Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 1347 Faction - Silver Wing Alliance (3K)

Asking for recommendation votes
……

Zuo Tingjun narrowed his eyes slightly and showed a sly smile: "If it's not because of Zhuo Qianren, then why are you here?"

"Your southern headquarters has been in turmoil recently. There's been so much commotion going on. Logically, you should be very busy."

"Could it be that you came here specifically to protect these little guys below?"

As he spoke, he reached out and gently touched the neatly trimmed short beard on his chin.

After a pause, Zuo Tingjun said thoughtfully: "However, the Chen family has recently picked out the hideout of the Scarlet Church. It is reasonable for the general to send you here to protect them."

Yun Huayi rolled his eyes fiercely and said angrily: "You are the deputy general of the military region, the commander of the northern military sub-district, and the right-hand man of the general. What kind of mess are you thinking about all day long!"

"I came here for something important. Don't speculate here. I will explain it to you in detail later."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Tingjun exchanged glances with Yin Duruo, the Lord of Tianling City, who was sitting beside him, and asked tentatively, "Is there something important?"

Yun Huayi nodded slightly, his expression solemn: "Well, if this matter can be handled beautifully, our reputation will surely rise to a higher level, and the rank of the general should also be promoted to the rank of marshal."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zuo Tingjun and Yin Duruo were immediately cheered up.

Zuo Tingjun rubbed his hands and grinned, "That's great, it looks like there will be a new mission, I've almost forgotten about it."

"After the general broke through the title, he should have been awarded the title of marshal, but those dirty villains suppressed him in every possible way with all kinds of unfounded reasons such as military merit."

Yun Huayi glanced at him and said, "The general is different from your brother. She is a person with real power. Marshal is also a job title."

"But why do I feel that you are particularly concerned about the general?"

Zuo Tingjun waved his hand nonchalantly, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Haha, the general is the pillar of our faction and the banner of our army."

"In terms of status, power, and prestige, even my brother is slightly inferior to the general."

He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I can take the position of deputy general of the military sub-district commander, thanks to the recommendation of the general and my brother."

"Now that our faction and the Chen family are so close, I naturally have to pay attention to the general's every move."

At this point, Zuo Tingjun leaned forward slightly, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Yun Huayi and said, "Besides, Old Yun, if we talk about the general's left and right arms, it should be you, right?"

"I heard that, based on your achievements this time, the general recommended you as the deputy general of the Southern Military Division."

After hearing this, Yun Huayi curled his lips slightly and said disapprovingly: "It's not even a matter of time yet. The military may not agree. Isn't your brother working in the military? Doesn't he know whether it will work or not?"

Zuo Tingjun nodded and said in deep agreement: "That's true. There will be a competition in the military. It all depends on what those military leaders think."

"Whether they intend to give up the Chang'an Military Region and completely hand it over to us, or whether they intend to balance the forces of all parties, it's hard to say."

He paused, his eyes revealing a bit of pride, and continued: "However, Zhuo Qianren broke through the Titled Douluo and approached us. This must have been something they did not expect."

"Our faction is growing so rapidly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to deal with it."

Then, he changed the subject, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Old Yin, you have been at the peak Soul Saint for so long, do you have any plans to break through?"

Tianling City Lord Yin Duruo smiled slightly, shook his head calmly, and said: "Don't worry, don't worry. The situation in the court is changing rapidly, and various forces are still fighting in secret. It won't be too late to make a breakthrough when the situation becomes clearer."

Yun Huayi sighed softly, with a bit of emotion in his expression, and said: "Old Yin, to be honest, you have indeed suffered a lot."

"For Lao Zuo and our group, I gave up a lot of opportunities for promotion. It's a big sacrifice."

After hearing this, Yin Duruo raised a carefree smile and waved his hand, saying, "My situation is different from yours. Chu Ran and I are both civil servants, and our faction is relatively weak in the civil service aspect."

"Tianling City cannot be compared with a huge city like Chang'an City. It needs a Soul Douluo to be the city lord."

"If I break through now, I'm afraid I'll have to give up the position of Tianling City Lord to someone else."

Yun Huayi sighed and shook his head helplessly: "Who told us that we are just a branch of the royal family? Compared with those side branches of the main line, our civil servants are indeed a bit weaker."

Zuo Tingjun smiled and said comfortingly: "Old Yin, just relax. Maybe in a year or two, you won't have to suppress your realm deliberately anymore."

"The empire has been developing smoothly over the years, and there are many city lords like you."

"There are less than 40 main cities in the empire. I have heard that someone is planning to propose that the governor of a main city should be a Soul Douluo."

Yin Duruo raised her eyebrows sharply, looking at the determined look on his face, and asked quickly, "Are you serious?"

Zuo Tingjun nodded confidently and said, "My brother mentioned this in a letter some time ago."

"No matter what excuses others give, one thing is true. With the empire's strong power, it would be easy to gather these forty Soul Douluo City Lords, right?!"

Yun Huayi also echoed, "That makes sense. The deputy generals of the nine military regions are all Soul Douluo."

"Although your governor of the main city is a civil servant, his rank is comparable to that of a deputy general. He should have been a third-rank official long ago."

Zuo Tingjun narrowed his eyes slightly and analyzed: "Moreover, most of the current governors of the main cities are stuck at a certain level. Instead of this, it would be better to relax the restrictions. This will definitely be in the interests of most factions in the court."

“I believe there will be little resistance to this proposal and it will be passed soon.”

"Old Yin, just wait for good news."

