A scene.
With the victory of the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan began to take the initiative to attack Cao Cao.
However, this turned out to be the biggest nightmare in the history of Sun Quan's war.
In 214, Cao Cao invaded Zhang Lu in the west, and Sun Quan took advantage of Cao Cao's lack of time to look east and attacked Cao Wei's important town of Hefei for the second time.
Sun Quan stormed Hefei for more than ten days, the plague was prevalent in the army, and had to retreat, sun Quan personally led the Yulin army to break the queen.
Zhang Liao, the general of the Cao army, saw Sun Quan withdraw his troops and decided to launch a surprise pursuit, catching Sun Quan by surprise.
Zhou Tai immediately led his troops to meet the enemy, but unexpectedly the whole army was divided into two sections by the Cao army, and they could not take care of each other before and after.
As soon as Zhou Tai saw that he was getting farther and farther away from Sun Quan, he worried about Sun Quan's safety and immediately fought to find Sun Quan.
Zhou Tai had already broken through the siege, but he did not find Sun Quan, so he killed him again and finally found Sun Quan.
Zhou Tai protected Sun Quan and a group of generals to fight left and right, and were shot several times in the body, and the arrows pierced the armor, and the blood flowed.
In the end, everyone was able to escape.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says: "Sun Quan is marching forward on horseback. Zhou Tai covered his left and right, and his body was shot several times, and the arrows penetrated the heavy armor to save Sun Quan. ”

In 217, Cao Cao led an army to attack Fusukou for the third time.
Sun Quan repeatedly appointed Zhou Tai to lead an army to resist, because zhou tai had successfully repelled Cao Cao's attack twice long after the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Chibi.
Zhou Tai did not fail in his mission and forced Cao Cao to retreat again.
Since then, Cao Cao has never gone south.
At this time, Sun Quan was contemplating a renewed friendship with Cao Cao and actively planning a sneak attack on Guan Yu in Jingzhou.
In order to relieve his worries, Sun Quan reappointed Zhou Tai as the general of Pingyu and left him as the governor.
Years have passed, and history seems to draw a circle.
Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng, and others had already raised their official ranks, but they still had to obey Zhou Tai's dispatches, and their dissatisfaction in their hearts escalated again.
When Sun Quan heard about this, he decided to go to The Gate again and feast on all the generals.
During the banquet, Sun Quan raised his wine glass to Zhou Tai, undressed Zhou Tai, faced the scars on his body, and said affectionately: "Youping, you fought like a fierce tiger on the battlefield for our brothers, never cherished your own life, and the dozens of scars on your body are like paintings carved on the skin."
With such deep affection and friendship, how can I not treat you as a flesh and blood relative and entrust you with a heavy responsibility? You are our hero, and I will certainly share honor and disgrace with you. ”
The next day, Sun Quan ordered troops to line up and personally issued Zhou Taiqingluo umbrella covers, and all the officers of the three armies were subdued.
The "Biography of Jiang Biao" records: "Quan put his arm, because of the flow of snot, the word is known: "Youping, Qing fought like a bear and a tiger for the lone brother, spared no effort to kill, was wounded dozens, and the skin was portrayed, ..." That is, the Imperial Silk Quilt covered with the imperial silk that he often used... Drum horns for trumpeting. ”

Because Zhou Tai was heavily defensive and stabilized Sun Quan's rear, Sun Quan successfully raided Jingzhou and killed Guan Yu.
After the incident, Sun Quan did not forget the merits of Zhou Tai, and appointed Zhou Tai as the taishou of Hanzhong and the general of Fenwei, and the marquis of Lingyang.
After Zhou Tai's death, his army and title passed to his two sons until the fall of the State of Wu, which was more honorable than the descendants of Zhou Yu and other heroes.
The evaluation of Zhou Tai in history is also very high, and the loyal savior has been respected by all generations.
However, the emergence of Zhou Tai is more due to Sun Quan's discernment.
As the saying goes: There is Bole and then there is Maxima.
In popular terms nowadays, platforms are important.
