Xu Yi nodded and said, "That's exactly right. I'm not one to blow my own trumpet, but ever since I joined the fighting, I've always charged forward in every battle. To this day, I haven't suffered so much as a scratch. Even if a petty man has it in for me, he doesn't have the power to harm me. But one can spend all day being a thief; one can't spend all day guarding against one. In my view, we should strike with all our might, kill the thief, and cut off future trouble.

Xu Yi said, "Commander, you're direct, so I won't beat around the bush. I have no intention of making an enemy of you, and I'm sure you don't want to make one of me for no reason.

From Li Tang and Huang Wei's voice transmissions, he had already figured out that Zhao Ling was the one pulling strings behind the scenes.
By nature, he would once have fought Zhao Ling
