Ling Yun was promoted, and Yang Guang added him to the rank of a seven-rank official before he joined the army for three months.

The team has been staying in Beizhou for several days, and the team is stationed at the Nine-Tailed Fox Inn in Gaojibo, Wang Rong and Ling Yun are now very harmonious on the surface, and he invited Ling Yun and others to live in the mansion in Zhangnan County several times, but Ling Yun refused because of the inconvenience of many people. Wang Rong is very knowledgeable, so he greeted him with a smile, and everyone was harmonious. But this does not mean that he really regards Wang Rong as a friend. For a domestic slave like Wang Rong, Ling Yun has always disliked it. Moreover, the scenery of Gaojibo is indeed good, and although the Nine-Tailed Fox Inn is rough and simple, it is quiet and fresh.

The weather entered early summer, and the days began to heat up day by day, and the jacket had been changed into a thin shirt, Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong, Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang and Xu Shiji, five guys, and even Cheng Mingzhen, Li Wenxiang, and Wu Guang, who had just worshiped Lingyun's name, were almost wearing the same pair of pants. Xu Gai told Ling Yun a few times, but Ling Yun didn't care about this, they were all innocent and fun-loving at the age, so there was no reason to restrain them too much. Ling Yun took them to practice martial arts and horseback riding every morning, then went to class in the afternoon, checked their homework in the evening, and the rest of the time, he was too lazy to care about them. Moreover, Ling Yun also likes the fish and shrimp touched in this high chicken bo, pure natural game, and Huo Shi's cooking skills that Ling Yun likes. Add some pear stuffed by the Nine Tails to match the natural feeling of this high chicken. It's really pleasant.

Dou Jiande, Hao Xiaode, Wei Zheng, Sun Anzu, Liu Heimin, Wang Fubao, Zhang Jincheng and Su Yong, these Hebei people, have also gone home to settle down in the past few days. It has been said that after they are settled and come back, Zhangnan will no longer stop in various places after their journey, and go directly to the terminal station in the north. In addition, Ling Yun also simply gave those entourage guards a few days off, except for some people who were on duty, other people who were on leave could go to Zhangnan or Wucheng, Qinghe and other places to have fun.

However, since yesterday, Ling Yun has also canceled the order to take a vacation, and asked all the guards to stay in the camp even if they are not on duty. Let everyone not go out at will.

Since the beginning of the past two days, the atmosphere in Hebei has become somewhat tense. Originally, there was still a very happy atmosphere in various places, but after a team of letter riders galloped a few days ago, the orders of the imperial court had already been passed down from the prefectures and counties of Hebei. When Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo in eastern Liaodong, had recently attacked the Khitans, one of the tribes had retreated to the territory of the Sui Dynasty's Yingzhou on the west bank of the Liao River, and Gao Yuan demanded that the Sui army hand over these Khitans to them. This unreasonable request was rejected by the governor of Yingzhou, and the Khitan, a dependent tribe of the original Goguryeo, had already been attached to the Great Sui many years ago. The previous Goguryeo attack on the Khitan tribe was already rude to the Great Sui Tianwei. Now that such a rampant request is being made, how could Wei Chong agree.

After Gao Yuan was rejected, he did not give up, but directly led 10,000 elite cavalry to attack the Liao River. Wei Chong led his army to meet the battle. The two sides fought a big battle on the west bank of the Liao River, and in the end, the two armies were almost defeated, and each suffered countless losses. Gao Yuan only led more than 1,000 horsemen to retreat across the Liao River and return to the east bank. And the situation on Wei Chong's side was not optimistic, although he repelled Gao Yuan. Most of the soldiers and horses of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion were lost, if it weren't for the Khitans to help in the war. It's hard to know who will win and who will lose. In order to prevent Gao Yuan's attack at any time, Wei Chong, the governor of Yingzhou, urgently asked the imperial court for help. The matter of Liaodong was actually expected by the imperial court, and there would be a war sooner or later, and the imperial court was already discussing this matter. Now that the war has finally begun, the imperial court has also been given a legitimate reason to send troops. However, the fierceness of the Goguryeo people still surprised the imperial court a little. Wei Chong is a son of Wei Xiaokuan's family, born in the army in his early years, and has pacified many barbarians in the southwest, with great military achievements, and he actually suffered a big loss at the hands of the Goguryeo people, which is really unexpected.

