Profile

Zheng Zhou was a subject of Wu. He has no biography of his own in the Records, and his name appears once each in the main text of Chen Shou, in the Biography of the Lord of Wu in Records of Wu 2 and the Biographies of the Three Successor Rulers in Records of Wu 3. In the spring, in the 3rd month, of the 2nd year of Chiwu (239), he was sent to Liaodong as an envoy together with Yang Dao and General Sun Yi (孫怡), and they attacked Wei's garrison commanders Zhang Chi, Gao Lü and others and captured men and women. Records, Wu 2 §87–88 · 93

In the 8th month of the 2nd year of Taiping (257), when the people of Poyang and Xindu rose in revolt, he, as Colonel of Infantry, led troops to suppress them together with the Commandant of Justice Ding Mi (丁密) and General Zhongli Mu. The main text of Chen Shou does not record his courtesy name, origins, later deeds or death, and the assessments of the two volumes do not discuss him either. He does not appear in the Romance.
