"Stonewood?"

"Who?" The horse-faced man looked back and said with a smile, "It turned out to be the commander, what's the matter, is there any new order?" ”

"Haha!"

Cheng Pu smiled heartily and asked rhetorically, "Can I come and see you if it's okay?" ”

"Besides, it looks like it's about to be winter, what can you do?"

Shi Mu's eyes rolled, revealing the whites of his eyes, and he said angrily: "Commander's kindness, thank you!" ”

Bang Bang~

Cheng Pu unceremoniously patted Shi Mu on the shoulder twice, and Shi Mu seemed to have expected it, and rolled his eyelids again.

"Okay, no kidding, I came to you today for something important."

Shi Mu didn't speak, and looked at Cheng Pu with an expression of "I've seen through you".

"This time we went overseas and found the seeds that the lord needed, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and you have a huge role in it, so the lord wants to meet you." Cheng Pu's face was upright and he said seriously.

Shi Mu also had a straight face and said, "Yes!" ”

Then he said in confusion: "Commander, you can't be mistaken, there is no such huge effect as you said!" ”

"Haha! Make no mistake, it's you! Cheng Pu said with a smile, "Do you know that during the time when the commander was injured, if it weren't for your encouragement, he would never have come out so quickly, and he wouldn't have known when he would have returned, so it would have been more delayed." ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Shi Mu was still puzzled.

"Pack up, and I'll go to see the lord with this commander later."

After Cheng Pu finished speaking, he walked away, and when he walked out of more than ten steps, he paused and let out a long whistle-

"Iron Blood Without Regrets!"

Shi Mu suddenly realized, and couldn't help but scratch his head, looking like a girl who had not left the cabinet, very shy.

"Yes, Commander."

……

However, when Shi Mu and Cheng Pu came to Xiangping together and met Gongsun Du, they found that it was not what Cheng Pu said before, and he was the only one at all.

How did Shi Mu know that this was specially prepared for him alone, as for the rewards of Cheng Pu and others, most of them were some material rewards, which had already been arranged. In particular, Cheng Pu has now commanded all the water armies, and he has reached the top, and he can't be promoted again, so he can only increase his monthly salary.

However, Shi Mu didn't have time to think about it, and when he saw Gongsun Du, he respectfully worshipped: "Subordinates see the lord!" ”

"Haha!" Gongsun Du smiled, personally helped up Shi Mu, and then pointed to a chair and said, "Sit." ”

"Thank you, lord!"

Shi Mu took his seat.

Gongsun Du nodded and said, "You have made great contributions to this expedition, I don't know what you want?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Mu suddenly got up, fell to his knees with a pop, and said quickly: "It is the honor of his subordinates to serve the lord, how dare you ......"

"Stop!"

Gongsun Du smiled helplessly and stopped: "Don't think that you are exaggerating, during the time when Cheng Pu was injured, it was precisely because of your words and stable military spirit that there was no such thing as bombing the camp, and you were able to get enough seeds in the shortest time to return to Liaodong." ”

"Maybe you think it's okay a year earlier or a year later, but it actually has a big impact. In the years since you left, the population of Liaodong has grown rapidly, and there is not enough food, which will inevitably cause famine. And the seeds you are going to meet are species that are so productive that one acre of land is enough to feed a human being. ”

An acre of land to feed a mouthful?

If it's true, it's definitely a great thing.

Shi Mu didn't believe it when he heard this, you must know that in the past few years, they have planted sweet potatoes and so on every year, and the yield per mu is high, but to feed a person on an acre, it is enough for children, and it is definitely not possible for adults, unless it is accompanied by other things.

It's just that Shi Mu didn't dare to say that Gongsun Du was wrong, so he could only say euphemistically: "Lord, it's not that his subordinates don't believe it, but ...... This ......"

"You mean to say that when you planted before, the yield per mu was only three or four stones, right?" Gongsun Du asked with a smile.

Then, without waiting for Shi Mu to reply, he continued: "It's just that you don't have the right tools and don't plant according to the correct method, otherwise, it will definitely be enough for one person to eat for a year. ”

"Lord ......"

