"You, you dare to stand up to me?" Shen was so angry.

He cursed in his heart: You ungrateful guy, don't you know that I want to save your life?

"Hahahaha." Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu said with a smile on the tower: "Shen, even you didn't expect me to have such a trick, right?" After that, he stopped laughing, looked at Shen Zhengse and said: "In the past, I, Xiong Hu, was greedy for life and cherished my life, but this time, I, Xiong Hu, am determined to live and die with this city. If the city is alive and the people are alive, the city will be destroyed and people will die!... Let's fight again, Shen!"

…

Listening to Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu's decisive words, Shen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He was a little annoyed by Xiong Hu's "ignorance", but at the same time he also realized that his judgment had been wrong: the Xiong Hu he saw at this moment was no longer the Xiong Hu who was greedy for life, but a person worthy of letting go. respected enemy.

I underestimated you, Xiong Hu...

After sighing with emotion, Shen turned his head and glanced at Chen Shou, then turned and left without saying a word.

Chen Shou naturally understood the meaning of Shen's look. It was simply that the latter showed that he would no longer interfere with his grudges with Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu. This was naturally a good thing for Chen Shou.

Lord Pingyu Xiong Hu... doesn't he turn out to be a cowardly and incompetent person?

After taking a deep look at the city gate tower in Pingyu County, Chen Shou slightly changed his mind about Xiong Hu.

The reason why he hates Xiong Hu deeply is that he feels that heroes like his father (Chen Bing) are not worthy of dying because of greedy and incompetent guys like Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu. But now it seems that this Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu Hu, maybe there is something to be said for it.

Of course, although his view of Huan Hu has changed slightly, this does not prevent Chen Shou from killing Xiong Hu to avenge his father and put an end to the revenge that lasted for more than 20 years.

On April 28, the Wei army generals who were deceived by Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu, together with Huan Hu's Suiyang army, launched a fierce attack on Pingyu County again.

After five days of fierce attack, the city wall of Pingyu County was once again destroyed by the Wei army's crossbow cannons.

This time, Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu did not pretend to surrender to buy time. Thinking about it, he also understood that Shen, who had been fooled once, would definitely not be fooled a second time.

On April 29, the Wei army broke through the city wall. Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu knew that the situation was over, but he still refused to surrender to the Wei army. He led his soldiers who were willing to follow him and retreated to the streets of the city, trying to start a street battle with the Wei army.

"sucker Punch……"

After learning about Xiong Hu's response, Chen Shou snorted again.

But compared to the last time, his words were a little less sarcastic, but a little more respectful.

To everyone's surprise, the Wei army, which had always been good at street fighting, defeated the Chu army in the city, forcing Xiong Hu to retreat to his mansion.

Knowing that the situation was over, Xiong Hu called his eldest son Xiong and his two sons, and told him: "Pingyu can no longer be saved. Your brothers should take your mother and sister and go to Uncle Shen quickly... …In addition, your aunt is the queen of the Wei State and is currently in Shangshui. She can ensure that your brothers will serve as officials in the Wei State in the future."

Xiong was greatly surprised when he heard this and asked: "What about you, father?"

Xiong Hu was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "As a junior, you can do some things, but as a father you can't!... As a father, I have always kept the word loyalty on my lips all my life. Now, it's time to do it for me. It’s time for my father to be loyal and righteous!”

"Father..." Xiong and his two younger brothers looked at each other. A trace of determination flashed across the faces of the three of them, and they said in a deep voice: "Father, I am willing to follow my father and serve the great Chu!"

"Asshole!"

Xiong Hu slapped Xiong on the back, and then scolded his three sons: "Shu Zi, are you going to tell me, Ping Yu, the Xiong family to be cut off?... Go away quickly!"

Intimidated by their father's majesty, the three Xiong brothers did not dare to say anything anymore, so they packed up their bags overnight and went to the Wei army's commander-in-chief, Shen.

When he learned that Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu's three sons had come to seek refuge with their families, Shen immediately called the three Xiongs to him and inquired about the situation.

Seeing this, Xiong told Shen what happened, and Shen was filled with emotion.

