Chapter 957 Goat into the Tiger's Mouth?

"Mr. Cao, after seeing your father clang, we have been separated for half a year. I wonder if your father is doing well?" Ma Chao asked with a smile in the courtroom.

The last time Ma Chao and Cao Cao met was when Lu Bu was rescued in Yanzhou. This question was very subtle and sensitive. Ma Chao deliberately asked Cao Ang to test Cao Ang's reaction.However, Cao Ang didn't care about Ma Chao's probing intentions, just like Ma Chao's sincere greeting, he bowed and smiled and replied: "Thank you, General Hussars, for your concern, my father has always been in good health. But my nephew was lucky to see the general's face for the first time, and felt ashamed It's too much."

This sentence was very decent and humble. Although Cao Ang boasted about Ma Chao and consciously lowered his status by a generation, the neither humble nor overbearing in his tone made people feel good.Ma Chao couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Cao is also handsome and handsome. Today we meet, we will treat each other as equals. As for the grievances between Cao Mengde and me, it does not involve you and me."

"So, my nephew really got a big advantage." Cao Angfu smiled again and replied coolly.

The ministers burst into laughter immediately, and with a few words, Cao Ang's family spirit immediately won the favor of all the officials of the Ma family - over the years, there have been many people who communicated with the Ma family, but most of them were either scolded by Ma Chao and driven back, or cut off by Ma Chao He took his head and sent it back.Cao Ang was the first one to make all the ministers relax in the court of the Ma family.

At this time, after Ma Chao smiled lightly, he knew it was time to get to the point. After waving his hands to silence the officials, he said, "Mr. Cao has come from a long way, and he must have learned something. I don't know what it is?"

Cao Ang glanced at the deputy envoy behind him, took a cloth and silk alliance letter from the deputy envoy, and said: "Since Huanling, the world has been in chaos, and the yellow scarves have sprung up. The princes made chaos, and the people were in dire straits. Emperor Wu fought to help the world, and Emperor Wen promoted education Yu Wanmin. Now the Kanto is full of fire, the people are in poverty, Yuan Benchu ​​is ambitious, and the thief who usurps the Han and betrays the people. My father is devoted to the Han Dynasty, but he can't support it alone. He specially ordered the nephew to come to visit the uncle of the country and make an agreement to fight Yuan with all his strength. I don't know What do you think, Uncle Guo?"

Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, he never expected that Cao Ang would spit out the word 'Uncle Guo'.

After Wannian 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 awarded Ma Chao and Jiuxi honors later.However, in the whole world, no matter whether it is under the rule of the Sima family in Yongliang or under the rule of other princes, no one regards Ma Chao as the uncle of the current dynasty.In addition, Ma Chao didn't have the Han Dynasty in his heart at all, and as time passed, Ma Chao gradually forgot about his status as the uncle of the country.

Therefore, as soon as this title came out, Ma Chao was slightly taken aback.However, Ma Chao later realized that once he admitted this identity and made an alliance with Cao Cao, he might enter Kanto as a nobleman of the royal family. What you are determined to achieve.

The truth is most evident in the small details. Whether it was Cao Ang's statement or Cao Cao's confession, these words entered Ma Chao's heart word by word, making Ma Chao think right and wrong for a while.

The alliance is indeed something that Ma Chao needs very much at present.

However, is the alliance sent by the biggest opponent in the future necessary or not?
Before coming here, although Ma Chao had made a plan in his mind, seeing that the next generation of the Cao family had already grown into talents, Ma Chao couldn't help being a little more afraid of the Cao family: this alliance, Cao Cao will definitely win from this war. A large bowl of fatty meat soup further enhanced his strength.Moreover, Cao Cao still has Liu Xie in his hand, so he is really a strong enemy of the Ma family.

Cao Cao seemed to be forced to do so, but every time he was able to pinpoint the weaknesses in the wars among the princes, use his limited resources, and step by step let the whole situation be in his hands.It seems to be walking a tightrope, but every step is so steady, so step by step towards the victory ahead.

