Chapter 277 Give him more benefits

In the past, Lu Bu sent people to Xudu, and they always wanted to show their merits. Even if they asked for money, they only wanted money and food, not official titles that were of no great use at all.

Since Cao Cao welcomed Liu Xie to Xudu, he also sent out a lot of officials.

But no matter how big an official he is, he never gives salaries and benefits to officials, it is just an official position in the name of the court.

In the past, Lu Bu had no interest in official positions at all, but this time he took the initiative to ask for an official position, which was indeed beyond Cao Cao's expectations.

"I remember that he has been named General Zuo." Cao Cao asked, "Does he still want to be a general?"

"No." Xun Yu said, "What he wants is the title of Marquis of Chu."

"Marquis of Chu..." Cao Cao thought for a while, and said to Xun Yu, "Lv Bu occupies Xuzhou, and now Pengcheng is the center. Could it be that he wants to compare himself to the overlord of Chu?"

"It would be a good thing for my lord if he compares himself to the overlord of Western Chu." Xun Yu replied, "Recently, Lv Bu has been too smooth, and in good times, people are easy to swell. Once he thinks that his achievements are extraordinary, That's when he came to the end."

"Wen Ruo means..." Cao Cao asked what Xun Yu meant.

Xun Yu replied: "I mean, since he wants it, why not give it to him. After getting the title of Marquis of Chu, Lu Bu must be more arrogant than before. Once he is arrogant, he will not be able to see the current situation clearly, my lord. To attack him again is easier than giving nothing."

"Wen Ruo is right." Cao Cao nodded after he understood, "I will not only give him the title of Marquis of Chu, but also give him some other benefits."

"What benefits does the lord intend to give him?" Xun Yu asked.

"Lü Bu is greedy and lustful, but he has the heart of a hero. Of course you can't give me anything on horseback." Cao Cao had a strange smile on his lips: "As a man, he has two things to ride. One is a horse. Conquering the world on the back of a horse can achieve great achievements. The other is a woman, riding on a woman, indulging in this will only kill people's fighting spirit, and from then on they will just linger in the gentle country."

"I heard that there are already a lot of beauties in Lu Bu's back house." Xun Yu shook his head with a smile: "Earlier, Dong Cheng gave him seven beauties, and he later collected some by himself. My lord will give him beauties again, I'm afraid he has the intention to collect them. But nowhere."

"Lü Bu is very brave. With his physique, he can't deal with these women." Cao Cao said, "I'll send him a few more, so that he can be more gentle in the back house, lingering on the bellies of beauties all day long. Thinking about leading the conquest? Once Lu Bu is addicted to beauty, no matter how tough his subordinates are, they will not be able to do anything against me."

"What the lord said is true." Xun Yu agreed, and then asked Cao Cao, "Dare to ask the lord, when do you plan to meet Lu Zijing?"

"Since you have already mentioned it, I will see him in the afternoon." Cao Cao first agreed to meet Lu Su, and then asked Xun Yu, "Is there anything else besides this?"

"There is still a private matter about Lu Zijing." Xun Yu replied, "He wants to see His Majesty."

"A meeting with His Majesty?" Cao Cao frowned, "What is he going to do?"

"I don't think he has any intentions." Xun Yu replied: "Your Majesty is in Xudu, even if he has some schemes, can he still steal His Majesty under strict supervision?"

"Wen Ruo said the same thing." He didn't pay much attention to Liu Xie at all, thinking that he, the puppet emperor, would not be able to cause any disturbances. Cao Cao said not too concerned: "Since he wants to see him, let him go see him." gone."

"With my lord's words, I can make arrangements." Xun Yu said to Cao Cao, "I will go to see Lu Zijing first, and ask him to come to see the lord in the afternoon."

Xun Yu resigned and left, Cao Cao also felt a lot more relaxed.

Lu Bu has grown too fast recently, which makes him feel very uneasy.

Although Lu Bu had sworn to serve, Cao Cao did not believe that he was sincere at all.

When dealing with Lu Bu, Cao Cao always had the idea of ​​using it if he could use it, and getting rid of him if he couldn't use it.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Bu's growth rate exceeded the limit he could bear, he would not have made the decision to unite with Yuan Shao to get rid of Lu Bu first.

Lu Su met Xun Yu the night before, returned to his residence, and stayed up almost all night.

It wasn't until dawn that he fell asleep.

The guards didn't dare to disturb him and let him fall asleep in the room.

It wasn't until almost lunch time that the guard reported to Lu Su that it was Xun Yu's visit.

Instructing the guards to ask Xun Yu to wait in the side room first, Lu Su hurriedly got up to wash.

With just getting tired, he came to the room where Xun Yu was.

After entering the room, Lu Su bowed to Xun Yu: "Last night I slept so late that I only got up now, and I welcome you late. Please don't blame Xun Yu."

Lu Su bluntly said that he didn't sleep well because he knew very well that with Xun Yu's eyesight, it was absolutely impossible not to see that he didn't sleep much the night before.

Instead of hiding it, it's better to admit it frankly, the latter is easier to say.

Xun Yu smiled slightly and asked Lu Su, "What was Zijing thinking about last night? Why didn't he sleep all night?"

"It's not because of Marquis Wen's business." Lu Su sighed: "It's difficult to do what you've been entrusted to do. No matter if it succeeds or not, Mr. Cao will always see me..."

"I came here just to tell Zijing that my lord promised to meet you in the afternoon." Xun Yu asked with a smile, "Can Zijing sleep well tonight?"

"Thank you, Mr. Xun, for your mediation." Upon hearing this, Lu Su quickly bowed to Xun Yu.

"Zijing doesn't need to be like this. You have been here for a long time, and I also feel that the lord should meet, so I went to ask him to make time." Xun Yu said: "I have already brought the message, so I will leave first, and I will meet you in the afternoon." Come and invite Zijing to meet the lord together."

"It's getting late, and it's time for lunch." Lu Su said, "Brother Wen Ruo, why don't you stay here, and we can talk for a while, how about it?"

"Zijing is going to see the lord in the afternoon, and we can't drink." Xun Yu said with a smile: "When the lord meets Zijing and settles everything, I will host a banquet at home, what does Zijing think? "

"Brother Wen Ruo has helped you a lot, how can you bother to hold a banquet?" Lu Su said, "Even if it is a banquet, I should invite you, brother."

"Zijing is a guest when he comes to Xudu." Xun Yu said with a smile: "When I go to Pengcheng later, how about you entertain me with a banquet?"

"Since Brother Wen Ruo insists on it again and again, I can only respect it and obey!" Lu Su responded, and then said: "I will send Brother Wen Ruo!"

Lu Su sent Xun Yu out of the gate, the two stood at the door and said a few more words, Xun Yu said goodbye and left.

Watching Xun Yu go away, Lu Su was completely relieved.

As long as Cao Cao is willing to see him, Xu Du will not come in vain this time.
