Summary

. Liu Mang, Zhuge Liang, and Ma Zhong are conversing when Jiang Wei arrives to announce a challenge from Gao Ding, the King of the Yi. Despite the previous defeats of generals from Yizhou, Liu Mang remains optimistic about the upcoming battle. They encounter Hubei Huan, a formidable barbarian general, who mocks the Han forces. Several generals, eager to fight, volunteer, but Liu Mang points out that it’s Xing Dao Rong who will face Hubei Huan. Xing Dao Rong proposes a friendly contest limited to three moves, which Hubei Huan accepts. The duel begins, showcasing both generals' skills, but Hubei Huan soon realizes he is in a tight spot. After a few exchanges, both combatants show mutual respect, and Liu Mang recognizes Xing Dao Rong's potential. Despite their differences, Hubei Huan retreats, suggesting a possible future confrontation. Xing Dao Rong impresses Liu Mang and expresses willingness to persuade Hubei Huan to surrender, noting his skills rival those of other top generals. Zhuge Liang supports this idea, suggesting that barbarians respond well to straightforwardness, making Xing Dao Rong’s approach likely more effective than theirs. Liu Mang humorously implies that both Xing Dao Rong and Hubei Huan share a mutual appreciation for each other's skills. .
