Zhou Yu (A.D. 175- A.D. 2 10) was born in Shu County of Lujiang (now southwest of Lujiang County, Anhui Province) and was a famous soldier in the late Han Dynasty. Luo Yang, the son of Zhouyi, is strong in appearance and elegant in temperament. There is a saying in Jiangdong that "Zhou Lang cares about Song Cuo". Zhou Yu and Sun Ce made fewer friends. Since 2 1 year-old, he went to the battlefield with Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong. After the assassination of Sun Ce, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne. Zhou Yu sent soldiers to the funeral, and he and Zhang Zhao, who have a long history, were in charge of everything as China guards.
Zhou Yu was born in the gentry, and his grandfather Zhou Jing and uncle Zhou Zhong served as Han Taiwei. His father, Zhou Yi, served as Luoyang Order. Zhou Yu himself is tall, handsome and ambitious. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are the same age and have close contacts.
In the first year of Chuping (190), when Sun Jian fought for Dong Zhuo, his family moved to Shu County. Zhou Yu let the Sun family live in a big house in Lunan, and went to church to meet Sun Ce's mother. The two families made friends. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce made friends with Jiangnan celebrities here, and they have a good reputation.
In the third year of Jian 'an (198), Zhou Yu returned to Wu Jun (now Suzhou, Jiangsu) by building a nest to attract phoenix. When Sun Ce heard that Zhou Yu had returned, he personally made Zhou a corps commander, with 2,000 troops and 50 horses. In addition, Sun Ce also gave Zhou Yuan an advocacy band to build a house for Zhou Yu, which was unparalleled in generosity. Sun Ce also said in the order issued: "Zhou Gongjin is brilliant and talented, with the same angle as me, and is a close relative of the same flesh and blood. When I was in Danyang, he led troops and sent ships' food to help me, which made me accomplish great things and rewarded me with merits. Today's return is far from repaying his support at a critical moment! " Zhou Yu was 24 years old, and Wu soldiers called him Zhou Lang.
In April, 200, the fifth year of Jian 'an, Sun Ce was assassinated at the age of 26. On his deathbed, he entrusted military affairs to Sun Quan. At that time, Sun Quan only had several counties, such as Huiji, Wu Jun, Danyang, Zhang Yu and Luling, and its remote and dangerous places were not completely attached. Heroes in the world are scattered in various counties, and they have not established an interdependent relationship with Sun Shi.
At the critical moment, the first people who supported Sun Quan were Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lv Fan, Cheng Pu and others. Zhou Yu led the troops from other places to attend the funeral and stayed with Wu Jun Sun Quan as a central defender. Armed to the teeth, he treated Sun Quan with the courtesy of monarch and minister, and took charge of the military and political affairs together with Zhang Zhao, with a long history.
In the 13th year of Jian 'an (208), Zhou Yu led the army of Jiangdong Sun's Group to unite with Liu Bei's army, and Battle of Red Cliffs was defeated, thus laying the foundation for a three-point world.
What is the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan?
Zhou Yu has a good relationship with Sun Quan's brother Sun Ce. Mrs. Wu ordered Sun Quan to serve Zhou Yu like a brother. After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan was worshipped as a general. At that time, the etiquette of the guests was still very simple. Only Zhou Yu is the most respectful and carries out the etiquette of ministers. Cao Cao ordered Sun Quan to deliver the quality, and Sun Quan took Zhou Yu to discuss with Mrs. Wu alone.
Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhang Zhao and others supported Cao Cao's surrender. Only Zhou Yu and Lu Su agreed with Sun Quan and were determined to fight against Cao Cao. Sun Quan sighed: "God gave you to me." He also entrusted Zhou Yu to take his own private soldiers against Cao Cao. Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan to lobby Sun Quan, and Liu Bei also distanced himself from Sun Quan, calling Zhou Yu a "minister soon", but the relationship between them never wavered. Sun Quan spoke highly of Zhou Yu's ability to play Wang Zuo.
How did Zhou Yu finally die?
In the fifteenth year of Jian 'an (2 10), Sun Quan approved Zhou Yu's plan to conquer Yizhou, but Zhou Yu fell seriously ill on his way back to Jiangling, where he was stationed, and prepared to go out to war, and finally died in Baqiu at the age of 36 [25]. Sun Quan shouted: "Gong Jin was given by Wang Zuo, but his life span is very short. What can I rely on? " And personally put on mourning for Zhou Yu and walked around. When Zhou Yu's coffin was transported back to Wu Jun, Sun Quan personally went to Wuhu to meet him, and all funeral expenses were borne by the state. [8] After the sun rose, he said to Gong Qing, "Without Gong Jin, I can't be an emperor."
