Chapter 167
Lu Mou had no intention of accepting the title Cao Cao gave him.

He knew in his heart that now that Cao Cao had an overview of the government, he needed to stabilize the morale of the army, so he naturally needed to confer the title of Marquis on someone like Lu Mou.

But at the same time, Lu Mou also understands that once he is named Marquis by Cao Cao, he needs to be cautious no matter what he does in the future.

A few days later, after returning to Xuchang.

At this time, Lu Mou was wearing court clothes, somewhat uncomfortable, and he couldn't help thinking to himself: "The ancients are really troublesome!"

Afterwards, Lu Mou came to the main hall. At this time, Liu Xie had changed his face, more or less like an emperor.

"Long live, long live, my king!"

All bow down together.

Liu Xie said nervously: "Pingshen!"

At this time, Cao Cao stood up and said: "Since Your Majesty moved the capital to Xudu, the people are all happy, and the weather in Kyushu is also good."

Liu Xie said tremblingly on the top: "This is all thanks to Aiqing!"

Cao Cao smiled knowingly, and then said: "Your Majesty, please give Yuan Shao the title of General in Jizhou, and Yuan Shu in Nanyang as General of Hussars..."

Liu Xie listened a lot, and then said to Cao Cao: "In the future, all matters of loving you will be played!"

Lu Mou also had a headache when he heard it from behind, because he heard himself inside, which made him very angry.

After the morning court was over, Lu Mou left immediately. At this time, Xun Yu called Lu Mou and said, "Waiting for Xiaoyi, at such an age, he has already been defeated as a marquis."

"Sir, it's a false compliment. It's just the lord's love. I, Lu Mou, deserve it!" Lu Mou said modestly.

"Xiaoyi is too modest. Among the generals, the lord loves you the most. It will be a matter of time before you lose the title. You deserve it!" Xun Yu said.

"Sir, I still have something to do at home, so I won't be with you anymore!" Lu Mou said hastily.

Xun Yu looked at Lu Mou's expression strangely, and he didn't know what happened to Lu Mou?
"Why did Xiaoyi leave in such a hurry?" Guo Jia said from the side.

"I don't know, he seems to be very dissatisfied with this Marquis!" Xun Yu said looking at Lu Mou's back.

"The lord told Xiaoyi about this when he came back. At that time, you and I were by the side. Xiaoyi was obviously very resistant, but the lord still gave Xiaoyi the title of Marquis when he came back. Maybe it's because of too much pressure!" Guo Jia said.

"I don't know what my lord means!" Xun Yu sighed.

Lu Mou returned home and closed the door tightly. Seeing Lu Mou's appearance, Huang Yueying hurriedly asked, "What happened, my husband?"

"Cao Cao made me a Marquis!" Lu Mou said with some distress.

"Shouldn't this be a good thing? Why is your husband so distressed?" Huang Yueying looked at Lu Mou with some puzzlement. If an outsider was named a Marquis, he would be very happy.

"It's just a false name. Cao Cao's purpose is to be tightly tied to his chariot. At the same time, after you become a marquis, you need to be careful in any action, because Cao Cao will always stare at you. Once you happen to Once it changes, he will know!" Lu Mou sighed.

Huang Yueying naturally knew Lu Mou's distress. After all, he still had Yuzhou in his hands, and Cao Cao must not let this matter know.

"Let's not talk about that, what happened to Zhuge Liang? Did Jiang Xia take it down?" Lu Mou asked.

"Yesterday, Zhuge Liang sent a letter saying that he has captured Jiang Xia, please don't worry!" Huang Yueying said.

"Then go to Jiangxia. Jiangxia is an important place in Jingzhou. Most of Jingzhou's money is in Jiangxia. Taking Jiangxia is equivalent to taking half of Jingzhou. At the same time, send Zhuge Liang a letter and tell him that if there is no special Don't report to yourself about important matters!" Lu Mou said.

Huang Yueying nodded.

In the next few days, Lu Mou closed the door tightly and did not go out at all, and the outside world did not know about Lu Mou's news.

"Why hasn't Xiaoyi been in court these few days?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yesterday I went to see Xiaoyi, he caught a cold and couldn't move at home!" Xun Yu said.

"Really?" Cao Cao said in disbelief.

Lu Mou's physical fitness is like a cow, how could he catch the cold.

"I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw Xiaoyi himself, I had to believe it, and the doctor was also treating Xiaoyi at that time!" Xun Yu said.

"I always feel something is wrong. Xiaoyi seems to be avoiding me since he became a Marquis!" Cao Cao said in distress.

"My lord, is it too much pressure on Xiaoyi!" Xun Yu said from the side.

"Maybe!" Cao Cao sighed.

Let him understand in his heart that Lu Mou is a free-spirited person. He wanted to use this method to trap Lu Mou, but he didn't expect it to be counterproductive.

"My lord, why not cut off Xiaoyi's position?" Xun Yu whispered.

"No, it's impossible to cut the position. You go and tell Lu Mou that since he doesn't want to go to the morning court, he won't come, but when I have something important, he will still come, and tell him at the same time, so that he can recuperate!" Cao Cao said.

"Understood, I'll go later!" Xun Yu said.

"At the same time, we must pay close attention to Zhuge Liang. Not long ago, Zhuge Liang took Jiang Xia from Jingzhou. It seems that Zhuge Liang is going to take Jingzhou!" Cao Cao said with a gloomy face.

Zhuge Liang Cao Cao is still a little jealous, now Zhuge Liang's strength is not weaker than his own, and he even feels that Zhuge Liang's strength is stronger than his own, so he hasn't done anything about the land of Yuzhou for a long time.

"Zhuge Liang's intentions are obvious, my lord, don't worry!" Xun Yu said.

"I've been worrying about the Xuzhou matter. Now that the princes from all over the country have gained something, it's time for us to act!" Cao Cao sighed.

"Before you said that if you want to attack Xuzhou, you need to wait. Now that I have waited for so long, I still haven't waited. What do you think I should do?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, I have a note." Xun Yu said.

"I'm all ears!"

"We can use the name of the Son of Heaven to give Liu Bei an edict to be the governor of Xuzhou, and at the same time give him a secret edict, saying that Yuan Shu of Nanyang secretly has the heart of proclaiming himself emperor, and let him crusade!

At the same time, we are giving Yuan Shu a secret edict, saying that Liu Bei is going to the court to attack you!We can borrow the hands of two people. If Yuan Shu loses to Liu Bei, we will take advantage of the situation to take Nanyang. If Liu Bei loses to Yuan Shu, we will take advantage of the situation and take Xuzhou.

In this way, no matter which chassis we win, we will not lose money! " Xun Yu said.

Cao Cao listened with relish, and then said: "Listening to you is like drinking fine wine."

"The lord has already thought about it, the minister just said it!"

"At this time, you can do it, and I will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watching the two fight like this!"
