Extraterritorial grasslands, iron-blooded cities.

This city, which had been baptized by war for several months, finally ushered in the stability and development it deserved after everything had settled.

After Lu Haikong completed the burial of the martyrs and the opening ceremony of the Valhalla, Lu Haikong held a banquet to entertain the generals under his command that night, and by the way, it could be regarded as a reception for the small team that arrived.

That night, Lu Haikong didn't talk about any official business, it was just a simple celebration.

Not only the generals he entertained, but the entire army, in addition to the necessary vigilance troops, was also in their own celebrations.

After a difficult battle, it is still permissible and happy to see it when it is appropriate to relax properly.

Since there were no supplies delivered here after the war, in order to entertain these generals under his command, Lu Haikong deliberately took out some fine wine from Niuniu's new treasure house from his ring.

Not to mention, that little girl's talent in this area is really amazing, Lu Haikong's wine from her treasure trove is quite good in terms of taste and effect, so that the generals drank it very happily.

In contrast, the scholars of that small group were drinking with these generals, and many of them seemed a little restrained.

After all, these generals have just experienced a big war that lasted for a few months, and everyone has a sense of anger coming down from the battlefield at this time, although it is gradually eliminating, but the remaining ones are not ordinary scholars can face indifferently.

However, in that small team, there were four people whose performance attracted the attention of Lu Haikong.

The first one is Xun Yan, this guy even on this occasion gives people a feeling of careless decadence and powerlessness, Lu Haikong's gaze stayed on him for a while, and after silently noting it down in his heart, his eyes moved to his side.

As soon as Lu Haikong's gaze moved, he immediately met two pairs of bright eyes.

Those two pairs of eyes were staring at him from the beginning, the owners of these two pairs of eyes were Guo Jia and Shan Fu, and the two of them had been looking at Lu Haikong since they arrived, but the slight difference was that one was observing, and the other's eyes were completely full of adoration.

Lu Haikong nodded at the two little guys, and then swept his gaze across the small team, and among the remaining scholars, only one person made Lu Haikong's gaze stay for a while.

If Lu Haikong is not mistaken, that scholar should be called Sun Yi, and he is the best among the students who came out of the [Licai Academy].

And his performance at this time can indeed be called a leader, although he is not very suitable for the anger of those generals, but he can control his emotions, at least he will not show a restrained and uneasy demeanor.

Lu Haikong only paid a little attention to the small team, and did not mean to cultivate a relationship with them in the past, after all, the protagonists tonight are not them, but the group of soldiers who have been fighting bloodily for several months.

After months of fighting, the hard work of these soldiers can be imagined, so they are fully worthy of today's protagonists.

Lu Haikong's banquet tonight was not just a celebration, after three rounds of drinking, Lu Haikong asked Chen Ping on the side to take out the list that had been prepared early in the morning.

Lu Haikong glanced at the things in Chen Ping's hand and asked him to put away the list again.

Then Lu Haikong raised his wine glass and began to reward him.

After this kind of war, it is impossible for Lu Haikong to send away this group of generals under his command with just one dinner, and after working hard for several months, Lu Haikong will of course give these generals some rewards.

"This battle has been fought from mid-September to now, it all depends on your lives, the Iron Blood City has finally been completed, and the soldiers have used my life to shed blood for the establishment of the Iron Blood City, and of course my land, sea and air will not let the blood of the soldiers be shed in vain!"

Lu Haikong said, with a wave of his hand, Chen Ping stood up, took out the list in his hand and began to announce the reward.

For the group of generals under his command, Lu Haikong is still quite generous, basically the rewards of the main generals are thousands of acres of fertile land, as well as tens of thousands of gold rewards, and there are some houses and other things as rewards.

But the guys in the land, sea and air are more fond of weapons and mounts than these things.

These guys are all guys who live on the battlefield, and they are all in the prime of life, and no amount of money or good land is as good for them as weapons and mounts.

Among those generals, only Gao Shun was a little more excited when he heard that there was a monetary reward.

The generals on the side saw Gao Shun's excited expression, and the faces of some generals changed, and several of Gao Shun's sides distanced themselves from Gao Shun, as if they were not ashamed to be with Gao Shun, and even the small literati team on the opposite side also had a lot of senses for Gao Shun at this time.

This is also normal, the generals under the command of Lu Haikong are all in that kind of passionate period in their youth, in their opinion, Lu Haikong is their lord, and it is normal for them to shed their blood for Lu Haikong.

They are talking about loyalty, for this group of young generals, money rewards are completely dispensable, Gao Shun's excitement makes them very disgusted, except for some military generals who are familiar with Gao Shun, many people feel that Gao Shun is not loyal enough to land, sea and air, and is too utilitarian.

