With the concerted efforts of everyone, it took only three days to advance the city wall from the south, east, west, and northwest directions to the original foundation.

The moat was also re-cleared, and a living stream of water was drawn from outside the city as a source of the moat.

Standing on top of the new city, Qin Fang's heroic feelings in his heart could no longer be concealed, and he laughed loudly: "Xiri City is finally the territory of the imperial court from today onwards. The area has also expanded by one-fifth compared to the previous one, and it can be considered a medium-sized city in terms of the size of the city. ”

"Yes, General. It was a great victory. With the city of West Ri, we can advance the border one hundred and fifty miles. In this way, our territory is nearly 200 miles deep into the Shura country on the original basis. ”

"In normal times, a 200-mile area is nothing. But the two hundred miles in front of us are not easy to come by! ”

"Report, the Military Aircraft Pavilion is in a hurry." The herald hurriedly ran up to the city and handed an urgent letter to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang took the urgent mail, and he naturally knew the content of this urgent mail. He had been looking forward to this urgent item for a long time, and today he finally looked forward to it.

Remove the fire paint and remove the letter from the trait envelope. After a while, the smile on his face slowly froze, and what he feared still happened.

"General, what's wrong? Is there a new military situation? ”

"Strategist, see for yourself!" Qin Fang handed the letter to the military advisor.

After reading the letter, the military advisor's face also showed an anxious look. He was puzzled by the way the elders did it, such a reward was too unfair to Feng Ming.

"What do you think?"

"If it were me, I would be very disappointed and completely lose my trust in the military department and the imperial court. Next time, even if the God Emperor gives an edict, I will not answer the edict. ”

"You and I think the same. As the saying goes, one can be two, but not three. In the first battle to defend Jinling City, he did not receive any praise, which has caused some people to discuss. In the second great victory of Xiri City, he was once again ignored or even transferred, which made people of insight in the army and even the government and the opposition feel indignant.

This great victory was achieved under his efforts to turn the tide. How he came here, we all know. It's just that the imperial court doesn't issue an edict and reward, but how can the elders of the cabinet be confused? ”

"General, we still have to do what needs to be done. Paper can't hold fire. I think we should talk to him before the reward envoy sent by the imperial court and the military department comes! ”

"Okay, let's go."

Qin Fang and the military advisor did not delay, they went directly down from the city and rushed to an inn where Feng Ming was staying.

Originally, Feng Ming was going to be arranged in the barracks, but Feng Ming didn't have any position now, so he could only be regarded as an ordinary person. Therefore, in order not to violate military regulations, at his repeated requests, he stayed in an inn closest to the barracks.

In the room, three cups of steaming hot tea are brewed. Three people sat down in a zigzag shape around a round table.

"General Fengming, in my heart, I have long wanted to sit down with you to have tea and discuss. Do you know that after the first battle of Jinling City, you became a hotly discussed person in our military division alliance.

After fighting alongside you, I don't think the rumors are necessarily exaggerated. Among them, there is still a lot to be desired. ”

"Master Zheng has won the award, I don't dare to hold it up in front of you. I have only been through three wars, and you have followed the great general in the north and south for decades. In front of you, I'm just a student who has just come out of college. ”

"Hahaha..., General Fengming humbled himself. If you say so, then you still don't let those military advisors who have been famous for a long time but have not made great feats live! ”

"It's me who is abrupt, I can't talk about you. Let's talk about your and the general's intentions! Feng Ming was very knowledgeable, and did not bend around again, but took the initiative to introduce the topic to their intentions.

"Brother Fengming, I won't say anything about perfunctory prevarication. I have come to you with the military advisor today, and I do have something to discuss with you, but after listening to what we have to say, please stay calm. ”

"General, please have tea.

If what I expected is correct, you and Zheng Junshi should be here for military merit! Feng Ming picked up the teacup and said with a sip.

"You're like a god! That's right, that's what we're here for.

To tell you the truth, this general did ask for the first credit for you on the merit form, but there was no name on the list of rewards you just received. It's just that at the end, I brought a little sentence that when the reward comes, I will talk to you alone. ”

"Talking alone, is it possible that my reward is too generous, and I want to teach it alone?"

"It would be nice if that was the case, but I and the military advisor agreed that it shouldn't be. What exactly it is will only be known when the reward comes. ”

"Thank you, General, thank you, Junshi Zheng. I have felt your heart. I have a very light view of military exploits, otherwise I would not have resigned from all military exploits at the first time. ”

"What? You resigned from your first military exploit on your own initiative? ”

"Yes, it was the same then. It's just that everyone was already on the surface at that time, unlike now, when they were still hidden. ”

Being a little brighter, an embarrassed look appeared on Qin Fang's face. He didn't expect Feng Ming to know about it a long time ago.

"The general doesn't have to be like this, I have a good mentality, and I won't stand on the opposite side of the imperial court or the military department because of this. But one can be two, not three, but no more than three.

This was the case three times, and by the fourth time, I would never be as good at talking as I am today. I will take back what I lost, and I will get back what I owe. ”

Qin Fang's face changed again, and this was what he was worried about. The current Feng Ming can still control himself, if he waits for his cultivation to grow again, it will not only be himself, I am afraid that even the elders will be restless!

"Fengming Military Division, please rest assured. The general and I will make a final effort. We can't chill the soldiers, let alone a general who has made such a huge contribution.

We don't say anything about it, so please don't mention it to the fourth person. People's hearts are difficult to prevent, but there are many villains in this world who rely on this to climb up. ”

"Thank you Junshi Zheng for the reminder. I'll stay here until the reward comes. I hope the reward will bring me good news. ”

Qin Fang and Zheng Junshi didn't understand the meaning of Feng Ming's words, and could only think that he still had the last trace of expectation for the imperial court and the military department.

"Brother Fengming, since this is the case, the military advisor and I won't bother, you have a good rest. Let's wait patiently for the Rewarder to arrive! ”

Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

In everyone's anticipation, the reward envoy finally appeared at the gate of Xiri City.

There was no cumbersome convoy, no decent retinue, just a handsome young man, dressed in a yellow python robe, with a purple and gold bow on his back, leading a horse, standing alone at the gate of the city.