Xiong Hu asked his sons to surrender to the Wei army, which was not unexpected. However, people like Xiong Hu, who seemed to be greedy for life and cherished their lives, actually wanted to die for the Chu State, which shocked Shen even more.

How should I explain this to the queen...

Shen An smiled bitterly to himself.

Chen Shou was next to Shen that day, so he naturally heard Xiong's words and felt silent in his heart.

The next day, the Wei army stormed the residence of Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu.

Thinking about it, you know that even the city walls of Pingyu County couldn't stop the Wei army, so how could a mere mansion stop it? Within two hours or so, the Wei army broke through the front yard of the mansion, but Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu, however, He still defended the inner courtyard with more than a hundred soldiers who were willing to die with him.

Looking at Xiong Hu from a distance, wearing armor and covered in blood, struggling to kill the enemy, Chen Shou didn't know why he didn't mean to step forward and kill the opponent himself.

...It's just that I don't want to take advantage of others.

Chen Shou secretly used Xiong Hu's injuries as an excuse.

"He...isn't willing to surrender?"

He asked Wei general Lu Zhandao not far away.

Lu Zhan shook his head, and immediately shouted to Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu again: "Xiong Hu, are you still unwilling to surrender even now?"

At this time, Xiong Hu was actually covered with wounds, but for some reason he was full of energy. Hearing this, he laughed loudly and said: "I, Xiong Hu, will not surrender to the Wei Kingdom even if I die!"

Seeing this, Lu Zhan nodded and was about to wave his hands to order his soldiers to continue attacking, but suddenly heard Xiong Hu shout: "Wait!"

To Lu Zhan's surprise, Xiong Hu still had no intention of surrender. He just saw Chen Shou, pointed at Chen Shou and shouted: "General Wei, do you dare to fight Xiong?"

"..."

Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Shou looked left and right. After looking for a long time, he realized that Xiong Hu was referring to himself.

"You? Want me to fight with you?" He asked with a strange expression: "Do you know who I am?"

"Hahaha." Xiong Hu laughed loudly and said, "You have assassinated Xiong two or three times. How can Xiong not know who you are? Come on!"

Did he deliberately give me a chance for revenge?

Chen Shou frowned, casually took a sword from the Wei soldiers beside him, walked up slowly, looked at Xiong Hu and said inexplicably: "You are no match for me."

"How do you know if you haven't fought before? Ah!"

Shouting, Xiong Hu waved the sharp sword in his hand and rushed towards Chen Shou.

However, Chen Shou just stepped aside and hooked Xiong Hu's right foot with his foot, causing the latter to fall to the ground due to inertia.

With your poor martial arts skills, how can you have the courage to fight me?

Glancing at Xiong Hu who fell to the ground, Chen Shou shook his head secretly.

It has to be said that the gap in martial arts between the two is so great that even if Chen Shou showed only two or three points of his skills, he could easily defeat Xiong Hu.

The level of ease even made Chen Shou feel that it was extremely stupid for him to regard Xiong Hu as his enemy.

However, Xiong Hu didn't seem to be discouraged. He struggled to get up again, looked at Chen Shou and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect the gap to be so big, but... try again!"

"..." After looking deeply at Xiong Hu for a while, Chen Shou was silent for a moment, and then a sentence burst out of his mouth as if with great difficulty: "That's it for now, Xiong Hu... surrender, I won't kill you. "

Xiong Hu was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed loudly and said: "As the enemy who killed your father, if I die in the hands of other Wei soldiers, won't you regret it for the rest of your life? What's more, I, Xiong Hu, have never thought of doing it intentionally. If you die in your hands, does your father die because of me? What does it have to do with me?... Come! Let Xiong Hu see your true strength!"

…

Chen Shou took a deep look at Xiong Hu, with a hint of respect in his eyes. He clenched the sword in his hand and assumed a posture to fight the enemy for the first time.

"As you wish!"

On April 29, the ninth year of Wei Zhaowu, Wei generals Shen, Huan Hu, and Chen Shou captured Pingyu County.
