| Other = Sun Yan 〔 }} Sun Yi (184–204), courtesy name Shubi, was a younger brother of Sun Quan, a warlord who lived in the late Eastern Han dynasty and became the founding emperor of the state of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms period. ==Life== Sun Yi was the third son of the warlord Sun Jian, who lived in the late Eastern Han dynasty, and Sun Jian's wife, Lady Wu. He was known for his martial valour and fiery personality, which made him resemble his eldest brother Sun Ce very much. He was nominated as a ''xiaolian'' (civil service candidate) by Zhu Zhi and served in the office of the Minister of Works.〔(孫翊字叔弼，權弟也，驍悍果烈，有兄策風。太守朱治舉孝廉，司空辟。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 51.〕 Sun Jian was killed in action at the Battle of Xiangyang in 191 and was succeeded by Sun Ce. Between 194 and 199, Sun Ce launched a series of conquests in the Jiangdong region (around present-day southeastern China) and established his domain in the area. In 200 CE, when Sun Ce was mortally wounded during a hunting expedition, his adviser Zhang Zhao and other subjects believed that he would name Sun Yi as his successor, but Sun Ce chose his second brother Sun Quan instead.〔(典略曰：翊名儼，性似策。策臨卒，張昭等謂策當以兵屬儼，而策呼權，佩以印綬。) ''Dianlue'' annotation in ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 51.〕 In 202, Sun Quan killed Sheng Xian, the Administrator (太守) of Wu commandery (吳郡). Some of Sheng Xian's associates and protégés went into hiding in the mountainous areas of Jiangdong. In the following year, Wu Jing, the maternal uncle of Sun Quan and his brothers, died in office while serving as the Administrator of Danyang commandery (丹楊郡). Sun Yi, who was 19 years old then and held the rank of a Lieutenant-General (偏將軍), was appointed as the new Administrator of Danyang.〔''Generals of the South'', p. 229 ((chapter 4 ))〕 Danyang was adjacent to Wu commandery, so Sun Yi reached out to some of the disgruntled followers of Sheng Xian, enticing them to Danyang and offering them positions in the Danyang administration in order to stabilise the region. Two of these men, Gai Lan (媯覽) and Dai Yuan (戴員) came to work for Sun Yi. Dai Yuan was appointed as a "Civil Assistant" (郡丞) while Gai Lan was given a high military command with the slightly irregular title "Grand Chief Controller" (大都督).〔''Generals of the South'', p. 229 note 34〕〔(初，孫權殺吳郡太守盛憲，憲故孝廉媯覽、戴員亡匿山中，孫翊為丹楊，皆禮致之。覽為大都督督兵，員為郡丞。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 51.〕 Gai Lan and Dai Yuan were still dissatisfied and they harboured the intention of rebelling. They forged close ties with Bian Hong (邊鴻, also rendered 邊洪), an aide of Sun Yi. Once, when Sun Quan was away on a campaign, they took advantage of the situation to set their plans into motion. At the time, the various Chiefs of the counties in Danyang were scheduled to meet Sun Yi in the commandery capital. Before the meeting, Sun Yi asked his wife, Lady Xu (徐氏), who was versed in divination, to predict the events of the meeting. Lady Xu predicted ill luck and advised her husband to postpone the meeting, but Sun Yi wanted to settle the meeting quickly because the Chiefs had been waiting for some time since they arrived, so he hosted a banquet for them. Sun Yi often carried a sword with him when he travelled around, but he became tipsy after the feast so he was unarmed when he saw the guests off. Just then, Bian Hong attacked him from behind. The scene was thrown into disarray and no one came to Sun Yi's rescue so Sun died at the hands of Bian Hong. Bian Hong escaped to the hills after murdering Sun Yi, but was later killed by Gai Lan and Dai Yuan.〔(建安八年，以偏將軍領丹楊太守，時年二十。後年為左右邊鴻所殺，鴻亦即誅。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 51.〕〔(吳歷曰：媯覽、戴員親近邊洪等，數為翊所困，常欲叛逆，因吳主出征，遂其姧計。時諸縣令長並會見翊，翊以妻徐氏頗曉卜，翊入語徐：「吾明日欲為長吏作主人，卿試卜之。」徐言：「卦不能佳，可須異日。」翊以長吏來久，宜速遣，乃大請賔客。翊出入常持刀，爾時有酒色，空手送客，洪從後斫翊，郡中擾亂，無救翊者，遂為洪所殺，迸走入山。徐氏購募追捕，中宿乃得，覽、員歸罪殺洪。) ''Wu Li'' annotation in ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 51.〕 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 Yi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
