Chapter 303

Ma Chao was as stupid as a puppet and came out of the hall with gratitude, and he couldn't believe his ears.

Although he made contributions to the Huns this time, Ma Chao never expected that he would feel like he would fly to the branch.

The general of the bandits is nothing. It is just a title without a soldier. It is more handsome when you call him, but it is different from the other emperors in Youzhou.

He was almost the first person under the Youzhou Governor, who controlled the troops and horses of Youzhou and mobilized food and grass.

The only problem is that Youzhou's surname is Yuan.

But this is not a problem at all. Ma Chao believed that it was just a matter of time before the emperor gave the imperial edict.

More importantly, Cao Cao obviously wanted to win over him. In addition to rewarding an empty general and property, Liu Xie had no other intention. This Youzhou special lord was personally won by Cao Cao for Ma Chao, and the ministers went out one by one to ask for Ma Chao, or they were simply standing on Cao Cao's side.

This made Ma Chao see that the emperor who was above the top, although as the king of a country, was just a puppet that was concealed.

Only Cao Cao is the one who truly holds power!

The little yellow gate with Ma Chao left the palace. After seeing Ma Chao's identity as a person who had seen with his own eyes, he immediately changed into a squatting smile on his face and congratulated him again and again. Ma Chao didn't realize that he was asking for reward!

It was Liu Ye who took out his pocket and sent the little yellow door that had been thankful for a lot of thanks. Ma Chao then thanked Liu Ye foolishly, which was completely inconsistent with his image of being cold and calm.

But why did Cao Cao help him like this?

Ma Chao always felt that Cao Cao's eyes looked at him had a deep meaning. But although he was Ma Teng's son, in theory, even the old fox Han Sui, who was a little afraid of the Ma family, was easily dealt with by Zhang Feng, under Cao Cao's subordinates. There was no need to show his goodwill to him so much, right?

After thinking about it, I couldn't figure out the reason. Ma Chao's head was only suitable for martial arts moves, not these problems. So I couldn't help but step forward and respectfully salute to Liu Ye's figure who had turned away: "Mr. Liu!"

Liu Ye knew that Ma Chao would definitely not be able to help it, and stopped smiling and asked, "What do you think of General Ma?"

"Please tell me clearly why... Cao Gong looked at Chao differently?"

"Haha, Cao Gong will host a banquet for the general in the evening, why don't the general find the answer?"

Liu Ye left a mysterious sentence, which made Ma Chao think blankly on the spot for a long time.

Cao Cao gently knocked on the Limu table with one hand, making a loud noise. A letter was placed on the table, and the signature on it was Zhang Feng who was in Chang'an.

Zhang Feng's attention to Ma Chao far exceeded his attention to the situation in the north. Because in history, Ma Teng was preparing to surrender to Cao Cao and return to Xuchang to retire, he died in a foreign land because of Ma Chao's sudden raising troops. It took Cao Cao a lot of effort to obtain a place in Liangzhou.

Ma Teng's existence plays an important role in the stability of Liangzhou or the suppression of Ma Chao's double-edged sword that can both hurt the enemy and himself.

What's more, Ma Dai and Pang De, these two rare generals. Ma Dai was a major general in the late Shu Han period, and Pang De was extremely brave and tied with Guan Er who was in his fifties.

If Ma Chao himself could use it well, he would be the second powerful general after Lu Bu. Thinking about the fact that in history, the Qiang people could retreat without fighting after seeing Ma Chao's banner, you can imagine how brave he is.

So Zhang Feng wrote a secret letter to Cao Cao that Ma Chao must stay in Liangzhou, whether it is a high-ranking official and a generous salary or a beautiful woman’s treasure, he can give it to him as long as the man wants.

And it is very likely that what Ma Chao wants is just power...

The power to control the soldiers alone!

So, Liu Ye would keep Ma Chao who was about to return, so Cao Cao would ask Ma Chao for a different position in Youzhou in the hall. For Youzhou, where the war was in full swing, it was really suitable for Ma Chao who was eager to prove himself on the battlefield.

After changing into a brand new court uniform, Ma Chao came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a sword in a brand new way, but the one who came to greet him was a young man.

His eyebrows were very thick, and he had a faint sense of majesty. His whole body was very gorgeous. It could be seen that it was made of the best Shu brocade. There was a huge grandmother jade on his belt, but judging from the color of his clothes, he probably did not serve in the official position.

Could it be that Cao Cao sent such a person to welcome him?

Sure enough, the young man bowed deeply to Ma Chao: "Is this one not a horse?"

After Ma Chao came to Xuchang, his arrogant heart was much more restrained. His family was a local emperor in Xiliang. However, when he came to Xuchang, he realized what it means to be outside the human world and there was a sky outside the sky. He gave a bow to the young man: "I dare not, I'm dismissing Ma Chao, may I ask the little gentleman..."

"I dare not take it. I am Cao Pi, hereby, and I have been waiting for the horse to leave for a long time on my father's order!"

Ma Chao was even more shocked when he heard this. It turned out to be Cao Cao's second son! Although Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang is now famous all over the world, who dares to underestimate this Cao family?

The red lanterns lined up in front of the Cao family reflect wealth and glory in front of the entire Cao Mansion. Everyone who is qualified to enter this place more mysterious than the palace has a proud and excited smile on their faces. Qualification to enter the Cao Mansion is itself a symbol of identity and status.

Everyone is basically familiar with each other before. Whenever they meet someone, they will come up to greet and say hello, and walk side by side with each other, which makes Ma Chao a little uncomfortable and feels that his identity is embarrassing, as if he is an outsider.

