Pei Xiaogong's name, of course, Qin Xiu had heard of it, and no one with a little knowledge in the Tang Dynasty would be ignorant of the Pei family.

The reason is that compared to General Hei Yu, the town general, Pei Xiaogong, not only had a higher status, but also had a better reputation.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Taizu built the Heavenly Pavilion in his palace to commemorate and honor his military and civil ministers who followed him to conquer the world.

These sixteen ministers were called the Sixteen Gods by Emperor Taizu, who jokingly referred to them as the stars that had descended from the nine heavens to help him achieve great things.

However, the founding of the Tang Dynasty was a difficult and bloodstained affair, and half of the sixteen generals died before the construction of the Heavenly Pavilion, leaving half of them to be deposed or executed.

The Heavenly Pavilion has since been in the successive emperors, but also will be the civil and military ministers of the dynasty to establish a miraculous achievements painted into the Heavenly Pavilion, but to enter the Heavenly Pavilion, if not established a world of miraculous achievements, ineligible to enter, so although there have been a number of civil and military generals were invited into the Pavilion, but very few, and later into the Pavilion of civil and military generals is far from the fame of the sixteen gods and goddesses, so now the Heavenly Pavilion, although there are dozens of civil and military generals in which, but the world mentioned the Heavenly Pavilion, can only think of the sixteen gods and goddesses.

The Tang Dynasty lasted for more than two hundred years, and among the descendants of the Sixteen Generals, the only one still known to the world today is the Duke of Yu's direct descendant, Pei Xiaogong.

The Pei family is the only family of military honors that has been standing in the court since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The ancestors of the Pei family were bestowed the title of Duke of Yu, which was passed down from generation to generation, but except for the first and second generations of Duke Yu, the descendants were all mediocre, enjoying the shade of their ancestors and the glory and wealth of their ancestors, but they did not have the talent to be the only one.

Even in Pei Xiaogong's father's generation, although he inherited the title of Duke of Yu, he only held the title of General Xuanwei in the army, but he had no real power in his hands, and he never made any outstanding achievements.

In the first dynasty of De Zong, the empire was vast and did not have much use of troops, so Pei Xiaogong followed his father in the army and did not have many opportunities to make achievements.

The sage named Taishi Hong as the general marshal of the army and led the troops to quell the rebellion.

The rebellion was led by Muyong Changdu in the south, and Tai Shihong led his troops south to resist Muyong's army, but the court deployed the troops and the Prime Minister recommended General Xuanwei, who had no real power, to lead the troops to quell the rebellion in Qingzhou.

Many people thought that the Prime Minister was a nepotist and that General Xuan Wei was a mediocre general, and everyone thought that General Xuan Wei could not be a great leader.

While General Xuan Wei was recovering from his injuries, his son Pei Xiaogong immediately took charge of the army in his father's stead, and with Pei Xiaogong in charge, the Tang army won a series of victories and beat the Qingzhou army back.

In the decisive battle, Pei Xiaogong deployed two lines of troops, with General Xuanwei leading the frontal stalemate with Qingzhou's army, and General Xuanwei leading the frontal stalemate with Qingzhou's army.

Pei Xiaogong ordered his troops to attack the granary of Qingzhou army and cut off the logistics of Qingzhou army with one fire, while he led another army to ambush the reinforcements led by Qingzhou's assassin himself.

He not only defeated the Qingzhou army, but also captured the assassin of Qingzhou alive. Pei Xiaogong deserves the greatest credit for the success of the Tang army in conquering Qingzhou, and we can see the valor of the ancestor of the Pei family from him.

Later, Pei reported to the Tang army that supported the rebels in Yunzhou, and eventually pacified Yunzhou as well.

In the biggest rebellion after the sage's ascension to the throne, Pei Xiaogong directly pacified Qingzhou and collaborated with the rebels to annihilate Yunzhou, which made him famous.

In order to cope with the southern border, the empire deployed tens of thousands of troops in the south from Yizhou to the east to Huijun, and Pei Xiaogong was personally responsible for the deployment of troops and horses in the south, and the imperial court decreed that Pei Xiaogong should be named the Great General of the country, which was the general of the empire, overseeing the military affairs in the south.

When Qin Xiling was in Xiling, he naturally had great respect for the reputation of General Hei Yu, but he also heard people mentioning General Pei Xiaogong.

Pei Xiaogong was already in his early thirties when he was in charge of the south, and had been stable as a mountain for more than ten years, but now he is not even fifty years old.

He was not even aware of the fact that Dao Summers would have such a plan.

"This official knows that you have doubts in your mind as to why you are not allowed to go to the north." Dou Zhan sighed, "Actually, it's for the greater good. General Hei Yu was killed in Xiling, and this matter is already known to the whole world, and the four northern border armies are naturally furious when they know about this, especially the Warfield border army, who are all General Hei Yu's old troops.

