Si Li, Luoyang. Seeing Ma Chao in Luoyang, he knew what it meant to be majestic and magnificent, and he couldn't be blamed for this, although Ma Chao's home was Maoling on the right side of Si Li, but it was really the first time to come to Luoyang.

Ma Chao continued to think about the problems he was thinking about on the road, of course he would not come to Ruoyang for no reason, now he is still white, in order to lay the foundation for the future great cause, this time he came to Luoyang to seek an official and a half-job.

Although he doesn't know the age limit for being an official in Dahan, he thinks that he is only thirteen years old this year, but no matter from his appearance or his speech and demeanor, he says that he is twenty years old, and I believe that some people will believe it, so age is not a problem.

As for the question of how to get an official position, it is even simpler, it is now the period when Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty sold his official position, of course, Liu Hong is not called Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty now, and the money to buy the official is not a problem.

Although Ma Chao can buy an official by himself, now he thinks more about the best someone to introduce him to Zhang Rang, after all, it is impossible to deal with him only this time. If someone introduces themselves to Zhang Rang, then if there is anything to do in the future, it will be regarded as a rebirth, and two acquaintances.

What should I do about this, suddenly at this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, and he only heard him say to himself: "By the way, how did you forget him!" ”

Naturally, he didn't recognize half of the people in Luoyang, but after entering the city, he reminded him of a person. If this person is still in Luoyang, maybe he can really help himself. Just do it when you think of it, Ma Chao inquired about many people, and finally found out the residence of the person he was looking for, thank God, he was still in Luoyang or he was now in Luoyang.

Ma Chao came to the door of a mansion, and he didn't know how many places like this there were in the whole Luoyang, but he didn't dare not pay attention to this place, not because he was asking for someone, but because of the owner of the place.

Ma Chao came to the door and knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man came out of the house, about fifty years old, "May I ask who you are?" ”

Ma Chao hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Trouble the old man to go to the courtesy, just say that Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi came to visit!" ”

The old man nodded, "Okay, please wait." Ma Chao hurriedly thanked him.

After a while, I only heard someone say: "Ha Lu haha, I don't know that Brother Meng Qixian is coming to the cold house, and I, the master, have lost sight, guilty, guilty!" ”

Before the person arrived, the sound came first, which shows that the person who came was still very eager to see Ma Chaomian. Came out in person? This made Ma Chao a little surprised, but what was more interesting was that he felt that he had already started to call him a brother before they met, but this is fine, anyway, they are acquaintances sooner or later.

The person who spoke had already arrived in front of Ma Chao and looked him up and down, and Ma Chao also looked at the person who came. The person who came was in his twenties, not tall, and looked like he was more than seven feet and less than eight feet. There is nothing surprising about the appearance, if you want to say that there is, it is a little dark, and I don't know if it is born like this, or if it is tanned the day after tomorrow.

Ma Chao hugged his fists, "The little brother has admired Brother Mengde's name for a long time, and today I came to visit Brother Mengde, and I also have something to ask for!" ”

That's right, it was Cao Cao who Ma Chao came to visit, and he felt that Cao Cao could help him.

When Cao Cao heard this, he praised Ma Chao in his heart. Don't look at each other, but he appreciates Ma Chao's honesty.

"Hahaha, yes, yes. But this is not the place to speak, please be in the virtuous brother! ”

"Brother Mengde, please!"

Cao Cao took Ma Chao's hand and walked towards the mansion, while Ma Chao's white lion was handed over to the old man from before. Ma Chao's hand was pulled by Cao Cao, although he was not used to it, but he did not object. The heart said that Cao Cao is too hospitable, and it looks like he has known himself for a long time, which is really strange.

Cao Cao pulled Ma Chao into the living room and invited Ma Chao to take a seat, but Ma Chao was not polite. After the two parties took their seats, Ma Chao asked Cao Cao the doubts in his heart: "Brother Meng De knows me?" ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, "Then I'll ask Brother Xian first, how does Brother Xian recognize me?" ”

Ma Chaoxin said, I don't know you, but your name is like thunder to me, if I haven't heard of it, I will live for nothing, no, I will live for nothing.

