Historical Information
He Qi was an officer of Wu. During Qi's service, he served under both Sun Ce and Sun Quan. He was born in Shanyin, capital of Kuaji and joined Sun Ce in 196 AD. He initially was the Chief Commandant of the Southern Region but was soon given control of the county of Yongning, which had been under the rule of Wang Lang. Soon, he greatly expanded the southern borders of Wu. By 205, he had recruited a 10,000 army and had formed eight new counties. In 208, he was appointed General of the Gentlemen of the Firm and Majestic Household by Sun Quan. He was then ordered to take over the Yi and She counties, which he did easily.

He continued to expend the territory of Wu. He served in the failed battle of He Fei. He, along with Lu Xun destroyed the rebellion of You Tu in 216. After this, he stayed on the Yangzi frontier and defended the region from the Shan Yue. His achievements makes him one of the most important officers of Wu, as his achievements proved critical for the development of the State of Wu, and allowed future expansion that would be carried out by the likes of Bu Zhi and Lu Dai. He, more than any other officer, secured the stability of the outer regions for the Kingdom of Wu. He Qi was also known as being very extravagant, favoring showy type weapons, armor and ships.
