Sun Ce, a warlord who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, granted the family name "Sun" to Sun Shao but never adopted him as a son. Sun Shao's uncle was Sun He (孫河) né Yu He (俞河), who had been brought into the Sun clan by Sun Jian.〔''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', chapter 51, p. 1214〕 ==Life== In 204, Grand Administrator of Danyang, Sun Jian's son Sun Yi was assassinated in Wanling by rebels still loyal to their former master Sheng Xian. Sun He discovered the culprits, but as one of the assassins, Gai Lan (媯覽), held a high military post in the city, Sun He was unable to control the military and was killed as well. After the deaths of the assassins at the hands of Sun Yi's former generals Sun Gao (孫高) and Fu Ying (傅嬰), Sun Shao assumed control of Danyang commandery's military forces.〔''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', chapter 51, pp. 1214–6〕 The ruler of Eastern Wu, Sun Quan, tested Sun Shao's ability by feigning a night attack on his encampment, but found Sun Shao's men ready and his defences sound. The next day, Sun Quan rewarded the sixteen-year-old Sun Shao with the rank of colonel and control over the resources of Dantu (丹徒) and Qu'a (曲阿) counties, as well as formal control of the troops that had been under Sun He's command.〔''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', chapter 51, p. 1216; ''Generals of the South'', p. 231 ((chapter 4 ))〕 Prior to 220, Sun Shao was promoted to Deputy General and conferred the title of Grand Administrator of Guangling (廣陵) Commandery (roughly, the parts of modern Jiangsu and extreme eastern Anhui provinces which lie south of the Huai River and north of the Yangtze). In 220, when Sun Quan proclaimed himself king, he promoted Sun Shao to General Who Raises Might (揚威將軍), and granted the marquessate of Jiande, in present-day Hangzhou.〔''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', chapter 51, p. 1216〕 In late 225, Cao Wei's emperor Cao Pi, in a continuing effort to make Sun Quan's crown prince Sun Deng a hostage at his court, advanced a huge army of over 100,000 troops through Sun Shao's territory in Guangling, with the intention of crossing the Yangtze and marching to Wu's capital at Jianye. Unfortunately for him, the winter weather had made the Yangtze impassable with ice. Unable to get his boats safely into the river, Cao Pi withdrew in force.〔''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', chapter 2, p. 85; ''Zizhi Tongjian'', chapter 70, p. 2225 (year 225, entry 9); ''Generals of the South'', p. 384 ((chapter 7 ))〕 According to Zhang Bo (張勃)'s ''Record of Wu'' (吳錄), during the withdrawal, Sun Shao ordered his subordinate officer Gao Shou (高壽) and others to take some 500 of their most valiant warriors and make a night raid on the Wei lines in an attempt to capture Cao Pi alive. Gao Shou and his troops managed to capture several carriages in Cao Pi's escort, but the man himself eluded them.〔''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', chapter 47, p. 1132 note 3〕 In 229, when Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor, Sun Shao was given the title "General who Fortifies the North" (鎮北將軍). Sometime after 230, he was granted the empty Governorship of You Province.〔''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', chapter 51, p. 1216〕 You Province comprises present-day Beijing, Tianjin, parts of northeast Hebei and western Liaoning. Far from Wu's northern frontier, the area never fell under their control; granting the title was merely a political statement of Sun Quan's assumed imperial power. In 234, during the fourth battle of Hefei, Sun Shao and another general, Zhang Cheng, were tasked with leading a Wu army to attack Guangling and Huaiyin (淮陰). The episode ended in failure for Wu when Sun Quan's siege of Hefei was broken.〔''Zizhi Tongjian'', chapter 72, p. 2293 (year 234, entry 7)〕 Sun Shao died of natural causes in 241. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sun Shao (general)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
