Sun Quan led the troops in Jiangdong. Why didn't he complete reunification?

In people's impression, Sun Quan, as the founding emperor of Wu in the Three Kingdoms period, has always been a talent image that can be compared with Cao and Liu.

/kloc-at the age of 0/9, he inherited his brother Jiangdong's inheritance, rebelled peacefully in his heart, and reached out to Liu Bei; Battle of Red Cliffs, defeating the strong with the weak, Cao Cao gave up the idea of going south; Later, Monroe was appointed, Guan Yu was captured and killed, and the battle of Yiling burned 800 Li. Then, is such a troubled hero who even his opponent Cao can't help but praise: "Give birth to a child like the same" really as great as people think?

In fact, unlike the founding emperors such as Cao and Liu, Sun Quan's country was not shot down by himself, but he inherited it from his father and brother. Sun Shi was not from Jiangdong, but was conquered by force. After Sun Ce's sudden death, there were many rebellions in Jiangdong. If it weren't for Sun Ce's old ministers Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu's efforts to suppress it, I'm afraid Sun Quan's military capability would be very sad for this first big difficulty.

Although Zhuge Liang said in Longzhong Dui that Sun Quan's "three generations are in the east of the Yangtze River, the country is in danger and the people are attached to it", this "three generations" has a lot of "moisture". Sun Jian died as early as fighting Liu Biao, and Wu Dong's land was actually the foundation laid by Sun Ce.

In 195, Sun Ce set out to cross the river, and in 200, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne. Only five years before and after. Although it can be regarded as "three", it is far from being widely supported. In order to deter the local gate forces, Sun Ce implemented a high-handed policy during the occupation of Jiangdong, which established the dominant position of the Sun family, but also made enemies with the local gate nobles.

On the other hand, in order to stabilize the rule, the Sun family had to rely on local forces to ensure the implementation of the policy. From this perspective, Wu Dong regime is more like a combination of Sun Shi and Jiangdong local gate valves. The two sides are consistent externally, with Sun Quan as the spokesman, but at home they are always ready to weaken each other and strengthen themselves.

Sun Quan understands that if we want to unify the whole country, we must change this loose political structure and strengthen centralization. However, due to his limited ability, despite Sun Quan's efforts to suppress local forces during his reign, after Lu Meng's sudden death, he had to resort to Lu Xun, the representative of Jiangdong Gate, to confront Liu Bei.

Another great shame of Sun Quan is the famous "Battle of Hefei". In 2 15, Sun Quan led 100,000 troops to attack Hefei, but Zhang Liao led 800 warriors to beat back, which became a big joke. Later, Sun Quan attacked Hefei four times and failed, which shows his military level.

The most criticized is the "dispute between the two palaces" that appeared in Sun Quan's later years. After the carefully cultivated prince died suddenly, Sun Quan appointed Sun He as the prince, and at the same time gave Sun Ba the same treatment as the prince, which made Sun Ba have the heart to fight for power and profit and fight to the death with the prince. In the end, Sun He was abolished and Sun Ba was sentenced to death. The initiator of this tragedy is Sun Quan.

In fact, for Sun Quan, it is unfair compared with Cao Cao and Liu Bei of uncles and nephews. As a "second generation", Sun Quan is not as good as the two "first generation" in both political ability and military ability, but he is ten million times better than the "second generation" Liu Cong and Yuan in the same period!