"This, Brother Meng De used to be the captain of the northern part of Luoyang, and set up a five-color stick...... Ma Chao briefly talked about Cao Cao's strict decrees, and finally killed Uncle Jian Shuo. There are many people who know about this matter, and it is also a very famous thing for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded, "Yes, the virtuous brothers have heard about the things of the brothers in the past, and now the things of the virtuous brothers, the ears of the brothers are even more cocooned!" ”

Ma Chao was confused when he heard it, "Dare to ask Brother Meng De, what's the matter with the younger brother?" Isn't it also famous? ”

Cao Cao didn't expect Ma Chao to ask such a question, but it seems that Ma Chao really doesn't know much about it.

"Where did the virtuous brother come from?"

"Changsha County."

As soon as Cao Cao heard it, it was no wonder that he came from afar, of course, he didn't pay attention to this.

"I don't think Brother Xian has cared about things outside the window for a long time, right?"

Ma Chaoxin said, I really haven't paid attention to anything, I left Yuzhou and went to Wancheng, I only cared about Huang Xu's illness in Wancheng, and then went to Changsha, didn't I just come from Changsha. I really haven't paid much attention to the trends in the world, but it seems that there are no big events this year.

"What Brother Meng De said is good, the younger brother really hasn't cared much about it for a long time, and I'm ashamed to say it."

Cao Cao patted the long case with his hand, "That's it, Brother Xian knows that you have become famous all over the world!" ”

Ma Chao was surprised when he heard this, and said in his heart that this is really fake, he is famous? Is it still famous all over the world?

"This, dare to ask Brother Meng De, where did this start? The little brother really doesn't know! ”

Cao Cao laughed again, "I think the virtuous brother is too busy all day, so the noble man forgets things!" Where to start, let's start with the exchange conference of Yingchuan Academy last year! ”

He looked at Ma Chao as he spoke, and Ma Chao suddenly realized that it was last year in Yingchuan Academy. But he thought again, no, he became so famous, why didn't he hear about it.

This can't be blamed on him, Ma Chao became famous at the quadrennial Yingchuan Academy Exchange Conference, and spread to other places from Yingchuan Yangzhai. At that time, Ma Chao was hanging out with Guo Jia in Guo's Mansion all day, and the two were idle all day long. Ma Chao has never paid attention to the first thing in the exchange conference, and Guo Jia, this kid, has never mentioned this, and when he left Yingchuan Yangzhai, half a year has passed, so naturally no one often talks about it.

As for the later came to Nanyang Wancheng and then went to Changsha Linxiang, Huang Zhong is a military general, he doesn't pay so much attention to Shilin's affairs, even if he has heard of Ma Chao, he can't think too much, not to mention that at that time his mind was full of his son Huang Xu's illness, how could he think too much else.

Not to mention Zhang Ji, all he thinks about one day is how to treat diseases and save people, write "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", and spend the rest of his time seeing people and handling official business.

Therefore, Ma Chao is forgivable for not knowing that he has a reputation, and only people like Cao Cao, who pay more attention to Shilin, love literature, and like to make friends, can remember Ma Chao's name firmly.

And he particularly appreciates Ma Chao's talent, it can be said that he has already memorized "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" and "For Learning" backwards, not just saying that he can memorize it, even his son, Cao Ang, who is more than six years old this year, was forced by Cao Cao to memorize "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" and "For Learning".

However, for "For Learning", Cao Cao asked Cao Ang not only to be able to memorize, but also to fully understand the meaning of the first few sentences, it can be said that because of Ma Chao's poems and essays, Cao Ang was unlucky.

However, it can be seen from this that there are two points, the first is that Cao Cao is a father who is strict with his children, and the second point is that it can be seen that Cao Cao admires Ma Chao's masterpiece very much, which is something that his son must learn.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Ma Chao smiled bitterly, as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, so why are they afraid of being strong. I'm famous, and it seems like it's good, but it's not. There are pros and cons to everything, didn't you see that Cao Cao had already paid attention to himself, and it was definitely not a good thing to be prematurely followed by his future opponents. But this is indeed beneficial, at least I guess I opened my mouth to ask Cao Cao once, and he shouldn't shirk it.

"Brother Meng De really woke up the person in the dream with a word, if it weren't for Brother Meng De, the younger brother still didn't know that he already had such a reputation!"

Ma Chao was indeed very grateful to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao waved his hand, "Brother Xian is polite, even if you don't say it for your brother, Brother Xian will know about this matter sooner or later!" ”

Cao Cao thinks Ma Chao is very interesting, he is so famous, he doesn't even know Lu Dao, I really don't know what Lu Dao is like every day.

"By the way, Brother Xian said that he was looking for a brother if he had something, so let's get down to business!"

"What Brother Meng De said is good, the younger brother really has something to worry about!"

