A succession struggle broke out between Sun Quan's sons in the later part of his reign — Sun Quan instated Sun He as the crown prince in 242 after his former heir apparent, Sun Deng, died in 241, but Sun He soon became involved in a rivalry with his younger brother, Sun Ba.

For example, An Nam chí lược is the earliest surviving historical book to mention Lady Triệu who led a rebellion against the kingdom of Eastern Wu in 3rd century.
Lady Xie (birth and death dates unknown) was a concubine of Sun Quan, the founding emperor of the state of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms period.
The defining work of de Crespigny's career would have to be Generals of the South, which narrates the rise of the Sun clan and the formation of the Three Kingdoms tripartite.
Hou, eventually coming to believe that Emperor Wu would betray him and turn him over to Eastern Wu to exchange for Xiao Yuanming, rebelled in fall 548, eventually capturing the Liang capital Jiankang and holding Emperor Wu and then his successor Emperor Jianwen of Liang as puppets.
In 228, being lured by a fake surrender of Eastern Wu general Zhou Fang (Three Kingdoms), Cao Xiu planned to attack Eastern Wu and advanced deeply into the front line Huancheng (皖城).
However, his strategy turned out to be faulty—as he was initially targeting Shouchun (壽春, in modern Lu'an, Anhui) but, on his way, changed his mind and attack Hefei instead, despite the fact that Hefei's defenses were strong and intended to withstand major Eastern Wu attacks.
Sun Xiu sent two separate forces, one attacking Shouchun and one heading toward Hanzhong to try to alleviate pressures on Shu Han, but neither was at all successful, and Shu Han's capital Chengdu and its emperor Liu Shan surrendered later that year without having received major help from Eastern Wu.
Sun Quan proclaimed himself the emperor of Eastern Wu in 229, and moved the capital to Jianye.
Not long after the end of the first expedition, Eastern Wu inflicted a defeat on Cao Wei at the Battle of Shiting, on the Hefei battlegrounds.
