Cao Xuan didn't know why, 'eh', and wondered if he had just taken two steps, but suddenly turned his head with a shocked face: "Boss, where did you tell me to go?" ”

Lu Bu already had an answer to this, "Go back to Bingzhou, from today onwards, you will no longer be a partial general of the imperial court." I will carve out thousands of acres of land for you in Bingzhou, and I will also give you gold and silver money that you will never use up in this life, which can be regarded as a reward for your followers who have been born and died for so many years. ”

Cao Xing was completely stunned by these words, he froze in place, and his tone was full of anxiety: "Boss, are you trying to drive me away?" ”

Lu Bu exhaled a long breath and said slowly: "In the past, if you caused trouble, I could turn a blind eye to it, and even come forward to help you out of the siege, because in my opinion, those are outsiders." But today, you deliberately instigated Bo Fu to challenge Meng Qi, you know that he is the leader of the next generation, and he is also his own family. But you also deliberately provoked the two sides to cause a big fight. So, I can't keep you anymore. ”

"Boss, that's just a joke I made with Sun Bofu, I'll go and apologize to him later, it's all right?" Cao Xing quibbled, and didn't seem to realize the problem yet.

Cao Xuan said very easily, but Lu Bu's face sank like water: "Joke? Do you know that it was because of your joke that one of them almost died on the spot. Instead of feeling guilty and guilty, you're telling me that it's just a joke? ”

It's no wonder that Lu Bu is angry, if Sun Ce folds on the spot, his Jiangdong plan will be completely ruined; If Ma Chaoliang is too cool, Ma Teng, who is guarding Xiliang, will be very sad, even if he will not rebel, he will definitely let Lu Bu hand over Sun Ce and let him dispose of it.

Even Song Xian and Hou Chengdu knew that they were motivated, why couldn't Cao Xing see these situations clearly?

Lu Bu was very sad.

Seeing that Lu Bu was really angry, Cao Xuan realized the seriousness of the situation.

He wanted to open his mouth to intercede for himself, but was interrupted by Lu Bu reaching out his hand. Lu Bu summoned Chen Wei and instructed him: "Take Cao Xing out of the mansion and send someone to send him back to Bingzhou another day." ”

There was a 'boom' in Cao Xing's mind, and it was blank for a moment.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He knew that once Lu Bu decided on something, it would basically not change.

A heart that has completely cooled down.

Late at night, the bright moon hung high, somewhere in the Great Sima Mansion.

Under the red candle flame, two figures were lying on the bookcase, writing hard.

These two people are Ma Chao and Sun Ce, who were punished, and he has been copying them since the afternoon.

Both of them are arrogant masters, and at the beginning, neither of them wanted to deal with anyone, so they just buried their heads in writing.

However, copying books is an extremely boring thing, and when it was close to dusk in the afternoon, Sun Ce finally couldn't hold it back, and pretended to be casual: "Thank you for not confessing to me." ”

This matter was originally provoked by him, and even if he was punished, he would definitely have to bear heavy responsibility. However, Ma Chao did not dump the blame on Sun Ce, but chose to share the responsibility.

"There is no need to let the lord get involved in the affairs of the two of us." Ma Chao replied in the copy.

Sun Ce nodded, quite approving.

"There is no winner today, next time we will find a new place and come again."

"That's what you said! You're strong, but I won't lose to you! ”

"The tiger of Jiangdong, when the time comes, you will become a bedbug."

"Cut, be careful that the cowhide blows through the sky and beats you all over the ground looking for teeth."

In the afternoon, the two fought for a long time, and in the middle of the night, it was a different scene.

"Hey, hey, Meng Qi, where did you copy it?" Shaking his sour arm, Sun Ce raised his head and looked at Ma Chao not far from the next door.

On Ma Chao's desk, there were already seven or eight volumes of copied bamboo slips.

