Chapter 741: Waiting for the military exercise, we will not let Tianhezhou lose too badly
When Qiao Jianer heard the word "bet", he became interested.
She also learned that in every year's combat drills, Tianhe Province always lost, and lost miserably.
Therefore, the morale of the army here is low.
The atmosphere has improved a lot recently, simply because she used her own personal funds to support the troops, which boosted everyone's spirits.
After being beaten for so many years, how could it be easy to train the army here?
When Pei Qingrong heard this, a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat suddenly surged up in her.
"You are talking nonsense. The past is the past, and the present is the present. The garrison troops of Tianhe Province are in the hands of the princess and me. It is impossible for the situation to be the same as before."
Qiu Dezhong had a half-smile on his face. "General Pei is really confident. So, the bet is done. How about we make a bet? If the Tianhe State garrison loses, then both sides must admit in front of each other that this place will never be as good as Longzhou and will always be defeated by Longzhou."
"What if Longzhou loses?" Qiao Jianer said lightly.
The two brothers obviously didn't think that Longzhou would lose this question, and they were stunned for a moment.
Then Qiu Deyi laughed: "Forget it, forget it. If Longzhou loses, not only will we have to bow down to the soldiers of Tianhezhou, but it will also prove that leaving us brothers was the most foolish choice. Princess Zhenguo and General Pei can mock us all they want."
"But this situation is basically impossible."
"Uncle is very skilled in both leading troops in battle and training them. This is a skill accumulated over many years. Such a huge gap cannot be closed in a short period of time."
Qiu Dezhong continued, "During every military exercise, the troops from Tianhe Prefecture can't last more than an incense stick. If they were put on the battlefield, they would only be defeated."
They secretly felt lucky that a female commander had come, giving them an excuse to leave.
No matter how strong Pei Qingrong is, it is unrealistic to train a mediocre army in such a short time. Even with the help of the Princess Zhenguo, it is powerless to save the situation.
Qiao Jian'er took a good look at them. "Even if you're not satisfied here, you've been here for years. Are you going to be so sarcastic towards your former subordinates and brothers before you leave? Isn't that a bit unkind and unjust?"
Both of them choked.
Qiu Dezhong turned his face away. "Although we all serve the Daze Kingdom, once we arrive in Longzhou, we are its generals. People compete with each other, and the same is true between armies. The Zhenguo Princess blames us for being ruthless, but from another perspective, isn't it also because the Tianhe Kingdom's army is not doing its job well?"
"You deserve credit for your part. When you were here, you didn't have the strength to train the army. Now you're leaving. It was the Princess Zhenguo who fulfilled your wish. Not only are you not grateful, you're even retaliating. You're really a bad person."
Seeing the two people's unreserved expressions, Pei Qingrong's brows flickered with disgust.
People like this should get out of here right away. Even if they stay, they will just cause trouble for her every day and be too aggressive.
Qiu Deyi bowed to Qiao Jianer and said, "We are naturally grateful to the Princess Zhenguo. When the two armies compete and practice, we will instruct our subordinates to show mercy and ensure that Tianhe Province does not suffer a heavy loss. This is our repayment."
His words were full of arrogance.
Qiao Jian'er's face was calm. She didn't want to waste her time on arguments. What was the point of winning? She had to show her real skills on the school training ground.
"Go ahead, and good luck to you two."
The two of them didn't want to continue arguing, lest the relationship worsen. After all, the Princess Zhenguo was the Princess Zhenguo, equivalent to the emperor's adopted daughter. If she wanted to frame them or simply not let them go, they would not be able to win.
So, it’s time to quit while you’re ahead. Anyway, everything I wanted to say has been said.
The two felt a spiritual victory and felt relaxed all over.
When it comes to exercises and competitions, Tianhe Province is bound to lose. They just said it in advance.
They took the transfer order, strode forward, and left without looking back.
When they met Liang Heda and Huo Liao coming from the opposite direction, they both patted each other on the shoulders with deep sympathy.
"Brother, being a general is the same no matter where you are. At least here, you have increased the monthly salary, which is a good thing. We are about to leave, and I would like to trouble you two to take good care of the soldiers under us."
"In this year's military exercises, don't be polite to Longzhou. Just show your true abilities."
Hearing the sense of superiority in the brothers' words, both of them felt a little uncomfortable.
It seems that if he is transferred to Longzhou, he will be successful.
Although the conditions there are much better than here and the army has always been relatively strong, they have also served as generals in Tianhe Province for many years. Now, in the blink of an eye, they are about to step on this place, and there is a faint sense of villainy.
They even doubted whether the two brothers were sincere in their previous claims that they were brothers and that they would not leave Tianhe Province for their sake.
Liang Heda looked impatient, but Huo Liao maintained the most basic politeness.
"With the Princess Zhenguo supervising the training, and Commander Pei being no mediocre man, morale is definitely higher now than before. We will do our best."
Qiu Dezhong twitched the corner of his mouth, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, but he said nothing and waved goodbye.
The two looked at the brothers leaving with complicated expressions.
"Brother Huo, I just realized that the Qiu brothers have always disliked this place. They used the fact that Commander Pei is a woman as an excuse. In reality, they didn't want to stay here for a long time."
At the beginning, he was also very prejudiced, but he was a person who respected facts. At least until now, there was nothing wrong with General Pei. Instead, he rectified the atmosphere and quickly got the training back on track. In this case, they, as subordinates, just had to obey orders.
Huo Liao: "Everyone has their own ambitions, let them be. Seeing Commander Pei's vigorous training, coupled with the improvement of various conditions, I always have a feeling that the garrison troops in Tianhe Province will get better and better."
In the camp, Pei Qingrong took a deep breath.
"Jian'er, I will definitely train the troops well. We will not lose to Longzhou in the contest three months from now. These are two resounding slaps in the face from me to Brother Qiu Dezhong."
"Second sister-in-law, well done! This is exactly the kind of ambition we need." Qiao Jian'er praised, "Just focus on training and achieve the highest efficiency possible. Another point is to boost the army's confidence. In the past, we've always been defeated against Longzhou, and this has psychologically hindered the soldiers."
"Okay, I understand."
The Qiu brothers went to Longzhou to complete the handover, and General Li and General Wei also came with their trusted troops.
The two generals looked gloomy and frustrated.
