Sun Ce (175-200 AD), courtesy name Bofu, was a native of Fuchun, Wujun (now Fuyang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang). He was the eldest son of Sun Jian, the General who defeated the enemy in the late Han Dynasty, and the elder brother of Sun Quan.

Sun Ce ruled Jiangdong and was one of the heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the important founders of the Sun Wu regime.

Sun Ce came from a noble family in Jiangdong. His father, Sun Jian, served as the prefect of Changsha County and the General who Breaks the Enemy. When Sun Jian led his army to attack Dong Zhuo, Sun Ce moved to Shu County (now southwest of Lujiang, Anhui) with his mother and became friends with Zhou Yu.

In the second year of Chuping (191 AD), Sun Jian died in battle. Sun Ce fled to his uncle Wu Jing, and soon defected to Yuan Shu. He was allowed to lead Sun Jian's former subordinates and was promoted to the rank of Huaiyi Colonel.

Yuan Shu promised Sun Ce to serve as the prefect of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County respectively, but he broke his promise twice, which made Sun Ce disappointed.

In the second year of Xingping (195 AD), Sun Ce requested to lead his troops to attack Liu Yao. Yuan Shu recommended Sun Ce as the commander of the army and appointed him as the general who eliminated bandits.

Sun Ce led his troops across the Yangtze River to the south, taking the opportunity to break away from Yuan Shu's control. He joined forces with Zhou Yu and successively defeated Liu Yao, Wang Lang, Yan Baihu and others, occupied the five counties of Jiangdong, and took charge of himself as the prefect of Kuaiji County.

Sun Ce recruited talented people, made important use of Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao, and appointed Qin Song, Chen Duan and others as advisers, and the army grew rapidly.

In the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), Yuan Shu usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Sun Ce wrote a letter to break off relations with him. Cao Cao recommended Sun Ce as the general to suppress the rebellion and conferred him the title of Marquis of Wu.

Sun Ce led his troops to capture Lujiang County and took over the six counties in Jiangdong, becoming a vassal of the Han Dynasty.

Sun Ce was assassinated by the followers of his enemy Xu Gong while he was hunting. He was seriously injured and died at the age of 26.

Before his death, Sun Ce left a will that his younger brother Sun Quan would succeed him. After Sun Quan became emperor, he posthumously named Sun Ce the King Huan of Changsha.

Sun Ce conquered the six counties of Jiangdong in just over four years, laying the foundation for the founding of the Sun Wu Kingdom. People at that time spoke highly of Sun Ce, believing that he was both brave and resourceful, and good at using troops.
However, Guo Jia believed that Sun Ce was reckless and unprepared, and would eventually die at the hands of an ordinary person. During the Jin Dynasty, people such as Chen Shou, Fu Xuan, and Sun Sheng praised Sun Ce's bravery and talent.
He pacified Jiangdong and appointed talented people. Later scholars such as He Qufei, Hao Jing, Zhang Peilun, and Lu Bi also recognized Sun Ce's achievements.

If he could live longer, he would have become a serious threat to Cao Wei. However, Chao Buzhi and Mao Zonggang believed that although Sun Ce was brave and courageous, he put himself in danger and lacked the demeanor of a king.

Sun Ce came from the Sun family, an aristocratic family in Wu County. His father, Sun Jian, served as the prefect of Changsha County and General Po Lu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was granted the title of Marquis of Wucheng.

In the first year of Chuping (190 AD), Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo.

Sun Ce was sixteen years old at the time and had already begun to make friends with famous people. Zhou Yu, a member of a noble family in Shu County, was born in the same year as Sun Ce. Hearing about Sun Ce's reputation, he

Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Ce move to Shu County (now southwest of Lujiang, Anhui), and Sun Ce followed his advice. Zhou Yu gave Sun Ce a large house to live in.

In the winter of the second year of Chuping (191 AD), Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Liu Biao sent his general Huang Zu to lead troops to stop Sun Jian, who was accidentally shot to death by a hail of arrows.

Sun Ce transported his father's body back to Qu'a County (now Danyang City, Jiangsu Province) for burial.

After burying his father, Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River and moved from Shu County to Jiangdu (now in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province) with his mother and younger brother.

He also intended to make friends with local nobles and talented people, and people in the Jianghuai area turned to him. Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, was very concerned about Sun Ce living in his jurisdiction and intended to expel Sun Ce.

