晉天福初，範延光叛於魏州，周從楊光遠攻降之，安重榮以鎮州叛，從杜重威討平之，以功授貝州節度使。 Early in the Jin Tianfu reign, Fan Yanguang rebelled in Weizhou and Zhou joined Yang Guangyuan in the campaign that brought him down. When An Chongrong rose in Zhenzhou, Zhou followed Du Chongwei to crush that revolt and, for these services, was made military commissioner of Beizhou.
