Chapter 59: Zhu Jun's Decision

"It's true that this time the officials only brought 500 personal soldiers and also brought thousands of stones of grain to reward the army." Pei Qing did not hide it and told the truth directly to Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun's face became gloomy again, and he said in anger: "You only bring such a little force to come here. Are you here to make excuses for me?"

"Why should the general be angry? Let's listen to the words of the minister. There is a reason why the officials brought these soldiers to come. First of all, my Yingchuan is a place for four battles, and my troops are already short of strength. At the same time, I have to guard against the invasion of bandits from all directions. So there is no way for the officials to do this. Our uprising soldiers and supporting the court is not the most fundamental purpose of ensuring the safety of the people?"

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable," Zhu Jun's face improved a little, but then he said: "However, Dong Zhuo plunders the emperor and was cruel and unruly. As long as he was in one day, the world would not be peaceful. This was also because of this, so I gathered the righteous army here, and at the same time summoned the loyal and righteous people of the world to attack Dong Zhuo, welcome the emperor back, and reassurance the world. So relatively speaking, this matter is more urgent. This is not the gains and losses of one state and one county, but the safety of the whole world. It is precisely because of this that all the loyal and righteous people of the world are all coming, but it is a bit unhelpful for you, you only bring such a little force. In fact, you are not the prefect of Yingchuan, and Yingchuan's defense has nothing to do with you. You can concentrate more of the army here. As long as you drive away Dong Zhuo and make great contributions to the court, the rewards you will receive will be more than the chief of this county."

However, Pei Qing said seriously: "Zhu Cheqi, please forgive me for not agreeing with your words. The so-called "prosperity of the people is the foundation of the world. Those who win the hearts of the people will lose the hearts of the people. Even though I am the prefect of Nanyang, I cannot watch the people of Yingchuan worry all day long and live a life of no protection. Since Nanyang now has its own system, I don't mind temporarily governing Yingchuan, surviving the people, and building the hearts of the people in the court. This is not only to serve the court's kindness, but also to win the favor of the people for the court. The meaning of it is to give the slightest response to the court. It is no less than to attack Dong Zhuo. Otherwise, we will win against Dong Zhuo, but we will lose the people's hearts. I am afraid that the Yellow Turban riot will repeat itself. What's more, the current situation of our army is not as good as Zhu Cheqi said? At the beginning, the heroes gathered together in Kanto, and the final challenge of Dong was only a slight start. Now our army is scarcely soldiers, and all the two Yuans are not there. General Sun died in battle. Even Chenliu and Zhang Miao, who are close to me, and Cao Cao of Dongjun, are not there. I wonder how confident Zhu Cheqi can defeat Dong Zhuo?"

Pei Qing's words were merciless, but Zhu Jun was not angry, but said: "No matter what the outcome is, we must do our best to serve the court. Everyone, this is not a place to speak, so let's talk to my account."

From the beginning of meeting Zhu Jun, Pei Qing was not allowed to enter the camp to speak. However, Pei Qing was not unhappy at all. Instead, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because this meant that his previous words had worked and Zhu Jun had accepted him.

Although he was not afraid, Pei Qing was unwilling to have a conflict with Zhu Jun directly, so he led his army to come. Since he had arrived, of course he hoped that Zhu Jun could accept him. The purpose of the first step has been achieved. Although he also knew that it was not difficult for him to do this step, he was still very happy to do it seriously.

After arriving in the tent, Zhu Jun looked at the three personal soldiers standing behind Pei Qing and said in surprise: "These three heroes are of extraordinary demeanor, probably the warriors under Taishou Pei. I really didn't expect that Taishou Pei could actually win such a hero. It's really admirable. If there are such a hero under Taishou Pei, are you still worried that you can't defeat Dong Zhuo?"

