Three Kingdoms: Domination of the World

Lady Huan was a daughter of the Chen clan of Pengcheng Commandery, named Chen Ke. Among her relatives were numerous talented individuals, including the former Grand Marshal Chen Qiu, the prefect of Wu Commandery Chen Yu, and the prefect of Ruyin Chen Cong. Among them, the most well-known were Chen Gui and his son Chen Deng, who were key figures in Tao Qian's three renunciations of Xuzhou.

This was the terrifying aspect of aristocratic families, the way one person's success would bring prosperity to the entire clan. Suo Chao simply didn't bother to pay attention to any of this, and when the opportunity arose, he decided to visit Xuzhou.

"Humph, if you, Boss Cao, can do something on the first day of the month, I, Suo Chao, can definitely do something on the fifteenth day."

As a reward! Suo Chao thought that once he found an opportunity, he would definitely treat Madam Liu's illness properly, and he also had to find a way to solve Madam Ding's infertility problem. Thinking of this...

"You thief Cao! You gave one away and gained two, you didn't lose anything! Otherwise your eldest son Cao Ang would be without a biological mother." Suo Chao's brain was turning rapidly, and the trace of guilt in his heart disappeared.

"Alas! You're still too shameless! You don't even dare to lay a hand on someone else's wife. I feel guilty for snatching your concubine away in advance."

"I'm too kind! But you better be strong, Cao thief! Otherwise, I can still support your wife."

At this moment, Suo Chao stood under the ring, his robes fluttering. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up. There were five rings in total.

Suo Chao found Cao Cao's literary arena and had a half-smile on his face.

"Cao...thief...no, General Xiaoqi, how about a duel between you and me?"

The two looked at each other from a distance, and the air around them seemed to become a little heavy because of their thoughts. The wind blew gently, bringing up a wisp of dust.

"Oh! It's the Marquis of Xinxiang! Welcome." Cao Cao boasted that his literary talent was not inferior to his peers.

The literary competition was mainly based on poetry and songs, with wine as the theme. Cao Cao took the lead and wrote a poem "Good Deeds", which received rave reviews.

"In the morning, we enjoy ourselves and drink to our heart's content, without knowing we are drunk."

"The sad strings stir up new sounds, and the flute blows clear air."

"The music moved the heart, and everyone was happy."

"From the high hall, a cool breeze enters my room."

"To hold on to what is full is to be content. A man of virtue will be able to finish his work."

......

"Soaring side by side across the Milky Way, where can the hunters be restrained?"

"When tranquility comes naturally, glory and wealth are of no use!"

Suo Chao's face darkened. Boss Cao's literary attainments were quite high. He pondered for a moment and came up with a plan: use magic to defeat magic.

Suo Chao hummed a few times and brought out a short song, which was written by Cao Cao on the eve of the Battle of Red Cliff. It was interesting just thinking about it.

"Singing to wine, life is so long! It's like morning dew, it's so bitter in the past."

"Generosity should be treated with generosity, and worries will be unforgettable. How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang."

"Qingqing Zijin, my heart is so long. But for the sake of you, I still ponder it."

......

"The moon and stars are sparse, and the magpies are flying south. I circle the tree three times, and where is the branch to lean on?"

“The sea never tires of being deep, the mountains never tire of being high. When Duke Zhou spitted out food for his guests, the hearts of the people were at peace.”

This poem caused a sensation in the audience. Cao Cao felt a chill in his heart, as if he had lost something important. This poem perfectly expressed his inner thoughts.

"Xinxiang Hou is such a talented writer! I am ashamed to say I am not as good as him! You shall be the winner of this literary competition."

"General, thank you for your kindness! We are so familiar with each other. I wonder if we can catch up someday?"

"I am extremely honored. I will welcome you with open arms in the future!"

Suo Chao then recited Li Bai's "A Toast," Su Shi's "Water Melody: When Will the Bright Moon Appear?", and Li Qingzhao's "Drunk in the Flower Shade: Thin Mist and Thick Clouds Make the Long Day Sorrowful." After reciting these four masterpieces, he firmly established himself as the top literary talent. Cai Yong, standing nearby, was captivated by the poetic atmosphere, his expression of approval evident.

"I've heard that the General Zhengbei has three unique skills." Cai Yong said

"What are the three unique skills?" asked an old man in the audience.

"Brother, are you too ignorant? These three unique skills are medicine, poetry and martial arts." Cai Yong replied.

"Yes, yes! General Zhengbei was rated as a prodigy by Mr. Xu!" The scholars who were familiar with Yuedanping echoed.

When Xu Shao heard that Suo Chao had composed four poems, he remained calm.

"Haha, that's as it should be! The former Qilin child has grown into a Qilin talent."

Suo Chao's deeds in the Yuedan review were dug up again, and he automatically became the champion of the famous arena.

When Princess Qingyu and Princess Tianxiang heard that their third brother had won two championships in a row, they couldn't hide their joy.

"Haha, sister, your wish has come true!" Yan Yu, who was dressed in a pink dress, joked.

"Sister, please stop making fun of me." Princess Tianxiang, who was dressed in light green, said shyly.

Yanxiang was no fool. She clearly liked her third brother, but she pretended to be indifferent. She simply didn't point out their feelings. Thinking that only one person could marry her third brother, her heart grew even heavier.

The princess chooses her husband and automatically becomes the legal wife. They won't allow two princesses to marry the same husband. This is a matter of face for the royal family and there will be no compromise. Even if Suo Chao wins all five championships, he can't do it.

On the martial arts arena.

The rugged, black-faced man was Zhang Fei, a skilled warrior with the power to rival ten thousand men. No one could challenge him.

Liu Bei, standing in the audience, was delighted. Although he didn't make the finals, his three younger brothers were all outstanding. This was also his strength. A while ago, his third brother had whipped the Inspector General, and the incident had become a big deal. In anger, he resigned from his position as the Anxi County Magistrate.

On the way, the two heard that the princess was looking for a husband and wanted to give it a try. The third brother had a good record and would be one of the two consorts if nothing unexpected happened.

Suo Chao learned the rules of the duel and knew that he could not become the consort of either sister, so he could only choose one of them. At this time, his resentment towards Zhang Fei had overshadowed his resentment towards Cao Cao.

"What a Zhang Heizi! You want to be my brother-in-law? Let me see if you are qualified."
