Zhang Chao was in full swing to prepare, and in the same month, that is, in May 184 AD, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were surrounded by the Yellow Turban general Bo Cai and his army in Changshe.

Cao Cao was ordered by the imperial court to lead an army to the rescue, and he himself came to Chenliu to borrow grain first.

At this time, Cao Cao had just been worshiped by the imperial court as a cavalry captain, and he was only less than thirty years old, but in fact, he had begun to show his head and feet.

Cao Cao, the word Mengde, the small character Apu, was a native of Peiguo County (now Bozhou, Anhui).

Father Cao Song is the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng, Cao Teng has served four generations of emperors, has a certain reputation, and was named Fei Tinghou when Emperor Huan of Han.

After Cao Teng's death, Cao Song inherited the marquis, and was the official to the rank of lieutenant during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

With such a relationship, the twenty-year-old Cao Cao was promoted to filial piety and entered Luoyang, Kyoto. Soon, he was appointed lieutenant of northern Luoyang. Later, he did not rely on the five-color stick to declare the ban and strictly enforce the law, and he became famous for a while. Later, he was appointed as a councilor, and until now he has served as a lieutenant.

Of course, these are all known to the world, and no one knows about Cao Cao's future, and I am afraid that he himself does not know that he will become the prime minister who holds the Son of Heaven hostage to make the princes in power, and will eventually become Emperor Taizu Wu of Wei.

If you want to say that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms, the indispensable person is this Cao Cao. Now that he has come to Chenliu for military affairs, after Zhang Chao knows about it, where is there a reason not to see him?

"Come on, prepare the car, go to the Taishou Mansion." Zhang Chao, who knew the news, simply cleaned up, and then called the guards to order.

In the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao sat on the ground, smiling when they saw each other.

To say that the private relationship between the two people is excellent. It was recorded in the history books that because Zhang Miao offended Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was ordered to intercept and kill, but instead of listening, he had a better relationship with him. This time, because of business and personal interests, the two naturally had to have a good talk when they met.

There is also a record that Cao Cao's first expedition to Tao Qian in Xuzhou told his family when he left, saying: "If I can't come back, you will go to Zhang Miao." After coming back, I saw Zhang Miao again, and the two were relatively in tears, which can be described as friends of life and death, which among the people Cao Cao interacted, few people can reach this level.

In this way, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is indeed extraordinary.

"Brother Meng De, rest assured, this time I have urged people to deal with the problem of grain and grass, and it will not take long to get it together, and it will not delay my brother's major affairs." In front of Cao Cao, Zhang Miao seemed to be reassuring.

"Hahaha, Meng Zhuo (Zhang Miaozi) is too polite, and I am naturally the most relieved of the things handed over to you." Cao Cao said with a friendly smile. In fact, he is indeed very relieved, with his understanding of Zhang Miao, he will do his best when it comes to national affairs.

"Hehe, Brother Meng De still understands me, so I can rest here first, as soon as the hour comes, everything will naturally be ready." For Cao Cao's trust in himself, Zhang Miao was also very moved.

Although many people were not optimistic about Cao Cao at that time, thinking that he relied on his father's shadow to get his current position, and even more people would say that he was willful and chivalrous, dissolute, and did not cultivate conduct and study. But as a person who knows him, Zhang Miao does know that the person in front of him is witty, alert, has the ability to make random trade-offs, and is brave and resourceful, and has a certain amount of force, such a person has a good chance to achieve great things in troubled times.

You can't go wrong with making friends with such people.

It was precisely because of this idea that Zhang Miao expressed a very welcoming attitude towards Cao Cao's arrival.

"The second son has arrived." At the front gate of the Taishou Mansion, the shouts of the guards were heard. Hearing this, Zhang Miao's eyes immediately turned, and while looking outside, his eyes were full of a hint of satisfaction.

