Chongzhen was actually worried that Xu Yingwei would become arrogant because of the victory at Hunhe.

After the previous great victory at Guting Town, didn’t Hu Guozhu drift away? The influence of the Hunhe Victory was even greater than the great victory at Guting Town, so Chongzhen was really worried that Xu Yingwei would drift away too.

But fortunately Xu Yingwei didn't.

Instead of being proud, Xu Yingwei became more humble.

"Ping Shen, You Zhen, please get up quickly." Chongzhen also quickly dismounted and wanted to help Xu Yingwei up.

But Xu Yingwei insisted on paying five obeisances and three kowtows to Chongzhen before he stood up.

Chongzhen held Xu Yingwei's hands and said in his heart that Xu Yingwei's humility and knowing how to advance and retreat was really the legacy of Xu Da.

Chongzhen even doubted whether Xu Yingwei's descendants were Xu Da's surviving children and grandchildren.

As a military general, it is not difficult to remain humble for a short period of time. The difficult thing is to remain humble for a long time.

In history, only a handful of generals like Xu Da were able to do this.

But now, Xu Yingwei has also achieved this. Although he has made great achievements, he is not proud at all.

If it were Nian Gengyao from another world line, who dared to ask the emperor to lead his horse after accomplishing the great feat of destroying the country, he really wouldn't know how to write the word "death".

Chongzhen said with a smile: "Youzhen, with this great victory over the Hunhe River, you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. I really don't know how to reward you, haha."

"Your Majesty has said too much." Xu Yingwei hurriedly declined, "This great victory at Hunhe was firstly dependent on His Majesty's strategic planning, and secondly, it was dependent on the lives of the soldiers of each infantry brigade. I just followed the prescription and took the medicine, and it was really not a great achievement.

If your Majesty chooses any diligent scholar to come here, he can also win a great victory over the Hun River."

"Too modest, chastity, too modest." Chongzhen said with a smile.

"You should take the lead in this great victory over the Hunhe River. This is an unquestionable fact."
