Biography
Zhou Xin, styled Daming, originally served under Liu Yao. Defended against Sun Ce when he came south to attack using Yuan Shu’s troops. He fought Wu Jing, one of Yuan Shu’s officers, but was defeated by Sun Ce. After Liu Yao’s defeat, he fled to Wang Lang. When Sun Ce continued his campaign, he was killed in battle (in the novel, by Sun Ce himself).
