Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

The court envoy was brought before Cao Cao with neither humble nor overbearing expression, and had no intention of saluting.

Seeing this, Cao Cao showed sullen expression, and all the generals beside him put their hands on the hilt of their swords when they saw that the envoy was so rude.

The envoy was unhurried, reaching into his bosom and taking out an imperial decree.

"Your Majesty has a purpose."

As soon as this posture came out, Cao Cao reluctantly stood up, stood with his hands tied, and did not intend to kneel down.

The generals on the side also followed suit and took their hands away from the hilt.

The envoy didn't care when he saw that these people didn't kneel, anyway, he would kneel down honestly to receive the order later.

"The late Cao Song was once a captain of the imperial court. During his tenure, he was conscientious and hardworking, and he had quite a lot of political achievements."

"Now that I heard the bad news, I was so heartbroken that I made him a Taiwei, added Qiao Hou, and gave him the posthumous title of 'Su'.

"This is it!"

Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, used to be the Taiwei of the imperial court, but he was dismissed during his tenure, and he died as a civilian without any official position.

Now the imperial court has granted 04 new official positions and titles, and has given them a good posthumous title. The emperor gave a posthumous title, which is definitely a symbol of glory.

"thump."

Cao Cao knelt down without saying a word. This was the imperial decree to seal Cao Song. Even if Cao Cao was not happy in his heart, Cao Cao had to kneel obediently to receive the decree, or he would be unfilial.

"My minister Cao Cao took the decree and thanked my emperor for his kindness."

"Hula la."

Cao Cao knelt down, and the civil and military officers on both sides could only kneel together.

There was a smile on the corner of the messenger's mouth, and he continued to read with the imperial decree in his hand: "Cao Cao first advocated Dong Yougong, and he is now named Yanzhou Shepherd."

Just now it was Cao Song's Ai Rong, but now it is Cao Cao's benefit.

At present, Cao Cao does not have an official position. His post of Yanzhou Mu was not conferred by the imperial court, but was recommended by other officials.

If the name is not correct, the words will not go well, which is why Zhang Miao rebelled and rebelled. You Cao Cao is not an official of the court, so why should you rule Yanzhou?

Now that the imperial court's appointment is sent, it is definitely a good thing for Cao Cao.

"Thank you for the decree." Cao Cao knelt on the ground and raised his hands above his head to accept the decree.

After Cao Cao got up from the ground, the envoy continued to speak, "Cao Yanzhou, the imperial court is waiting to be revived. The general intends to open up trade between the Central Plains and Guanzhong, so as to make the country prosperous. What do you think?"

"That's great." Cao Cao said without thinking.

Give Cao Cao the benefits first, stop Cao Cao's mouth, and Cao Cao, the trade group, will naturally agree.

Cao Cao knew in his heart that this imperial edict was definitely not written by the emperor, but must have been written by Lu Bu.

If he doesn't agree with the trade, then Cao Cao's mourning will not be obtained, and his Yanzhou pastor will also say goodbye.

Therefore, although Cao Cao and Lu Bu had a relationship, they still had to agree to trade.

"Cao Yanzhou, Your Majesty has something else to entrust to you."

"The envoy please speak."

"Someone who secretly confers an official position in the imperial court, without the appointment of the imperial court, dares to serve as a local high-ranking official, and even dares to pretend to be a Han family member, deserves death.

"Your Majesty Longyan is furious. The imperial court has decreed that Yanzhou and Xuzhou are close to each other. Duke Cao should share the worries of the emperor."

Cao Cao moved, isn't this giving pillows when you are dozing off?

Zhengchou didn't have a suitable reason to launch an attack. Now that he had a reason to send troops, Cao Cao could attack Xuzhou openly.

"I also ask the envoy to tell the emperor that my minister Cao Cao will surely share the worries for His Majesty!"

"That's very good. Goodbye."

The envoy's mission was completed, and he set off immediately to return to Guanzhong.

"My lord, now we can attack Xuzhou openly and aboveboard!" Cao Ren said happily, "Personating yourself as a local official and pretending to be a member of the Han family is not Liu Bei.

After the envoy left, Cao Cao didn't get too excited on his face, but waved his hand and said, "You all step back, Wen Ruo stays."

"promise."

After the crowd left, Cao Cao said slowly, "This Lu is not using us as a weapon! This man actually knows how to use the emperor to order us."

"My lord, Lu should not be underestimated, especially if he is no longer regarded as a common man." Xun Yu solemnly said: "Then Lu Bu's bravery is invincible in the world, and in addition, he has the emperor in his hand, and he is using the emperor to command the princes. We underestimated Lu Bu."

"Alas~" Cao Cao sighed, "I'm afraid I will be used by Lu Bu this time. I know that Lu Bu is uneasy and kind, but I still have to act according to Lu Bu's mind."

It is the most unsolvable conspiracy to coerce the emperor to command the princes.

Do you want the State Shepherd? Do you want Cao Song's glory? If you want it, you have to agree to trade.

In the same way, Cao Cao originally coveted Xuzhou, but now the court gave Cao Cao a reason to send troops, and Cao Cao had no reason to refuse.

"Wen Ruo, why do you think Lu Bu gave us a reason to send troops?" Cao Cao couldn't figure it out, "Is there any scheme?"

Xun Yu thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head, wondering if Lu Bu had any deep plans.

In fact, both Cao Cao and Xun Yu thought too much, and Lu Bu simply wanted to disgust Liu Bei.

Anyway, regardless of whether there is such an edict, Cao Cao will definitely attack Xuzhou for the second time, and Liu Bei cannot be Cao Cao's opponent, and he will be beaten to death by Cao Cao.

That being the case, whether there is this imperial decree will not change the outcome of the matter.

The purpose of Lu Bu's imperial decree is actually to deny Liu Bei's identity as a clan member of the Han family.

Liu Bei was originally a mat weaver and seller of shoes, and the place where he can get 370 the most is the name of his Han family clan.

No matter where he went, he called himself the Empress of King Jing of Zhongshan.

Don't underestimate this name, it is still very useful at the moment.

Now Lu Bu, in the name of Liu Xie, has issued an imperial decree to deny Liu Bei's identity as a Han family clan, and Liu Bei will not be able to use this name in the future. This is undoubtedly a very big blow to Liu Bei

"It doesn't matter." Cao Cao shook his head and said, "No matter what Lu Bu plans, we must fight in Xuzhou.

"Besides, Lu Bu is in Guanzhong, so he can't reach the Central Plains. Let's get Xuzhou into our hands first."

"Order to go down, rectify the soldiers and horses, and we will send troops after the spring plowing is over." Cao Cao ordered.

"My lord, we don't have enough food and grass!" Xun Yu reminded, "Should we still use the method from last time?"

"That's right." Cao Cao nodded and said, "If you continue to plunder Xuzhou, you will be eaten by the enemy."

"Master, if you act like this, you may hurt the hearts of Xuzhou people." Xun Yu said worriedly.

"I've already been injured last time, so let's just let it go directly. Keeping Xuzhou in my hands is the top priority." Cao Cao said harshly.

"Besides, with the emperor's decree this time, we also have the righteousness, and we must be able to win Xuzhou quickly, and we can't miss this opportunity.

"Oh." Xun Yu sighed in his heart, bowed and said, "No."
