Main article: Battle of Red CliffsAfter Liu Biao's death, a succession struggle for his domain came into being, between his sons Liu Qi and younger son Liu Cong, whom Liu Biao's second wife Lady Cai favored (because he had married her niece). Soon after, Liu Biao died while Cao Cao was preparing a major campaign to subjugate both Liu Biao and Sun Quan under his control, precipitating a major confrontation. In 208, he was finally able to defeat and kill Huang Zu in battle. Throughout this period and decades to come, Sun Quan's leadership would be characterized by his ability to find men of character and entrust important matters to him, and his ability to react swiftly to events.įor the next several years, Sun Quan was largely interested in first defending his realm against potential enemies, but he gradually sought to harass and weaken Liu Biao's key subordinate, Huang Zu (who controlled the northeastern region of Liu Biao's domain) - particularly because Huang Zu had killed his father in battle. Sun Quan also sought out talented young men to serve as his personal advisors, and it was around this time that he befriended Lu Su and Zhuge Jin, who would later play prominent roles in his administration. (At Zhang Hong's request, Cao Cao, in the name of Emperor Xian, commissioned Sun Quan as General Who Attacks Barbarians (討虜將軍), a title that he would be known for a long time.) He listened carefully to his mother Lady Wu's encouraging words, and greatly trusted Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong with regard to civilian affairs and Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, and Lü Fan with regard to military matters. Zhang Hong, whom Sun Ce had earlier sent as a liaison to the warlord Cao Cao, also returned from Cao's domain to assist Sun Quan. Many of Sun Ce's subordinates thought that Sun Quan was too young to sustain Sun Ce's domain and wanted to leave, but Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu saw special qualities in the young man and chose to stay to serve Sun Quan. Initially, Sun Quan mourned his brother's death so much that he could do nothing, but at Zhang Zhao's behest, he dressed himself in military uniform and set out to visit the commanderies under his brother's control. On his deathbed, he knew that his son was still too young to be considered a realistic heir, so he entrusted the 18-year-old Sun Quan to his faithful subordinates. Sun Ce was assassinated in 200 during a hunt. Local folklore relates a story about how Sun Quan's grandfather, Sun Zhong, was originally a melon farmer on the islet. According to later tradition, Sun Quan was born on Sunzhou ("Sun Island", later Wangzhou - "King's Island"), an islet at the intersection of the Fuchun River and one of its tributaries. The Records of Three Kingdoms detail that Sun Jian was a descendant of renowned Warring States Period militarist Sun Wu (better known as Sun Tzu). He was made a county magistrate in 196, at the age of 14, and continued to rise through the ranks as his brother gave him more and more important tasks. As he grew up, he served his brother during the conquests of the region south of the Yangtze River. After his father's death in 191, he became the charge of his brother Sun Ce. Sun Quan was born in 182, while his father Sun Jian was still a general of the Han Dynasty. He shows great care toward his troops and retainers and is even friendly to Liu Bei despite the two being bitter rivals, he will stop at nothing to achieve his dream of gain control of china and fill it with prosperity. Sun Quan is the older brother of Sun Ji (Sun Ce) and Sun Shang Xiang (in reality, he is Sun Ce's younger brother in history) who wants to unite all of China under the Sun Family, causing him to break ties with Dark Lord Cao Cao after witnessing him to be a threat that must be exterminated.