The imperial court moved quickly, and the edict of the crusade against Liaodong was soon issued, followed by the mobilization order of the government army and the conscription order of the people. The 300,000 troops of the Eastern Expedition were basically recruited from Hebei and Henan, and the auxiliary soldiers of the people were also recruited from these two places. Here in Beizhou, it was also full of government conscripts and young and strong men overnight. Sending troops to fight may be an opportunity for those officers, but for ordinary people, going to war is the most daunting thing. There was an atmosphere of solemnity everywhere in the whole of Beizhou, and even walking in the neighborhoods and alleys, you could hear the crying coming from the house from time to time.

At this time, Ling Yun also tried his best to restrain the people below, so as not to cause anything in such a tense atmosphere.

Zhang Qianxiong of the Zhangjia family in Wucheng did not wait for Ling Yun to officially come to visit, but took the initiative to come over to meet twice. Zhang Qianxiong and Ling Yun were both officials of the Seven Cao of the Jin Palace, but they had never met before. However, with Zhang Qianwei's letter in the middle of the recommendation, he is naturally familiar with it. Zhang Qianxiong came over several times, but he only talked about some ups and downs, and did not talk about anything else, and never mentioned the affairs of King Jin and King Jin's mansion. However, Ling Yun looked at Zhang Qianxiong's appearance and knew that he was aware of the father-son relationship between himself and Yang Guang. also knew that he knew very well that his eldest brother entrusted his illegitimate son to Ling Yun. Ling Yun proposed to Zhang Qianxiong to use Zhang's family connections to help find Ji Yao, but he happily agreed.

Zhang Qianxiong's attitude towards Ling Yun was a little too close, which made him a little incomprehensible, after all, he was just Yang Guang's illegitimate son, and the illegitimate son of a vassal king was actually nothing to a top wealthy family like the Zhang family.

After a few meetings, Wei Zheng, who had just returned from Julu, pointed out the key to it, after all, Wei Zheng was also from a wealthy family in Hebei, but the Wei family was slightly worse than the Zhang family. If the Li Mu family in Guanzhong is a top-level gatekeeper, then the Cui family in Qinghe should be a first-class scholar clan, and the Zhang family was originally a first-class scholar clan, but after all, now the Guandong clan is suppressed by the Guanlong group, and it is not as strong as the Cui clan that has a woman to become the queen, so after entering the Sui Dynasty, it has fallen to the second-rate clan, and as for the Julu Wei family, it can only be regarded as a third-rate clan. A strong man like Su Yong can only be listed as fourth-rate. According to Wei Zheng's analysis, in fact, this is due to the competition between the Zhang family and the Cui family. Qinghe County is gone. But in this small place, there are two super wealthy families, the Cui family and the Zhang family. For hundreds of years. The two major families have been fighting openly and secretly, until now. The Cui family has a relationship with the queen, and it is obvious that the Zhang family is suppressed.

"The Cui family supports the crown prince!" Wei Zheng broke through the mystery in one word.

"The Zhang family doesn't have a backer like the queen, but they don't want to decline from now on, let alone be pressed by the Cui family all the time, so they are also gambling that the Cui family supports the prince, and the Zhang family fully supports the King of Jin." Ling Yun pinched his chin and sighed with some surprise: "This is indeed a big gamble, the crown prince is the crown prince." But the King of Jin is more popular, and the Zhang family wants to turn over, so they fully support the King of Jin, betting that the King of Jin will be able to ascend the throne in the future. If the bet wins, Zhang will be able to trample Cui's feet. It's a dangerous game, but it's also a game that pays off at the same time. ”