In the first year of Xingping (194 AD), Sun Ce entrusted his mother and younger brother to Zhang Hong from Guangling, and went to Shouchun (now Shou County, Huainan City, Anhui Province) to meet with Yuan Shu, the governor of Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu was unwilling to return Sun Jian's former troops to Sun Ce, so he asked him to seek refuge with his uncle Wu Jing, who was then the governor of Danyang County.

Sun Ce then went with Lu Fan from Runan and his clan member Sun He to welcome his mother to live in Qu'a County of Danyang Commandery, and to depend on his uncle Wu Jing.

With the help of his uncle Wu Jing, Sun Ce recruited hundreds of soldiers locally. However, he was attacked by Zu Lang from Jing County and almost lost his entire army.

Sun Ce went to Yuan Shu again, and this time Yuan Shu returned Sun Jian's old subordinates to Sun Ce. The Grand Tutor Ma Ritian held the staff to appease Guandong.
Yuan Shu invited Sun Ce to be his subordinate and appointed him as Huaiyi Colonel. Yuan Shu's generals Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun all respected Sun Ce.

One of Sun Ce's cavalrymen committed a crime and fled to Yuan Shu's camp, hiding in a stable. Sun Ce sent someone to kill the cavalryman.
After the incident, he went to visit Yuan Shu to apologize, and Yuan Shu even spoke well of him. After that, everyone in the army was even more afraid of Sun Ce.

Yuan Shu originally promised Sun Ce the post of governor of Jiujiang County, but later changed his mind and appointed Chen Ji from Danyang as governor of Jiujiang County. Later, Yuan Shu planned to attack Xuzhou.
Yuan Shu asked Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, for 30,000 hu of rice, but Lu Kang refused to give it to him. Yuan Shu was furious. Sun Ce had visited Lu Kang before, but Lu Kang avoided him.
Yuan Shu only allowed his chief clerk to receive him, which made Sun Ce resentful. Yuan Shu then sent Sun Ce to attack Lu Kang, promising that if he won, he would be appointed governor of Lujiang County.

Sun Ce led his troops to attack Lu Kang and captured Lujiang. However, Yuan Shu appointed Liu Xun, his former subordinate, as the governor of Lujiang County, which made Sun Ce even more disappointed.

Zhu Zhi from Danyang was an old subordinate of Sun Jian. He saw that Yuan Shu was not virtuous, so he advised Sun Ce to break away from Yuan Shu and occupy Jiangdong.

Previously, the court appointed Liu Yao as the governor of Yangzhou, but the capital of Yangzhou, Shouchun, was occupied by Yuan Shu. Liu Yao had no choice but to cross the Yangtze River to the south and set up the capital in Qu'a County.

Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing was the governor of Danyang County, and his cousin Sun Ben was the commander of Danyang County. They had contacts with Yuan Shu. Soon after Liu Yao arrived in Qu'a,
Wu Jing and Sun Ben were driven away. Liu Yao also sent his generals Fan Neng, Zhang Ying and others to station at Hengjiangjin and Danglikou on the Yangtze River to resist Yuan Shu.

Wu Jing and Sun Ben retreated to Liyang County (now Hexian County, Anhui Province) and Yuan Shu secretly appointed Hui Qu, a native of Langya, as the governor of Yangzhou and Wu Jing as the lieutenant general of the army.

Together with Sun Ben, he led troops to attack Zhang Ying and others, but they failed to win after years of fighting. In July of the second year of Xingping (195 AD), Sun Ce persuaded Yuan Shu to
He asked to help his uncle Wu Jing and others to pacify Jiangdong. At that time, Wang Lang occupied Kuaiji County, and Yuan Shu believed that Sun Ce might not be able to pacify Jiangdong.

So he agreed to Sun Ce's plan and recommended him as the commander of the army to take over the duties of the general who would destroy the bandits. Sun Ce had more than a thousand infantrymen and dozens of cavalrymen under his command.
There were several hundred followers who were willing to follow him. Sun Ce recruited soldiers along the way, and when he arrived at Liyang County, he already had five or six thousand men.

At that time, Zhou Yu's uncle Zhou Shang was the governor of Danyang County. Zhou Yu led his troops to welcome Sun Ce and provided him with food and grass.
Sun Ce was overjoyed and immediately led his troops to attack Hengjiangjin and Danglikou. Fan Neng, Zhang Ying and others were defeated and fled. Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River and fought in many places.

