Chapter 972 Northern Army Marshal

Wu Yi, who was at the wolf smoke mouth, did not wait for Qin Tianbing to return and report the news, but waited for a personal soldier of the marshal, who said that the marshal was less than a hundred miles away and asked Wu Yi and others to prepare to welcome him, which scared Wu Yi.

As introduced before, the military system of the Daji Dynasty is a five-army system, and the head of the five armies is called the marshal.

However, except for the Northern Army that guards the northern tribes and the Central Army that guards the center and suppresses the four directions, the other three armies are all empty and have extremely serious shortages of soldiers.

Therefore, in name, the marshals of the Northern Army and the Central Army are the same as the county governor, but in fact, their status is much higher and can be compared with the prime minister.

At this moment, the personal soldiers of the marshal who came to the wolf smoke mouth are the personal soldiers of the Northern Army Marshal's Mansion. This Northern Army Marshal can definitely rank among the top ten in the court of the Daji Dynasty. His official position and popularity are no less than that of Taiyi Shangxian.

Such people, if they come to a border place like Langyankou for the thrill of adventure, and want to be on the front line and prepare for the battle in the future, are basically carrying out important diplomatic tasks.

As for the recent important event, needless to say, it is the meeting of the five tribes. This matter is of great importance, and only such a major event is worthy of the Northern Army Marshal's personal trip to the north.

Things are indeed as Wu Yi expected before. The court is not blind, let alone such a major event. Even if the road is blocked by heavy snow, it is necessary to go.

"It would be better if I could follow in person!" After sending away the Marshal's personal soldiers, Wu Yi sat on a high stool, looked up at the sky, and said so. However, Wu Yi's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. Even he himself did not believe that this matter could succeed.

What a distinguished figure the Northern Army Marshal is. It is also a blessing for Wu Yi to pass through Langyankou this time. How dare he beg for more.

Wu Yi originally thought that the Northern Army Marshal would be accompanied by a large number of people and vehicles, but unexpectedly, there were only a hundred people, which was extremely shabby. It was hard to believe that this person was one of the most powerful people in the Great Ji Dynasty.

Naturally, Wu Yi would not be fooled by the hundred people in front of him. On the surface, there were only a hundred people, but the people who secretly protected him might be several times this number, hidden among merchants, hunters, and ordinary people. For the safety of the Northern Army Marshal, they might have started preparations several days in advance.

Wu Yi did not know the news until the Marshal was a hundred miles away. To some extent, it was also necessary to keep it secret, but it was also because of Wu Yi's low status.

Wu Yi was a low-ranking person, with no military merits or official positions. He only had the mission of a thousand men. Of course, in the Great Ji Dynasty, missions were more important than official positions.

Before, when Wu Yi learned about the Marshal's coming, he led a good rider to meet the Marshal. He traveled light and had a few followers to avoid exposing the news. The more he greeted, the more sincere his attitude was (at least in the eyes of outsiders).

After leaving the wolf smoke mouth, Wu Yi met the marshal's team thirty miles ahead. Seeing that there were only a hundred people, Wu Yi initially thought that the marshal was not among them, and almost made a mistake.

This trip was probably very hasty. Except for the marshal's guard of honor, the normal envoy's guard of honor was not very complete.

Of course, as long as the person in the team is there, these red tape and etiquette don't need to be cared about at all. If you argue with the northern tribes about these, they won't care much, but will laugh at you for being long-winded.

With the help of the marshal's personal soldiers, Wu Yi successfully passed the interrogation, otherwise he would be shot as a thief, but there was no place to reason. Don't think that you can get away with wearing military uniforms. In front of the marshal's safety, these hundred people are all killing without blinking an eye.

On the battlefield, there are precedents of changing into the enemy's clothes and fishing in troubled waters. Open the history books, and you will find them everywhere.

After integrating into this team, Wu Yi began to understand why the northern army marshal only used these hundred people when he traveled north.

Although they were all light cavalry, they were all armed with heavy weapons, with strong backs and strong horses. The reason why they were not equipped with heavy armor was entirely for speed. If they were really surrounded, no matter how thick the armor was, they might as well run faster.

When the hundred people marched, they were like puppets of immortals and Yellow Turban warriors. Except for the sound of the horses' hooves, there was no sound at all, which was extremely strange.

If Wu Yi's six or seven hundred men were to face this team, although they had the advantage in numbers, their chances of winning were actually not great.

In addition, the scouts who came in and out from time to time basically had one person in and out every ten minutes. Wu Yi was completely convinced that the slightest movement within hundreds of kilometers was controlled by the man in the carriage.

The most amazing thing was that this team was advancing quickly. A team of a hundred people could hide their tracks if they went a little deeper among the mountains and ridges. How did those people communicate? Wu Yi thought he had excellent eyesight, but after staying with them for a while, he didn't notice it.

This means of information exchange is advanced and can beat other opponents.

A single leaf falling can tell the coming of autumn. Seeing that the Northern Army Marshal can command this team of 100 people, it should be easy to mobilize thousands of troops.

Without transmitting messages through divine thoughts and magic power, Wu Yi needs to hone his skills for a long time to achieve this step.

However, at this moment, Wu Yi only needs to do his job as a thousand-man leader quietly. It is not his turn to command thousands of troops yet, so there is no rush at this time.

When the team arrived at the wolf smoke mouth, Wu Yi thought that his escort mission had ended and was about to bow and retreat. This was not an ordinary dinner party, and he could also entertain the marshal's food. He had special arrangements.

If one thing is not handled properly, Wu Yi might lose his head. If he entertains well, he will only be regarded as a lucky minister in the other party's heart, which is not worth the loss. Wu Yi naturally has no intention to entertain the marshal, so he just sends the plague god away as soon as possible.

However, what Wu Yi did not expect was that the marshal of the Northern Army in the carriage heard his subordinates report that they had arrived at the wolf smoke mouth and said: "Have you reached the front line? Yes, you have arrived first, wait here for a few days!"

From the voice, it is a refined scholar in his forties, with a magnetic and pleasant voice, which is different from the image of a bearded strong man in Wu Yi's imagination.

Then, just like this, this 100-man army swaggered into the wolf smoke mouth and set up camp not far from the camp of Wu Yi and others. In just half a day, the fortifications were completed, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There were shadowy shadows of tribal people around, not all of them were the tribal people who originally lived here, and some of their faces were unfamiliar.

Wu Yi was stunned. What was he doing? What about the promised confidentiality? What happened to the promised safety? After exposing his whereabouts, could he really trust the hundreds of people under Wu Yi to protect him?

The Northern Army Marshal moved into Langyankou, and there was no doubt that Langyankou immediately became the focus of attention.

And Wu Yi also understood later that the meeting place between the Northern Army Marshal and the Northern Land Tribe was agreed to be at Langyankou.
