Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 791

"I want to sacrifice my life to protect the country! Dare I ask, does this song have a name?"

Most of the songs in the Eastern Han Dynasty were based on poetry, like the one sung by Tai Shici, which simply expresses the most direct emotions, giving people a feeling of eye-catching!

Tai Shici cupped his hands modestly: "My teacher taught me well, without him, where would Tai Shici, the king of music today be?"

"I don't know the name of this song. The teacher wrote it for me last night without marking the name of the song. Why don't you ask my teacher?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, such a high-quality song was just written by him in a hurry?

Does this guy need to be so talented?

"Fuck! Yuan Yi, you have created a collection of Xia Houzhe's poems. Do you still want to create a score that surpasses "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci"?"

Xia Houzhe crossed Erlang's legs and smiled: "It's not impossible, I'll talk about it when I have a whim."

Cao Cao's expression was startled, he is also quite accomplished in music and Taoism, so he naturally understands how difficult it is to create a book handed down from generation to generation.

Hearing that Xia Houzhe wanted to play with the music score, Cao Cao's mind suddenly became alive.

He has no doubt that this guy's song will be passed down through the ages, so he decided...after the score is ready, he will quietly add his name to it...

They are all in the same family, he believed that Xia Houzhe would not mind having an extra author's name.

How could he miss such a good thing that will be famous for future generations?

"My dear brother, what's the name of this song?"

Xia Houzhe laughed lightly: "This song...is called Serving the Country with Loyalty!"

Everyone's expressions were terrified, and they closed their eyes to comprehend this sentence and the lyrics.

"loyalty?"

"Okay! What a loyal and loyal to the country, this name is appropriate!"

Even Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, who are lazy, stood up and gave a thumbs up.

When a man is alive, who doesn't want to defend his family and country?

Even Lu Bu had the Han Dynasty in his heart, if he hadn't protected Liu Xie repeatedly in Chang'an back then, Liu Xie wouldn't know how he was bullied.

Similarly, Lu Bu was also a general trusted by Liu Xie.

Seeing everyone's admiration, Xun Yu next to him rolled his eyes and bowed his hands to Cao Cao righteously.

"My lord, this subordinate has something to advise!"

"Say!" Cao Cao waved his hand.

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Master, since this song can give everyone such a strong feeling, it can arouse everyone's determination to defend their families and the country."

"The subordinates thought that it could be taught to all the sergeants and made it a military song!"

"This will not only improve the belonging of the soldiers, but also increase their loyalty. When tens of thousands of people sing together during a war, won't the morale be high?"

Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked to Xia Houzhe for advice.

"My dear brother, do you agree? I have to ask you first, otherwise you will have to ask me for the copyright fee, I can't afford it!"

Xia Houzhe spread his hands indifferently: "It's up to you, you're such an adult, don't ask me anything, just make up your own mind."

Cao Cao nodded, and immediately made a decision with a wave of his big hand!

"Everyone, pass on the order to make this song the military song of our Cao Ying. I want all soldiers to have a belief in serving the country loyally!"

Seeing Cao Cao so happy, Cheng Yu seemed to see an opportunity to flatter him.

I don't know what he thought of, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually changed.

Putting his hand on Guo Jia's shoulder, he said with a smile:

"Cough! Fengxiao, I remember you know how to get tattoos, right?"

Chapter 897 Cheng Yu: Tattoo me on my back

Listening to Cheng Yu's question, Guo Jia scratched his head in confusion:

"Yeah, how do you know? This is what I learned from Hua Kui when I opened a brothel! I don't have too many skills..."

Cheng Yu chuckled, then looked at Cao Cao secretly, and deliberately raised his voice to the boss:

"Don't worry about how I know, since you know how to handle it, come on! Give me a tattoo on my back to serve the country faithfully!"

"I, Cheng Yu, have a loyal heart, and the world can learn from it!"

Sure enough, as Cheng Yu expected, as soon as he said these words, Cao Cao immediately cast admiring glances at him.

"Good guy! Did you see it? This is my confidant and favorite general of Cao Cao! Hahaha!"

"I have Cheng Zhongde, why worry about the uncertainty of the world? If my Cao Cao's soldiers are so loyal and righteous, then I will die in peace!"

Cao Cao patted Cheng Yu's shoulder in relief.

Cheng Yu smiled happily and kept urging Guo Jia.

"Hurry up, Feng Xiao, we are all brothers so I won't even get a tattoo for me, right?"

Tattoos were very popular in some ancient dynasties, and tattoos were used to draw patterns on the body with needles filled with ink. Some ethnic groups even regarded tattoos as a coming-of-age ceremony or a totem.

In the pre-Qin period, tattooing was a criminal law called tattooing.

The face of the victim will be engraved and painted with black ink, making it a mark that can never be erased.

"Parents who receive the body, hair and skin", for the ancients who followed the etiquette system, being engraved on the face is not only a kind of physical punishment but also a spiritual humiliation.

In the Han Dynasty, tattoos gradually changed. They were no longer the endorsements of viciousness. Some people with high status would also have tattoos on their bodies, as a symbol of power, or tattoo some handwriting to show their determination.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, tattoos were widely spread and regarded as a kind of makeup and culture.

Many people will tattoo some peonies, phoenixes and other tattoos on other parts of the body as decorations, especially women!

Hearing Cheng Yu's urging, Guo Jia frowned a little reluctantly.

"Do you want to serve the country loyally? It will take a lot of time, and the process will be a bit painful. Are you sure you want it?"

Cheng Yu waved his hands, carried Guo Jia on his shoulders, and walked to the room in the ship building.

"How can there be so much nonsense! What's the point of a mere pain?"

