"General Hussar, in order for all the people in the world to be safe and peaceful as soon as possible, my nephew will do it first."
Cao Ang raised his glass as a tribute.
Last night, Ma Chao discussed with all the important ministers all afternoon, and then invited the ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites and other ministers to come.
It was not until the lanterns came on that everyone returned to their mansions.
Ma Chao, who was exhausted from work, stayed overnight at the Shangshutai.
This morning, a banquet had been arranged in the palace.
Ma Chao arrived late.
When he sat down, he saw that the officials and Cao Ang had been waiting for him for a long time.
Before Ma Chao could accuse him, Cao Ang raised his hand and raised his glass to save Ma Chao from this embarrassment.
However, Ma Chao looked slightly dazed, feeling that something big was about to happen.
Seeing Cao Ang starting the topic with this, he couldn't help but think that Cao Ang wanted to use the people as an excuse to make an alliance.
He felt a little angry and said: "Yes, the world is in chaos today, the Han Dynasty is declining, and the world is hanging upside down.
The bells and cauldrons were overthrown, the treacherous ministers acted in the right way, and all the people were exposed to fire and water.
It is really a blessing for all the people that Zixiu said this."
He easily pointed the cause of the chaos in the world to Cao Cao and raised his glass to Dong Zhao.
Cao Ang is not willing to admit this: "The reason why the world is in chaos today is because the Han emperor did not practice moral governance, so the Yellow Turbans arose and the country fell apart.
My father was loyal to the Han Dynasty, and the hussar general helped the building from falling and turned the tide from overturning. , It is the great fortune of all people to have the Ma family and the Cao family in the Han Dynasty.”
One sentence, both cutting and complimenting, eliminated the anger in Ma Chao's mouth, making people admire Cao Ang's eloquence with admiration.
Ma Chao and Cao Ang, after looking at each other, also drank from their glasses.
It's a pity that today's banquet is just to put sand in Cao's eyes.
After everyone had a drink together, Huangfu Song, who was at the table on the right, had a good relationship with Tao Qian.
After putting down his wine glass, he said, "I dare not say more about Cao Mengde's desire to help the Han Dynasty.
However, after the massacre in Xuzhou, Surabaya was How can Mr.
Cao dare to say that this is the blessing of all the people?"
The Xuzhou incident will always be a political stain that Cao Cao cannot erase.
Especially during this period, Cao Cao also raped Mei Ji, who was standing by the famous scholar, and even beheaded the famous scholar Huan Shao in front of his tent, who surrendered and begged for mercy.
What he did was really outrageous.
Even though Cao Ang's tongue was as bright as a lotus flower, talking more about this would be tantamount to humiliating himself, so he pondered for a while and did not speak for a long time.
However, after Cao Tai looked around at this time, he already knew that today's banquet would not be a good one, so he simply put aside the disguise and said: "My lord, in order to revive the Han Dynasty, must use extraordinary means.
Don't say that the Cao family is like this, Hussar The general has been fighting for many years, and how many times have he killed until rivers of blood flowed and all living beings lamented."
Yes, Cao Cao killed more than 100,000 people in Xuzhou massacre.
But during these years of Ma Chao's campaign, the lives of his men were by no means more than 100,000.
Many times, in order to keep the Ma family's prestige growing, Ma Chao still ordered the massacre of the enemy and sent tens of thousands of the enemy's heads back to the enemy camp when the enemy was completely defeated.
Such a method is indeed worse than Cao Mengde.
The only thing worth mentioning is that the Ma family started in the fierce and indifferent Western Frontier.
The people were mentally prepared for life and death and were relatively indifferent to human life.
After each massacre, the Ma family would soon tame the people under the rule with the gentle policies of the New Deal.
Therefore, Ma Chao was an invincible believer in the eyes of the people under his rule.
To the enemy, the Ma family is a cruel and terrifying predator.
But Cao Cao was different.
When Cao Cao started his career, he was in the Central Plains where the folk customs were simple and Confucianism flourished.
Cao Cao became famous for his campaign against Dong Zhuo and always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
From this, it is easy for people to forget the blood debt of Cao Cao's massacre of the Black Mountain Army and the Yellow Turban Army.
However, once Cao Cao suddenly extended the butcher's knife to the people of Xuzhou, the world would criticize Cao Cao verbally and write down, and curse him for eternity.
This is the public opinion of the people.

The Ma family has always controlled the situation very well, making people always feel that it is difficult to say whether the Ma family has merit or demerit.
But for Cao Cao, it was to bite the short rib of Cao Cao's madness.
