Chapter 969: Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth?
"Gongzi Cao, after seeing Ling Zun sonorously, they have been separated for half a year, I don't know if Ling Zun is okay now?" In the court, Ma Chao asked with a smile.
The last time Ma Chao and Cao Cao met was when Yanzhou rescued Lu Bu, this question was very vague and sensitive, Ma Chao deliberately wanted to ask, just to test Cao Ang's reaction. However, Cao Ang didn't care about Ma Chao's temptation, just as Ma Chao sincerely greeted, bowed down and replied with a smile: "Thank you Hussar General for your concern, my father's body has always been healthy." However, the little nephew was fortunate to see the general's dignity for the first time, and he was ashamed of himself. ”
This sentence is very decent and humble, although Cao Ang boasted about Ma Chao and consciously lowered his status by a generation, but the tone of his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but it made people feel good. Ma Chao couldn't help laughing and said: "Cao Gongzi is also handsome and talented, and when you and I meet today, we will make friends as equals." As for the grievances between Cao Mengde and me, it doesn't involve you and me. ”
"In this way, the little nephew is really cheap." Cao Angfu smiled again and replied in a chic manner.
The ministers burst into laughter when they boarded, and in just a few words, Cao Ang's anger immediately won the favor of the ministers of the Ma family - for many years, there have been many people who have communicated with the Ma family, but most of them were either driven back by Ma Chao, or were sent back by Ma Chao with their heads cut off. Cao Ang was the first to make the ministers relax in the Ma family's court.
At this time, after Ma Chao chuckled, he also knew that it was time to get to the point, and after waving his hand to make the ministers quiet, he said: "Cao Gongzi has come from afar, and he must have seen and taught, I don't know what it is?" ”
Cao Ang glanced at the deputy envoy behind him, took a cloth silk alliance book from the deputy envoy's hand, and said, "Since Huan Ling." The world is in turmoil, and the yellow turban bees are rising. The princes were in turmoil, the people were not happy, Emperor Wu was fighting to help the world, and Emperor Wen was educating and educating the people. Today, the wolf smoke in the eastern part of the country is everywhere, the people are poor, and Yuan Benchu is a wolf with ambitions, and he is a thief who usurps the Han and betrays the people. My father was loyal to the Han family, but it was difficult to support it alone, so he specially ordered the little nephew to come to meet the uncle, set an agreement, and fight Yuan, I don't know what the uncle wants? ”
Ma Chao was stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Cao Ang would spit out the word 'Uncle Guo' in his mouth.
After the princess Liu Yue married Ma Chao, Ma Chao was naturally the uncle of the dynasty. Moreover, Liu Xie did not deny this at all, and even later awarded Ma Chao and Jiuxi awards. However, in the whole world, whether it is under the rule of the Yongliang Sima family or the people under the rule of other princes, no one regards Ma Chao as the uncle of the dynasty. In addition, Ma Chao did not have a Han family at all in his heart, and over time, Ma Chao gradually forgot about the identity of the national uncle.
Therefore, as soon as this title came out, it slightly made Ma Chao a little stunned. However, then Ma Chao then realized that once he recognized this identity and allied with Cao Cao, then he might be able to enter the Kanto region as a royal nobleman - Cao Ang gave such a big name to the Ma family, and it seems that he is determined to win the alliance with the Ma family.
The most true chapter in the small details, these words, whether they were made by Cao Ang or explained by Cao Cao, but the words entered Ma Chao's heart, making Ma Chao think about it for a while.
The alliance is indeed something that Ma Chao needs at the moment.
However, the alliance sent by the biggest adversary in the future will not be able to be won or not?
Before coming here, although Ma Chao had a plan in his heart, but at this time, seeing that the next generation of the Cao family was already strong and talented, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little more jealous of the Cao family: this alliance, Cao Cao will definitely get a big bowl of fat soup from this war, and his strength will be further enhanced. Moreover, Cao Cao's side still has that Liu Xie in hand, and he can really be regarded as a strong rival of the Ma family.
Cao Cao seemed to be forced to do so, but every time he could see the weakness in the war between the princes, and use the limited resources in his hands to let the whole situation take his hands step by step. It seems to be walking a tightrope, but every step is so steady, so step by step to meet the victory ahead.
