In the 4th month, summer, of the 4th year of Chiwu (241), Quan Cong, General of the Guards, raided Huainan and fought the Wei general Wang Ling at Quebei. According to the Biography of Gu Tan, the army of Quan Cong, then Grand Commander, fared badly, and when the Wei troops overran the force of Qin Er, commander of the Five Camps, Gu Tan's younger brother Gu Cheng and Zhang Xiu fought hard and halted the Wei army. Quan Cong's sons Quan Xu and Quan Duan were also serving as generals at the time; once the enemy had halted they advanced and attacked, and Wang Ling's army withdrew because of this.

In the assessment of merit, halting the enemy was judged the greater deed and driving the enemy back the lesser, so Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng became generals with miscellaneous titles, while Quan Xu and Quan Duan remained mere subordinate generals. Quan Ji (全寄) and his father bore all the more resentment and together slandered Gu Tan, who was implicated and exiled to Jiao Province. Records, Wu 7 §44–45

In the 10th month, winter, of the 1st year of Jianxing (252), the Grand Tutor Zhuge Ke led troops to dam Lake Chao, gathered his forces at Dongxing and built a great embankment once more. Resting against the hills on the left and right, he built two forts flanking the embankment, left a thousand men in each, had General Quan Duan guard the western fort and the Commandant Liu Lüe guard the eastern fort, and then led the army back.

Wei, ashamed that the Wu army had entered its territory, in the 12th month gave Hu Zun, Zhuge Dan and others 70,000 infantry and cavalry to surround the two forts and break the embankment. Hu Zun and the others crossed on pontoon bridges, deployed on the embankment and divided their troops to attack the two forts, but the forts stood on high, steep ground and could not be taken quickly. Zhuge Ke, who had raised 40,000 troops and hastened there day and night, routed the Wei army at Dongxing on the day wuwu of the 12th month (early 253 CE) and killed Han Zong, Huan Jia and others.

In the 5th month of the 2nd year of Ganlu (257), Zhuge Dan, General-in-Chief Who Conquers the East of Wei, held the city of Shouchun with the forces of Huainan, sent General Zhu Cheng to submit a memorial declaring himself a vassal of Wu, and had his Chief Clerk Wu Gang take his son Zhuge Jing there to ask for help. In the 6th month Wu gave Wen Qin, Tang Zi, Quan Duan and others 30,000 infantry and cavalry to rescue Zhuge Dan. The Biography of Zhuge Dan records that Wu had Quan Yi (全懌), Quan Duan, Tang Zi, Wang Zuo and others lead 30,000 men secretly together with Wen Qin, and that before the encirclement by Wang Ji, General Who Guards the South, had closed, Tang Zi, Wen Qin and others made use of the hills and rugged terrain northeast of the city and got inside.

Sima Wenwang (Sima Zhao), the General-in-Chief, came leading 260,000 troops of the central and provincial armies and had Wang Ji, Chen Qian and others surround Shouchun in a double ring, inside and out, while Zhu Yi of Wu, who came to the rescue, was repeatedly beaten and was put to death by Sun Chen. The Biography of Zhong Hui records that the Wu grand general Quan Cong was a relative by marriage and a senior minister of Sun Quan, and that his son Quan Yi (全懌), his grandson Quan Jing, and his nephews Quan Duan, Quan Pian, Quan Ji (全緝) and others all came leading troops to rescue Zhuge Dan. Meanwhile, younger members of the Quan family who had stayed at Jianye went over to Wei. The Biographies of the Three Successor Rulers record that in the 11th month Quan Xu's sons Quan Yi (全禕) and Quan Yi (全儀) fled to Wei with their mother, while the Biography of Zhong Hui records that Quan Hui and Quan Yi (全儀), sons of Quan Yi (全懌)'s elder brother, after a family quarrel and lawsuit, took their mother, led several dozen households of their retainers across the River, and went over to Wenwang of their own accord.

Zhong Hui devised a plan: he secretly wrote a letter in the names of Quan Hui and Quan Yi (全儀) and had people they trusted carry it into the city to inform Quan Yi (全懌) and the others. The letter said that the Wu court, angered that Quan Yi and the others had failed to break the siege of Shouchun, meant to kill the families of all the generals, and that they had therefore fled and come to entrust their lives to Wei. Quan Yi and the others, frightened, led the troops under their command out through the eastern gate and surrendered, and all received fiefs and favor. Because of this, those inside the city turned against one another and fell apart. Records, Wei 28 §99–100

The Biographies of the Three Successor Rulers record that in the 12th month Quan Duan, Quan Yi (全懌) and others went from the city of Shouchun to Sima Wenwang, and the Annals of the Three Young Emperors record that in the 12th month, winter, the Wu grand generals Quan Duan, Quan Yi and others surrendered with their troops. The Biography of Zhuge Dan records that the General-in-Chief used a ruse to sow discord and won over Quan Yi and the others, and that when they opened the city gate and came out leading several thousand men, the city was struck with fear.

The Biographies of Consorts record that at that time five men of the Quan family held marquisates and all commanded troops, but when Zhuge Dan came over with Shouchun, Quan Yi (全懌), Quan Duan, Quan Yi (全禕), Quan Yi (全儀) and others all took the opportunity to surrender to Wei, and Quan Xi was killed when his plot leaked, so that the Quan clan declined. Later, Sun Chen, who had deposed Sun Liang, said in a letter to Sun Xiu that the Minister of Ceremonies Quan Shang, though his family had received favor for generations, had failed to keep his kinsmen in check, and that Quan Duan and others had abandoned their city and gone over to Wei.
