How did Zhou Yu (Zhou Gongjin) die in Three Kingdoms? Don't tell me that Zhuge Liang was so angry.

The most unlikely cause of Zhou Yu's death is being "angry to death", because anger will not kill anyone. Unless emotional excitement causes cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, acute heart disease, or genetic disease complication syndrome (excluding malignant tumors), sudden death will never be due to "angry death". This can be divided into active death or accidental death, which will be discussed in detail below. The aspect of being surrounded and forced to death first starts with the active force to death. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes Zhou Yu in the Three Qi of Zhou Yu. When Zhou Yu attacked Jingzhou City, he was blocked by the defender Zhao Yun and was chased by the four ambushed troops of Wei and Yan. He died out of anger. Unfortunately, he fell off his horse and had to retreat. Finally, he was urged to do so by Kong Ming Xiu Shu, but because the weapon could not accommodate people, he sighed and "died after screaming several times." Or in "Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu led an army of 50,000 people, but Liu Bei and Kong Ming blocked the way with 10,000 people, and Zhang Fei used 10,000 people to seize the back road. Zhou Yu advanced and retreated in embarrassment, and fled to Baqiu. He couldn't eat or drink, his head and face were swollen," and finally he "could not bear the disease" and died. These records all show that Zhou Yu's march was stalled and he was blocked by people, which caused illness. However, Liu Bei had just married Sun Quan's sister and was in the honeymoon period, so he would not go to war to attack Zhou Yu. Suffering an illness on the way "Three Kingdoms". Wu Shu. "The Biography of Zhou Yu": "(Zhou) Yu returned to Jiangling to prepare his luggage, but died of illness in Baqiu." It is clearly stated that the cause of death was "died of illness on the way." According to Sun Quan's policy, Zhou Yu was appointed the governor of Nanjun and settled in Jiangling. Zhou Yu had gone to Beijing to see Sun Quan's proposal to seize Shu. Therefore, the geographical location from east to west was Wujun, Baqiu, and Jiangling. After Zhou Yu left Sun Quan, he passed by Dongting Lake. Baqiu died halfway before reaching Jiangling, his territory. This is the simplest and most reasonable cause of death. Zhou Yu died of illness. Comparison of the military strength of the two sides. If calculated before the Chibi War, Liu Bei had more than 20,000 troops. However, after the war, Liu Bei's armed forces controlled the four counties of Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling, all located south of the Yangtze River. Coupled with the defection of tens of thousands of people from Lei Xu, Liu Bei plus the original Jiangxia County, Liu Bei owned five counties in the land, with more than tens of thousands of soldiers, almost on par with Sun Quan. At Red Cliff, Zhou Yu only led 10,000 people (the other 10,000 were led by Cheng Pu), and the tribe handed over to Lu Su before his death was left with more than 4,000 people. Zhou Yu still returned to Beijing to propose an edict to Sun Quan, so he would not lead too many armed forces. Troops, the main force should be retained in Jiangling. One is traveling lightly, and the other is having many soldiers and a vast territory. It is not surprising to launch a surprise attack no matter when and where. The incident happened in Baqiu. Baqiu is a good military point. If Liu Bei attacks Zhou Yu, he will bully Zhou Yu because of his small number of soldiers. Secondly, he can attack Jiangling. Liu Bei can easily capture the empty city without a commander. However, Liu Bei betrayed his alliance with Sun Quan because of this, and Sun Quan might lead his troops to take revenge. Liu Bei had to think carefully. Later, although Lu Su offered Jiangling to Liu Bei in terms of diplomatic peace talks, it does not rule out that Liu Bei had already prepared to change the city through negotiation. Liu Bei also owned Jiangxia County (Liu Qi's old headquarters) at that time, which could be used as a bargaining chip in exchange. The best way to use troops is to attack the city. This is also the biggest threat to Zhou Yu's attempt to seize Shu. A mantis stalks a cicada, and the most fearful thing is an oriole behind. Zhou Yu only cares about Liu Zhang in Yizhou and forgets that Liu Bei is behind. If Zhou Yu succeeds, Liu Bei's betrayal will be extremely fatal, but Refer to the historical example of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition to Xiangfan and Lu Meng's sneak attack to seize the capital. Discussion of Accidental Death Let’s start with the discussion of accidental death. There are many factors involved in spontaneous and unforced deaths, but they are not difficult to compare. It is most unlikely that he would die if he was not acclimatized to the soil and water. Zhou Yu was good at naval warfare. When he went to Beijing, Sun Quan and Jiangling station also traveled east and west by boat. It did not consume any more physical strength than walking on land. To say that Zhou Yu was seasick on the river or suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, he was not used to it. The possibility of death due to boating is extremely rare. Moreover, Baqiu is still east of Jiangling. It would be a big joke if Zhou Yu could not adapt to the climate of Baqiu in the Yangtze River Basin and Jiangling where he had fought hard for more than 10 years. Because the Battle of Chibi is known as Cao's army's acclimatization, if Zhou Yu's army is also acclimatized, the Battle of Chibi will not have any issues with the terrain or the abandonment of horses. To be infected with infectious diseases such as plague or miasma, you generally have to go deep into the southwest area. There is no plague everywhere between Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake. Otherwise, in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao and Zhou Yu would have had equal chances of contracting the disease. That Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were lucky enough to win the battle. They all expected the other to get sick and die. Catching a cold will not kill you, nor will eating a bad stomach for a while. You will die from a sudden illness, unless it is a strong virus like the Black Death. Relapse of Old Wounds Regardless of what "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said: "The arrows and spears split again and fell under the horse.

"Or "Three Kingdoms Zhipinghua" said: "Zhou Yu finished speaking, and the golden sore was broken." This refers to the fact that Zhou Yu was injured by an arrow when he besieged Nanjun. He failed to recover afterwards, or he had tetanus, or the arrow cluster was poisoned. Caused by rheumatic or bronchial lesions. If there is another accident, even a small situation like choking on drinking water, the old disease can relapse and lead to death. This possibility cannot be ruled out. A minor illness that is not harmful can turn into a serious and fatal illness if accumulated too much. "Jiang Biao Zhuan" in Zhou Yu's will states: "Dao was seriously ill, and he treated himself yesterday, and there is no damage every day." It means that Zhou Yu once contracted a sudden illness and treated himself, but he said to Sun Quan: "There is death in life, and repairing it will shorten your life. It is not pity to be sincere. But I hate that my ambition has not been fulfilled, and I will no longer follow the teachings." Wanxi, whose ambition was not fulfilled, also told Lu Su about the future. It seems that Zhou Yu knew that the passing of time was unfavorable, and he was somewhat generous in his righteousness. Being able to recover quickly in the face of disease can confirm that it is not an acute infectious disease and will not cause death at the first smell of poisonous gas. However, it revealed disappointing news, which shows that the condition must be very serious, or perhaps Sun Quan's previous words of claiming to be fine were just polite, but in fact Zhou Yu was seriously ill
