    There was a rapid report that a group of troops on the other side rushed into Dongwu Village. There were more than 3,000 troops. The general who led the army was none other than Zhuge Jin, the Grand Sima of Dongwu.  When Cao Pi heard the report, he suddenly frowned and said with a bit of sadness.

    "The Wu thieves sent reinforcements and captured Zhuge Jin. His strategy was extremely high. Even my father the emperor praised this man highly. He must be someone who is not idle. If so, wouldn't it be difficult for Yu to cross the river?  It¡¯s even more difficult!¡±

    Hearing this, Hao Zhao's face was shaken, and he spoke with emotion and cupped his hands.

    "Your Highness, don't worry. There are only thousands of Wu thieves, why should you worry!? We have a plan, and we will be able to cross the river within three days!!"

    When Cao Pi heard this, his heart was shocked, his face was overjoyed, and he eagerly asked Hao Zhao for advice.  The light in Hao Zhao's eyes was piercingly bright, so he taught him this.  When Cao Pi heard the plan, he was shocked, and all the generals in the tent praised it.  Cao Pi laughed loudly and talked to all the generals.

    "Hao Bodao is truly a talented person!!"

    So Cao Pi acted according to his plan and made arrangements for everyone.  It is also said that Zhuge Jin led the army into the stronghold and listened to Xu Sheng's report on the previous events. Hearing that his army had repeatedly won, he was overjoyed and rewarded him heavily.  Zhuge Jin was also afraid that the Wei people would come to attack the stronghold, so he taught Xu Sheng to send a group of troops to investigate on the river.

    That night, some Wu soldiers traveled long distances and fought fiercely. They were all exhausted. Except for the soldiers patrolling on the river, everyone went to rest.  At the second watch of the night, suddenly there was a loud sound of drums and shouts of killing came from the river.  Zhuge Jin woke up with a start, did not bother to get dressed, and hurriedly came out of the stronghold to take a look. He saw lights on the river and countless ships approaching.  Zhuge Jin thought that Wei soldiers were about to attack the stronghold, so he quickly ordered the troops to prepare.  Suddenly, there was a commotion and noise in Wu Jun's stronghold, with the sound of fighting and rapid footsteps.  Just when the troops were ready, the shouts of killing suddenly stopped, and the lights on the river gradually went out.  When Xu Sheng saw this, he thought that the Wei soldiers had withdrawn because his army was well prepared, so he asked Zhuge Jin to go back to his tent and rest.  Zhuge Jin frowned deeply and looked at the river. After looking at it for a while, he seemed thoughtful.  Suddenly, a strong wind blew up from the river, causing Zhuge Jin's hair to fly up, and he felt a chill all over his body.  Xu Sheng was afraid that Zhuge Jin would catch cold, so he invited him again.  Gradually, the wind and waves on the river became calm. Zhuge Jin silently withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly, and then went back to his tent to rest.  The night was quiet, and from time to time there were sounds of waves crashing on the shore, lulling people to sleep.  Unknowingly, the lights on the river lit up again, and there were loud shouts of killing. The soldiers patrolling outside the stronghold quickly called out, and suddenly there was chaos in the stronghold again.  Zhuge Jin rushed out and saw the lights on the river were brightly lit, the shouts of killing and the beating of drums shook the river, but it was all in vain.  When Zhuge Jin saw it, he laughed and said to Xu Sheng.

    "It seems that the Cao family's son is not an ordinary person! He actually wants to use this false strategy to disturb the morale of our army, making our soldiers panic and unable to rest. The Wei invaders are waiting for work, gathering momentum and waiting for the opportunity.  Once they arrive, forcefully cross the river and attack our stronghold. If this happens, our army will be defeated!"

    Hao Zhao had not yet become famous, but Zhuge Jin did not expect that it was him who came up with the plan.  When Xu Sheng heard this, his expression was startled, his brows were furrowed, and he said in a deep voice.

    "It seems that Cao Ziheng is not like Xu Huchi, a fool. Now the Grand Sima has noticed the Cao family's plan. How should he defeat it?"

