New Lubu War

Chapter 213

Guandu.

The spacious Bingzhou army tent.

Lu Bu topped the list.

Below, left and right columns.

They are the original team of Cao Ying and the subordinates of Bingzhou.

The first person on the left is Cao Cao, followed by Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Huang, Li Dian... and nearly thirty people.

Yan Liang and Zhang He were also among them.

Of course, they had just surrendered to Cao and had to surrender to Lu. The two of them were quite embarrassed.

On the right, the first is Jia Xu, followed by Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Wen Chou, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hua Xiong, Li Ru, Chen Gong and so on.

There are more than [-] people in Caoying, and more than a hundred in Bingzhou!

Generals who have reached the level of "brave general" are invited to sit.

Comparing the two items, the levels of fierce generals are comparable.

The tiger generals and the Bingzhou army are slightly inferior, and there are fewer titans.

But the number of brave generals is several times that of Cao Ying!
Don't look at the brave generals in the Bingzhou Army, but they are all core generals among the princes of the world.

Even under Cao Cao's command, it is the same!

They are all battle-tested people, and their aura is obvious at a glance.

Looking at the Bingzhou Army on the opposite side, there are so many brave and skilled generals, Cao Cao and others all took a breath of air.

Thinking of the majesty of the Bingzhou army that he saw when he surrendered, he sighed in his heart.

"Even when our army was at its peak, it was far inferior to the Bingzhou Army."

By the way, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were not mentioned.

They are.

Not only there, but also standing on the left and right sides of Lu Bu.

Officially became a bodyguard!
They were all dressed in armor, one was holding a pair of iron halberds, the other was holding a heavy sword, and they were only a stone's throw away from Lu Bu!
However, the two looked very strange.

How queer and queer!
It's not strange that the person who was about to kill and then quickly became the object of protection at this moment.

They don't have superb acting skills, and they don't have a city mansion that is indifferent.

Therefore, emotions such as awkwardness, discomfort, and embarrassment constantly surfaced and circulated on the two fierce faces...

Obviously, he has not adapted to the position of Lu Bu's personal bodyguard.

Delicious beef, mutton, various dishes, and fine wines were brought up like flowing water, and delivered to everyone's table one by one.

This is a feast.

Welcome to the feast of Cao Cao and his subordinates!
Of course, it is a good banquet, not a Hongmen banquet.

"I am so happy to have Mr. Cao today, I am so relieved!"

Holding up the wine bottle filled with wine on the case table, Lu Bu laughed loudly and said:
"Come, come, drink, drink!"

Everyone held up the wine bottles with both hands and respected Lu Bu from a distance.

"My lord, please!"

Jia Xu on the right, Zhang Liao and more than a hundred people shouted in unison.

"General please!"

On the left, Cao Cao and others also held their bottles and shouted.

"My lords, please!"

The wine bottle in his hand was respected from left to right, and he was the first to drink this bottle of wine. Lu Bu was in a good mood.

Cao Cao was finally captured.

Once Cao Cao is captured, generals such as Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan, and counselors such as Xun You and Guo Jia will naturally become their subordinates.

Cao Cao is not a fool, how could he hold on to these old minions?

Except for the Xiahou clan and the Cao clan, the others and Cao Cao are nothing more than a simple benefactor relationship.

In the future, Lu Bu will treat everyone equally and will not be partial. As long as he makes contributions, he will not lack the rewards he deserves.

As time goes by, the old relationship will naturally fade away.

Lu Bu was not worried.

They are all real people, people with complicated psychology, how can they hold on to a rope?
Not playing games?

Whether it is counselors such as Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, or generals such as Xu Huang, Yan Liang, Zhang He, Li Dian, Yu Jin, etc., follow Cao Cao, what do you want?
It's not like being a marquis for thousands of miles, leaving a name in history!

Even Cao Cao's direct descendants, the Xiahou family and the Cao family, cannot escape this idea.

Of course, most people don't have such lofty ideals, all they need is high officials and rich nobles!

Lu Bu can give all these.

The premise is to make credit.

All of you here are people who have left their names in history, and they have this ability!

Heroes and heroes of the present age, seeking fame and fortune, as long as they recognize the lord, they will naturally work hard.

And Lu Bu is bound to give them unexpected surprises.

Therefore, in the future, don't worry that these people will not really return to their hearts.

The banquet is carried out in a cheerful atmosphere.

On the way, Cao Cao raised his wine bottle and respected Lu Bu from a distance:

"The army under the general's command is majestic and mighty like a rainbow, sweeping away Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Ma Teng, Sun Ce and others is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand!"

"Congratulations to the general in advance, sweeping Liuhe and leveling the world!"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, Lu Bu raised the wine bottle, touched Cao Cao away, and said with a smile:

"Good talk, good talk!"

After all, drink it in one gulp.

For someone else, you might have to be modest at this time, saying something like "it's too good to be true", "it's not finished yet, it's too early to say it at this time" and so on.

But Lu Bu did not.

No need.

If he can't rule the world, who can?

The strong don't need to be overly humble.

Looking at Lu Bu's handsome appearance while drinking, Cao Cao couldn't understand the meaning in his heart.

Although it was a simple perfunctory, he saw the soaring arrogance and unparalleled confidence!

For no reason, it gives people an idea that it must be so.

"It's really domineering and unparalleled, swallowing mountains and rivers with arrogance, and holding the universe in your chest!"

Cao Cao thought to himself.

"correct!"

At this moment, Lu Bu, who had finished drinking, looked at Cao Cao and said:
"Meng De, there is something that needs to be told to you in advance!"

Cao Cao immediately cupped his fists and asked respectfully:
"Dare to ask the general to show me!"

"Under my command, there are civil and military positions, but no titles!"

Shaking the empty wine bottle in his hand, Lu Bu said:

"So, Meng De and the princes, all previous titles will be invalidated!"

Concisely and concisely said this sentence, and looked at Cao Cao and all the former Cao Ying civil servants and generals, Lu Bu continued:

"Of course, there will be titles in the future, but we will start from scratch, and all previous titles will not be accepted!"

"Not only you, but also Mr. Wen He and Wen Yuan, and they don't have titles right now!"

"For the specific situation, you can ask Wenhe, Wenyuan, etc. in the future!"

Yes, under Lu Bu's command, there is no such thing as a knighthood.

At least, not now.

Although the salaries of each position are very generous, it is true that no one is knighted.

The reason for this is that the current titles are too overflowing.

During the period of Emperor Han Ling, titles began to flood.

If you have money, you can buy it, can it not be flooded?
During Dong Zhuo's reign, the title was granted casually, without any bottom line at all.

When Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, he also casually swayed the official positions and titles of the court.

All of this has resulted in the current knighthood becoming less and less valuable.

In view of this, Lu Bu simply refused to seal it!

Of course, regardless of civil or military, the salary of each position is very generous, enough to satisfy everyone.

Bingzhou is rich, so the salary is naturally generous.

In addition, the title system is part of the military merit system and must be available.

Therefore, Lu Bu will re-establish the title system in the future, and strictly distribute according to merit.

But that's for later.
