He Yi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He Yi
Traditional Chinese: 何儀
Simplified Chinese: 何仪

He Yi a member of the Yellow Turbans that occupied the city of Runan during the end of Han Dynasty. As the Yellow Turban Rebellion declined, he and other Yellow Turban remnants like Liu Pi, He Man, and Huang Shao (黃邵) allied with Yuan Shu and Sun Jian in the early 190s, and managed to amass tens of thousands of men by the middle of the decade. In 196 when Cao Cao launched a campaign against them, they all surrendered to Cao Cao after Huang Shao was killed by Yu Jin.

In the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, even after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was over, He Yi still occupied Runan. However, while fleeing from Cao Cao's approaching army, he was captured by Xu Chu, then a volunteer army leader, and was given to Cao Cao who promptly executed him. There was no account of He Yi's death in recorded history.
