Looking along Xu Rui's fingers, I saw boxes of grenades under the tarpaulin, and there were as many as forty or fifty boxes.

Since the Battle of the Valley, the generals of the army have seen the power of the artillery of the Apocalypse Guard, and they have all been deeply shocked, setting off a frenzy of firearms.

Especially Deng He personally participated in the battle, and watched the incomparable Wuling army being beaten into a chicken and a dog by Xu Rui's artillery, and his heart was shocked and indescribable, and his desire for firearms was even more indescribable.

They are all generals who lead troops, who doesn't want to have a sharp weapon in their hands that can determine the future? As early as the end of the battle, some anxious generals directly handed over a fold to Emperor Hongwei, requesting the transfer of a batch of firearms.

However, firstly, the battle was not over, and it was impossible for Emperor Hongwei to deploy firearms in a favoritish manner, and secondly, the inventory of the military department was all looted by An Ge, and it would take time for new production, so Emperor Hongwei could not do it even if he wanted to.

In the end, this matter was gone, but the more you can't get it, the more coveted it becomes, including of course the southeast general soldier, General Deng.

Seeing the grenade in front of him, Deng He's eyes widened, and he swallowed back the words of rejection that came to his lips, and looked at Xu Rui in dismay.

"What, General Deng doesn't like it?"

Xu Rui asked with a smile.

Deng He shook his head and said in a deep voice: "How can you not like the things you think about in the morning?" It's just that military resources, grain and grass have always been uniformly allocated by the Ministry of War, especially the matter of firearms, which is quite favored by the saints, so how can we be allowed to receive them privately? ”

"It turns out that the general is worried about this."

Xu Rui chuckled: "The general is too worried, the so-called general is outside, the king's order is not affected, General Deng also wants to annihilate the remnants of the Wuling pro-army, in order to deal with a strong enemy, the artillery of the Apocalypse Guard will be transferred to the general's command, what is this grenade?" ”

Hearing this, Deng He was shocked and suddenly looked at Xu Rui.

Without waiting for him to ask, Xu Rui said with a solemn face: "The general doesn't know, although the Apocalypse Guard defeated 200,000 rebels in one battle, the number of Apocalypse Guards is limited after all, and he has to face the chaos in Xichuan, and he is simply unable to pursue the fleeing Wuling army.

At present, the 5,000 Wuling pro-army left behind in Xichuan, and about 2,000 people, regrouped and retreated to the north of Miyahefu, intending to escape from Xichuan by boat.

The army of the Southern Dynasties colluded with the Cui clan to take advantage of the situation and launch a surprise attack on our northern country, and the crimes committed are too numerous to mention, and Ben Shuai will not sit idly by and watch them return to China safely no matter what.

It didn't matter if he was unable to catch it before, but now that the general is leading a large army to help, Ben Shuai has long been determined to wipe it out! ”

When it came to business, Deng He immediately put aside his previous prejudices, hugged his fists and said: "The last general has been ordered by the Holy Lord and sent by the adults, and he will never let go of the Wuling army, but this battle should be led by Xu Shuai, why is the deployment of the Tianqiwei artillery to the command of the last general?" ”

Xu Rui laughed and said: "General Deng, Ming people don't say dark words, you have traveled thousands of miles to help, if I take all the credit in my arms, won't you scold me behind my back?" ”

Deng He was stunned again, he didn't expect Xu Rui to directly pick out the matter, and his old face suddenly turned red.

In this Great War between the North and the South, although the southeastern frontier army contributed a lot, its performance in all the battles was unsightly, and on the contrary, it confirmed its reputation as weak in combat strength.

Now that the war has come to an end, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for meritorious service, and seeing that this broken hat can no longer be taken off, all the soldiers are anxious to get angry.

Along the way, his subordinates found Deng He more than once and discussed what means to use to force Xu Rui to give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, from using Deng He's qualifications to oppress people, to using the number of troops to create incidents and forcing Xu Rui to submit.

I thought of all the crooked tricks I could think of, but I didn't expect Xu Rui to give up this opportunity to make meritorious service so generously, not only that, but he even provided weapons and artillery, which can be regarded as a real Buddha sent to the west.

You must know that before this, Xu Rui was the only one in the world who could defeat the Wuling pro-army, if it was really as Xu Rui said, then Deng He's name would be written on this huge merit book, how could this not make him excited?

With this alone, Deng He's prejudice against Xu Rui not only disappeared immediately, but even felt a little guilty about spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Deng He looked at Xu Rui, and secretly said that although this kid likes to put on music, it is just a common problem for young people to show off.

"Thank you Xu Shuai Gaoyi, as the commander, you can't let the soldiers return home with notoriety after shedding blood and sweat, my southeast border army really needs this credit too much."

Deng He solemnly hugged his fist at Xu Rui, and his tone was already a little more respectful.

Xu Rui smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's all about protecting the family and defending the country, where is the difference between inside and outside, the reason why the border army is weak is actually due to the policy of giving priority to the twelve guards in our northern country, it is not the fault of the soldiers, and the generals don't have to worry about it."

However, this battle also exposed some problems, the low combat strength of the border army can not always be the norm, it just so happens that the commander has a vacancy in the military department, and after returning home, he will allocate the newly made firearms to the border army as appropriate.

