Shen Qing looked at the man before her. Just as she was about to bend down and help him up, she heard Liu Zhao's surprised voice from behind her. "Vice General Xu, what are you..."
Shen Qing had already deduced that the man's rank in the army was not low. Now, it seemed he was one of Liu Zhao's eight vice generals.
However, even when Liu Zhao himself went to help him up, Vice General Xu remained kneeling, motionless.
Shen Qing looked down at him and said softly, "Please rise, Vice General Xu."
Hearing Shen Qing's words, Vice General Xu finally stood up. With reddened eyes, he looked at her and said, "Many of the soldiers currently defending Xizhou are men who followed Lord Xiao Shen to drive out the Daliang barbarians back then. If they knew Lord Xiao Shen had returned, they would be overjoyed..."
Liu Zhao was one of Yu Jiuqing's men. Therefore, many of the soldiers Yu Jiuqing had stationed in the Xizhou garrison were men who had previously served under Shen Qing and Yu Jiuqing.
