After the meeting broke up, Xu Ze deliberately left Xu Hui and said that he would take her to a place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Along the way, seeing that Xu Hui was silent for a long time, Xu Ze pondered for a moment, and Fang Wenyan asked: "I saw you Caicai, some thoughts don't belong, but you are too afraid?" ”

"No, I'm not afraid, it's just ......" Xu Hui pondered her words for a while, trying to let Xu Ze know her thoughts, and at the same time, she would not think that she was timid and afraid, and deprived her of the right to go to the front line, "The granddaughter knows that her ability is not enough, her prestige is not high, and she is restricted by gender. If you defeat the invading enemy, you only need to deploy it properly, with the intention of 'defending your hometown', even if you fail, the soldiers will fight bravely, and the granddaughter can do it with her conceit, and she can open the gap in Taiyuan County...... My granddaughter can see that in the past two years, the officials of the party have become accustomed to my participation in politics and will listen to my opinions. But most of their attitudes and impressions of me were just a special staff, and they suddenly ...... suddenly became the commander of an army, and his granddaughter was afraid...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to suppress my discussions and worries without using strong measures, but if I am too tough, I will easily lose people's hearts......"

Even if in the past two years, as Xu Pan swept away the bandits, his heart has become ruthless, his hands have become hot, he no longer feels guilty about killing people, and he no longer sheds tears, and many things can be learned and used, not like in the past, but so what? Clearing out bandits and overcoming counties and counties are two completely different concepts, the commander of an army, does she, a person who has not been through the battlefield, really have to do it? Although it has always been the practice of Daqi to use his family as the commander, with Xu Hui's current age and qualifications, not to mention that she will command the army, even if she is replaced by her brother, the rightful heir of the Xu clan of the Shangdang, Xu Heng, who is two years older than her, among the military generals, how many can be convinced?

Civil officials are hearty, twisting and turning, even if they are not angry in their hearts, they also have a smile on their faces; The generals go straight to the point, admire the men who can beat themselves, like the Shangguan who can bring benefits to themselves, and respect the great man who is the champion Hou and the wolf. Xu Hui admits that these three points, at most he has anything to do with the words "bring benefits", but because there are still people above, he can't even make rash promises.

"When they are not convinced, they are beaten until they are convinced; They despise you, so they eat meat and drink wine with them, and see your pride. If you can't get through this little battle, it will be in vain for me to trust and nurture you. Xu Ze didn't take Xu Hui's worries to heart at all, and he didn't like the practice of employing people mostly based on qualifications since ancient times, so he waved his hand disappreciatively, and thought that even if he was reborn in a lifetime, Xu Hui was still a native of Daqi, and he didn't have so many deviant concepts, his expression softened, and he said softly, "You have been busy with me all these years, and you have suffered a lot with white eyes, not to mention your reputation, and you can't get the understanding of your mother, aunt and sister, and you have paid so much for your former wishes, It can be seen that the heart is firm. In this case, the first stop of the rise of the Shangdang Xu clan, you must participate! Whether it's picking up credit, presiding over the overall situation, if you want to be recognized by others, this step must be taken by you first, understand? ”

Although Xu Ze's words were soft, they revealed his meaning.

This world is so unfair, even in every battle that the Shangdang Xu clan has experienced, Xu Heng has not participated, but just sat back and enjoyed the results in the most stable place. All the subordinates of the Shangdang Xu clan also had to respectfully call him Da Langjun and serve him in the future, but Xu Hui couldn't. If she wants to do what only men can do in the eyes of the world, she doesn't want to be like a caged bird and decorate a man's courtyard with her life, so she must work a thousand times harder. Because of this, Xu Ze handed over the first opportunity, which was easier, even if something went wrong, to Xu Hui.

This is not only her experience, but also her unparalleled trust, in the huge world, except for Xu Ze, no one can do this.

Xu Hui was excited, and just as he wanted to say something, Xu Ze's voice sank: "What's more, except for you, this stall is not spread out enough to be big, and now I have to be cronyistic, and I am in the party Xu, and there is no one available." ”

"Grandfather ......"

"I know you want to defend your brother, but Hen'er is ...... In addition to your and my words, even Zihou's admonition is faintly dismissive, and he has never suffered any setbacks, and when the situation is stable, he can still keep a cool head. And whether he wins or loses, he can become emotionally unstable, and the battlefield is changing rapidly, no one can predict it, how can it always be smooth and smooth? Thinking of this, even if he was like Xu Ze, he could only sigh helplessly, "What's more, he has always been conceited of his own wisdom, and he likes to be resourceful rather than positive, it is beautiful to win, but what if he loses?" He has never been hit by defeat, and if he loses, he will definitely want to take it back...... If you lose, the generals are prepared, and they may not go to the worse step. But with his status and the mouth with a lotus tongue, it is really ...... Alas! ”

Xu Hui had the heart to defend his brother, but Xu Ze had no choice but to say that every word was true. The Battle of Changping, which took place in Shangdang 600 years ago, laid the foundation for Qin's unification of the Six Kingdoms, and also left Zhao Kuo with an eternal infamy of "talking on paper...... Thinking of this, Xu Hui shook his head again and again, and said in his heart that he was really good at thinking nonsense, how could he compare his brother with Zhao Kuo? When it comes to having no experience in on-the-spot matches, isn't she also one?

