"General?"

There was a buzz of discussion.

After two victories in the conversion and the siege of Xiongzhou, Wu Ji made great contributions, and if there was no Wu Ji, Xiongzhou would have been captured by Liao. Wu Ji's promotion to the rank of general is an inevitable thing, but no one thought that Wu Ji would be promoted to general.

The battalion commander, who is equivalent to a battalion and regiment-level officer, is still far away from the general, which is really amazing news.

"Congratulations to General Wu!"

A congratulatory sound sounded, which was particularly comfortable. Especially the converted army, they are the happiest, Wu Ji has become a general, and they will have a better life in the future. Not to mention that Wu Ji has a set of wars, but the fact that he does not deduct military salaries is enough to make the converted army love him. With such a person, there will definitely be a bright future, who is not happy?

Wu Ji was also surprised, he didn't expect that he would be promoted several levels in a row and enter the ranks of generals directly. If it is divided according to the current military rank, the battalion commander is just a lieutenant, and how many colonels are at the top. There are three or four levels away from the general, and I jumped up all of a sudden, which is really unexpected.

"Let's go, go to the city first, and then come to announce the decree!" Wang Shao casually patted Wu Ji on the shoulder twice, Wu Ji felt as if he was smashing with a sledgehammer, this Wang Shao had a lot of strength.

"Wang Shumi, please!" Wu Ji took a step back and wanted to follow behind Wang Shao, but he pulled Wang Shao to his side and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, don't be restrained by these false courtesies." Come, let us go into the city together. ”

Wu Ji is not a hypocritical person, and entered the city with Wang Shao.

Watching the two of them enter the city side by side, Zhou Wei and the others were full of admiration in their eyes, it was already rare to be called a brother by Wang Shao, let alone enter the city side by side with Wang Shao, Zhou Wei had never seen it, and his eyes almost hit the ground.

In the eyes of the converts, it was a great thing for the minister to treat Wu Ji so well, and everyone was overjoyed. If there was no Wu Ji, the conversion would have been slaughtered by the flowing wind long ago, not to mention, under the leadership of Wu Ji, the converted army and the people have made great contributions. In the eyes of the converted soldiers and civilians, Wu Ji is already a god-like existence, and the more Wu Ji is valued, the more joyful it is for them.

The happiest are Wu Qing and Yang Xiuxiu. For Wu Qing, Wu Ji is a talent in Wujiazhuang and a big man in Wujiazhuang, and he has brought earth-shaking changes to Wujiazhuang. Wujiazhuang was originally a small mountain village, and it was tired all year round, but it was just a mix of food and clothing. Nowadays, the people of Wujiazhuang are all "well-off", and they are much better than before.

This is a major event of the glory of the ancestors, as Wu Ji's uncle, he feels that there is light.

For Yang Xiuxiu, the more her husband is promising, the more proud she is, her pretty eyes are full of stars, and her face is full of joy, like a magpie, and she is almost singing.

As soon as he entered the Conversion City, Wang Shao looked at it and was shocked: "It's really hard!" With 500 converts, twice defeated the Liaogou who attacked the converts, the first time was 2,000 people, and the second time was 5,000 people, it was not easy, it was not easy, it was not easy. ”

He is a famous general, a famous general who has fought in real battles, and he is well versed in the military road, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to achieve such a record with a mere 500 troops, and the dilapidated city of conversion is the best proof of this.

"What's even more rare is that you actually led 3,000 converts to relieve the siege of Xiongzhou." Wang Shao sighed with emotion: "Don't say that there are 3,000 miscellaneous troops, in that case, it is me, and I may not be able to relieve the siege of Xiongzhou without 350,000 troops." ”

Xiongzhou lost two-thirds, only one-third remained, which was too great a blow to the morale of the military morale of the military and civilians in Xiongzhou, and if they wanted to break the siege, they would not want to do it without tens of thousands of troops. And Wu Ji completed it with only 3,000 people, which is really a miracle. Not to mention, these 3,000 people are still a ragtag army composed of men and women.

"Wang Shumi's award is just lucky." Wu Ji said humbly.

"Brother Wu, called Brother Wang. Don't call it very privy, it sounds awkward. Wang Shao's eyes rolled, and the essence of light burst out, and a pair of eyes were as bright as the fierce screams above the nine heavens.

"Brother Xie." Wu Ji likes Wang Shao's straight surname very much, and admires his famous temperament, and he is not hypocritical.

When he came to the county office, Mrs. Zheng ordered the incense case. The incense case was arranged, and Mrs. Zheng led the soldiers and civilians to kneel down, ready to receive the order.

Wang Shao stood in front of the incense case and unfolded the holy decree and recited it. This holy decree was written by Song Shenzong and is unique through the ages. The reason why it is called a unique one through the ages is not that its writing is gorgeous and can be an exemplary article, but that it has too much content, and it has written three whole pieces of imperial silk.

The most written in the holy decree is the words of praise, Song Shenzong's writing is good, a gorgeous beautiful words, Wu Ji praised the gods, read the military book at a young age, deeply understand the military road, have the talent of Sun Wu, expect the enemy to be the first, the famous generals of the previous dynasty Li Jing and Guo Ziyi and others can not pass, and the current dynasty Pan Mei, Yang Ye, and Cao Bin are also inferior; Familiar with the sayings of a hundred schools, the four books and five classics are not a problem, and the ingenuity is even more proficient, which is unparalleled in the world...... A word of praise, how good it sounds, how to praise, Wang Shao is throat, read it in a low voice, read it with joy, and shake his head, quite a bit of Kong Yiji's charm. His voice was already very loud, and this deliberate proclamation was like thunder, buzzing, as if someone would not hear it.

