Chu Tian was greatly shocked by Xu Sheng's surrender. He failed to capture Xu Sheng alive in Yangdu County, but now Xu Sheng came to seek refuge on his own.

Zhou Yafu described what happened in as much detail as possible in his letter.

Qi Xiaobai went to seek refuge with Ling Feng, the lord of Ju County, but Qi Xiaobai's general Wu Sangui suddenly attacked and killed Ling Feng, thinking that he could conquer Xu Sheng.

As Lingfeng's general, Xu Sheng was extremely loyal and dissatisfied with Wu Sangui, so he led his own soldiers to fight Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui came well prepared, but Xu Sheng finally suffered a big loss. After being defeated, he was hit by an arrow and fled to Yangdu County on the other side of the Yi River, hoping to use the power of Chu Tian to avenge his old master.

"Wu Sangui is really a headache..."

Chu Tian put down Zhou Yafu's letter, and now Wu Sangui is based in Ju County, with tens of thousands of troops, and he has become Chu Tian's formidable enemy.

"Invite Xu Sheng to come to Xiacheng."

Chu Tian originally thought that the first Three Kingdoms general he conquered was the Taishan bandit, but he did not expect that it would be Xu Sheng.

Annam District, Dai Viet Kingdom.

"He is a player from the Eastern Han District. Damn it, he took away Champa Rice!"

"catch him!"

A group of menacing Dai Viet lords and players, armed with weapons, attacked a sailboat, splattering the deck with blood.

The border of the Civilized District was opened in May of the second year of the Lord Calendar. Immediately, the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty sent desperadoes to the Annan District to try to obtain Champa Rice.

The angry lords of Annan District bloodbathed the sailing ship.

While they were searching for the loot, they discovered that something seemed a little wrong.

"This is not a sailing ship from the Eastern Han Dynasty. We were deceived!"

"They are really cunning! Once the lords of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou get Champa rice, it will be a huge threat to our country, Dai Viet!"

No matter how angry the Dai Viet players are, it is useless, because the Dong Han players who got the Champa rice have already set sail with the help of the sea breeze blowing from the Pacific Ocean to the land.

"Brother, I have fulfilled my mission and obtained the seeds of Champa rice. In the future, the south of the Yangtze River can become a granary."

A Jiaozhou player stood on the undulating deck. He risked his life and went to Champa. By bribing local officials, he finally got the precious Champa rice.

"There are also players from the Dai Viet Kingdom who are chasing me. I will seek revenge from you in the future. The Dai Viet Kingdom should have been our territory in the Eastern Han District a long time ago!"

Jiaozhou and Dai Viet have a long history of grievances.

Originally, the land of Dai Viet Kingdom should have been part of Jiaozhou. Later, Dai Viet Kingdom separated and formed a different civilization, which is now Annam District.

The lords of Jiaozhou had only two development directions, either to go north to attack Jingzhou and Yangzhou, or to go south to attack Dayue Kingdom.

Chu Tian waited patiently in Xiacheng for five days, and Soochow general Xu Sheng finally arrived in Xiacheng on a gondola warship.

"Xia City is more prosperous than I thought. However, the navy in Xia City is not large."

Xu Sheng got off the boat at the pier in Xiacheng and saw a prosperous fish market on the shore.

The fourth-level fish market in Xiacheng is overcrowded and supplies 100,000 people in Xiacheng.

In order to develop Xia City, Chutian moved 50,000 people from Langya City to Xia City. Therefore, Xia City is now second only to Langya City.

A group of light cavalry returned to the city from a crusade against bandits and met Xu Sheng who had come to seek refuge. The group of light cavalry was led by a young general in white.

Xu Sheng looked at the man and felt that he was somewhat familiar. He suddenly recalled that this was the general from Xia Cheng who led the heavy cavalry to break the formation that day.

During the battle in Yangdu County, this young general in white with a somewhat immature appearance led 300 heavy cavalry to pierce his legion. The majesty of his square-shaped halberd impressed Xu Sheng deeply.

Xue Rengui didn't know Xu Sheng, but he glanced at Xu Sheng intentionally or unintentionally when he passed by.

"General Xue, my lord has a move."

Xue Rengui was stopped by the personal guards leading Xu Sheng.

Chu Tian knew how powerful military generals were in historical facts. Xu Sheng might be a diamond-level general. If he got angry and injured someone, Chu Tian might be killed with his current strength.

Therefore, Chu Tian specially summoned two powerful generals, Xue Rengui and Li Guang, to guard Xu Sheng to prevent Xu Sheng from being sent by Wu Sangui to pretend to surrender.

A soldier never tires of deceit.

Xue Rengui dismounted and asked his deputy to help him lead the Turkic war horse back to the stable.

Xu Sheng's eyes lit up when he saw Xue Rengui's horse.

He also knows the advantages and disadvantages of war horses.

Xue Rengui's war horse costs at least five hundred taels of silver.

Xu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little envious.

At least he has never been exposed to such a good horse.

"Who are you?"

"Xu Sheng, the defeated general."

"Why are you here? Could it be that you came here to pretend to surrender?"

Xue Rengui's first reaction was that Xu Sheng pretended to surrender.

Although Xu Sheng was defeated in the battle in Yangdu County, his entire army was not wiped out. He returned to Ju County after his defeat and should not appear in Xiacheng.

"Young general, don't be suspicious. My lord was killed by Wu Sangui, so I want to use my troops to avenge him."

Xu Sheng looked a little gloomy when he mentioned this matter.

Chu Tian knew that Xu Sheng had been loyal to Soochow throughout his life and was a trustworthy general, so he accepted Xu Sheng's surrender.

Xu Sheng followed Xue Rengui to the Lord's Mansion. Chu Tian took a bath and burned incense, and took Li Guang to wait for Xu Sheng's arrival.

It is difficult to subdue wild military generals. The two Taishan bandit generals Zang Ba and Sun Guan are still imprisoned in the dungeon of Xia City and have not surrendered.

What Chu Tian wants to conquer now is a military commander who is better than Zang Ba and Sun Guan, and he is also a naval general.

Chutian has infantry, cavalry, and archer generals, but it lacks water generals.
