Cheng Pu

Cheng Pu began his military career serving Sun Jian, the founder of the Eastern Wu dynasty. He participated in Sun Jian's campaigns against Dong Zhuo during the campaign against the tyrant, establishing his reputation as a capable commander.

After Sun Jian's death, Cheng Pu transferred his loyalty to Sun Ce. He played a key role in Sun Ce's conquest of the Jiangdong region, helping to establish the foundation of the Wu kingdom through numerous battles.

Following Sun Ce's death, Cheng Pu served Sun Quan as a senior general. He provided crucial military advice and leadership during the early years of Sun Quan's rule, helping to stabilize the Wu regime.

Cheng Pu served as a senior commander under Zhou Yu in the allied forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei against Cao Cao. The victory at Red Cliffs prevented Cao Cao's southern conquest and solidified the tripartite division of China.

Cheng Pu died of natural causes at an advanced age, having served three generations of the Sun family. His long service and loyalty were highly respected, and he was posthumously honored by Sun Quan.