Cao Tai dismissed this with one word, and the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall suddenly became tense.
Many Ma Jiawu will be eyeing Cao Tai, and some famous advisers also want to fight back against Cao Tai.
It was at this time that Ma Chao saw Cao Ang pick up the wine glass again, and it seemed that he wanted to say some smooth words to ease the disaster.
Unfortunately, Ma Chao would not give Cao Ang this opportunity.
After hearing what Cao Tai said, he stood up angrily and said: "How can Cao Mengde be compared with someone?
I am a dignified uncle of the Han Dynasty, guarding the old capital by the emperor's order.
If it weren't for the Ma family, they would never I received an imperial edict to attack your Cao family, and one morning I sent troops to take control of Yanzhou and welcome His Majesty back to Chang'an."
"General Hussar, don't let people tell secret stories.
If His Majesty really has an edict, General Hussar probably won't welcome His Majesty back to Chang'an."
Cao Tai finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in one breath what the two families kept secret.
Therefore, when Ma Chao and the foxes heard this, they all showed imperceptible smiles: everyone here knows the true thoughts and positions of the Ma family and the Cao family.
The irony is that no one can really say it.
No matter how obvious the bullying attitude of the two families towards the emperor is, it doesn't matter, but once it is announced, the nature is completely different.
Sometimes this thin layer of window paper carries indescribable subtleties.
The ancients did not have high technology such as tape recorders, so they could record sounds as evidence.
But the ancients had a quality that was more precious than modern people, and that was the word "faith".
In this era, being unfaithful is more looked down upon than being unfaithful and unjust.
Not only will others look down upon him, he himself will also automatically lose the faith in his heart to settle down and live his life.
The irony is that Ma Chao once said these unruly words but did not have But those who heard Ma Chao say these words himself had become corpses or became Ma Chao's subordinates.
This is where the Ma family is slightly better than the Cao family.
Perhaps, Cao Cao did the same thing.
Unfortunately, Cao Tai was a little too smart at this critical moment, allowing Ma Chao to take the lead in grasping Cao's short rib.
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Cao Ang immediately reacted and wanted to scold Cao Tai, but he didn't know how to redeem himself.
But Cao Tai didn't take it seriously at all.
Instead, he stood up and further raised the topic: "General Hussar, I and Zixiu are not smart enough to be rivals of the talented people of the Ma family.
There will be no good banquet today, but the alliance But it is a good alliance.
I don’t know what General Hussar is like before he is willing to renew the alliance with the Cao family."
"Okay, okay."
Ma Chao slapped Cao Tai three times and boasted: "As expected, he is the son of a tiger general, with the courage to make bold moves.
However, the world says that I am sharp-edged, but you don't know, I am very reserved.
It’s not enough for you to learn this from me.”
After saying this, Ma Chao no longer looked at the livid-faced Cao Tai, but instead said to Cao Ang: "Master Cao, please take out the real alliance letter.
I think the time limit given to you by your father is not long, so I can't help it."
You plan it calmly, after all, after signing the alliance, you Cao family still have a lot of things to do. " Upon hearing this, Cao Ang took out something from his arms without saying a word and handed it to Ma Chao.
When he turned around, he didn't look at Cao Tai.
But after Ma Chao looked at it, he threw the alliance letter to the ground and said, "Cao Mengde is really treacherous.
He deceived my nephew, Ma Mengqi, into this last chance to take out the real alliance letter.
Otherwise, the Ma family will Completely withdraw our troops, stick to the Hulao and Sishui passes, and never get involved in the Kanto chaos at this opportunity."
Cao Ang was stunned, his expression changed, and finally he stepped forward and said: "Yuan Shao's 200,000 troops have entered Bingzhou.
My father promised to cede a state to the Ma family.
With such conditions, General Hussar is not satisfied?"
"Bingzhou is already in the Ma family's pocket.
I will send troops to annex Bingzhou.

Why do you, Cao, use it to sell favors?"
However, just after saying this, Chen Haojie hurried to the banquet hall.
But Ma Chao's heart suddenly moved, and his heart beat rapidly with uneasiness.
Fortunately, Chen Haojie was very discerning today and saw Cao Ang and Cao Tai present.
If the words stuck in his throat, he swallowed them hard.
After kneeling in front of Ma Chao, he couldn't stop coughing.
For a long time, under the hopeful eyes of Cao Ang and Cao Tai and the worried eyes of Ma Chao and other ministers, Chen Haojie blushed and said: "Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord, Mistress Cai, Mistress Diao Chan and Mistress Liu Yue have given birth to sons one after another. , one boy and two girls, mother and son are safe":