Ma Chao looked at the group of officials, and the group of officials were all looking at him, some dismissed him, some were moved, and some were calculating the gains and losses in the process.Ma Chao pondered slightly, and looked at Guo Jia, only to see a smile in his eyes, signaling Ma Chao not to agree lightly.

Afterwards, before Ma Chao could speak, Guo Jia stood up and said, "My lord, you may have forgotten that there was an alliance between the Ma family and the Cao family back then."

After saying this, Cao Ang's complexion finally began to change color.From his eyes, Ma Chao could see that before Cao Ang came here, he had done a lot of homework, and even thought about the repeated reprimands of the Ma family officials.But at this time, when he saw Guo Jia's smiling face, he never thought that it would be Guo Jia who came out to remind Ma Chao first.

"Master, you..." Cao Ang called Guo Jia in front of the Ma family officials by a slip of the tongue.

"You and I are masters and disciples. Now we are masters. You should know what I told you before." Guo Jiafu smiled again, replied to Cao Ang, and stood back in the queue.

However, what Ma Chao didn't expect was that after hearing Guo Jia's reply, the man behind Cao Ang knelt down in front of Guo Jia and said, "Heaven, earth, king, relative, and teacher are the five relationships of human beings. I am fortunate to have my master teach me. There is the grace of teaching. Today, since the master opened his mouth to sever the master-student relationship, the disciples kowtowed to thank the master for his kindness."

"Who is this?" Seeing that the envoy was in front of the officials, Ma Chao kowtowed to Guo Jia three times and asked involuntarily.

You know, when they came to pay a visit to Ma Chao, Cao Ang and the deputy envoy only paid a visit to Ma Chao.And this gift of thanking the teacher is much more important than the gift of meeting Ma Chao.

"This is Cao Tai, elder brother of the family, Xu Duling Cao Tai, uncle Cao Ren's eldest son." After Cao Ang replied, he did not salute Guo Jia.Instead, he looked around and saw that all the officials of the Ma family looked at Guo Jia with a hint of unkindness in their eyes, and couldn't help feeling worried.

But Guo Jia didn't seem to be bothered by this, and after proudly receiving Cao Tai's gift, he smiled and said nothing.After Ma Chao pondered for a while, he smiled and said, "The matter is too serious, the two handsome men should go back to the post station to rest first, how about making a decision after we discuss it?"

After Cao Ang heard this, he hurriedly said: "The soldiers are dangerous and the battle is fierce. The Yellow River is changing rapidly. Why didn't the Hussar General..."

"I don't want to be like this either. Who made your deputy envoy pretend to be smart and drive a wedge between me and Feng Xiao in front of me?" Ma Chao got up calmly and wanted to walk down the apse.

Hearing this, Cao Tai blushed like blood for a moment, and on his indistinguishable face, he couldn't help showing a bit of annoyance towards Ma Chao.However, Cao Ang's departure from the army was unfavorable, and he was a little disheartened. He saluted and said, "Since General Hussars said so, my nephew will step back for now..."

"Okay, don't be hypocritical. Yuan Shao seems to be threatening to win the Cao family, but it was our Ma family who fought Yuan Shao first." Ma Chao waved his hand without turning his head, and then disappeared. .And those confidants, seeing the situation today, couldn't help but look at each other: It seems that they have to go to Shangshutai again.This member of the Cao family is really talented, so it's hard to deal with...

Sure enough, within a short while, the entire hall was gone.After Cao Ang and Cao Tai walked to the square, they looked at each other, Cao Ang said: "Ma Mengqi is really sharp, but he is sure to hit everything..."

But at this time, Cao Tai's expression was abnormally indifferent, and he looked at Cao Ang leisurely.It wasn't until Cao Ang felt a little embarrassed that he opened his mouth and said, "Zixiu, don't blame me for speaking bluntly. I am very surprised, why didn't Ma Mengqi detain you as a hostage today?"

"What?!" Cao Ang turned pale with shock at this point, and said, "You mean, father asked me to come here just to make me a proton?!"

"Based on Ma Mengqi's usual style, doesn't Zixiu think it's because of this?" Cao Tai turned his head away at this time, looked north leisurely, and sighed: "Otherwise, how could the Ma family have a relationship with our Cao family?" Reunion?"
