What kind of person is Zhou Yu in the fifth grade?

According to historical records, Wu Shu and Zhou were born in Lujiang County (now Shucheng, Anhui Province). He is tall and strong, handsome and handsome. He was born in 175, six years older than Zhuge Liang, and entered the political career much earlier than Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain at the age of 26, and Zhou Yu entered the ranks of military horses in his early 20 s.

In the second year of Han Xingping (AD 195), Sun Ce took Jiangdong as an excuse, and Zhou Yu, under the leadership of his uncle Danyang (now Xuancheng, Anhui Province), helped Sun Ce cross the river and defeated Liu You, the then Yangzhou secretariat, which played an important role in pacifying Jiangdong in Sun Ce. Zhou Yu was 2 1 year-old. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were in the same year. As early as Sun Ce's father Sun Jian began to beg Dong Zhuo to move to Shu County, Zhou Yu once vacated a big house for Sun Ce to live in. They have a very deep friendship. So when Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu went to help, and Sun Ce was very happy about it. He told Zhou Yu that he could get your help and his career would be successful.

After Sun Ce defeated Liu You, there were tens of thousands of troops. He thought it was no longer a problem to pacify Wu Jun and Huiji County, so he sent Zhou Yu back to defend Danyang with his uncle. Soon, Yuan Shu sent his cousin to replace Zhou Yu as the governor of Danyang, and Zhou Yu and his uncle came to Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province). Shouchun was the home of Yuan Shu, the great warlord who occupied Jianghuai at that time. Yuan Shu took a fancy to Zhou Yu and wanted to appoint Zhou Yu as the Ministry. Zhou Yu thought that Yuan Shu would not achieve much, so he left Shouchun for an excuse and returned to Wu Sunjun Ce in the third year of Jian 'an (AD 198). Sun Ce personally greeted him and awarded him the post of corps commander. At that time, Sun Ce himself was just a general, and this corps commander was privately appointed by Sun Ce, ranking second only to the general. Zhou Yu was 24 years old then.

As soon as the young man Zhou Yu arrived in Wu Dong, he was appointed as a corps commander, and Wu soldiers called him Zhou Lang. Sun Ce sent Zhou Yu to Niuzhu, an important ferry in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (located in the north of dangtu county, Anhui Province, also known as quarrying), and later served as the county magistrate of Chungu (now southwest of Fanchang County, Anhui Province). Soon, Sun Ce wanted to seize Jingzhou, and appointed Zhou Yu as the central guard (both military commanders as important as the central leaders) and concurrently served as Jiangxia prefect (in fact, Jiangxia County was owned by Liu Biao at this time, and Sun Ce appointed Zhou Yu to seek Jiangxia to take Jingzhou). Zhou Yu took Jingzhou with Sun Ce, conquered Anhui County (now Qianshan County, Anhui Province), and got two daughters of Gong Qiao, a minister at the end of the Han Dynasty. Gong Qiao and Gongqiao are both beautiful and have the appearance of cities. Sun Ce married the bridge herself, and Zhou Yu married the bridge. Then he captured Xunyang (now southwest of Huangmei County, Hubei Province) and asked Jiangxia County, but failed. When he returned to the army, Zhang Yu (now Nanchang, Jiangxi Province) and Luling (Sun Ce was separated from Zhang Yu County (now southwest of Ji 'an, Jiangxi Province) settled down in the south, and Zhou Yu stayed behind to guard Baqiu in Luling County (now Xiajiang County, north of Ji 'an City).

From the second year of Emperor Xingping (195) to the fifth year of Jian 'an (200), before Sun Ce was stabbed to death, Zhou Yu made great contributions at the beginning of the warlord scuffle at the end of Han Dynasty and became the first hero to help Sun Ce lay the foundation of Jiangdong. At that time, there were six counties in Sun Ce: Danyang, Wu, Huiji, Lujiang, Luling. Among them, only when Wu Jun and Hui Ji were taken, Zhou Yu didn't attend, but he also contributed, because if he hadn't helped Sun Ce cross the river and defeated Liu You, Wu Jun and Hui Ji, the secretariat of Yangzhou, wouldn't have earned it for Sun Ce. There are so many critics of Battle of Red Cliffs that I don't want to talk about it any more. It is necessary to add a historical material that has never been quoted. The book Taiping Yu Lan quoted 868 volumes of Heroes as saying: "Zhou Yuxia is in Zhenjiang, and Cao Cao wants to cross the river from Chibi to the south. Without a boat, he took a book down the Hanshui River to Pukou. Before crossing the river, the emissary lit a boat at night, took hundreds of boats, tugged 50 people, and the rest held torches. Several people holding fire stood on the boat and extracted from the book. If you want to start a fire, the fire will burn and go back to the boat. In an instant, thousands of books were burned. When the fire starts, it shines in the sky, and Cao Cao walks at night. " Hero has high historical value, so we should pay attention to two points. The first point is that Cao Cao crossed the river "without a boat" and only brought a kind of bamboo raft-"book". The so-called "Liu Biao manages the water army, Meng Chong fights the boat, relying on the number of cadres, but he has learned to drift with the current", which belongs to the rhetoric of Cao Cao's water army strength. In fact, Liu Biao's original ship was not used. The second point is that Zhou Yu personally presided over the burning of Cao Jun's "book", and there is no story of Huang Gai's false surrender. This problem needs further study in the future.