Ma Chao copied and read: "King Wu asked the Taigong and said: "The enemy is deep into the long drive, invades my land, drives my cattle and horses, its three armies are so big, thin under my city, my soldiers are terrified, the people are tired, and they are captured by the enemy. ”

Sun Ce obviously hadn't copied it yet, so he couldn't help asking, "Where did you copy this?" ”

"Leopard Tao Raid." Ma Chao replied without raising his head.

Sun Ce was very surprised when he heard this: "My mother-in-law, you have copied Leopard Tao, you have to wait for me, I will start copying Long Tao's Wang Yi ......"

The so-called Liutao has a total of six volumes, namely Wen Tao, Wu Tao, Long Tao, Tiger Tao, Leopard Tao, and Dog Tao, and each volume contains many small chapters.

After the wee hours of the morning.

The candles in each hall of the house were extinguished one by one, and only this one room was still lit.

Sun Ce, who was a little tired, yawned, stacked the bamboo slips he had just copied on the desk, and then stretched his waist and complained: "My hands are sore, this thing is really more tiring than fighting." ”

Ma Chao agrees with this: "Who said it wasn't? I'd rather rush the rebel flag again than copy this Rausch book. ”

"Then you're still copying so fast!"

Sun Ce glanced at him, he was obviously working hard to copy, but he couldn't keep up with Ma Chao's copying speed.

Ma Chao exhaled and said helplessly: "I don't rely on accumulated experience, I have made mistakes in the past and often copied military books." You ask the children who grew up in the courtyard of the Great Sima Mansion, except for the little bell, who has not copied hundreds of volumes of military books. ”

"The lord didn't let me copy the national policy, so we should have fun. Twelve strategies, thirty-three volumes, a total of four hundred and ninety-seven articles, everyone who has copied it knows that it is simply a nightmare-like existence. ”

Ma Chao recalled the sadness of the past, it was like a handful of snot and tears.

Hearing Ma Chao say this, Sun Ce suddenly shuddered, how many words do you have to have, even if you don't sleep endlessly, you have to copy it for many days.

"But these crepe things, how to put it, sometimes they still work." Ma Chao added that in the fight against the rebels, he has used many simple strategies in the book, and most of them have been successful.

Sun Ce didn't listen, he saw that Ma Chao was handsome, and some gossip: "Meng Qi, have you married a wife?" ”

"I just got married a few days ago."

mentioned this, Ma Chao unconsciously showed a smile on his face, being able to marry the woman he loved, this is not a kind of happiness.

"What about you?" Ma Chao asked rhetorically.

"Me? Not yet? Sun Ce shook his head slightly.

"I have a younger sister who was born beautiful and lovely, and she is also old enough to get married. How, are you interested in being my brother-in-law? Ma Chao hooked up with Sun Ce, and after the two got acquainted, he felt that Sun Ce was upright and righteous, which was very much in line with his appetite.

"Ma Mengqi, it's obvious that I'm one year older than you, and you still want me to be your brother-in-law, no way!"

Sun Ce laughed, and after laughing, he said a little melancholy: "Actually, I have someone I like, and she likes me too, but the old man of her family dislikes my background and says that he is not worthy of his daughter." ”

"So, I thought, after I have made a career and made some achievements, I will go to her house to propose marriage."

When he said this, Sun Ce's eyes were full of energy.

When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately persuaded: "Don't, how can you wait for this kind of thing?" When you become famous, maybe she will become someone else's daughter-in-law. ”

These words just poked Sun Ce's heart, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious, "Then what do you say?" ”

"If you want me to say, after you go back, you will come to the door to propose marriage, if the old man is not allowed, you will simply rob it. Even if the old man hates you for the rest of his life, it is better than his daughter-in-law being ruined by others, what do you think? ”

Ma Chao really came up with an idea, this is also his countermeasure, if Gao Shun refuses to marry his daughter, he is ready to do so. It's a big deal to stay in Xiliang for the rest of your life, and you won't come to Chang'an.

Sun Ce is also a reckless person, and when he heard this plan, he patted his thigh and immediately made up his mind.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
