"Master Cao, I have been separated from you for half a year after we first met.
I wonder how your father is doing now?"
Ma Chao asked with a smile in the court.
The most recent meeting between Ma Chao and Cao Cao was when he was rescuing Lu Bu in Yanzhou.
This question was very obscure and sensitive.
Ma Chao deliberately asked it just to test Cao Ang's reaction.
However, Cao Ang didn't care about Ma Chao's probing intentions.
He just responded as if Ma Chao was sincerely greeting him.
He bowed and smiled and replied: "Thank you, General Hussar, for thinking about me.
My father has always been in good health.
But my nephew is lucky enough to see the general's majestic face for the first time.
He feels ashamed."
Very much so.”
This sentence was very polite and respectful.
Although Cao Ang boasted about Ma Chao and consciously lowered his status by a generation, the neither humble nor arrogant tone in his tone made people feel good.
Ma Chao couldn't help laughing and said: "Master Cao is also handsome and talented.
When we meet today, we will treat each other as equals.
As for the grudges between Cao Mengde and me, it does not involve you and me."
"So, my nephew is really getting a big advantage."
Cao Angfu smiled again and replied coolly.
The ministers immediately burst into laughter and said a few words.
Cao Ang's arrogance immediately won the favor of all the ministers of the Ma family.
Over the years, there have been many people who have worked with the Ma family, but most of them were either scolded and driven back by Ma Chao, or had their heads chopped off by Ma Chao.
Send it back.
Cao Ang was the first one to make the ministers feel relaxed in the Ma family's court.
At this time, Ma Chao chuckled lightly and knew it was time to get down to business.
He waved his hand to silence the officials and said, "Young Master Cao has come all the way.
He must have something to teach me.
I don't know what it is about."
Cao Ang glanced at the deputy envoy behind him, took a piece of cloth alliance from the deputy's hand, and said: "Since Huan Ling, the world has been in chaos, and the yellow scarves have risen.
The princes are in chaos, and the people are in dire straits.
Emperor Wu takes up arms to save the world, and Emperor Wen teaches enlightenment Educate all people.
The east is full of smoke, the people are in poverty, and Yuan Benchu is ambitious, usurping the Han Dynasty and betraying the people.
My father is loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he is unable to survive alone, so he specially orders his nephew to come to see the uncle, and make an agreement to attack Yuan with all his strength, but he does not know what the uncle wants.
How about next?”
Ma Chao was stunned.
He never expected that Cao Ang actually said the word "Guojiu" in his mouth.
After Princess Liu Yue married Ma Chao, Ma Chao became the uncle of the dynasty.
Moreover, Liu Xie did not deny this at all, and even later awarded Ma Chao and Jiuxi the honor.
However, no one in the whole world, whether under the rule of the Sima family of Yongliang or the people under the rule of other princes, regarded Ma Chao as the uncle of the dynasty.
In addition, Ma Chao had no Han Dynasty in his heart.
Over time, Ma Chao gradually forgot about the identity of the uncle.
Therefore, as soon as this title came out, Ma Chao was slightly stunned.
However, Ma Chao then realized that once he admitted this identity and formed an alliance with Cao Cao, he might enter Guandong as a royal nobleman.
Cao Ang gave such a big name to the Ma family, which seemed to be very important to the alliance with the Ma family. , determined to win.

The small details are the most revealing.
Whether these words were spoken by Cao Ang or explained by Cao Cao, they penetrated into Ma Chao's heart, causing Ma Chao to think wrongly for a while.
The alliance is indeed something that Ma Chao needs very much at the moment.
However, the alliance sent by the biggest enemy in the future is still necessary or not Although Ma Chao had already made a plan in his mind before coming here, seeing that the generation after the Cao family has grown up with talents, Ma Chao couldn't help but be a little more wary of the Cao family: Cao Cao will definitely gain from this alliance with this war.
A big bowl of fat pork soup, the strength is further enhanced.
Moreover, Cao Cao also has Liu Xie on his side, who can really be regarded as a strong enemy of the Ma family.
Cao Cao seemed to have no choice but every time he was able to identify the weak points in the war between princes and use the limited resources at his disposal to gradually control the entire situation in his hands.
It seems like walking a tightrope, but every step is so steady, and we are facing the victory ahead step by step.