Before Xu Hui could think about it, Xu Ze stopped and stood still in front of a row of warehouses.

Shangdang is mountainous, layered, and difficult to distinguish the direction of the mountain range, which has also become the best cover for some of Shangdang Xu's private actions. Whether it is a workshop for smelting iron and steel, an experimental field for studying agricultural technology, or a core of a craftsman workshop for studying tool transformation, they are all built in the deep mountains.

Xu Hui knew that on the other two hills, there was the residence and training place of the Shangdang Xu cavalry, as well as the horse ranch of the Shangdang Xu clan. As far as the eye can see, the open posts and secret posts and the troops that take turns patrolling and changing guards have formed a strong defense line, and if you want to pass the first gate, there is a warrant, and you have to pass three passwords, not to mention the deep warehouse. But she didn't know what was stored in this warehouse she had never been to.

She didn't need to ask more, because Xu Ze had already taken out a long string of keys, opened the thick copper lock, and then ordered the two parts to push open the door.

When he saw what was in the warehouse, Xu Hui was stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.

She had seen the largest number of troops in her life, that is, the more than 1,000 people she saw when she went to Yangzhai with Xu Ze. Rao is like this, and because these more than 1,000 people are scattered relatively apart, and they are also in charge of escorts, they can't give people much shock. But when looking at the spear tips and spear heads that were neatly stacked and piled up throughout the warehouse, Xu Hui thought of the scene where they were mounted on guns and spears and held high by soldiers.

After being silent for a long time, Xu Hui easily calmed down, her eyes looked around among the twenty warehouses, and then asked with some hesitation: "Are there all ...... in these warehouses?"

When Xu Ze heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Iron is easy to rust, make too many spear tips, put it in either a waste of iron, or a waste of oil, how could I do such a stupid thing?" Among the twenty-four storehouses, there are no more than five of them that really put the tips of spears and spears, one of which is a banner, nine of which are armor, and five of which are swordsmen. The remaining four rooms are all full of arrowheads, and one of them is all special, enough to decide the outcome of the special arrows. ”

The meaning of his words was that except for the troops of the Shangdang Xu clan and the elite of the state and county soldiers, the peasants who were temporarily recruited should not get an inch of iron from him unless they were sure to be in the army all the time, and at most they would stab the enemy with sharpened wooden spears.

Coercing homeless people or peasants as pawns to consume the opponent's combat power, and deciding the victory or defeat with the elite, is a normal practice in this era. As soon as this remark came out, Xu Ze, the person who said it, sighed in his heart, and secretly said that he had been tempered by time and years, assimilated by society, and had become such a person, but Xu Hui was not the slightest surprised, but he just pulled out the three-edged thorn that Xu Ze gave her from the belt around his waist, and his face was full of surprise, but he still asked uncertainly: "The special arrow, isn't it ......?"

Seeing Xu Ze nodding lightly to show acquiescence, Xu Hui really couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

The three-edged arrowhead appeared in the Qin and Han dynasties, and was specially used to deal with the Huns who did not wear armor or wore leather armor. However, this arrow has high requirements for the craftsmanship of craftsmen, and the cost is also very expensive, so it has never been popularized. Shangdang Xu's is also relying on the past few years, blast furnace technology and coal coking, coke iron-making and steelmaking technology gradually matured, and because of the disasters for many years, the collection of many craftsmen with craftsmanship gathered here, heavy money sent people to research and development, and according to local conditions to take a little bit of "assembly line operation" of the four ways, before daring to mass production. But Rao is like this, the "arrow in a warehouse" in Xu Ze's mouth is also very serious.

Xu Hui calculated carefully, if it is packed in a common wooden box in the people's homes, these arrows can hold thirty-six boxes, which seems to be a lot, but it was fired in several rounds...... There's not much left. It can be seen that such objects are still rare in the end and must be used sparingly. Not to mention dealing with ordinary militia, even the elite of the enemy's troops are not qualified to be greeted by such good things.

"This is ......" Xu Hui's eyes were so sharp, he swept around slightly, and immediately found that a box was not much different from the side of it, not to mention the two or three sizes smaller, the workmanship was also a lot better, and it was also placed in the most hidden position, if it was not carefully observed, no one would generally pay attention.

Seeing this, Xu Ze said lightly: "It's just a box of armor-piercing cones, if you want to see it, I'll give you the key." Well, you can follow me to the cavalry camp first, they have this thing there, too. (To be continued.) )
