Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Changshe Battle
“Haha, no wonder Commandant Cao recommended Xiaolian. This name is not empty.” Seeing that Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao were brothers, Huangfu Song spoke.

Being praised like this, Zhang Chao hurriedly turned around and said, “Thank you, Lord Huangfu, for your praise. My parents weren’t here at an early age. I treat my eldest brother like a father, so it’s only natural that I respect him.”

“Good, good.” Hearing Zhang Chao’s modesty, Huangfu Song couldn’t help but nod in admiration and satisfaction. At this time, the young Zhang Chao pushed filial piety and honesty in his heart seemed to be more certain.

Zhu Yao also saw what happened to Zhang Chao after he entered the tent, and his impression of him was quite good. However, the other party was still too young, so he still wanted to test it out.

“Cough!” With a light cough, he shifted everyone’s attention to him. He then turned to Zhang Chao, who was standing in the arena, and said, “I just heard that Commandant Cao said that you are a literary star descending to the mortal world. Haha, I wonder if it’s true or false.”

“Lord Zhu, this is naturally fake.” Zhang Chao replied with a shocking tone. Fortunately, he quickly replied, “This is just a show of love. In fact, I still have a lot to learn.”

Zhang Chao’s explanation was even more modest and courteous, and he couldn’t help but win everyone’s good impression.

“Haha, this is a courteous remark. This is indeed a bit of learning. I wonder if you can write a poem? Let my martial artist learn it as well.” What he said was learning, Zhu Yue really did not have the slightest intention to learn. Actually, everyone understood that this was just a live test.

At that time, scholars could be considered respected, especially those scholars born in large clans. If they could praise a good poem, it would be easy for them to name themselves and receive attention.

Zhu Yanhui said this because he wanted to make Zhang Chao famous while taking the exam. After all, he was the only one among the few who had requested to see someone to settle other matters. Now that he saw someone, it was indeed very satisfying. That was to say, there must be an explanation.

Of course, there were two ways of saying this. If Zhang Chao could recite a good poem, then everyone would naturally be happy. From then on, the official’s body would be smooth and smooth, needless to say.

On the contrary, if he couldn’t do it, then it would prove that what he was praised by others before was all fake. Such a mediocre imperial court would naturally not be useful.

Who said that Zhu Yue was a martial artist? From this matter, it could be seen that he was very resourceful. When the matter was settled, it was naturally him who discovered the talent and provided him with an opportunity to show it. Otherwise, he would have exposed a fake intellectual who lied to others.

“Writing poetry?” Hearing this, Zhang Chao was also stunned. He had never thought of such a test. He understood that he had to meet him before he could decide on something. It was even normal for him to ask other questions. However, if he was allowed to write poetry, this was something he had never thought about.

Speaking of which, Zhang Chao wasn’t very interested in doing something like poetry. He had to compare it. He still liked his old profession, which was leading troops to war. However, now that Zhu Yao had asked this question, he couldn’t dodge it no matter what.

Fortunately, during his stay in Chen Liucheng these past few days, he had earned praise by composing poems. He had even racked his brains to think of many famous phrases that could be remembered.

However, when he suddenly thought about it, there were indeed few suitable ones. He could not say that the moon was shining in front of the window, and it was suspected that the frost on the ground was so well-known, but in fact, it was a poem that did not suit the scenery.

The most important thing in composing poetry is to meet the needs of the scene. Although Zhu Yue did not give a theme, he did know that the occasion was a necessity, otherwise, it would be meaningless to do well.

After hearing Zhu Yao’s words, the few of them focused their gazes on Zhang Chao. He knew that there was not much time left for him. This was an important opportunity for him to stand out. If he did, he would naturally have a bright future waiting for him, and his official career would become smoother. On the other hand, if he didn’t do it well, not only would it be useless, he would also gain a bad reputation.

The ancients’ greatest reputation could be said to be their foundation.

With a step forward, Zhang Chao began to think about some relevant poems and words related to the situation.

Last night’s battle, he was the first to attack. He used fire to attack. For a moment, the poems about fire began to gather rapidly. A song about looking at thistle gate couldn’t help but jump into his mind. After quickly changing his vocabulary, Zhang Chaoyu said, “Yesterday’s battle was to break the siege of the Changshe Society. Then I’ll chant a song about the Changshe Society War.”

As he spoke, Zhang Chao took another step forward and said, “The beacon fire in the battlefield burns the yellow scarf.”

After saying this, everyone in the tent nodded. This was definitely a work of the moment. It was impossible to think of a poem that could test a person’s ability to perform poems and songs.

After a chant, Zhang Chao’s second sentence was followed by, “Everyone has the will to support the Chang Clan.” After a slight hesitation, he said directly, “Although Young Master is not a pen-throwing official, I still wish to invite you to participate in the merit discussion.”

