"Hehe, deserve it." Zhang Chao didn't wait for his brother to say something, and took the words.

Zhang Miao's integrity is good, but if he can be too guarded in a city, he is not an unreasonable person. Although what Zhang Chao said was not true, such a thing was harmless, so he also smiled and said, "Come, Brother Meng De, please sit down again." ”

"Haha, good, good." Cao Cao was still immersed in the words of the good minister of the world just now, and he sat down again with a smile on his face.

After the three of them sat down, their expressions were all wonderful.

Zhang Miao is happy from the bottom of his heart, and his younger brother can be recognized by Cao Cao, which will be of infinite benefit to future development.

Cao Cao was happy to be praised, although he was famous at that time, he didn't have any power of his own, and naturally flatterers were rare. Now that someone finally said something that made him happy, the excitement was understandable.

Zhang Chao was indeed just pretending to be happy, he was smiling on his face, but he was really thinking about how to use Cao Cao to achieve his goal of growth.

Regarding Cao Cao's future achievements and influence, only Zhang Chao knows best. Such a capable minister who governs the world and a traitor in troubled times, if he makes good use of it, he must get twice the result with half the effort for his own growth. And taking advantage of the fact that the other party is not fully rising now, becoming friends first is equivalent to getting endless benefits.

Today's Zhang Chao has ambitions, many ideas, and great goals. But the first thing that wants to achieve these is identity.

Zhang Chao is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, as long as he does a good job, he can be filial piety first and enter the official career.

Filial piety is a subject set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to appoint officials, and filial piety is the meaning of "filial piety to the elders, honesty and integrity".

To put it bluntly, filial piety is the best shortcut to enter the office, once it is done, it is equivalent to having a recognized social status and a certain identity in the imperial court, which will also play a vital role in future development and office.

Naturally, the so-called filial piety and honesty in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were not so severe, just like Zhang Chao had no parents, but he still had a brother, as long as he respected his brother enough, he could also enter this ranks.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Chao had a smile on his face, and he also had some consideration in his heart.

"Brother, Brother Meng De, when the eldest husband stands in the world, he should stand up to the heavens and the earth, he should eat a large piece of meat, and drink a lot of wine, this kind of wine is so light, what does it taste like." Looking at the glass of ordinary turbid wine in front of the table, Zhang Chao shook his head, and shouted to the outer hall: "Come on, bring me the wine I brought." ”

Knowing that Cao Cao was coming, Zhang Chao had already prepared, and naturally some things were prepared for this trip.

"Oh, hehe, I can't see that Zhiyuan is a literati who also has such a heroic side. Meng Zhuo, this is your fault, I've been here for a long time, and I haven't seen you bring out good wine? When Cao Cao heard Zhang Chao's shout, he couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Miao also knew that Cao Cao was not really blaming himself. Then he smiled and said: "Brother Meng De, please forgive me, it's not that I don't take wine, I really want to talk about business just now, and I'm afraid of delaying." ”

"Haha, understand, understand, Meng Zhuo doesn't have to worry. It's Zhiyuan, if you can sing a good song, and your temperament is still so cheerful, it makes me impressed. is really a young talent, he will definitely achieve a great cause in the future, and he will be able to be reused by the imperial court! Cao Cao laughed, and appropriately raised this pleasing looking Zhang Chao.

Hearing someone praise his brother, Zhang Miao was also very useful, "Brother Meng De doesn't have to joke, Zhiyuan is only sixteen years old, and it's too early to talk about what reuse." ”

"Haha." Cao Cao also laughed when he heard it. Just now, he just said it casually, in order to make friends with Zhang Miao, and now that the goal is achieved, he will accept it when he sees it.

Zhang Chao looked at Cao Cao and smiled and disappeared, still with a smile on his face, but he was really scolded in his heart. "Sure enough, it's an old fox, saying that he is a young talent, what he says about achieving great things, and he is reused by the imperial court. But is it just talking? Why don't you move the real thing? ”

While scolding in his heart, Zhang Chao did not give up, and when the wine came up, he would take the opportunity to excuse himself, in short, he had to find a way to settle the matter of filial piety first.

When the wine jar was opened, the pungent aroma suddenly spread all over the room, which made Cao Cao and Zhang Miao both spirits shocked.

There were few men who were not good at drinking, especially in those days, when all aspects of diet and entertainment were relatively scarce, drinking alcohol became a necessary means of socialization and lifestyle. But as long as there is a master, he can drink a little, not to mention that these two people are ambitious, have some status, and treat countless people every day.

I didn't take it out before because of official reasons. Now that the conversation is over, and good wine has been served, it is natural to have a good drink.

The wine was served, and four small dishes were placed, and the atmosphere was stirred up for a while.

"Zhiyuan, why is this wine so strong, what kind of wine is it?" Cao Cao's nose wrinkled slightly, and he had a curious expression after smelling the wine.

