After Deng Dang and Zheng Chang announced their allegiance, Pei Qing first changed their names to them according to the convention, gave them the name "Boyan" of Deng Dangbiao, and changed his name to Zheng En. He then ordered Zheng En to be appointed Sima of the Right Army. Deng Dang's other troops, so that they could lead these 300 soldiers. At the same time, they would recruit two thousand prisoners of the Yellow Turban bandits in the mountain village to form an army they directly led.

As long as the army is formed, it will naturally be natural to make achievements in the future.

However, Deng Dang and Zheng Chang both refused Pei Qing's kindness in unison, and kept saying that they only wanted to be the personal soldiers around Pei Qing and did not want to be the general alone.

Although Pei Qing tried hard to persuade them, seeing that they insisted on doing so, they could only help them. So he adjusted his central army and appointed Xie Yingdeng as the former Sima of the Central Army, Deng Dang as the rear Sima of the Central Army, and Zheng Chang as the left Sima of the Central Army. At the same time, he ordered three personal generals to recruit prisoners and form an army of 1,000. At the same time, he ordered Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and Yin Kaishan to expand their recruitment and expand the number of soldiers under his command to three thousand.

In this way, the three combat troops had a total of 9,000 people, and together with Pei Qing's central army, the total number of troops quickly expanded to 12,000.

Of course, this does not mean that Pei Qing's clan only has these prisoners, and some old and weak people. Pei Qing gave them two ways: one is to stay in the clan, pay taxes in the future, and live a good life after farming, and the other is to leave the clan directly and make a living by himself.

These people had no family and could not go back to the village. Of course, they chose to stay in the village to farm, so they asked to stay.

Pei Qing was naturally very happy about this, because one more person means he can get one more tax, which will make more contributions to his rise.

Deng Dang left early the next morning, and his army was led by Pei Qing himself. Pei Qing then led his personal army to carry out extremely strict and special training.

These three thousand people took the 100 guards of Sanbai Yicong and Xie Yingdeng as their backbone. Except for a very few people who were eliminated because they could not bear it, everyone else gritted their teeth and persevered. In less than half a month, these three thousand people actually had the atmosphere of elite soldiers.

On this day, Pei Qing was personally guiding the soldiers to train on the training ground, but when Yin Kaishan came to him, he said to him: "Ming Gong, the last time you came to proclaim the edict, your family came again, and he was holding the edict in his hand. It seemed that Duke Ming, you are going to be an official."

"Oh? Mr. Wenxing? He is finally here. Come and welcome him together." Pei Qing was unable to adapt to calling his ancestor's name until now, so he still called him "Mr. Wenxing". When he heard that Pei Qian was coming, he knew that the moment he was looking forward to was finally coming, and he was still very excited and hurriedly led everyone to greet him.

After a while, Pei Qing led Tang De, Xie Lingyun and others to the gate of the village, bowed to Pei Qian and said, "Mr. Wenxing is coming, my village is full of glory, please come in quickly."

This time Pei Qian's attitude was not as arrogant as the first time. Instead, he smiled and joined hands with Pei Qing into the Juyi Hall.

After the two of them sat down, Pei Qing ordered people to treat him with water and wine. Pei Qian did not go around in circles. After a few words, he suddenly stood up, holding the edict in his hand, and said with a shameless look: "Qian is actually guilty of the gentleman this time, but he has to come. Qian was entrusted by the emperor and his father to examine his talent and knowledge for the gentleman. He was very happy. He thought that his gentleman could be entrusted with important tasks, but he did not know that Dong Zhuo made a mistake. His military advisor Li Ru was even more insidious and cunning. He actually......"

Pei Qing felt a chill when he heard this. Didn’t he be appointed to an official position? If this is the case, it would be difficult for him and his subordinates to whitewash. By then, the major forces around him could launch a legitimate attack on his team. The most important thing is that now is the period of rapid development of all forces. When he finally gets the official position, it is estimated that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others will have already gained a foothold. In that case, it will be too difficult for him to develop.

However, Pei Qing also knew that Pei Qian could not make any decision on this matter, so he had to comfort him: "Sir, don't be so frustrated. If there is no official position, there will be no official position. It seems that Pei's talent is not enough. Next, Pei should be more committed to learning. I believe that as long as you accumulate enough, it will definitely attract the attention of the emperor."

In fact, even though he said this, Pei Qing had already made up his mind in his heart. If it really didn't work, he would lead the team to find a weak place, forcibly occupy the counties, accumulate strength, create a fait accompli, force the court to recognize his identity, or lead the crowd to surrender to a certain major force, and quietly develop his own strength under the cover of this major force.

"No matter what, living people cannot be suffocated to death by urine. Now this place seems to have room for development, but after a few years, there will be no place to stand. I can't watch myself sleeping to death here, right?"

However, just when Pei Qing was thinking about this, he saw Pei Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, things are not that bad. Dong Zhuo gave Mr. Wang an official position and was preparing to appoint Mr. Wang as the prefect of Nanyang and the thief lieutenant. Although this position looks very good, the actual controller of Nanyang is the latter general Yuan Shu. He would never give Nanyang to Mr. Wang. Instead, he would lead the crowd to drive away your prefect. On the other hand, even if Mr. Wang could occupy Nanyang, it would have nothing to do with Dong Zhuo and others' guards.

In the case of the security, no matter what, it is just a sentence from Li Ru. Mr. is now the mortal enemy of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu of the four generations and three masters in Runan, his disciples and former officials are all over the world, and even Dong Zhuo is quite afraid of it. Although your strength is strong, it is probably difficult to deal with. So I think it is better to go with me to meet Liu Jingzhou with you. With Mr. Your talent, you will definitely be appointed. But in this way, your subordinates may have to hand over it. I don’t know if you are willing to give up..."

Pei Qing felt relieved when he heard this. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is not a question of whether he is willing to let go. The key is that although Liu Jingsheng looks very energetic and owns the seven counties of Jingzhou, this person's talent is just like this. It has to be said that if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, he will definitely have the talent of the Three Dukes, but he is definitely not the talent of the overlord. He thinks he is King Wen of Zhou. Once there is a change, this person will be unresolved and will not be able to achieve any climate. Not only will he not be able to accomplish anything, but it is even difficult to protect himself. If that is the case, why should I give up on the near and far? It would be better to develop myself in Nanyang."

Pei Qian listened to this and thought for a moment, then said, "What Duke Yuan Qing said is not without reason, but Yuan Shu is very good at military strength and food. It is probably extremely difficult to just seize Nanyang. I wonder if Duke Yuan Qing has a solution?"

Pei Qing said casually: "Although Yuan Shu is entrenched in Nanyang, the conflict with Liu Biao is also very deep. I believe that in not long, under the attack of Liu Biao, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu will be forced to give up Nanyang. At that time, I will be able to take advantage of the situation. Then I just need to express my respect to Liu Biao and gain a foothold in Nanyang. So although Yuan Shu is strong, what are you afraid of?"
