Liu Bei once commented on Zhou Yu: "Gongjin is a man of civil and military strategy, a hero of ten thousand people", which is a little good in the official history, unlike Guo Jia and Pang Tong, who also died early, Zhou Yu's own talent may even be higher than his reputation in later generations.

In terms of strategy, Zhou Yu can be said to be no worse than Xun You, Zhuge Liang and others, and in military affairs, Zhou Yu is the only one of the main generals in the history of the Three Kingdoms who holds a record of total victories. (Note 1)

【Strategist】

In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Cao Cao asked Sun Quan to proton, and the ministers at that time had different opinions, and Zhang Zhao, Qin Song and other important ministers also hesitated again and again and could not decide. At this time, it was Zhou Yu who urged Sun Quan to refuse Cao Cao's request and maintain his independence.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), after Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, he was ready to invade Jiangdong down the river.

After that, Zhou Yu proposed to Sun Quan to put Liu Bei under house arrest and take the opportunity to seize Liu Bei's army and power, but this matter was opposed by Lu Su, and Sun Quan also felt that the risk was too high, so he gave up. On the whole, Zhou Yu's proposal has high risk and high return, while Lu Su advocates being safe, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su can't talk about who is right and who is wrong.

In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Zhou Yu proposed to Sun Quan to attack Yizhou, when Zhou Yu planned to occupy the south of the Yangtze River, and then united with Ma Chao and others to fight against Cao Cao, which was to "divide the world into two".

Zhou Yu's proposal coincided with Zhang Hong's "Jiangdu pair" proposed to Sun Ce and Lu Su's "couch pair" to Sun Quan, and it was also one of the ultimate goals of Sun Wu Group.

Zhou Yu is actually not a strategist in the Soochow Group, so he puts forward relatively few opinions, but he has a great influence, and in history, Zhou Yu is closer to the executor of the Sun-Wu Group than the planner.

【Commander of Total Victory】

Zhou Yu has never tasted defeat in the history of the Three Kingdoms, whether he is a general or a commander, and is the only one in that era who is truly victorious.

When Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce, he was one of the generals under Sun Ce, because Sun Ce was only abused by bandits once when he first debuted, and then won a hundred battles, so Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce's side, and naturally he never lost a defeat.

In the second year of Xingping (195), Sun Ce led the army to the south, Zhou Yu came to help, they first conquered the Hengjiang River and Dangli, and then crossed the river with their divisions, attacked Moling, defeated Zhenrong and Xue Li, and then captured Huyi and Jiangcheng, entered Qu'a and finally succeeded in forcing Liu Xuan away, and won the war.

Later, Zhou Yu returned to the north, and three years later, he went south again to seek refuge with Sun Ce, and was entrusted with an important task by Sun Ce. Later, Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce to attack Jiangxia, and on the way turned to attack Wancheng, Kezhi, and then attacked Xunyang, defeated Liu Xun, and then fought Jiangxia, defeated Huang Zu, and returned to pacify Yuzhang.

After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and Zhou Yu began his career of leading troops alone, and he also began to transform from a general to a commander.

In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206), Zhou Yu led Sun Yu and others to crusade against Ma and Bao Ertun, beheaded their leaders, and captured more than 10,000 people. Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu sent Deng Long to attack Chaisang with thousands of men, and Zhou Yu led the army to counterattack, defeating the incoming enemy and capturing Deng Long.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Zhou Yu first followed Sun Quan to defeat Jiangxia Huangzu and won a great victory, and then led 40,000 to 50,000 Sun-Liu coalition troops to launch a decisive battle with Cao Cao in Chibi.

The following year, Zhou Yu led his army up the Yangtze River to attack Jiangling, which was garrisoned by Cao Ren, the general of Cao Wei. Zhou Yu first sent Gan Ning to occupy Yiling, and after Yiling was surrounded by Cao Ren, Zhou Yu took Lü Meng's advice and led his army to lift the siege of Gan Ning and defeat the enemy. Later, Zhou Yu surrounded Jiangling and personally supervised the battle to boost morale. After being wounded, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he rose up even more, inspected the battalions, encouraged the soldiers to kill the enemy, and finally succeeded in forcing Cao Ren back.

It's a pity that Zhou Yu was later preparing to go to Yizhou, but unfortunately died on the way.

Zhou Yu was a general in the Sun Ce period, followed Sun Ce to attack everything, was a commander in the Sun Quan period, led the army to be invincible, if it wasn't for Zhou Yu's premature death, Zhou Yu was very likely to defeat Yizhou in history, so Sun Quan and Cao Cao would be divided into rivers and ruled, and the situation of three parts of the world is estimated to not appear.

【Interpersonal Relationships】

In history, Zhou Yu was magnanimous, and only Cheng Pu was not on good terms with him. According to the "Biography of Jiang Biao", Cheng Pu thought that he was old and often insulted Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu didn't think so, lowered his identity, and never cared about him, and later Cheng Pu admired and obeyed him, and said to others: "Socializing with Zhou Gongjin is like drinking fine wine, and you get drunk before you know it." ”

In addition, although there are many records between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Both Shengyu and He Shengliang!" The story is well known to passers-by, but in the official history, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang did not have much intersection, although Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were somewhat similar in their respective groups, but when Zhou Yu was alive, the power of Sun Quan's group was far stronger than Liu Bei's, and Zhou Yu himself was famous all over the world because of the Battle of Chibi, and Zhuge Liang at that time was far inferior to Zhou Yu to be honest.

[The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu]

It is said that Zhou Yu was proficient in music when he was young, and even after drinking three glasses of wine, he could detect the slightest mistake of the player, and immediately turned his head to look at the person who made the mistake. Because Zhou Lang is handsome, he has a unique style after drinking. At that time, most of the players were women, and in order to get him to take a closer look, they often even deliberately played the music misplayed.

【Posterity】

Zhou Yu had two boys and one girl. The daughter Xu married the crown prince Sun Deng. His son Zhou Xun married the princess and was appointed as a lieutenant of the cavalry, with the temperament and demeanor of Zhou Yu, but he died at a young age.

Zhou Yu's second son is Zhou Yin, the first lieutenant of Xingye, married a royal girl, led a thousand soldiers, stationed in public security, and was later named the marquis of the capital. However, later Zhou Yin relied on these, indulged in wine, and did whatever he wanted, and was finally ordered by Sun Quan to move to Luling County, where he died of illness.
