"You, hello!" After seeing Cao Cao, Liu Ye became even more nervous, and even stammered when he spoke.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Although I, Cao, am now in charge of Yanzhou's affairs, I am also an ordinary person who wants to eat and sleep, and I have no three heads and six arms, nor can I open my mouth to bite people, so you don't have to be restrained." His light-hearted humor made Liu Ye feel a little more relaxed, so he bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Under Liu Ye, meet Cao Gong!" ”

"I heard Fengxiao say that you are the queen of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu?"

"Yes." Liu Ye nodded in response.

Cao Cao sighed and said: "Now that the Han dynasty is declining, the princes everywhere have the heart of disobedience, and Cao's wish in this life is to seek all the traitors and revive the society!" ”

Liu Ye bowed again and said: "Cao Gong's ambition has been heard when he lived in the humble house of the mountain village, which is deafening, and it is really a blessing to see Cao Gong today!" ”

Cao Cao smiled, looked at the two people behind Liu Ye, and asked, "I don't know who these two are?" ”

Cao Cao only knew that Liu Ye brought a group of people in, but he didn't know who he was brought? Is it a friend or family, or a brother in the clan?

When Cao Cao raised his troops, he relied on the defection of his brothers in the family to develop and grow. And after Liu Ye was Liu Xiu, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, his family was the emperor's clan, and his background should not be underestimated.

Liu Ye smiled and introduced: "These two are friends I met on the road. ”

He first pointed at Mao Jue and said: "This benevolent brother is named Mao Jue, who once served as an official in the county, and is said to be very famous in the local area. ”

"Also, this is the superintendent of the county, his name is ......" Liu Ye pointed to the superintendent and wanted to introduce him, but he suddenly made a difficulty, because he still didn't know what the superintendent's name was.

At this time, Mao Jue walked out and said to Cao Cao: "Let me introduce it!" ”

"This person's name is Man Favor, the word Boning, a person from Shanyang, who has been both civil and military since childhood, was famous when he was young, and was recruited by the imperial court. He enforced the law strictly, was not afraid of the powerful, and offended many people, so his career was blocked, and he is still the county governor of the post, and he is a good friend of the next generation. ”

Mao Jue couldn't stand Liu Ye's shabby way of introduction, so he came to introduce his friend in person, and by the way, he showed the relationship between himself and Manzhong, one glory and two birds with one stone.

After being introduced by Mao Jue, Man Pet stood up and said, "Man Pet has seen Cao Gong!" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile after hearing this: "It turned out to be two virtuous people, Man Boning and Mao Xiaoxian, I, Cao Cao, have heard of the two famous names for a long time, and I can see them today, so as to quench my thirst for longing!" ”

Man Pet and Mao Jue glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts: He knows us?

"It's really my blessing to meet all the talented people today, come, let's talk while drinking!" Cao Cao said and invited Liu Ye and them to sit down, and after a while, the servant outside the door brought the wine bottle.

Liu Ye saw that it was actually drinking and asked, "Isn't it drinking tea?" ”

Cao Cao was strange and asked, "Why, doesn't Fengxiao drink when he's with you?" ”

Liu Ye smiled awkwardly and said, "Originally, I didn't drink, but since he took me to drink once, I occasionally drank a little with him." ”

Cao Cao laughed and said: "That's right, Fengxiao's alcohol consumption is so amazing, you and he are small, and he is the person he strongly recommends to me, the amount of alcohol will not be bad, come!" Cao Cao said and personally served him a bowl.

Liu Ye was flattered, so he naturally didn't dare to shirk anymore, and respectfully took the bowl of wine with both hands.

Then, Cao Cao served a bowl each for Man Zhong and Mao Jue, and finally served it to himself, and the servant stood aside, as if he had nothing to do.

Cao Cao saw that after he served wine for everyone, they seemed a little overwhelmed, so he smiled and said: "You have come here, you are not only guests, but also my friends, I do my best to entertain friends as a landlord, and serve wine for friends, why not?" ”

Man Pet raised the wine bowl and said: "I have long heard that Corporal Cao Gong Lixian is kind to others, and I see it today, if this is the case, I have seen many state and county officials, none of them can compare to Cao Gong's open-minded spirit, and he is not satisfied, just to express his heart with this wine, and respect Cao Gong!" Saying that, he raised his head and drank it all, he was not only straightforward, but also the amount of wine was not bad, and it was no problem to drink a bowl of wine in one gulp.

Mao Jue and Liu Ye looked at each other, they didn't have such a good amount of wine, they wanted to drink while talking, and drink a sip or two when appropriate, who knew that this full pet would dry up a bowl as soon as it came up, bringing up the rhythm, so that they didn't drink it, and they didn't drink it.

It was Mao Jue who took the lead in speaking out, he also picked up the wine bowl and said to Cao Cao: "As the governor of Yanzhou, Cao Gong is humble and humble like a valley, not only does he not look down on us because of our humble status, but also treats us as guests, looking at the world, how many people can do it?" I think that only the ancestor Liu Bang in the past, and Zhou Gongdan will be like this, and I also respect Cao Gong for a bowl! Mao Jue said, raised the bowl, regardless of whether he could drink it or not, closed his eyes, stiffened his head, and poured it into his mouth, and drank it in three or two times, Mao Jue hiccuped, his eyes were blurred, and his face was ruddy.

Only Liu Ye hasn't said it yet, he took the wine, and thought to himself that he had finished speaking, what should he say?

Cao Cao saw his embarrassment, so he picked up the bowl himself and said to Liu Ye: "How can I, Cao, dare to compare with the sages?" In the past, Emperor Guangwu started on the ridge, but in the end he was able to destroy Wang Mang and level the world, this is a real hero, a real hero, and also a person I respect the most in Cao, here I respect Emperor Guangwu first! After that, he stretched out the bowl in front of Liu Ye, Liu Ye knew what he meant, and happily touched the wine bowl with him, and the two laughed and drank the bowl of wine together.