"I don't blame you if I tell you to stab, but if you stab slowly, why are you nervous?"

"Do you know that I, Cheng Yu, have wanted to be a loyal minister since I was a child, but I have no chance to show my loyalty!"

Seeing Cheng Yu's insistence on this, Guo Jia rolled his eyes, sighed heavily, and had no choice but to follow him.

"I wanted to be Sailor Moon when I was a kid, but when I grew up, I realized I had an extra bird!"

Cheng Yu clenched his fists, grabbed Guo Jia's collar, and lifted him up.

Guo Jia immediately changed his words:

"Okay, just get a tattoo! Are you sure you want to make a loyal service to the country?"

"Sure! I, Cheng Yu, are the most loyal generals under the lord's command. How can I not set an example?"

"That's fine, the process will take a long time. You should sleep on your stomach for a while, and it should be almost done when you wake up."

Guo Jia took out a box from under the bed, which was full of tools for tattooing.

This was a gift given to him after he gave the oiran in the brothel an injection, and it was very commemorative.

Cheng Yu got down on the ground after hearing the words: "Make it look better for me, or I will make you look better!"

"Understood! Go to sleep, I don't know why you would make such a request, it's too difficult! This is a big project!"

Guo Jia said impatiently, picked up the tool and started working.

Cheng Yu endured a little pain and quickly fell asleep.

Three hours passed in a flash, and the warship at this moment had already arrived at the pier outside Hefei City.

The generals of the Cao camp led the army to camp and settle down. Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Yuan, Xunyou and others were already waiting.

"I've met my lord! I'm tired along the way, so I ask my lord to get off the boat and go to the city to rest!"

Cao Cao had already changed his underpants into an eastern suit, and hugged everyone after getting off the boat.

"Hahaha! It's even harder for you to fight the enemy bravely. How can the suffering of Cao Mou be compared with you?"

"You are all meritorious ministers, I will add officials to you! Especially the four of you, Zhang Wenyuan, [-] broke Sun Quan's [-]!"

"Even if I am the one who admires this record! It is truly the enemy of ten thousand people! And I heard that Jiangdong's children can stop crying at night when they hear your name!"

Cao Cao gave Zhang Liao, Zhang Fei, Ji Ling, and Gan Ning a thumbs up.

Even Cao Chun and the others sighed: "Boss, brother, I'm so envious of you guys, I'm so jealous."

"Come here one step ahead of time and you've made a head start. This reward, promotion and fame are indispensable!"

Facing the compliments from everyone, the four of them looked at each other, not daring to take credit, Qiqi waved his hands and refused:

"My lord! We are not the first in terms of credit this time! I dare not claim the credit!"

Cao Cao and the crowd were stunned for a while, looking at each other for some reason.

"Why don't you dare to take it? I, Cao Cao, have clear rewards and punishments, and I am not rewarding indiscriminately!"

The four of Zhang Liao stood at attention, with solemn eyes, and bowed deeply to Xia Houzhe.

He said something that surprised everyone.

"To be honest, the reason why Sun Quan was able to defeat Sun Quan this time is that Yuan Yi asked Yi De to send him a good plan, otherwise I don't know what to do!"

"In the past, Yuanyi's clever plan broke the prestige, and now the clever plan is re-established in Hefei. I admire it! It is really the posture of heaven and man!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Xia Houzhe in horror.

What does it mean to strategize and win thousands of miles away? They met again today.

Especially Sima Yi, who was in the crowd, took a deep look at him, with deep fear in his eyes.

Looking at Xia Houzhe who was calm and composed (with a leak of air), everyone wanted to flatter them, but they couldn't think of words after holding back for a long time.

All they could do was yell: Awesome! (Breaking sound)

"Ahaha! Low-key, low-key, I just wrote it casually, I didn't expect that Sun Quan is really such a tiger."

"It's not that I'm too good, but that my opponent is too good! Oh, by the way, Gou or Pang Tong, both of you remember to publish such a big event in the newspaper."

"We must let the whole Han people know how brave our Cao Ying was and how we defeated the enemy army. This will strengthen the people's sense of security and deter Xiaoxiao!"

Xia Houzhe's lips burst into laughter.

He can already imagine that he will be on the trending searches together with Zhang Liao and others, and even his behind-the-scenes strategist will be more popular than the four main generals!

The most important thing...every time people in later generations mention Zhang Babai, they will think that there is someone named Xia Houzhe behind him who is supporting him.

Xun Yu and Pang Tong, the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief, nodded.

This is an excellent opportunity to flatter, as long as you seize the opportunity, you can move into the big villa overnight!

Specifically how to blow it well, they still have to discuss it in detail, and it's time to test their ventriloquism.

"Made, brother, you did another big thing behind my back!"

Cao Cao scolded with a smile.

Xia Houzhe waved his hand, and took out a gold trophy and a rusty medal with his backhand.

On the trophy is written Zhang Babai and three characters, and on the medal... is engraved with 'God of War Sun Shiwan'.

"Hey! Wen Yuan, I will give you this trophy on behalf of my father-in-law as a commendation. It is about five hundred gold!"

"For the other medal, you send someone to send it to Sun Quan, and tell him by the way, needless to say thank you, he deserves the title of God of War."

Zhang Liao respectfully stretched out his hands to receive the trophy, and then handed out the medal that belonged to Sun Quan.

"Thank you, my lord, and my prime minister! I like this trophy very much!"

Listening to Zhang Liao and Xia Houzhe's words, Cao Cao smiled gratifiedly.

This son-in-law is good, knowing that his father-in-law has no money, he actually volunteered to reward his subordinates for me.

Sure enough, my family is closer!

"My dear brother, thank you!" Cao Cao patted the opponent on the shoulder.