"Therefore, the Zhang family is so polite to San Lang because they have invested a lot of money on the side of King Jin, and you are the illegitimate son of King Jin. Of course, they will not offend you lightly, on the contrary, they will only try to befriend you. What's more, you are not just the illegitimate son of King Jin. You are still the new leader of the Yanshan Tiger Alliance, or the new head of the Gao family, these two forces. In Hebei, it has a great influence. Even. If you can build a good relationship with you, it will also benefit them a lot. ”

"You mean. The Zhang family also wants to meddle in the smuggling business? ”

Wei Zheng smiled: "Meddle? In fact, how many of the world's big businessmen are not from those big families? ”

Ling Yun thought of the Wuxing Shen clan in Jiangnan, and couldn't help but smile. Indeed, the profits from smuggling are huge, this is a huge cake, and if the Zhang family has the opportunity to get a share, there is no reason to give it up.

Thinking about this, Ling Yun was also eager for Zhang Qianxiong. The Qinghe Zhang family, even if it is now a second-rate family, still has a huge influence. It's not a bad thing to make friends with such a wealthy family and benefit each other.

Just as the days passed, seeing that Dou Jiande, Su Yong and others had also returned to the Gaojibo Nine-Tailed Fox Store one after another, Pei Li suddenly came to see him with a team of people.

The leader is a young boy, who looks like he is about thirty years old, and he is gorgeously dressed, revealing the smell of a gentleman. He hadn't seen him, but when he heard Pei Li's name when he introduced him, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"This is the eldest son of General Yu Wenshu, the governor of Shouzhou, Yu Wenhua, who is now walking in front of the tent of the King of Jin and is the governor of Kuzhen. The governor of Yuwen went all the way north on the order of the king of Jin, and a letter from the king of Jin was handed over to Yi Bing Cao. Pei Li introduced.

Although Ling Yun has never seen Yu Wenhua, he is the most thunderous to Yu Wenhua's name, this guy is a very gentleman, and he has already made a reputation as a light boy in Daxing. Wine and wealth, everything is stained, but it really has a good skin, very tall, and very handsome, to that station, there is indeed a bit of momentum, especially the status of the Yuwen family.

Yu Wenhua and saw that Ling Yun didn't have any nostrils to look at people, and he objected to a self-familiar look, it seemed that he also knew very well that Ling Yun was the illegitimate son of King Jin, and now he was very valued by Yang Guang. Or, before coming, he Lao Ziyu Wenshu told him to have a good relationship with Ling Yun.

"Congratulations to San Lang, King Jin asked a certain person to come, and he asked a certain person to send an official letter of promotion to San Lang."

Ling Yun was slightly surprised, he had just left Yangzhou for more than a month, and he was still halfway there, why did Yang Guang want to promote him again?

Standing below with his hands down, Ling Yun listened to Yu Wenhua and a majestic voice read out.

Soon finished reading, Ling Yun was indeed promoted, Ling Yun was originally a soldier of the Jin Prince's Mansion Cao joined the army, from the seventh grade. Now Ling Yun has a new position, champion general, and the other is the same as the three divisions, and the original position of Jin Wangfu soldier Cao joined the army unchanged.

"Congratulations to San Lang, from the seventh rank of the Jin Wangfu soldier Cao has just joined the army for more than a month, and in the blink of an eye has been promoted to the third division of the Yitong on the fifth grade, brother, I will calculate carefully, oops, this is a seven-level promotion, amazing. His Royal Highness King Jin really values his brother very much, which really makes him envious. ”

Ling Yun smiled, "A certain can not be compared to Yuwen Gongzi, Yuwen Valve's family background is noble, I want to be the head of Yuwen Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, and his Majesty has given a special gift to worship a son as the opening of the mansion." That was almost nine years ago, and at that time, Prince Yuwen was only a weak crown, but he was already the fourth grade of Kaifu Yi and the third division. ”

