When Jia Fu and Ju Guuba were fighting, there was no one within ten meters around them. Neither the Han army nor the Mang army dared to get close to them and hid far away.
After watching the battle, Dou Rong came back to his senses and glanced around secretly. Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of Liu Xiu not far away.
Dou Rong's eyes suddenly lit up. In fact, he did not know Liu Xiu, but Zhu You, Ma Wu and others rushed to protect him, which indirectly revealed Liu Xiu's identity.
Seeing Liu Xiu also staring intently at the fight between Jia Fu and Ju Wuba, Dou Rong thought for a moment and secretly said that his chance had come!
If he could capture Liu Xiu by surprise, wouldn't all the Han troops in front of him have to surrender obediently? Wouldn't it be necessary for him to fight like a giant to the death with the Han troops?
Thinking of this, Dou Rong narrowed his eyes subconsciously. While the attention of everyone around him was on Jia Fu and Ju Guuba, he quietly and slowly retreated. After retreating some distance, he turned to Liu Xiuna again. Bian slowly touched it.
As the distance between him and Liu Xiu got closer and closer, Dou Rong's heartbeat became faster and faster. Looking at Liu Xiu so close, Dou Rong's eyes flashed with twinkles.
Dou Rong's heart almost jumped out of his throat when he thought that he could capture Liu Xiu in one fell swoop. Yi, get the opportunity to rise to the top.
When Dou Rong was only five steps away from Liu Xiu, he could no longer suppress his breath and rushed forward, stabbing Liu Xiu's shoulder with the spear in his hand.
His purpose was to capture Liu Xiu alive, not to shoot him to death.
He thought that his sneak attack was 100% sure, but he still underestimated Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu was watching the battle between Jia Fu and Ju Guba, but he still paid part of his attention to observe the surroundings and check the surrounding battle situation. .
Their purpose here is not just to fight against the giants, but to stop the pursuit of the Mang army. How the battle between the brothers below and the Mang army is going is a point of great concern to Liu Xiu.
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Liu Xiu naturally had to pay attention to the situation on the entire battlefield at all times.
When he was checking the fighting situation around him, he naturally caught a glimpse of Dou Rong sneaking toward him with malicious intentions. Liu Xiu was so smart that he understood the other party's intention after just a little thought.
He smiled secretly in his heart, Dou Rong was a smart man, and he thought of the tactic of catching the thief first, but this time, he might have been mistaken for his cleverness.
Liu Xiu deliberately pretended not to know anything, not even glancing towards Dou Rong from the corner of his eye.
Dou Rong captured him unexpectedly, and he took the opportunity to trick the opponent.
When Dou Rong suddenly attacked Liu Xiu, all the Han soldiers watching the battle suddenly woke up. But they realized that something was wrong and it was too late to stop him.
Just as Dou Rong's shot was about to hit Liu Xiu's shoulder, what no one expected was that the back of Liu Xiu's head seemed to have eyes, and her body suddenly lowered.
Sha! The tip of the spear scraped against the armor on Liu Xiu's shoulder, and scratched out a series of sparks. Dou Rong never expected that Liu Xiu was alert, and at the critical moment, he incredibly dodged his own. One shot.
He secretly said bad, Liu Xiu was on guard! At this moment, Liu Xiu, who was lowering his body, unexpectedly swept out with a kick, hitting Dou Rong's ankle.
Plop! Dou Rong's body flew sideways in the air and fell heavily to the ground. Along with it, the spear in his hand was also thrown far away.
Dou Rong felt that his ankles were almost shattered by Liu Xiu's sweeping kick. He was lying on the ground and could not stand up immediately. At this time, Long Yuan and Long Zhun rushed over from the left and right, holding two swords.
, and landed on his neck at the same time.
Feeling the coldness on his neck, Dou Rong couldn't help but close his eyes. He really didn't expect that Liu Xiu could be so cunning. He was obviously on guard, but he didn't reveal it at all.
Originally, he wanted to catch the thief by surprise and capture the king first. However, Liu Xiu did the opposite and captured him by surprise.
He sighed secretly, before he had time to realize his ambitions, would he die here? He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Liu Xiu, and said: "Liu Xiu, you are all going to die soon..."
Before he could finish his words, Long Yuan kicked him on the lower back. Dou Rong grunted in pain and hunched into a ball. Long Yuan and Long Zhun pulled Dou Rong up from the ground and pulled his shoulders.
, put his back together and tied him up tightly.
Liu Xiu walked up to Dou Rong, smiled calmly, and said quietly: "Dou Rong, we rebelled against Mang, followed the way of heaven, obeyed the people's hearts, and were worthy of our ancestors. But what about you? Doing things for Wang Mang, you don't feel ashamed of Dou.
Ancestor?"
After hearing Liu Xiu's words, Dou Rong's old face turned red, he gritted his teeth and said nothing. Liu Xiu didn't say anything to him, turned around, looked around, and shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop it all!"
The first to stop were Jia Fu and Ju Guuba. They didn't know what was going on, so they each made a feint and jumped out of the circle. Then they turned around and saw Liu Xiuhe beside him, being beaten.
Dou Rong was captured alive.
