Next chapter

"Hehehe, Meng De hasn't seen him for a few days, but he is still very free and easy, come and drink this cup with us!"

Seeing Cao Cao like this at this time, Zhao Hao did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, still with a warm smile, raised the cup and bowl with both hands, and saluted the other party.

Seeing this, Cao Cao's originally misty drunken eyes cleared up in an instant, but the next moment he regained his drunken appearance, raised the wine glass with a little reluctance, and saluted Zhao Hao crookedly, and raised his head to dry the wine that was not much left in the original cup.

After that, Zhao Hao personally took the other party's cups and bowls, filled them for him from the wine jar on the side, and handed them over.

"Alas, when I first met Linchen that day, I heard that he was going to come to Chang'an to kill Dong Zhuo, but at that time, I thought that Linchen was just young and vigorous, grateful for the chaos of the world, and was sending some generous words.

Unexpectedly, now that you and I have only been separated for more than a month, Linchen has realized what he said, and at this moment he is an official general, ranking first among the courtiers and princes!

And compared with Linchen, although Cao has empty ambitions, now he can only be at the end of the banquet, despised by hundreds of officials, and I am really ashamed!"

Cao Cao said, frowning, picked up a bowl full of imperial wine in front of him, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, the wine wet the placket on his chest, and his face was even more drunk.

Previously, Zhao Hao was in Luoyang City, got the Nahe family, and by the way, after accepting Sun Jian's family as a subordinate, on the way to Chang'an on horseback, he had a relationship with Cao Cao.

At that time, Cao Cao led the army to attack and kill Dong Zhuo and his party, but was defeated by Lu Bu, and Zhao Hao at that time had just clarified his future path after a fierce ideological struggle and choice.

The two had met on the way home and on the way, and they had some conversations with each other, if at this banquet tonight, Cao Cao was still Zhao Hao's only acquaintance among the princes of the Eighteen Roads.

Of course, for Cao Mengde, Zhao Hao has actually been friends for a long time, and before they met, he had imagined the image and temperament of the other party many times in his heart.

"Previously, although Meng De and I only met in Pingshui, and after a conversation, they each embarked on their own trips, but although the acquaintance was short, in my opinion, Brother Meng De is not like a person who cares too much about temporary gains and losses.

Besides, at this moment at this banquet, although some people seem to be proud of the spring breeze and have a wide range of troops under their command, they are actually too sharp, and in this troubled world, they are very vulnerable to attack.

If you don't have some real skills, I'm afraid that in a few years, the shape will take a sharp turn, so that things are not people, and the heroes of the Eighteen Roads present today don't know how many people can have a good death. ”

Zhao Hao said at this moment, while picking up the wine bowl in front of Cao Cao again, spoonful by spoonful, refilling the wine for him and handing it over.

Because the words were too straightforward, at this time, many people noticed the two of them here.

Therefore, in addition to talking, Zhao Hao also used some martial arts skills to control his voice around the two of them, and even the wine boy maid who was closest to Zhao Hao next to him couldn't hear what he was saying at this time.

Hearing someone's words, Cao Cao's face was stunned, the drunken look on his face retreated in an instant, and after staring at Zhao Hao for a while, he laughed.

"Hahaha! Linchen's words, I'm afraid it's a bit biased, now that Dong Zhuo has been removed, the world tends to be stable, and there are people like Linchen in the court, and which of the princes in the world dares to attack each other and make trouble?

Hehehe, it was a pleasure for you and me to meet again today, but I, Cao Mengde, have not yet had time, congratulations to Linchen on becoming a general.

Come on, I don't have anything long now, and I can only use the imperial wine in this palace to celebrate Linchen.

I can't say that one day in the future, I Cao Mengde will be down, and I have to come to Linchen to take refuge in you, at that time, Linchen will not recognize me Cao Mengde, hahahahaha!

"If there is really such a day, if Brother Meng De is willing to come to me, I, Zhao Hao, will definitely be willing, sweep the couch to greet each other, and regard Brother Meng De as a mentor and friend. ”

Zhao Hao raised his head and poured the bowl into his mouth, but this time Cao Cao took the initiative, took his wine bowl over, and poured wine for Zhao Hao.

The movements are very quick, how can there be a little bit of drunkenness before.

And Zhao Hao naturally won't take Cao Cao's previous words seriously, as a modern person, he has almost grown up watching and listening to Cao Mengde's story since he was a child.

At this time, Cao Cao, compared with the other princes present, although his fief was small, although his tasks were difficult, his status was far behind others.

But with the ability of this human lord and the natural personality charm, I am afraid that it will not take a few years to develop and operate a strong land.

In this troubled world, he will eventually occupy his place.

"Now Linchen is a general, and he is the one who holds the bull's ear of the military attache of the dynasty, and he is in a high position, but he doesn't know, in Linchen's opinion, now that my Han dynasty is in the imperial dynasty, what should I do next?"

Obviously, the appearance of Zhao Hao is a great variable for a person like Cao Cao who is interested in the world, and it will even affect his future development and action intentions in the future.

So before officially leaving, Cao Cao felt that it was necessary for him to find out Zhao Hao's intentions and purposes first, otherwise, he might not feel at ease.

"Accumulate grain, recruit more soldiers, and practice diligently to consolidate my Han family. ”

Zhao Hao took the wine in front of him, took a sip, and said very bluntly.

It is said that the wine quoted at this banquet is not a special royal wine, which is really extraordinary.

In addition, in this world of the Peerless Three Kingdoms, the aura of heaven and earth is very abundant, even in the system space, it is much inferior, so the taste of this wine is really not to be said.

Whether it is the warm taste, or its mellow and ancient taste, it is the best choice, even if it is compared to the world's first wine that has been dusted for more than a hundred years, it is not inferior!

"Alas, Linchen's words are really good words, and what is lacking in today's Han family is soldiers, as well as true heroes like Linchen who can argue the current situation and hold real power!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he also sighed lightly, and while praising him, his heart couldn't help but sink, with a slight flicker in his eyes, obviously thinking about something.

Obviously, if you really want to follow what Zhao Hao said, then in the future, the power of the Han royal family will increase day by day, and the Han dynasty will become extremely stable because of this.

A strong Han family is definitely not what an ambitious person like Cao Cao wants to see.

Because in this way, even if he Cao Mengde works hard all his life, the ultimate achievement he can achieve in the end may be a small local prince.

Judging from the current attitude of the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty towards him, the upward space for his Cao Cao in his career in the future may also be limited.

This is definitely not a situation that Cao Cao wants to see!

"Jin Yu's good words are true, what the Han Imperial Court needs at this moment is to recuperate and strengthen its own strength, but before that, there is still one thing to do. ”

Zhao Hao casually took a mouthful of food from the table, threw it into his mouth, and chewed slowly

"Oh, what's the matter?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

"I want to send troops to the Northern Expedition!"
