He Qi, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms [transferred from Baidu without responsibility]

He Qi (?-227), whose courtesy name was Gongmiao, was from Shanyin, Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Jiangsu). He was a famous general of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period.

He Qi was young as a county official and the chief guard. At that time, the county official Si became a traitor. He Qi was ready to deal with him. The chief clerk dissuaded him and said, "After, the county clan is attached to Shanyue, and will be governed today, and the Japanese invaders will arrive tomorrow" ("Three Kingdoms·Wu Book·Biography of He Qi"). After hearing this, He Qi was furious and immediately beheaded Si Xiang. When the clan members of Si Xiang found out, they immediately gathered more than a thousand people to attack the county town. He Qi led the army and civilians to open the city to attack and defeat them. He Qi was thus intimidated by Shanyue.

Later, the peasant uprisings in Taimo and Fengpu, He Qi was appointed as Taimo Chang, and it took only one month to suppress the uprising.

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Sun Ce opened up Jiangdong to the Taimo period. After observation, He Qi was appointed as a filial and honest person. At that time, Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), was defeated by Sun Ce and fled to Dongye. The chief of the Hou Shangsheng raised an army to respond to Wang Lang. Sun Ce appointed Han Yan, the chief of Yongning, as the commander of Shangsheng, and appointed He Qi as the commander of Yongning. However, Han Yan was defeated by Shangsheng, and He Qi replaced Han Yan to take charge of the commander of the commander of the commander. Shangsheng was afraid of He Qi's reputation and wanted to lead his army to surrender.

.But Zhang Ya, Zhan Qiang and others were unwilling to surrender with Shang Sheng, so they killed Shang Sheng. Zhang Ya called himself the supreme general and forced him to be the prefect of Kuaiji. At that time, Zhang Ya had many soldiers, but He Qi had few soldiers, which was not enough to fight. He Qi stationed troops to stop the troops and waited for the opportunity. Soon, Zhang Ya and his son-in-law He Xiong were incompatible because of the struggle for power. He Qi asked the Shanyue people to take the opportunity to get rid of the two. The two then raised their troops and fire. He Qi led the army to advance and defeated Zhang Ya. The remaining party was very shocked and led the crowd to surrender.

In the eighth year of Jian'an (203), Hong Ming, Hong Jin, Yuan Yu, Wu Duan, Huadang and other leaders of the southern part of Kuaiji County, Jian'an (now Jian'an, Fujian), Hanxing (now Pucheng, Fujian), Nanping (now Nanping, Fujian), etc., rose up to oppose Sun Quan, and led more than 10,000 people to camp in Hanxing; Wu Wu led 6,000 people to station Datan (now Datan Mountain, Jianyang, Fujian), and Zou Lin led 6,000 people to station Gaizhu (Nan of Jianyang), and the momentum was very strong. Sun Quan ordered the southern commander He Qi to attack, and ordered each county to send 5,000 troops, led by the county magistrate and county magistrate, and were under the command of He Qi.

He Qi led his army to Jian'an to establish the Duwei Mansion. At that time, the enemy was very small. In order to ensure the connection between the expedition army and the rear, He Qi ordered Ding Fan, the chief of Songyang County (now Huangyan District, Zhejiang) to lead his troops to retain Yu Khan (now Jian'oubei). Because he did not accept the order, He Qi killed him, and the entire army was shocked and all were sentenced to life. So he went straight to Hanxing, attacked the enemy camp, won consecutive victories, and killed Hong Ming, Hong Jin and four others surrendered. Then he returned to the army to attack Datan, Gaizhu, Wu Wu, and Zou Lin also surrendered. In this battle, he annihilated 6,000 enemies, collected more than 10,000 elite troops, restored the original county and town, and stabilized the ruling order. Sun Quan worshipped He Qi as the lieutenant of Pingdong.

In the tenth year of Jian'an (205), He Qi led his army to attack Shangrao.

In the 13th year of Jian'an (208), He Qi was moved to the General of the Central Lang of Weiwu. In the same year, in the same year, in Yi County (now east of Yi County, Anhui) in Danyang County (now east of Yi County, Anhui) in the Eastern Wu territory (now east of Yi County, Anhui) and She County (now She County, Anhui) (now She County, Anhui) continued to rebel against Wu. At this time, Sun Quan's main force was surrounding Hefei. In order to stabilize the situation in the territory, He Qi sent his troops to suppress it. Jin Qi and Mao Gan, the leaders of She County, each led 10,000 tribes to divide the Anqin Mountain and Wuliao Mountain; Chen Pu, the leader of the Yi County clan, Zushan, led more than 20,000 tribes to station Linli Mountain (south of Yi County). Linli Mountain was surrounded by cliffs and cliffs, hundreds of feet high, and the mountain road was narrow, and only one person was allowed. The rebels were on the high side and could not bear to the enemy. The Wu army was wandering for more than a month and could not capture it. After He Qi personally surveyed the terrain, he secretly recruited strong warriors.

