Chapter 24: The Engagement with Dundown
"Amon? How do you know him? When Deng Dang heard Lu Meng's name, he suddenly felt very strange, he really didn't understand how Pei Qing knew such a child?
As soon as Pei Qing heard this, he immediately knew that it was bad, Lu Meng was just a child after all, and he really had no reason to know, but this also couldn't help him, he just thought about it for a while, and said serious nonsense: "It's not a secret, I once saw him when I was a traveling merchant, and I saw that although he was young, he had a strange bones, and he would be a generation of generals in the future, and now when I heard you suddenly mention your fiancée's surname Lu, I thought of him, and tried to ask, but I didn't expect it to be him." ”
"Amon? Will he be a generation? Deng Dang listened in disbelief.
However, Pei Qing did not speak, but smiled mysteriously.
Lu Meng's problem is actually easy to fool, but the most important thing at the moment is to subdue Deng Dang, because subduing Deng Dang means being able to subdue Lu Meng, which is one of the famous four British generals of Eastern Wu!
So Pei Qing opened his mouth and said: "It's not difficult for you to live, but I ask you to swear allegiance to me from now on, and you can only be loyal to me, if you can do it, I will not only spare you from dying, but also reuse you, and in the future, your status will definitely be much higher than that of Sun Wentai's personal soldiers." ”
Deng Dang's face showed hesitation, although he was forced to surrender to Pei Qing due to the situation, but in his heart he did not intend to be loyal to him, after all, Pei Qing was just a thief in terms of identity, what future could he have if he defected to him? The best way is to temporarily attach themselves to him, and then leave when the opportunity is right, for them, defecting to the prince Sun Ce is of course the best choice, because they believe that Sun Ce is definitely not a person who has lived in the world for a long time, and he may not be able to break away from Yuan Shu and stand on his own one day in the future.
When Pei Qing saw their expressions, he immediately understood what they meant, so he smiled lightly: "Looking at your expression, do you dislike that I was born as a thief and are unwilling to be completely loyal?" ”
"The words of the big boss are serious...... Although he knew that life and death were in the hands of others, Deng Dang did not clearly deny Pei Qing's words just now, but used words like "words are serious" to prevaricate himself.
Pei Qing is now more sure of the other party's thoughts, but he is really reluctant to put these three hundred people to death, because these are three hundred elite soldiers with extremely rich combat experience, which is not at all comparable to those ordinary bandits under his command.
So Pei Qing became unprecedentedly patient, and said to Deng Dang and them: "Although my current identity is a thief, but this does not mean that I have always been a thief, I dare to guarantee that within a month, I will become a person (that is, the meaning of the person who is recommended is different from the meaning of the person under the imperial examination system), and even after a short time, I will officially become an official of the imperial court, and at that time, these brothers under my command will become officers and soldiers, as long as I have an official identity, do you think I rely on these thousands of brothers, Can't you mix with an official who is too stabbing to death? Maybe in the future, he will become a prince of one side and dominate one side? ”
Deng Dang thought for a while, and then said: "With a brave general like Leader Yin under the command of this big boss, it is not impossible to dominate one side in the future, but this first step is to become a lifter, not a villain who is a little unbelieving, and the identity of a lifter is not easy to get, unless you defect to a figure like Yuan Shu or Dong Zhuo, and neither Dong Zhuo nor Yuan Shu is definitely not the object of our allegiance." ”
"You really don't believe me, it's no wonder, I'm a mere thief, how can I become an official of the imperial court? But sometimes the development of things is not something you don't believe in can decide, so let's not force you, we can make an agreement, if I can become a lifter within a month, you will swear allegiance to me, and you will not be allowed to switch to others in this life, if we don't get official status, I will not only spare your lives, but also send you out of the country, how about it? ”
"This, it's true? There is absolutely no problem, as long as the big boss can become a person within a month, we will definitely swear allegiance to you and promise that we will not vote for a second person in this life, including Gongsun Ce. And within this month, we can temporarily attach ourselves to the big boss, and if it's a war, we can also work for you, but after a month, if the big boss is still white, please allow us to leave. Deng Dang really didn't expect Pei Qing to take the initiative to put forward such a condition, and he was immediately full of joy and immediately made a guarantee to Pei Qing.
"I wonder if you can speak for all of them?" Although Deng Dang is the leader of this group, his attitude does not necessarily represent everyone's attitude, so it is natural to ask such a question.
I saw that all these people under his command spoke one after another: "The rest assured of the big boss is that what Leader Deng means is what we mean, and there is no ambiguity." ”
"Yes, the big boss gave us such an opportunity, if we don't know what to do, are we still people?"
"It's extreme, don't worry, as long as the big boss can become a lifter, we won't leave when the time comes......"
"That's what you said, everyone here is a witness, and since that's the case, then you will be guests of our cottage from now on." Pei Qing looked at Deng Dang and the others, laughed and instructed Yin Kaishan: "Open the mountain, loosen the tie for them." ”
"No." Although the combat power of these three hundred people is very impressive, since he fought with Deng Dang, Yin Kaishan already knows how powerful his combat power is. In addition, there are still fierce generals such as Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and the big boss in the cottage, and they don't care at all even if these three hundred people really make trouble, so Yin Kaishan didn't hesitate to order people to loosen their ties for Yin Kaishan.
Then I saw Pei Qing smile and said: "Kaishan, it seems that you have really regained your confidence in this battle, otherwise you would not have loosened the tie for them so unhesitatingly, okay, now that you are also back, hurry up and follow the second and third masters to choose and surrender the troops together, you are all generals now, and you must integrate the team as soon as possible, because we will soon face a new big war." ”
"No, rest assured, we will live up to our high expectations and quickly integrate the team and let them take shape in order to meet the next battle!" Whether it was Pei Yuanshao or Zhou Cang and Yin Kaishan, they were all full of joy, and they assured Pei Qing with a brush.
Pei Qing nodded after hearing this, then thought about it and said: "In order to avoid disputes and contradictions, I will divide the captives into three equal parts, and each of you will randomly select a part and select a sergeant from it, and you will not cross the line." ”
"Huh? Three, three parts? So, what about you, the big boss? After listening to Pei Qing's words, Zhou Cang and Yin Kaishan were all surprised, and asked Pei Qing.
"Me? I have them, and they will all be my own soldiers in the future. Pei Qing pointed to Deng Dang's three hundred and Xie Bogao, who had just been promoted to the captain of the pro-soldiers, and the hundred pro-soldiers that Xie Bogao had already selected, and said with a smile.
"But, but they haven't ...... yet"
"You haven't completely surrendered to me yet, have you? It's nothing, and I promise they'll be following me in a month's time. Pei Qing smiled faintly and said with confidence.
