170 – 200s), courtesy name Youtai, was the younger brother of the general Sun Jian,[2] who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China.
[3][4] Sun Jing was from Fuchun County, Wu Commandery, which is around present-day Fuyang District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang.
In 184, Sun Jian was tasked with raising troops to fight the Yellow Turban Rebellion, gathering a thousand men from Xiapi and between the Huan and Si Rivers before joining with Zhu Jun.
[4] In 196, Sun Ce who had conquered Wu and half of Danyang focused his attention on Kuaiji which was under Wang Lang who had been there some time.
[17] In charge of the garrison at Wucheng, he organized troops, which led to suspicions he was aiming for Kuaiji[18][17] but Yu Fan ensured the area was well-prepared and warned Sun Gao off, declaring the officials would remain loyal.
The 14th century novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong has Sun Jian independent of Yuan Shu and a warlord in his own right rather than a subordinate general.
When Sun Ce died, oversaw the burial of the young warlord on the orders of Zhang Zhao.
