At dawn the next day, Cao Cao slowly woke up.
He opened his hazy sleepy eyes and glanced around, looking confused.
At the same time, my head felt dull and I had a splitting headache.
For a moment, Cao Cao couldn't remember what happened.
It wasn't until he saw Xiahou Dun who was in a miserable state, with his clothes and armor in tatters, that he woke up with a start.
Last night, something seemed to happen that made him collapse!
"Zhang He, where is Zhang He!"
Cao Cao didn't want to talk to Xiahou Dun and called Zhang He desperately.
A soldier immediately came forward to report.
"Reporting to the King of Wei, General Zhang is at the front to pacify the soldiers."
"Get Zhang He here, quickly!"
"As you command!"
The soldiers did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran forward to pass the message.
Not long after, Zhang He ran back in a hurry.
"King Wei, do you call the last general?"
Cao Cao struggled to his feet and grabbed Zhang He.
"Tell me! What's going on!"
Zhang He swallowed his saliva.
After a night, Zhang He was basically relieved and could speak.
"King Wei, it was dark last night and I couldn't see my fingers. This caused the misunderstanding with General Xiahou."
“I don’t want to hear the process, I want the results!”
Cao Cao roared angrily, his eyes gradually turning red.
"Tell me what the result will be!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang He couldn't help but lower his head.
But Cao Cao didn't give him a chance to bow his head and dragged his head up with his hands.
"Tell Gu!"
"Reporting to the King of Wei, the morale of our army was strong last night. The soldiers were fighting vigorously. The officers and soldiers of all armies moved forward bravely, as if they were entering uninhabited territory!"
"In the end, our army suffered only a few thousand casualties."
Cao Cao glared at Zhang He.
"Several thousand, tell me the exact number!"
Zhang He felt a little sad.
"King Wei, more than 6,000 people died and more than 3,000 people were injured."
Cao Cao was in a trance for a while.
"Thousands of people are here? Doesn't this mean tens of thousands of people were killed or injured?"
"Where is he!"
Cao Cao pointed at Xiahou Dun.
Zhang He suddenly sweated like rain.
"speak!"
The loud shout made Zhang He tremble.
"Report to the King of Wei, General Xiahou's 100,000-strong army... 100,000-strong army..."
"Dead and wounded... dead and wounded..."
Zhang He kept hesitating and refused to speak, and Cao Cao could no longer suppress his anger.
Pushing Zhang He away, he drew out his sword.
"Say! If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"
Zhang He quickly knelt down and knocked his head to the ground.
"King Wei, General Xiahou has less than ten thousand soldiers left."
"What!"
Cao Cao stumbled and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
Xiahou Dun had a total of 100,000 people under his command, but now there are only less than 10,000 left?
In addition to the 10,000 casualties in our headquarters, this is equivalent to the loss of 100,000 troops!
The war hasn't started yet, and the Han army hasn't even come into contact yet, and half of them are dead?
Is this a fight?
Cao Cao covered his chest and felt a wave of boredom and panic.
He really wanted to cry without tears!
It turns out that the one whom Invincible killed was one of his own!
It turns out that it is like entering a place where there is no one but one of your own!
turn out to be. . . turn out to be. . .
The more Cao Cao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiahou Dun kneeling on the ground, and he was instantly furious.
Everything is caused by this waste!
Cao Cao picked up his sword and looked at Xiahou Dun like crazy.
He wants to use Xiahou Dun's blood to wash away this shame!
"King Wei, please calm down!"
"King Wei, please show mercy!"
Zhang He and other generals quickly begged for mercy on behalf of Xiahou Dun, but no one came forward.
Xiahou Dun was stunned. How could he plead for others like this?
Seeing the sword hanging above his head, about to strike down in anger, Xiahou Dun also forgot to dodge and closed his eyes in fear.
At this moment, a sword suddenly appeared above Xiahou Dun's head.
when!
Such a timely sword just saved Xiahou Dun's life.
However, everyone was stunned. Who was so bold and dared to block Cao Cao's sword?
Xiahou Dun looked around and was even more stunned.
It turned out to be Sima Yi!
His former rival actually saved his life!
Even Cao Cao was a little confused.
"Zhongda, what are you doing!"
Sima Yi took back his sword and knelt on the ground.
"King Wei, calm down!"
"Now that we have defeated an army of 100,000 and mobilized our vitality, if we kill General Xiahou Dun again, wouldn't it hurt our heart?"
"Even if General Xiahou is guilty of a ten thousand-death crime, please ask the King of Wei to keep him useful and make meritorious service! Once the Han army Liu Zhang is defeated, it will not be too late to deal with him!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao's angry mood softened a lot.
Indeed, Xiahou Dun is a rare and powerful general under Cao Cao today.
There is almost no one to compare with.
If you kill Xiahou Dun, you will cut off one arm.
"Hmph! I'll spare your life today! However, your head is just on your body!"
Xiahou Dun quickly thanked him.
"Thank you so much, King Wei! I will risk my life to repay you!"
"Get out of here!"
Xiahou Dun stood up and looked at Sima Yi with complicated eyes.
After a long time, we thanked each other.
"Zhongda, thank you..."
Sima Yi smiled and quickly returned the favor.
"I have offended you so much before, please forgive me, General Xiahou!"
Xiahou Dun didn't expect Sima Yi to be so generous and apologize to him for saving him, and he felt even more guilty.
"Zhongda, I have offended many people before, but I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous and ignore the past grievances!"
"I am so ashamed of myself!"
"Hey, General Xiahou said something serious! I've offended you a lot before!"
"Zhongda..."
"General Xiahou..."
The two held hands tightly together, perfectly showing a scene of burying the hatchet and showing deep brotherly love.
However, it is somewhat inconsistent with the current situation.
"Cough cough cough..."
Not long after, Cao Cao coughed slightly and interrupted the two of them.
"Okay, let's continue our friendship after we defeat the Han army!"
"Xiahou Dun, you have led troops for many years, don't you know the taboo against leading troops to charge at night?"
"Tell me truthfully what's going on!"
Xiahou Dun nodded ashamedly.
At this point, he can only elaborate on the facts while avoiding the important ones.
"King Wei, it's like this. After I led an army of 100,000 people and rushed to the river without stopping, I found that the Han army had landed..."
