In addition to his elder brother Sun Ce, there were three younger brothers, namely Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, and Sun Lang. Sun Yi was Sun Quan's third brother, however, due to an accident, Sun Yi was assassinated by his subordinates.
Sun Yi had a more violent personality and was very strict with his subordinates, and in the eighth year of Jian'an (203), Sun Yi was appointed as the Taishou of Danyang, when he was young, only twenty years old.
Sun Yi's subordinates Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan were punished by Sun Yi many times for doing things improperly, so these two people became resentful, plotted to rebel, and wanted to kill Sun Yi, so they bought Sun Yi's relatives and Bian Hong, and prepared to carry out the assassination.
At that time, it was just when Sun Quan led troops to recruit Jiang Xia Taishou Huangzu, so Concubine Lan and Dai Ren felt that the opportunity had come.
In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), the officials of Danyang County came to meet Sun Yi, sun Yi's wife Xu Shi was a big beauty and was also good at divination, so Sun Yi asked his wife to do it for him, Xu Said, look at the gua xiang, there is a fierce gua, so he advised Sun Yi not to hold a banquet, cancel it. However, Sun Yi felt that these officials had been coming for a long time, and it was inappropriate to cancel, so he entertained them and let them leave as soon as possible, and after the banquet, Sun Yi sent the guests back.
At this time, an accident occurred.
Usually, Sun Yi would wear a knife when he came in and out, but on that day, Sun Yi did not bring a knife because he was drunk, which gave the thief an opportunity to take advantage of it. When Sun Yi returned from sending the guests, Bian Hong followed behind him and suddenly swung his sword, Sun Yi was defenseless and was hacked to death by Bian Hong.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Sun Yi records that in the eighth year of Jian'an, the general Danyang Taishou was led by the general, and he was twenty years old. The pawn was killed by the left and right Side Hong, and the Hong was also cursed.
At that time, Sun Yi did not have an entourage around him, and there was no one to guard him.
After Bian Hong killed Sun Yi, he fled into a big mountain, Sun Yi's wife Xu Shi immediately led someone to search for him, and soon, he caught Bian Hong, and in order to escape the crime, Fei Lan and Dai Ren poured all the dirty water on Bian Hong, and killed Bian Hong, but everyone knew that the black hands behind the scene were Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan.
Sun He of the Eastern Wu Clan came to check on the situation, and Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan, fearing that the matter would be revealed, killed Sun He.
Seeing that the paper could not contain the fire, Concubine Ran did not do anything, and did not stop, broke into Sun Yi's mansion and robbed all of Sun Yi's concubines, this thief was not satisfied, saw that Sun Yi's wife Xu Shi was very beautiful, and forced Xu Shi to commit herself to him.
Xu Shi knew in her heart that Concubine Lan and Dai Ren were the murderers behind the scenes, so she first pretended to promise Concubine Lan, on the pretext that she would wait until the mourning period for her husband expired, and then marry him, and Concubine Lan agreed.
Seeing that the thieves were deceived, Xu secretly joined forces with Sun Yi's close associates Sun Gao and Fu Bao to make a plan to kill the thieves.
On the day of the marriage ceremony, Concubine Lan did not suspect it, and when she was happy, Sun Gao and Fu Bao suddenly rushed out and killed Concubine Lan, and then killed Dai Yuan.
The Wu Li records that Bian Hong was instructed by Concubine Lan and Dai Ren. After Sun Yi's death, Concubine Lan wanted to rob the concubine's room and still wanted to occupy his wife Xu Shi, but Xu Shi pretended to accept it, and privately summoned Sun Yi to get close to the old generals Sun Gao, Fu Bao, Xu Yuan, and others to plan to kill Concubine Lan and Dai To avenge Sun Yi.
After Sun Quan returned from requisitioning Huang Zu, he killed Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan's entire family.
Sun Yi's wife, Xu Shi, avenges her husband's hatred, which is commendable, and she is really worthy of being a husband among women!
