Quan Cong (198–249),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.

In 241, he participated in a campaign against Wei, conquered Huainan commandery and destroyed the dam at Quebei (芍陂). Quan Cong's attack was well timed, as many of the soldiers of Yang province were being given leave at that time. At the opposing forces Sun Li led the defence at Quebei against Quan Cong, taking part personally in the fighting. He is said to have fought from morning to evening. Over half of Sun Li's soldiers were killed or wounded, and Sun Li himself received several wounds, as did his horse. However, he held his defense against Quan Cong, showing no concern for his personal safety until Wang Ling arrived with reinforcements and together with Sun Li counterattacked and successfully driving off Quan Cong from Huainan.
