In the 22nd year of Jinghong's reign in Dongyu, Zhou Zhuo, the hero of the generation, became seriously ill. The concubine Chen Wang Zhou Nanyun obtained the support of Xiong Zhen, the Ming Emperor of Southern Chu, and joined forces with his concubine brother to kill his father and kill the prince Nan Ye to seize power. During the civil strife in Dongyu, Yin Supeng, a returnee of Southern Chu, flooded the southern border of Dongyu with water from the natural chasm. The Southern Chu army took advantage of the situation and captured most of Dongyu, trapping Zhou Nanfang in Huaiping City, and cutting off the Dongyu army from the western and northern borders. When Zhou Zhuo was on his deathbed, he noticed something and issued an edict to appoint Zhou Nanfang, King Huan, the five-son Zhennan general, as the crown prince. He secretly sent his young daughter Zhou Nanshi out of the palace to ask for help from the border troops. Before it arrived, Huaiping City was destroyed and King Huan burned Guanshan Tower. Qin Gu, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, and Yu Wenhuan, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, supported the Southern Dynasty and sent troops to restore the country.
