Xu Sheng



Xu Sheng is a character in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He is a famous general who served Wu during the early Three Kingdoms era of China. Renowned as a loyal and courageous leader, he heavily contributed to Sun Quan's campaigns against Wei.

History
Xu Sheng participated in many battles for Wu. In his career, he won several times over numerically superior opponents.

After Cao Pi declared himself emperor, he led a large force into an attack on Wu. As commander-in-chief of the Wu forces, Xu Sheng had a false wall erected on the banks of the border river, which was over 100 soldiers. When Cao Pi saw this wall, he immediately withdrew his army.

In this way, Xu Sheng has repelled the entire Wei invasion without a single casualty. However, Xu Sheng died before Sun Quan declared himself emperor, though his titles and troops were passed on to his son Xu Kai.