Yu Wenhua and a burst of laughter, the Great Sui inherited from Wei Zhou, although the official system was reformed after the establishment of the Sui, but many systems still inherited Wei Zhou. For example, the knighthood of meritorious heroes is very indiscriminate, and it is the prince of the country and the county at every turn, and even sometimes a battle is fought, and those generals not only have their own titles, but even their sons can also be crowned county dukes, Yang Jian was like this back then, when Yang Jian was fifteen years old, because of his father's merits, he was awarded the three divisions of the cavalry guard, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the three divisions of Yitong, and was named the county duke of Chengji. For many ordinary children, it is already impossible to be an official in a lifetime, but for example, these noble children are only a few years old and ten years old, and they already have to be crowned princes. And like the Li Mu family, it was once made by Yang Jian that those who had no titles below the prince of the Manchu family were all ceremonial.

"Champion general, the same as the three divisions." Taking the farewell and looking at the two new official positions, Ling Yun did not have too many surprises.

"Father-in-law, you are already a champion general, are you a general, I heard my mother say that there is a person named Huo Qubing on my ancestor, who is the champion general." Li Wenxiang asked excitedly.

Ling Yun replied with a smile: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the great general Huo Qubing is indeed a young hero, but he is a hussar general, a champion marquis, and worships the great Sima. ”

"Which one is bigger, Champion Hou or Champion General?" Li Wenxiang had heard his mother tell countless stories about Huo Quai, the famous general of the Huo family, and when he heard that his father-in-law's new official position champion general was similar to the champion Hou, he was quite excited and curious.

Ling Yun shook his head, the name of the champion general sounded very popular, but in fact, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, many official names were quite popular, but in fact, they did not have much power. Just like the three military positions of the Grand Governor, the Shuai Governor, and the Metropolitan Governor in the army at this time, each one is louder than the other, but in fact it is only a low-level officer in charge of 50, 100, and 200 people.

The champion general is similar to this, the official position of the Sui Dynasty is actually a little chaotic, inherited from the Zhou and Wei dynasties, especially the military position, scattered officials, honors, titles, officials, and even additional officials, etc., which are very complicated. The Sui Dynasty is now a military system of the Weifu, and naturally there is also a complete set of military positions in the Weifu, from the governor, the commander of the capital, the governor of the capital to the general of the chariot cavalry, the general of the hussars, and the higher general of the Huyalang, the general of the Huben, and then to the top-level of the twelve generals and the twelve generals of the guard, it is a complete set of military positions.

But in fact, in addition to this set of military positions, there are two sets of official names, one is the honorable officer, the eleventh rank of the honored officer, the highest is the Shangzhu State, and the lowest three are the governor, the commander and the governor. Lingyun's newly acquired Yitong is ranked fourth from the bottom of the third division, and it is on the fifth grade. Officers are generally awarded for military merit and are awarded to those who are brave in battle.

In addition to the military rank and honorable officer, there is also a set of official positions, that is, the thirty-fourth scattered general, from the sixth rank to the ninth rank, which is more similar to the military rank. Lingyun's newly won champion general is from the sixth grade. The same level is the auxiliary general, and the upper level is Siping, before and after, these six generals. In this set of scattered general names, the lowest is the general who is biased and the general who is under the ninth grade, and the highest is the general Yi Jun and the general Yi division on the sixth grade.

The thirty-fourth scattered general, each name is very loud, but in fact it is all miscellaneous generals, if there is no actual military position, these are at most empty names that serve as military ranks.

Neither the Commander nor the Scattered General have any substantive ministry, and in the final analysis, these two new official positions are just a few more levels of title for Ling Yun, and he can receive more salary when he receives his salary.

However, even if he is a commander and a scattered general, he was only white more than a month ago, and he suddenly became a seventh-rank and promoted to nine-level. Now all of a sudden, it has been promoted to the fifth level, and it has been promoted to the seventh level. In more than a month, he has been promoted to the sixteenth level, and this promotion speed, even in the Sui Dynasty, is a bit like a rocket. Is Yang Guang's sudden promotion to his official position like this a reward for his attack on the Prince Armory Workshop under the name of the Zheng clan in Xingyang? (To be continued......)
