Chapter 91 Champion General
(I have officially entered V. Muzi, please support and subscribe, thank you!)
Ling Yun was promoted. Before he could be a seventh-rank official, the military officer of the King of Jin's Mansion, had been promoted to him for three months.
The team has been staying in Beizhou for several days, and the large group of people are stationed at Gaojibo Nine-tailed Fox Inn. Wang Rong is now very kind to Ling Yun and others on the surface. He invited Ling Yun and others to live in a large mansion in Zhangnan County several times, but Ling Yun refused because there are too many people. Wang Rong is very tactful, so he greets him with a smile and everyone is harmonious. But this does not mean that he really regards Wang Rong as a friend. Ling Yun has always been displeased with the family slaves like Wang Rong who relies on people. Moreover, Gaojibo is indeed a good scenery. Although the Nine-tailed Fox Inn is rough and simple, it is still quiet and fresh.
The weather is in early summer, and the days are getting hotter day by day. The slurry has been replaced with thin shirts. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang and Xu Shiji are even wearing a pair of pants, who have just been to Lingyun's name. These days, eight righteous brothers run to Gaojipo together, take off all their clothes in the water and jump down to catch shrimps. They are so wild. Xu Gai talked to Lingyun a few times, but Ling Yun didn't care about these things. They were all naive and loved to play, so there was no reason to restrain them too much. Ling Yun took them to practice martial arts and horse riding every morning, then went to class in the afternoon, and checked homework in the evening. He was too lazy to care about them at other times. Moreover, Ling Yun also liked the fish and shrimps touched by Gaojipo, pure natural game. With Huo's hand, Lingyun liked the cooking skills that Lingyun liked, and added some of the nine-tailed self-made pear brewing. Combined with the natural feeling of Gaojipo, it was really comfortable.
Dou Jiande, Hao Xiaode, Wei Zheng, Sun Anzu, Liu Heita, Wang Fubao, Zhang Jin said that there were also people from Hebei, such as Su Yong, who went home to settle the house in the past few days. It has been agreed that after they returned, they would no longer stay in various places after they set off in Zhangnan and go directly to the terminal station to go north. In addition, Ling Yun simply gave the entourage guards a few days off. Except for some people who were left on the turn, other people who were on leave could go to Zhangnan, Wucheng, Qinghe and other places to enjoy.
However, starting yesterday, Ling Yun also canceled the leave order, allowing all guards to stay in the camp even if they are not on duty, so that everyone will not go out at will.
Starting from the past two days, the atmosphere in Hebei has become a little nervous. There was a very happy atmosphere everywhere, but with a group of cavalry sailing by lightning a few days ago, the court orders were sent by various prefectures and counties in Hebei. Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, Liaodong, attacked the Khitan not long ago. One of the tribes retreated to the territory of Yingzhou, the Sui Dynasty on the west bank of the Liao River. Gao Yuan asked the Sui army to hand over these Khitans to them. This unreasonable request was rejected by the Yingzhou General Manager. The Khitan, the former dependent tribe of Goguryeo, had already been attached to the Great Sui Dynasty many years ago. The previous action of Goguryeo attacking the Khitan tribe was already rude to the Great Sui Tianwei. Now that he still made such a rampant request, how could Wei Chong agree?
After Gao Yuan was rejected, he did not give up. Instead, he directly led 10,000 elite cavalry to attack the Liaohe River. Wei Chong led his army to fight. The two sides fought a big battle on the west bank of the Liaohe River. In the end, the two armies were almost both injured, and each suffered countless soldiers and generals. Gao Yuan only led more than a thousand cavalry to retreat across the Liaohe River and return to the east bank. Wei Chong's situation was not optimistic. Although he defeated Gao Yuan, most of the troops in the Yingzhou General Administration were lost. If it were not for the Khitans to help the battle, it would be difficult to predict who would win or lose. In order to prevent most of the attacks that Gao Yuan might come at any time, Wei Chong, the general manager of Yingzhou, urgently asked the court for help. In fact, the Liaodong incident was as expected by the court, and there would be a war sooner or later, and the court had long been discussing this matter. Now that the war has finally begun, the court has also obtained a legitimate reason to send troops. However, the fierceness of the Goguryeo people still surprised the court. Wei Chong is a child of the Wei Xiaokuan family. He was born in the army in his early years and had pacified many barbarians in the southwest. He had made great achievements and suffered a great loss at the hands of the Goguryeo people. It was indeed an accident.
The imperial court was very quick, and the edict to attack Liaodong was issued quickly, and the conscript was issued by the mobilization order of the government army and the civil servants. The 300,000 eastern expedition troops basically summoned the government army from Hebei and Henan, and even the civil servants and auxiliary soldiers were also summoned in these two places. In Beizhou, officials were recruiting the government army and young civil servants overnight. Sending troops to fight may be an opportunity for those officers, but for ordinary people, going to fight was the most fearful thing. The entire Beizhou was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and even walking in the neighborhood alleys, you could hear the crying from the house from time to time.
At this time, Ling Yun tried his best to restrain the people below, so as not to cause any trouble in such a tense atmosphere.