It is normal to have this kind of misunderstanding, the generals under the command of the army, navy and air force usually do not have much contact, each has its own tasks, and they don't know each other too well, although they have fought together for a few months, but Gao Shun has been eating and sleeping in the trap army for these months, and basically has not had much time to contact other generals. 、。

At this time, Gao Shun showed an expression that should not be revealed, so it was inevitable to be misunderstood.

Lu Haikong turned a blind eye to this situation for the time being, and after Chen Ping finished reading all the rewards, he stepped forward to add.

In addition, the bereavement pensions of all soldiers who died in this war were paid three times as much as usual, and all those who were injured and disabled in the battle and were unable to fight again and were forced to quit the army will be rewarded with 10 acres of fertile land for their families and children, so that they can have a solid life to rely on in the future.

The Army, Navy and Air Force, who have no children and no daughters, will set up a 'Invalides' to allocate special funds to help solve the living problems of soldiers after leaving the army, and we will arrange for them to work if they are able to work, and we will raise them until they are a hundred years later! ”

When Lu Haikong said this, Xun Yan, who was originally a little careless, paused, raised his head and looked at Lu Haikong's eyes flashing a little incredible, he knew very well the weight of Lu Haikong's words and the price he needed to pay.

And in the whole world, this kind of action of land, sea and air is still unique.

"The Lord is benevolent!"

At the same time as Lu Haikong's words landed, Gao Shun was the first to stand up and salute Lu Haikong.

Because among the generals present, only the soldiers under his command were indigenous NPCs, so Gao Shun had a deeper understanding of what Lu, Haikong's move meant to those soldiers, so of course he was extremely excited.

However, the generals around him did not understand Gao Shun's excitement, except for some generals who had contact with Gao Shun, such as Zhao Er, Dian Wei and other generals, many generals had more disdain for Gao Shun.

Especially those generals from the Huozi Battalion, they don't like Gao Shun's personality of 'whiskers and horses'.

Lu Haikong looked at the scene and sighed lightly, stepped forward to pull up the excited Gao Shun, and deliberately asked: "There are not a few of the money and good land properties I have rewarded you with over the years, right?" Why are you still so excited about that little thing today? ”

Hearing Lu Haikong's words, those who had misunderstandings about Gao Shun showed a sneer at the corner of their mouths, ready to see how Gao Shun answered.

How else can Gao Shun answer? He bowed his head and looked ashamed.

Looking at this guy like that, Lu Haikong sighed lightly.

"You guy, you gave all the things I rewarded you with to your subordinates who died in the Battle of Guangping, right?"

Gao Shun lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, and the generals on the side were stunned when they heard this.

"What I gave you, you can give it to you when you change hands, and you don't keep a little bit of it, you don't have half a penny in your pocket, a guy like you is the only one under my command." Lu Haikong sighed as he spoke, then reached out and patted Gao Shun's shoulder: "Don't do this in the future, I'll raise my soldiers!" ”

After speaking, Lu Haikong turned back to his seat.

And when Lu Haikong turned back, Gao Ran, who was originally sitting next to Gao Shun, came to Gao Shun with a glass of wine, and without speaking, he saluted Gao Shun and then took a sip.

This guy is also straight, he knows that he has misunderstood others, and he directly uses this most direct way to express his apologies.

After watching Gao Ran drink that glass of wine with a little stunned, some generals came out one after another to toast Gao Shun, and apologized in the same way.

When everyone had drunk the wine that should apologize, Lu Haikong raised his glass, and after the last glass of the military general Wenchen under his command, the banquet ended.

After the banquet, Guo Jia rarely came out with Xun Yan.

"What, not with that little friend of yours?" Xun Yan glanced at Guo Jia on the side and teased.

"I think you have something to say to me." Guo Jia looked at the starry sky during the stroll, and responded without looking back.

"What can I say to a little kid like you?"

Xun Yan chuckled, and then the two fell into silence and walked forward without saying a word.

There is a special atmosphere between the two, Xun Yan knows that what they saw today has brought a lot of impact to this little guy next to him, and he also knows what that guy is doing here.

"Have you decided to stay?" Guo Jia suddenly came to such a sentence without a head.

Xun Yan seemed to have known that Guo Jia would ask this, so he didn't have much surprise on his face, but looked up at the sky, and replied half-loudly: "Maybe it's not bad to stay." After all, the strength is very strong, and the generals under his command you can also see, good generals are like clouds and fierce warriors, and he himself is also a benevolent and righteous person, at least he is benevolent to his own people, and it will be easy to work under him, since sooner or later it is necessary to choose a person, it is not bad to choose a strong and easy to get along with. ”

Speaking of this, Xun You looked back at Guo Jia: "What about you, what did you think about?" ”

"Me? Let's take a look......" Guo Jia replied a little confused.
