Zhou Yu 周㬂

Zhou Yu was an officer of Yuan Shao and brother of Zhou Ang and Zhou Xing. In 191 A.D. he attacked Sun Jian's camp at Yangcheng. Some historians, such as Sima Guang, believe it was Zhou Ang who attacked Sun Jian, while the Book of the Later Han says it was Zhou Xing. Professor Rafe and Wu lu believe it was Zhou Yu, based on his military career.

Life
When the Guandong Coalition was falling apart, Yuan Shao sent the Kuaiji native Zhou Yu to attack Sun Jian, officer under Yuan Shu. Zhou Yu, who had just been appointed as Inspector of Yu province, attacked Sun Jian and defeated him and took over his camp.

Sun Jian counterattacked and defeated Zhou Yu in multiple skirmishes, who then fled. During the battle Gongsun Yue, who reinforced Sun Jian, was hit by a stray arrow and died.