Zhang Ganxiong, the Zhang family in Wucheng, came to meet twice before Ling Yun came to visit him. Zhang Ganxiong and Ling Yun were both officials of the seven ministers of the Jin Palace, but they had never met before. However, Zhang Ganwei's letter was recommended by the middle, so he naturally became familiar with each other. Zhang Ganxiong came here several times, just talking about the romantic relationship, not about anything else, and never mentioned the matter between the King of Jin and the King of Jin Palace. However, Ling Yun saw Zhang Ganxiong's appearance and knew that he knew that he knew the father-son relationship between him and Yang Guang. He also knew that he knew very clearly that his elder brother had entrusted his illegitimate son to Ling Yun. Ling Yun proposed to Zhang Ganxiong to use the Zhang family connection to help find Ji Yao, and he agreed very happily.
Zhang Ganxiong was a little too close to Ling Yun, which made him not very understanding. After all, he was just Yang Guang's illegitimate son. An illegitimate son of a vassal king was actually nothing to a top wealthy family like the Zhang family.
After several meetings, Wei Zheng, who had just returned from Julu, pointed out the key point. After all, Wei Zheng was also a wealthy family in Hebei, but the Wei family was slightly worse than the Zhang family. If the Li Mu family in Guanzhong was a top family, then the Cui family in Qinghe should be a first-class genius, and the Zhang family was originally a first-class genius, but after all, the Guandong genius has been suppressed by the Guanlong Group, and it is not like the Cui family who has a woman who has become a queen, so after entering the Sui Dynasty, it has been After falling to the second-rate gentry, as for the Wei family in Julu, they can only be considered third-rate gentry. A powerful man like Su Yong can only be ranked as fourth-rate. According to Wei Zheng's analysis, this is actually due to the competition between the Zhang family and the Cui family. Although Qinghe County is gone, there are two super wealthy families in this small area, Cui family and Zhang family. In the past few hundred years, the two major families have had many open and secret struggles. Until now, the Cui family has a relationship with the queen, which obviously suppressed the Zhang family.
"Cui is supporting the prince!" Wei Zheng said in one sentence.
"The Zhang family does not have a backer like the queen, but they don't want to decline from now on, and they don't want to be suppressed by Cui all the time, so they are also betting. The Cui family supports the prince, and the Zhang family fully supports the King of Jin." Ling Yun pinched his chin and sighed unexpectedly: "This is indeed a gamble. The prince is the national crown prince, but the King of Jin is more popular. The Zhang family wants to turn over, so they fully support the King of Jin. The bet is that the King of Jin will ascend the throne in the future. If the bet is made, the Zhang family will be able to step on Cui. This is a dangerous game, but it is also a game with amazing returns."
"So, the Zhang family is so polite to Sanlang because they have invested a lot of money on the side of King Jin. You are the illegitimate son of King Jin. Of course, they will not offend you easily. On the contrary, they will only work hard to make friends with you. What's more, you are not only the illegitimate son of King Jin, but you are also the new leader of the Yanshan Tiger Alliance. You are also the new head of the Gao family. These two forces have great influence in Hebei. Even if you can establish a relationship with you, they can benefit a lot."
"You mean, the Zhang family also wants to interfere in the smuggling business?"
Wei Zheng smiled: "Intervene? In fact, how many people from the world's great merchants are not from those big families?"
Ling Yun thought of Wuxing Shen in Jiangnan and couldn't help but smile. Indeed, the profit of smuggling was huge. This was a huge cake. If Zhang had the chance to get a share, there was no reason to give up.
After thinking through this, Ling Yun became eager for Zhang Ganxiong. The Zhang family in Qinghe, even if they are now a second-rate family, still has a huge influence. It is not a bad thing to make friends with such a wealthy family and benefit each other.
Just as day by day passed, seeing Dou Jiande, Su Yong and others returning to Gaojipo Nine-tailed Fox Shop, Pei Li suddenly brought a team of people to see him.
The leader was a young man, who looked about thirty years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, revealing the smell of a playboy. He had never seen him, but when he heard Pei Li's name when he introduced him, he couldn't help but chuckled.
"This is the eldest son of the Shouzhou General Yu Wenshu, who is the chief of Shouzhou, and is now walking in front of the tent of King Jin and serving as the Grand Governor of Kuzhen. Governor Yuwen is on the order of King Jin and goes north, and the King of Jin has written letters to the military commander." Pei Li introduced.
Although Ling Yun had never seen Yu Wenji, his reputation for Yu Wenji was the most thunderous. This guy, a very playboy, had already gained the reputation of being a flirtatious young man in Daxing early on. He was full of wine, sex, wealth and power, but he really had a good skin, very tall and handsome. He really had some momentum when he stood there, especially the status of the Yuwen family.
When Yu Wenhui saw Ling Yun, he had no nostrils to look at others. He opposed his familiar appearance. It seemed that he knew very well that Ling Yun was the illegitimate son of King Jin, and now he was highly valued by Yang Guang. Or, before coming, his son Yuwen Shu had told him to establish a good relationship with Ling Yun.