Carrying iron tiles, spreading the mountain as a road, climbing up the mountain at night, then using cloth belts to pull up more than a hundred elite soldiers at the foot of the mountain, hiding everywhere, and striking drums and swaying. The rebels were frightened and gave up the mountain road they guarded and fled to the camp. The Wu army then climbed to the top of the mountain to attack the enemy camp, annihilated Chen Pu who was entrenched in Linli Mountain, and Zushan rebels were beheaded 7,000 levels. Jin Qi and Mao Gan of She County led their troops to surrender. After pacifying Danyang, Sun Quan transferred Yi County, She County, and the newly pacified six counties including Li Yang (now southeast of Xiuning, Anhui), Xiuyang (now east of Xiuning, Anhui). From Danyang County, Dandu County was assigned to Xindu County, and appointed He Qi as the prefect of Xindu County and added a partial general. In this battle, He Qi won a surprise victory, which was one of the outstanding examples of mountain attacks in ancient Chinese war history, and provided reference for later generations to use troops.

In the 16th year of Jian'an (211), Lang Zhi, a native of Yuhang in Wujun, rebelled and soon gathered thousands of people. He Qi led his army to fight and defeat his army. The above report divided Yuhang into Linshui County. After He Qi returned to the army, Sun Quan personally went out to greet He Qi and gave him a carriage and horses to get on the car. He Qi did not dare. Sun Quan asked his subordinates to help He Qi get on the car and sent someone to drive the car. Sun Quan smiled and said, "People should work hard, and they must not be able to get it." ("Three Kingdoms·Wu Book·Biography of He Qi"). He did not return until more than a hundred steps.

In the 18th year of Jian'an (213), Peng Cai, Li Yu, Wang Hai, and others from Yuzhang rose up to rebel, and more than 10,000 people were. He Qi led his troops to conquer and beheaded his leader. The rest of the people surrendered. From them, the strong ones were selected as soldiers. He Qi was promoted to General Fenwu due to his merits.

In the 20th year of Jian'an (215), He Qi followed Sun Quan to conquer Hefei and was defeated by Wei general Zhang Liao. When Sun Quan retreated, Zhang Liao led his army to attack. Sun Quan retreated to Xiaoyaojin and quickly made a horse to fly over. Fortunately, He Qi led 3,000 people to respond in the south of Xiaoyaojin, and Sun Quan was lucky enough to escape. Sun Quan entered the big boat to have a banquet. He Qi came down to the table and said, "The Supreme Lord should always be polite. Today's affairs have almost caused disasters and defeats. The people are terrified. If there is no heaven and earth, I would like to take this as a lifelong warning!" Sun Quan said, "I am ashamed and have been engraved, not only a calligraphy gentry" ("Zizhi Tongjian·Volume 67").

In the 211th year of Jian'an (216), the bandit commander in Poyang suddenly caused a rebellion and had a great influence. He Qi and Lu Xun led their troops to pacify him, beheading thousands of them, and the remaining parties were subdued, and all the three counties of Danyang surrendered. He also selected 8,000 elite soldiers. He Qi was promoted to General Andong, was appointed Marquis of Shanyin, and supervised the military from Fuzhou to Anhui.

In the first year of Huangwu (222), Wei general Cao Xiu attacked Wu. He Qi arrived because of the long road and then stationed troops in Xinshi to resist the enemy. Soon, the wind suddenly blew up in the Yangtze River, and the Wu army's ships and cables were broken, and the ships were blown to Cao's camp. Cao Xiu took advantage of the situation to attack, and the Wu army lost nearly a thousand people. Thanks to He Qi's failure to cross the river and no losses, the generals were able to protect them.

He Qi was fond of luxury and fancy, especially military. "The military and armor were extremely exquisite. The ship he was riding was carved with elixirs, green covers and crimson turtles, dried oars, spears, claws, paintings, bows, crossbows, arrows, all of which were the best materials. The Mengchong Dou Ship was like a mountain" ("Three Kingdoms·Book of Wu·Biography of He Qi"). Cao Xiu and others did not dare to act rashly when they saw the emperor, so they had to lead the army and return. He Qi was promoted to the post of the Later General because of his merits, and was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou.

In the second year of Huangwu (223), Jin Zong, the guard of Wu Xikou (now the Yangtze River Port in Wuchang, Hubei), led his army to rebel Wu and surrendered to Wei. Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi appointed him as the prefect of Qichun and ordered him to return to Qichun (now southwest of Qichun, Hubei), defending the border, and occasionally crossing the river to raid the Wu border city Le'an (now the Wuchang area). Sun Quan was ashamed of it. In June of the same year, it was in the heat of the year, which was usually not conducive to the army. Sun Quan ordered He Qi to command Mi Fang, Liu Shao and other troops. Unexpectedly, he raided Qichun, captured Jin Zong, and took back the Qichun County.
