Zhou Yu should be regarded as a very important figure in the military circle of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.

Zhou Yu has been friends with Sun Ce since he was a child. and Sun Quan's elder brother Sun Ce, joined forces to fight for many years and pacified Jiangdong. The foundation of Soochow was established, and the fame was known all over the world.

Later, Zhou Yu led his army to unite with Liu Bei and defeated Cao's army in the Battle of Chibi.

Zhou Yu made indelible contributions to the Soochow regime.

And such a personable prodigal son. But he died in his thirties. It's really sighing.

So how did Zhou Yu die? What is the difference between the official history and "Romance"?

About Zhou Yu's death. There are different versions of the official history and "Romance".

Everyone should know that "Romance" said that Zhou Yu was angry with Zhuge Liang.

But the canonical history is different. The official history says that Zhou Yu died of natural illness.

So how did Zhou Yu die?

Let's take a look at this question from the canonical history.

When Zhou Yu died, he was only thirty-six years old. Where to die? The answer is Bachu. So how did Zhou Yu die?

Let's talk about it little by little.

When Liu Zhang was serving as the pastor of Yizhou, he was violated by Zhang Lu.

Zhou Yu has been advising Sun Quan since the Red Cliff War. This time, Zhou Yu saw the right time. He is also ready to offer advice to Sun Quan.

This time, Zhou Yu made a special trip to see Sun Quan. Request for an order to crusade against the Bashu region. You can send troops from Xiangyang to attack Cao Cao, and maybe you can also get the northern region. Sun Quan felt feasible and agreed to his strategy.

Sun Quan persuaded Liu Bei to send troops to attack the Bashu region, and Liu Bei listened to the advice of his subordinates. He replied to Sun Quan: "I agree with the strategy of crusading against the land of Bashu together. But my territory has just been established, and I don't have troops to come out yet! ”

At this time, Zhou Yu rushed back to Jiangling to deploy the attack on Bashu, and died of illness in Baqiu at the age of thirty-six.

After Zhou Yu's death, after Sun Quan found out, he heard it and cried: "Gongjin has the capital of Wang Zuo, but his life is short, what else can I rely on?" So Sun Quan personally put on mourning clothes to mourn for Zhou Yu, and was moved. When Zhou Yu's coffin was transported back to Wu County, Sun Quan went to Wuhu to greet him in person, and all the funeral expenses were borne by the state. After Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, he said to Gongqing: "If there is no Gongjin, I can't be the emperor." ”

Previously, Sun Quan appointed Zhou Yu as a partial general. He also served as the Taishou of Nanjun. And let him garrison in Gangneung.

After the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu offered Sun Quan a plan to put Liu Bei under house arrest and directly manage the army subordinates of Liu Bei's camp, but Sun Quan thought that Cao Cao still needed to be contained in the north, and that Liu Bei was afraid that it would be difficult to control, so he did not adopt it.

The author personally believes that Zhou Yu's death is related to his mood. In addition, he was hit by a poisoned arrow (stray arrow) when he was fighting Cao Ren before. In this way, Zhou Yu was a double blow both mentally and physically. Zhou Yu fell seriously ill and died at the age of thirty-six.

So what is Zhou Yu's mood like? The author analyzes it, and there are mainly the following reasons.

The first point is that Zhou Yu should have made the first contribution in the Battle of Chibi. This is recognized in official history. Maybe it's because of the rendering of "Romance". said that Zhuge Liang had a lot of credit. It's all made up. In the official history, Zhou Yu is indeed one of the greatest contributors. However, later, it may be because of the Red Cliff War. Zhou Yu worked hard. Exhausted. laid the groundwork for his later illness and death.

The second point, which I think is that Soochow did not take advantage of it after the victory in the Battle of Chibi. On the contrary, Liu Bei and others took a big advantage. This made Zhou Yu also feel heavy. In addition, there is a lot of defensive pressure on the side of Nanjun. It made Zhou Yu's mind tired.

The third point. Zhou Yu later gave Sun Quan a lot of suggestions that were beneficial to Soochow. And Sun Quan did not adopt it.

Zhou Yu hated Liu Bei, while Sun Quan was waiting. This made Zhou Yu even more anxious. In the end, he could only die of illness in Baqiu.

This is the emotional reason for the author's analysis. Physically, Zhou Yu was hit by a stray arrow in the shoulder, and he became seriously ill and lay in bed all day to recuperate.

It is said that the arrows of the Three Kingdoms period all contain some poisons, and if they are hit, their lives are in danger.

What's more, is this the Metropolitan Governor of Zhou Yu?

This is the death of Zhou Yu recorded in the official history.

So what does Zhou Yu's death say in "Romance"?

In "Romance", Zhuge Liang has attacked Zhou Yu many times. Like we all know. Zhuge Liang intellectually provoked Zhou Yu, and angry Zhou Gongjin three times or something.

That Zhuge Liang is bad enough. Who made him have such a high IQ?

In "Romance", Zhou Yu wanted to kill Zhuge Liang because he was jealous of his personal talent, and finally Zhuge Liang left peacefully. The whole historical script of a cat and a mouse.

This angered Zhou Yu even more. Later, it was Zhou Yu's death.

So what does the script on "Romance" of "The Death of Zhou Yu" look like?

That makes the author take his time.

Since the last time "Romance" told the story of Zhou Yu "losing his wife and breaking his army", Zhou Yu was angry and fainted on the spot.

