Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Reestablish Oneself in the World
With a jug of wine among flowers, alone I drink, unaccompanied by anyone I know. I raise my cup to invite the bright moon, including my shadow, a party of three I throw.
The moon does not know how to drink her share. In vain my shadow follows me here and there. The moon and shadow are for now my companions, let’s enjoy life while our young hearts glow.
As I sing, the moon lingers around; As I dance, my shadow moves in disarray. Wake up with friends, happy, drunk dispersed. Our friendship will outshine all earthly love. Next time we’ll meet beyond the stars above.
In the garden, a young man with a delicate appearance was holding a glass of wine and chanting the famous poem “Drunken Under the Moon” written by Li Bai, the great poet of later generations.
Beside the back garden, there were a few maids who were only thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing emerald-green loose-floral skirts, recording something.
These maids were also extraordinary. Many of them were children of wealthy families and were literate. They were forced to be sold as slaves because of the war.
Right now, as they listened to the young master’s words, they were all remembering to record this eternal supreme sentence. At the same time, the slightly elegant maidservant’s expression became even more sad as she understood the meaning behind this sentence.
Why would such a poem be spoken by a youth? Seeing that he was dressed in cotton clothes and silk, and that there was fine wine and delicacies in front of him, he shouldn’t have such a feeling.
In fact, who knew what he really thought? Suddenly, he came from one world to another, far away from his brothers and friends. That feeling of longing was always in his heart. This was the last sentence of Xiangmiao Yunhan. Perhaps only when he died would his soul be able to ascend in front of his true relatives.
The young man’s name was Zhang Chao, Zhiyuan. Originally, the word “Meng Gao” was changed to “Zhiyuan” in response to a strong request. It could also be interpreted as “concentrating on one’s ambitions.”
Of course, this Zhang Chao was only his current name. His original name was Li Chuang, a leader of the armed forces in the Golden Triangle Region. The area of influence was rich in gold, jade, and luxuriant drugs. They were attacked by one of the rulers, Sha Kun.
Compared to Sha Kun’s forces, his background was not enough. Although he had won a few rounds of encirclement and suppression battles under his various tactics, he was still powerless to return to the heavens. In the end, he was surrounded by a mountain peak and waited for death. After that, he fell asleep under exhaustion.
When he woke up, he discovered that the 21st century, which was full of advanced science and technology, had actually arrived at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was filled with smoke and beacons.
The same chaotic war was happening, but now it was a separatist regime, more chaotic than the Golden Triangle region on the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos.
Suddenly, there were no computers, cars, telephones, and the Internet. This made a modern person extremely unaccustomed. Fortunately, the person he possessed in his body had a decent background. At the very least, he had a brother, Zhang Miao, who was very good to him and had very strong abilities.
Miao word Meng Zhuo, Dongping Shouzhang (now Dongping County, Shandong Province), is now Chen Liu satrap position.
The current Li Chuang, no, it should be said that the place where Zhang Chao was staying was the independent Second Childe Prefecture. Compared to the chaos outside, this place was still very peaceful.
The reason for the chaos outside was because the Yellow Scarf Uprising had already begun, and in a very short period of time, it swept across the eight continents of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu. Chen Liu, who now belonged to Yanzhou, naturally became confused.
However, due to Chen Liu’s geographical location, although this place was also threatened, it was not serious. On the contrary, there were quite a few outsiders who came to flee, causing prices to soar and people’s livelihoods to be in dire straits. Of course, as for Zhang Chao, there were also some good things. For example, his eldest brother, Zhang Miao, had paid a small price to get a lot of learned maids to serve him, who seemed to be born with literary talent, and he hadn’t buried some of the good poems he casually read.
The so-called good poems were all on Zhang Chao’s whim. If he wanted to preserve China for 5,000 years, how much cultural wealth would he leave behind? He could casually take out a few of them and call them quatrains. After being reported to others, he gradually didn’t know who called them literary stars.
Zhang Miao was famous for his chivalry when he was young, his family was wealthy, his wealth was loose, and he made friends widely. The people he admired the most were those with knowledge and martial arts skills. But now, his own younger brother was such a knowledgeable person, so how could he not be happy?
Although Zhang Miao couldn’t figure it out, Why did his younger brother suddenly have such literary talent? However, this was a good thing for the Zhang Clan, So he gave his full and unconditional support, In order for his second brother to display his talent, it could be said that he had given the green light to everything that his brother wanted to do. Apart from killing and setting fire, he had also agreed to everything that his brother wanted to do. In fact, he had even specially bought a lot of knowledgeable fugitive rich girls for his younger brother, so as not to let every wonderful sentence escape from the dust.
It also allowed Zhang Chao to quickly adapt to this place after arriving here for three months, and he even managed to capture a rare piece of true feelings. In his previous life, he was an orphan, and he never knew who his parents were. In this world, this big brother, Zhang Miao, was extremely good to him.
“Second Young Master, did you send it to Lord Governor after you finished writing the Sutra for yourself in the first month?” A young woman dressed differently from other ordinary maids came to Zhang Chao’s side and asked in a soft voice.
