He Qi
He Qi (died 227),
courtesy name Gongmiao, was a military general serving under the warlords
Sun Ce and
Sun Quan during the late
Eastern Han dynasty, and later in the state of
Eastern Wu during the early
Three Kingdoms period of China. He was especially noted for his extravagance and preference for equipping his troops with flashy weapons, armour and well-decorated ships. At the same time, he was also adept in dealing with the
Shanyue tribes in Sun Quan's territories, having quelled several local uprisings by them over the years. His achievements secured the stability of the inner lands of
Jiangdong and provided a strong foundation for the development of the Eastern Wu state. His campaigns in southern China also set a precedent for other generals serving under Sun Quan, such as
Bu Zhi and
Lü Dai. In his later years, He Qi participated in some battles against Wu's rival state,
Wei, during which he seldom scored a victory.