"Brother Xian has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Ma Chao gave Cao Cao a good impression, with his thoughts, as long as it is within his ability, then he will definitely do his best. Ma Chao nodded after hearing this, "Please ask Brother Meng De to introduce the younger brother to one person, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he thought to himself that this was the case, but who do you want me to introduce you to? Even if it's the emperor, it's no problem, but if Your Majesty doesn't see you, you don't know the way. As for the people in the DPRK and China, as long as they are acquaintances, they are generally fine, but if they are not familiar with each other, I am afraid that they may not be able to give face.

"Please also ask Brother Xian to explain, who do you want Brother Wei to introduce you to?" Cao Cao looked at Ma Chao and said.

Ma Chao understood that Cao Cao meant that he had to tell me who you asked me to introduce you to, and then I knew if Lu Dao could help.

"Zhang-Jean!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned, very slightly but immediately relaxed. To be honest, he was particularly embarrassed, quite embarrassed. Because of Zhang Rang, but also because of Ma Chao. If you want to say that in the entire court, who is Cao Cao the most reluctant to contact, the most unwilling to socialize, and the most unwilling to see, it is Zhang Rang.

He really didn't want to deal with Zhang Rang, Cao Cao didn't look down on Zhang Rang, but in his eyes, if there was no Zhang Rang and those people, the current situation of the Han would be much, much better than it is now, it can be said that the Han let Zhang let them influence a lot, but he was powerless to change anything, so he didn't want to have any contact with Zhang Rang.

As soon as he saw the other party, Cao Cao had to sigh in his heart, he really didn't want to go to Zhang Rang and introduce him to someone. But because it was Ma Chao who begged him, Cao Cao was embarrassed, if it was someone else, even if it was his own clansman, he would refuse. But because it is Ma Chao, he has to think about it carefully and can't easily refuse.

Cao Cao understood what Ma Chao meant, and when he saw that Zhang Rang's people were nothing more than buying officials or dredging up relationships, he wanted Zhang Rang to help him say a few kind words in front of His Majesty.

Ma Chao is still white now, so naturally he can only be the former, and asking for his own introduction is nothing more than wanting to have a good relationship with Zhang Rangxian.

If it were someone else, it would be impossible, don't even think about it. But Ma Chao, in Cao Cao's eyes, it is a rare talent, and Dahan needs talents, and talents like Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi need to join, so buying an official is definitely the fastest way.

And if you want to let yourself help introduce Zhang Rang, it's not that you can't. Cao Cao is dedicated to the Han Dynasty, which is not bad at all, because he doesn't want the court to miss a talented person, so the balance in his heart has tilted towards Ma Chao.

I only heard him ask Ma Chao: "May I ask the ambition of the virtuous brother?" ”

Here, Ma Chaoxin said. Whether you can ask Cao Cao to help with this, as long as you can impress him, it will naturally be fine.

"Brother Meng De, do you know the ancestor of my Ma family?" Ma Chao asked Cao Cao.

Cao Cao shook his head and said he didn't know, "I don't know if I'm a brother, please talk about it!" ”

"The ancestor is the Han Fubo general Ma Yuangong!" Ma Chao said proudly that he was indeed proud to have such an ancestor.

"It turns out that the virtuous brother is a famous family, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Cao Cao also admired Ma Yuan, no matter how the Ma family declined, but this ancestor could not be changed. And as soon as he heard Ma Yuan, he was also in awe.

Ma Chao continued: "The ambition of the younger brother in his life is to be like the ancestors, to be a general on the battlefield, and to lead thousands of troops to break through thousands of enemies! ”

After a pause, he said again: "And the only wish of the younger brother is to lead my Han hot-blooded man, expel Hu Lu, and strengthen my Han Tianwei!" Let the aliens understand that those who offend my great Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away! ”

"Okay, hahaha, okay!" Cao Cao listened to Ma Chao's words and took the case.

"The virtuous brother can be like this, it is really the blessing of the Han and the blessing of the people! Your favor is for your brother, everyone in the world should be like a virtuous brother, so how can there be such a rampant alien race today! ”

Ma Chao looked at Cao Cao, who was slightly excited, and he secretly admired it in his heart, although he didn't like or hate Cao Cao. But Cao Cao did his best for the Han, even he admired it very much, and now he promised to introduce himself to Zhang Rang, it can be said that he already owes a big favor when he first came to Luoyang, and this favor is still owed to Cao Cao, how can it be okay in the future.
