The horse is so fast!
From the Zishui River Valley to Shuozhou Prefecture, two horses took turns traveling and arrived in less than a day.
"Master Pei, he is the captain Zhao who went deep into the Tartar rear, contacted the Wuhuan, attacked the royal court, and captured the Tartar family!"
Shuozhou Prefecture.
The temporary office residence of Pei Lun, the governor of Hedong Province.
As soon as Huang Chang brought Zhao Muyun in, he introduced them loudly to Pei Lun who was working behind the desk.
"Your humble servant, Zhao Muyun, the sergeant of the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower at the Jingbian Military Town of the Shuozhou Zhechou Prefecture, greets Lord Pei."
Official etiquette still had to be followed, so Zhao Muyun quickly saluted Pei Lun.
Pei Lun put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked out, looking at Zhao Muyun with a smile on his face, and praised:
"Haha, you're Sergeant Zhao, and you'll soon be Captain Zhao! If I'm not mistaken, you're definitely the only soldier in Dayin's history to be promoted three ranks in six months, and the first Captain Zhao so young!"
"The last time there was such a young captain was two hundred years ago, when Dayin was founded!"
Zhao Muyun was also secretly observing Pei Lun.
The prejudice in people’s hearts is like a mountain!
He thought that this political enemy competing with Fannan for power would be a sinister-looking guy.
But the truth was beyond his expectation.
Pei Lun was tall, had a loud voice, a dignified appearance, and looked like a decent person.
He lacked Fan Nan's elegant scholarly spirit, but had more of the rough and tumble air of a military camp.
His face was rather dark, and he seemed to have experienced the hardships of the frontier for a long time. He must have risen through the ranks of the army to become a military governor.
The Jiedushi of an important border town is equivalent to the commander of a certain district in Zhao Muyun's previous life, and has already entered the ranks of a country's senior military officers.
Dayin’s army currently uses Zhechoufu as its first-level combat unit.
The commander of a prefecture's army is a duwei, who has the power to command and train troops, but not the power to mobilize troops!
You are required to guard one place on weekdays and cannot leave the defense zone without permission.
Whenever war breaks out, the Ministry of War or a provincial-level official authorized by the Ministry of War will command the operations.
Then, according to the scale of the war and the battle sequence, three levels of generals were temporarily set up: Colonel, General of the Household, and General.
In the just-concluded Battle of Shuozhou, Fan Nan was appointed by the court as the commander-in-chief and should have been at the level of General of the Household or General.
The two ambush troops sent by Fan Nan can each be assigned a captain!
Those who could serve as the colonel were officials of the same rank as the first-level Jiedushi of Hedong Road, such as Pei Lun.
However, in this great war, Fan Nan arranged Pei Lun to be in charge of the logistics and transportation of food and fodder, while he himself directly commanded the captains of the twenty-three prefectures as the commander-in-chief.
The Pei Lun that Zhao Muyun saw at this moment must also be a good fighter.
A good warrior does not necessarily have great achievements.
Pei Lun was able to hold the position of Jiedushi of Hedong Road for many years because he had his own abilities and background.
If Fan Nan had given Pei Lun the power to command this battle, the result might have been completely different.
But assuming it's just assuming, the battle is already settled.
Fan Nan was defeated and dismissed from his post, and Pei Lun cleaned up the mess.
Zhao Muyun emerged as a rising star in the army after this battle.
"Master Pei's praise is so profound, I am ashamed!"
"I was just following military orders and luckily completed my mission!"
Zhao Muyun said modestly.
"Haha, you are neither impatient nor arrogant. You have the demeanor of a great general. Your future is limitless."
Pei Lun praised Zhao Muyun lavishly, almost making him feel flattered.
Half a year ago, he was just a farmer's son who had just enlisted in the army;
Half a year later, he was about to become a prefectural commander and have conversations with the highest military commander of Hedong Road.
If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't even dare to imagine such a scene.
"What Huang Chang said to you also represents my opinion! I know you have some connection with Fan Nan! As a human being, it's right to repay a favor!"
"Naturally, some of the credit for the Tartars' retreat will go to Fan Nan, so he won't be embarrassed in the Dali Temple."
Before Zhao Muyun could speak, Pei Lun continued, "I asked you to come to Shuozhou so that you could settle down, kill the enemy, earn merit, and guard the border of Dayin."
Pei Lun spoke with great righteousness. If it weren't for Fan Nan's preconceived notion, Zhao Muyun would probably have been so excited that he couldn't wait to swear an oath.
How could Zhao Muyun forget the kindness of Black Camel Mountain in giving him the sword and the thought-provoking conversation?
If Fan Nan had not specifically asked him to carry out the task of finding the Wuhuan people, how could he have achieved what he has today?
Even though Fan Nan has lost his power now, it does not affect his unique position in Zhao Muyun's heart.
But now Zhao Muyun needs to become stronger and stronger so that his words will carry weight.
Fan Tong and the others wouldn't understand and left angrily.
Zhao Muyun firmly believed that Fan Nan would be pleased with the path Zhao Muyun is taking when he found out.
"Sir Pei, defending the country is a soldier's duty, and I have no choice but to do it." Zhao Muyun said it without a single mistake.
From the moment Zhao Muyun came in, Pei Lun seemed to be constantly testing Zhao Muyun.
Zhao Muyun knew very well that Pei Lun's desire to meet him was not just to ask him to come and take a look. After talking for so long, he still hadn't gotten to the point!
"Haha, great! If Dayin had more soldiers like you, why would we be afraid of the Tartar invaders?"
Pei Lun laughed dryly for a few times, then suddenly changed his tone. His face turned serious, and he asked with a half-smile, "I heard someone say you wanted to go to Yinzhou to be a captain. Is that true?"
Pei Lun wanted to ask about this. Zhao Muyun smiled inwardly and said seriously, "Yes, sir, I do want to govern Yinzhou!"
"Do you know that Yinzhou belongs to Guannei Dao, not Hedong Dao?"
"How can a captain from Hedong Province be in charge of a prefecture in Guannei Province? If this matter were brought to the attention of the Ministry of War and His Majesty, it would be a crime of usurpation!"
