    侯音、衛開等以宛叛,德將所領與曹仁共攻拔宛,斬音、開,遂南屯樊。討關羽,樊下諸將以德兄在漢中,頗疑之。〈《魏略》曰:德從兄名柔,時在蜀。〉德常曰:「我受國恩,義在效死。我欲身自擊羽。今年我不殺羽,羽當殺我。」後親與羽交戰,射羽中額。時德常乘白馬,羽軍謂之白馬將軍,皆憚之。仁使德屯樊北十里,會天霖雨十餘日,漢水暴溢,樊下平地五六丈,德與諸將避水上堤。羽乘船攻之,以大船四面射堤上。德被甲持弓,箭不虛發。將軍董衡、部曲將董超等欲降,德皆收斬之。自平旦力戰至日過中,羽攻益急,矢盡,短兵接戰。德謂督將成何曰:「吾聞良將不怯死以苟免,烈士不毀節以求生,今日,我死日也。」戰益怒,氣愈壯,而水浸盛,吏士皆降。德與麾下將一人,五伯二人,彎弓傅矢,乘小船欲還仁營。水盛船覆,失弓矢,獨抱船覆水中,為羽所得,立而不跪。羽謂曰:「卿兄在漢中,我欲以卿為將,不早降何為?」德罵羽曰:「竪子,何謂降也!魏王帶甲百萬,威振天下。汝劉備庸才耳,豈能敵邪!我寧為國家鬼,不為賊將也。」遂為羽所殺。太祖聞而悲之,為之流涕,封其二子為列侯。