Hero drunk is divided into two kinds, one is the general fragrance type, and the other is a jar of silver; The other is a strong fragrance type, five taels of silver and a jar. He had tasted both of them before, and had some at home, but he did not have the aroma of this wine, and he thought that it was definitely the first time in his life that he had smelled it.

"Haha, Brother Meng De is so angry, he actually smells the difference between the wine." Zhang Chao laughed for a while, and also took the opportunity to praise Cao Cao, and then he didn't sell Guan Zi and said, "This wine is called Overlord Drunk, and it is even more powerful than the previous strong fragrance hero drunk." This is also what our Zhangjia Distillery has just developed, and this time it is also a coincidence, we just happened to taste it, and asked Brother Meng De to give me an opinion. ”

While talking and laughing, Zhang Chao poured the wine into the wine of the three of them.

As the wine entered the glass, the aroma suddenly became more diffuse, even Zhang Miao's expression changed at this time, speaking of which was indeed the first time he smelled this wine.

Not to mention Cao Cao. I had already been aroused by the smell of wine, and even saliva began to secrete involuntarily.

Taking the expressions of the two in his eyes, Zhang Chao smiled again: "Come, I will use this overlord to intoxicate the two brothers with a cup, and hope that one day, you can become the real overlord." ”

"Hey, how do you say this, we are all doing things for the court, how can we say that we are overlords?" After listening to Zhang Chao's words, Zhang Miao couldn't help but say with a change in his face.

At that time, it was still the world of the Han Dynasty, and if words like the one just now were spread, they would be charged with great rebellion, and that would be punished by the Nine Clans. It's no wonder that Zhang Miao is so nervous.

Cao Cao, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile on his face, "Hey, Brother Meng Zhuoxian, what are you doing?" Zhiyuan is just a drink to talk about. It can't be true, hehe. ”

After saying these words, Cao Cao also looked at Zhang Chao and nodded, with an expression that this was a trivial matter.

Zhang Chao would suddenly say this, in order to test Cao Cao's character and heart, to see if he had the intention of becoming an overlord at this time, and now it seems that if it is true, it is difficult for this person to bend to others in his bones.

With these words of the eldest brother's Cao Cao, Zhang Chao also said on the donkey's downhill slope: "Yes, yes, but it's just about borrowing wine, there is no other meaning, come, I'll do it first as a respect." ”

As soon as Zhang Chao tilted his neck, a glass of 72-degree liquor was poured into his mouth, which felt very spicy, and of course it was also very enjoyable.

Cao Cao and Zhang Miao also glanced at each other, and at the same time tilted their necks and poured wine into their mouths. Then, two loud coughs rang out.

Spirits at 72 degrees are rarely drunk like this. The two of them tried it because they saw Zhang Chao as an example, and for a while, the spicy power entered their throats, and they were a little uncontrollable.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Chao's situation is much better, in the past, when the army was marching and fighting, when he walked through the dense forest every day, the wine was inseparable. Because many environments are very dark and damp, having spirits will have many benefits for the body, and over time, the amount of alcohol will naturally be practiced.

"Hehe, how is this wine?" After Cao Cao and Zhang Miao's faces gradually improved, Zhang Chao couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Okay, if it's really good wine, it deserves the name of the overlord drunk, this is indeed something that can get drunk with the overlord." Cao Cao's lips squirmed, feeling the fragrance of a mouthful, and said with admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Cao Cao so respected, Zhang Chao couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, even if Brother Meng De likes it so much, I still have nine altars there, which are brewed in a pot, and I don't know when I will wait for the next wave, so I will send them all." ”

Zhang Chao said heroically, and when the words were behind, he got up again, and said to Zhang Miao very respectfully: "Brother, I made my own decisions and didn't leave you a jar, I'm really sorry." ”

"Hehe, second brother, you don't have to be like this, you can make one jar of this wine, you must be able to make two jars, even if that's the case, how can there be no chance for me to drink it?" Zhang Miao got up and patted Zhang Chao's shoulder with satisfaction, he was happy from the bottom of his heart that his brother respected him so much.

"Yes, my brother is very true. It's just that the raw materials needed for this wine are not easy to find, and I'm afraid it will take a while. Zhang Chao looked deliberately embarrassed. But this doesn't just show the rarity of this wine, which proves how precious it is to Cao Cao.

Sure enough, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly glowed with a strange light after hearing this, and he was overjoyed in his heart, but he did say: "Oh, Brother Zhiyuan, how can I afford such a big gift." The so-called reactive power is not punished! ”

"Hey, Brother Meng De's words are wrong, this time my brother was ordered by the imperial court to support the Changshe, and together with my brother to assist Huangfu Song and General Zhu Jun in the war, isn't it the time to make great achievements and make a name for himself in the world. Once victorious, the world can be stabilized, and the people of Li can live a peaceful life, this will be a great merit. Zhang Chao said casually, as if the current Cao Cao had won the victory and became a world-famous hero.

"Haha, hahaha. Zhiyuan's words made people feel comfortable listening to them. Cao Cao laughed again, then raised his glass and threw himself back again.
