"Lord Cao is back." The voice of the soldiers outside the tent came out, and then I saw a man in armor, short and fat, with an unattractive appearance, but indeed an extraordinary temperament, into the tent.

The person who came was Cao Cao, and as soon as he entered the big tent, the eyes of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Zhang Miao and others immediately stayed on him.

Although it shows that there is no hope for knowing the strength of both sides, but when they see people coming back, especially at this time, Cao Cao is still a dragon and a tiger step, and a state of complacency, everyone still focuses on him, hoping for some good news.

As soon as Cao Cao entered the tent, his eyes were also in full view of everyone's demeanor, and then he smiled on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time I didn't catch up with Bocai, but I did succeed in killing the opponent's general He Yi, and this is his corpse." With that, he lifted a wooden box containing a human head into the air.

When they heard that they didn't catch up with Bocai, everyone was a little disappointed, but when they heard that He Yi had been killed, they suddenly became excited again.

If they are about to fight with the Yellow Turban Thief, they will naturally have some knowledge of their camp, and they have also seen He Yi, and they know that this person still has some strength. I didn't expect Cao Cao to really kill one of the other party's generals, so it seems that this trip is worthwhile.

"Hurry up." Huangfu Song was higher than the first seat, and after hearing Cao Cao's words, he said hurriedly.

Immediately, a personal soldier took the wooden box and sent it to Huangfu Song, he couldn't wait to open it, and then he saw He Yi's head being placed here intact.

"Yes, that's the man." After seeing this head, Huangfu Song said affirmatively. When he looked at Cao Cao, he already had a little admiration.

Seeing Huangfu Song looking at him with such a gaze, Cao Cao began to regret it, why didn't he kill this person himself? It seems that this time Zhang Chao is going to make a meritorious service.

It's just that thinking about it the other way around, even if Zhang Chao has made a meritorious service, he is the biggest beneficiary. This calmed down a little, and without waiting for Huangfu Song to ask something, he took the initiative to say: "Lord Zuo Zhonglang, I have found the person who set fire to the Yellow Turban Thief and made the first contribution. ”

Huangfu Song, who originally wanted to praise Cao Cao, heard that he had found the first person who made the arson, and immediately asked with a perk-hearted expression, "Oh, which adult?" ”

No wonder Huangfu Song was so excited, he had already asked all over the barracks just now, but no one knew who made the first move. Originally, it was Cao Cao and Zhang Miao's hands, but now that he knew that it was not, he was a little confused, and he didn't even know how to write the letter of merit sent to the court.

Huangfu Song is not a greedy person, his character makes him very serious in everything he does. Whoever did it was who did it, and even if he didn't know how to leave it empty, he wouldn't scribble.

I thought about asking Cao Cao if he knew who set the fire for a while, but he didn't think that people would take the initiative to say it, which gave him such an excited expression.

Looking at Huangfu Song's excited expression, Cao Cao did not answer immediately, but first looked at Zhang Miao who was standing on the side and said, "Zhang Taishou, I am sorry for you this time." ”

"Brother Mengde, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Miao asked inexplicably, in fact, he was really a person who was kept in the dark.

"Well, that's a long story. It's not been a day or two since you brought people to the Changshe, but seeing that there is no better way to take the yellow turban thief, and it happened that you sent someone back to Chenliu to urge food, so I privately arranged for someone to go to Brother Ling, saying that Zhang Chao and Zhang Zhiyuan were Wenqu Xing, so I wondered if he would have any good way? ”

As he spoke, Cao Cao shook his head, a picture of himself being forced to do something out of desperation.

"How's it going?" Unexpectedly, Zhang Miao became very nervous. He loves his younger brother very much, he has always been a brother and a father, especially Zhang Chao's recent performance makes him very satisfied, this time he didn't take him with him, he just wanted to leave him in the safest place, but looking at Cao Cao's current appearance, it seems that something has happened, so how can there be no reason not to be in a hurry?

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

Cao Cao was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Meng Zhuo, don't panic, things are not what you think, and the other order is intact, you can rest assured." ”

first said that Zhang Chao was fine, and Zhang Miao's expression was a little relaxed.

