Chapter 667: Reversing the Situation is Easy

However, for Dian Wei, his consciousness was almost completely submerged by pain. His body was almost mechanically and frantically hacking and killing the enemy soldiers who approached him, without the slightest thought of escaping.

Persist!

Persist!!

Persist!!!

The longer I persist, the more hope my lord has of escaping.

In a daze, Dian Wei seemed to see a clear picture of everything in the past: killing people to avoid disaster in the mountains for a friend, meeting Xiahou when chasing tigers across streams, and being appreciated and reused by his lord in the army for lifting the tooth flag with one arm and being given the title "Evil Lai"…

Suddenly, Dian Wei felt an unprecedented lightness in his body. A Zhangba Serpent Spear pierced through Dian Wei's chest, and the originally frantic movements finally came to a halt.

At the moment of this pause, seven more cavalry spears pierced into Dian Wei's body from different directions.

The next moment, as the Zhangba Serpent Spear and the seven cavalry spears were withdrawn at the same time.

Dian Wei, whose body had long been completely stained red with blood, and even the pierced wounds no longer had obvious blood flowing out, seemed to have lost the strength to support himself.

"Bang!"

Just as Dian Wei's body was about to fall, Dian Wei unbelievably extracted another trace of strength, raised his foot and stomped heavily, stabilized his body, raised the iron halberd in his hand, and once again assumed a posture ready to fight.

This scene surprised everyone, including Zhang Fei.

Not to mention that Dian Wei had been seriously injured by the fire, and had been injured repeatedly after fighting for so long, but he had just been stabbed by the Zhangba Serpent Spear and seven cavalry spears. I am afraid that his internal organs were already riddled with holes. How could he still move?

After a full three breaths, Zhang Fei's heart moved, and he walked straight to the motionless Dian Wei, only to find that Dian Wei, who was still standing on the bridge, had already stopped breathing.

"A true warrior."

Zhang Fei sighed, and the eyes of the surrounding cavalry also showed awe towards Dian Wei.

Just as a cavalry soldier stepped forward to cut off Dian Wei's head as a military merit as usual, Zhang Fei opened his mouth to stop him.

"The Cao thieves are despicable and hateful, but the corpse of such a warrior should not be destroyed. Let him keep his whole body…"

After a pause, Zhang Fei's eyes fell on the pair of iron halberds in Dian Wei's hand, and he directly took them over, saying.

"This iron halberd can be taken away as a souvenir."

Immediately, Zhang Fei turned over and mounted the Taxue Wuzhui horse that had been led over, and looked towards the south bank. Cao Cao had long disappeared without a trace.

More importantly, Zhang Fei's cavalry had been fighting back and forth for a long time, and they were also exhausted and suffered some losses.

As the Cao army gradually reacted, many Cao generals vaguely began to lead their trusted troops to gather the defeated soldiers. Even if they continued to charge, the results would be limited, and the losses of the cavalry would inevitably begin to increase sharply.

Immediately, Zhang Fei shouted in a thunderous voice and began to lead the scattered cavalry to retreat.

Some Cao generals wanted to stop them, but they had no way to do so, and could only watch the cavalry, which had been fighting back and forth for a long time, quickly retreat.

…

In a camp that was mostly built in the rear, Cao Cao, who was still in shock, fled back to the main tent. Without paying attention to Xun You, who had a very low sense of existence in the tent, he frequently ordered to meet the defeated soldiers of various departments and reorganize the army…

However, before Cao Cao could respond, he learned that Zhang Fei had already led the cavalry away.

This result gave Cao Cao the feeling that he had punched the air with his last breath. The whole person sat blankly in the tent, following the return of Cao generals one by one, waiting for the reports of the results one by one.

Xiahou Jie, Xiahou En, and Cao Anmin all died in battle…

"Brother, I counted carefully. Half of Dian Wei's body was severely burned, and he had thirteen arrow wounds, two knife wounds, and eleven large and small spear wounds. Although his body died, he still stood upright, and the blood in his body was almost drained."

Listening to Xiahou Dun's report with a bit of grief, Cao Cao seemed to be hit hard again. The headache attacked again, causing Cao Cao's face to be contorted in pain.

However, at a time when the morale of the army was low, Cao Cao did not dare to show the slightest timidity, and tried his best to remain calm and said.

"All of you go out and let me be quiet for a while."

"Yes."

The crowd, all covered in dust or embarrassed, slowly withdrew from the main tent, allowing the main tent to return to silence.

Ten breaths after everyone left, Cao Cao couldn't help but roar in a low voice, "It hurts me so much!"

This feeling of a splitting headache seemed to last only thirty breaths, or it seemed to last one or two hours. After the headache completely subsided, Cao Cao was like he had been fished out of the water.

However, when Cao Cao sat back down, he suddenly found Xun You standing motionless in the corner of the tent.

"Gongda, why didn't you obey the order and leave the main tent?"

Cao Cao said with a normal expression, but there was a bit more murderous intent and annoyance in his eyes.

The reason why he did not immediately order the execution of Xun You, who dared to disobey his orders, was because Cao Cao considered Xun You's status as Xun Yu's nephew and was worried that it would cause Xun Yu to be dissatisfied.

Xun You did not rush to answer, but looked at Cao Cao's calm expression, which seemed to have buried all negative emotions.

'After a great defeat, he did not show any signs of decadence or discouragement. He has murderous intentions in his heart, but there is not the slightest ripple on the outside… A true hero.'

At this moment, Xun You finally had a bit more approval of Xun Yu's judgment, and sighed secretly in his heart.

'But uncle ultimately underestimated Marquis Guoshi. This time he was defeated so thoroughly. With just these remnants of defeated soldiers, it would be even more risky to reverse the situation.'

Xun You, who had rushed from Tan County at this moment, originally had the idea of taking another look at the direction of the situation.

But what Xun You never expected was that he had just arrived when he learned that Cao Cao had suffered a great defeat that almost cost him his life.

However, this allowed Xun You to see a side of Cao Cao that was worth paying attention to. He was still calm and composed in the face of such a great defeat.

At this moment, Xun You finally confirmed that Cao Cao was definitely not a mediocre person who was only ruthless to outsiders, but a ruthless and tenacious hero.

Without such a state of mind and courage to be reborn from adversity, the strategy that Xun Yu and Xun You discussed would be useless to Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao stared at Xun You's foolish look, and had already reached the point of impatience in his heart. Just as he was about to order the arrest of Xun You, whose intentions were unknown.

Xun You stepped forward and bowed.

When Xun You stood up again, the foolish look on his face remained the same, but the eyes that were usually absent-minded appeared deep and wise.

This made Cao Cao subconsciously swallow back the words he was about to say. At the same time, Xun You said a sentence in a calm tone, which shocked Cao Cao so much that he stood up on the spot.

"I have a plan that can help you reverse the situation and lay the foundation for your hegemony."

Cao Cao walked up to Xun You, even without bothering to put on his shoes, and said urgently. "If you can help me achieve hegemony, I will definitely not let you down."

Xun You looked down at Cao Cao's bare feet, and listened to Cao Cao's words that his first reaction was not to question but to promise great favor.

Even if Xun You was not sure how much of it was acting, he still inevitably felt a bit of emotion and said.

"I dare not speak rashly, but reversing the situation… is easy."