Ma Chao looked at the ministers, and the ministers were all looking at him, some disdainful, some excited, and some were calculating the gains and losses. Ma Chao pondered slightly, looked at Guo Jia, and saw a smile in his eyes, signaling Ma Chao not to agree lightly.
Then, before Ma Chao could speak, Guo Jia took the initiative to stand up and said, "Childe, you may have forgotten that the Ma family and the Cao family had an alliance at the beginning. ”
When this sentence came out, Cao Ang's face finally began to change color. From the look in his eyes, Ma Chao could see that Cao Ang had done a lot of homework before coming here, and even thought about the repeated reproaches of the ministers of the Ma family. But at this time, when he saw Guo Jia's laughing face, he didn't seem to expect that the first person to come out to remind Ma Chao would be Guo Jia.
"Master, you ......." made a slip of the tongue for a while, and Cao Ang shouted out his address to Guo Jia in front of the ministers of the Ma family.
"You and I have finished our master-apprentice relationship, and now each is his master, you should know what I told you before." Guo Jiafu smiled again, replied to Cao Ang, and then stood back in the queue.
However, to Ma Chao's surprise, after hearing Guo Jia's reply, the person behind Cao Ang knelt down in front of Guo Jia in front of him and said: "Heaven and earth are the king's teachers, and the five virtues of the people are also, and the disciples are fortunate to have Mr. preaching and teaching, so they have the grace to teach." Today, since the master opened his mouth to sever the relationship between master and apprentice, the disciple bowed to thank the teacher for his kindness. ”
"Who is this?" Ma Chao saw that the envoy was in front of the ministers, so he kowtowed to Guo Jia three times, and couldn't help asking.
You must know that when they came to meet Ma Chao, Cao Ang and the deputy envoy only paid a visit to Ma Chao. And this gift of thanking the teacher is much heavier than the gift of meeting Ma Chao.
"This is the clan brother Cao Tai, Xu Du Ling Cao Tai, uncle Cao Ren's eldest son." After Cao Ang replied to this sentence, he did not salute Guo Jia. Instead, he looked around and saw that the Ma family's ministers looked at Guo Jia with a faint hint of unkindness, and couldn't help but worry in their hearts.
But Guo Jia didn't seem to be bothered by this, and after proudly accepting Cao Tai's gift, he smiled silently. And Ma Chao pondered for a moment before smiling and said: "It's a big trouble, how about the two Junyan go back to the post station to rest first, and then make a decision after we discuss?" ”
After hearing this, Cao Ang hurriedly said: "The soldiers are in danger and the battle is fierce, the line of the Yellow River is changing rapidly, why don't the hussar generals .......?"
"I don't want to be like this, who let you make that deputy envoy pretend to be clever and separate me from Fengxiao in front of me?" Ma Chao got up calmly and wanted to walk down the apse.
When Cao Tai heard this, his face was as red as blood for a while, and his indistinguishable face couldn't help but show a little resentment towards Ma Chao. And Cao Ang was a little disheartened, and Shi Li said: "Since the hussar general said so, the little nephew will step back for the time being......."
"Alright, don't be cowardly. Yuan Shao seems to be bound to win against the Cao family and is aggressive, but it was our Ma family who fought with Yuan Shao first. Ma Chao didn't look back, waved his hand, and disappeared. And those confidants and important ministers, seeing today's situation, couldn't help but glance at each other: It seems that they have to go to Shangshutai again. This Cao family is really talented, and it is not easy to deal with........
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the entire hall was clean. And Cao Ang and Cao Tai walked to the square, looked at each other, and Cao Ang said: "Ma Mengqi is really sharp, but every material is bound to hit ........"
But at this time, Cao Tai's face was indifferent and abnormal, and he looked at Cao Ang leisurely. It wasn't until Cao Ang was a little embarrassed that he spoke: "Zixiu, don't blame me for speaking straightforwardly. I wonder why Ma Mengqi didn't detain you as a hostage today? ”
"What?!" Cao Ang was shocked at this point and said, "You mean, my father asked me to come here just to make me a proton?!" ”
"With Ma Mengqi's usual style, doesn't Zixiu think it's because of this?" Cao Tai didn't turn his head at this time, looked at the north leisurely, sighed and said, "Otherwise, how can the Ma family reunite with our Cao family?" ”
