Sun Ce's heart moved and stood up to leave the tent. He saw a young man standing not far outside the tent. He was about in his early twenties and tall, holding a black war horse in one hand and a dark iron spear in the other. He was discussing with Xu Chu. His slightly dark face was like cast iron, his thick eyebrows were raised, his eyes were wide open, and his anger was full.

Guo Jia followed, stood behind Sun Ce, and chuckled: "I heard that Langya is a man of a strong and fierce nature for a long time, so I have indeed seen it."

Sun Ce agreed. He dared to shout in front of Xu Chu and challenge him. This is indeed not something that ordinary people dared to do. In this way, he should be the Xu Sheng. In front of the envoy of Wei, when everyone swallowed their anger and even Zhang Zhao dared not speak out, only Xu Sheng dared to express his dissatisfaction, claiming that he wanted to join Xu Luo and swallow Bashu, which destroyed the envoy of Wei.

"Zhongkang, let him come closer."

Xu Chu retreated aside, his face always calm as a pool of autumn water, and there was no fluctuation. When Sun Ce left the tent, Xu Sheng saw him and looked at him carefully. He heard Sun Ce's greeting, he was not polite, and poked the spear hard to the ground and tied the reins to the handle of the spear. Sun Ce glanced at him. The spear was more than one foot of the ground. Xu Sheng had the strength in his hand, no wonder he was so confident. However, such strength was nothing in his camp, let alone challenging him.

Sure enough, as Xu Sheng took a step, Xie Guanglong, who was standing beside him, walked over, stretched out his hand, easily pulled out his spear, and said with a smile: "This hero, you can't tie a horse in front of the general's tent, I'll hold you for a while."

Xu Sheng was slightly stunned and looked at Xie Guanglong with a careful look. He knew the weight of his iron spear and knew how much strength it would take to pull out the spear. Xie Guanglong was just an ordinary personal guard, and he had such strength, and it seemed that he was not inferior to him.

"Hey, I'm Iron?" Guo Yuan also walked over, took the spear in Xie Guanglong's hand, weighed it in his hand, and then held the spear in one hand and shook his head repeatedly. "It's so heavy, I definitely can't make such a heavy spear. Brother Xie, where are you?"

Xie Guanglong shook his head seriously. "I can't do it either, it's too heavy. I guess there are not many people in this camp who can make such a heavy spear." He counted on his fingers and nodded again. "Well, there should be no more than ten."

"What about other battalions? I heard that Captain Lu has an extraordinary arm strength and has a strong bow with three stones."

"In addition to other battalions, I guess there are seven or eight more."

Sun Ce didn't say anything, watching Xie Guanglong and Guo Yuan sing and reconcile, but he paid attention to Xu Sheng's expression. Xu Sheng's expression changed a few times, and the arrogance on his face had faded a little. Experts could tell if there was anything when they reached out. When Xie Guanglong and Guo Yuan played his iron spear so well, they knew that these two people were not talking nonsense. Especially Guo Yuan, holding the spear tail in one hand could still play so easily, which shows that his wrist strength was not only comparable to his arm strength, but also his spear technique was not weak.

Who are the people around Sun Ce? Where do so many experts come from? One or two are rare, how could there be seventeen or eighteen?

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Sun Ce coughed, stepped forward and took Xu Sheng's iron spear from Guo Yuan, and waved his hand. "Get out of here, I know how to bully newcomers all day long. Can you have some potential? If you have the ability to defeat Guan Yunchang, you will be convinced."

"Oh, Xie Guanglong and Guo Yuan shook their heads in unison, turned around and left. "General, please let Xu Duwei, Commander Dian, take action, or you can do it yourself. A fierce man like Guan Yunchang is not something we can deal with."

Xu Sheng turned around and looked at Xu Chu. Xie and Guo had already surprised him. How could there be a top master who could not even make Xie Guo dare not mess with him? And Xu Chu, who didn't speak much, could be a top master who could compete with Guan Yunchang?

