Zhou Xin
Zhou Xin? The name is Taiming. Kuaiji (now Zhejiang) people. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao was a general. The elder brother of Zhou ang and Zhou Zhe.
Zhou Xin traveled to the capital when he was young. He was a master of Chen fan. He read a lot and was good at pushing disasters. Later, he was conquered by Taiwei's government, promoted to a high rank, and moved to Danyang. When Cao Cao Chen Liu launched a campaign against Dong Zhuo, Zhou Xin sent more than ten thousand elite soldiers to help Cao Cao. When Yuan Shu was in Huainan, Zhou Xin refused to associate with him because he didn't like him. Yuan Shu hated Zhou Xin, and privately appointed Wu Jing as governor of Danyang, and sent Wu Jing to attack Zhou Xin. Unwilling to harm the people, Zhou Xin disbanded the army and returned to Kuaiji's hometown, where he attached himself to Wang Lang's men.
Later, sun CE attacked Kuaiji. Wang Lang, the prefect of Kuaiji, was shocked and sent Zhou Xin and other soldiers to fight. Sun CE defeated and killed Zhou Xin and others, thus pacifying Kuaiji.

When Yan Baihu and Yan went out of the city to pursue, they were killed. Chapter 15 of the romance of the Three Kingdoms: Tai Shici fights against sun Bofu, the little overlord, and Yan Baihu. Wang Lang sees sun CE in a hurry to attack the city and wants to fight to the death again. Yan Baihu said: "Sun CE's troops are very powerful. He should only be in deep ditches and high fortresses, but not out of strong walls. In a month's time, the army will run out of grain and retreat naturally. At that time, it was not necessary to fight but to break it (Wang) according to his opinion, Lang stuck to the city of Kuaiji. Sun CE attacked for several days in a row, but he couldn't succeed. Instead, he deliberated with the generals. Sun Jing said, "it's hard for Wang Lang to take the responsibility of guarding the city. Most of Kuaiji's money and grain are collected for investigation. If the land is tens of miles away from here, it's better to use soldiers to control it first: the so-called "attack it unprepared and surprise it." (sun) ce Daxi said: "uncle's clever use is enough to break the thief!" That is to say, he ordered that fire should be burned at every gate, and the flag should be falsely set up as a suspect, and he would withdraw to the South overnight. Zhou Yujin said, "together with the Lord and the soldiers, Wang Lang is bound to come out of the city to catch up. He can win by surprise." (sun) ce said, "I'm ready to go down today. I'll take the city only tonight." So he ordered the army to set out. But Wang Lang said that when he heard that sun CE's army had retreated, he had drawn people to the enemy's building to wait and see, and when he saw the fireworks rising under the city, his heart hesitated. Zhou Xin said, "Sun CE has gone. I've made this plan to doubt my ears. You can send troops to attack it. " Yan Baihu said, "Sun CE is going here. Is he going to investigate the desecration? I ordered the troops and general Zhou to pursue it. " Lang said: "chadu is the place where we collect grain. We should be on guard. You lead the troops first, and I will take them later. " White tiger and Zhou Xin led 5000 soldiers out of the city to catch up. As the early watch approached, more than twenty miles away from the city, suddenly a drum sounded in the dense forest, and the torches were burning. The white tiger was so surprised that he pulled his horse back. One of the generals is the first to stop it. It's sun CE who sees it in the light of the fire. Zhou Xin came to meet him with a sword and was stabbed to death by CE. The rest of the people are down. White tiger killed a bloody road, looking forward to Yuhang. Hearing that the former army had been defeated, Wang Lang did not dare to enter the city and led his subordinates to flee to the corner of the sea. Sun Qifu returned to the army and took advantage of the situation to take the city and stabilize the people. Not a day later, a man came to sun CE's army with Yan Baihu's head. He is eight feet long, square in face and wide in mouth. When asked about his name, he was from Yuyao, Kuaiji. His surname was Dong, and his name was Wang, which was written in Yuan Dynasty (Dong Wang). CE Xi was appointed another Sima. Since the East Road was flat, he ordered his uncle Sun Jing to guard it, and Zhu Zhi to be the prefect of Wu County, and sent his troops back to Jiangdong.
