"So you still don't trust Commander Pei." Qiao Lian'er smiled faintly.
"I have said that I want to build the garrison in Tianhe Prefecture into an elite infantry force. A large amount of money will be invested. If this goal can be achieved, they will be an invincible army on the battlefield. Why should you worry about not having a better future?"
"The capital is only a hundred miles away. Besides making meritorious contributions on the battlefield, if you perform well in peacetime, you will also have the opportunity to be transferred to the capital. Why rush it?"
These people might need to cooperate on the battlefield later, so even if she's unhappy, she won't say anything too harsh.
“What Princess Zhenguo was talking about is still something unseen and intangible. Now that the situation in the army has changed, we want to focus more on the present, at least to make ourselves feel more comfortable,” Qiu Dezhong said resolutely.
"It seems the two generals have made up their minds." Qiao Lian'er's tone was flat; to her, those who disobeyed orders should be kicked out of her territory.
“We hope Princess Zhenguo will grant our request. We acknowledge Princess Zhenguo’s abilities, but it is not you who should be the commander-in-chief to train the troops,” Qiu Deyi said.
"Where do you think you're going?" Qiao Lian'er asked.
Qiu Dezhong: "It's the nearby Longzhou. Our uncle is the commander there. Longzhou is located in the north and is the chosen state. If the north invades, it will be responsible for the first line of defense. So the garrison has 50,000 troops. When we get there, we will have a greater chance to use our skills."
Qiao Lian'er tapped her fingers slowly on the table: "You want to take your men with you? But most of them are from Tianhe Prefecture. Even if Longzhou is closer, it will still be quite a distance compared to before. I'm afraid many of them won't be willing."
"Take only a thousand personal guards, and leave the rest behind. Please arrange for the princess to fill the gaps caused by this, or send them from Longzhou. Once we go there, there will definitely be a relocation of generals. It would be better to exchange them between the two places."
Qiu Deyi still felt a little guilty.
After all, they had their own selfish reasons for leaving. They had long wanted to go to Longzhou, where the economy was developed, the army was larger, and it was a strategically important place with more opportunities. All the talk about brotherhood was just a lie; they just couldn't be transferred there.
Now, by using Princess Zhenguo's help to achieve this goal, it is as if they have taken advantage of Princess Zhenguo.
The original governor couldn't do it, but Princess Zhenguo could.
Qiao Lian'er said, "This is not difficult for me, but won't you regret it?"
"No regrets." The two said in unison, their faces already showing eagerness.
There are only 5,000 troops here, but there might be 10,000 in Longzhou. Just thinking about it makes me envious.
“Okay, wait for my news. You should be able to go there within three days.” Qiao Lian’er readily agreed.
The two were overjoyed.
"As expected of the Princess who protects the country, her efficiency is truly remarkable." Qiu Dezhong felt a little regretful; if Qiao Lian'er had led the army, he would have accepted it.
Pei Qingrong had just taken office when she immediately organized the army and began training them according to battle formations.
Qiu Dezhong and Qiu Deyi did not participate in training; they spent their days drinking and eating meat in their tents.
Pei Qingrong didn't care. She had received Qiao Lian'er's order to transfer the two brothers. Lian'er was currently going through the procedures in the Ministry of War and Longzhou.
Qiu Deyi went out for a while and happened to observe the formation for a while. When he returned, his expression was a little strange.
"Brother, this woman seems to have some skill in training troops. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Qiu Dezhong, drunk, waved his hand and said, "I don't care. She just gives orders. Who can't do that? There are so many people in the army who don't respect her and are lazy and indolent. She can't train them."
