Chapter 24 The Agreement with Deng Dang
"Ameng? How do you know him?" Deng Dang felt very strange when he heard Lu Meng's name. He really didn't understand how Pei Qing knew about such a child?
Pei Qing immediately knew that it was broken when he heard this. Lu Meng was just a child after all, and he had no reason to know it, but this could not help him. He just thought about it for a moment and said seriously: "To be honest, I saw him when I was a businessman. Although he was young, he had a very good bones and would definitely be a talented general in the future. Now, when you suddenly mentioned that your fiancée's surname was Lu, I remembered him and tried to ask, but I didn't expect it was him."
"Amun? Will he be a general of the generation?" Deng Dang looked in disbelief after hearing this.
However, Pei Qing did not speak, but smiled mysteriously.
Lu Meng’s problem is actually very tricky, but the most important thing at the moment is to conquer Deng Dang. Because conquering Deng Dang means being able to conquer Lu Meng. This is one of the famous Four Heroes of the Eastern Wu!
So Pei Qing said, "It's not difficult for you to survive, but I ask you to swear to be loyal to me from now on, and you can only be loyal to me. If you can do it, I will not only spare you, but also reuse you. In the future, your status will definitely be much higher than being Sun Wentai's personal soldiers."
Deng Dang's face showed hesitation. Although he surrendered to Pei Qing due to the situation, he did not intend to be loyal to him in his heart. After all, Pei Qing was just a bandit in his identity. What future would he have for him to join him? The best way is to temporarily depend on him and then leave when the opportunity is right. For them, resigning to the son of the young master Sun Ce is of course the best choice, because they believe that Sun Ce is definitely not a person who has been living for a long time, and they will not be sure to break away from Yuan Shu and become independent one day.
Pei Qing saw their expression and immediately understood what it meant, so he smiled faintly and said, "Looking at your expression, do you dislike me as a bandit and are unwilling to be completely loyal to you?"
"The boss's words are serious..." Although he knew that life and death were in charge, Deng Dang did not explicitly deny Pei Qing's words just now, but instead used words like "speaking words" to evade him.
Pei Qing is now even more sure about the other party's thoughts, but he is really reluctant to execute these 300 people, because these are elite soldiers with extremely rich combat experience, which are not comparable to those ordinary bandits under his command. Once recruited, it will definitely greatly enhance its military strength and even drive the overall combat power to improve.
So Pei Qing became unprecedentedly patient and said to Deng Dang and the others: "Although my current identity is a bandit, this does not mean that I have always been a bandit. I can guarantee that within a month, I will become an EC (that is, the meaning of the recommended person is different from the EC under the imperial examination system). It will not even take long to become an official in the court. By that time, these brothers under my command will become officers and soldiers. As long as I have an official status, do you think I cannot be a prefect with these thousands of brothers? Maybe I will become a vassal and dominate the other side in the future?"
Deng Dang thought for a while, and then said, "Just because of this great leader who has a brave general like Leader Yin, it is not impossible to dominate the country in the future. However, the first step is to become a Juren. It is not a villain who is a little unbelievable. The identity of Juren is not easy to obtain, unless you join a person like Yuan Shu or Dong Zhuo, and neither Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shu are definitely not the object of our loyalty."
"You really don't believe me. No wonder I am a mere bandit, how can I become a magistrate of the court? But sometimes the development of things is not something you can decide whether you believe it or not. I won't force you. We can make an agreement between us. If I can become a juren within a month, you will swear to be loyal to me and you will not be allowed to turn to others in this life. If we do not get the official identity, I will not only forgive your lives, but also send you out of the country with gifts. How about it?"
"This is true? There is absolutely no problem. As long as the boss can become a juren within a month, we will definitely swear to be loyal to you and guarantee that we will not commit to a second person in this life, including the prince Sun Ce. And within this month, we can temporarily rely on the boss. If it is a war, we can also serve you. However, after a month, if the boss is still white, please allow us to leave." Deng Dang did not expect that Pei Qing would take the initiative to propose such conditions, and he was immediately happy and immediately made a promise to Pei Qing.
"I wonder if you can represent all of them?" Although Deng Dang is the leader of this group of people, his attitude may not necessarily represent all of them, so naturally there will be such a question.
All of the people under my command spoke, "Don't worry, the leader Deng's meaning is what we mean, and we will never be vague."
"Yes, the boss gave us such an opportunity. If we are ungrateful, will we still be human?"
"It's the ultimate, the master, don't worry, as long as the master can become a juren, we won't leave at that time..."
"This is what you said. Everyone present is witness. Since that's the case, you will be our customers from now on." Pei Qing looked at Deng Dang and others, and laughed and ordered Yin Kaishan, "Kaishan, loosen their ties."
"No." Although the combat power of these 300 people is very considerable, since they fought with Deng Dang, Yin Kaishan has already known how powerful his combat power is. In addition, there are also powerful generals such as Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and the Great Head in the parable. Even if these 300 people really cause trouble, they don't care at all, so Yin Kaishan ordered people to untie Yin Kaishan and the others without hesitation.
Then Pei Qing smiled and said, "It seems that you have regained your confidence in this battle, otherwise you wouldn't have loosened your ties for them without hesitation. Okay, now you are back, hurry up and follow the Second Head and the Third Head and the others to choose the surrendered troops. You are now both generals, and you must integrate the team as soon as possible, because we will face a new war soon."
"Okay, don't worry, we will live up to our high expectations and quickly integrate the team to make them initially take shape so that they can welcome the next battle!" Whether it was Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and Yin Kaishan, they were all full of joy and promised Pei Qing in unison.
Pei Qing nodded after hearing this, then thought for a while and said, "In order to avoid disputes and conflicts, I will divide the prisoners into three equal parts. Each of you will randomly select a part and select sergeants from it, so you must not cross the line."
"Ah? Three, three parts? Then, what about you, the boss?" After hearing Pei Qing's words, Zhou Cang and Yin Kaishan both looked surprised and asked Pei Qing.
"Me? I have them, and they will all be my personal soldiers in the future." Pei Qing pointed to Deng Dang's 300 people, Xie Bogao, who had just been promoted to the captain of the personal soldiers, and the 100 personal soldiers who had selected Xie Bogao, and said with a smile.
"Yes, but they haven't..."