Sun Ce attacked Liu Yao's military camp at Niuzhu, seized all of its food and supplies, and successively captured Moling, Hushu, Jiangcheng and other places.
He continued to attack Liu Yao's seat in Qu'a, and Liu Yao abandoned his army and fled. Sun Ce captured Qu'a, rewarded his soldiers, and issued an order to appease the people. Many people came to join Sun Ce. In just over ten days, Sun Ce had more than 20,000 soldiers and more than a thousand horses, and he was feared by the people of Jiangdong.

In December of the second year of Xingping (195 AD), Yuan Shu recommended Sun Ce to serve as the general who would destroy the bandits. Sun Ce appointed Lü Fan as the commander-in-chief.

He made use of Han Dang, Huang Gai and other former generals of Sun Jian, rectified military discipline, and recruited talented people, appointing Zhang Hong as the chief counselor and Zhang Zhao as the chief secretary.

He often assigned one of them to garrison while the other followed the army to fight, and also recruited Qin Song, Chen Duan and others as advisers. Zhou Yu and his uncle Zhou Shang led the troops back to Shouchun.

Yan Baihu and other people from Wu County gathered tens of thousands of people and became bandits in the mountains, gathering and stationing in various places. Wu Jing and others suggested to Sun Ce that they should first eliminate Yan Baihu and other bandits who were relatively close to them.

Then he went south to capture Kuaiji County. Sun Ce thought Yan Baihu and other bandits were not a concern, so he led his troops across Zhejiang and attacked Kuaiji County.
Wang Lang, the governor of Ji County, sent troops to Guling (now Xixing Town, Xiaoshan City, Zhejiang Province) to stop Sun Ce. Sun Ce crossed the river several times to attack Wang Lang but failed to win.

His uncle Sun Jing suggested a night raid, so Sun Ce's troops attacked Wang Lang in two directions and killed his general Zhou Xin. Wang Lang fled and took a boat across the sea to Dongye County (now Fuzhou City, Fujian Province).

Sun Ce led his troops in pursuit and defeated Wang Lang's army, so Wang Lang surrendered. After Sun Quan captured Kuaiji County, he returned and defeated the bandits Yan Baihu and others.

Jiangdong was basically pacified, and Sun Ce reappointed the administrative heads of various counties. Sun Ce himself became the governor of Kuaiji County, and appointed Wu Jing as the governor of Danyang County.
Appointed Sun Ben as the governor of Yuzhang Prefecture; separated part of Yuzhang Prefecture to set up Luling Prefecture and appointed Sun Ben's brother Sun Fu as the governor;

He appointed Zhu Zhi, a native of Danyang, as the governor of Wujun. At this point, Sun Ce occupied the five counties of Jiangdong and gradually grew stronger.

In February of the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), Yuan Shu usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Sun Ce wrote a letter to condemn Yuan Shu and broke with him.

Soon, Cao Cao recommended Sun Ce as Cavalry Commandant, succeeding Sun Jian's title of Marquis of Wucheng, and formally appointed him as the governor of Kuaiji County.

Sun Ce sent the Lieutenant General Zhang Hong to Xuchang to meet Cao Cao. Cao Cao wanted to appease and recruit Sun Ce, so he recommended Sun Ce as the General to Suppress Rebellion and conferred the title of Marquis of Wu on him.

In the fourth year of Jian'an (199 AD), Yuan Shu died of illness. Chief Secretary Yang Hong, General Zhang Xun and others led Yuan Shu's troops and planned to surrender to Sun Ce.

Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang, intercepted them and captured Yang Hong, Zhang Xun and others, and captured all of Yuan Shu's followers.

Pretending to form an alliance with Liu Xun. At that time, in Shangliao City, Haihun County, under the jurisdiction of Yuzhang County, more than 10,000 families were organized together by clan relations.
A local armed force was formed, and Sun Ce persuaded Liu Xun to attack them. Liu Xun led his army to attack Shangliao, and when the army arrived at Haihun County, the local clan forces fled after learning about it, and Liu Xun gained nothing.

