However, throughout the later scholars' evaluation of Zhou Yu, it is a praise for his talent, wisdom and character. "The young man once supported the society, and the three points were counted as Zhou Yu. A heroic hero in the world, Jiang Zuo's beautiful husband. The feats are majestic and the Beidou, and the reputation is fierce and fierce, shaking Eastern Wu. Youth returns to the yellow soil, mentioning the teaching of people to turn sighs. This is Fan Chengda's evaluation of Zhou Yu, and the words between the words are full of affirmation and praise for Zhou Yu.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu is a talented teenager who is proud of the spring breeze. Zhou Yu, who was born in a noble family, has an outstanding conversation. He has the characteristics of a brave and decisive personality, does not panic when things happen, and actively comes up with ways to solve them. After Sun Ce's death, the people of Eastern Wu were panicked, and in order to appease the hearts of the army, Zhou Yu, in accordance with his friend's last words, desperately supported Sun Quan as the leader. It was Zhou Yu's decisive personality characteristics that made Eastern Wu feel one heart. In addition, Zhou Yu has the characteristics of not being arrogant and impatient. Zhou Yu, who is in his 20s, has already shown his talents in Eastern Wu, where Zhou Yu is a well-known figure. Subsequently, he married the beautiful and gentle little Qiao as his wife, and Zhou Yu was undoubtedly a winner in life. However, after receiving many flowers and applause, Zhou Yu still mainly assisted Sun Quan, regardless of gains and losses and wealth.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu is portrayed as a narrow-minded person who is easily jealous of him.
Death of Zhou Yu
Zhou Yu was the head of the Four Yings of Eastern Wu, and had known Sun Ce for a long time and had become close friends. Zhou Yu became Sun Ce's adviser when sun ce quelled the Jiangdong rebellion, and was able to smoothly quell the Jiangdong War. Subsequently, Zhou Yu served as the governor of the water army. In 200 AD, Sun Ce died, and before his death, he told the soldiers that "foreign affairs are indecisive to Ask Zhou Yu."
In 208 AD, Zhou Yu served as the commander-in-chief of the Battle of Chibi and successfully won the victory, which became a famous battle in history with fewer victories and more victories. Subsequently, when Zhou Yu led his troops to attack Nan County, he was poisoned by poisoned arrows, but Zhou Yu commanded strongly and still captured Nan County. After Zhou Yu and Sun Quan gave Jingzhou to Liu Bei, Zhou Yu prepared to go to Chaisang County to recuperate. In 210 AD, Zhou Yu led an army to attack Xichuan, and when he reached Baqiu, he suffered an arrow wound and Zhou Yu died of illness.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is a saying of "Three Qi Zhou Yu". When Zhou Yu was attacking the city, he was poisoned by an arrow, and the doctor saved Zhou Yu, but warned Zhou Yu not to be angry, so as not to cause an arrow wound. The first time Zhou Yu was angry, Liu Bei had captured three cities without much effort, which made Zhou Yu very angry. The second time was when Zhou Yu wanted to use Sun Quan's sister to calculate Liu Bei, but the plot miscalculated, and eventually Sun Quan's sister married Liu Bei. On the third occasion, Zhou Yu learned that Liu Bei was comforting the soldiers on the front line, so he wanted to take the opportunity to attack the city, but he was once again caught in Zhuge Liang's plan. Zhuge Liang used tactics to anger Zhou Yu three times, causing Zhou Yu to attack his heart in anger, and before he died, he also shouted loudly," "He Shengyu He Shengliang."
Therefore, there is the saying that Zhou Yu was killed by Zhuge Liang, and posterity understands the story of the Three Kingdoms, most of which is through the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and many readers think that Zhuge Liang died Zhou Yu.
