Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Recommendation
“Lord Cao is back.” The voice of QinBing came from outside the tent. Then, he saw a short and fat man in armor walking into the tent. He was not good looking, but his temperament was extraordinary.

The person who came was Cao Cao. As soon as he entered the tent, Huangfu Song, Zhu Yao, and Zhang Miao’s gaze immediately stopped on him.

Although they knew the strength of the two sides, they didn’t have much hope, but when they saw that Cao Cao had returned, especially at this moment, he was still a dragon walking with tiger strides, a complacent state. Everyone still focused their gazes on him, hoping for some good news.

As soon as Cao Cao entered the tent, his gaze swept across everyone’s expressions. Then, he chuckled and said, “My lords, this time, I did not catch up to Bo Cai, but I did succeed in killing the opponent’s Great General He Yi. This is his corpse.” After he finished speaking, he raised a wooden box with a human head high up in the air.

When they heard that they hadn’t caught up with Bo Cai, everyone was a little disappointed, but when they heard that He Yi had been beheaded, they immediately became excited again.

Even if they wanted to fight against the Yellow Scarf Thief, it would naturally be a bit too much for their camp. He Yi had seen him before and knew that he still had some strength. I didn’t expect Cao Cao to actually kill a member of the other party’s general, so it seems that this trip is not empty.

“Hurry up and hand it over.” Huangfu Song was above the head seat, and after hearing Cao Cao’s words, he said anxiously.

Immediately, a QinBing took the wooden box and delivered it to Huangfu Song. He couldn’t wait to open it, and then saw He Yi’s head lying in good condition.

“That’s right, it’s this person.” After seeing this head, Huangfu Song said with certainty. When he looked at Cao Cao, he already had some admiration.

Seeing Huangfu Song looking at him like this, Cao Cao began to regret. Why didn’t he kill this person? Looks like Zhang Chao is going to make a contribution this time.

On the other hand, even if Zhang Chao had made a contribution, he was still the biggest beneficiary. Without waiting for Huangfu Song to ask anything, he took the initiative to say, “Lord Zuozhonglang, I have found the person who set the fire to kill the Yellow Scarf Thief and made the first contribution.”

When Huangfu Song, who was about to praise Cao Cao, heard that he had found the arson master, his expression immediately lifted and he asked, “Oh, who is it?”

No wonder Huangfu Song was so excited. He had already asked around the barracks just now, but no one knew who had acted first. Originally, it was Cao Cao and Zhang Miao who made the move, but now that he knew that it wasn’t, he was somewhat confused. He didn’t even know how to write the letter of merit that he wanted to send to the Imperial Court.

Huangfu Song was not a meritorious person, his personality made him do everything very seriously. Whoever did it was the one who did it. Even if he didn’t know if it was empty, he wouldn’t write randomly.

Originally, he wanted to ask Cao Cao if he knew who the arsonist was, but he didn’t think that he would take the initiative to say it out loud, so he had such an excited expression.

Looking at Huangfu Song’s excited expression, Cao Cao did not immediately reply. Instead, he turned his gaze to Zhang Miao, who was standing beside him, and said, “Satrap Zhang, I have let you down this time.”

“Brother Meng De, what do you mean?” Zhang Miao asked in confusion. In fact, he was really a person who had been kept in the dark.

‘”Ah, it’s a long story. It’s not a day or two since you brought people to the Changshe, but seeing that there’s no better way to deal with the Yellow Scarf Thief, and that you sent someone back to Chen Liu to rush for food, I secretly arranged for someone to find your younger brother. They all said that Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhiyuan came down from the mortal world, so I wondered if he would have a good idea.”

As he spoke, Cao Cao shook his head.

“How is it?” Unexpectedly, Zhang Miao became very nervous. He loved his younger brother very much. He had always been both a brother and a father. Especially Zhang Chao’s recent performance made him very satisfied. He didn’t bring him this time because he wanted to leave him in the safest place. But looking at Cao Cao’s current appearance, it seemed like something had happened. How could he not be anxious?

Zhang Miao was so anxious that his eyes even had a trace of blood red. This was partly because he had slept all night, and most of them were really anxious.

Cao Cao was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, “Meng Zhuo, don’t panic. Things aren’t what you think. The other thing is that it’s still intact. You just need to be at ease.”

After saying that Zhang Chao was fine, Zhang Miao’s expression relaxed.

Seeing that Zhang Miao was no longer in such a hurry, Cao Cao muttered in his heart, it was all his fault for being so mysterious. If he had known earlier, it would have been better to bring Zhang Chao directly into the tent. However, at this point in time, he could only continue, “It’s like this. Zhang Chao got my letter and thought that it was your intention to be a brother, so he hurried over with his 800 cavalry.” After arriving here, he directly rushed to the yellow scarf thief’s tent. He was the one who took the first credit for setting fire to the enemy. After that, he chased after He Yi all the way. After a bloody battle with He Yi, only one hundred of the eight hundred disciples remained. However, he did take He Yi’s head down. It just so happened that I rushed there. The two armies reported one place and killed the remaining Yellow Scarf Sins together. ”

Almost in one breath, Cao Cao gave a rough idea of the situation. Then, he turned to Huangfu Song and cupped his fists, “Lord Zuozhonglang, the one who made the first contribution to the fire attack on the enemy is Zhang Chao, the younger brother of Governor Zhang Miao. It was also this person who killed He Yi’s head.”

