Xuande

Chapter 399
Luo Ge was very unhappy about Du Hu's thoughts.

He angrily reprimanded Du Hu.

"It's so rare for my people to be accepted and sheltered by General Liu. Can't you see the situation clearly? The Han army under General Liu's command is extremely powerful, and we can't defeat it at all. You want to kill you Are all the subordinates?"

Du Hu could not agree with this.

"Since you decided to rebel, you no longer take life and death seriously. Isn't it the same for you and me? We both agreed that even if we die, we will not regret it. Now you want me to surrender to others, there must be a way to say it. , You said he is a hero, I also heard that he is a hero, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, so I don’t know if it is true.”

"When you find out whether it is true or not, your life will be gone!"

Luo Ge said unhappily: "You always accept death like this, can't you be flexible? You are very good at fighting, but there is always someone who is better at fighting than you! You don't think about yourself, but also think about the subordinates who follow you Bar?
The Han army is strong, and General Liu's status is very high. My people follow General Liu to fight and make meritorious service, so we no longer have to worry about being bullied. This kind of good thing can't be asked for by others. Now such a good opportunity is in front of you, you Why do you still want to do such a thing? "

Du Hu still shook his head.

"Since I have made my decision, I will not change it. Go back and tell General Liu that I only have one request. If he fulfills my request, I will surrender. Otherwise, destroy me!"

Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, Luo Ge could only leave in annoyance, go back and tell Liu Bei about this matter, and plead guilty to Liu Bei.

"Du Hu is a straightforward person, and he accepts the truth. Once he understands the truth, eight cows will not be able to pull back. I have known him for 20 years. He has always been like this and has never changed. I really can't persuade him. Please treat me. crime."

Liu Bei shook his head and helped Luo Ge up.

"You have tried your best, and this cannot be regarded as your fault. I have no reason to blame you. Since he has such thoughts, then I will just satisfy him."

Liu Bei's subordinates were very dissatisfied, and they all spoke out to dissuade him.

"What is your identity? What is his identity? How is he qualified to fight with you?"

"In your capacity, it is only a matter of one sentence to directly order him to be shot. How can you fight him?"

"Your safety is the most important thing, I can't just watch you do dangerous things!"

"The thief obviously doesn't want to surrender! Please also order to surround the city with a large army and capture the city!"

Not to mention Jia Xu and Xun You, even Cheng Pu and Han Dang and other generals could not accept this condition. They tried to dissuade Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to take a tougher stance to completely wipe out this army and that arrogant warrior.

Liu Bei thought about it, and felt that this was also the case. The other party was indeed a little arrogant.

But he didn't want to fight an unnecessary battle, so he looked at the six main generals who followed him.

"Since I don't attack, then you guys can fight that guy instead of me. Let me think about it..."

Liu Bei's eyes wandered among the six people, and finally fixed on Yan Xing.

Thinking of his record of almost killing Ma Chao in individual combat, he can be sure that he has relatively strong individual combat ability, so Liu Bei named Yan Xing and asked Yan Xing to attack and fight Du Hu.

Yan Xing was very happy, and immediately said that he would defeat Du Hu's arrogance for Liu Bei.

When Du Hu heard about this, he didn't object. He nodded and agreed to the battle, so Yan Xing and Du Hu started a frontal battle on the outskirts of the city, where the two armies inside and outside the city were facing each other.

To be honest, Liu Bei, who grew up reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was fascinated by such things as fighting generals before the battle, and felt that this was something that could really make the battlefield exciting.

But only after he was in this era did he realize that fighting generals in front of the battle is not the mainstream of war at any time. It can only be said that in some special situations, there will be single-handed duels between generals as a condition to boost morale .

In most other cases, on the battlefield, military generals are the key protection objects firmly protected by personal soldiers. Before the personal soldiers die, generals are generally not in any danger.

Just kidding, how much resources a successful general needs to spend to cultivate it, people who have not experienced it personally cannot understand it.

Such a precious military resource has to die on the battlefield of personal force, no matter how you think about it, it is not worth it.

Military generals are concerned with the outcome of wars and the survival of the army. They will not take personal risks until critical and special moments. Even if they charge, they often charge with elite guard cavalry. The main gains are obtained by personal soldiers. Finally do something symbolic that finalizes the deal.

The current situation is indeed quite special, and it does not often appear on the battlefield, but once it does, everyone is very excited, looking forward to the results of the front-line fighters, and cheering and encouraging them.

Yan Xing is a typical northwestern man, tall and strong. After joining Liu Bei's command, because of the sufficient food and care of the army, he has more strength and a more majestic figure.

And Du Hu is also a burly man, with a swollen face, rough, yellow and black skin, he looks like a gorilla jumping out of the mountain forest, he belongs to the kind of long-term prison type, and he can tell it at a glance This kid is definitely not a good person.

The two met in front of the battle, spoke harsh words to each other, and then both sides beat their drums to cheer each other up. The two rode forward and started a round of fighting.

Du Hu didn't want to lose face, Yan Xing wanted to show himself well in front of Liu Bei no matter what, and no one was willing to lose, so a fierce fight started as soon as they came up.

Du Hu fought Yan Xing with a knife produced by his tribe, while Yan Xing fought with him with a ring-shouldered knife made by the Han army. Desperate state.

Relying on his own strength, Du Hu fiercely swung the knife in his hand to slash Yan Xing. Not to be outdone, Yan Xing raised his knife to fight him. Repeated several times, the knife in Du Hu's hand suddenly broke, and Yan Xing moved forward with a knife. He was about to hit Du Hu, but he stopped his hand at that moment.

"Admit defeat?"

Yan Xing stared at Du Hu.

Du Hu gritted his teeth and glared at Yan Xing.

"It's the knife that broke, not me! How can I admit defeat?"

"it is good!"

Yan Xing dropped the knife and started a hand-to-hand fight with Du Hu.

The two started a hand-to-hand fight similar to wrestling in front of the battle without using weapons. The tiger roared again and again, and even hugged and rolled on the ground, dust flying in front of the battle.

The two armies beat their drums to cheer each other, shouting loudly, cheering for each other's players, blushing and thick neck.

In the end, Du Hu was exhausted and was punched in the face by Yan Xing several times in a row. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his mouth and nose were bleeding.

Yan Xing stood up with his tired body, raised his fist towards the Han army camp, and roared, declaring his bravery.

The victory and defeat have been divided, and the Han army camp burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Liu Bei personally stepped forward to support Yan Xing, hugged him, and wiped the dirt and sweat off his face.

"Beautiful job! As expected of the person I fancy!"

Yan Xing giggled, his face full of trepidation.

Du Hu was defeated, but he didn't change his mind. He honestly kept his promise, opened the city gate, ordered his troops to leave the city, handed over their weapons, and surrendered to the Han army.

The Han army also kept their promise, did not harm them, accepted their surrender, collected their weapons and entered the city in line to check the situation in the city.

Liu Bei called a military doctor in the army to apply medicine to Du Hu and bandage the wound. Luo Ge followed Liu Bei and accused Du Hu angrily.

"There was no need for so many twists and turns, but you insisted on doing such a thing. Now that you are beaten up, you still have to open the city. Are you satisfied? Why don't you know how to work around and save these unnecessary things?"

Du Hu looked indifferent.

"If I don't get this beating, I won't be convinced. After this beating, I will know that General Liu is worthy of the name, and my subordinates will also know that General Liu has very powerful warriors under his command. Only in this way will they surrender willingly. Otherwise, there are many things to do."

Liu Bei listened on the sidelines, and suddenly had a different view of Du Hu, and gave him a high look.
