1, drunk
One of Zhou Yu's main deeds is to "drown my sorrows by drinking". He demeans himself and doesn't care about others, so he is called "drinking to drown his sorrows". This idiom means that one falls into a state of intoxication and indulgence, regardless of the consequences.
2. Danyang borrows soldiers
In the second year of Xingping, Zhou Yu went to Danyang to visit his slave father Shang Zhou. As Sun Ce led the army into Liyang and prepared to cross the Yangtze River eastward, he wrote to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yuling led the troops to meet Sun Ce and gave him strong support. Sun Ce was very happy and said, "I have you, and things will be done."
Therefore, Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce to cross the river first for profit, then crossed the river to attack Moling, defeated Yan Rong and Betty, and instead captured Hu Zhe and Jiangcheng, entered Qu 'a and drove Liu You away. At that time, Sun Ce had grown to tens of thousands of people. He said to Zhou Yu, "All I have to do is win Wu Jun and Huiji counties, and then use this team to pacify Shanyue. Go back and watch Danyang. " So Zhou Yu led the troops back to Danyang.
Soon, Yuan Shu sent his cousin Yuan Yin to replace Shang Zhou as Danyang secretariat, and Zhou Yu followed Shang Zhou to Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province). Yuan Shu found that Zhou Yu was very talented, so he wanted to keep Zhou Yu for himself. Zhou Yu saw that Yuan Shu would not achieve anything in the end. He only asked to be a county magistrate who lived in a nest and wanted to take the opportunity to return to Jiangdong. Yuan Shu agreed to Zhou Yu's request.
Zhou Yu met Lu Su when he was a county magistrate in Juchao, and thought he was unusual, so he took the initiative to see him. They established an unbreakable friendship, just like the relationship between Gongsun Qiao and Ji Zha in the Spring and Autumn Period.
3. Liu Lian Kang Cao
After Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, Wan Shuijun went south at 20. After analyzing the situation in the north, Zhou Yu put forward a plan to unite Liu against Cao Cao and successfully defeated Cao Cao. In Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhou Yu won with wisdom and courage, which showed his outstanding military talent.
4. Battle of Red Cliffs
Before Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhou Yu contributed to Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao Cao. Battle of Red Cliffs was a glorious battle in Zhou Yu's life. Battle of Red Cliffs and Zhou Yu were the main commanders. Under his leadership, Cao Cao was defeated.
5. Jiang Gan steals books.
Battle of Red Cliffs and Jiang Gan volunteered to win them over with the help of Zhou Yu. Go to Zhou Yu's camp, because Zhou Yu has ordered the beheading of those who mention the military, so Jiang Gan dare not mention surrender. After the banquet, Zhou Yu pretended to be drunk and took Jiang Gan into the tent to have a rest.
In the evening, Jiang Gan got up and saw a letter on Zhou Yu's desk. Jiang Gan hid in his arms and reported to Cao Cao.
