"This is not because the general of the Mok did not want to serve the imperial court, but my envoy just ordered the general to come here to support the general, so the general can also see that the more than a thousand men brought by the general were actually only old, weak, sick and disabled. There are no more warriors under Pei Taishou's command. Moreover, since the general of the Mok brought them back, he naturally had to bring them back safely. Fighting with the Xiliang army with these few people was simply hitting a stone with an egg. If these people had any accidents because of the general, the envoy Tao would definitely blame the general."

Although Zang Ba was very envious of Pei Qing for seizing this opportunity and that he would definitely get rich returns once he succeeded in the future, he also knew that Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian was very nice to him. If he left the old master like this, he would still feel a little disgusted.

So Zang Ba used such words to swear.

Zhu Jun tried his best to win over Pei Qing before, but in fact he was just for Zang Ba to see. After all, in his opinion, Zang Ba is a veteran on the battlefield. Whether it is commanding and combat skills or experience, it is definitely not comparable to Pei Qing, a young man who has just debuted.

However, he did not expect that Zang Ba would refuse in this way, which left him with no words to continue to try to keep Zang Ba.

At this time, Pei Qing said seriously: "General Xuangao, I don't agree with your idea. Envoy Tao is indeed kind to you, and no one will deny this. However, the general is not only the general of Envoy Tao, but also the minister of the emperor. If you are in trouble today, as ministers, we should serve the country loyally and relieve the difficulties of the court. What's more, this time we are just a big momentum. Generally, we rarely participate in wars directly, and the chance of encountering danger is not high. On the other hand, if General Xuan Gao wants to serve the envoy Tao, it is now right now, because General Xuan Gao can say that this time the action was ordered by the envoy Tao. In this way, the court will count on the envoy Tao. The general won the reputation of loyalty to the envoy Tao with his own behavior, and could make him reward for his merits. Isn’t this the best way to repay the envoy Tao? Why do you want to refuse and waste a good opportunity in vain?”

"This..." Zang Ba was immediately moved when he heard Pei Qing's words, because Pei Qing's words made sense, were very dangerous, and could get a lot of rewards. Everyone would be moved by it.

At this time, Zhu Jun also hurriedly said, "Xuan Gao, Yuan Qing's virtuous nephew is right. I know you are loyal for Tao Gongzu. This time, as long as you are willing to go to Chang'an, I will definitely ask for merit from the court. Even Xuan Gao, you will definitely be rewarded by the court for this matter. Young people, don't hesitate. A man, a real man, walk in this world, who doesn't want to win a wife and a son and leave a name in history? Xuan Gao, don't worry, as long as you agree, once I leave, my other half of my private soldiers will be handed over to you to command, and the position of command will be given to you. Don't worry, as long as you go, you will definitely gain both fame and fortune because of this move."

However, after Zhu Jun's words, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the three generals under Pei Qing. They looked at Zang Ba one by one with dissatisfaction and disdain. They really couldn't figure out why the head of their family didn't object to such an obvious discriminatory decision?

Zang Ba certainly saw the reactions of the three generals, so he quickly said humbly: "Pei Envoy is the prefect of a county, and his elite soldiers and powerful generals under his command will definitely be able to serve as the commander. The last general is just a brave man. He is not good at placing troops and setting up formations. It is better to let the prefect Pei be the commander, and the last general is willing to attach himself to the tail of the horse."

However, Pei Qing understood the other party's thoughts. He had to take responsibility as the commander of the first army. It was a pleasure to win, but he had to take responsibility if he lost. Even if he finally won, if he caused significant losses to Zhu Jun's private soldiers in the process, it would definitely cause Zhu Jun's unhappiness. At that time, the credit he received would probably be made small and small.

What's more, Zhu Jun's command is all elites in a hundred battles. If Zhu Jun personally commanded them, they would definitely obey them. But if it were Zang Ba and Pei Qing, could they be the same as they could instruct these people?

Therefore, Zang Ba repeatedly refused the position of the commander, for fear that he would get involved.

Zhu Jun frowned when he saw this scene. He originally wanted Zang Ba as the commander, but Zang Ba refused to accept it. He was afraid that the persuasion would be counterproductive. At that time, Zang Ba would not only disagree, but would lead the army back directly because of this. Then his words would be in vain.

So Zhu Jun looked at Pei Qing and said with a embarrassed look: "Nephew, look at this..."

Zhu Jun's meaning was to ask Pei Qing to persuade Zang Ba again, but unexpectedly Pei Qing seemed to be incomprehensible and said directly: "Since General Xuan Gao is unwilling to accept it, Zhu Cheqi has high hopes, then the general will be disrespectful. After you leave, the position of commander will be temporarily replaced by the general."

"Ah? This guy is really a bit arrogant..."

"Okay, this is what everyone hopes for."

After Pei Qing finished saying this, the personnel in the tent were divided into two factions, with two expressions on his face. Of course, Zhu Jun and his generals were not optimistic about Pei Qing. In their opinion, Pei Qing was really arrogant enough to do so, and he didn't even understand humility.

Those who are optimistic about Pei Qing are the three generals and Zang Ba under Pei Qing. Of course, Zang Ba’s so-called optimistic is actually just verbal. In his heart, he secretly mocked Pei Qing for being a naughty young man, and he agreed without even thinking about it.

However, Pei Qing had his own plans, so he pretended to look at Zhu Jun with a discomfort and asked in confusion: "Is Zhu Cheqi worried about the last general, afraid that I will take away your army? Since that's the case, it's better if the last general of the commander do not do it. The food and grass have been delivered. The last general will return to Yingchuan and wait for an opportunity to act, and may not be at the right time to serve the court."

Zhu Jun was amused and laughed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Pei Qing would become serious and he would not worry about the robbery of the army, because these five thousand people were only loyal to him and would never be able to return to Pei Qing. However, he also knew that once Pei Qing left, Zang Ba would definitely not stay, and none of his five thousand private soldiers had the ability to be the commander. At that time, the five thousand people would be in chaos first and would not be able to provide any help to his plan to enter the capital.

"Anyway, this matter is still uncertain. Even if it is certain, it is better to have a commander than not. It is better to just let him go. I, Zhu Junzheng, fought and did not train a qualified successor. It is really sad."
