How did Huang Gai die in Zhou Yu Beating Huang Gai?

Speaking of the history of the Three Kingdoms, "Zhou Yu hit Huang Gai" is a classic allusion, in which Huang Gai's spirit of giving his life for the country, being brave and good at fighting, and Zhou Yu's spirit of being resourceful and wise and brave are widely praised. Although the "bitter plan" won Battle of Red Cliffs's victory and Huang Gai's victory, it didn't "die a fair death". So, how did Huang Gai die in history? Is there any story in this?

Let's talk about Huang Gai first. Huang Gai, a word husband, is from Lingling Spring. As a famous soldier in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he also experienced three masters: Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan. In his early years, he was a county history, followed by Sun Jian, and finally followed by Sun Quan, and his character was brave. No matter who you follow, you can always embody the word "loyalty and courage".

Huang Gai likes reading since he was a child. Although his family is poor, he makes a living by selling firewood every day. But in spite of this, he still wants to study, and he firmly believes that only hard work can achieve what he wants. Finally it paid off. In the early days, he served as the local county history, and later he was elected as Lian Xiao. From then on, the story of following Sun Jia to conquer the world began.

Huang Gai's most famous battle is Battle of Red Cliffs, which also leads to the two-part allegorical saying that "Zhou Yu hit Huang Gai, and one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer", and the words "willing to suffer" are actually for the needs of the war plot. Finally, with Zhou Yu's "fire attack", he won a great victory and defeated Cao Jun.

Not only that, during his tenure, Huang Gai also went abroad many times to pacify mountain thieves and manage local affairs, large and small. Because of his excellent style and outstanding military exploits, he was appointed as a general by Sun Quan. Until he died.

Speaking of the death of Huang Gai, the question of this article comes. How did Huang Gai die? Although there are different opinions about his death, he actually died of illness. Just after Zhou Yu's "Fire Attack", although Battle of Red Cliffs won a battle, in order to defeat Jun, he finally burned his boat and jumped into the river with the rest of the soldiers behind him and swam back to the shore. But before he jumped into the river, Huang Gai was injured by a heavy arrow and burned. Because of this, when swimming back to the shore, no one recognized that it was the hero Huang Gai, and his face was as confused as those soldiers. Fortunately, Huang Gai shouted "Handang" at this time and was recognized. However, although he was seriously injured this time, he did not die.

Starting from this time, Battle of Red Cliffs, Huang Gai was named as a corps commander of the Five Dragons. But then Huang Gai stayed away from these political centers and stayed at home to recuperate. Later, as mentioned earlier, Sun Quan went out to conquer mountain thieves and manage some things, so he was promoted to be a partial general. However, Huang Gai couldn't hold on this time and eventually died. In this way, a generation of loyal ministers passed away.

In the final analysis, Huang Gai has made great contributions to the establishment of the State of Wu. There are countless contributions, large and small, but the most important thing is that the "risks plan" defeated Cao Cao and made the State of Wu win a great victory. But it also made me sick. But people who have contributed to the country have far more lives than themselves. They are people who will live in our hearts forever, if they are not dead!
