Preface
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many heroes, and after the death of Sun Ce, a loyal general Zhou Yu suddenly decided to lead his troops to mourn, which caused countless speculations and discussions.
What kind of deep friendship makes Zhou Yu so decisive? What secrets and emotions are hidden behind his actions after Sun Ce's death?
19 years later, Zhou Yu has long been buried on the ground, but Sun Quan told the reason, and this long-sealed past was finally revealed. What is it that makes people so moving after a long time?
Koto Shuangbi: A Fateful Encounter
In that era of rising heroes, the meeting of two young people was destined to change the course of history. Sun Ce, after being born in Jiangmen, has shown extraordinary talent and ambition since he was a child.
Zhou Yu, the son of a family, is talented and resourceful. These two young people, who seem impossible to become close friends, have formed a deep friendship under the arrangement of fate.
In 175 AD, Sun Ce, who was only 17 years old, and Zhou Yu, who was 15 years old, met in Jiangdong. The two hit it off at first sight and soon became inseparable friends. Sun Ce is heroic and hearty, Zhou Yu is gentle and elegant, the two complement each other's personalities, but they are like-minded. They often talk about the world's major events and set great ambitions.
During Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian's Northern Expedition to Dong Zhuo, Zhou Yu offered to take care of Sun Ce's family. He placed the Sun family in his hometown and took good care of him, and this friendship deeply touched Sun Ce. The friendship between the two became even more unbreakable during this time.
However, a twist of fate soon struck. In 191 AD, Sun Jian was unfortunately killed in a battle with Liu Biao. Sun Ce, who was only 18 years old, shouldered the important task of revitalizing the family.
At this critical moment, Zhou Yu once again lent a helping hand. He not only provided financial support for Sun Ce, but also brought grain, grass and boats to help Sun Ce tide over the difficulties.
It was this experience of sharing hardships and hardships that made Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's friendship stronger. Sun Ce was well aware of Zhou Yu's talent and regarded him as his most important advisor and right-hand man. The two went hand in hand and began the grand cause of conquering Jiangdong.
The Dilemma of Troubled Times: Sun Ce's Last Choice
In 200 AD, Sun Ce, who was only 26 years old, was unfortunately injured in a hunting trip and was critically injured. As the man at the helm of Soochow, Sun Ce knew how complicated the situation he was facing.
The Soochow regime had just been established, and there were still many internal contradictions, and it was surrounded by powerful enemies from the outside. How to choose a suitable heir became Sun Ce's most difficult decision before his death.
Inside Sun Ce's big tent, the atmosphere was solemn. His henchman Zhang Zhao stood beside the bed with a serious expression. Sun Ce asked weakly, "Zhang Zhao, who do you think I should hand over the power to?" "
Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment and replied: "Lord, in my opinion, it is better to appoint the third prince Sun Yi as the heir. Sun Yi has a resolute personality and is quite a lord. In this era of the strong, we need a leader who can stand the scene. "
Sun Ce listened and fell into deep thought. He thought of his second brother Sun Quan, although his personality was not as sharp as Sun Yi's, but he was more calm and introverted.
Sun Ce recalled his conquests over the years, and deeply felt that his reckless advance had also brought a crisis to Eastern Wu. Perhaps, a more stable leader is what Soochow needs.
In the end, Sun Ce made a decision. He shook his head and said to Zhang Zhao, "No, I want to make Zhongmou (Sun Quan) the heir." Seeing Zhang Zhao's surprised expression, Sun Ce continued: "Zhang Zhao, you are my most trusted strategist.
I know you're worried about Zhongmou, but I believe in his potential. If he really can't do it, you can take over the power yourself or choose someone you see fit. "
This decision not only shows Sun Ce's trust in Sun Quan, but also shows his reliance on Zhang Zhao. Sun Ce knew that after he left, Soochow needed to unite in order to survive in this troubled era.
The Power Vacuum: Sun Quan's Difficult Situation
The news of Sun Ce's death was like a bombshell, causing a huge shock within the Soochow regime. Although the young Sun Quan inherited his brother's place, he soon found himself in an extremely dangerous situation.
Within Soochow, forces from all sides are ready to move. Some people are dismissive of the young lord, while others are secretly plotting how to replace him. Sun Quan felt pressure from all sides every day, and he knew that his position was at stake.
The most dangerous challenge came from his uncle, Sun Hui. After learning the news of Sun Ce's death, Sun Wei marched to Sun Quan's garrison with an army in the name of mourning.
On the surface, this was an act of mourning for the ancestors, but everyone knew what Sun Hui's true purpose was. Sun Quan's staff were nervous, fearing that Sun Wei would launch a coup d'état as soon as he arrived.
