[Three Kingdoms | Ce Yu] Snow at the Third Watch

Zhou Yu, courtesy name Gongjin, was born in 175 AD and died in 210 AD, at the age of thirty-six. Sun Ce, courtesy name Bofu, was born in 175 AD and died in 200 AD, at the age of twenty-six. Taking twenty-six and thirty-six years as a basis, even if a person could travel one tenth of the world and meet three thousand people in a lifetime, the odds of two people meeting and knowing each other from one million BC to the present day would be about 0.00000000007053708502352854575170068668. Anyone can check the calculation for themselves. How fortunate it is to meet the person fate has destined for you in this world. When Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei swore brotherhood, they vowed to be born and die in the same year, but even that did not come to pass. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were born in the same year, became fast friends at their first meeting, and swore brotherhood as boys, yet they died ten years apart. Ten years is a long time. For whom did Zhou Yu defend the realm and conquer the world during those ten years? Zheng Banqiao wrote in "Zhou Yu's Residence": Young Zhou Lang, full of heroic bearing, was a great man of Jiangdong. Eight hundred thousand troops went up in a blaze; the wind swept yellow leaves before the shore. Warships collapsed like clouds, banners flashed away like lightning, and blood flowed into the river. Three months of flames at Xianyang could not rival such a blaze. I imagine him playing stirring bamboo flutes and strings, turning back to listen to music, then laying down his plans for war in the tiger's tent. Gongjin and Bofu were gifted by Heaven, and fate cruelly parted lord and subject midway through their lives. Wu and Shu fell out, the Han realm was in turmoil, and an old demon grew sly and treacherous. To this day, regret lingers, and the Qinhuai River sobs softly every night. Theme:
