Chapter 296: How Can You Tolerate Him
After sending Xun Yu away, Lu Su returned to the room.
Since he was going to see Cao Cao in the afternoon, of course he didn't touch a drop of wine at noon, just ate a little at random, and then lay down to sleep.
After sleeping for about an hour, the guard reported that Xun Yu asked to see him.
Hurriedly washed, Lu Su greeted him.
Seeing Xun Yu, Lu Su bowed and saluted: "Brother Wenruo!" ”
Xun Yu returned the salute and said to Lu Su: "It's already afternoon, I specially came to ask Zijing to go to see the lord together." ”
"Thank you, Brother Wenruo." Lu Su thanked and accompanied Xun Yu out.
Walking on the road, Xun Yu asked him: "Wenhou won Jiangdong, what are his plans in the future?" ”
"I don't know what Wen Hou has planned." Lu Su replied: "Actually, I just met him in a hurry, and then I came to Xudu." ”
"Met in a hurry?" Xun Yu asked, "You and Wen Hou are not familiar with each other?" ”
"I am an old friend of Zhou Gongjin, and I planned to go to serve Zheng Bao, but I didn't want Gongjin to look for me." Lu Su replied: "He led me to meet Wen Hou, and only then did he come to Xudu." ”
"It turns out that Zijing and Wen Hou are not familiar with each other." Xun Yu asked: "I don't know if Zi Jing is willing to stay in Xudu, with your talent, the lord will definitely reuse it." ”
"If someone had asked me to vote for Cao Gong earlier, I would have defined it." Lu Su replied: "It's a pity that now I have voted for Wenhou, and there is no reason to lose my trust to Qin Duchu." ”
"That's what Zijing said." Xun Yu nodded.
The two talked and came to Cao Cao's residence.
Outside the gate, Xun Yu said to Lu Su: "Zijing, don't come up to ask for an official position for Wen Hou when you see the lord." ”
"I'm here to ask for an official position." Lu Su asked, "Why can't you go straight in?" ”
"The lord already knows what Zijing is doing, so there is no need to point it out directly with him." Xun Yu replied: "Wait for the lord to continue the conversation with Zijing, and then mention the purpose to him." ”
"I see." Lu Su responded.
led him to Cao Cao's study, and Lu Su saw that in addition to a few guards outside the study, there was also an extremely burly general standing.
The general's shoulders are broad and round, and his eyes are staring like bull's eyes, which makes people feel a little afraid when they see it.
He had no contact with Cao Cao, and of course Lu Su didn't know that this general was Xu Chu, a fierce general under Cao Cao.
Seeing that Xun Yu was coming with Lu Su, Xu Chu stepped forward and asked, "Xun Gong, is this the messenger sent by Lu Fengxian?" ”
"Lu Zijing is a famous person in Jiangdong." Xun Yu said to Xu Chu: "Please also ask the general to report to the lord, and say that Zijing is here." ”
"Xun Gong, wait a minute." Xu Chu agreed, turned around and walked into the study.
But in an instant, he retreated again and said to Xun Yu: "The lord invites the two of you in." ”
Xun Yu then beckoned Lu Su to enter the study together.
Walking past Xu Chu, Lu Su subconsciously glanced at him more.
Lu Su had seen Lu Bu, and in terms of height, Xu Chu might be shorter than Lu Bu.
can talk about physique, Lu Bu, who wears armor, is really not as burly as Xu Chu.
Lu Bu's body lines are well-proportioned, and Xu Chu is broad-shouldered and round-waisted, making him more powerful.
Lu Su looked at Xu Chu, and Xu Chu was also looking 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 books.
The two walked in, he put the book on the table, and looked at Lu Su with a smile: "Zijing has been in Xudu for a few days, how are you doing?" ”
"I came to Xudu to tell Cao Gong about something important, but Cao Gong avoided it, where can I get better?" Lu Su said: "Cao Gong saw me today and said something, I should also return to Pengcheng." ”
"Zijing is in such a hurry to leave?" There was dissatisfaction in Lu Su's words, and Cao Cao not only did not get angry but replied with a smile: "I have too many affairs recently, and I have the heart to meet Zijing, but I really can't pull out." Please also be respectful. ”
Cao Cao, as a hero, can actually ask Lu Su not to blame, this kind of mind is not something that ordinary people can have.
Even if Lu Su has a thousand kinds of dissatisfaction, Cao Cao's words are enough.
"I'm actually here for Wenhou." When he came, Xun Yu reminded Lu Su not to say the purpose directly, but Lu Su didn't pay attention to it at all, and said directly: "Wen Hou took Huainan, Lujiang and other places for Cao Gong, and I want to ask Cao Gong to present it to His Majesty and seal it as a Marquis of Chu." ”
"Feng Xian wants the Marquis of Chu, does he want me to admit that Chu belongs to him?" Cao Cao still had a smile on his face, and asked without being salty.
Although he asked plainly, Lu Su knew very well that if he didn't answer a question like this well, he might bring disaster to Lu Bu.
"Wen Hou has no such plans." Lu Su replied: "It's just a Chu Hou, presumably Cao Gong won't worry too much about it." ”
Lu Su said that he had some concerns, and Cao Cao laughed: "Feng Xian has made great contributions, what can I worry about." ”
He then said to Lu Su: "Since Feng Xian wants it, I will go and talk to Your Majesty for him." ”
"I wonder when the seal will arrive?" Lu Su asked.
"Does Zijing want me to send someone to Pengcheng to announce the edict, or do you personally wait to go back with His Majesty's edict?" Cao Cao did not answer, but asked him rhetorically.
"It would be great if I could bring the edict back myself." Lu Su replied.
"I'll go to see Your Majesty early tomorrow morning." Cao Cao said: "I will definitely let Zijing bring the edict back." ”
"Thank you Cao Gong!" The task of coming to Xudu was completed, and Lu Su immediately thanked Cao Cao.
"Zijing brought back the edict, and please convey a word to Feng Xian." Cao Cao smiled slightly, and said to Lu Su: "Pengcheng is the old capital of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and he regards Pengcheng as a place of governance, and heroes from all walks of life who are loyal to the Han family will inevitably not be dissatisfied with him. Chu Hou 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 had to agree: "I have written down all of Cao Gong's words." ”
"I heard Wen Ruo say that Zijing came to Xudu and wanted to see His Majesty?" Cao Cao then diverted the topic again.
"Exactly." Lu Su replied: "As a Hanchen, now that I have come to Xudu, of course I hope to meet Your Majesty." ”
"Zhongkang!" Cao Cao greeted the door.
Xu Chu then walked in.
Cao Cao instructed: "You lead the way to see Your Majesty, I still have something to say with Wen Ruo." ”
Xu Chu agreed, and then said to Lu Su: "Lu Gong, please!" ”
Lu Su said goodbye to Cao Cao and left with Xu Chu.
Waiting for him to go out, Xun Yu asked Cao Cao: "The lord just asked Lu Zijing to remind Lu Fengxian, is he also hinting to him that he is ready to attack Xuzhou?" ”
"Lu Fengxian is already getting stronger and stronger, how can I tolerate him?" Cao Cao smiled coldly and said to Xun Yu: "When Lu Su leaves, I have to see you off." ”