    Zhuge Jin smiled lightly, his eyes flashed with wisdom and wisdom, and taught Xu Sheng the Tao.

    "The essence of the art of war lies in adapting to circumstances. It is so. We might as well just use the trick and teach the other army to think that we have fallen into the trick, but we also teach the soldiers to withdraw secretly at night and station the troops several miles away to rest and recuperate. Count.  Later, the Wei invaders came to attack our camp. We laid an ambush everywhere and killed them all!"

    As soon as Zhuge Jin came up with this plan, Xu Sheng was overjoyed and praised him.

    "Da Sima Guo has unpredictable plans by ghosts and gods, and it is impossible to succeed."

    Zhuge Jin chuckled, feeling high-spirited, then turned around and went back to his tent to pack his bags.  Xu Sheng then ordered the soldiers to build tents a few miles outside the stronghold and ordered the soldiers to plug their ears and rest.  On the river, Wei Bing later made two bluffs.  It didn't stop until after dawn the next day.  Then, at noon, drums were beaten and shouts of killing began again on the river.  Like this, day and night without interruption.  However, the Wei soldiers were numerous and took turns, but their rest would not be affected.

    Three days later, I came to report that there was a lot of movement in the Wei army stronghold, and it was suspected that there would be a large-scale attack tonight.  When Zhuge Jin heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly taught his soldiers to prepare an ambush.  Gradually, at the first watch of the night, the river was ablaze with lights and the sound of killings was loud. However, this time it was not a bluff. I saw large and small ships speeding towards the Wu army's stronghold.  Zhuge Jin was watching the battle not far away. Seeing the Wei army ships docking one after another, his heart tightened and he ordered preparations.  At this moment, the Wei army's ships were crowded with people. Cao Zhang led an army and hoped that the Wu army would attack the stronghold.  When Zhuge Jin saw the Wei army coming, he shouted his orders and saw Cao Zhang rushing into the stronghold. Suddenly, drums were beating loudly from all directions, and Wu soldiers from all directions surged out from behind the stronghold. They looked like fierce tigers descending from the mountain, expecting Cao Zhang's army to surround and kill them.  Cao Zhang?Seeing this, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he exclaimed in a panic.

    "Not good!! You have fallen into Wu Thief's plan, get out quickly!!"

    When Cao Zhang shouted, the Wei soldiers were immediately thrown into confusion and retreated in panic.  Wu soldiers swarmed up from all sides, and those who could not escape were captured.  Cao Zhang rushed around and looked at the boat. Xu Sheng shouted angrily and led his troops to cover up the attack. They went straight to the shore and saw the Wei soldiers fleeing looking at the boat.  On each ship, there were numerous figures.  Xu Sheng expected that the Wei soldiers would be in chaos if they fled in such a hurry. He laughed loudly and became very rampant, and ordered the soldiers to board the ship and fight.  Wu soldiers obeyed the order and swarmed to kill.  Xu Sheng jumped on the boat, and suddenly he saw Wei soldiers jumping into the river one after another. The boat was surrounded by firewood, and the figures he saw just now were all straw men!

    A general of the Wei army led dozens of soldiers to pour fish oil everywhere.  When Xu Sheng saw this, he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss of ice, and was so cold that he knew he had been tricked. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat. However, the Wu soldiers behind him were all eager to take credit. They rushed in one after another and were so crowded that they could not retreat at all.  In an instant, as the Wei soldiers on each ship threw their torches away, the fire on one ship soared into the sky and spread quickly to all directions. The Wu soldiers who were watching the ship were unable to catch up, and countless people were trapped by the fire.  Xu Sheng panicked and ordered his soldiers to jump into the river.