Gongsun Du stopped Shi Mu from wanting to speak, and said, "Don't talk about it, you'll know next year." ”

"Now, I want to ask you what you want? Because according to your merits, if you are rewarded like others, I am afraid that you will not be able to get so many rewards, and the most important thing is that as far as you know, you are alone in your family now, and it is estimated that you will not be able to use it. ”

Hearing this, Shi Mu looked at Gongsun Du's face again, and saw that his face was firm, and he looked like he must reward him, hesitated, and said tentatively: "Why don't you divide these rewards among everyone, after all, if there are no other brothers, one of them can't do it, right?" ”

"None of their rewards will be less." Gongsun Du waved his hand.

Shi Mu was silent, he was the same as Cheng Pu, he was a fleeing Liaodong, and everyone else in the family died in the hands of Xianbei, and he seemed to have no need for him alone.

Seeing that he was silent, Gongsun Du smiled faintly and said, "Nothing you want?" ”

"Yes, my lord." Shi Mu said calmly.

Gongsun Du nodded and said, "Really?" ”

"Not really. There is a lonely family under him, and he doesn't need anything. Shi Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you reward a woman?" ”

Gongsun Du was frightened by his "reward", waved his hand and said: "This thing is not a reward, there is a way to be unfilial piety and three no queens!" Since you want to marry, find someone to match. As for the needs of marriage, the credit made this time is more than enough. ”

"Yes, thank you!" Ishiki said with great joy.

Gongsun Du waved his hand again, stopped the overjoyed Shi Mu, and said softly: "I don't know Chenglin, it's okay to call you like this, right?" ”

"The lord is serious, and it is an honor for the lord to be able to call his subordinates." Shi Mu said busily.

"Cheng Lin, I don't know if you would like to lead a naval army?"

Gongsun Du's words frightened Shi Mu, and said with a bitter face: "Lord, how can my subordinates have the ability to lead an army alone, and please take back your life!" ”

Gongsun Du frowned, and he also knew that this decision was a bit ...... Hasty. It's just that Cheng Pu dominates the water army, which is not conducive to future development, so ......

After thinking about it, Gongsun Du frowned and said: "A manly man can be can, if he can't, if he can't, how can you be like this." I heard that many soldiers in the navy obey you, and even Cheng Pu praises you, why, it's not like serving someone? ”

"Subordinates swear allegiance to the lord!" Shi Mu fell to his knees with a pop again, showing his loyalty.

"Isn't that the end of it?" Gongsun Du couldn't help but wonder.

Shi Mu smiled bitterly: "But my subordinates can't even swim, how can they lead an army alone, or a water army?" ”

Gongsun Du thought about it, it was true, if Shi Mu really had this ability, it would not be so many years, and it was just a small Qu Chang.

"It seems that I think too much, and there are indeed a lot of talents buried in history, but how can I be so easy to run into them."

Although Gongsun Du thought so, he still didn't give up, and asked: "Since you don't know the tactics of the navy, why can you manage hundreds of people?" ”

Shi Mu smiled and said: "Although my subordinates don't know the tactics of the naval army, but they know a little bit about infantry combat, and this person thinks that it should be the same whether it is a naval army or an infantry army." ”

Gongsun Du's eyes lit up and said, "You mean you have learned to lead troops in battle?" ”

Shi Mu nodded embarrassedly.

Gongsun Du thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't know how your martial arts are?" ”

Shi Mu shook his head when he heard this, and said: "The martial arts of his subordinates can only be regarded as average, if the three or five ordinary soldiers are fine, they can't cope with it if they have more." ”

"Martial arts are a little poor!" Gongsun nodded knowingly, but he didn't know that Shi Mu was talking about water warfare, not foot warfare, in other words, Shi Mu was based on his own shortcomings compared to others' strengths, if he was changed to land, how could he have a few more people!

Subsequently, Gongsun Du asked some questions about Shi Mu's march and battle, and Shi Mu answered them one by one, although some places still seem a little immature, but some places also have their own opinions, and the most important thing is that Gongsun Du thinks it is very good.

At the end, Gongsun Du also asked about the origin of Shi Mu Zu, and learned that he was actually the deputy general of the hussar general who attacked the Huns in the north, and he could be regarded as the queen of the general.

In the end, Gongsun Du asked Shi Mu if he was willing to return to the infantry army, so he appointed him as the county lieutenant, responsible for guarding Xi'an Ping.
