Gongyou (公祐), was an advisor and emissary to
Liu Bei during the late
Eastern Han Dynasty period. He was originally working for
Tao Qian, the governor of
Xuzhou (徐州), together with
Mi Zhu,
Mi Fang and Cao Pao. After the death of Tao Qian and Xuzhou was passed on to Liu Bei, Sun Qian and his colleagues served Liu Bei from then on. During his servitude to Liu Bei, he acted as an advisor and sometimes as an emissary, or on rare occasion as a commander during war.
During Liu Beis' flight from Chang Ban, he bravely defended the eastern road to the Chang Jiang River. When Liu Bei established Shu Kingdom, Sun Qian was awarded a position almost higher than
Zhuge Liang due to his long years of serving Liu Bei.
