Quan Cong (198–249),[1] courtesy name Zihuang, was a military general of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. He was a son-in-law of Wu's founding emperor, Sun Quan, as he married Sun Quan's eldest daughter Sun Luban. He participated in the campaigns against the restless Shanyue tribes in the Wu territories and achieved success in pacifying them. In 228, he fought alongside the Wu general Lu Xun in the Battle of Shiting against Wu's rival state, Cao Wei, and scored a victory over the Wei general Cao Xiu.

Quote from Sanguozhi vol. 60: (十二年卒， ...) However, the Jiankang Shilu mentioned that Quan Cong was 52 years old (by East Asian age reckoning) when he died, so, by calculation, Quan's birth year should be around 198.
