Wu Jing 吳景

Lady Wu, the wife of Sun Jian, was originally a native of Wu who had moved to Qiantang; having lost her parents early, she lived with her younger brother Wu Jing. When Sun Jian heard of her talent and beauty and wished to marry her, her relatives, calling Sun Jian frivolous and cunning, meant to refuse, but she persuaded them to allow the marriage, saying that they could not bring disaster on themselves for the sake of one daughter; she bore four sons and a daughter.

Because Wu Jing always followed Sun Jian on campaigns and won merit, he was appointed Chief Commandant of Cavalry. When Yuan Shu submitted a memorial having Wu Jing concurrently hold the post of Administrator of Danyang, Wu Jing attacked the former administrator Zhou Xin and in the end took over the commandery.

When Tao Qian, Governor of Xu Province, came to regard Sun Ce with deep suspicion, Sun Ce, since his maternal uncle Wu Jing was Administrator of Danyang, carried his mother in a carriage to Qu'e and went with Lü Fan and Sun He to Wu Jing, gathering several hundred men. Wu Jing joined forces with Sun Ce and the others to attack Zu Lang, a mountain bandit of Jing County, and Zu Lang was defeated and fled. Records, Wu 1 §25Records, Wu 5 §3

Liu Yao was made Inspector of Yang Province by imperial edict, but fearing Yuan Shu in Huainan he did not dare go to the province, and when he wished to cross the Yangtze to the south, Wu Jing and Sun Ben received him and settled him at Qu'e. But when Yuan Shu attacked and seized various commanderies and counties, Liu Yao, on the grounds that Wu Jing and Sun Ben were men appointed by Yuan Shu, pressed them and drove them out. The two withdrew to Liyang. Records, Wu 4 §4–5Records, Wu 1 §28

Yuan Shu made Wu Jing Army-Supervising General of the Household, and together with Sun Ben he attacked Fan Neng and Yu Mi at Hengjiang and assailed Ze Rong and Xue Li at Moling. The biography of Sun Ce records that Yuan Shu had Wu Jing and Sun Ben attack Zhang Ying and the others, but that they could not win for more than a year. Sun Ce persuaded Yuan Shu to let him help Wu Jing and the others pacify Jiangdong, and having crossed the Yangtze he helped Sun Ben and Wu Jing defeat Zhang Ying, Fan Neng and the others and then attacked Liu Yao. When Sun Ce was wounded at Niuzhu and the bandits who had surrendered rose in revolt again, Wu Jing attacked them and captured them all. Records, Wu 5 §3 · 4Records, Wu 1 §28–29Records, Wu 6 §26

After Liu Yao abandoned his army and fled, Wu Jing and the others wished first to crush Yan Baihu of Wu County and the rest and then go to Kuaiji. Sun Ce said that Yan Baihu and his like were merely a band of brigands without great ambition and would surely be captured, and he led his troops across the Zhe River, took Kuaiji, and then defeated Yan Baihu and the others. Sun Ce appointed all the senior officials anew and again made Wu Jing Administrator of Danyang. Records, Wu 1 §30–31

When Liu Yao fled to Yuzhang, Sun Ce sent Wu Jing and Sun Ben to Shouchun to report to Yuan Shu. Since Yuan Shu was then contending with Liu Bei for Xu Province, he made Wu Jing Administrator of Guangling. When Yuan Shu usurped the imperial title, Sun Ce remonstrated with him by letter but was not heeded; he cut off the Yangtze crossings, ending all contact, and had someone inform Wu Jing. Wu Jing at once abandoned the commandery and returned east. At that time Sun Ce had intended to have Xu Kun concurrently hold the post of Administrator of Danyang, but when Wu Jing came after abandoning Guangling, he again made Wu Jing Administrator of Danyang.

When the Han court sent the Consultant Wang Pu (王誧) south bearing its commands, Wang Pu submitted a memorial making Wu Jing General Who Displays Martial Might and having him govern the commandery as before. In the 8th year of Jian'an (203) Wu Jing died in office. Records, Wu 5 §5 · 7

His son Wu Fen received troops and became a general, was enfeoffed as Marquis of Xinting, and died. Wu Fen's son Wu An succeeded him but was put to death for being a partisan of Sun Ba, the King of Lu; Wu Fen's younger brother Wu Qi then succeeded, was enfeoffed as Marquis of a Chief Village, and died. His son Wu Zuan succeeded him, and because Wu Zuan's wife was the daughter of Teng Yin, he was killed along with Teng Yin when Teng Yin was executed. Records, Wu 5 §7
