Chapter 41: Offering the Jade Seal of the Country

Lu Bu only brought more than a dozen followers.

Leaving Xiapi, they rushed all the way to Xudu.

Xu Du was not very far from Xiapi, and in order not to provoke right and wrong, Lu Bu did not ride the red rabbit.

He was riding just an ordinary warhorse.

Starry night, but within a few days, they came to the outside of Xudu City.

Xuzhou has gone through several wars and is already in a state of decay, while Xudu is far away from the war, the people live a stable and prosperous life, and the street market is noisy and prosperous.

According to Yan Xiang's suggestion, LΓΌ Bu did not enter the city under his own identity, but pretended to be a relative of the LΓΌ family.

Last time, due to the burning of grain and grass, Cao Cao had to order the retreat.

He was always haunted by that incident.

did not break through Xuzhou, Cao Cao always felt unstable in his back.

Recently, he is still raising grain and grass, and plans to take it together with Huainan, Xuzhou and other places in a few days.

Hearing that Lu Bu sent someone to Xudu, Cao Cao was puzzled and asked the staff present: "Lu Fengxian sent someone to Xudu, what do you think he wants to do?" ”

"Xuzhou has experienced several wars, and now it is full of devastation and people's livelihood is withering, even if Lu Bu works hard, he will not be able to recover his vitality in three or five years." Guo Jia said: "I think he sent someone to Xu Du, it should be announced to the Lord." ”

"I was planning to crusade again in a few days, and he actually sent someone to show goodwill." Cao Cao smiled coldly: "Lu Bu is becoming more and more naΓ―ve, won't I beat him if I show favor?" ”

"Whether to fight or not to fight is all up to the lord, and you still have to see it." Guo Jia said: "Let's see what sincerity Lu Bu sent first." ”

"It's fine." Cao Cao instructed the guards: "Bring LΓΌ Bu's messenger up." ”

Lu Bu had been waiting outside, and the news of Cao Cao's reception came from inside, and he ordered the guards to stay where they were, and followed the Cao family guards who came out to greet him into the front hall.

Seeing Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Xun You, Xun Yu and others couldn't help but sit up straight, and their eyes showed surprise and incredulity.

When Lu Bu followed Ding Yuan into Luoyang, he was twenty-eight or nineteen years old.

At that time, he was extraordinarily heroic, and after Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo turned against each other, his reputation after several battles had spread all over the government and the opposition.

The young man who came to Cao Cao and the others looked very much like Lu Bu back then, but he was even younger, and there was even a hint of the young man's deliberate frivolity between his eyebrows.

"I've seen Cao Gong!" Lu Bu stood still and bowed.

"Who is the little general?" Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu suspiciously.

"I'm General Lu's son, Lu Nan." Lu Bu casually rammed a name: "I came to see Cao Gong on the order of my uncle." ”

"Fengxian's son is named Lu Hou, and he looks weird, but he is very brave, I have seen it." Cao Cao said: "I didn't expect his slave to be the same person as him." ”

Laughing, Cao Cao looked at his staff and generals: "Who do you think is more like Fengxian's son or Lu Hou?" ”

Cao Cao had the intention to ridicule Lu Bu, and everyone present laughed.

One of them asked Lu Bu, "Little General, have you ever asked your parents at home whether your father lived at home or Lu Fengxian took care of you at home when you were there. ”

It was a short Cao family general who spoke.

Lu Bu knew him.

This person's surname is Le Mingjin, and although he is short in physique, he is extremely brave on the battlefield.

Cao's army fought repeatedly, and Lejin charged ahead, making countless contributions to Cao Cao.

"Because I was born like this, I think I'm my uncle's son?" Lu Bu smiled indifferently: "The general is short, and I see that his hair is also luxuriant. If you want to say that the general's appearance is more similar to a monkey, I don't know if the general's family was taken care of by his father or by the monkey? ”

Le Jin, who was laughing wildly, was stuffed by him, and his face suddenly became ugly.

The staff and generals present also stopped laughing and glared at Lu Bu angrily.

"What do you mean?" Le Jin knelt down with his sword.

"It's not interesting." Lu Bu still looked indifferent: "The general reasoned like this, I just asked rhetorically according to the general's words, why are you still annoyed?" ”

"Alright, alright!" Le Jin was about to get angry, Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "This son has sharp teeth, although he looks like Lu Fengxian, his temperament is not the same. ”

Cao Cao spoke, and Le Jin didn't dare to speak out even though he was full of anger, so it was worth sitting down.

"Why did Feng Xian let the little general come to Xudu?" Cao Cao asked, "Don't he know that the two families are at war?" ”

"Cao Gongwen Chengwude has the prestige of dominating the world, and my uncle has long admired it." Lu Bu replied: "He had the intention to serve before, but Cao Gong listened to the slanderous rumors of the villains and refused to give him a chance, so he would be out of control." A few days ago, my uncle ordered me to go to Shouchun and got a treasure by chance. After reading it, he said that only Cao Gong deserved to have it, so he asked me to send it in order to reconcile with the Cao family! ”

"The little general went to Shouchun?" Cao Cao asked, "Could it be that Feng first wants to contact Yuan Shu to fight against me?" ”

"It's not." Lu Bu smiled calmly: "I'm going to kill Yuan Shu." ”

"Did you succeed?" Cao Cao asked.

"It's done." Lu Bu replied: "Now that Huainan has become a borderless land, my uncle also plans to ask Cao Gong to take Huainan by offering treasures, and he is willing to send troops from Xuzhou to help Cao Gong achieve great things." ”

"Feng Xian has always been inconsistent, why should I believe him?"

"Not by anything, just by the treasure I brought." Lu Bu reached into his arms and took out a small baggage, held it in both hands and handed it to Cao Cao.

The guard stepped forward to take the burden and present it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao opened the baggage, and what appeared in front of him was a jade seal.

The texture of the jade seal is smooth, and it is engraved with the pattern of double dragons playing with pearls around it.

In particular, the eight small seal characters on the front show its supreme status.

"Heirloom Jade Seal!" As soon as Cao Cao spoke, everyone present was stunned.

"It's the jade seal of the country." Lu Bu said: "Uncle is willing to dedicate this thing to Cao Gong to clarify his intentions!" ”

Playing with the jade seal of the country, Cao Cao asked everyone present, "What do you think?" ”

"Cao Gong!" Someone stood up: "Lu Bu sent this treasure just to delay time, with the nature of his three family slaves, sooner or later he will rebel......

The person who stood up was white-skinned, and his two ears were different from ordinary people, it was Liu Bei who had fallen under Cao Cao's tent.

Cao Cao was still frowning and didn't know whether to accept Lu Bu's surrender, Lu Bu looked at Liu Bei and sneered: "This should be Liu Xuande." ”

"Does the little general recognize me?" Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu in astonishment.

"Xuande Gong can even ignore his family in order to survive, how many people in the world don't know?" Lu Bu said: "The so-called family and country are all over the world, and only with a family can there be a country and a great cause in the world." I admire heroes like Xuande Gong who can ignore the life and death of their families in order to survive. If my uncle can be as unkind as Xuande Gong, he will definitely be able to do a lot. ”