For his brother, Zhang Miao can be said to be extremely satisfied. Perhaps because of the early death of his parents, his feelings for his brother are not just siblings. Moreover, Zhang Chao has been very competitive recently, and some of the poems he wrote have made many literati admire.

Zhang Miao, who doesn't have much knowledge, is proud to have such a brother. People who know him will often mention Zhang Chao, which will also make him feel very good, and what he is seeking at that time will also get twice the result with half the effort.

Now that he heard that the second brother was coming, Zhang Miao was overjoyed, he really wanted to introduce such a promising younger brother to his friends, especially a talent like Cao Cao, who he was very optimistic about.

Cao Cao also put down the glass of turbid wine in his hand at this time, and looked out the door with questions and curiosity.

For Zhang Chao, he naturally did some homework before he came, and he is also the brother of his friend Zhang Miao, so it is also a matter of concern to him. Naturally, I have heard of some things about it, such as being young, but it is indeed an export, and the essence of every word. And then there's the fact that the hero gets drunk.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao is also a good drinker. If you have to say that his three hobbies are power, wine and beauty.

When you hear about where there is good wine, you will naturally pay more attention. For the newly produced hero drunk, of course, he has to taste a thing or two. I just liked this sip as soon as I drank it, and now there are still a lot of strong fragrance heroes drunk at home.

In the attention of the two, Zhang Chao, who was dressed in white and looked personable, appeared in sight.

"Big brother." As soon as he saw Zhang Miao wearing a general's uniform, Zhang Chao, who was his younger brother, hurriedly saluted.

"Hehe, the second brother doesn't have to be like this. Come, let me introduce you, this is my best friend Cao Cao Cao Mengde. Brother Meng De, this is my younger brother Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Miao laughed and introduced the two to each other.

At this moment, Zhang Chao and Cao Cao were both looking at each other.

Cao Cao naturally looked at Zhang Chao's appearance. For this person who seems to be a Wenqu star, he was originally very curious.

Looking at it, on the surface, Zhang Chao seemed to be dressed very elegantly, but he didn't know why, he also felt a murderous aura, which seemed to be the kind of feeling that only a general who has experienced a hundred battles on the battlefield can give people.

Zhang Chao's eyes were naturally also looking at Cao Cao.

Seven feet long, thin eyes and long hair, he is also wearing a battle armor, and he still looks decent.

There is a trace of kindness in his eyes, but there is indeed an aura of arrogance in the depths of his eyes.

This is the traitor who said that he would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world should bear me; This is the Taizu and cornerstone who subverted the Han Dynasty and became the Wei State; Is this the old enemy who finally destroyed himself and his big brother?

In history, in the end, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao died at the hands of Cao Cao, although Chen Gong and Lu Bu both played a role in this. In particular, the former played a decisive role. But Zhang Chao himself believes that even if he doesn't have Chen Gong's heart to dominate the world, Cao Apu will not let go of the Zhang family. is the brother's righteous and straightforward personality, and in the end, it is rare to have a good death.

There is no successful person who does not like to listen to praise, and many times the disobedience is just self-defeating.

Naturally, in this life, this Zhang Chao is not the other Zhang Chao, he will never let the history of the Zhang family repeat itself, he will change his fate and eventually change the pattern and history of the world.

After the two looked at each other, Cao Cao laughed and said, "This is Zhiyuan, yes, as the name suggests, very good." ”

"Brother Meng De is overrated, but it's just a few articles, not worth mentioning. But my brother often talks about you, saying that you are a good minister in the world. Zhang Chao also smiled and saluted back.

The so-called good minister of the world is naturally not what Zhang Miao said personally, but Zhang Chao said it himself, and his brother would never oppose it. First, some things are not easy to debunk, and second, Zhang Miao is indeed full of good feelings towards Cao Cao now.

It was Cao Cao, hearing Zhang Chao say this, his eyes suddenly showed ecstasy and said: "Oh, how can I be virtuous, how can I let Brother Meng Zhuoxian praise me so much!" ”
