Appears in 14 chapters:

Chapter 38 — Zhuge Liang Plans For The Three Kingdoms; Sun Quan Attacks Xiakou To Take Revenges.
Xu Sheng; named in passing among Wu officers.
Chapter 49 — On Seven-Star Altar, Zhuge Liang Sacrifices To The Winds; At Three Gorges, Zhou Yu Liberates The Fire.
Takes the river route of the assassination, crowds sail after the fugitive boat - and watches Zhao Zilong's single arrow cut his halyard, the sail collapsing into the water as the quarry runs before the wind.
Chapter 51 — Cao Ren Withstands The South Land; Zhuge Liang Angers Zhou Yu.
Beaten back by Cao Ren's rescue charge in the first battle, he redeems it at the trench - hauling the wounded Zhou Yu to safety with Ding Feng under the arrow shower.
Chapter 55 — Liu Bei Rouses The Spirit Of Lady Sun; Zhuge Liang A Second Time Angers Zhou Yu.
Camped on the Chaisang road for days by Zhou Yu's calculation - and undone in a minute: Lady Sun's rolled-up curtain and torrent of abuse drop him out of the saddle, arms grounded, road open.
Chapter 56 — Cao Cao Feasts In The Bronze Bird Tower; Zhuge Liang Provokes Zhou Yu A Third Time.
Xu Sheng; with Zhou Yu.
Chapter 67 — Cao Cao Conquers Hanzhong; Zhang Liao Terrorizes Xiaoyao.
Proposes the platform-ladder assault at Huancheng; his boat waits under the far shore at the ford and takes the rescued Sun Quan aboard.
Chapter 68 — Gan Ning's Hundred Horsemen Raid The Northern Camp; Zuo Ci's Flung-Down Cup Fools Cao Cao.
Shames the frightened fleet ('you have eaten the bread of your prince'), raids Li Dian's legion from small boats — and has to be pulled from the press by Zhou Tai, both of them badly wounded.
Chapter 75 — Guan Yu Has A Scraped-Bone Surgery; Lu Meng Crosses The River In White Robe.
One of the seven generals of the white-robed expedition.
Chapter 76 — Xu Huang Fights At The River Mian; Guan Yu Retreats To Maicheng.
Brings up one of the closing cohorts, with Ding Feng, that ring Guan Yu 'like the kernel in a nut.'
Chapter 82 — Sun Quan Submits To Wei, Receiving The Nine Dignities; The First Ruler Attacks Wu, Rewarding Six Armies.
Cries out behind the carriages for all to hear: barred from smashing Wei and swallowing Shu, 'and our lord receives a title from another man. Are not such things shameful?' — the outburst that makes the Wei ambassador doubt Wu's obedience will last.
Chapter 83 — Fighting At Xiaoting, The First Ruler Captures An Enemy; Defending The Three Gorges, A Student Takes Supreme Command.
Chosen with Ding Feng to command the new Commander-in-Chief's guards.
Chapter 84 — Lu Xun Burns All Consecutive Camps; Zhuge Liang Plans The Eight-Array Maze.
Sniggers at the ambush warning, complains at the restraint — then earns his place: covers Chunyu Dan's retreat with Ding Feng, and closes half the pincer on the fleeing Emperor before Zhang Bao's guards break him off.
Chapter 86 — Using Words, Qin Mi Overcomes Zhang Wen; Setting Fire, Xu Sheng Defeats Cao Pi.
Volunteers to hold the coast and delivers Wu's cheapest great victory: a hundred-mile wall of reed soldiers, carts, and masts grown up in one night from Shidou to Nanxu, then fish-oil fire down the Huai onto the dragon ships. His iron discipline nearly costs Sun Shao his head — and his quiet support (Ding Feng's reinforcement) saves the insubordinate boy's battle anyway.
Chapter 96 — Shedding Tears, Zhuge Liang Puts Ma Su To Death; Cutting Hair, Zhou Fang Beguiles Cao Xiu.
Leader of the Van. Beats Zhang Pu in single combat badly enough that he breaks off and reports 'Xu Sheng is too strong'. Comes down the high road into the rout and kills a great many, then pursues Cao Xiu toward Jiashi — until Jia Kui's planted flags make the country look full of ambushes and he turns back.
