Wang Rui's courtesy name was Tongyao, and was from Linyi, Langya (now Linyi City, Shandong Province). He was a minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the uncle of Wang Xiang, the Taibao of the Jin Dynasty who was begging for li. He was born as a filial and honest person and was moved to the governor of Jingzhou.

However, Liu Yao still used Zu Rong and Xue Li to station troops near Moling City (it should have occupied the important land of Shitou City in later generations) as the second line behind the river bank defense line to consolidate Moling.

Liu Yao underestimated Sun Ce's ability and did not make a correct judgment. Since the defense line on the river bank was lost, he should recruit the old troops to retreat to Niuzhu, or add the place where the Xierong Xue Li was stationed around Moling to consolidate the food storage. Although Niuzhu is dangerous, the risk of the profits and other dangerous things have proved that it cannot stop Sun Ce. How safe can Niuzhu be? On the contrary, in order to avoid the pursuit of Zhang Ying's naval army, Sun Ce quickly captured Niuzhu camp and supplemented the equipment and food in the camp. The battle of Qu'a has basically come to an end.

The Niuzhu Camp was earned by Zhou Yu and Zhou Shang. Liu Yao was too confident in his defense line, but Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu's betrayal was too sudden. After Sun Ce broke through the defense line and crossed the river, he failed to respond in time, resulting in repeated defeats. The Xue Li near Moling was defeated by Sun Ce later, so Liu Yao had to escape to Yuzhang. His later contribution was to kill the evil thief, Zurong.

Breakthrough of the river defense is the key to Sun Ce's crossing the river and pacifying the east of the Yangtze River. There are two problems here: one is that Sun Ce's crossing the river, part of the troops of Sun Ce's army were more than a thousand backbone of Sun Ce's army, the other is the troops brought by Xu Kun, and part of the troops of Sun Ben and Wu Jing who have been attacking the ferry. This team has a lot of troops, which cannot be ignored. The most important thing is the ship brought by Zhou Yu and the attacks on both sides. These have been hidden. Since then, Zhou has not seen anyone, and his political career has ended.

According to the moral point of the time, innocent betraying the master and hitting him hard was a despised person, so this point is obscure. Looking at the "Three Kingdoms Volume 7", there are four people: Zhang Miao, Lu Bu, Zang Hong, and Chen Deng, who are actually such people. Unrighteous people.

Just like Cao Cao was betrayed by Zhang Xiu in Wancheng, Liu Yao's Yangtze River defense line was easily broken from the inside by the betrayed Zhou Shang. However, after Cao Cao's miserable defeat in Wancheng, he could soon recover his vitality and fight, and Liu Yao had to run away.

Liu Xun had a partner named Liu Ye, who was one of the most important counselors around Cao Cao. Liu Xun, who could be with Liu Ye, would never be very bad. Zheng Bao was a well-known separatist armed leader in the local area. He was once a big shot that Lu Su wanted to surrender. However, Liu Xun personally took action to kill Zheng Bao, and rode Zheng Bao's horse to Zheng Bao's military camp to persuade him to surrender. Zheng Bao's subordinates all worshipped Liu Xun in front of Liu Xun and supported him as the new leader.

Zhou Shang, the prefect of Danyang, doesn’t need to introduce this person. I will tell you a fact that Zhou Shang has a nephew named Zhou Yu.

Xu Gong's background information is unknown, but after Sun Ce removed Xu Gong, Xu Gong's subordinates did not fall into pieces and scatter. Instead, they kept abducting revenge for Xu Gong and eventually successfully assassinated Sun Ce.

Moreover, Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu, who were appointed by Sun Ce to continue to take charge of Danyang County, have also been replaced by Yuan Shu with his privileges to replace him with his cousin Yuan Yin.

In the second year of Xingping (195 AD), when Sun Ce used the excuse to leave the preface and return to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu led his troops to welcome Ce from Danyang (now Xuancheng, Anhui) to help Sun Ce cross the river eastward and defeat Yangzhou at that time...

