When Sun Ce died, Sun Quan was only eighteen years old, and he took over his brother's throne and was supported as the lord of Wu. Because he himself is a young man, he attaches great importance to talented young people and lets them go, so that his team has always maintained strong combat effectiveness and become a powerful force that can compete with Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The so-called "young and ten thousand pockets, sitting down and breaking the southeast war." Who is the opponent of the heroes of the world? Cao, Liu. Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. This is the praise of Sun Quan by the famous lyricist Xin Qiji in the Song Dynasty.
Zhou Yu was a pillar of Sun Quan and was reused very early. When he was thirty-four years old, Sun Quan appointed him as the governor of the capital, in charge of the whole country. In this regard, Cheng Pu, the veteran who followed Sun Quan's father's expedition to the east and west, was very unconvinced, and publicly insulted Zhou Yu, but Sun Quan unswervingly insisted on his appointment.
Lu Su was born in poverty, and he was only in his twenties when he defected to Sun Quan, so he was a little childish and rustic, and he didn't know how to advance or retreat. Therefore, Zhang Zhao, the powerful former minister of the former dynasty, was very unaccustomed to him, and said to Sun Quan: "Su is young and careless, and he is not available." Sun Quan not only did not listen to him, but "benefited from the preciousness", kept Lu Su by his side, participated in political affairs, and soon appointed him as the governor. After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su was designated as Zhou Yu's successor.
Lu Xun was originally an unknown person, and after being favored by Sun Quan, he was immediately entrusted with an important task and asked him to directly command the battle of the sneak attack on Jingzhou. After that, Sun Quan almost had to ask Lu Xun's opinion on all major matters, especially about the interaction between Eastern Wu and Shu Han, which had to go through Lu Xun. "The current affairs are appropriate, the right to make Xun speak brightly, and engrave the power seal to place the land. Every time the right and (Liu) Chan and (Zhuge ) Liangshu often show their humility, whether they are serious or not, and if they are uneasy, they will order it to be changed and sealed it. Sun Quan's letters to Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang had to be stamped and sent after Lu Xun's consideration.
Sun Quan relied on this group of young people. "The war in the southeast has not ended" and launched a series of wars, resulting in a solid situation of separating Jiangdong. He went west to conquer, defeated Huang Zu in one fell swoop, ignited the Chibi fire, burned Cao Cao to the core, attacked Jingzhou without blood, eliminated Guan Yu, and set another fire in Yaoting, turning Liu Bei's 700-mile camp into a scorched earth. These wars established his firm position to dominate Jiangdong.