“Oh, so it’s like this.” Huangfu Song finally understood. He immediately pretended to be unhappy and said to Zhang Miao, who was still standing at the side, “Satrap Zhang, I say that you really are too. Obviously, your younger brother is so powerful. Why didn’t you recommend him to the court? After waiting for so long, he almost missed the big event.”

Upon hearing Huangfu Song’s complaint, Zhang Miao helplessly explained, “Lord Zuozhong Lang, I really didn’t know that his brother had such ability.” If he does have some ability in literary talent, he also has great respect for me as a brother, but this is the first time he has led troops to war. Moreover, he is not even seventeen years old, and he has no reputation. How can I recommend him to the Imperial Court? ”

What Zhang Miao said was the truth. Although Zhang Chao in history had a good appearance, was eight feet tall, and had even been a Guang Ling satrap, and had participated in the military operation against the evil thief Dong Zhuo, when it came to the real marching ability, it was only average. Otherwise, he would not have been killed so early and left the history of the Three Kingdoms.

However, this Zhang Chao was not that Zhang Chao, the current Zhang Chao’s ability was extremely strong. Not to mention marching to war, but in dealing with some matters, he had an extraordinary ability to make decisions and had the accuracy of foresight.

After hearing Cao Cao’s words, Huangfu Song really thought that Zhang Miao had his own thoughts and didn’t recommend talents to the Imperial Court, but when he heard that Zhang Chao was only less than seventeen years old, his expression was also stunned. This was somewhat beyond his expectations.

However, what he said just now was definitely irrevocable. He immediately said, “How about 17 years old? Huo Qubing, who has Feng Langju Xu, joined the army at the age of 15 or 6. Isn’t he also famous for his merits and prestige in the world? Your younger brother is almost 17 years old, and his age isn’t too young. Moreover, now that the country is employing people, I think he should be promoted.”

As soon as Huangfu Song said those words, before Zhang Miao could say anything, Cao Cao took the initiative to say, “Lord Zuozhong Lang’s words are extremely true.” At the end of the day, he had already said that when a country employs people, it is sufficient for them to have real talent regardless of their age. That is to say, Zhang Chao is young, so why don’t you give him Xiaolian first? As far as I know, he has great respect for his elder brother, Zhang Miao. Such a person would not have any moral problems. And then seal the official’s body. ”

“That’s right.” Hearing Cao Cao’s words, Huangfu Song nodded in agreement. The thing was that he had started, and he had to support him no matter what.

Hearing that everyone else was praising his younger brother’s ability, Zhang Miao was naturally happy and would naturally nod his head. Right now, only Zhu Yao remained silent.

Zhu Yue was also very serious, and his ability was not bad. Good righteousness, light wealth, dare to speak up, can be said to be the Eastern Han Dynasty in the last years of the imperial court rare talent.

He also admired Zhang Chao’s contribution to burning the Yellow Scarf Thief, but it would be a bit rash to promote him to use it. After pondering for a moment, he said, “How about this? Bring Zhang Miao to the front of everyone and let us see how heroic he is. Are we going to make a conclusion?”

He said that he wanted to see heroes, but in fact, he just wanted to inspect the goods. Everyone was well aware of this, and Huangfu Song was also afraid of being labeled as unrecognizable. He nodded and said, “That’s right, seeing a young hero is also a good thing. I wonder where he is.”

“It’s right outside the tent.” Cao Cao replied, thinking in his heart, what he could do to help was to help, what to do next depended on Zhang Chao’s own good fortune.

“Please.” Immediately after Huangfu Song shouted, QinBing went down to deliver a message.

While they were waiting in the tent, the curtains were lifted and a tall, dignified and dignified youth walked in with his head held high.

His eyes were full of spirit, and his Heavenly Court was full. His face was filled with a natural youthful and youthful aura.

The moment Zhang Chao appeared, Huangfu Song greeted him from the inside. This young man’s manner did not lose its magnanimity. He seemed to have heroic energy emanating from his body. This kind of essence energy was something that only his subordinates, the generals of the Hundred Battles, could possess. And being able to appear on this person now was truly precious.

Zhang Chao walked into the tent and bowed to Huangfu Song and Zhu Yue, “Xiaomin, Zhang Chao greets the two adults.”

After that, he turned to Cao Zuo and bowed. Finally, he looked at Zhang Miao and lowered his head deeply. “Brother, I made you worry.”

“My younger brother, please stand up. This time, you have made a great contribution to the Imperial Court. I’m happy for you, brother.” Miao watched as Zhang Chao lowered his head to his waist and hurriedly reached out to support him.
