Everyone in history knows that Zhou Yu was angry, but how did he die scientifically?

First, the preface Zhou Yu's most unlikely cause of death is "anger", because anger does not kill people. Unless emotional excitement leads to cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, acute heart disease, or genetic disease complicated syndrome (except malignant tumor), sudden death will never be due to "anger". This can be divided into active death or accident, which is described in detail from the beginning below. Second, various possible causes of death (1) fell ill halfway. Wu Shu. ":(Zhou) went back to Jiangling to pack his luggage, but died in Baqiu. "It is clear that death is due to" dying on the way. " According to Sun Quan's policy, Zhou Yu was appointed as the prefect of Nanjun and stationed in Jiangling. Zhou Yu has come to Beijing to visit Sun Quan in advance, so the geographical location from east to west is Wu Jun, Baqiu and Jiangling. After Zhou Yu left Sun Quan, he passed by Dongting Lake and Baqiu, and died halfway before he reached Jiangling. This is the simplest and most reasonable cause of death. Zhou Yu died of illness and died in Baqiu. (2) Discussion on Accidental Death Let's discuss accidental death again. There are many spontaneous and unforced factors, but they are not difficult to compare. 1 Zhou Yu's acclimatization should be the most impossible. Zhou Yu is good at water army. He also traveled by boat between Sun Quan and Jiangling Station in Beijing, which did not consume more physical strength than walking on land. It is only possible that Zhou Yu will get seasick or vomit and diarrhea on the river, and he will die if he doesn't learn to row. Moreover, Baqiu is still in the east of Jiangling. If Zhou Yu is not used to Baqiu in the Yangtze River valley and Jiangling after years of hard work, that would be a big joke. Because Battle of Red Cliffs still claims that Cao Jun is not acclimatized, and if Zhou Yu leads the army, there will be no problem of terrain superiority or backwardness. 2. Suffering from infectious diseases, such as plague or dysentery, you have to go deep into the southwest, and there will be no plague everywhere between Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake. Otherwise, Battle of Red Cliffs wouldn't give Cao Cao and Zhou Yu the same chance to get sick, so Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu won the battle by luck, expecting each other to get sick and die. A cold won't kill you, nor will eating a bad stomach for a while. You will suddenly get sick and die, unless it is a virus as strong as the Black Death. Some people have also mentioned the idea of schistosomiasis, but the Yangtze River basin is an epidemic area, and Zhou Yu is from Lujiang, and more or less has antibodies. Unless it is an acute outbreak of infectious diseases, the military forces will not be weak for a while. 3 Recurrence of old injuries No matter what The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says: "The arrow and gun crack again, and the ground is under the horse." Or the reflection says, "Zhou Yuyan, golden sores break." Refers to Zhou Yu who was shot by an arrow when he besieged Nanjun, but failed to recover afterwards, or suffered from tetanus, which may be vector poisoning, leading to rheumatic or bronchial diseases. If you add another accident, even if you choke on drinking water, you may relapse and die. This possibility is not ruled out, and minor illnesses and persistent illnesses may also become fatal serious diseases. At best, the possibility is slim. (3) At the level of being besieged and forced to die, let's talk about being forced to die voluntarily. Zhou Yu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes that when Zhou Yu attacked Jingzhou City, he was blocked by Zhao Yun, the garrison commander, and was ambushed by Wei Yansi Road. Unfortunately, he fell off his horse in anger and had to retreat. Finally, he received a reminder from Zhuge Liang, because of his figure, there is no room for people. After a long sigh, he "died after a few phone calls." In the story of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu led 50,000 troops, which were blocked by 10,000 people from Liu Bei and Kong Ming, and the back road was copied by 10,000 people from Zhang Fei. Zhou Yu was in a dilemma and fled to Baqiu. "I couldn't eat for a few days, and my head and face were swollen." Finally, I couldn't afford to fall ill and died. These records are based on the stagnation of Zhou Yu's March and the obstruction of others, which led to the disease. Liu Bei, who just married Sun Quan's sister in the honeymoon period, should not attack and kill Zhou Yu, which is probably the rarest. Third, the beneficiary of the best interests (1) Zhou Yu's will "Biography of the River Table": "The Tao suffers from acute illness, and it heals itself yesterday, but it will not be damaged tomorrow." It means that Zhou Yu was ill and cured himself, but he said to Sun Quan, "Life is worse than death, and I am short-lived. I am sincere, but I hate my ambition and stop teaching. " I felt sorry for my unfulfilled ambition, but I also told Lu Su what had happened. It seems that Zhou Yu knows that the timing is not good, and it is a bit generous to go to justice. It can be confirmed that it is not an acute infectious disease and will not die like smelling poisonous gas. But it will reveal disappointment, indicating that the illness must be very serious, or that Sun Quan's claim to innocence is just a polite word. In fact, Zhou Yu is terminally ill.