Jia Fu looked happy, and Ju Guuba's face suddenly changed when he saw this. He couldn't help but take a step forward, pointed the giant hammer at Liu Xiu, and shouted loudly: "Let him go!"
Ju Wuba is a rough man, but he is not a fool. Dou Rong is Wang Yi's brother-in-law, and he has won Wang Yi's respect and trust. If Dou Rong and himself have some shortcomings when they go to war, how can Wang Yi not hate him?
Now is the time to employ people, so Wang Yi may not do anything to him. But when the Han army is defeated in the future, will Wang Yi let him go?
He had no foundation or support in the imperial court, and Wang Yi was the emperor's cousin, a relative of the emperor, and a dignified Sikong. It would be easy to kill him.
Ju Wuba, who feared neither heaven nor earth, felt a chill in his heart when he saw Dou Rong being captured by Liu Xiu, and became a little confused.
Liu Xiu had enough time to look at Ju Wuba's angry gaze, raised his head and said, "You can let me go, but let your men stop!"
Ju Wuba and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a moment and shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop it!"
The originally chaotic battlefield gradually became quiet, and the people who were fighting together quickly separated. The soldiers of the Han army retreated to Liu Xiu. There were originally five hundred brothers, but now only about a hundred people have returned.
The strength of the Mang army has also been reduced, but it seems that there are still more than 3,000 men, surrounding Liu Xiu and others.
Now that Dou Rong was in his hands, Liu Xiu felt more confident. He turned a blind eye to the many reckless troops surrounding him. He just looked at Ju Guba opposite and said: "Let all your people retreat!"
Juwuba took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Let him go first!"
Liu Xiu raised the Chixiao Sword in his hand, pointed the tip of the sword at Dou Rong's throat, and said word by word: "I am not negotiating terms with you now. I will say it again, let all your people retreat!"
Juwuba held the handle of the hammer, his knuckles turned white.
When he was hesitating, Liu Xiu sneered and said, "You don't know the relationship between Dou Rong and Wang Yi, right? If Dou Rong dies because of you, will Wang Yi let you go?"
His words were said into Ju Wu Ba's heart. This was also the problem that Ju Wu Ba was most afraid of. His body shook, and his eyes were about to burst into flames when he looked at Liu Xiu.
Dou Rong shouted loudly: "General Juguang, don't worry about me, kill Liu Xiu first, don't worry about me, kill first..."
While he was shouting, Liu Xiu's Chixiao Sword was slightly pushed forward, and the tip of the sword immediately pierced the flesh of his throat, and blood flowed out along the break in the flesh.
Feeling the coldness of the sword tip, Dou Rong couldn't help but tremble, but he still secretly gritted his teeth and yelled at Juwuba: "Don't worry about me, kill Liu Xiu first -"
Dou Rong is not afraid of death. On the contrary, he is a man with great ambitions and is more afraid of death than ordinary people. However, in the current situation, he cannot show any fear or cowardice. Otherwise, even if he survives in the end, he will not be able to return home.
Afterwards, it was difficult to explain to Wang Yi.
At this time, people on all three sides are making their own little calculations.
Liu Xiu was gambling, and he dared not worry about the relationship between Dou Rong and Wang Yi.
Dou Rong was only tough on the surface, but in reality his whole heart was in his throat, but he had to keep toughing it out. Only in this way could he minimize his faults and make an explanation after he returned.
In the end, Ju Wuba had to make a concession. He said to Liu Xiu: "I can ask them to retreat, but you have to make sure not to hurt General Dou!"
Liu Xiu said: "Of course! As long as we are safe, we will naturally let him go!"
Juwuba gasped, waved his hand to the surrounding soldiers, and said: "Get back!"
After hearing his order, the cavalry of the reckless army retreated behind Juwuba like a tide.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu said to the people around him: "Let's retreat too!" While speaking, he held a sword in one hand and held Dou Rong in the other, facing Ju Wu Ba, and stepped back step by step.
They took a step back, and Ju Guuba and other reckless soldiers followed suit. The distance between the two sides always remained more than ten steps.
At first, Dou Rong felt strange as to why Liu Xiu didn't use him to threaten Ju Guuba and tell him not to follow up.
But soon, he figured out Liu Xiu's intention. He was obviously stalling for time. Dou Rong was not sure about the specific purpose. As far as he knew, when Liu Xiu evacuated from Xiangcheng, he took away
Families of many people.
However, those family members were not seen among the Han army. Could it be that Liu Xiu and the others were here specifically to block their own side and cover the escape of those family members?
Thinking of this, Dou Rong couldn't help but glance at Liu Xiu.
These family members are not Liu Xiu's family members at all, nor are they relatives of the Liu family, but just the family members of his men. In order to protect these people, Liu Xiu even risked his life, and only led 500 people to stop him here?
Dou Rong's eyes flickered and he looked at Liu Xiu again. Liu Xiu was only in his twenties, handsome and gentle. If he was not a fool or a lunatic, then he was a man of great wisdom and boldness.
.
Obviously, Liu Xiu cannot be the former, but only the latter. For the sake of his subordinates, he has gone to such an extent. In the future, these people will have to follow him and protect him desperately?
Liu Xiu is really not a simple person! This is the first contact between Dou Rong and Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu has left a very deep impression on Dou Rong.
