Zhu Zhi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zhu Zhi (156-224) was an officer of the Kingdom of Wu during the Three Kingdoms Period in China. He was known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings", the Wu counterpart to the Five Tiger Generals of Wei. He served Sun Jian early on and participated in battles against Dong Zhuo.
After the death of Sun Jian, his son Sun Ce became a warlord under Yuan Shu. He sent Zhu Zhi to act as an advisor and general for the warlord Xu Gong, but later betrayed Xu Gong and took over his territory for Sun Ce.
After Sun Quan became the ruler of Yangzhou, Zhu Zhi was made Minister of War and Deputy Commander of Army Inspection as well as the general and Grand Administrator of Wu commandry, a position he would retain for his entire life. He adopted Zhu Ran as his son, as he had no heirs. In 222, he was made Marquis of Pilang, and in 223, Zhu Zhi was made General Who Guards the Kingdom and Lord of Gu Zhang. Zhu Zhi died in 224.
