Chapter 122: The Verge
After everything is ready and arranged, it is only necessary to wait for Guo Daxian's reaction in Gaoyi County!
In the fifth year of Zhongping, on the fifth day of the third month, most of the armies such as Wen Chou were already in place, such as the elite division, had already arrived at the ambush place, and even the troops responsible for disturbing the hearing and hearing of the thieves also passed through Gaoyi County and headed towards Fang County overnight. Just wait for Guo Daxian to be fooled and go out of the city.
Tonight, the sky is not particularly bright, there is no bright moon at the top, and there are no stars on the road, it is a good weather for the night to be dark and windy, and to rob houses. However, Guo Daxian, who was in the official temple of Gaoyi County, was not having a good time. The generals in his hall are also noisy and do not give in to each other. It seems that there are things that are difficult to decide.
"Dashuai, since this afternoon, there have been forty or fifty thousand soldiers of literary thieves, and they have been heading to the direction of House County one after another! If it weren't for me waiting for the wide distribution of eyeliner in this area, maybe I would have let the thieves fool them through! The first general said anxiously.
"Yes, the thief's move must be the idea of attacking our base camp house county! Forty or fifty thousand people, what else is there to consider? A mighty and majestic general echoed.
"No, this must be a thief's strategy, how can he gather forty or fifty thousand people? Besides, if he really gathered forty or fifty thousand people, then he went to attack Fang County, and there was a danger of losing Shahe Township and Pingjian County, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss? A man in a Confucian robe, said. It's quite a bit of a Confucian general.
"Unless he can guarantee the safety of Shahe, he will not risk losing Shahe Township and attack Fang County." This Confucian asserted.
"In this way, what is the intention of General Wen Chou's army to drive out the direction of the house county?" Guo Daxian immediately asked.
"This is easy to say, and its competition intends to emulate the plan of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao'! It was nothing more than an attempt to lure the marshal out of the city to rescue the house county, and he ambushed him halfway. The Confucian man, after a moment of silence, spoke.
"Oh, it sounds like this, Wen Chou is a little interesting." Hearing this, Guo Daxian thought for a while and nodded. The other generals in the hall also agreed when they heard what the Confucian said.
"Well, how does Zuo Jun think we should surprise the thief?" Guo Daxian asked with a smile.
"Since he thinks that after we receive the news, they will inevitably rush back to the house in a hurry, so as to ambush us and others. Then we will take it by surprise and attack its great rear -- Shahe Township. Let it wait there! The Confucian Shi Shi said. He is very satisfied with Guo Daxian's respect for him.
"So. Will the thief leave such a big flaw? Although Guo Daxian was very interested in the Confucian plan, he still thought carefully and asked.
"Since the marshal is not at ease, you can send someone to Shahe Township overnight to investigate. If it is heavily defended, but it is not well manned, then it must ambush us and others in the area of Gaoyi House County, and if there are not many people in its township, but the defense is not very strict, then the thief must have another plan. The Confucian said.
"Well, what the gentleman said is very true, but is it still too late in time?" Guo Daxian stood up and said.
"It shouldn't be a problem in terms of time, even if the thief really wants to attack the house county, I can still rush to the rescue within a few days, isn't it that the marshal has no confidence in General Zhang's ability!" General Zhang is a thief general who stayed in the house county, and he is a powerful general under Guo Daxian.
"In this way, this strategy is indeed feasible, even if the thief has some small tricks, it is not a big problem, he still has 10,000 elites! Thinking that the seven or eight thousand elite soldiers before were already most of his strength, and there were already forty or fifty thousand people on the way to the house, even if they wanted to rush back to rescue, it was too late! Guo Daxian thought for a while, and after feeling that there was nothing wrong, he said proudly. In this, Guo Daxian's inflated mentality is somewhat apparent.
"Exactly, one day is enough to make that personnel go away, and General Zhang will lead more than 10,000 personnel, and he will definitely be able to wait for us to wait for the triumphant rescue!" A general chimed in.
"Now that we have occupied Gaoyi County and conquered Shahe Township, then Pingjiao is not far away!" A general said happily.
