General's Office in Fengtian Town.

Several spies bowed to report back. Zhang Xiluan twirled his beard and listened quietly. After thinking for a while, he suddenly sighed, waved his hand for the spies to go down, turned to Lieutenant Liu and sighed: "What a hero is born from a boy."

! I’m ashamed of myself, I admire you, I admire you!”

Major Liu, who was following him, was in a mixed mood. He had concluded that He Rui had a lot of tricks before, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and swift. Thirty-five people took down Siping in two or three days. It's really shocking... I don't know how to put it.

.

Even though he had been working in the Office for a long time, he was used to seeing heroes, but such a figure was unprecedented. He was even more impressed and admired.

Zhang Xiluan walked around the living room a few times with his hands behind his back, but he was in a bad mood. He sighed and was stunned for a long time. Then he suddenly turned around and ordered: "Adjutant Liu, go and prepare 500 guns, 10 machine guns, three artillery pieces, 50,000 pieces."

Dayang. Take a company escort to Siping and hand it over to Captain He."

Major Liu was greatly surprised and said quickly: "Didn't the commander just send a batch of arms? Why do you want to send it again?"

"It's different this time. When you see Commander He, tell him that the Fengtian warehouse is tight now. This batch of arms and supplies will be temporarily stored with him. Please keep it for him!"

Major Liu was stunned, and suddenly found it a bit funny that Fengtian City had no warehouse for just some arms. When he met He Rui, he really didn't know how to say this.

But how could one disobey the commander's order? He bowed and replied: "I obey."

After saying that, he felt that this reason was too far-fetched and couldn't help but ask: "May I ask, Commander, what happened after giving these arms to Commander He?"

"Haha. Later, He Rui will definitely express something later." Zhang Xiluan twirled his beard and said with a smile.

Major Liu was suddenly stunned. If it had been anyone else, he would have understood at this moment that this "sign" was either an ocean or other valuable property. But when facing He Rui, Major Liu knew that the commander had no intention of asking for bribes, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

: "The commander-in-chief means that He Rui will give you a gift in return?!"

"That's right, but this 'ritual' is a rite or not a rite. You will know after you go there!"

When Major Liu heard this, he was still puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask again and saluted: "Does the commander have any other orders?"

"No more. Go ahead."

Two days later, Major Liu arrived in Siping again. He saw some notices posted at the entrance of the street, including notices to calm the people and recruitment notices. They were all recently posted.

Major Liu didn't look too much, and led his men and horses to escort the arms to the headquarters of the former security regiment, He Rui's headquarters.

I saw a lot of people queuing up at the door. He Rui's subordinates were wearing red sleeve bands and maintaining order. They seemed to be recruiting troops.

He Rui had already come out to welcome him, and the handover of the guns was completed by his subordinates. He Rui invited Major Liu into the headquarters. After hearing Major Liu convey Zhang Xiluan's message, He Rui sighed: "Brother Liu, Siping is full of troubles.

I am incompetent and have caused a lot of trouble to Marshal Zhang. I feel very sorry for it. Marshal Zhang was so kind, so he asked Brother Liu to go back and report to the Marshal. I was very grateful, and as for the temporary storage of arms..." He thought for a moment, then smiled slightly

He smiled and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry. I already know what the commander-in-chief means. Brother Liu, please wait for a moment and I will return the gift to the commander-in-chief."

After saying that, He Rui sat at his desk, took the Four Treasures of the Study, and wrote the IOU. But he didn't stop writing. He picked up another piece of paper and wrote a letter. At this time, the ink on the IOU was dry, why?

Rui stamped the signature, put the two texts into envelopes, and handed them to Major Liu, "Brother Liu, please be careful on the road and don't lose them."

At this time, Major Liu was confused and kept asking questions, but he saw that He Rui was just talking and laughing, looking around and talking to him, but did not say anything. He felt helpless and had no choice but to take the troops and ride back to Fengtian.

He handed the two things to Zhang Xiluan. Zhang Xiluan looked cautious and took them over and browsed them one by one. He pondered over them for a long time and couldn't help but praise them: "Such a young hero has been in officialdom for decades, but the hero didn't know it in front of him. He is really blind."

"Old eyes!" "He walked around the flower hall a few times, but he was still not satisfied. He couldn't help but sigh, "He Rui, He Rui, the dragon among real people!"

Ignoring the confused Major Liu, Zhang Xiluan turned around and returned to the inner room. He handed the IOU and the letter to his wife, "Put it in the box where you put your dowry, but keep it well. I want to pass this thing on to my children and grandchildren."

Mrs. Zhang was a first-time wife. The two had been married for decades and knew each other well. They were still confused after hearing this. She simply opened an envelope and browsed it carefully. However, she saw that it was not a bank note for the house deed but a land deed. It was just an IOU, let alone an IOU.

Solution. Mrs. Zhang frowned when she saw He Rui's name written on the borrower's page.

He Rui successfully negotiated with Japan's Kanto Governor-General, which spread the news of Japan's withdrawal to the upper echelons of Fengtian. This name was not unfamiliar to Mrs. Zhang. But seeing so many ordnances in the ocean, Mrs. Zhang felt a little heartbroken and asked: "Master,

These things are worth a lot of money, this He Rui is just a young boy, is it worth spending so much money on him?"

Zhang Xiluan's eyes widened, and then he sighed: "Woman's opinion! At my age, what's the point of asking for money? Now I'm planning for my children and grandchildren, and He Rui is the best among men, and his future is limitless. Don't think that it's just a matter of money."

A piece of paper and a letter, when the stormy weather comes one day, this thing can on the one hand keep the family in peace, and on the other hand, it can also serve as a stepping stone for the children and grandchildren."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was greatly surprised. She opened another envelope and took out the letter paper. She saw that it was written in a straightforward manner on July 4, 1915. He Rui had just arrived in Siping to take up a post. He was short of manpower and supplies. So he asked Zhang Xiluan for help.

, requesting to borrow some firearms and artillery, and some oceans. Although Fengtian was not rich in these aspects, Zhang Xiluan still generously helped and provided help in times of need. He sent these supplies to Siping and handed them over to He Rui, which solved He Rui's urgent need.

Although the content is simple and clear, you can understand it as soon as you read it. But it is not a thank you letter, but more like a casual note like a diary.

More importantly, there was neither thanks nor praise for Zhang Xiluan's great help. Instead, the date, location, and amount were recorded in detail, and then he signed it in his own hand and added He Rui's private seal.

Mrs. Zhang asked: "Master, what does He Rui mean by writing this?"

"Haha. Madam, if someone holds a letter like this, which President Yuan Da wrote when he was young and gave it to a friend, and that person's descendants hand this letter to me or Mr. Duan, what do you think we should do with it?

"

After saying that, Zhang Xiluan smiled, left the bedroom and went to the flower hall to sit down in an armchair.

Originally, Zhang Xiluan was only optimistic about He Rui, a junior, and would wait and see if there was no big trouble. But now it seems that he is still a frog in the well, looking down on heroes.
