7- The Commander is a Young Musician

The first job of Zhuge Liang was to travel across Yangtze River to meet Sun Quan, the younger brother of Sun Ce and the new leader of Jiangdong province. At that time, Sun Ce had been killed in battle. Liu Bei wanted to establish an alliance with Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao together.

As soon as Zhuge Liang arrived in Jiangdong, he visited Zhou Yu, whom he had admired for a long time.

Zhou Yu was a handsome and talented young man. He was named the Commander of the Jiangdong Navy in his twenties. Zhou Yu had a deep friendship with Sun Ce. He married Xiao Qiao, whose elder sister is Sun Ce’s wife. Thus, Zhou Yu had a high influence in the court of Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu was good at playing the zheng. If there was a small mistake in a piece of music played by others, Zhou Yu would immediately correct it.

In the reception dinner for Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu played a tune for him. Let’s listen to it.