Zhou Rong's son Zhou Jing, who is Zhou Yu's father's uncle, and Zhou Jing's son Zhou Zhong (Zhou Yu's cousin), are both Taiwei. Taiwei is one of the "Three Dukes" and the highest military commander. Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi was appointed as the Luoyang Order.

Yuan Shu sent his younger brother Yuan Yin to replace Zhou Yu's uncle as the prefect of Danyang, so Zhou Yu and his uncle both returned to Shouchun.

Yang County mobilized troops and supplied ships with food to Sun Ce.

In the end, Zhou Shang must have fought back and turned to Sun Ce and Yuan Shu's forces, and attacked his old superior Liu Yao. The person who instigated him must have been Zhou Yu.

While Sun Ce led his troops to leave Shouchun and advance towards Liyang, he sent a letter to Zhou Yu in Danyang. The meaning of which was naturally to hope that Zhou Yu would instigate Zhou Shang and lead his troops to support his battle to attack the Yangtze River Ferry.

Let me talk about Baima Mountain first. It was where I walked on November 9, 2009. Baima Village, located deep in Baima Mountain, consists of 72 natural villages. According to the village party secretary, the villagers of Baima Village are all descendants of Wenzhou people. Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of Baima Village moved from Wenzhou. Why did Wenzhou people hundreds of years ago travel thousands of miles to the deep mountains that are almost isolated from the outside world to settle down? The legend of a Baima Village caught my attention: It was said to be a Baima.

When the general came to the village, he not only taught the villagers to practice martial arts, but also provided the villagers' grain seeds and taught them how to farm. This reminded me that the villagers practiced martial arts well, probably to resist foreign invasions, cultivate grain, be self-sufficient, avoid contact with the outside world, and avoid pursuit of foreign enemies. Perhaps when the ancestors of Baima Village were still in Wenzhou, they came to Baima Mountain to take refuge under the coercion of some forces. Baima Mountain was also named after the appearance of the Baima General.

In 172 AD, a peasant uprising led by Xu Sheng and Xu Zhao and his son broke out in Cixi, Yuyao. The father and son rebelled against the court, captured cities and lands in eastern Zhejiang, and established the State of Zhao. The son Chen Zhao called himself the general, and his father Xu Sheng proclaimed himself the Emperor of Yangming. The father and son's rebellious behavior was of course suppressed by the court, and the army was in a hurry, and the State of Zhao was in danger. In order to preserve their strength, the father and son retreated to Nantianmu. Because the eastern Zhejiang area belonged to the ancient Yue area, Xu Sheng and Xu Zhao wanted to take the King Goujian of Yue that year, slept on firewood and tasted gall to restore the country as a model, so he built the King of Yue in the current King Ping of Yue, expanding his strength, smelting weapons, and attempting to make a comeback and recover Yue area.

At first, Sheng Xian, the prefect of Wu County and a native of Kuaiji, recommended Gao Dai as Xiaolian. Xu Gong came to take over Wu County. Gao Dai hid Sheng Xian in the home of the commander Xu Zhao to take refuge. Zou Tuo from Wucheng, Qian Tong, and Wang Sheng from Jiaxing, each had more than 10,000 or thousands of troops, and refused to submit to Sun Ce.

Xuchang and others rebelled. Xu Sheng called "King of Yue" and Xuchang called "Emperor Yangming", completely broke away from the control of the Eastern Han Dynasty and cut off his own retreat. Yangzhou Governor Zang Min and Danyang Prefect Chen Wei (some say Chen Yin) were ordered to quell the rebellion. Of course, the location of the Xuchang Uprising was in Kuaiji County. Kuaiji Prefect Yin Duan also wanted to participate in the quelling rebellion, but Yin Duan's performance was not very good and was impeached by Zang Min. It should have been a death row, but Yin Duan's chief clerk Zhu Yan, who later suppressed the Yellow Turban Army, went to the capital to spend money to bribe the person in charge, avoiding Yin Duan's death row. Bribery of the superior to save the prefect should be considered a matter worthy of praise in the social context of the second monarchy of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of Zhu Yan" records it in detail.
