Zhu Yi 朱異

Zhu Yi was the son of the talented general Zhu Huan 朱桓. He met his unfortunated end after refusing to advance upon Sun Chen's orders.

Death
During Zhuge Dan's rebellion, Wu sent Zhu Yi and others to aid him. Unfortunately, they were losing against Wei's Shi Bao and Hu Lie of Wei had raided and torched their entire supply depot at Dulu. Zhu Yi was forced to retreat to Anfeng, Zhu Yi saw how severely outnumbered they were and with no food, Yi's soldiers were forced to survive on leaves to avoid starvation. In the end, Zhu Yi knew he could not go on any longer and retreated back to Huoli and met with Sun Chen. To the amazement of all the Wu generals, Sun Chen ordered Zhu Yi to attack again and fight to the death to break the siege. Zhu Yi refused, saying that his soldiers were starved and could not continue even if they wanted to.

Shortly after his refusal to advance, Sun Chen ordered Zhu Yi back into his tent. Lu Kang feared for Yi's safety, and so he tried to stop Zhu Yi from going to the meeting, but Yi insisted there was nothing to worry about. On September 28th, 257, Sun Chen had Zhu Yi beaten to death in his tent. All were shocked to hear of his death, even the Wei generals.

Aftermath
After Sun Chen had executed Zhu Yi brutally, he became widely hated and seen as malicious and foolish. Sima Zhao predicted that as a result of this, Wu's army would collapse and Sun Chen himself would not live much longer. The effect this had on Wu's entire army's moral was just as devastating. All of the soldiers lost the will to fight and ultimately abandoned the campaign against Wei as a result. Almost immediately upon his return, a coup d'état was attempted, but ultimately failed and all involved (Sun Luban, Quan Shang, and Sun Liang) were exiled. Shortly after, another coup d'éta occurred, and this time succeeded with the help of Sun Xiu and Ding Feng, resulting in Sun Chen's execution.
