"The White Horse" Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms

The white horse is decorated with golden restraints and gallops northwest.

May I ask whose son I am, You Bingyou Xiaer.

When I was young, I went to the countryside and raised my voice in the desert.

In the past, there was a good bow, but the arrows were uneven.

If you control the string and break the left side, the right side will break the moon branch.

Raise your hands to catch flying zodiac dogs, bend down to scatter horse hooves.

Cunning as a monkey, brave as a leopard.

There are many policemen in border towns, and many captives and cavalry are migrating.

Yu Xi came from the north and rode up the high embankment.

The long march drives the Xiongnu, and the left guard Ling Xianbei.

Abandoning one’s body at the sharp edge, is one’s life safe? If parents don't care, how can they talk about children and wives? When compiling the records of strong men, no selfish considerations are allowed.

Sacrificing one's life to the national disaster, seeing death as a sudden return home!
