"I don't care about kidnapping people. But when it comes to kidnapping the elder brother, even if the younger brother offends that Cao Cao, what is there to fear? Ma Chao finally revealed his bandit nature, and this move made Tian Feng on the side laugh and say nothing. And the other princes and strategists showed jealousy and shame on their faces: Ma Chao, you are a blind thing, your master is not small, and he has been waiting for you to solicit him, why don't you just open your mouth? !

"Even so, it seems that the foolish brother can't say it......" Guo Jia smiled bitterly, and suddenly there was a feeling that Xiucai met a soldier and couldn't explain it. But then, his face became gloomy and serious, and he stared at Ma Chao and said seriously: "Brother Xian really wants to listen?" ”

Ma Chao suddenly had a very ominous premonition, but now that the matter is ready to fly, Ma Chao can't give up halfway, so he can't help but say: "Brother, it's okay to speak, although the younger brother is thin and wise, but he can still listen to his heartfelt words." ”

Guo Jia heard Ma Chao say this, and also knew that Ma Chao did think of that aspect, and couldn't help but praise Ma Chao's quick thinking, and felt a little stunned in his heart: If I didn't find Cao Gong, I would rely on his careful and sincere invitation, and seek benefits for the world's poor people, and I would do my best to assist. However.......

With a sigh, Guo Jia looked at Ma Chao, his eyes were blazing, and he said loudly: "The court has no virtue, it is decaying inside and empty outside, and it is full of holes. As a result, the world was in turmoil, etiquette and discipline collapsed, first there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven, which shows that the Han Dynasty has exhausted its qi. The so-called Qin lost its deer, and the people of the world chased it together. After this turmoil, the foolish brother decided that these earth-shaking changes had just begun, and that this was the general trend of the world, and it was absolutely impossible for man to stop it! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he smiled bitterly twice and did not answer. He knew that Guo Jia said this at this time, but it was just foreshadowing, and the real reason was like the leader's criticism, first to praise you, but the focus was on the 'but' in the back.

Sure enough, speaking of this, Guo Jia said in a gloomy tone: "Jia has lived in seclusion since the war, refusing to raise filial piety and the imperial court, secretly befriending Yingjie, and waiting for the opportunity. I only hope that after the troubled times come, I can contribute my modest efforts to assist the Lord, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible, and restore my prosperity......."

Speaking of this, Guo Jia's eyes suddenly brightened, and after glancing at Ma Chao, he continued: "After that, I ran around until I met Cao Gong....... Cao Gong Mingzhe, with great ambitions, good intentions, the opportunity to contain the universe, and the ambition to swallow heaven and earth, is an extraordinary person, and a heroic man beyond the world. Jiajian was full of admiration and believed that this person would be able to level the world and cross the four seas, so he vowed to assist carefully...... Therefore, the invitation of the virtuous brother, the foolish brother ......."

"Stop!" Hearing this, Ma Chao waved his hand and said quite unwillingly: "I probably guessed that this is the statement." Cao Cao is a person, I haven't seen it, so I won't say more. I just want to ask my brother, why is Yongzhou looking for it in the future? ”

"After abandoning Yuan Gong, the foolish brother once came to help the wind. However, at that time, the virtuous brother was leading his subordinates to attack Chang'an, and the foolish brother left without staying for a long time...... "Guo Jia will not say the next words, and Ma Chao also knows what Guo Jia means."

Even though the Han family is going to die, Ma Chao was a chaotic minister and thief after all, although Guo Jia does not recognize the Han family, but he will not approve of the chaotic minister and thief. Therefore, I am afraid that Guo Jia will return to Cao Mengde before he arrives at Fufeng that time.

However, Ma Chao couldn't explain this to Guo Jia. It can only be said that he was stained with the light of the Han family, and he also carried the black pot for the princes of the world - the Han family, now in the eyes of the princes of the Quartet, is just an iconic existence. Being close to it will bring a lot of convenience, but at the same time, it will also cause more trouble.

The Ma family was weak at first, and Ma Chao could only rely on the Han family, and entered Chang'an to punish Dong Zhuo quickly. Even, even in this imperial examination, he used the reputation of the uncle of the Han Dynasty and the famous Confucian relics of the imperial court.

