Every time Sun Quan gave Zhou Yu, he had a hundred pieces of clothes all year round, and no general could compare with Zhou Yu at that time. For the Sun family, Zhou Yu can also be said to be loyal. According to the "Biography of Jiang Biao", Cao Cao wanted to use Zhou Yu for his own use, and sent Jiang Gan, who was good at argumentation, to lobby Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu resolutely rejected Jiang Gan. The scholars of the world admired Zhou Yu more and more.

Soon Huang Zu's general Gan Ning came to surrender, and Zhou Yu recommended him with Lü Meng, so he was heavily used by Sun Quan.

In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206), Zhou Yu led Sun Yu and others to crusade against Ma and Bao Ertun, beheaded their leaders, and captured more than 10,000 people. Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu sent Deng Long to attack Chaisang with thousands of men, and Zhou Yu led the army to counterattack and captured Deng Long.

In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao led his army to invade the south and occupy Jingzhou, and Cao Cao pressed on Sun Quan. When the army was pressing, Sun Quan intended to fight with Cao Cao and asked for a strategy. However, Sun Quan's ministers appeared in two factions, the main peace and the main war, and the important ministers and advisers Zhang Zhao and Qin Song supported the surrender of Cao Cao. So Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan to recruit back Zhou Yu in Poyang.

Zhou Yu returned to Sun Quan's side and analyzed the key to the victory or defeat of Cao Cao and Sun Quan's armies to Sun Quan, first pointing out: Cao's army was exhausted after a long journey; The weather is cold, and the horses have no grass to eat; Northerners are accustomed to land warfare, not good at water warfare, and are not accustomed to water and soil; Ma Chao and Han Sui are still in Guanxi, and they are Cao Cao's troubles. After further analyzing the actual strength of Cao's army, it was pointed out that Cao's army from the Central Plains was only 1560,000, and the 70,000 or 80,000 people who were newly surrendered by Liu Biao were not favored by Cao. Sun Quan sighed: "Cao Cao has wanted to abolish the Han and stand on his own for a long time, but he is just taboo with Eryuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao and me. Now only I am left, Cao Cao and I are incompatible, what you said is very much in line with me, this is God gave you to me! ”

Sun Quan finally made up his mind, drew his sword and cut off the corner of the table, saying: "There are no more people who dare to say surrender, just like this table!" ”

Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu to lead 30,000 people to resist Cao, on the way to meet the two armies in Chibi, Cao Cao's army because of illness, and not accustomed to water, the first battle was defeated and retreated, Cao Cao led the army to Jiangbei. Zhou Yu and Liu Beijun set up camp on the south bank, and the two sides confronted each other. Zhou Yu's general Huang Gai suggested that Cao Jun be defeated by fire, but Zhou Yu thought it was feasible and ordered Huang Gai to surrender. Cao Cao really hit the plan, all the ships were burned, and Cao Cao returned the north to the south county.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu marched into Nanjun again, and held Cao Ren across the river. Before the two armies clashed, Zhou Yu first sent Gan Ning to occupy Yiling. Cao Ren sent a part of his troops and horses to surround Gan Ning, and Gan Ning complained to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu adopted Lü Meng's strategy, leaving Ling Tong to guard the rear, leading the army to aid Yiling, breaking Cao's army under Yiling City, killing more than half of them. Cao Jun fled by night, passing through a dangerous road blocked by firewood, and in desperation, the horsemen abandoned their horses and walked on their own. Zhou Yu led his troops to chase and intercept, and obtained 300 war horses, and his military prestige was greatly boosted.

Zhou Yu led his troops to garrison the north shore and set an appointed date to fight Cao Ren. Zhou Yu personally rode a horse to supervise the battle, was shot in the right flank by a flying arrow, was seriously injured, and retired to the camp. Cao Ren heard that Zhou Yu was sick in bed, and personally supervised the soldiers to attack the Wu soldiers. Zhou Yu rose up, inspected the battalions, and encouraged the soldiers to kill the enemy, but Cao Ren had no choice but to retreat. Sun Quan appointed Zhou Yu as a partial general, and concurrently served as the Taishou of Rennan County, and made the three counties of Xiajun, Hanchang, and Zhouling his Fengyi, and let him garrison Jiangling.

After the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu proposed to Sun Quan to put Liu Bei under house arrest and directly manage the army subordinates of Liu Bei's camp.