At this critical moment, an official named Yu Fu stepped forward. Regardless of his personal safety, he denounced Sun Wei's inappropriate behavior in person, pointing out that leading soldiers to the funeral was contrary to the etiquette system, and it was even more disrespectful to the new master.
Yu's courage and eloquence discouraged Sun Wei's ambitions, but the episode also made Sun Quan realize that his position was far from secure. He needs more support, he needs someone who can really help him take control.
Just when Sun Quan was anxious about how to consolidate his power, a news came: Zhou Yu was leading the army and rushed to the funeral.
Zhou Yu's choice: righteousness is thin and cloudy shows true feelings
When Zhou Yu learned of Sun Ce's death, he was commanding the army on the front line. This bad news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Zhou Yu difficult to accept for a while. He and Sun Ce have been friends for many years, and the two are also teachers and friends, and they are like brothers. Now that his best friend has passed away, Zhou Yu is grief-stricken.
However, as a military commander, Zhou Yu quickly calmed down and began to think about the possible impact of this news. He was keenly aware that Sun Ce's sudden death would inevitably cause turmoil within Eastern Wu.
Although the young Sun Quan was made his heir, his position was extremely precarious. Zhou Yu knew in his heart that Soochow was at a critical turning point at this time.
If there is an internal split, it will not only ruin his and Sun Ce's hard work for many years, but also may cause the entire Eastern Wu to fall into a catastrophe. As Sun Ce's most trusted advisor and general during his lifetime, Zhou Yu felt a great responsibility.
After careful consideration, Zhou Yu made a key decision: to lead the troops back to the court for funeral. This decision may seem simple, but it is actually meaningful. By returning to the dynasty with his troops, Zhou Yu sent a clear signal to everyone: he would fully support Sun Quan and maintain the unity of Eastern Wu.
However, this decision also comes with significant risks. If other generals follow Zhou's example and return to Korea with their troops, it is likely to trigger a military coup.
Zhou Yu is well aware of this, but he believes that his influence and prestige can deter others with dissenting intentions. In this way, Zhou Yu led his elite troops and marched day and night towards the capital of Eastern Wu.
Along the way, he kept thinking about how to help Sun Quan stabilize the situation and how to continue his and Sun Ce's ideals. Zhou Yu firmly believes that only by uniting can Soochow gain a foothold in this era of separation.
The transfer of power: Zhou Yu's pivotal battle
When Zhou Yu led his army to the capital of Eastern Wu, the entire city was enveloped in an atmosphere of mourning. However, beneath this sad surface, there is an undercurrent.
All forces are paying close attention to Zhou Yu's every move, trying to guess how Sun Ce's most trusted general will choose to take sides.
Zhou Yu knows the rules of Game of Thrones. He knew that his every move would be stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and every word could be misinterpreted. Therefore, he decided to take a stand with his actions.
The moment he stepped into the palace gate, Zhou Yu made an unexpected move. He took off his armor, a symbol of military power, and changed into a plain uniform. Then, he walked straight to Sun Quan, who was presiding over the funeral, and respectfully performed a courtier's salute.
This scene shocked everyone present. Zhou Yu's move was also a declaration to everyone that he recognized Sun Quan's status and would assist the new lord as a courtier.
Sun Quan was thrilled when he saw Zhou Yu's actions. He knew that with Zhou Yu's support, his position would become more stable. But he also understands that this is just the beginning. More challenges await them in the future.
In the following days, Zhou Yu fully assisted Sun Quan in handling various affairs. He used his wisdom and prestige to dismantle the conspiracies that were unfavorable to Sun Quan one by one. At the same time, he also began to reorganize the military and political system of Soochow to lay the foundation for future development.
Zhou Yu's support not only helped Sun Quan survive the initial crisis, but also pointed the way for the future of Soochow. With Zhou Yu's assistance, Sun Quan gradually mastered the art of domination and began to show his potential as a good leader.
However, Zhou Yu knew in his heart that in order for Soochow to gain a foothold in this troubled era, it was far from enough to rely on internal unity. They also need to look for allies externally while being alert to possible threats. To this end, Zhou Yu began to formulate a long-term strategic plan for Soochow to prepare for future development.
epilogue
Zhou Yu's seemingly simple move of leading troops to the funeral actually contains far-reaching strategic significance.
It not only helped Sun Quan consolidate his power, but also laid the foundation for the future of Soochow. It was Zhou Yu's wisdom and loyalty that allowed Soochow to occupy a place in the situation of the Three Kingdoms.
As Sun Quan later sighed: "Lonely is not Zhou Gongjin, not an emperor!" Zhou Yu's contribution not only changed the fate of Soochow, but also left a strong mark in Chinese history.
