"You want me to join the army with you?"
How could Northern Sparrow not see through Lin Yi's little trick?
Since everyone had made it clear, Lin Yi did not have any taboos and directly sent an invitation.
"I am ashamed that I am inferior to your fast sword. I have an elite troop under me, not many, two to three hundred people.”
"I'll give you this troop, and you'll train them for me. The requirement is that these two to three hundred people must have the strength to survive on the battlefield, and each of them must be able to take on at least six opponents.”
Northern Sparrow raised an eyebrow.
Lin Yi continued,
"Help me train them up and treat it as returning my favor. When the time comes, the world will be big and you can go wherever you want. If you're willing to live and die with us, we'll drink and laugh together and do something great!”
Lin Yi spoke passionately, almost using all his strength.
However, this did not change the Northern Sparrow.
Northern Sparrow's lips twitched.
"It has nothing to do with me to live and die together. That's your business.”
Lin Yi's heart gradually turned cold. Was this matter of subduing the Northern Sparrow going to fall through?
However, in the next second, Northern Sparrow kept her promise and agreed to assist Lin Yi.
"I followed you into the army to repay you.”
"There's no time to lose. We'll set off immediately!" Lin Yi said in surprise.”
"So fast?"
"Hurry up and take a look at your grass. What do you want to bring? Hurry up and bring it with you. There is a fast horse outside the forest that has been specially prepared for you!”
Northern Sparrow did not hesitate. She lit the grass and didn't bring anything else besides the erhu.
The two of them rode to the east of the city, where the General of Flying Cavalry lived.
The general opened the government affairs, Lin Yi did not need to report, holding the emperor's edict straight into the palace, took the general seal, tiger talisman, dare not delay.
"Lin Yi, the land of our dynasty cannot be lost. I will be in charge of the imperial court and will naturally be your backing. If there is a tight battle on the front lines and you encounter trouble, immediately send a fast horse to report to me.”
"I accept your orders!"
When he left Chang 'an, Lin Yi only brought two of the trusted aides of the General of Flying Cavalry and Northern Sparrow's group of four.
When the two trusted aides saw Northern Sparrow, they were stunned and shocked.
They did not expect Lin Yi to even take these people under his wing. It was simply terrifying!
He rushed to Dingzhou overnight.
Three days later, Lin Yi brought along Liu Hanshan and Hu Dahai from Dingzhou. They did not stop and headed straight for Jiangyang.
……
"On the orders of General Pingnan, four lieutenants listen up!”
"Your subordinate is here."
"Transfer a commandant from your camp to Jiangyang City and meet up with my Pingnan General!”
"This subordinate will follow your instructions."
After passing down the order, the four lieutenants took the military order document and saw that Lin Yi's name was signed behind the order.
The words "Yan Han Pingnan Great General Seal" were also stamped on the back.
They were stunned at first, but then they sighed in their hearts.
"I really didn't misjudge him. This young man is indeed a dragon among men. I didn't want to become a general so quickly!”
"My general has a message for the fourth commandant. The general said that he has been under the fourth commandant's command for nearly three months.”
"This subordinate is terrified. I hope that General Lin will receive good news and be promoted step by step!”
Hearing Lin Yi's message, the four commandants felt extremely honored and personally brought people to call Chu Xiongxin.
"How is it? How is my brother?"
"Entering the capital to meet the emperor, what official did the emperor give him?”
When Qin Hu, the centurion, heard that there was news of Lin Yi, he immediately ran out and shouted.
"Under the orders of General Pingnan, your Commandant Battalion will be transferred to his tent.”
Qin Hu widened his eyes.
"Which general? What General Pingnan?"
"It's General Lin Yi."
"What?"
Qin Hu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets…
"My brother became a general? And he's the Pingnan General?"
"Brothers, come out quickly. Big Brother has been promoted! Hurry up, hurry up and break camp for me. Let's rush to Jiangyang City and immediately go see Big Brother!”
The Commandant Barracks were in an uproar, and they were marching in a hurry…
On the other side, Lin Yi gathered a portion of Li Chengsi's troops. There were a total of 4,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantrymen. The number of horses was almost 10,000.
This was almost the most troops Lin Yi could command now.
Four Peace Generals and Four Peace Generals could command at most 20,000 troops, but they needed the special permission of the hussars general to command 20,000 troops.
Otherwise, 10,000 was already the limit.
"Send the scouts into the tent."
"How is the military situation in the Wu Dynasty?"
"The Martial Emperor demoted Zhou Lianggong by three ranks and will temporarily take over the position of Grand Marshal. This time, he will send Wu Zhao 'er to lead the troops. Wu Zhao' er will lead 70,000 troops and will be pressing down 300 miles outside Jiangyang City.”
"How is our army now?" Lin Yi nodded.”
"The general of the State of Qi is on his way back. The Imperial Court has also sent General Gao Deng with 50,000 troops to assist the 10,000 soldiers of our Jiangyang Army to resist the Wu Dynasty.”