"Congratulations to Sanlang, the King of Jin asked someone to come, because he wanted someone to send Sanlang the official letter to the promotion to Sanlang."
Ling Yun was slightly surprised. He had just left Yangzhou for more than a month and was still halfway through, so why did Yang Guang promote him again?
Standing down, standing with his hands down, Ling Yun listened to Yu Wenhua and a vibrant voice reading.
He finished his recitation soon. Ling Yun was indeed promoted. Ling Yun was originally a military officer in the King of Jin's Mansion, and was from the seventh rank. Now Ling Yun has a new position, champion general, and has also been promoted to the Third Office of the King of Jin's Mansion, and his original position is still in the army.
"Congratulations to Sanlang, I have just been in the seventh-rank Jin Wangfu military service for more than a month. In a blink of an eye, I have been promoted to the third sect of Yitong, who is on the fifth-rank. Brother, I will carefully calculate it. Oh, this is a seventh level in a row, which is amazing. Your Highness King Jin really values me very much, and it really makes me envious."
Ling Yun smiled, "I can't compare with Mr. Yuwen. The Yuwen family has a noble family. I remember that when General Yuwen was in charge of Jiangnan to suppress the rebellion, his majesty gave me a gift to him to worship a son as Kaifu. That was almost nine years ago. At that time, Mr. Yuwen was only young, but he was already the fourth-rank Kaifu Yitong Sansi."
Yu Wenhua laughed a lot. The Sui Dynasty inherited from Wei and Zhou. Although the official system was reformed after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, many systems still inherited the Wei and Zhou. For example, the titles of heroes were very common, and they were often dukes and counties. Sometimes a war was fought. Those generals not only had their own titles, but even their own sons could also be granted the titles of county dukes. Yang Jian was like this back then. When Yang Jian was fifteen years old, he was awarded the title of Sanqi Chang, General of the Cheqi, General of the Cheqi, and Sansi, and was granted the title of Ji County Duke. For many ordinary children, it was already a great opportunity to be able to become an official in their lifetime, but for these noble children, many times, were only a few years old in their teens and had already been granted the title of Duke and Marquis. Like the Li Mu family, Yang Jian was once granted the title of Duke and Marquis by all the children of Duke and Marquis by Yang Jian.
"Champion General, Yi Tong Sansi." After taking the initiative, Ling Yun did not have any too many surprises when he looked at these two new official positions.
"Enjoyed Father, you are already the champion general, are you the general? I heard from my mother that there is a man named Huo Qubing in her ancestor, who is the champion general." Li Wenxiang asked excitedly.
Ling Yun replied with a smile: "The General Huo Qubing of Emperor Wu of Han was indeed a young hero, but he was the General of the Cavalry, and was named the Marquis of the Champion, and was appointed as the Grand Sima."
"Which is the champion Hou or the champion general?" Li Wenxiang had heard his mother tell the story of Huo Qubing countless times before. When he heard that his adoptive father's new official title champion general was similar to champion Hou, he was very excited and curious.
Ling Yun shook his head. The name of the champion general sounded very cool, but in fact, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many official positions were called quite cool, but in fact they were not very powerful. For example, the three military positions in the army at this time were louder than the other, but in fact they were only in charge of fifty people, one hundred people and two hundred people.
The champion general is similar to this. The official positions of the Sui Dynasty were actually a bit chaotic. It was inherited from the Zhou and Wei dynasties, especially the military positions, including scattered officials, honorary officials, titles, posts, and even additional officials. The Sui Dynasty is now in the military system of the Guards, and naturally there is a complete set of military positions in the Guards, from the governors, generals of the commander, generals of the commander, generals of the commander, generals of the commander, generals of the commander, generals of the commander, generals of the commander, generals of the commander, generals of the commander, generals of the cavalry, generals of the cavalry, and higher generals of the Huya, generals of the Hub-Ben, and then to the top-level generals of the twelve guards and generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, generals of the twelve guards, general
But in fact, in addition to this set of military positions, there are two sets of official names, one is the honorary officials and the eleventh grade, the highest is the Shangzhu Kingdom, and the lowest three are the governors, the commander-in-chief and the Grand Governor. Ling Yun's new Yitong Third Division ranked fourth from the bottom, and the fifth rank is the top. The honorary officials are generally rewarded with military merits and are awarded to those brave soldiers who fight.
In addition to military positions and honorary officials, there is also a set of official positions, namely the 34th general, from the sixth rank to the ninth rank, which is more similar to the military rank. Ling Yun's newly won champion general is from the sixth rank. The same level is the general of the auxiliary state, and the upper level is the Siping, the front and back, these six general names. The lowest name of this set of casual generals is the minor general, the lowest name is the minor general, the highest is the Yijun and the Yishi General.
The 34th scattered generals have very good names, but in fact they are all miscellaneous generals. If they do not have actual military positions, these are at most empty names that serve as military ranks.
Neither the honorary official nor the scattered general had any substantial duties. After all, these two new official positions only added several levels of title to Ling Yun, and they could only receive more salary when they received their salary.
