Is there any future in following Pei Qingrong?
She was quite capable, but managing an army, or even leading troops into battle, was a completely different matter.
Qiu Dezhong said, "My brother has been in the garrison in Tianhe Prefecture since he was in his twenties. He's tired of this place and wants to change places."
"Yes, our uncle is the commander-in-chief in Longzhou. He is almost sixty years old and it won't be long before he retires from the army. That's when my brother and I will have a chance."
"President Pei is so young, there's no hope for us if we stay here."
Huo Liao frowned. The Qiu brothers made this decision for two reasons: disbelief and resentment.
Pei Qingrong had long seen that her two brothers were resentful of her. She said, "I can understand your feelings, but there is still hope for you to go further. If you do well, it is not impossible to transfer the outer city defense army, the inner city army, and the imperial guards to the capital. As long as a person has the ability, there are plenty of opportunities."
Seeing Pei Qingrong trying to persuade them to stay, the two became even more convinced that a general who relied so heavily on his subordinates probably wouldn't amount to much.
Isn't it just that they're afraid the army won't be able to hold up if they leave?
If that's the case, why occupy such an important position?
The two brothers became even more determined to leave.
"Let's go see Princess Zhenguo and have a talk with her."
Pei Qingrong said all she had to say. She wasn't trying to persuade them to stay, but rather to offer those who remained a glimmer of hope for the future.
Those who follow her will never be treated unfairly.
Watching Qiu Dezhong and Qiu Deyi leave, heading towards the Tianhe Prefecture government office.
Pei Qingrong's expression was calm and resolute.
Liang Heda and Huo Liao saw this and felt a greater sense of admiration.
The Qiu brothers showed no respect whatsoever, yet this young woman did not feel hurt or angry; instead, she remained remarkably calm.
He's someone who can keep things stable.
“General Liang, General Huo, you trust me,” Pei Qingrong said.
Huo Liao clasped his hands in a fist and solemnly said, "General Pei has this determination, and we will cooperate well to train the elite infantry as soon as possible."
Liang Heda also said, "Princess Zhenguo has a plan, and Commander Pei also has his own opinions. So, we can just rest assured and follow orders."
For Pei Qingrong, she couldn't expect all these generals to obey her. It was enough for her that Huo Liao and Liang Heda were able to stay. She wouldn't force those who didn't want to stay, so as not to affect the future training schedule and add hidden dangers.
Qiu Dezhong and Qiu Deyi found the government office, and Qiao Lian'er left them waiting for a while before letting them in.
Seeing their gloomy and depressed expressions, she asked, "What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with Commander Pei?"
"It's not that we have a problem with Commander Pei, it's just that we've been in Tianhe Prefecture for too long and we're getting a bit tired of it. We want to change to a fresh place," Qiu Dezhong said.
Qiu Deyi continued, "General Pei can be seen to have some ability, but she is, after all, a young woman. We cannot entrust our future to her."
