[edit] Life

Sun Fu, styled Guoyi, was the second son of Sun Qiang, Sun Jian’s twin brother. He followed Sun Ce in his later campaigns against Yuan Shu andLiu Xun, earning great merits by raiding Ling Yang and Lu Jiang. When Liu Xun was defeated, Sun Fu was put in charge of rebuilding the city’s walls, which he accomplished very well. He earned the title of General Who Pacifies the South.

Before the Battle of Chi Bi, Sun Fu decided to surrender to Cao Cao. To this end, he sent a letter to Cao Cao proclaiming his intent to surrender, but this letter was intercepted. Sun Quan angrily stripped Sun Fu of all rank and imprisoned him, but spared him on account of filial duty. Sun Fu was released and died a few years after the battle, never again having a military command. His sons, however, all received rank.