However, Cao Pi showed the good education that a descendant of the Cao family should have and the calmness that a young man should not have. Whenever he saw someone, he would first smile and salute, and then introduce him to Ma Chao, and then the two of them would come and go back and forth and worship me.

It was the first time in his life that Ma Chao performed so many ceremonies, and everyone seemed to be unable to afford to offend them. Cao Pi seemed to see that Ma Chao was already a little dizzy and said with a smile: "Don't drive the horse or not? Haha, I'll get used to it after I've been a few more times."

How many more times?

Although Ma Chao didn't react very quickly in his brain, he still realized this meaning. Does Cao Cao want to walk around more by himself?

Why did he suddenly feel a little excited? Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a little excited, and even his breathing became much faster.

Cao Cao also changed his court uniform. Although he did not seem as majestic as in the court, his black face and long beard made no one think he was funny or funny. Anyway, there was a kind of deterrence that made people tremble.

This is the effect of the power of a great minister who has accumulated over the long period of time. Like Zhang Feng, most people are joking with others. Even if they have been a general for a hundred years, not many people will be afraid of him.

"Haha, today we set up a banquet at home to celebrate the lives of all the soldiers. The Han Dynasty's prestige has not diminished. From now on, our people will no longer be afraid of the Huns! Come on, there is no need to be polite. This is not in the court, it's better to be casual."

Although everyone heard this, no one took the seat first. The seating times were all given in particular, so how could they sit randomly?

Ma Chao was even more anxious and did not dare to move. He wanted to ask Cao Pi, but when he looked around, how could he see his shadow?

Although Cao Pi was Cao Cao's second son, he had no official position and could not attend such dinners at all.

Everyone was chaotic and pushed each other, and sang a lot of praise. Then they slowly found their place to sit down. On the side of the general, Xia Houdun sat on the top, followed by Xia Houyuan, and the third was Lu Bu who made great contributions. Ma Chao sat on the seventh place, but he didn't know who else was there.

Ma Chao said that Cao Cao would still be in line with relatives and relatives, but he didn't know that if Zhang Feng was there, he would definitely be in Xia Houdun.

After a chaotic toast, Cao Cao held the cup and slowly walked down the steps, saying as he walked: "Everyone knows that this time there was an amazing general who set up an ambush in Bingzhou for seven months and defeated Liu Bao's main force in one fell swoop. The remaining Xiongnu troops have officially surrendered to the court! From then on, the Xiongnu is no longer a word that the Han people have changed their expressions when they hear this! For the feat of this general!"

Cao Cao walked to Lu Bu, one of whom was 1.6 meters tall and the other was 2 meters tall, and it looked inconsistent.

"Fengxian! Please drink this cup full!"

But Lu Bu took the wine from Cao Cao's hand with fear and fear. Tears flashed in his eyes that could not be hidden, and he choked and said, "What kind of virtue is Bu..."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "You don't have to be too humble. Although the Huns are not as good as before, several places in Henoi, Hexi, Hedong, and Bingzhou have suffered from the Huns every year. The people are living in poverty and mourning the border. But Fengxian will compete for the full contributions in one battle. From then on, my great men and people can live and work in peace. This is all the achievements of Fengxian! It is not to thank you for your gratitude, but to thank you for the people of the world!"

"I want the ancestor emperor to open up the territory of the Han Dynasty and be intimidated by the threat of the Huns, so I have to marry him for years and marry him. Although Wei Qing and Huo Qubing attacked the Huns one after another, they did not have the arrogance of Fengxian, who could defeat the Huns as Fengxian. Come on, for Fengxian, for the Han Dynasty, and for the world, please drink this cup."

Lu Bu burst into tears. This "real villain" who had been fighting on the battlefield for half his life and had been criticized for decades, really felt the pride of being a Han man who had fought on the battlefield and gained his honor by killing him on the battlefield. In the past, he had tried his best to serve Ding Yuan, and Dong Zhuo had worked hard, and he also had many achievements in killing, but he was always looked down upon.

Now, at this moment, everyone present sincerely toasted Lu Bu with an excited expression on his face. This feeling of truly admiring and commending by everyone made Lu Bu tremble with his hands.

With his head raised, Lu Bu finished drinking the wine in one sip, and two slid along the corner of his mouth onto his clothes, unbroken.

With a "clang", Lu Bu smashed the wine bottle in his hand to pieces, splashing porcelain flowers like snowflakes on the floor, then bent his legs and bowed down.

"I deeply loved the Prime Minister, and Lu Bu and his martial artists lived in a daze for most of his life. Today I know what the battle in this life is for! This time, the chief believes in the victory of the Huns, and the generals use their lives, and Mr. Ziyang is also responsible for planning, not Bu's achievements! Bu swore in front of everyone today that he will expand the territory for our Han Dynasty in his lifetime, and he will never regret the fact that he will wrap his body in the horse and the corpse! "

Someone of the military generals had already cheered loudly. Looking in the voice, it was Zhong Jin, Yan Ming and others who were qualified to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion because of their military achievements, and all of them followed Lu Bu and crawled in front of Cao Cao: "We all want to follow Wen Hou and work hard for the Prime Minister!"

All the civil officials also saluted Cao Cao in unison: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister!"

Looking at the whole scene, there was only Cao Cao standing with his head raised in the crowd, majestic and as arrogant as a god, as rebellious as Lu Bu and Ma Chao, all knelt on the ground.

If they were present in the Han Dynasty, they would inevitably feel disrespectful to the emperor. They were loyal to Cao Cao rather than Liu Xie.

But……

Everyone here is more or less marked by the Cao clan.

Or only such a person can truly make the entire Han Han rise.
