Origin and Story of 所向无敌
In 196 AD, Cao Cao held Emperor Xian hostage and established the capital in Xuchang, ordering Sun Quan of Eastern Wu to send his son as a hostage to Xuchang.
Sun Quan gathered his subordinates to discuss countermeasures. General Zhou Yu strongly opposed sending a hostage, stating that as long as the military and civilians of Eastern Wu worked hard and united, they would be invincible. Sun Quan then strengthened his resolve to resist Cao Cao.
