In Fiction
In Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yu was one of the scholars who argued with Zhuge Liang during the latter's visit to Eastern Wu to form an alliance between Liu Bei and Sun Quan. In another incident, when Zhou Tai was seriously wounded in battle, Yu recommended the physician Hua Tuo to heal Zhou. Yu also contributed during Lü Meng's invasion of Jing Province by persuading Guan Yu's subordinate Fu Shiren to defect to Sun Quan's side.
