Chapter 453: Ma Cao's Meeting (Part II)
"I haven't seen you for many days, Fengxiao has become a lot richer in Qingzhou." Xun Yu smiled and touched Guo Jia's stomach and laughed.
"That's it! There are countless delicious wines and delicacies in Qingzhou, as well as operas to watch, how about Wen if you don't come to Qingzhou too? ”
"There are also a lot of delicacies in Yanzhou, although there are no two pots, but there are also other fine wines, how about Fengxiao come to my Yanzhou?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and looked at Ma Cao and the others who were walking in front together.
There will be a war between Yanzhou and Qingzhou in the future.
It's just that now is not the time.
"Look at these dishes, I specially asked the chef to prepare, I know that Meng De loves chicken, this has roast chicken, chicken stewed mushrooms, fried chicken, white cut chicken, all of which Meng De loves to eat that day!"
Cao Cao laughed and said, "I didn't expect Ma Yuanjun to remember the past of the year, speaking of which, my dog and your sister Lin Zhi were very good friends that day, I don't know if you are married?" ”
What do you mean?
Want to get married?
Ma Qiang took a glass of wine, took a sip hesitantly, and then said, "That's not it, I can't control her, she's also young, but I'm not in a hurry, don't talk about this, I heard that Mrs. Bian is pregnant again, you are so blessed!" ”
When Cao Cao heard Ma Qiang say this, he naturally wouldn't be bored, so everyone began to talk only about Fengyue, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others are all people who can speak well, and the scene is happy, Zhao Yun, Xiahou and others have also seen in the past, although they have no friendship, they can also talk and eat.
After being full of wine and food, Ma Qiang got up and asked, "Meng De, how is my food here?" ”
"You Ma Qingzhou's cook is the best in the world, I just hate not to take her away!"
Although Ma Qiang is not very good at cooking, he has eaten it anyway, and told the cooks about the food in later generations, and let them try to do it.
It's a pity that Ma Qiang has never gotten many ingredients in later generations, such as chili peppers or something, and there are always some dishes that are not made with that taste.
"If you can't take it away, you can stay for a few more days!"
"Hey, Yanzhou has a lot of affairs, but I can't stay."
"In that case, how about we go out for a walk?"
Cao Cao knew that this was about to talk about business, and nodded, "Walking after eating will help digestion, this is still what you said when you and I fought together against the Taishan thieves." ”
Ma Qiang looked at Cao Cao and couldn't help but sigh a little, today is the first time Cao Cao is talking about the past, and the emotional cards are about to go crazy.
It seems that Cao Cao's pressure is not small.
Ma Qiang and Cao Cao walked together in the forest, Zhao Yun and others escorted more than ten steps behind, and there were already many soldiers gathered in this vicinity, but they were not worried about assassins or fierce beasts.
"What are Ma Yuanjun's ambitions now?" Cao Cao asked as he walked.
"If there is a big chaos today, from the Son of Heaven to the people, there is no one who is not suffering, I think I still have some ability, and there are some people who support it, hoping to save the Son of Heaven and the people, so that everyone can have a peaceful life."
"Peaceful days.."
"Rather for the peace dog, not for the troubled world, Meng De should know that I am in Qingtian, Qingtian, at the same time, I am also counting the population, in just a few years, Qingzhou has died of four or five hundred thousand due to war and disease, how many people have been killed and injured in the whole Han in recent years.
These people are all living beings, they are the people of our Han Dynasty, and they are our fathers and fellow villagers! ”
Cao Cao couldn't help sighing, he came out of Luoyang, running around, I don't know how many tribulations he has experienced, how many deaths he has seen, recalling that when Liu Hong was in power, although there was some chaos and some annoyance to the eunuchs, but most of the people can still live, why are the eunuchs gone now, but the world is like this.
Cao Cao has not yet found the answer.
But he believed he would find it.
"Liu Dai attacked me, it should be Yuan Shao's order." Ma Qiang asked with a smile.
"The two did exchange letters, but I don't know what they were."
Ma Qiang nodded and continued, "Yuan Shao usurped Jizhou, Han Envoy Jun was almost killed, he begged me, I am reasonable, I want to recapture Jizhou for him." ”
Cao Cao, don't worry about Jizhou's affairs, just stay in Yanzhou.
Cao Cao didn't think about mediating the dispute in Jizhou, to put it bluntly, if Ma Qiang and Yuan Shao reconciled, Cao Cao himself would have to worry.
"The dispute in Jizhou has nothing to do with Yanzhou, but Zhou Ang is my friend, he suffered a big defeat in Yuzhou, and I am ready to help him."
Oh? Ready to fight Yuanshu? It's weird to choose a brush experience.
However, Yuan Shu is in Yuzhou, too far away from Ma Qiang, Ma Qiang can't stand him, and Ma Qiang doesn't like Yuan Shu very much, his only worry is whether Cao Cao will kill Yuan Shu too strong.
"Yuan Shu's private assassination history should indeed be crusaded."
After Ma Qiang finished speaking, he changed his style and said, "But the real public enemy in the world is still Dong Zhuo, don't forget Brother Meng De." ”
What Ma Qiang hopes most is that Cao Cao will continue to fight Dong Zhuo with a feverish head.
It's a pity that Cao Cao is no longer the Cao Cao of the year.
"Dong Zhuo hid in the pass, if you want to capture, it is not easy, only by marching from Hebei and Henan at the same time can you win!"
Kindness? Let me take Hebei, you take Henan, and then fight Dong Zhuo together?
I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo will be dead by then, and the two of us will be the targets of each other's attacks.
Ma Qiang secretly complained in his heart, and at the same time estimated the gains and losses.
"Meng De and Yuan Benchu heard that they were young?"
You two aren't going to beat me together, are you?
"The two of us do have a great friendship, just like you and me."
I'm as good as the two of you, and whoever of you wins, I'll help whoever wins!
In the final analysis, Cao Cao really didn't want to get involved in the battle between Ma Qiang and Yuan Shao, he knew that his current strength was too weak, and once he got involved, he was afraid that he would be eaten by another person first.
Before Ma Yuan and Yuan completely separated the winner, Cao Cao was ready to be a fool.
"That being the case, I hope that you and I can one day enter Chang'an together and kill the national thieves!"
Come on, I agree, you go to the south, I go to Hebei, and neither of us should touch anyone for the time being.
Cao Cao let out a long breath in his heart, as long as Ma Qiang agreed, his eastern part would be considered stable.
"In addition, there is one more thing, I hope that the horse envoy will help me!"
"What?"
Cao Cao's eyes radiated a light, and he held Ma Qiang's hand and said, "In the past, you were the prime minister of the plains, and I was the prime minister of Jinan, I once asked you how the country is rich and strong, and you said that there is no agriculture, no business, no wealth, no work, no strength!" When the tax is reduced, the agriculture is stabilized, and the people are educated through science and education.
Later, you built a lot of construction in Qingzhou, cement, steel, porcelain, salt industry, as well as the school, hospital, and library, and built Qingzhou like a paradise on earth.
Today you are in Qingzhou, I am in Yanzhou, I am going to send a team to study in your Qingzhou, you can't hide it. ”
???
What do you mean?
You, Cao Cao, aren't you going to learn from me to climb the technology tree?
