Liu Bei commented that "Gong Jin's civil and military planning is a great talent of thousands of people." Sun Quan commented: "It is not Zhou Gongjin who is lonely, nor is it the emperor!" Sun Ce commented: "I am Qinghe." Cheng Pu commented: "You won't get drunk if you drink with friends from Zhou Jin's bus." Jiang Gan commented that "the amount of yoga is high, not in the words." Wang Lang commented that "nothing is impossible and the rules are fine."
Later generations also spoke highly of him:
Chen Shou of the Western Jin Dynasty commented that "it is genius to build an arbitrary knowledge and show everyone's appearance." Lu Ji commented: "It is even worse to practice Buddhism." . Ritual fame, Zhang Gong as a hero; Making friends with Yu Haojun, Zhou Yu is outstanding. The two gentlemen are sensitive and curious, elegant and wise, so they are attached to the class with the same party, and the contract is fixed, and Jiangdong Gai makes a toast. In the Qing Dynasty, Li Anxi also wrote in the Collection of the Three Kingdoms, "Zhou Zai. Without Zhou Yu, Cao could not be stopped by himself. Without Xuande, there would be no Wu Er, and Amethyst's plan was not wrong. "
/kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, Zhou Yu chose a friend and helped Sun Ce lay the foundation in his early twenties. At the age of 23, he was a corps commander, and at the age of 25, he was a trusted officer. At the age of 33, he defeated Cao Gong in Chibi and made outstanding achievements in the future. He died from the third year of Jian 'an (198) to the fifteenth year of Jian 'an (2 10).
During his short 12-year military career, he made great achievements for Wu many times. Among them, Chibi soldiers are the most famous. In this World War I, the allied forces of Sun and Wu defeated Cao Cao, which laid the foundation for the tripartite confrontation of Sun Quan. Then Jing Xiang was captured alive, and Jing Xiang was the first of the founding heroes of Soochow.
"Preface to the Praise of Famous Officials in the History of the Three Kingdoms" twice mentioned Zhou Yu's decisive role in the three points: "If you are late, you will get three points in Chibi" and "Outstanding, you will get three points in Chibi". The three lights split and the universe temporarily separated. "
Zhou Yu's military talent was revealed when he was in Sun Ce. Assisting Sun Ce, he was twenty-four years old when he "crossed the river to attack Moling, broke Rong, became familiar with the lake, became a river, and entered Qu". He led the troops non-stop to "seek Yang, defeat, win Jiangxia, and command Luling to keep Baqiu Town. "Wherever he goes, the defenders are afraid.
In the winter of the 13th year of Jian 'an (AD 208), Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of troops south, and the famous Battle of Red Cliffs broke out. According to the description of Battle of Red Cliffs in Zi Jian and The History of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu was the planner and commander in chief of this campaign, not Zhuge Liang. If Zhou Yu has a good command in this battle, he will have the ability to know himself and know each other and win every battle.
First of all, the civil servants headed by Zhang Zhao surrendered, and they raised three major questions with fear of the enemy: first, Cao relied on the emperor to make the princes, levy all directions, refuse justice, and it was not smooth. Being the first to remonstrate with Yuan Shao shows that Xun Wenruo's policy of welcoming Xu in the Imperial Capital of Han Dynasty played a certain role in the minds of ordinary people at that time. Second, Jingzhou, Cao De, the Yangtze River has always been with me. Third, outnumbered. Judging from the terrain and strength, it is not easy to refute according to the facts.
Zhou Yu first proposed that it was not China who was fucking a thief in China, and refuted the first question. The northern army didn't learn to fight in water. Although risking Liu Biao's warships and the Yangtze River, it can't be used to solve its second problem. Take "150,000 soldiers who are tired and sick, and 70,000 to 80,000 suspicious people". Although the number of soldiers is insufficient, the third question is broken. Then he pointed out the shortcomings of the other side: "First, Kansai is undecided, and it will not last long, and it will be deadlocked with me. Second, the weather is cold and there is no grass for the horse. Third, the northern army will get sick if it is not acclimatized. In the case of Sun Quan's indecision, his generous speech strengthened Sun Quan's determination to resist Japan.
Secondly, after Wu Jun's first battle with Cao Jun, Zhou Yu approved Huang Gai's plan of "burning Red Cliff" and went into battle lightly. "Zhou Yuyong set fire to 800,000 Cao Jun, and finally won, which laid the foundation of Wu and made him famous all over the world.
There is no doubt that Sun Wu is the vanguard of Battle of Red Cliffs, and the general commander is Zhou Yu. Zhuge Liang, who has always been regarded as a great hero, actually only played a role in strengthening his confidence against Cao, promoting the alliance between Sun and Liu, and cooperating with Wu Jun. Zhou Yu's intelligence not only defeated Cao, but also made Wu rank among the Three Kingdoms.
Zhou Yu's contribution is not only Battle of Red Cliffs, but also the key figure of Sun Wu's founding the country. Sun Quan once said: "Zhou Gongjin is not alone!" Zhou Yu's great contribution is indeed so. He fought with Sun Ce in Jiangdong when he was in the weak crown. Although the historical materials are not very detailed, we can see that Huang Zu won the first place among the generals in the table given to the Eastern Han government in Sun Ce, that is, "Jiangxia Taishou, Zhou Yu, and the corps commander." Sun Ce is Zhou Yu's official residence. He said that "it is not enough to reward people with virtue", which shows Zhou Yu's position and achievements when Sun Ce attacked Jiangdong. It should be said that Zhou Yu was the second person after Sun Ce at the beginning of Sun Wu's founding, and his contribution was self-evident. After Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu "sent troops to the funeral, drove away Wu, and took charge of the state affairs together with China's guards and ambassador Zhang Zhao * * *", which shows that Zhou Yu still played a decisive role in the stability of Sun Wu's regime.
As for governing the country, Zhou Yu advised Sun Quan not to use protons. "In the past, Chu was originally sealed on the Jingshan side, less than a hundred miles. After talents, it is based on Ying, so according to Jingyang, as for, it has been used for more than 900 years. Now the general inherits the surplus capital of his father and brother and is also a member of the six counties. Soldiers have refined food, and soldiers use their lives. The mountain is made of copper and the sea is made of salt. The territory is rich, people don't think about chaos, row and sail, and arrive at night. Scholar is brave and invincible. Why send quality? As soon as the quality enters, you have to be with Cao Shi and get along with him. Then the call of life will go, and it will be sent by people. It's just a moment's notice. There are more than a dozen servants and a few chariots and horses. Is it the same as being alone in the south? It is better not to send it and watch it change. If Cao Shi can lead righteousness with righteousness, it is not bad for military affairs. If the picture is a riot and the soldiers are still on fire, they will not set themselves on fire. The general bravely resists power and waits for destiny, why not send it! " It shows that he not only knows the economy, but also knows politics and diplomacy!