Battle of Red Cliffs was Zhou Yu's victory against Cao Cao. The strength of military strength does not depend entirely on the number of soldiers, but mainly on Cao Jun's insurmountable weakness, which Zhou Yu has long understood. It should be said that at the time of Zhou Yu's decision, the war had already seen the dawn of victory. Zhou Yu is a great strategist.

Zhou Baiquan, a native of Nanjing, is the 63rd generation grandson of Zhou Yu, a famous star of the Three Kingdoms. He has been studying the genealogy left by his ancestors, trying to find out whether his Zhou family in Nanjing is the descendant of Zhou Yu, a famous star in the Three Kingdoms. Recently, Zhou Baiquan discovered in Ji 'an, Jiangxi, a set of four copies of the genealogy of the Zhou family in Wudong, which was renewed for the fifth time by the descendants of Zhou Yu, a famous star of the Three Kingdoms.

This genealogy not only proves that Zhou Baiquan's Nanjing Zhou family is indeed a direct descendant of Zhou Yu, but also reveals the reason why Zhou Yu was vilified in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. "Luo Guanzhong was jealous of Zhou Yu's descendants before he spoofed him." "Borrowing an arrow from a straw boat" is actually Zhou Yu's coup. Zhou Baiquan showed the reporter the Zhou Pu of Zhou Family in Xishan collected at home. According to Zhou Puyuan's records, Zhou Yu in history should be a wizard who "succeeded in Ying Da, saved his military achievements and learned something". He is six years older than Zhu Geliang. It was Zhou Yu's idea that Battle of Red Cliffs and Cao Chuan borrowed arrows.

According to historical records, Zhou Yu was an open-minded, ingenious and extraordinary general. And in history, Zhou Yu's name has always been praised. The most famous should be Su Shi's Nian Nu Jiao? Nostalgia for the Red Cliff ",in which" When I think of Gong Jin, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, with a pistol and a black scarf, and the laughter disappeared without a trace ... "It can be seen that Su Shi deeply admired Zhou Yu's heroism and strategy.

But why did General Wu Dong, who was so handsome, become a jealous and narrow-minded person in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and die in a rage by Zhuge Liang?

"spoof" is because future generations are jealous.

Zhou Baiquan told reporters that Luo Guanzhong's portrayal of Zhou Yu as "narrow-minded and jealous of talents" can definitely be regarded as an eternal injustice. "The above materials also prove this. Moreover, according to the newly discovered genealogy of Wu Dong, Zhou Yu was poisoned by an arrow while fighting Cao Renjun, a general of Cao Cao, in Nanjun (near Hefei, Anhui), and died of serious injuries a year later. It has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang. Luo Guanzhong wrote this for a reason. "

From this genealogy, we found the answer. It turns out that Zhou Yu has two sons. Zhou Xun, the eldest son, had Zhou Yu's demeanor, but Zhou Xun died young. Zhou Yin, the second son of Zhou Yu, was sent to Luling County (now Ji 'an Wudong, Jiangxi Province) at that time because his words violated Sun Quan. In luling county, he was once down and out, and was accepted as a son-in-law by an old local member named Luo (that is, the ancestor of Luo Guanzhong). After the two families became in-laws, they were handed down from generation to generation until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. The Zhou family is a generation, and the Luo family is a generation of Luo Guanzhong.

"Luo Guanzhong failed every imperial examination, and Zhou Yu's offspring Xu Zhou wanted to be the top scholar, and Luo Guanzhong was unconvinced. Later, Luo Guanzhong went to Taiyuan, Shanxi Province with his father to do salt business, and often went to the teahouse to listen to the Three Kingdoms Opera. At that time, the operas of the Three Kingdoms were mainly based on Liu's surname, and later generations transferred all the credit of Zhou Yu to Zhuge Liang. Luo Guanzhong pricked up his ears and found it interesting. He adapted what he usually heard and wrote The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Not only did he not rehabilitate Zhou Yu, the ancestor of Zhou surname who was related to him by blood, but he also made an exaggerated creation to spoof Zhou Yu in order to achieve the purpose of derogating from Zhou Xu, a Ming Dynasty scholar who took the imperial examination at the same time. "

The historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms has played a very important role in the popularization of the history and culture of the Three Kingdoms, but its description of three falsehoods and seven realities has also puzzled many readers to understand the historical truth. To understand history, you must read the official history. Of course, those who like novels are another matter! ! ! ! !