"Xu Sheng?" Sun Cegong bowed his hand and sent the spear back. "I'm Sun Ce from Jiangdong, whose courtesy name is Bofu, so I'm lucky to meet, so I'm lucky to meet."

Xu Sheng hurriedly took the spear, but lost his arrogance and bowed back. "Langya Xu Sheng, whose courtesy name is Wenxiang, dares to ask about the general's daily life."

The two of them were polite, and Sun Ce asked Xu Sheng to enter the tent to speak. Xu Sheng handed over the horse and spear to Yi Cong, and was about to remove the sword. Sun Ce stopped him and smiled and said, "It's better to be wary when you go out, so you don't need to solve the sword. Guan Wenxiang looked serious and was definitely not an assassination person."

Xu Sheng did not insist, and followed Sun Ce to the account and settled the guest and the host. Sun Ce sent someone to serve him and asked about his purpose of coming. Xu Sheng was not polite either. He was here to join the army. He originally relied on his martial arts and did not want to be tested like ordinary soldiers. He wanted to fight with Sun Ce himself, so he could get Sun Ce appreciated and stay by his side. Now seeing the strength of Xie Guo and the others, he knew that he was a little lazy and apologized to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce laughed and asked about the situation in Langya after getting over this topic. Tao Qian was fighting in Langya, and he needed to understand the situation there.

Xu Sheng sighed. Tao Qian's war was unfavorable. Now he has retreated to Yangdu and lost half of Langya. No one knows when he can last. Ju County has seen Yuan Xi's vanguard, and it is estimated that it will soon become a battlefield. He fled south because he couldn't stay in his hometown and wanted to take refuge in Jiangdong. He passed by Tan County. He heard that Sun Ce was nearby, so he left his family in Tan County and rushed to Xia Pi to join the army.

"Who else is there in the family?"

"The old mother, wife and children, a total of four."

Sun Ce understood. Xu Sheng was a single-door, without family support and no division, so he did not choose to go north to join Yuan Xi. Even if he went there, he was also a low-level officer. He rushed to the front line and had no division protection. No one could tell whether he could be promoted to an intermediate officer alive. Instead of doing so, it was better to go to Wuhui to take refuge and live a peaceful life. The reason for joining him was naturally because he was from a low-class family, and his talents were limited, so Xu Sheng had more opportunities to stand out.

This is a very realistic choice. Xu Sheng is ranked among the tiger ministers in Jiangdong, but his starting point is too low, even among Jiangdong generals. When he first surrendered to Sun Quan, he only gave him 500 soldiers, which was a commander. His later death was very likely related to his injuries in his early years.

Guo Jia suddenly said, "What is the impression of Tao Mu in Langya?"

Xu Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Tao Mu only believes in Danyang people. Danyang people gathered together and rejected Xuzhou people, so the locals were unwilling to join the army. The war in Langya was not good, and Xu Mu was still in Yangdu, and all counties had fled one after another, either south or north. I heard that Yan Liang, a great clan of Linyi, was still leading the army for Yuan Xi, and he was quite trustworthy. Tao Mu's previous setbacks have a lot to do with Yan Liang's enrollment in Yuan."

Sun Ce found Linyi's location on the map, and felt uneasy. Linyi was already behind Yangdu, and the Linyi clan Yan Liang defected to Yuan Xi. Linyi naturally would not support Tao Qian. It seems that Tao Qian's possibility of defending Yangdu is very small. Once Yangdu changes hands, he can only retreat to Kaiyang, the country.

"The situation is very serious." Sun Ce clicked the map. "If Liu He sends cavalry to attack Langya and support Yuan Xi, Tao Mu will be in trouble."

"It's okay." Guo Jia shook the feather fan and said confidently: "Liu He is determined to occupy Xuzhou. He will not act rashly until he is sure to win. We still have a chance."