After Zhou Yu woke up later, he wrote to Sun Quan to raise troops to capture Jingzhou. However, Zhang Zhao and other advisers advised that not only could they not fight with Liu Bei, but also showed Liu Bei as the pastor of Jingzhou, so that Cao Cao and Liu Bei could attack each other, and Eastern Wu would wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Sun Quan thought that this was a great good, so he sent Hua Xin to Xudu.

Cao Cao saw the seal presented by Hua Xin, and saw through the strategy of Eastern Wu, so he agreed with the strategists and decided to use the strategy to make Sun and Liu kill each other. So Cao Cao watched Zhou Yu as the Nanjun Taishou, Cheng Pu as the Jiangxia Taishou, and Hua Xin as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

After Zhou Yu took office as the Taishou of Nanjun, he wanted to get Jingzhou back more and more, so he sent Lu Su to ask for it. Lu Su came to see Liu Bei and explained his intentions, but Liu Bei cried loudly, saying that he would have no place to live after returning Jingzhou. When Lu Su saw Liu Bei crying so sadly, he relented, so he had to go back to Zhou Yu and postpone his return to Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu was later unwilling, and thought of a false plan to defeat him, and said to Lu Su: "You go to see Liu Bei again, and say that Dongwu will take Xichuan and give it to him in exchange for returning to Jingzhou." At that time, I will take Jingzhou on the pretext of taking Xichuan, Liu Bei will definitely not be guarded, and we can take the opportunity to take Jingzhou. ”

Lu Su came to Jingzhou again, saying that Zhou Yu would lead his troops to capture Xichuan in exchange for Jingzhou, and when the sergeant passed through Jingzhou, he also hoped that Uncle Liu Huang would be able to fund grain and grass. Liu Bei listened, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for Wu Hou's kindness!" When the male master arrives, he will be rewarded from afar. Lu Su was secretly happy and said goodbye.

At this time, Zhou Yu's arrow wound was close to healing, so he personally led an army of 50,000 to Jingzhou. It's almost time to get to Jingzhou. Zhou Yu and the others saw two white flags planted in the city, and there was no one. Zhou Yu ordered the ship to dock and led 3,000 cavalry to the city, and when he saw that there was still no movement, he ordered the soldiers to call the door.

At this time, there was a sudden bang, and I saw Zhao Yun shouting on the city tower: "The military advisor has known the governor's plan, leave me here to wait." "Tanma came to report again, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan led the four soldiers and horses to kill from all sides. Zhou Yu screamed, the old sores cracked, and he fell under the horse.

So, the subordinates took Zhou Yu back to the boat, and reported that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were drinking and having fun on the top of the mountain in front, Zhou Yu was even more angry, gritted his teeth and said: "I will definitely take down Xichuan to show you!" So he ordered the fleet to go up, and when he arrived at Baqiu, the spies came to report: Liu Feng and Guan Ping led the army to intercept the waterway.

Zhou Yu was about to go to war, but reported that Zhuge Liang had a letter, saying: If the governor goes to take Xichuan and Cao Cao takes advantage of the void to attack Jiangnan, Jiangnan will not be guaranteed. Zhou Yu read the letter, vomited blood, fainted, and wrote a suicide note after waking up, looking up to the sky and sighing: "Both Shengyu and He Shengliang!" He screamed several times and died at the age of thirty-six.

It can be seen from here that both the official history and "Romance" narrate that Zhou Yu died of illness in Baqiu on the way back. But the reasons are different. According to the official history, Zhou Yu died of illness on the way because of matters related to the attack on Bashu.

"Romance" said that it was because of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. led to the death of Zhou Yu.

Both versions differ.

Even, some comments say that in "Romance", Zhou Yu has always appeared as Zhuge Liang's foil.

Therefore, interested friends can read the 57th chapter of "Romance" more. Zhou Yu's death. This chapter back.

Later, it was said in "Romance". Sun Quan after learning the news of Zhou Yu's death. Sun Quan cried loudly, and then, according to Zhou Yu's will, let Lu Su take over the position of governor.

This is indeed true, and it is also said in the official history that Zhou Yu and Lu Su have a very good relationship and are like brothers. Zhou Yu also took a fancy to Lu Su's ability to speak well and understand human accidents.

Moreover, there are indeed not many talent reserves on the side of Soochow. A metropolitan governor of Eastern Wu is not something that anyone who wants to be can be. Otherwise, how could Sun Ce say to Sun Quan before he died, "Ask Zhou Yu for foreign affairs, and ask Zhang Zhao for internal affairs." "What?

All this can only say two things.

The first point is that Lu Su is suitable for the position of the governor of Eastern Wu. With his qualifications and experience, he is fully qualified for this position.

The second point is that Soochow's talent pool is really not much.

Why is there not much talent pool in Soochow? I don't have to spend much time here. The following will be mentioned.

"Romance" also said. After Zhou Yu's death. Zhuge Liang personally went to Jiangdong to mourn Zhou Yu. And knelt in front of Zhou Yuling to recite the sacrificial text, and fell to the ground and cried. At this time, Lu Su watched from the side. Seeing Zhuge Liang so emotional, he felt that Zhou Yu's measurement was too small to tolerate Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang came to Jiangdong to mourn Zhou Yu, which is indeed not recorded in the official history. The author personally thinks that "Romance" is rendering the plot. The icing on the cake.

Zhou Yu died like this. So what will happen to Soochow? What new content has been added to Liu Bei's plan?

Zhou Yu died, and it was not a pity that Dongwu was there. Liu Bei started a new plan again.