Of course, how much combat power these firearms can increase depends on how the general uses them. ”

"What?!"

Deng He was shocked, Xu Rui was in charge of the Arsenal and Clearance Department of the Ministry of War, so he naturally had the right to distribute firearms, but after this battle, the whole army must be waiting for his firearms, and it was not enough to allocate them to the twelve guards of the Beijing Division, and he could even squeeze out some of them to be distributed to the border army?

Only if you know how unpopular the border army is in the military department, will you understand how rare Xu Rui's move is, Deng He has been working hard in the border army all his life, how can he not understand the kindness in this?

He was suddenly moved in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to thank him, but at this moment, Cao Siyuan happened to come over and reported in a low voice: "Dashuai, there are many family heads outside the camp gate, asking to see Dashuai." ”

Deng He frowned, but Xu Rui asked lightly, "Is the Wang family here?" ”

Cao Siyuan nodded and said, "Wang Tongli, the head of the Wang family, came in person, and he was alone, without any subordinates. ”

The corners of Xu Rui's mouth hooked up a smile and said: "I'm afraid this old fox has already seen the clues, and he knows that he is in a hurry at this time, but unfortunately it's too late, so he will prepare to help me carry the black cauldron, and tell them that Ben Shuai is discussing important matters with General Deng, and no one will see him!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Cao Siyuan immediately took the order and left.

After he left, Deng He's face suddenly sank, and he said solemnly: "Xu Shuai, the last general entered Xichuan this time and found that Xichuan was suddenly in chaos, what is going on?" ”

Xu Rui smiled: "When General Deng came, he should have also received a secret order, right?" ”

Deng He nodded, stretched out his thumb and slashed his neck, his face full of murderous anger.

Xu Rui nodded: "That's right, the soldiers defend their families and defend the country, and they fought all the way, why waste their strength on these scum, after they kill each other, let's clean up the mess, the general doesn't have to worry." ”

Deng He's eyes froze, and he immediately understood what Xu Rui meant, and blurted out: "It turns out that Xu Shuai deliberately provoked the civil strife in Xichuan?" ”

Xu Rui shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, but Deng He sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect adults to act so calmly at such a young age, and I won't tell you that I was transferred for you to drive this time, and I always feel very awkward in my heart."

Especially when I bowed, I was even more angry in my heart, so I thought that I would write this matter as it was and tell you a complaint in the Holy Lord, and now I think about it, I am really ashamed. ”

Xu Rui shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "The general doesn't have to be like this, he can write the excerpt how he wants, otherwise the general's head will not be knocked in vain?" ”

Deng He was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and frowned: "Could it be that Xu Shuaifang did it on purpose for others to see?" ”

Xu Rui smiled without saying a word, and beckoned to Guo Shengbao behind him: "Where is Guo Shengbao?" ”

"The last general!"

Guo Shengbao immediately stepped out of the queue and knelt down on one knee.

Xu Rui pointed at Deng He and said: "Listen, from today onwards, the artillery will be under the command of General Deng, and its life is my life, and you must not disobey!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

Guo Shengbao took the order and returned.

When Deng He heard this, he was excited again, this is the only artillery in the world, but he didn't expect that even Xiao and Liu, the two marshals, as well as those high-ranking twelve guard commanders, had never touched it, but they wanted to be commanded by him first, and his heart was suddenly very proud.

But after a moment of excitement, Deng He quickly calmed down, remembering Xu Rui's words, he asked himself to write the matter of bowing as it was, which was equivalent to sending a handle to the imperial historians in the capital.

At this moment, he suddenly understood Xu Rui's deep meaning, a young general who was only eighteen years old, if he could still know how to advance and retreat, without a little inflated heart, or even a little weakness, wouldn't it be too terrifying?

Self-defilement, this is self-defilement......

I didn't expect Xu Rui to be so young, not only to judge the situation, but also to be so insightful of people's hearts, and to see the merits and humiliation so lightly, which is really terrifying.

Deng He turned around and saw that Xu Rui had already walked away, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, you entrusted everything to the last general, I don't know what you are going to do during this time?" ”

Xu Rui turned around, was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "The marshal still has some personal matters to deal with, so he has to bother the general." ”

"Private matters?!"

Deng He never expected Xu Rui to answer like this, and he was stunned again.

"General, this Xu Rui is too ignorant of the depths, and he is so disrespectful to you, the soldiers can't stand it anymore, do you want to ......?"

The deputy general didn't know the inside story, so he leaned into Deng He's ear and said cruel words angrily, but he was interrupted by Deng He waving his hand halfway through the words.

Deng He looked at Xu Rui's back, his face showed unprecedented seriousness, and he said solemnly: "Xu Rui's son is definitely not a thing in the pool, remember, in the future, all orders he gives must be carried out to the end, and there is no slackness!" ”

"Hiss......"

The deputy general gasped and looked at Deng He in astonishment.

"General, this son is so unsightly, how can you bear this evil breath?"

Deng He shook his head and said seriously: "Before, we were too stupid to see through other people's cleverness, look at it, in three years at most, Xu Rui will definitely become the biggest national pillar of my Great Wei!" ”

The adjutant general's mouth grew in surprise when he heard this.
