Zhou Yu is a very famous figure in the Three Kingdoms, in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu Lupine Scarf, gentlemanly, is the top pillar of Eastern Wu, although young but has a very lofty status, he was born in a famous family, his grandfather, cousin are in important positions in the imperial court, Zhou Yu received a good education when he was a child, plus Zhou Yu was born smart, grew up tall and tall, looks very handsome, both beautiful and talented, which made many people very admired him, Sun Jian with Yuan Shao when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Zhou Yu had a deep friendship with Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu had high hopes for the Sun family, hoping that Sun Ce could get rid of the shackles and do a big career.
At that time, Sun Ce just had the idea of self-reliance, so he and Zhou Yu immediately hit it off, when Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River in the east, Zhou Yu recruited troops to buy horses to meet Sun Ce, and Sun Ce happily said to Zhou Yu: With you here, why worry about big things! Later, Sun Ce founded the country in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu also became a founding hero, although Zhou Yu this person is superior in strategy and scheming, but he is very faithful to his friends and relatives, and the people have praised Zhou Lang, Zhou Yu was twenty-four years old at the time, and the people of Wu County called him Zhou Lang to show their respect for him.
Not only in the career is very complete, in love Zhou Yu is also very smooth, Zhou Yu married jiangdong beauty Xiao Qiao as his wife, for a while Zhou Yu's life can be said to have reached its peak, the Sun family brothers have great trust in Zhou Yu, their wives are very protective of themselves, if a man can live such a life, what regrets does it have? One of the battles that made Zhou Yu famous was the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu advocated forming an anti-Cao coalition army with Liu Bei to resist the mighty momentum, leading a million troops to try to eliminate Cao Cao of Eastern Wu, Chibi Battle Zhou Yu burned the Cao army and abandoned its armor, thus forming a three-legged situation, Cao Cao was seriously injured since the defeat of Chibi, and was no longer able to eliminate Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Liu Bei was able to gain a foothold in Shu with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, of which Zhou Yu was indispensable, just when Zhou Yu was sailing smoothly and all careers reached its peak, Perhaps it was Heavenly Envy, Zhou Yu's doom finally came.
Zhou Yu died at the age of 35, and so far the cause of Zhou Yu's death has not yet been conclusively definitive. In the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is said that Zhou Yu was killed by his opponent Zhuge Liang, and before dying, he also shouted out a painful sentence that has been circulated for thousands of years: He Shengyu He Shengliang! But in fact, by consulting historical materials, we can know that When Zhou Yu debuted, Zhuge Liang was still a primary school student! The level of seniority of the two was not at the same level at all, at that time Zhuge Liang was just a young strategist attached to Liu Bei's account, and he had no chance to fight with Zhou Yu, how could Zhou Yu be killed by Zhuge Liang? So this statement is pure nonsense in the novel.
There is also a saying that when Jian'an was fifteen years old, Zhou Yu proposed to conquer Yizhou, and after Sun Quan approved it, he did not expect that Zhou Yu led his army to fall seriously ill on the way to the conquest, and since then he has been ill and eventually died of illness in Yueyang, Hunan. This statement is not very credible, because Zhou Yu is young and strong, only 36 years old should not have any major problems, and there is no historical record of Zhou Yu's illness before Zhou Yu's death, so there are many doubts about Zhou Yu's illness and death.
The most credible is Zhou Yu's zhongjianyi, and the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms records that Yu personally crossed the horse to shake Chen, and would flow arrows to the right flank, and the sores were even worse, so he returned. The meaning of this sentence is that Zhou Yu personally went into battle, accidentally hit the enemy's stray arrow, was too badly injured, and later died on the way because he could not recover from the marching battle, when he was only 36 years old, Sun Quan heard and cried: "Gongjin has wang Zuo's assets, but his life is short, what else can I rely on?" He also personally put on his mourning clothes to mourn for Zhou Yu, and was touched. When Zhou Yu's coffin was transported back to Wu County, Sun Quan went to Wuhu to greet him, and all funeral expenses were paid by the state. Sun Quan, who was proclaimed empress dowager, said to Gongqing, "Without Gongjin, I would not have been able to become emperor." ”
