Zhu Yi (simplified: 朱異, traditional: 朱異, pinyin: Zhū Yì), courtesy name Jiwen (季文), was Zhu Huan’s son. After his father’s death in 238 he succeeded to his rank and troops and was made Cavalry Commandant. He defeated Wen Qin, destroying his seven encampments with two thousand men, and in 252 helped thwart a Wei invasion by destroying floating bridges on the Yangtze. He served as General Who Spreads Martial Might (揚武將軍). In 257, when Wei general Zhuge Dan rebelled and Wu regent Sun Lin ordered Zhu Yi to relieve him with tired and unfed troops, Zhu Yi refused. Sun Lin had him executed. The execution was widely resented; Zhu Yi was admired for his ability and integrity.
