It was dim and Xu Sheng quietly stood up, explaining the situation to the thief who was vigilant, and asking the thief to open the door. He wore a green scarf, cloth clothes, and a pair of straw sandals under his feet, which looked no different from ordinary people who came out to work while the farm was slack. Such people often got up before dawn and saw the thief too much, and nodded without thinking too much. Xu Sheng thanked him, took off the door bolt, opened the door a crack, and was about to squeeze out the crack, when he was about to come out of the crack, a greeting came from behind him.

"Savant, please stay."

Xu Sheng turned around and saw Wen Chou standing on the second floor opposite the gate, holding the railing with one hand, covering his mouth with the other, and yawning. Xu Sheng was shocked, but his face remained silent, and turned around and bowed to Wen Chou.

"I wonder what the general has to give?"

"I think you have good physical strength and your walking posture is different from that of ordinary people. Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Xu Sheng suddenly realized that the door of the pavilion was thick and the door bolt was far more heavy than that of ordinary people. Ordinary people had to use both hands to remove it. He used iron spears all year round and had extraordinary strength. He just removed the door bolt with one hand, and inadvertently exposed his strength and attracted Wen Chou's attention.

The devil is hidden in the details, and General Sun's words are true.

"The general is really aware of his thoughts. The villain has been walking outside for many years and has learned a few tricks to defend himself."

Looking at Xu Sheng who was respectful, Wen Chou felt relieved. He went downstairs, came to Xu Sheng, and pinched Xu Sheng's shoulders. "Where is the one?"

"Langya people."

"Who is the last name? Do you have any words?"

"The surname is Xu, his name is Zhong, and he has no words." Xu Sheng said, passing on the prepared road. This was the road he bought when he was seeking life. He kept it with him. Unexpectedly, he would use it this time. Without the road he could not move in.

Wen Chou took a quick look and handed it back. "Seeing that you are good at your good skills and how much money can you make in your work, why not follow me, so that you can keep you safe from food and clothing, and you can still get some money back after winning the battle."

Xu Sheng looked at Wen Chou and shook his head. "The general is just a guest army. He will leave Xuzhou sooner or later. I don't want to leave my hometown."

Wen Chou felt a little regretful, and was thinking of a few more words of persuasion, Xu Sheng said again: "I heard that the general is a subordinate of Liu Junbo'an, the governor of Youzhou?"

"yes."

"Then I don't want to go. Liu Bo'an is also a royal family member, with a noble family and a scholar. He looks down on the martial arts man. He will not have any future as his subordinate. It is better to work. Although it is harder, at least he can save his life." After Xu Sheng said that, he bowed and left.

Wen Chou was stunned, and felt sad inexplicably, and he was indifferent to Xu Sheng. Liu Yu really looked down on the martial arts man. He had a freak with Gongsun Zan, which was an important reason. Although he was not Liu Yu's subordinate, but Yuan Shao's subordinate, Yuan Shao was not much better. The warrior was just the knife in his hand, and he would never be his confidant. His confidant was a famous scholar of Ruying and a powerful man in Hebei.

Xu Sheng left the pavilion and walked more than five miles south. He met with his companions who were hiding here, turned over and rode forward and rushed forward. Not far away, two Wuhuan scouts discovered them, rode their horses, one of them rushed forward to intercept them, and the other stopped far away, holding a bow and was on alert. Xu Sheng and his companions gave a wink. Xu Sheng kicked his horse forward and blocked the Wuhuan person with his body. The companions took the bow and took the arrow, and drove the Wuhuan person in the distance with one arrow.

He shot to the ground. Xu Sheng kicked the horse hard and took off the iron spear hanging on the saddle. The war horse was three feet long and came to the Wuhuan people. Xu Sheng raised his spear and stabbed the stunned Wuhuan people to the ground. Then he rode his horse to chase the Wuhuan people who fell to the ground with an arrow. Another spear stabbed the Wuhuan people in the back of the Wuhuan people, resulting in his life. Behind him, the archer turned over and dismounted, pulled out the battle knife, and cut off the neck of the seriously injured Wuhuan people with one knife.

In the flash of lightning, the two joined forces to kill two opponents, took the Wuhuan people's war horses, and quickly left.

At noon, Xu Sheng caught up with Sun Ce and reported the situation in detail to Sun Ce. Sun Ce was very satisfied with Xu Sheng's alertness and flexibility and praised him a few words. Xu Sheng and Xu Huang have different personalities, one is extroverted and the other is introverted, but they are both meticulous and can make quick decisions when needed and move forward bravely.

While rushing to the road, Sun Ce called Ma Chao and others to discuss. Not far ahead is Qi County. After passing Qi County, you will pass through a very short distance within Pei State and enter Shanyang County. According to the map, there is a Baishan Mountain more than ten miles southeast of Qi County. It is not too high, only fifty or sixty feet, but it is enough for two hundred cavalry to hide and charge. It is a good place for assault. After passing Qi County, it is a flat horse and there is no place to hide.

Ma Chao suggested ambushing Wen Chou in Baishan. Sun Ce thought for a while but gave up. Judging from what Xu Sheng found out, Wen Chou was not a brave but unscheming person. He was also a cautious person. Even if he was not familiar with the terrain and knew that there was a mountain, he would be very careful and would not give them a chance to ambush.

"Go to Qi County." Sun Ce made the decision.

"Entering the city?" Ma Chao was confused.

"We won't go into the city, but we should give Wen Chou this illusion." Sun Ce explained: "We will fight Wen Chou between Qi County and Baishan. You arrange a few people to bring extra horses to Qi County. When Wen Chou passes by Baishan, you will go back and prepare to attack from behind Wen Chou and snatch his pack horse. Be careful, you are not allowed to attack without my order."

Ma Chao was shocked. "General, what do you want to do? With these dozen people, do you want to attack Wen Chou's army?"

Sun Ce smiled. "First of all, all of me, the dozen warriors who are ten, can play a leading role in taking the lead. Secondly, if you can't see you, Wen Chou dares not do his best. He will definitely devote most of his energy to guard against you. In his consciousness, we have about a thousand cavalry to guard against so many cavalry raids. He will leave at least five hundred people, or even one thousand. In addition to the soldiers guarding the horses, we only have about five hundred people to deal with, and at most no more than one thousand."

"That's a number of dozens of times. If you fail, the consequences will be unimaginable." Ma Chao was really anxious. "General, I am better at assault. You can lead the main force to Baishan and leave the assault mission to me."

"If you fail, it depends on whether you, Ma Mengqi, can catch us. If you succeed, I will still expect you to attack two thousand people with two hundred people. The assault mission, you can, and I can, there is no big difference. Commanding the cavalry to chase and kill, I am not as good as you. Mengqi, killing Wen Chou is only the first step. We must kill as many Wuhuan people and Xianbei people as possible, and seize their horses and baggage. This important task is you."

Ma Chao had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

After passing Baishan, Ma Chao took Beima to Qi County. Sun Ce continued to walk four or five miles forward, stopped at a place called Xia Ting, and ordered everyone to rest, eat, and prepare for the war.