At that time, Sun Ce was planning to lead his troops to attack Huang Zu who was stationed in Jiangxia (now Wuhan City, Hubei Province). As soon as Sun Ce's army reached Shicheng,

When he heard that Liu Xun's army was in Haihun, Sun Ce sent his cousins ​​Sun Ben and Sun Fu to lead 8,000 troops to station in Pengze, while he and Jiangxia governor Zhou Yu led 20,000 troops to attack Liu Xun's capital Wancheng (now Qianshan City, Anhui Province).
After conquering Wancheng, Sun Ce captured more than 30,000 people from Liu Xun's army. Sun Ce also recommended Li Shu, a native of Runan, as governor of Lujiang County and gave him 3,000 men to guard Wancheng.

Liu Xun returned to Pengze, but was defeated by Sun Ben and Sun Fu. Liu Xun fled and asked Huang Zu for help.

Huang Zu sent his son Huang She to lead 5,000 naval forces to assist Liu Xun. Sun Ce returned to attack Liu Xun and defeated him. Liu Xun fled and defected to Cao Cao.

After Sun Ce captured Lujiang County, he took over the six counties of Jiangdong and established his own regime. At that time, Yuan Shao's power was gradually growing stronger, and Sun Ce annexed Jiangdong.

Cao Cao's power was not enough to suppress Sun Ce, so he could only appease him temporarily. Cao Cao then betrothed his younger brother's daughter to Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Kuang.
He also married his son Cao Zhang to Sun Ben's daughter, recruited Sun Ce's younger brothers Sun Quan and Sun Yi as his subordinates, and instructed the Yangzhou governor Yan Xiang to recommend Sun Quan as a talented person to the court.

, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were deadlocked at Guandu (now Zhongmou County, Henan Province). Sun Ce planned to secretly attack Xuchang and welcome Emperor Xian of Han.

Sun Ce secretly organized his army and deployed his generals, but before he could lead his troops to set out, he was assassinated by Xu Gong's followers.

Previously, Sun Ce had killed Xu Gong, the governor of Wujun. Xu Gong's youngest son fled with his followers and hid by the Yangtze River, intending to avenge Xu Gong.

Sun Ce was naturally fond of hunting, and because he rode a fine horse, the guards' horses could not keep up.

When Sun Ce was out hunting, he suddenly met three retainers of Xu Gong, who shot arrows at Sun Ce's face, wounding him.
The guards then rode up on horseback and killed the attacker. Sun Ce was seriously injured, and when he returned to his seat, he invited Zhang Zhao and others to come.
He told them to assist his younger brother Sun Quan wholeheartedly. Sun Ce then called Sun Quan forward, and hung his official seal and sash on him, letting him inherit the position. That night, Sun Ce died at the age of 26.

In the first year of Huanglong (229 AD), Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor and posthumously named his father Sun Jian as Emperor Wulie and his elder brother Sun Ce as King Huan of Changsha.
Sun Ce's son Sun Shao was made Marquis of Wu, and later changed to Marquis of Shangyu. After Sun Shao's death, his son Sun Feng inherited his title.

When Sun Hao ascended the throne, there were rumors that Sun Feng should be the emperor, so Sun Hao ordered him to be executed.

In the second year of Xingping (195 AD), Sun Ce asked Yuan Shu to let him lead his troops south to fight against Liu Yao, and was appointed as the commander of the army.

Sun Ce led 5,000 to 6,000 infantry and cavalry to Liyang. With the support of Zhou Yu, he defeated the troops of Fan Neng and Zhang Ying and successfully crossed the river.
Sun Ce captured Liu Yao's camp at Niuzhu, seized its food and supplies, and continued to attack Moling, Hushu, Jiangcheng and other places.
Sun Ce defeated Liu Yao at Qu'a, and Liu Yao abandoned his army and fled. Sun Ce's army expanded to more than 20,000 people, and quickly consolidated his power in Jiangdong.

In the first year of Jian'an (196 AD), Sun Ce led his army across Zhejiang to attack Wang Lang, the governor of Kuaiji.
However, under the strategy of his uncle Sun Jing, he launched a night attack, beheaded Wang Lang's general Zhou Xin, and forced Wang Lang to flee to Dongye.

Eventually they surrendered. After this battle, Sun Ce occupied Kuaiji, and then defeated other local forces, completing the pacification of Jiangdong.

In the fourth year of Jian'an (199 AD), Sun Ce captured Lujiang County, defeated Lujiang governor Liu Xun, and incorporated more than of his followers.

It further strengthened its military strength and laid a solid foundation for the rule of the Eastern Wu in the six counties of Jiangdong. (End of this chapter)
