Recently, an ethical meme about the Three Kingdoms circulated on the Internet, namely, Zhou Yu should be called Xiahou Dun . One is the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong Navy, and the other is the general of the Wei State . Two seemingly irrelevant people have been brought together through extremely complex relationships. What should be the relationship between the two of them?
Zhou Yu's wife is Xiao Qiao , Xiao Qiao's sister is Da Qiao , Da Qiao's husband is Sun Ce , Sun Ce's sister is Sun Shangxiang , Sun Shangxiang's husband is Liu Bei , Liu Bei's son is Liu Chan , Liu Chan's wife is Zhang Fei , Empress Zhang , Empress Zhang's mother is Xiahou family , Xiahou's uncle is Xiahou Yuan , and Xiahou Yuan's brother is Xiahou Dun.
So the two seem to be indisputable, they became relatives without even meeting each other in the Romance. Some people even joke that the Three Kingdoms are not fighting for hegemony, but the whole family is fighting in the nest. Let’s analyze the relationship between the two one by one.
Zhou Yu’s wife is Xiao Qiao, so Xiahou Dun belongs to the woman’s character. And Xiao Qiao's sister is Zhou Yu's sister. Although Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were sworn brothers in the Romance, according to the above statement, Zhou Yu should call Sun Ce brother-in-law, which can be said to be a relative of the relatives, so Sun Ce's sister is Zhou Yu's sister. From this, it can be inferred that Zhou Yu should call Liu Bei "brother-in-law". It is worth noting that the above people are of the same generation.
Liu Bei wandered for half his life, and before the Battle of Chibi, he had only one son, Liu Chan, whose nickname was Adou , which is Zhao Yun , which is the latter leader of Shu Kingdom who was killed by the death. The wife of the Later Lord, Empress Zhang, was the daughter of Zhang Fei, so Zhou Yu should call Empress Zhang the niece here. Empress Zhang's mother, Xiahou, was a woman who Zhang Fei plundered outside the city of Xudu. Who would have thought that this beautiful woman was the niece of Xiahou Yuan, the general of Wei State. In 219 AD, when the Battle of Hanzhong was in , Huang Zhong, adopted the strategy of Fazheng, and slashed Xiahou Yuan with his leisure and waiting, but Xiahou asked for his uncle to wear mourning clothes, which was a very loyal and filial woman.
To sort it out, Zhou Yu called Queen Zhang the niece-in-law, and Queen Zhang's mother Xiahou became a generational figure with Zhou Yu. Xiahou Yuan, the uncle of Xiahou family, is one generation higher than Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu should call Xiahou Yuan an uncle, and Xiahou Yuan's brother Xiahou Dun is one generation higher than Zhou Yu.
Xiahou Dun and Cao Cao died in 220 AD. Cao Cao died of illness at the age of 66. Xiahou Dun was Cao Cao's confidant general since Cao Cao's Chenliu when he started his army. Xiahou Dun was older than Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren , and Cao Hong . He was not much different from Cao Cao, but he regarded himself as his younger brother, so he should be younger than Cao Cao when he died, and was about 64 years old. Zhou Yu died of illness in Baqiu in 210 AD and was only 36 years old. But Xiahou Dun was 54 years old in 210 AD, and Zhou Yu was 18 years old. The ancients got married early, and they usually got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Therefore, Zhou Yu is very likely to call Xiahou Dun uncle.
Summary:
The Three Kingdoms Wei, Shu and Wu compete for hegemony, Cao Cao's strongest strength and strong respect for the world, and claimed to be " Zhou Gong to send blessings to the world and return to his heart." However, in the battle of Red Cliffs, was defeated by Sun and Liu's coalition forces, and later generations, Cao Pi, , also failed many times on the side of , Yangtze River, , so it means that as long as Wu and Shu unite, it is difficult to win by relying solely on , Cao Wei, . As for Sun Quan "Jinmei Guhao", it was also a decision based on the actual situation at that time. As for the relationship between "Zhou Yu and Xiahou Dun", it is also the result of the "straight-handed" between the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu! It’s not about the chaos of relationships, but about the chaos of people’s hearts! Of course, the complex relationships in this also have certain benefits. For example, when Shu Kingdom was destroyed, Zhang Fei's lineage was spared. The big reason was the influence of the Xiahou family in Wei Kingdom!