Ma Chao took a look at the ministers, who were all looking at him.
Some were looking at him with disdain, some were heartbroken, and some were calculating the gains and losses.
Ma Chao thought for a moment and looked at Guo Jia.
He saw a smile in his eyes, indicating that Ma Chao should not agree lightly.
Then, before Ma Chao could speak, Guo Jia took the initiative and said, "Sir, you may have forgotten that the Ma family and the Cao family had an alliance."
After saying this, Cao Ang's face finally began to change color.
From the look in his eyes, Ma Chao could tell that Cao Ang had done a lot of homework before coming here, and even thought about the repeated accusations from the officials of the Ma family.
But when he saw Guo Jia's chatting and laughing face, he seemed to have never thought that the first one to come out to remind Ma Chao would be Guo Jia.
"Master, you" Cao Ang called Guo Jia in front of the Ma family ministers due to a slip of the tongue.
"The fate between you and me as master and disciple has ended.
Now we are each our own masters.
You should know what I told you before."
Guo Jiafu smiled again, replied to Cao Ang, and stood back in the queue calmly.
However, what Ma Chao didn't expect was that after hearing Guo Jia's reply, the man behind Cao Ang actually knelt down in front of Guo Jia in public and said: "The Lord of Heaven and Earth is the teacher, and there are five human ethics.
Disciples are fortunate to have their teachers teach them.
There is a gift of teaching.
Today, since the master has broken off the relationship between master and disciple, the disciples will bow down and thank the master for his kindness."
"Who is this?"
Ma Chao asked when he saw the envoy kowtow three times to Guo Jia in front of the ministers.
You know, when they came to see Ma Chao, Cao Ang and the deputy envoy only paid Ma Chao a courtesy.
And this gift of thanking the teacher is much more important than the gift of meeting Ma Chao.
"This is Cao Tai, our elder brother, Xu Duling Cao Tai, and the eldest son of our uncle Cao Ren."
After Cao Ang replied, he did not salute Guo Jia.
Instead, he looked around and saw that the Ma family ministers looked at Guo Jia with a hint of evil in their eyes, and couldn't help but feel worried.
But Guo Jia didn't seem to be bothered by this.
After proudly accepting Cao Tai's gift, he smiled and said nothing.
After Ma Chao pondered for a moment, he smiled and said: "The situation is serious, so you two gentlemen should go back to the inn to rest first, and then we can make a decision after we discuss it."
After hearing this, Cao Ang hurriedly said: "The army is in danger and the battle is fierce.
Everything is changing along the Yellow River.
Why doesn't General Hussar..."
"I don't want to do this either.
Why did your deputy be so smart as to drive a wedge between me and Fengxiao in front of me?"
Ma Chao stood up calmly and was about to walk down the back hall.
When Cao Tai heard this, his face turned red as blood for a moment, and his face, which could not distinguish between male and female, could not help but reveal a bit of anger towards Ma Chao.
Cao Ang, however, had a bad start and was a little disheartened.
He saluted and said, "Since General Hussar has said this, my nephew will leave for now."
"Okay, don't be pretentious.

Yuan Shao seems to be invincible and aggressive towards the Cao family, but it was our Ma family who fought Yuan Shao first."
Ma Chao didn't even look back, waved his hand, and disappeared. .
When those close ministers saw today's situation, they couldn't help but look at each other: It seems that they have to go to the Chancellor's Desk again.
As expected, this member of the Cao family is full of talents and is not easy to deal with.
Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the entire hall was cleared.
After Cao Ang and Cao Tai walked to the square, they looked at each other.
Cao Ang said: "Ma Mengqi is indeed sharp, but every prediction is bound to hit."
But at this time, Cao Tai's face was extremely cold, and he looked at Cao Ang leisurely.
It wasn't until Cao Ang felt a little embarrassed that he said, "Zixiu, don't blame me for speaking frankly.
I'm very surprised why Ma Mengqi didn't hold you hostage today."
"What?"
Cao Ang was shocked and said, "You mean, my father asked me to come here just to use me as a hostage?"
"Based on Ma Mengqi's usual behavior, doesn't Zixiu think that's why?"
Cao Tai turned his head away at this time, looked north leisurely, sighed and said: "Otherwise, how could the Ma family reunite with our Cao family?"
