How did Huang Zhong die during the Three Kingdoms period, and how did Huang Zhong die in the Romance

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Zhong followed Liu Bei to conquer Sun Wu in 222 AD, because Liu Bei said that the veteran was useless, Huang Zhong refused to accept the old, and was ambushed by Ma Zhong in the battle with Wu general Pan Zhang, and was shot in the shoulder socket by a stray arrow, and died of old age and blood decay, arrow sores and painful cracking, at the age of 75. Huang Zhong once had a son, Huang Xu, who died in his early years, so Huang Zhong had no queen. It is said that in "Three Kingdoms", Huang Zhong died of illness.

According to the "Three Kingdoms Shu Shu Biography of Huang Zhong", Huang Zhong died in the 25th year of Jian'an, and later posthumously called Ganghou. The first chapter of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" wrote that he followed Liu Bei to fight Wu in the first year of Zhang Wu, that is, in the first year, he beheaded the enemy and died by a secret arrow, which was obviously fictional, just to arrange a heroic ending for him. Where Huang Zhong was buried after his death is not stated in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", but he died before the Battle of Wushu Yiling, and his hometown Nanyang was occupied by Cao Cao at that time, so he should naturally be buried in Chengdu.

As for the specific location of the tomb, it is difficult for future generations to know for sure because the historical records have been lost for more than 1,000 years.

Huang Zhong was promoted to general for his merits, and was tied with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, and general until he died of illness in the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220).

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei and Wu avenged Guan Yu, and Huang Zhong ignored his old age and asked Ling to be the vanguard. Later, because Liu Beiyan's veteran was useless, Huang Zhong went out single-handedly, and on the way to pursue Wu general Pan Zhang, he unfortunately fell into Ma Zhong's ambush and was shot in the shoulder socket by him with a stray arrow. On the night when Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and Liu Bei escorted him back to the camp for treatment, he died of arrow sores due to old age and blood decay.

Huang Zhong died of illness in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms at the age of seventy-three, and was posthumously named Ganghou.

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, Huang Zhong made trouble in the battle of Dingjun Mountain, killed Xiahou Yuan, and defeated Cao's army. The following year, Liu Bei established himself as king in Hanzhong, appointed Huang Zhong as the rear general, and gave him the Marquis of Guannei.

In the first year of Zhang Wu, Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor and Huang Zhong was named the general of Zhenxi.