"Am I that good?" Wu Ji listened to the long holy decree, the more he listened, the more confused he became, and secretly changed his mind: "I bought "The Art of War" in my last life, but I only read three pages, and I have never read a military book again. If I find out earlier, I will be a soldier, and maybe I can become a general. ”

"Four Books and Five Classics? I haven't read it at all, that kind of antique, how many modern people are reading it? Yes, yes, definitely not me. When Wu Ji heard the Four Books and Five Classics, his thoughts turned faster, and he almost laughed out loud. In modern society, Sage Kong has become the second child, called Kong Laoer, the guy below.

This holy decree is very long, and it takes a lot of time to read the three imperial silks, and Mrs. Zheng is secretly frightened: "What kind of holy decree is this?" Historically, a holy decree is enough! The holy decree full of three pieces of imperial silk has not been written in this dynasty. I haven't heard of it in the previous dynasty, it seems that since Qin Shi Huang, there has never been such a holy decree, and the official family is so happy! ”

Wang Shao didn't read until his mouth was dry, and then he got to the point, Wu Ji made such a great contribution, and promoted Wu Ji to the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion and the commander of the Zhigui Xinjun.

"Buzz!"

As soon as the words of promotion came out, there was a buzzing sound, as if it had been fried, and the converted soldiers and civilians exclaimed in surprise.

The most surprised was Mrs. Zheng, who knew these words best.

This reward is one false and one real, first of all. The actual job is to know that the return to the faith army is the commander, and this sentence means that the conversion has been upgraded and promoted to the return to the faith army.

In the Song Dynasty, the military, prefecture, prison, and government were the same administrative units, with the same powers, and there was no distinction between upper and lower levels, and some were only the size of the jurisdiction. In today's terms, Guixin County has been upgraded to a city, and it has been upgraded by one level.

If this level is set up because of administrative divisions, it will not be surprising at all, but because of the great victory of the convert, because of Wu Ji, which is equivalent to this promotion because of Wu Ji alone, which has not been done in the history of the Song Dynasty, who can not be surprised?

The commanders can command five battalions of men and horses, that is, 2,500 people, which means that Wu Ji can command five times more soldiers and horses. The battalion, which was the most important establishment unit in the Song Dynasty, had already entered the ranks of generals, and Wu Ji jumped several levels.

What's more, this word "knows". The officials of the Song Dynasty were divided into local officials and central officials. The central officials sent to the localities are divided into two levels: the knowledge is low and the knowledge is high. A knowing word made Wu Ji squeeze into the ranks of senior central officials of the Great Song Dynasty, which is already rare.

Know, generally used for the feudal officials, although Wu Ji is a lot of meritorious service, there is still a lot of distance from the feudal officials, but Song Shenzong gave him a knowing word, so that his identity is completely different from the general commander of the same level, which shows the longevity of the saint.

This is not the most surprising, the most surprising thing is the title of "Longtu Pavilion Bachelor".

In the Song Dynasty system, after the death of each emperor, a pavilion must be built to enshrine the cultural relics left behind. The pavilion built in the Northern Song Dynasty has Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, Baowen Pavilion, Xianmo Pavilion, Huiyou Pavilion and Fuwen Pavilion.

The Longtu Pavilion contains "the imperial books of Taizong, the imperial collection of texts and classics, pictures, Baorui's things, and the books and genealogies entered by Zongzheng Temple", and its status is very high.

Longtu Pavilion is divided into four categories: bachelors, straight bachelors, pending systems, and straight pavilions, and Wu Ji, the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, belongs to the lowest level in Longtu Pavilion. However, even if the officials who have made greater contributions than Wu Ji do not have this honor, it is impossible for them to become a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, which shows that Song Shenzong attaches great importance to him.

Song Dynasty officials attached special importance to job titles. Those who enter the pavilion must be from a jinshi background, "once they have this position, they will become celebrities". Officials with a title are entitled to some special treatment.

Wu Ji is a talent and is not qualified for this title, Song Shenzong awarded Wu Ji a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, which is equivalent to giving Wu Ji the birth of Jinshi, and he is a disciple of the Son of Heaven.

Just this title is enough to make countless people blush, even if they are from Jinshi, they do not have Wu Ji's glory. It is glorious to pass the Jinshi examination, but which one is more glorious than the emperor's gift? Self-explanatory.

"The protégé of the Son of Heaven!" Mrs. Zheng was amazed, with a look of admiration on her face. There are not many people who can enter the Dragon Diagram Pavilion in the entire Song Shenzong Dynasty, and Wu Ji is one of the lucky few.

From now on, Wu Ji is the protégé of the Son of Heaven, and the official is one level higher, no matter how big your official position is, who dares to offend the protégé of the Son of Heaven?

"Congratulations to Commander Wu Du!" A sound of surprise and congratulations sounded, and the soldiers and civilians who converted to the faith all smiled, and their mouths were closed, as if it was not Wu Ji who was rewarded, but themselves.

"Commander Wu Du, congratulations!" Mrs. Zheng, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao were busy congratulating.

"Ahem!" Wang Shao saw it in his eyes, coughed and said: "Your congratulatory words are not surprising, you listen well, let me say a word of congratulations." ”

He was playful, and everyone laughed, looked at him, and pricked up their ears to hear what kind of congratulatory words he could say. I saw Wang Shao walk up to Wu Ji, hand the holy decree in his hand to Wu Ji, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, you have to take this holy decree!" Let me tell you, there has never been a holy decree and three imperial silks in the past! This is a strange decree through the ages, and it must be put away! ”
