Sun He 孫河

Sun He's deeds are recorded in the account of Sun Shao in the Biographies of the Ruling House, Records of Wu 6. Sun Shao's uncle Sun He, courtesy name Bohai, was originally surnamed Yu (俞) and was also a man of Wu. Sun Ce was fond of him, granted him the surname Sun and entered him in the clan register. Records, Wu 6 §40

When Tao Qian, Governor of Xu Province, came to regard Sun Ce with deep suspicion, Sun Ce moved his mother by carriage to Qu'e and, together with Lü Fan and Sun He, went to his maternal uncle Wu Jing, who was then Administrator of Danyang, and through his connections recruited several hundred men. According to Wu Jing's biography, Sun Ce, Sun He and Lü Fan relied on Wu Jing and joined forces with him to attack Zu Lang, a mountain bandit of Jing County, and Zu Lang was defeated and fled.

Lü Fan's biography records that at the time when Tao Qian regarded Lü Fan as a spy of the Yuan and had him seized, only Lü Fan and Sun He always followed Sun Ce, enduring hardship over mountains and rivers and never shrinking from danger or difficulty. Records, Wu 11 §33

According to Wu Can's biography, when Sun He was a county chief, Wu Can was a minor clerk, and Sun He thought him most remarkable. When Sun He later became a general and was able to choose his own officials, he submitted a memorial making Wu Can Assistant of Qu'e, and Wu Can, promoted to Chief Clerk, left a notable record of good government. The account of Sun Shao records that Sun He became a general and was stationed at Jingcheng. Records, Wu 12 §77Records, Wu 6 §40

Earlier, when Sun Quan killed Sheng Xian, the Administrator of Wu Commandery, Gui Lan and Dai Yuan, whom Sheng Xian had recommended as Filial and Incorrupt, fled and hid in the mountains. When Sun Yi became Administrator of Danyang, he summoned the two with courtesy, and Gui Lan became Grand Commander supervising the troops while Dai Yuan became Commandery Assistant. Records, Wu 6 §41

In the 9th year of Jian'an (204), Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Yi, the Administrator of Danyang, was murdered by those around him. Sun He galloped to Wanling and angrily rebuked Gui Lan and Dai Yuan for failing to keep proper control and allowing a treacherous outrage to occur. The two conferred, saying, 'Bohai is only a distant relative of the general, yet he rebukes us like this. If the General Who Attacks Barbarians comes, not one of us will be left,' and in the end they killed Sun He. They then sent men north to welcome Liu Fu, the Inspector of Yang Province, intending to have him stay at Liyang and to respond to him with Danyang, but just then Sun Yi's subordinates Xu Yuan, Sun Gao, Fu Ying and others killed Gui Lan and Dai Yuan.

At the age of seventeen, Sun Shao gathered Sun He's remaining followers and repaired Jingcheng to prepare to resist the enemy. Sun Quan, who had returned on hearing of the upheaval, met Sun Shao the next day and thought him highly capable; he appointed him Commandant Who Carries On Valor and had him command Sun He's private troops. He also gave him the two counties of Qu'e and Dantu as his fief and let him appoint his own officials, all as in Sun He's former arrangement. Records, Wu 6 §43

Sun He's son Sun Huan, courtesy name Shuwu, was appointed General of the Household Who Pacifies the East at the age of twenty-five and resisted Liu Bei together with Lu Xun. Chen Shou's main text does not record the year of Sun He's birth or his age at death. Records, Wu 6 §49 · 40–43

In his assessment of the Biographies of the Ruling House, Chen Shou said that these members of the Sun clan had either helped lay the first foundations of the state or held and guarded the frontiers, proving equal to their duties and not disgracing their honours, and that he had therefore recorded them in detail.