"My lord, it's only natural to go out to the border to quell the rebellion." Han Yu Nong straightened his body.

Dou Zhan smiled, "Of course, I know that the imperial court has actually started deploying to go out to the gates to quell the rebellion. However, we have also received military reports that Fan Ziqi's rebellion was well planned and prepared. After they took control of Xiling, they recruited a large number of soldiers and horses to strengthen the city's defenses, so they were well prepared to deal with the siege. In addition, we have also received reports that there is a strong possibility that Xiling is in collusion with the Woodland Kingdom, and once the imperial court leaves the border, the Woodland Kingdom will naturally send troops to reinforce Xiling."

Han Yunong looked grim, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to stop speaking.

"The matter of swords and soldiers is extraordinary, and if you don't deploy them properly, you naturally cannot use them lightly." Doxasan sighed: "The so-called troops and horses have yet to be moved, but food and fodder first, and if we really want to fight out of the gates, we can't put down the rebellion in three to five months, so of course the imperial court should prepare sufficient money, food and horses, and the Zhongshu Province should not make any rash moves without thorough preparation. The imperial court plans the big picture, but the border soldiers may not understand the imperial court's painstaking efforts, for this reason, the sage also sent someone to the north, to inform the North General Tai Shi Cunxin, ordering him to make sure to pacify the troops, so that no chaos can arise."

Han Yuynong finally said, "I understand your thoughts, sir. If I were to return to the border town of Warfield at this time, the Warfield soldiers would naturally be more eager to avenge the General's death if they saw me. Moreover, I am a member of the Everlasting Army. The three thousand Everlasting Soldiers were retreating from Xiling to Guannei with the General, and now that the General has been killed, they are very angry.

"You can appreciate my pains, and I am relieved." Dou Zhan lifted his hand and stroked his beard, smiling, "So, for the time being, I have given you the courtesy to go to Guiyang, and I have written a special letter of introduction for you." He took a letter from the dossier and handed it over: "This is a letter written in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs to General Pei, which explains your situation in detail. I know you are determined to return to the border town of Wano, but don't be in a hurry about this matter, you first serve under General Pei, and when the time is ripe, I will transfer you back to the border town of Wano."

"I wonder when your lordship said the time is ripe?" Han Yuynong is too familiar with these patterns, and if he doesn't ask for clarification, no one in the Ministry of Bing will mention the matter of letting him go back to the north, and Dao Sol will probably forget about it in a few days.

Although Han Yuynong was a Black Feather Night Crow, the Black Feather Night Crow was only a close guard at General Black Feather's side, and after Han Yuynong left Warfield Town, he was only a small captain in the Ministry of Officials' files, and according to his rank, he was only a seventh-ranking officer.

A seventh-ranking local official, in the eyes of these adults in Kyoto, is not much different from an ant on the ground.

Han Yunong knows that Doxare has given a bit of face today by calling himself over, otherwise with a transfer order, he, as a soldier of the empire, can only obey the military order and has to go even if he doesn't want to.

But his greatest wish was to one day be able to return to Xiling with the Everlasting Army to avenge the General's death.

Now that he has been transferred to Pei Xiaogong's command, once the Ministry of Military Affairs ignores him, he will probably have to stay in the south, even if the Everlasting Army really has a chance to go out of the border in the future, but he is in the southern legion and can't go out of the border with the army.

And when Dou Zhan sends himself away today, it is almost certain that he will not think about his own business.

Although he knew it was a bit rude to ask his superior directly, he couldn't refrain from asking, and he was willing to wait and wait for the day when he would return to the Everlasting Life Army, as long as Doxasan could really give a time today.

Dou Zhen is obviously a little unhappy with Han Yunong's direct question, but he still smiled faintly and said: "I can't give you the go-ahead on this matter, nor can I give you a definite time. The time is ripe, at least until the imperial court orders the rebellion to be pacified, but it's not up to me to decide when that will be. You should pack up first, it just so happens that someone from the Ministry of Military Affairs is going to Guiyang, and tomorrow you will leave together." Seeing that Han Yunong seemed to be about to say something else, he raised his voice fiercely and said coldly, "Who is on duty today? Why hasn't tea been served yet?"

Soon, tea was served, but only a cup of tea was sent to Dou Zhen, and Dou Zhen obviously didn't want to serve tea to Qin and his friends. It's okay. You can leave now."

Han Yunong looked grave and arched his hands, and when Qin saw that he was leaving, he was about to follow, but Dou Zhan had already called out, "Qin Yunong, wait a moment."

"What does the lord command?" Qin Xun was not pleased with the way Dou Zhan looked at Dou Zhan's villainous display of official authority, and asked indifferently, "I'm going to clean up a bit, and I'll do it with Captain Han tomorrow."

"Who says you're going with him?" Dou Zhen put down his tea cup and said indifferently, "Han Yunong went to serve under General Pei, but I didn't say you were going to General Pei's side as well."
