Pei Qingrong first went to the government office in Tianhe Prefecture to see Qiao Lian'er.
Qiao Lian'er only needed to offer a few words of encouragement as usual, but seeing the attitude of those generals, she knew that there were things she had to say to Pei Qingrong.
"This garrison of 20,000 men is divided into four lieutenant generals, with an average age of 45. They have experience in fighting on the battlefield and are quite senior. Second sister-in-law is still so young, I'm afraid they will not obey your command."
“I have also been to the battlefield with the army several times and killed hundreds of enemies. Although I am not as old and experienced as them, I am by no means inferior. If they do not respect me, I will prove them wrong,” Pei Qingrong said.
Master Pei had long served as a general in the Imperial Guard. Influenced by him, she learned martial arts from a young age, including horseback riding and archery. When generals from the capital went out to fight, her father would let her go along to gain experience, provided that it was safe to do so.
Besides her father, Prince Pei also doted on her. Since Prince Pei had no daughters, he would do his best to provide her with support.
Qiao Lian'er was a little surprised. Only then did she realize that Pei Qingrong had also been to the battlefield and fought the enemy. She had never mentioned this before.
No wonder she sometimes saw a murderous aura in Pei Qingrong's eyes and thought it was just because she came from a military family. It turns out that it was forged in the blood of her enemies.
"Lian'er, I know that in order to gain respect in the army, you only need to do a few things: be capable enough, ruthless enough, and decisive enough."
"Since you've given me this opportunity, I will cherish it and make the most of it, because this is the path I'm meant to take in life. I won't give it up, and no one else can take it from me."
Seeing Pei Qingrong's resolute attitude, Qiao Lian'er knew there was no need for her to say anything more, and smiled knowingly.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm waiting to see how you do."
"One thing is that if they make a request, as long as it's not excessive, I can agree to it first and then report back to me."
Qiao Lian'er vaguely sensed that ever since she proposed Pei Qingrong as the commander-in-chief, some people had already harbored rebellious intentions. It wasn't that it was very obvious, but rather that their resentment and unwillingness to accept defeat might lead to this outcome.
As the owner of this fiefdom, opposing Pei Qingrong is tantamount to opposing her. If she doesn't want to stay here anymore, she won't force her.
"Okay, Lian'er, I'm off then."
Pei Qingrong left.
Several generals were discussing and arguing heatedly when a soldier outside the central camp reported that the new commander-in-chief had arrived with the official seal.
The generals exchanged glances, stopped arguing, and walked out of the central camp to stand by the railing.
Then a woman dressed in a tight-fitting outfit rode in on horseback, her hooves flying and stirring up yellow sand.
The woman bent down and quickly picked up the small military flags stuck on both sides of the road, doing so cleanly and efficiently in one go.
Such a smooth and fluid set of movements requires thousands of repetitions to achieve proficiency. When used on the battlefield, those flags become the enemy's heads, and the spear can sweep them away.
Huo Liao nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Qiu Dezhong was also slightly taken aback, but then dismissed it: "It's just a show; there are quite a few people in the army who know how to do this."
Liang Heda said, "But there aren't many people who can do it this smoothly and steadily."
The main road was almost finished, and the central army camp was right in front of us.
Pei Qingrong threw the flag in her hand, and the flag flew out of the air with the force of a thousand pounds, and firmly planted itself in the ground in front of her.
Upon reaching the battlefield, this meant the deaths of another wave of enemy soldiers.
