Juancheng.

Dian Wei was the first to come back non-stop.

As soon as he entered the camp, he saw Xu Zhen squatting behind the case in the room, crouching on the futon.

He glanced at it angrily a few times, and found that Xu Zhen ignored him, and said suddenly: "My lord, what posture are you?" ”

"It's numb to sit, squat and watch, you're numb when you sit."

Xu Zhen said angrily.

"Meritorious service?"

Putting down the book, Xu Zhen said strangely.

[You have completed an hour of reading, self-discipline +10]

Eh, it's broken.

Sure enough, the mind can't be disturbed.

Hearing the prompt sound of the system, Xu Zhen felt a little regretful.

If you insist on self-discipline, it will increase, and if you are interrupted, it will decrease.

This is a pattern that Xu Zhen discovered recently, but it doesn't matter.

Now it is clear that Dian Wei's mood is more important.

"Why!" Dian Wei shook his head and hung his head, and sighed heavily, "I was scolded!" The old lady will punish me. ”

"Fortunately, I didn't go to ......," Xu Zhen muttered suddenly.

"What did you say??" Dian Wei's eyes widened, but the muttering was so quiet that he suspected he hadn't heard clearly.

"I said it's okay, I'm dedicated to the lord, he will definitely understand our minds."

Xu Zhen stretched out his hand and patted Dian Wei's shoulder, "Although there is no credit this time, there is also hard work, Tao Qian's soldiers and horses did not come, it may be on the road, you saved the old lady to avoid this." ”

"No one knows, but I do."

Dian Wei: "......"

I thank you.

"Alas, next time I sacrifice my life to save people, I won't dare anymore, and I won't be able to say a good word."

Xu Zhen waved his hand, "Don't plant a flag." ”

"Prepare now," Xu Zhen's mood was still quite stable, he needed merit to improve his status now, but he couldn't lead troops.

Otherwise, you won't be able to sit still.

In this case, offering advice is the best way, and there is no need to accumulate too much of the achievements of internal affairs, and the county near Juancheng has the highest popularity.

If you make meritorious service again, you can be the captain of Tuntian, or the general of Tuntian Zhonglang, which is equivalent to 2,000 stone guards without military power.

"Okay, all the armaments you asked for last time are ready."

"And double stirrups and large riding guns."

"However, these things cost a lot of money to build, and the war horses are also according to your orders, let the soldiers raise their own and be responsible for the armament of the horses."

"Let's prepare these, are we going to fight Xuzhou?"

"Of course not, Xuzhou is too dangerous, let's make meritorious contributions to our family."

Xu Zhen smiled meaningfully.

"What do you mean?"

Dian Wei was at a loss, not very understanding Xu Zhen's words.

If you keep your home, it means that the soldiers and horses will not go to Xuzhou with the lord, but stay in Yanzhou.

In Yanzhou, only hard work, definitely not as good as those generals who attacked Xuzhou, if they can take Xuzhou, when the time comes to reward meritorious deeds, then these soldiers and horses defending the city can only be ranked last.

"Defend the city, we can stabilize the hearts of the people in the rear and let the lord take Xuzhou, isn't it a merit? And it doesn't take much time. ”

Xu Zhen was reluctant to march, the self-discipline value of the march was too small and unstable, which was not conducive to brushing.

His current force has just reached [77].

And [intelligence] is only 60.

It's only been a little bit of a stretch in this time.

There is still a long way to go, and if you can't bear the loneliness, you can make meritorious contributions, and finally fall into the trap of Gong Dou.

With the Shi clan, maybe it will not be so easy in the future.

……

On the second day, Cao Cao escorted Cao Song back to Juancheng, and as soon as he returned, he immediately came to the Diannong in the south of Juancheng.

In this county, the farmland is scattered, the water quality is good, and there are still many farmers turning the soil in the land.

Many soldiers burned weeds into ashes and sprinkled them into the soil to nourish the soil, while many people were further away to open up new wasteland.

Because of the local materials in the nearby mountains and forests to build houses for the people, to create a new settlement, a lot of bare land.

It takes a lot of effort to clear the wasteland.

At this moment, a figure came into view.

Cao Chun stopped to look into the distance and saw Xu Zhen pulling his pants down to his calves and digging a ditch in the dirt near the river with his soldiers.

"Eh, big brother, old lady, look, you don't need to go to the pawn farm, isn't Bowen there."

This year, the soil was not harvested much, and the canals were not dug up, so it was necessary to carry water and walk a long way to the soil slopes.

Digging a ditch to divert water is slow, but it will certainly be effective in ten days.

Even if it doesn't work, it is estimated that it will work if it takes more time to repair the ditch, drain it reasonably, and re-plan.

The main reason is that Xu Zhen is willing to do this, or take the soldiers and the people to do it together.

Under the high level of public sentiment, it will soon be effective.

"Well, it's him."

Cao Cao nodded, a smile gradually appearing on his face.

"Father," Cao Cao pointed triumphantly, "that's Xu Bowen." ”

"It can be said that it was his advice that made me go to greet me, but I didn't expect him to be so bold and careful, and sent Dian Wei to answer first."

"If it weren't for Bowen and Dian Wei, I'm afraid my father would be poisoned by Tao Qian's thief army at this moment."

Cao Song looked up with empty eyes, and saw a lean back, with a straight waist, and every move was serious about doing things, without the slightest sense of falsehood.

For a moment, the guilt in my heart was even deeper.

What a good boy.

From the white body of the end of the micro, after becoming an official, he did not forget the instinct of the official, this simplicity, and the heart of a child, it is commendable.

Especially in this troubled world, it is even rarer.

"Apu, you said before, you thought that he would not be allowed to lead the army, so there was some blame?"

Cao Cao suddenly smiled bitterly, "No, this Xu Bowen is very rigid." ”

"But I don't know what I'm stubborn about, I let him lead the army, how can I not believe him?"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at Xu Zhen's figure in the distance, and couldn't help but shake his head.

What good can be gained by being stubborn and sticking to the so-called original intention? Being strict with oneself all day long is nothing more than winning the name behind you, and there is no other use for anything else!

"Let's go, go with my father and thank him and Dian Wei for saving their lives."

Cao Song suddenly cleaned up his emotions and walked ahead.

……

"What? Missing? ”

Cao Song and Cao Cao entered the ditch, but the front must not go any further, and the soldiers did not stop at this time, but continued to rush to work.

"Why?"

Father and son stared at each other, staring at each other with wide eyes.

And this kind of thing!?

He, he's gone?

"Lord, I'm really sorry, this ditch, my lord gave an order today, it must be completed, and tomorrow I will go to open up other fields."

"After that, we will divert Daze water into the fields near Juancheng, and if it can be successful, then there will be a large number of fresh fish and shrimp from the river to eat."

And for the people.

"Well, that's good!" Cao Cao glanced at the faces of these guards, they were all doing things seriously, and no one had any intention of being lazy.

This appearance is not ordinary.

"Okay," Cao Song's eyes shook because of this, "I now understand what kind of person Xu Bowen is." ”

"This is a true man of lofty ideals who deserves respect, not for fame, but for peace and prosperity."

"Ah Gou, this trend should be pushed forward."

Cao Song stroked his beard lightly, glanced at Dian Wei's sturdy body in the distance, and understood in his heart.

Only by leading by example in this way and bowing down to everything can he have such prestige, no wonder this kind of brave warrior who sacrificed his life obeyed his words.
