Zhu Huan (177–238),[1] courtesy name Xiumu, was a military general of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. Although he started his career early under the warlord Sun Quan, he did not receive any important responsibilities until after the Battle of Jiangling in 209. Since then, Zhu Huan had taken charge of some local defences and successfully quelled a few rebellions. Between 222 and 225, when Cao Pi, the emperor of Wu's rival state Wei, launched a three-pronged invasion of Wu, Sun Quan appointed Zhu Huan as a military commander to resist the Wei invaders. Zhu Huan defeated the Wei general Cao Ren at the Battle of Ruxu (222–223).

  1. ^ a b c The Sanguozhi mentioned that Zhu Huan died at the age of 62 (by East Asian age reckoning) in the 1st year of the Chiwu era (238–251) of Sun Quan's reign. Quote from Sanguozhi vol. 56: (年六十二,赤烏元年卒。)