And when he really gradually rose up, the Han family became a shackle that hindered its continued development, and Ma Chao had to wave his army into Chang'an to hit the prestige of the Han family. What's more, he is still planning to use the rebels of Li Dao and Guo Yan, as well as Yu Fuluo of the Xiongnu, to completely minimize the influence of the Han family and open the era of real competition.

The attitude of the Han family towards the Ma family is the most repetitive, and similarly, the attitude of the Ma family towards the Han family is also improvised. But no matter how it changes, Ma Chao has to admit that he has the dual reputation of being the uncle of the Han Dynasty and the thief of the country at the same time. There are both advantages and disadvantages, it is just a matter of how to use it.

Therefore, when Guo Jia said this, Ma Chao didn't say anything more. With a wave of his hand, he asked his guards to retreat, and he bowed his hand to Guo Jiashi and said: "Brother is here, I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend in the future, but seeing today's friendship, the younger brother is also comforted." ”

"This time I went to help the wind and got acquainted with such an outstanding character as Brother Xian, and Brother Yu was also very happy in his heart. However, everyone has their own ambitions, and they have the same end, no matter what happens in the future, the virtuous brother only needs to recognize me as the eldest brother in his heart, and Jia is also satisfied. Cao Gong was still waiting for a reply over there, and it was not too early now, so the foolish brother left at this time. ”

Ma Chao gave it to him, watching the convoy gradually move away from his sight, and being blinded by the wind and sand, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little lost, and muttered: "I just said, today is not a good day to say goodbye......."

After returning to the county guard's mansion, there was nothing serious, except for the news reported by Han Feng that the Arsenal Water Drum Car, Cocoon Car, and Quyuan Plough had been tested and could be mass-produced, it was a personnel appointment letter from Zhang Ji.

In this imperial examination, Ma Chao didn't lose money and made a lot of money, but he didn't get any talents. Zhang Ji made arrangements for those scholars according to Ma Chao's intentions, and most of the seventy who failed to make the list chose to go back and continue to study hard in the cold window to wait for next year's high school. Only thirty-six people accepted the appointment to enter the county to hone their training, starting as a scrivener.

The thirty people on the list were all filled into the Ma family's bureaucratic institutions, starting from Jiupin petty officials, and slowly began their political careers. After the six departments of the three provinces of the Ma family are thoroughly improved, we will look at the distribution of their performance and conduct. Only Peng Yi and Liao Li, Zhang was not appointed, waiting for Ma Chao's instructions to appoint.

"How do those two look?" Ma Chao scratched his head, today Guo Jia left and Liu Yue was married, he always felt that something was wrong, and his mind was not at ease.

"Since the two were stumped by the master's dilemma, they no longer had the same domineering attitude as they used to be, but were a little apprehensive about whether they could be qualified for the position of the Ma family." Zhang replied truthfully, to be honest, seeing the two of them looking dejected, he was also amused in his heart.

After hearing Zhang Ji's report, Ma Chao suddenly remembered Guo Jia's words about employing people, and couldn't help but make arrangements for these two thorns, and said: "Most of the arrogant people are like this. Either overconfidence or low self-esteem. However, the two of them do have some talents, they are observant and reasonable, and such characters are just incorporated into the Ministry of Officials, and it is most suitable to supervise the officials of the county and county departments. The grade, not too low, just give them two eight-grade Zuo Cao, and see the results in the future. ”

"No!" Zhang not only admired the promise, but was obviously very satisfied with Ma Chao's appointment. In the end, when it seemed that this regular meeting should end again, Han Feng stood up with some hesitation.

"What?" Ma Chao opened his mouth, feeling a little strange about Han Feng's actions.

"It's just a small thing, it doesn't matter." Han Feng's expression was still a little hesitant, and in the end, he probably wanted to delay everyone's time, so he said quickly: "There was a small riot in the arsenal yesterday, and some craftsmen were dissatisfied with our treatment, and there was an escape. However, the matter has been settled by General Huang, and the few escaped craftsmen have been executed. ”

"Well, it's up to you...... Wait, you said the craftsman ran away yesterday?! Ma Chao was shocked in his heart, he felt that he had a very important thing in his mind, and he had eyebrows!
