Chapter 304

The celebration banquet ended, but two people tossed and turned all night and didn't fall asleep.

One is Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's life is simple and empty.

In the one-acre three-point land in Xiliang, what Ma Chao saw was not only the Han people who were so honest that they would fall to the ground when they were scared with a gun, but the Qiang people who were strong and dared to fight. However, under the reputation of Ma Teng, Ma Chao was very confident when he was very young, or a blind conceit.

Under that condition, he inevitably developed a arrogant personality. He thought that Xiliang was the whole world, and he was the best in the world. The only thing he did in his life was to lead his men and run rampant in the Xiliang land like his back garden.

But today he saw another life of the military general, who was excitedly accepting Cao Cao's congratulations like Lu Bu just now, and enjoying the sincere praise from the officials.

Lu Bu had enough pride and pride, even though he had a lot of stains in the past. However, it was his battle in Bingzhou that the Huns truly surrendered to the Han people in the Han Dynasty, Bingzhou, Hedong and Hexi from then on, no longer had to worry about the survival threat from the Huns.

This is enough to make Lu Bu famous in history and be remembered forever. Which military general doesn’t want to be like this? In this era of valuing culture over military affairs, who doesn’t want to become famous?

The achievements and glory of eliminating foreign races and expanding territory are completely incomparable to small fights like fighting bandits and thieves. Even if you are fighting another prince, it is just an internal war between nations, and there will always be people who defame you and slander you; and for foreign races, the entire man will only cheer for you!

Many years have passed since the glory of Emperor Wu of Han, but his unreasonable achievements have made people miss Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. But now people have new people that are worth mentioning, that is Lu Bu.

Ma Chao secretly decided that Lu Bu was his goal to catch up. One day, he would stand at the peak of glory and make his name louder and more dazzling than Lu Bu.

The other is the young Cao Pi.

He was shocked by Cao Cao's aura of looking down on the world.

It was like when Liu Bang saw Qin Shihuang’s ceremonial guard on a tour, the saying “A real man should be like this.” He found that when a person’s power was so powerful that he was like his father Cao Cao, the whole world was in his hands.

What is Liu Xie? Just a puppet emperor. What is the sentence in the imperial edict that Cao Cao nodded so that he is qualified to stamp his jade seal?

What is Zhang Feng? No matter how famous he is, Cao Cao asked him to go east, but he dared not go west. Cao Cao asked him to beat dogs, but he dared not chase chickens!

Guo Jia and Jia Xu are nothing. A group of weak scholars who don’t know how to lead troops, only know how to talk, and only know how to use bad brains. Even if they really have the ability to do everything in heaven, they wouldn’t they circulate around Cao Cao all day long, rack their brains to give him advice and suggestions, just because they are afraid that they will lose favor one day?

I want to be that kind of person!

Cao Pi thought to himself that one day, he would become a person like his father, above one person and below ten thousand people...

No, that's not enough. If one day, the power is in control, the soldiers, food, and even the officials and people in the world have the final say, then... why can't we go further?

Then from now on, you need your own team.

Needless to say, Brother Xia Hou, Zhang Feng and Guo Jia were the same. They were all determined to be Cao Cao, so they definitely had no chance. Jia Xu...

This old man can consider it. He has never had his own position and neither treats guests nor calls on friends.

By the way, this newcomer Ma Chao is a real newcomer!

The Ma family has such a great influence in Xiliang, so it should be able to help him. The most important thing is that he is a real newcomer!

Moreover, he captured Liu Bao alive, so he must have some skills. If he started to show goodwill to him now...

Cao Cao didn't go to bed either. Although he was old, he would always have a headache after drinking.

Wearing a white middle-clothed dress, he didn't have to be so restrained in front of Guo Jia and Jia Xu, lying lazily in the lounge chair, pressing his temples with both hands.

Originally, someone did this kind of massage, but not everyone could enter Cao Cao's study. I don't know how many major events were conspired here.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu were both drinking sober soup. Guo Jia has always been drinking without alcohol, and he drank a lot today. Jia Xu always tasted it lightly and stopped it. He needed to keep a clear mind at all times.

"Wenhe."

When Jia Xu heard Cao Cao calling his name, he quickly put down the white porcelain bowl that still contained a little turbid liquid. He bowed his hand to make a drooping ear to listen.

"How is Ma Chao performing today?"

"Back to the lord, according to some observation, Ma Chao looked excited today, and seemed to be deeply touched, not like a fake."

Cao Cao grinned and laughed twice.

"Zhiji's vision is indeed good. If Ma Chao trains this well, he should be a Fengxian-like general, but he is too young..."

"Young people always have weaknesses. Seeing Wen Hou's appearance, he probably was also moved. For these generals who fought and killed, wasn't it just for the sake of a wife and a son?" Guo Jia also put down the porcelain bowl and sniffed his mouth, looking unsatisfied. His feelings were drunk as wine.

"I've given all money, official positions, glory, and everything I can. If Ma Chao is not moved, I can't do anything."

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia with his eyes greedily at the white porcelain bowl. At the craftsmanship level at that time, this white porcelain bowl that could hardly find a trace of flaws with the naked eye was considered a rare thing.

And when Lu Bu was excited, he actually broke one...

"If you like it, take it back." Cao Cao always had a special indulgence towards Guo Jia.

Cheng Yu and Liu Ye are all meticulous people. They said in front of Cao Cao more than once that Guo Jia was too casual and unrestrained, but Cao Cao always laughed it off.

Except for Zhang Feng, there is only Guo Jia, who can receive such treatment from beginning to end. Everyone in front of Cao Cao did not dare to breathe a few more breaths, but these two were crazy, as if they were afraid that others would not know their existence.

"Thank you, lord!" Guo Jia smiled like a successful thief, and without caring about the water droplets on the bowl, he put them in his arms.

"It depends on your future!" Cao Cao laughed and scolded. Even the headache seemed much better. Maybe this is why Cao Cao was particularly indulging him?

Guo Jia's monthly salary is not small, but his family is as poor as Cao Cao's subordinates.

"If Ma Chao is available, can the lord have thought about where to use it?"

"What if he brought his 20,000 people back to Zixiu? Anyway, Zixiu wants to attack Youzhou, so there are no more people going to go."

"But the lord is the master."