"How did General Gordon deploy his troops?”
"General Gao Deng has sent a letter today. He has prepared 15,000 troops to guard the upper reaches of Lotus Town.”
Lin Yi knew that Lotus Town was the intersection of the southern border and the southwest border.
There were 15,000 soldiers stationed here. Gao Deng was used as reinforcements. If Lin Yi encountered trouble, Gao Deng could immediately provide support.
If the Wu Dynasty suddenly mobilized their troops, they could immediately retreat and defend the south.
"Does the former general have any other instructions for me?”
"The former general has sent word that the opportunity is fleeting. He also agrees with the general's thousand-mile flash attack method. Please do not worry, General Lin. His 15,000 people will arrive at Lotus Town without anyone noticing.”
"Thank the former general for me."
Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh. Having an old man in the family was like having a treasure. The former general Gao Deng was already 61 years old this year. After all, he was an old minister of three dynasties. He was always stable when he did things!
"Hu Dahai, you will be my vanguard general!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Liu Hanshan, you can be Hu Dahai's vanguard general first. When you can defeat Hu Dahai, I will promote you to the vanguard general!”
Lin Yi knew that with Liu Hanshan's fearless temper, he would definitely cause trouble in other camps.
Wasn't Liu Hanshan ranked 28th and Hu Dahai ranked 4th?
Let's just let these two fellows stay in the same Vanguard Battalion and see who can beat the other?
"Qin Hu, Chu Xiongxin, listen to my orders."
"I'm here!"
"The 240 people in your Lieutenant Battalion will form a special forces mobile army. From now on, we will call it the Wudang Flying Army. Commandant Chu Xiongxin and Centurion Qin Hu will be the vice-captains. Beique will be the captain, and you will all be trained by him!”
"Understood!"
"Brother Northern Sparrow, these bastards aren't easy to deal with.”
"Everyone else in the camp, listen up. 5,000 infantry will train as usual, 4,000 cavalrymen will listen to my orders, and the Wudang Flying Army will train in secret and only listen to me.”
"As you command, General!"
"Cavalry, step forward!"
……
After the army was in order, Lin Yi led the team to take a detour and quickly marched from a hidden path, heading straight for the southwest border in the starry night.
Lin Yi deliberately took off his armor and found a person with a similar build. Every day, he would command and train soldiers in the military camp as a substitute, pretending to be himself to attract the attention of the Wu Dynasty soldiers.
He himself was traveling light, only bringing the Wudang Flying Army and four thousand cavalrymen.
The name Wudang Flying Army had actually been used by someone before. The reason why Lin Yi still used this name was because these four words were too bold!
It was in line with his definition of the special forces.
As for now, he had just allocated the troops and Lin Yi did not have the time to train his troops. He was not even familiar with the soldiers under his command.
However, Lin Yi had already led most of these cavalrymen once during the battle of Jiangyang.
He could recognize many familiar faces among the people who had captured Zhou Lianggong.
The army would travel about seven hundred li in a day and night, and would reach the southwest border in two and a half days.
Two days later, Lin Yi and the others were getting closer and closer to their destination.
The scouts that were sent out had already sent back reports.
"General, the Dai Kingdom army has 30,000 soldiers at the Three Saint Mountain. They are in a stalemate with our border guards, but they have not made a move.”
"How is the situation of our garrison?"
"There are 27,000 soldiers stationed in various places. At present, the general has given the order to evacuate the population of the border towns and send them to safety.”
Lin Yi looked at the map and said,
"It's impossible for Dai Country to only send out 30,000 people. Moreover, they've always been playing dirty. After they're done fighting, they'll run away, killing people everywhere and stealing gold and silver.”
"But…the frontline army reported that they didn't find any other Dai Kingdom troops.”
"Where do you keep your rations?”
"At the Great Gold Mountain, there are 120,000 dan of rations and 3,000 people guarding it.”
"Did you find any enemy troops?"
The scout shook his head." There's no military intelligence. General, where are we going now?"”
For the sake of stability, Lin Yi decided to quietly rush to the vicinity of the Great Gold Mountain to repair it.
The most important resources in a war were war horses and rations.
Right now, he still could not figure out the enemy's intentions, nor did he discover any abnormalities. However, Lin Yi knew that grain was of the utmost importance.
What if the other party suddenly attacked and seized the military rations?
"Follow me to the Great Gold Mountain, the faster the better!”
……
Reality proved that Lin Yi's strategy of seeking stability was correct.
Three days ago, Wu Zhao 'er had ordered the 4,000 elite cavalry of the Dai Kingdom to take a detour through the Wu Dynasty and reach the vicinity of the golden mountain.
If the 120,000 dan of rations were lost, the 27,000 guards would have no rations to use. This would be troublesome.
This was the reason why no other soldiers of the Dai Kingdom had appeared at the southwest border.
He was an ally of the Wu Dynasty, and he borrowed the Wu Dynasty's path to burn your military rations. If Lin Yi did not have such considerations, he would probably be in danger...
