Chapter 999 – What a Complicated Circle
As his father and brother were both working in the Great Xia military, Pei Xingjian did not even hesitate and directly came to Shanhai City to reunite with his family.
He was from the Middle Juan Pei of the Pei clan of Hedong. General Su Dingfang saw potential in Xingjian and personally mentored him. He had worked under Cao Can, and he was the aide of the Xizhou Governor General and became the General of the Anxi Protectorate.
Pei Xinjian was appointed the minister of rituals and great general of the right flank guards. In 679, Turkic chieftain Ashide Wenfu rebelled. Protectorate general Xiao Siye, a noble from Lanling Commandery, was defeated by Ashide. Pei Xinjian then took over the command from Xiao and decisively won a battle against the Turks in an ambush.
