In front of me, I told you about the characters from Shu Han and the Great Wei. Today, let me turn my vision to the southeast and talk about the characters from the Eastern Wu, and enter the first great governor of the Eastern Wu: Zhou Lang and Zhou Gongjin.
Character ID: Zhou Yu, whose name is Gongjin,
Life time: Born in 175 AD - Died in 210 AD
Household registration: Shu County, Lujiang, in ancient times, that is, today, a native of southwestern Lujiang County, Anhui Province,
Family background: The son of Zhou Yi, Luoyang, a son of a family of officials,
Appearance: known as a beautiful man in the Three Kingdoms
Literary and military value: outstanding literary talent, proficient in music; commander-in-chief of the Battle of Red Cliff, the first general of the Eastern Wu.
Beautiful man in the Three Kingdoms A close friend worthy of making
Zhou Yu is a recognized handsome guy in the Three Kingdoms. According to "The Three Kingdoms: Book of Wu", "Growing strong and having a good appearance." Zhou Yu is not only tall and handsome, but in modern terms, he is 186 tall + Andy Lau's face + Peng Yuyan's figure. I feel that not to mention that in ancient times or modern times, I am a complete heartthrob. (I looked in the mirror silently, why am I a little different from Zhou Lang). I guess the women in the Eastern Wu dreamed that they were Zhou Lang.
Zhou Yu had a good relationship with Sun Ce when he was young. When Sun Jian (Sun Ce's father) went north to attack Dong Zhuo, Zhou Lang invited Sun Ce to live in his mansion. First, he could take care of each other and protect Sun Ce's family with his own sphere of influence. Second, the two often talked and analyzed the situation in the world, and there was much inconvenience between the two places. When Sun Ce and his family arrived in Shu County, Zhou Lang ordered people to vacate the big house, entertain Sun Ce and visit Sun Ce's mother in person. From this point, we can see that Zhou Lang treats his friends sincerely and fully respects his friends and family. Zhou Lang is definitely worthy of deep friendship. (Who is saying bad things about me, Zhou Gongjin, I'm the first to come out to hit him)
tolerant of people. Extraordinary demeanor
. Is it true that when I say this, everyone will denounce me in the comment section. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu competed with Zhuge Liang everywhere, which was bound to be overwhelming, but the characters in literary works were often far from the images of real history. A historical book commented on Zhou Yu: "Yu has the ability tolerate others, loves talents and respects virtuous people." Cheng Pu, a veteran of the three dynasties of the Eastern Wu, thought he was older than Zhou Yu, bullied Zhou Yu many times, and often discussed Zhou Yu's shortcomings with others. Zhou Yu was humiliated but always had a strict attitude and never cared about him. He was still polite and kind to Cheng Pu. Later, Cheng Pu respected and admired Zhou Yu more and more, and once said to people: "Dating Zhou Gongjin is like drinking fine wine, and he got drunk without realizing it!"
Zhou Yu's mind and demeanor are also reflected in the pursuit of talents. Several of the important officials of the Eastern Wu were recommended to Sun Quan by Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and then recommended Lu Su. These talents have made great contributions to the development and stability of the Eastern Wu. During the period when Sun and Liu jointly fought against Cao, Zhou Yu was attracted by Zhuge Liang's talent. He went to Zhuge Liang's residence to talk late at night. Then he found his brother Zhuge Jin, hoping that his brother would persuade Zhuge Liang to leave Shu Han and jointly assist Sun Quan in the prosperity of Eastern Wu.
In the last period of Zhou Lang's life, Sun Quan and Zhou Lang discussed the candidate for the replacement of the Grand Governor. Zhou Yu insisted that Lu Su, who had disagreements with him, continue to serve as the Grand Governor, and explained to Sun Quan the reasons for his choice. In the end, Sun Quan adopted Zhou Yu's opinion and Lu Su acted as the Grand Governor. Zhou Yu played a huge role in cultivating and promoting talents in Dongwu. Under Zhou Yu's leadership, the ministers of the Eastern Wu followed the style of Zhou Lang. In the later period, each of the Grand Governors of Lu Meng and Lu Xun took Zhou Yu as a benchmark, which shows how important an excellent leader has to influence his subordinates.
The four great commanders of the Eastern Wu
The Battle of Red Cliffs are fully displayed
When it comes to the Battle of Red Cliffs, what everyone talks about must be Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind and borrowing arrows from the straw boat. Among the familiar stories, Zhou Yu, the real leader of the Battle of Red Cliff, is missing. It can be said that Zhou Yu's preparations for mobilization before the Battle of Chibi, the subsequent arrangements of Sun and Liu's generals, and the use of counter-espionage strategies promoted the progress of the entire battle situation. Some people evaluated the achievements of the Battle of Chibi: Zhou Gongjin was the leader.Before the Battle of Chibi, facing the fierce Wei Dynasty, the Eastern Wu was divided into two factions (this subsequent history is surprisingly similar. When facing a strong enemy, whether to fight or surrender, there will always be their own considerations). At that time, Zhou Yu advocated fighting at the beginning. On the one hand, the Eastern Wu had no room for retreat, and the vast sea went south. On the other hand, the battle location was located in the Eastern Wu, which had a advantage in land, and the Eastern Wu naval army had strong combat power. On the other hand, the troops that Cao Cao's naval army temporarily surrendered could not work together, and the Eastern Wu was in harmony. For the mastery of the time, the Eastern Wu, who lives in the south, obviously has more advantages. I personally guess that the so-called Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind was just because the time was the southeast wind season, so it is not ruled out that Zhou Yu's calculations were included.
poignant love story
History says that a talented man is worthy of a beautiful woman, and Zhou Lang is outstanding in talent, so naturally he must have a chosen daughter. In the third year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu married Xiao Qiao, the top beauty in Dongwu, who was a talented man and a beautiful woman, and was a good story for a while. However, after the Battle of Red Cliff, Zhou Yu fell ill (Is God also love for such an extraordinary person?), there are two explanations for Zhou Yu's death after falling ill. The first is that Zhou Yu's old illness recurs and died of illness. Another guess is that Zhou Yu is too bright and Sun Quan is too suspicious, so he secretly takes action.
I personally agree with the first statement. First of all, Zhou Yu was too important to Eastern Wu and had no reason to remove it; second, Zhou Yu had the strength to take power when Sun Ce died, but Zhou Yu carefully assisted Sun Quan, and Eastern Wu grew stronger step by step, which shows that Zhou Yu did not have the intention of being disobedient; third, the Sun family and the Zhou family had already been intertwined, and after Zhou Yu died, they even married (Sun Quan's son Sun Dengping married Zhou Yu's daughter as the crown princess). If Sun Quan really removed Zhou Yu, there was no airtight wall in the world, how could Sun Quan make such arrangements? The crown princess behind would definitely hide and then come out, and we know that Sun Deng and his wife get along harmoniously and hold the same case. After Zhou Yu's death, Xiao Qiao was hidden in history, and this love story was also imprinted in the hearts of his younger generations.
Zhou Yu was born in a family of officials, but he maintained an upward heart, was open and graceful, treated his friends sincerely, and worked hard to manage Dongwu and devoted his youth and blood to the land of Jiangdong. Faced with the danger of the country, stand up and turn the tide. He is truly a heroic figure and a feather fan and a scarf. He is a handsome man who combines talent and beauty and oneness, and has a profound mark in the Three Kingdoms era. The water of the Yangtze River is endless, and the romantic figures of the Three Kingdoms have long gone with the wind. We can only recall history and cherish the present.
