The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 278 How Can You Allow Him
After seeing off Xun Yu, Lu Su returned to the room.

Since he was going to see Cao Cao in the afternoon, of course he didn't drink a drop of wine at noon, he just ate something casually and lay down to sleep.

After about an hour's sleep, the guard reported that it was Xun Yu who asked to see him.

Washing up hastily, Lu Su came out to greet her.

Seeing Xun Yu, Lu Su bowed and said, "Brother Wen Ruo!"

Xun Yu bowed back and said to Lu Su: "It's already afternoon, I came here specially to ask Zi Jing to go see the lord together."

"Thank you, Brother Wen Ruo." Lu Su thanked, and accompanied Xun Yu out.

Walking on the road, Xun Yu asked him, "Marquis Wen won Jiangdong, what plans does he have in the future?"

"I don't know what Marquis Wen's plan is." Lu Su replied, "Actually, I just met him briefly, and then came to Xudu."

"Meet in a hurry?" Xun Yu asked, "You are not familiar with Marquis Wen?"

"I'm an old friend with Zhou Gongjin. I planned to go to serve Zheng Bao, but I didn't want Gongjin to look for me." Lu Su replied, "He took me to meet Marquis Wen, and that's why I came to Xudu."

"It turns out that Zijing and Marquis Wen are not familiar." Xun Yu asked, "I don't know if Zijing is willing to stay in Xudu. With your talent, my lord will definitely put it to good use."

"If someone had asked me to vote for Duke Cao earlier, I would definitely have no hesitation." Lu Su replied, "It's a pity that I have voted for Marquis Wen now. There is no reason to lose faith in Qin Muchu."

"That's what Zijing said." Xun Yu nodded.

The two were talking and came to Cao Cao's residence.

When he reached the gate, Xun Yu said to Lu Su: "Zijing, don't come up and ask for an official position for Marquis Wen after seeing the lord."

"I came here just to ask for an official position." Lu Su asked, "Why can't I go straight in?"

"My lord already knows what Zijing is here for, so there's no need to tell him directly." Xun Yu replied, "It's not too late to talk to him about the purpose after the lord and Zijing's conversation continues."

"I understand." Lu Su agreed.

Leading him to Cao Cao's study, Lu Su saw that besides a few guards, there was also an extremely burly general standing outside the study.

The general has broad shoulders and a round waist, his eyes are staring like a bull's eye, which makes people feel a little scared when they see it.

Having never had contact with Cao Cao, Lu Su certainly didn't know that this general was Xu Chu, Cao Cao's fierce general.

Seeing Xun Yu coming with Lu Su, Xu Chu stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Xun, is this the envoy sent by Lu Fengxian?"

"Lu Zijing is a well-known scholar in Jiangdong." Xun Yu said to Xu Chu, "I ask the general to report to my lord that Zijing is here."

"Xun Gong wait a moment." Xu Chu agreed, turned and walked into the study.

But in an instant he withdrew again, and said to Xun Yu, "My lord, please come in."

Xun Yu then greeted Lu Su to enter the study together.

Passing by Xu Chu, Lu Su subconsciously took another look at him.

Lu Su had met Lu Bu, and in terms of height, Xu Chu might be shorter than Lu Bu.

But in terms of physique, Lu Bu, who was wearing armor, was really not as big as Xu Chu.

Lu Bu's body is well-proportioned, while Xu Chu's arms are broad and his waist is round, which makes him look more powerful.

Lu Su looked at Xu Chu, and Xu Chu also looked at him.

Realizing that he couldn't stare at people, Lu Su quickly turned his head and followed Xun Yu into the room.

In the study, Cao Cao was looking at a scroll of letters.

The two walked in, and he put the letter on the table, and looked at Lu Su with a smile: "Zijing has been here in Xudu for a few days, is everything going well?"

"I came to Xudu to talk to Cao Gong about something important, but Cao Gong avoided seeing him. How could it get better?" Lu Su said, "Cao Gong met me today and said something, so I should go back. Pengcheng has gone."

"Zijing is in such a hurry to leave?" Lu Su's words contained dissatisfaction. Cao Cao was not angry but replied with a smile: "I have too many things recently, and I want to meet Zijing, but I really can't get out. Please don't be surprised."

As a hero of one side, Cao Cao could actually ask Lu Su not to blame him. This kind of mind is not something ordinary people can have.

Even if Lu Su has a thousand dissatisfaction, Cao Cao's words are enough.

"I'm actually here for Marquis Wen." When I came here, Xun Yu reminded Lu Su not to say the purpose directly, but Lu Su ignored it at all, and said directly: "Marquis Wen won Huainan for Duke Cao. In Lujiang and other places, I would like to ask Duke Cao to report to His Majesty on his behalf and make him a Marquis of Chu."

"Feng Xian wants the Marquis of Chu, so does he want me to admit that Chu land belongs to him?" Cao Cao still had a smile on his face, and asked indifferently.

Although he asked plainly, Lu Su knew very well that if one fails to answer a question like this, it may bring disaster to Lu Bu.

"Marquis Wen didn't have such a plan." Lu Su replied, "It's just a Marquis of Chu, so Duke Cao probably wouldn't worry too much about it."

Lu Su said that he had some concerns, and Cao Cao laughed: "Feng Xian has made great contributions, so I have no worries."

He then said to Lu Su: "Since Fengxian wants it, I will go and talk to His Majesty for him."

"I don't know when the imperial seal will arrive?" Lu Su asked.

"Does Zijing want me to send someone to Pengcheng to proclaim the edict, or do you wait to go back with His Majesty's edict?" Cao Cao asked him instead, without answering.

"It would be great if I could bring back the imperial edict myself." Lu Su replied.

"I will go to see His Majesty early tomorrow morning." Cao Cao said, "Zi Jing will definitely bring the edict back."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao!" Lu Su immediately thanked Cao Cao after completing the mission of coming to Xudu.

"Zijing brought back the edict, please tell Fengxian a word." Cao Cao smiled slightly and said to Lu Su: "Pengcheng is the old capital of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. It is inevitable that I will not be dissatisfied with him. Chuhou, I can ask His Majesty to canonize him, but it is up to him to keep Pengcheng."

Lu Su heard something from Cao Cao's words, but he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, so he agreed: "I have written down what Cao Cao said."

"I heard from Wen Ruo that Zijing came to Xudu and still wants to see His Majesty?" Cao Cao then changed the topic again.

"Exactly." Lu Su replied: "As a Han minister, now that I am in Xudu, I certainly hope to have an audience with Your Majesty."

"Zhongkang!" Cao Cao greeted outside the door.

Xu Chu then walked in.

Cao Cao ordered: "You take the lead to see Your Majesty, I have something to talk to Wen Ruo."

Xu Chu agreed, and then said to Lu Su: "Mr. Lu, please!"

Lu Su resigned to Cao Cao and left with Xu Chu.

When he went out, Xun Yu asked Cao Cao: "My lord just asked Lu Zijing to remind Lu Fengxian, are you implying that he has already made plans to attack Xuzhou?"

"Lu Fengxian is getting stronger and stronger, how can I tolerate him?" Cao Cao smiled coldly, and said to Xun Yu, "When Lu Su leaves, you have to see him off."
