Later in life, he rescued Sun Quan yet again, this time from Zhang Liao's ambush at the Battle of Hefei. After this astonishing feat, having charged enemy lines to accomplish the rescue, Sun Quan would for the rest of his living days request Zhou Tai present at his side during all major battles.

When Sun Quan promoted Zhou Tai to Controller of Ruxu, the other generals would not accept Zhou Tai's command at first, citing his common background.

Pointing at each scar, Sun Quan asked Zhou Tai the story behind it, whereupon Zhou Tai would respond with his memories of past battles.

Video games

Zhou Tai is a playable character in the popular Koei video game series, Dynasty Warriors, being introduced in Dynasty Warriors 4. He is portrayed as a man who prefers actions to words. He is strong, brave, determined and inexorable, fearing no-one and nothing. His storyline follows his commitment and unwavering loyalty to the Kingdom of Wu, but more specifically to Sun Quan, consistently moving to assist Sun when the latter is threatened by the enemy. His preferred weapon is the "Dusk," a Japanese tachi (erroneously labeled as a katana), which he wields with one hand, and sheathes inside an intricate scabbard. This conflicts with historical recordings, as tachi were not actually used until the eighth century[1], some five hundred years after the game's chronological setting. It is likely that Zhou Tai's weapon is designed to create a more unique and individualized character, as several of the 48 characters represented have very similar fighting styles and weapons, which was seen in past incarnations of the series as one of its more prominent weak points.