Pei Qing bowed and said, "Why should the general ask him knowingly? When the Kwantung coalition forces were attacking Dong Zhuo, there were also first-class generals such as Sun Wentai, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide, Xiahou Yuanrang, and Xiahou Miaocai, but they were also unable to do anything to Dong Zhuo. If the warriors in the world, how many people could be Lu Bu's opponents? But then again, the reason why the Xiaguan came here this time was just to show that he would respect the general's orders. As for the matter of attacking Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was in fact, and there was no need for us to attack. The Xiaguan was sure that Dong Zhuo would die within a month. The Xiaguan was actually just worried that although Dong Zhuo died, the world was still in turmoil."

"Well? The two people named Xiahou you mentioned should be Cao Mengde's brothers? Although I have never seen or heard of it, I also know that the generals under Cao Mengde's command will not be too bad. But who are Guan Yunchang and Zhang Yide? Why haven't I heard of these two characters? Also, you just concluded that Dong Zhuo would die. What is the basis for this? You said that if Dong Zhuo dies, the world will fall into chaos again. What is the basis for this?"

Zhu Jun had many questions about Pei Qing’s statement just now, and he couldn’t help it, so he said it in one breath.

Pei Qing was confused after hearing this and thought silently: "This Zhu Jun doesn't even know who Guan Yu and Zhang Fei is? When the three heroes at Hulao Pass fought against Lu Bu, Guan and Zhang should have been famous all over the world. What's going on? Is this legendary story actually fake? After I go back, I must take a good look at the Three Kingdoms or the Book of Later Han to avoid cognitive mistakes about some things."

However, Pei Qing could only answer: "The Guan Yunchang, named Yu, Hedong native, Zhang Yide and Fei, and Zhuo County people are all generals of Liu Bei, the prime minister of Pingyuan. The subordinates once met one after another. Both of them were extremely brave, and it would not be too much to say that they were enemies of ten thousand people. As for Dong Zhuo, rumors about him are now everywhere, especially the Thousand Mile Grass He Qingqing, who can't live in ten days. Needless to say, I heard that he actually threw his halberd at his brave general Lu Bu for a small matter, and threatened to kill the other party. In this way, as long as those who are interested in tempting him with this, Lu Bu will rebel. At that time, as long as Lu Buli cooperates with others, Dong Zhuo will die without a place to die. It is not difficult for Dong Zhuo to fall into chaos later. There are many soldiers in Xiliang, and if one is not properly treated, it will immediately trigger their rebellion. At that time, it is natural that the world will fall into war again."

Zhu Jun immediately fell into deep thought after hearing Pei Qing's words. He is now not allowed to think about who Liu Bei is, how Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are. What he cares most about now is the situation in Chang'an. Once Dong Zhuo dies, the world will fall into turmoil again.

"But why is it wrong? Everyone knows the reason why we should only ask the evil spirits and not the threats?" Zhu Jun still didn't understand why Pei Qing said that, because no matter who he was, as long as he could instigate Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, it was enough to prove that he was a smart person. How could such a smart person not understand the reason why he only asked the evil spirits and never asked? So generally speaking, money fell down and scattered. As long as Dong Zhuo died, the Western Liang army would be over.

Pei Qing shook his head and said, "This may not be necessary. For example, that person is strong-willed and may not let Dong Zhuo go to Li Jue Guo Si, the general under Dong Zhuo. This will inevitably arouse Li Jue Guo Si's rebellion..."

"You mean, Wang Situ? Indeed, this person is like a fire. If he is allowed to control the situation in Chang'an, he will do such a thing. Your analysis is very reasonable. No, I must go to Chang'an as soon as possible. Wang Situ is like a fire and is very stubborn. Only I can persuade him to change his mind. Pei Taishou, if what you said is true, then you are the hero who saves my great man in one sentence."

After Zhu Jun finished speaking, he sent an order to send elite spies to Chang'an to investigate the news. As long as he got the accurate news, he would go to Chang'an immediately, trying to turn the tide with his own strength and support the building to the fall of the building.
