When Zuo Houde returned home, he was wearing a brown robe and not wearing military uniform.

Zuo Houde knocked on the door, "Who?" A voice came from the room, and Zuo Houde heard the voice of his mother.

So he shouted: "Mother, it's me, I'm back!"

Suddenly, the mother opened the door and rushed out, followed by Zuo Houde's wife Huang Rong whom he was thinking about day and night.

Zuo’s mother saw Zuo Houde and her eyes turned red: “Houde, you have lost weight!”

Zuo Houde didn't know if every mother didn't see her son for a long time. She felt that her son had lost weight, but Zuo Houde felt the concern of her mother, so she comforted her: "I haven't lost weight! My son just grew taller!"

Sure enough, after hearing what his son said, Zuo's mother realized that her son had really grown taller, "Okay! OK! OK, look at your wife, she has been talking about you at home a lot."

After hearing what Zuo’s mother said, Zuo Houde immediately stepped forward and hugged his wife gently: “I’m back, Rong’er.”

Originally, he was still good at it. After hearing Zuo Houde said this, Huang Rong couldn't help it, her eyes turned red, and tears couldn't stop coming out, "Husband, I miss you so much."

Zuo Houde wiped Rong'er's tears and said softly: "I miss you too, am I back now?"

After that, Zuo Houde entered the house and the three of them sat in front of the hall.

Zuo's mother asked, "Zeng Mo, are you injured?"

Zuo Houde didn't worry them either: "It's okay, it's all minor injuries."

Rong'er was a little surprised: "Didn't you say you are a military doctor in the rear? How could you be injured?"

Zuo Houde pulled his wife's hand and put it in his own hand. He gently stroked and comforted his wife. Rong'er's pretty face turned red.

"I didn't work as a military doctor later, and I went to the battlefield later."

Zuo's mother was suddenly angry: "Why don't you become a military doctor? How dangerous it is on the battlefield!"

"It's okay, mother, am I back now?" Zuo Houde comforted.

As he said that, Zuo Houde made a message and decided to make his mother happy: "Mother, this time I have made meritorious contributions in the army, and this time I will probably be a general."

Zuo's mother thought Zuo Houde was joking, and couldn't help but whisper: "If you become a general, won't you defeat the war?"

Rong'er also smiled: "Mother, what if you won by accident?"

Zuo Houde also knew that they thought they were joking, and immediately said, "Yes, I just accidentally won several big battles. Now I am Sima. When I am rewarded with merit, I will definitely be a general. Haha!"

This is what Zuo's mother heard her son's words and asked: "Are you joking? Are you all Sima now?"

"Okay, mother, I'm not joking. I'm really Sima now. After I reward you with merits, I will definitely be a general." Zuo Houde said seriously.

This was Rong'er who was surprised to cover her mouth: "Are you telling the truth, husband?"

"Really, Xiao Rong'er who didn't lie to me."

...

Seeing the father in front of him, Zuo Houde was also a little helpless.

"Dad, really, I'm a Sima now." Zuo Houde said helplessly. When his mother heard Zuo Houde say that he was a Sima, she went directly to the restaurant and called Zuo Jizu back. Unexpectedly, Zuo Jizu also looked disbelief.

"You boy didn't lie to me, are you a Sima now? We have been in the clan for decades, and the most powerful person in the army is a Sima. Even if you haven't become a military doctor, you won't be Sima so soon. OK! You said you are Sima, tell me, how did you do it in Sima?" Zuo Jizu was a little reluctant.

"Okay, Dad, I'll tell you." Zuo Houde had no choice but to start from being a personal guard, slowly made contributions, and came up with a plan to become Sima.

Listening to Zuo Houde's full of words, Zuo Jizu believed it a little, and finally asked again: "I really didn't lie to me?"

After being recognized by Zuo Houde, Zuo Jizu hurriedly pulled Zuo Houde to the ancestral hall, burned a few incense sticks, and muttered the words: "Ancestors bless you, Houde has become Sima."

Zuo Houde burned several incense sticks in a row, and then it was over.

Another four or five days passed.

In the past few days, the parents spread the news everywhere, which made Zuo Houde dare not go out. As soon as he went out, someone asked: "Houde, I heard that you have become Sima, it's amazing!"

Zuo Houde did nothing. Zuo Houde brought a gift to visit his teacher Jian Ming, and took his wife back to his father-in-law's house to visit his relatives. He spent most of his time at home and kept warm with his wife. As the saying goes, "A small separation is better than a newlywed."

The day for rewarding merits and deeds has finally come.

This time, the reward for merit and practice was in the palace of King Yan. It can be said that except for the name of one emperor, some emperors have other emperors. For example, this palace is both the palace of King Yan and the place where they usually attend court.

Of course, not everyone who has made merit can come. You must have great achievements, and at least you can get a title of lieutenant or above.

The King of Yan sat on the move, while the other soldiers who had made contributions stood below.

"The left-wing general Huang Xiaoyuan led his troops and successively captured dozens of cities such as Wuchao and Quancheng, and appointed him as the former general, and rewarded him with a mansion, 3,000 hectares of land and 50,000 taels of silver." Of course, Huang Xiaoyuan naturally could not receive these things now. The King of Yan would send someone to Qingzhou to reward them.

When Zuo Houde heard it below, he felt that these things were really real, with promotion and wealth, and he couldn't help but start looking forward to his reward.

Next came another group of people who were not familiar to Zuo Houde, but Fu Tianyou heard it.

"The General of the Tiger Power Central Army Fu Tianyou is brave and resourceful, and leads troops well. He is granted the title of General Pingnan and rewards a thousand hectares of land and ten thousand taels of silver."

It's much less than Huang Xiaoyuan, but it's normal. After all, the two of them are not at the same level at all.

Finally, Luo Lie's arrival, "Luo Lie, the chief military captain, was extremely brave and had many achievements when he was a vanguard on the left. He was granted General Fenwu and rewarded 800 hectares of land and 5,000 taels of silver."

Luo Lie hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

"The army Sima Zuo Houde was brave and scheming. He had many achievements when he defeated Wuchao. He was granted the title of General Xuanwei, and rewarded 800 hectares of land and 5,000 taels of silver." This time, he was on par with Luo Lie. Zuo Houde quickly saluted.

Since he rewarded merits, Zuo Houde returned home. As for the items he gave, someone would send them. Zuo Houde just needed to receive them at that time.

"What, General Heroes!" Zuo Jizu brought Zuo Houde to the ancestral hall and burned a few sticks of incense.

At this time, Zuo Houde's position had not been confirmed, and Zuo Houde didn't know where he was going to garrison. Zuo Houde had already inquired about it before. Most of the miscellaneous generals like Zuo Houde were sent to a certain county to be garrison generals.