In the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), Sun Quan approved Zhou Yu's plan to conquer Yizhou, but when Zhou Yu rushed back to his garrison Jiangling and prepared to go on the expedition, he fell seriously ill and eventually died in Baqiu (present-day Yueyang, Hunan) at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. Sun Quan heard this and cried: "Gongjin has the qualifications of Wang Zuo, but his life is short, what else can I rely on?" He personally put on mourning clothes to mourn for Zhou Yu, and was moved. When Zhou Yu's coffin was transported back to Wu County, Sun Quan went to Wuhu to greet him in person, and all the funeral expenses were paid by the state. After Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor, he said to Gongqing: "If there is no Gongjin, I can't be the emperor." ”

In the second year of Emperor Xingping of the Han Dynasty (195), Zhou Yu received a letter from Sun Ce from Liyang (now Hexian County, Anhui), inviting him to go down to Jiangdong together. After Zhou Yu, who was looking for a political way out, received the letter, he immediately led thousands of his subordinates to Liyang. At the same time, he also brought a large number of boats and ships of grain. Zhou Yu and Jiangdong celebrities Cheng Pu, Zhang Zhao and others assisted Sun Ce to conquer Moling, Huyi, Jiangcheng and other places, drove out Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, and occupied his place Qu'a (now Danyang, Jiangsu). In a dozen days, Sun Ce's army increased by more than 20,000 people and 1,000 war horses, and it shook Jiangdong. Before continuing his eastward advance, Sun Ce entrusted Zhou Yu with the important task of guarding Danyang (present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu), an important town in Jiangdong.

Later, Zhou Yu refused the title of general canonized by Yuan Shu, and asked Yuan Shu to go to Juchao (now Tongchengnan, Anhui) as the chief. Juchao is very close to the Yangtze River, and Zhou Yu's attempt is to go straight down the river from Juchao to Jiangdong. Yuan Shu didn't know Zhou Yu's intention to return to the east on a false trip, but he actually met Zhou Yu's request. In Juchao, Zhou Yu became acquainted with Lu Su, a wealthy family in Linhuai Dongcheng (now Dingyuan, Anhui). Under his persuasion, Lu Su gave up his official position as the head of Dongcheng, betrayed Yuan Shu, and crossed east with Zhou Yu. Sun Ce considered that the Zhou clan of Shuxian County was a famous family in Lujiang, and sent Zhou Yu as the governor, so that he could make full use of his family's social influence to recruit people, recruit talents, and expand his power.

In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led more than 20,000 people to attack Anhui City. After taking Anhui City lightly, Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce in Xunyang and Shaxian, defeating Liu Xun, who returned to save Anhui, and Huang Zu, who rushed to save him. After several major battles, Sun Ce captured more than 30,000 soldiers and more than 7,000 warships, and his strength increased greatly. Through this use of troops to the west, the areas around Yuzhang (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) and Luling (now northwest of Jishui, Jiangxi) were also owned by Jiangdong. After the end of the war, Zhou Yu took the position of protecting the army and leading the Jiangxia Taishou (Sun Ce granted Zhou Yu this position before taking Anhui City) to guard Baqiu (present-day Yueyang, Hunan) to prevent Liu Biao's eastward invasion of Jingzhou (present-day Hunan and Hubei).

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), after Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, the navy and army claimed to be 800,000 and went south, and gave Sun Quan a war letter. After Sun Quan showed the letter to his subordinates, they were shocked, and the officials led by Zhang Zhao persuaded Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao. At that time, although Lu Su was present in the main battle, he was humble and could not play a role, so Lu Su asked Sun Quan to recall Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu arrived, he analyzed the current situation to Sun Quan, and now the north has not been completely pacified, and Ma Chao and Han Sui are still stationed west of Hangu Pass, which is Cao Cao's trouble. And Cao Cao abandoned the pommel horse and switched to a ship to fight the victory with the Jiangdong people who grew up in the water town. It was bitterly cold now, and the horses lacked forage. Moreover, the soldiers in the Central Plains region were driven to travel far and wide to the rivers and lakes, and they did not accept the water and soil, and epidemics would inevitably occur. These aspects are a big trouble with the use of soldiers, and Cao Cao acted rashly. The general seized Cao Cao's opportunity, and it was today. I asked to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to Xiakou to ensure that Cao Cao could be defeated for the general. thinks that Cao Cao came to die this time. Zhou Yu's words strengthened Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao, so he took Zhou Yu as the commander and united with Liu Bei to burn Chibi and severely damage Cao Cao.
