She is best known for accompanying the army and aiding Sun Ce in his fight against Liu Yao in the Campaign to conquer Jiangdong.
In 195, Sun Ce led troops to attack Liu Yao, clashing with subordinates, Fan Neng (樊能), Yu Mi (于糜) on the Heng River, and Zhang Ying (張英) on the Danglikou (east of present-day He County, Anhui).
At the time, Sun Ce's troops had few military ships, being parked and waiting.
She proposed a surprise attack, advising that if Sun Ce waited too long, it would be harmful.
The strategy was accepted and Sun Ce secured victory against Liu Yao in his campaign to conquer Jiangdong.