    At this moment, there were waves of shouts of killing, which were several times louder than the previous ones. Countless boats rushed over and rescued the soldiers who fell into the water. Anyone who saw Wu soldiers jumping into the river immediately fired arrows.  As a result, the Wu soldiers did not dare to fall into the river, but the fire on each ship became stronger and stronger. When the strong wind blew, they made a loud "pop, pop, pop" sound. They saw the fire spreading continuously, and the whole area was red and burned alive by the flames.  More and more Wu soldiers died, and the screams could be heard endlessly.  So gradually many Wu soldiers jumped into the river crazily. The Wu soldiers behind them seemed to be crazy and pushed towards the soldiers under the boat and fled for their lives. As a result, more than a thousand people fell into the river.  Cao Pi stood on a small boat. Seeing that the Wu soldiers had no power to recover, he was overjoyed. He immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and ordered the troops to fight.  As soon as Cao Pi's order fell, the drums vibrated and the horns sounded. Boat after boat rushed to the shore, and when they saw the Wu soldiers swinging their weapons, they killed them.  The Wu soldiers were scattered in groups, fleeing for their lives, but were killed by the Wei soldiers until they were unable to fight back.  But Xu Sheng jumped into the river, and a small boat came. The Wei soldiers on the boat had ferocious faces. They picked up their spears and knives, hacking and stabbing at random. Xu Sheng quickly sank into the river, and then suddenly turned out from the left, with one hand.  He grabbed a gun, dragged a soldier into the river, and turned him into a boat.  The Wei soldiers on the boat swarmed towards them. At the critical moment of life and death, Xu Sheng showed no fear. He twisted his gun and swept wildly, sweeping the Wei soldiers on the boat into the river one by one.  Seven or eight Wu soldiers swam over, and Xu Sheng quickly taught the soldiers to sail the boat to the shore.  Unexpectedly, as soon as the boat docked, there was a roar, accompanied by a violent hurricane, like the roar of a giant tiger.  Xu Sheng's face changed drastically in shock, and Wu Bing, who was in front of him, suddenly screamed and flew backwards. Where the blood surged, he saw Xu Chu with a fierce look and murderous intent, and he rushed over with a knife.

    "Wu Thief!! Do you still recognize me, Xu Huchi!!?"

    When Xu Sheng saw that it was Xu Chu, he was frightened. Before he could recover, Xu Chu suddenly slashed at him with a knife.  Xu Sheng hurriedly got out of the way and jumped towards the shore. Xu Chu slashed the air with his sword, and immediately raised another sword and flew towards Xu Sheng's back.

    Xu Sheng couldn't dodge, there was a loud bang, and the armor behind his back shook with fire. Xu Sheng let out a scream and rolled to the shore. The cold river water rushed over quickly. Xu Sheng choked, coughed violently, and coughed up  Come, but the river is full of blood.  Xu Chu suddenly jumped onto the shore, his fierce glare revealed, and he shouted coldly.

    "Send your name and I will promise Hu Chi not to kill unknown people!!"

    Xu Sheng endured the severe pain and stood up slowly, his huge copper bell-like eyes widened, without any fear, and shouted with a loud voice.

    "I am Xu Wenxiang!! Xu Huchi, you have been defeated by me many times, so don't be so arrogant!!"

    "Hahahaha!! Okay! Okay!! Okay!!! Today, I am here to avenge my shame!!"

    After Xu Chu finished drinking, he took a step forward and pounced on him like an angry mad tiger.  Xu Sheng gritted his teeth, twisted his gun and faced him.  Soon after, the two men's weapons came into contact instantly, making a sudden sound. The gun in Xu Sheng's hand suddenly swung away, and his body fell after looking back.  Xu Chu shouted and kicked Xu Sheng right in the abdomen.  Xu Sheng shouted in pain and fell to the ground. A wave of waves rushed over and swept Xu Sheng into the river.  Xu Chu looked at it coldly, and suddenly took out a few featherless arrows from the pouch on his waist. Xu Sheng just stood up from the river, and suddenly there were several loud blasts in the air.  When Xu Sheng looked anxiously, the flying rocks had arrived. There were three muffled sounds of "bang bang bang", one hit Xu Sheng's helmet, and the other two hit Xu Sheng's chest.  After the muffled sound, Xu Sheng fell down in response.  Xu Chu's eyes showed some appreciation, and he shouted to the soldiers on a small boat not far away.