The four poets completed their poems in one go. This is about expressing the ambition of meritorious service to the country, specifically depicting the tension seen last night, thus stimulating the poet to surrender to the military, calm down the border troubles, meritorious service to the country’s ambitions.

The poem is vast and magnificent, full of masculine beauty, with the generosity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the portrayal of the poet’s love for the motherland and mountains and rivers, and the ambition of devoting to the battlefield to serve the country, is an inspiring patriotic movement.

This was Tang Shi’s work, and it was indeed used by Zhang Chao in advance.

After saying those four words, Zhang Chao also stopped moving and looked towards Huangfu Song.

At this moment, Huangfu Song was still reading the four poems. After he understood the meaning of the poems, he saw him slapping his thigh and saying, “Good poem, good poem.”

“That’s right. It is indeed a good poem. It is both timely and inspiring. It is indeed a good poem.” Cao Cao, who had also studied Shi Dao deeply and had even created such poems as “Xielu Xing”, “Hao Li Xing”, “Bitter Cold Xing” and “Walking Out of Xia Men Xing”, was the first to interpret the poetic intent, so he couldn’t help but speak from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Chao listened to the praise and said in his heart, “Of course, it’s so wet. This has already shocked him to the point of wet sweat all over his body.”

Once the song “Long Society Battle” was released, Zhu Ya was speechless. He was completely relieved of Zhang Chao. This was truly a young man who did not have much to do.

Zhang Miao was naturally happy to the side. He had always admired his younger brother’s poetic ability, and this time, he did not disappoint anyone.

With this poem as a prose, Huangfu Song agreed to be Zhang Chao’s recommendation. On the other hand, Zhu Yao and Cao Cao also had the same intention. For a time, the recommendation letter signed by the three of them and the report on the victory of the Long Society Battle were also good. They were handed over to the Clipper Knights and sent to Luoyang, the capital.

The matter with the Chang She had finally come to an end. In the next few days, Huangfu Song and Zhu Yao still needed to continue to pursue the Yellow Scarf Thief, and then seize the victory to suppress the Yellow Scarf Army in Runan and Chen Country.

Cao Cao and Zhang Miao came to the rescue, which was considered to have completed the task perfectly. The two of them were instructed to remove the remaining evil spirits of the yellow scarf nearby, in order to ensure the safety of this area. In this way, Zhang Chao was free. After all, he still didn’t have any duties.

“Zhiyuan, you should go back to Chen Liu. After all, that’s the safest place.”

Zhang Miao was concerned about his brother’s safety and said sincerely, “As for me, I can solve the problem here in a few days. I will naturally go back then. Don’t worry.”

There was no point in knowing that he had stayed behind. This time, he had already revealed himself, and even if he had obtained some small merits, it would only be an added bonus. Zhang Chao, who was confident that the five carts of treasures and Chen Liucheng were safe, agreed. “Alright, brother will give the order. Brother will obey.”

At this moment, Zhang Chao wasn’t worried about his brother’s safety. Although with cao “conceal together, but at this time cao cao also didn’t think of usurping the han dynasty, now he just want to do a tentative jiangshan governance ministers and oneself. However, once the general trend of the world was activated, even if he had a certain amount of power and status, he would not be able to determine his own fate.

What Zhang Chao needed to do now was to accumulate as much of his strength as possible before the chaos. At that time, regardless of whether the situation was good or bad, he had the strength to resist. At worst, he was stronger than the real Zhang Chao who had committed suicide.

In the afternoon three days after Huangfu Song and Zhu Yue left with their army, he left the periphery of the Chang She with the hundred cavalry and headed straight for Chen Liu.

“Lord, you have made a great contribution this time. The Imperial Court should give you a reward, right?” Without outsiders, Zhao Yun and Zhang Chao asked while the cavalry was moving slowly.

Zhang Chao’s expression turned guilty as he said, “Zilong, I owe you this time. You were the one who killed He Yi. I stole it from you. I really don’t know what to say.”

Zhang Chao suddenly apologized, and Zhao Yun’s face was shocked, “Master, you absolutely must not say that. You are the master, and the credit is naturally yours.” He said that if it wasn’t for your strategy, it would have been impossible to kill the enemy so smoothly. Zhao Yun was just taking action. ”

Zhao Yun was afraid that his words would be misinterpreted, as if he wanted to steal credit, but he really didn’t think so.

“Zilong, I know your temperament and what you mean, but I still snatched your credit. I’m really embarrassed. To say that I, Lord, am really a bit of a loser now. I don’t have any fame yet. I can’t force you to do it this time. But don’t worry, this kind of thing won’t happen again in the future.” Zhang Chao shook his head. His hand reined in the horse and patted Zhao Yun’s body. His face was filled with pain, and his eyes were even slightly red, as if he was about to cry.