Seeing that Zhang Miao was not so anxious, Cao Cao muttered in his heart, blaming himself for being tricky, and it would be better to bring Zhang Chao directly to the tent if he knew it. It's just that at this point, he had to continue: "Here's the thing, Zhang Chao got my letter, thinking that it was your intention to be a brother, so he rushed over with his eight hundred cavalry in a hurry. As soon as he came here, he directly rushed to the camp of the Yellow Turban Thieves, and he took the first credit for burning the enemy army. Then he pursued all the way, and He Yi had a bloody battle, and in the end only one hundred of the eight hundred soldiers remained, but he did take He Yi's head, just when I arrived there, the two armies reported to one place, and killed the remnants of the Yellow Turban together. ”

Almost in one breath, Cao Cao said a rough idea of the matter, and then turned his head to Huangfu Song and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Zuo Zhonglang, the person who made the first contribution to the fire attack on the enemy this time is Zhang Chao, the younger brother of Zhang Miao Taishou, and it is also this person who cut off He Yi's head." ”

"Oh, I see." Huangfu Song understood this meeting, and immediately pretended to be displeased and said to Zhang Miao, who was still standing on the side, who was still stunned: "Zhang Taishou, I said that you are really, obviously your younger brother is so powerful, why don't you recommend it to the imperial court, but I waited for so long, and I almost missed a big event." ”

As soon as Huangfu Song complained so much, Zhang Miao also explained helplessly: "Lord Zuo Zhonglang, I really didn't know that his brother had such a ability before." To say that he does have some ability in literary talent, and he also has great respect for my brother, but this is really the first time that he can lead troops to fight. Besides, he is only less than seventeen years old, and he has no half-body meritorious body, how can I recommend it to the imperial court? ”

Zhang Miao is also telling the truth, although Zhang Chao in history is good-looking, eight feet tall, and even served as the Taishou of Guangling, and even participated in the military operation against the thief Dong Zhuo, but when it comes to the real ability to march and fight, it is only average, otherwise he would not have been killed so early and left the history of the Three Kingdoms.

It's just that this Zhang Chao is not the other Zhang Chao, and the current Zhang Chao's ability is extremely strong. Not to mention marching and fighting, in the handling of some things, he has a very comparable ability of decision and the accuracy of foresight.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Huangfu Song really thought that Zhang Miao had his own mind and did not 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, which was a bit unexpected for him.

It's just that what I said just now is definitely irretrievable, and I immediately said: "How about seventeen years old?" Huo Quai, who has been sealed as a wolf, joined the army at the age of 15 or 6, isn't it also a great achievement and a good reputation? Brother Ling is almost seventeen years old, and his age is not too young. Moreover, now is the time when the country is employing people, and I think that talents should be promoted and used. ”

As soon as Huangfu Song said this, Zhang Miao didn't have anything to say, and Cao Cao on the side took the initiative to say: "Lord Zuo Zhonglang's words are extremely true. Originally, the last general once said that when the whole country employs people, regardless of age, it is enough to have real talents and real learning. Even if Zhang Chao is young and promising, it is better to raise filial piety first, as I know, he has great respect for his brother Zhang Miao. Such a person will have no problem with his moral character. And then in the sealing of the official body is. ”

"Not bad." After listening to Cao Cao's words, Huangfu Song also nodded in agreement. The thing is what he started, and he has to support it no matter what.

Listening to the others praising his brother's ability, Zhang Miao was of course happy and nodded. Now only Zhu Jun is left without expressing his position.

To say that Zhu Jun is also very serious about doing things, and his ability is also good. Good righteousness and light wealth, dare to speak out, can be described as a rare talent in the court in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

He also appreciates Zhang Chao's burning of the Yellow Turban Thief and his military exploits, but it seems a bit hasty to say that he will be promoted and used. After pondering for a while, he said: "Why don't you bring Zhang Miao to everyone like this, and let us see how the hero is true, is it okay to make a final conclusion?" ”

said to be looking at the hero, but in fact, he just wanted to inspect the goods. Everyone knows this, and Huangfu Song is also afraid of taking on the hat of uncertainty, so he nodded and said: "Yes, it is also a good thing to look at the young hero, I don't know where others are?" ”

"It's right outside the tent." Cao Cao replied, thinking in his heart that everything he could help had helped, and what happened next would depend on Zhang Chao's own creation.

"Please." After Huangfu Song shouted, there were immediately personal soldiers who went down to pass the word.

While several people were waiting in the tent, the curtain was lifted, and a young man who was eight feet tall and dignified walked in with his head held high.

His eyes are full of light, his face is full of youthfulness and vigor.

As soon as Zhang Chao appeared, he made Huangfu Song shout from within, this young man, his demeanor did not lose his generosity, and he seemed to have a heroic spirit on his body to exude outward, such a spirit is what only some of his generals can have. And now it is really precious to be able to appear in this person.

Zhang Chao, who walked into the tent, first bowed to Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun and said, "Xiaomin Zhang Chao meets the two adults. ”

After that, he turned to Cao and shook his head, and finally faced Zhang Miao, bowed his head deeply and said, "Brother, brother has worried you." ”

"My brother, please get up, this time you have made military achievements for the court, and you are happy for your brother." Zhang Miao saw that Zhang Chao was lowered to his waist, and hurriedly reached out to support him.
