孫策
[b]Sun Ce[/b] (孫策) (175 – 5 May 200), courtesy name [b]Bofu[/b], was a Chinese military general, politician, and warlord who lived during the late [[Han dynasty|Eastern Han dynasty]] of [[Chinese Empire|China]]. He was the eldest child of [[Sun Jian]], who was killed during the Battle of Xiangyang when Sun Ce was only 16. Sun Ce then broke away from his father's overlord, [[Yuan Shu]], and headed to the Jiangdong region in southern China to establish his own power base there. With the help of several people, such as [[Zhang Zhao]] and [[Zhou Yu]], Sun Ce managed to lay down the foundation of the state of [[Eastern Wu]] during the [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms|Three Kingdoms period]].

In 200, when the warlord [[Cao Cao]] was at war with his rival [[Yuan Shao]] in the Battle of Guandu, Sun Ce was rumoured to be planning an attack on Xuchang, Cao Cao's base. However, he was assassinated before he could carry out the plan. Sun Ce was posthumously honoured as "Prince Huan of Changsha" (長沙桓王) by his younger brother [[Sun Quan]] when the latter became the founding emperor of Eastern Wu.