This woman’s name was Bai Tong. She was once the young miss of a large family. Later, because her place was occupied by the Yellow Scarf Army and her parents were killed, she fled to Chen Liu with her servants. She was sent by Zhang Miao to serve Zhang Chao. Because of her good knowledge, she became the head of a group of maids.
“En, Tong’er, you don’t need to send your beer to your elder brother for the first month. Take it and hang it at our Zhang Clan restaurant. Isn’t today the day when Heroes are drunk? Take it as a gift for me.” Zhang Chao glanced at this young woman who could definitely participate in the Miss World beauty pageant, regardless of whether it was her face or figure, and laughed. Infinite YY also arose in his heart. Having such a beauty accompanying him every day was different from his previous life when he looked at some soldiers who were covered in stench. He felt that it was really awesome.
Every time he thought of these things, Zhang Chao’s heart would be filled with excitement. If it weren’t for the fact that he was still too young, he would have already pounced on him like a wolf.
In the entire Second Childe Manor, only Zhang Chao addressed Bai Tong as such. She had resisted at the beginning because she was only a few months younger than Zhang Chao. She was also born in 168 AD, but now she was only sixteen years old.
However, Bai Tong’er still felt a little embarrassed when she was addressed as such by Zhang Chao, who was also only sixteen years old. More importantly, in that era, many girls were married on the thirteenth day of the nineteenth century. This time, she understood much more about men and women than she did. She knew very well what it meant to be called by a boy like this. She was a little embarrassed.
However, after resisting for many times, it didn’t have any effect. Instead, it caused Zhang Chao to laugh even louder. In the end, Bai Tong had no choice but to submit and admit this title.
Of course, Bai Tong also liked this kind of address in her heart. Ever since she entered the Second Childe courtyard, she had been deeply attracted by the man who always wore a smile and spoke in a chorus. Perhaps this was what people called love at first sight.
However, Bai Tong also knew in her heart that with her current status, it was impossible for her to expect anything. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the idea that men were superior to women was very serious. Otherwise, there would not have been a woman like clothes that Liu Da’er said. If her clothes were torn, she could still repair them.
After teasing Bai Tong, Zhang Chao stood up. Then, a maidservant handed him a gorgeous coat. Afterwards, there were also government soldiers gathered in the front yard. Everyone saw how the satrap cared about this brother, and they would definitely not let any accidents happen to him.
Under the protection of all the soldiers and guards, Zhang Chao rode on a white horse and headed towards the largest tavern in Chen Liu City, the Zhang Clan Tavern.
Riding on the horse, Zhang Chao’s face was still smiling, just like usual. However, his heart had already flown out of the sky. He was thinking of a problem, and that was to equip the horse with a stirrup.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was only a simple ordinary saddle on the warhorse. It was not that kind of high-bridge saddle. As for the stirrup, it did not exist. How could such a cavalry play an important role?
It was impossible for Zhang Chao to come to such an era without a single thought in his heart.
A great man stood proudly between heaven and earth, holding a three-foot sword and obtaining no fame in the world. Zhang Chao had such thoughts now, and Li Chuang had them since he was young.
Living in the chaotic environment of the Golden Triangle, food and clothing were all problems at that time. However, every time he saw a general leading troops appear, his eyes would be filled with envy and intoxication. At the same time, he was also yearning for it. When he grew up, he finally realized his childhood dream. He had a team of several hundred people, and under his direct leadership, he did a lot of important things. Only later did the number of troops increase to more than 8,000, which attracted Sha Kun’s attention, and then he accidentally attached his soul to Zhang Chao’s body.
After arriving at the three kingdoms of rolling smoke and ups and downs, he had to face reality. If he wanted to achieve his new dream, he had to become the ruler through his own efforts.
The heavens were good to him. The body he threw at Zhang Chao was also very decent. He was nearly eight feet long, and he was still about 1.85 meters tall. He had been eating and drinking all this time and was rich in nutrition. His body and soul were also very strong. It was really a good body.
Of course, his advantage was not just his sturdy physique and noble status. He also had another advantage that no one else had, and that was that he was familiar with the Three Kingdoms.
When he led the troops to war in the Golden Triangle, he had used many military techniques from the three kingdoms. Although he did not know who his parents were, he knew very well that he was a Chinese. It was only reasonable to use the things left behind by his ancestors and use them in practice. With this, he could make good use of others. This was naturally a very important factor, and it would also play an extremely good role in promoting and leading his great cause.
In fact, Zhang Chao had been in this world for three months, On the surface, he seemed to be skilled in literature, Tian Tian was only sighing. In fact, he had been sorting out the memories in his mind. Although he could not be said to be clear about what had happened during this period, he still remembered important people and things. After sorting out these things, he would be able to create many useful things for himself.
In the process of sorting out, Zhang Chao also let out a sigh that belonged to his heart. That was, once he arrived here, he should have a style. In this era of benevolence and righteousness being worthless, deception flying everywhere, smiling face to face, and stabbing behind his back, he should do something.
The first step he took was to brew a high-purity wine-Hero Drunk.