The Tianfu Zuo Family, Lightning Falcon Yun Family, and Ziyan Yin Family are all seventh-rank branches of the Tiandou Imperial Family, and they are hereditary marquisates. Three years ago, the Tiandou Academy team visited Chang'an Academy, and Yin Shizhi and Yunluo were outstanding children from their families.

There are many branches of the royal family, as many as twenty or thirty, with different closenesses and positions, and many families rely on each other for warmth.

At the same time, they have inextricable ties with the royal side branches and even some people in the main line, and naturally divided into five or six groups and factions.

These three families, together with two other families, belong to the same faction - the Silver Wing Alliance - as the ancestor of the side branch of the county king, to which Xue Chuxin and Xue Churan belong - the Yin Wang branch.

Their faction has a characteristic that they basically do not interfere in the affairs of the direct lineage, and do not even have close contacts with the direct lineage. Their political spectrum is quite neutral.

This "silver" symbolizes the calm restraint of the royal family's side branches and neutral position.

This also caused the original Silver Wing Alliance to be relatively loose.

The Silver Wing Alliance has a long history, and it was not just because of the two beauties from the Xue family and Zuo Ting who just appeared.

Oh, by the way, although Xue Chuxin and Xue Churan are not biological sisters, they are sisters of the same generation within the five generations. As can be seen from the fact that both of their names contain the word "Chu", they have a relatively close relationship.

At first, their faction had a pair of Xue girls who were quite famous. Later, with Zuo Tinggang's breakthrough, they had a standard-bearer.

Then, Xue Chuxin's breakthrough and her combination with the Chen family ushered in a period of explosive growth.

Under this development context, the centripetal force of the Silver Wing Alliance has greatly increased, and the ties between these major component families have become closer.

In recent years, many people have joined their team and the company has grown stronger.

Now many people call them the Silver Wing Sect instead of the Silver Wing Alliance.

Today, this faction has become quite powerful and holds a pivotal position in the court.

As for the "deputy general" they mentioned, his official title was deputy commander-in-chief general, while people like Yun Huayi were commanding generals.

From the commander-in-chief level onwards, one is called a general. For the sake of convenience, the military has simplified the title and just calls him "commander-in-chief".

Therefore, deputy general is basically a special title for deputy commander-in-chief.

It is also called deputy commander, but it is rarely used.

In the Tiandou Empire, the value of a commander-level general is very high, because he has entered the third grade and is clearly held by a Soul Sage.

The deputy commander is a transitional position, and the appointment criteria are not so fixed. There are Soul Sages or senior Soul Emperors.

However, the deputy commander of an ace team like the Chang'an Guard is half a level higher and is also a Soul Sage.

Under the command of the general of the Chang'an Military Region, there are three commander-in-chief and deputy generals, who are responsible for the three military divisions of the north, center and south respectively, and all of them are powerful Soul Douluo-level warriors.

Of course, due to the influence of geopolitics, the general of Chang'an is generally stationed in the south, and the military district headquarters and military sub-district are combined into one.

Therefore, the Southern Military Division has the strongest force, with nearly 300,000 troops; the Northern Military Division has 120,000 to 130,000 troops; and the Central Division has the smallest force, with only 80,000 to 90,000 troops.

At the beginning, Ge Lai Zheng was the most important deputy general among the three deputy generals, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Sub-district.

Of course, many troops were directly led by the general, and he had no authority to dispatch them.

As for Yun Huayi, he was one of the two Soul Douluos who followed the Titled Combat Power Priest to fight against the Demon Sky Eagle.

The Chang'an Flying Spirit Guards he led were quite special, and flying spirit masters were an extremely important strategic force for the Tiandou Empire.

Different from the elite ace troops of each of the nine military regions, the Flying God Guards are an elite organization equipped by all major military regions and are also ace-level.

Therefore, these Flying God Guards would be prefixed with the name of the military region they belonged to, and their commanders were all the most trusted and beloved generals of the generals of each military region.

……

Three years ago, after Ge Lai Zheng was dismissed (on the surface he resigned), the two key positions of Deputy General of the Southern Region and Commander of the Chang'an Guard became "hot cakes" in the eyes of various forces.

Xue Chuxin and some people in the military had their own ideas, and they engaged in a fierce game of game in the dark. The two sides went back and forth and neither gave in, resulting in the ownership of these two important positions remaining undecided.

During this period, Xue Chuxin will temporarily serve as the commander of Chang'an Guard, and the position of deputy general will be vacant.

In the Battle of Xieluo Mountain, the soldiers of Chang'an Guard fought bravely and won great military achievements.

Xue Chuxin knew that the time had come, so he decided to fulfill his previous promise and recommended Ge Yingtian as the commander of Chang'an Guard. He also submitted a document recommending Yun Huayi as the deputy general of the southern part.

Chang'an Guard is an ace team of the empire. Although Xue Chuxin cannot make the decision alone on the selection of its leader, the right of recommendation she holds is extremely important and she has at least half of the say.

After all, Xue Chuxin's move was just a deal with the Ge family, one of the bigwigs in the military.

Ge Laizhen was previously dismissed and his reputation was damaged, and Xue Chuxin's recommendation of his son Ge Yingtian this time can be regarded as restoring some reputation for Ge Laizhen, so that all forces can end the matter in a decent manner.

In fact, when Xue Chuxin agreed to let Ge Yingtian come to Chang'an Military Region, it was already a way for the Ge family to save face.

This time I recommend Ge Yingtian again, which is a favor.

The Ge family has a huge influence in the military. What Ge Yingtian lacked for his promotion was recognition and recommendation from a local general like Xue Chuxin.