"It is the wisdom of the marshal that has led to the achievements of our army today! Handsome and wise! A general complimented.
"Handsome and wise!"
"Mighty and mighty!"
"Long live the handsome!"
With the beginning of the personnel, everyone in the audience shouted loudly, making the original military discussion hall into a scene of Guo Daxian singing praises of virtue. It's quite absurd, but their thieves, this is nothing strange, thieves, how can there be any strict rules at all.
There was no word for a night, and early the next morning, a thief returned from the horse, saying that there was a tense atmosphere in Shahe Township, as well as strict precautions and a small number of personnel. Everything was exactly as the Confucian said, which made the generals respect him even more. Even Guo Daxian also looked at it and nodded.
Since everything is in their 'mastery' and they have seen through Wen Chou's 'little tricks', then it is time to send troops to attack Shahe Township. The deployment of troops and the dispatch of personnel were all decided yesterday, so there is no need to go into details. Immediately, 12,000 thieves and 1,400 Gaoyi county citizens were drawn out and went to Shahe Township. There are 10,000 old and weak thieves and 20,000 old and weak people in Gaoyi County who stay in Gaoyi County.
The thieves dispatched, 5,000 elites, and the others are all ordinary thieves, and the overall combat effectiveness is still stronger than the 7,000 elites led by Wen Chou, but if Wen Chou can make the 4,000 Gaoyi County citizens fight back, the situation is another story.
The army is marching, and the weather is meaningless, not to mention that it is the time of rejuvenation, the warmth is gradually appearing, and the cold is going early.
Wen Choujun repaired his defenses and prepared last night, and was about to do a big job. The constant scouts and probing horses made Wen Chou and the others quickly know the movements of the thieves in Gaoyi County and the location of other departments. Seeing that everything is under control, I can't help but be happy.
The distance of twenty miles is not very far, but it is not close, Guo Daxian's thief Kou army cannot match the marching speed of the regular army, and it took about half a day to finally arrive.
The first thing that catches your eye is a dilapidated pavilion, the pavilion is already dilapidated, not to mention the pavilion's Huabiao, the gatehouse, and the courtyard behind it is only half of it, and the rest are not known to be demolished by some homeless people to make a fire! This phenomenon is very common in the cold winter of the past, and not every homeless person is lucky enough to find a place to store them.
Looking to the northeast and south, there are four or five miles under the jurisdiction of this pavilion! The same dilapidation, the same weeds and people, it is really a sad image. Guo Daxian looked at the sun at the horse, and saw that the sun had reached the mountain, and the red glow was all over the sky, and it would not be long before the sky was dark, which was not conducive to the march. And he ordered all the armies to be stationed there.
Ling Yi led 3,000 thieves to search in the nearby Liluo. First, I wanted to see if I could scavenge some leftover items, but if I didn't, I could also demolish the house and make a fire to keep warm, although it was warmer, but it was still very cold at night; The second is to search to see if there are any ambushes, which is the most important thing.
There was no accident in the investigation, and there was not a single mouse in the dilapidated houses, let alone people! The army is outside the pavilion, stationed down, living and cooking, camping, needless to say.
But in a small grove three or four miles away from here, Wen Chou led six thousand elites, breathing anxiously waiting for the sky to darken.
Since knowing that Guo Daxian chose to send troops to attack Shahe Township, Wen Chou issued a series of orders. The elite led by himself is the key to defeating the enemy, covering his tracks all the way, avoiding the places where Guo Daxian passed, and waiting for his negligence to give them a thunderous blow.
Even the county and township elites who went to Gaoyi House County also went to inform them, ordering them to withdraw and surround Gaoyi County step by step, so as to prepare for the next step of seizing Gaoyi and annihilating the thieves. Although it is not the main force, it is still possible to do some tail sweeping work and round up the disabled thieves.
And they have not left Gaoyi County far, and they have not even left the territory of Gaoyi County, if they march at full speed, they will be able to return to Gaoyi County in only seven or eight hours. At that time, the main force of the thieves in Gaoyi County should have been crippled by Wen Chou, so there is no need to worry, it was discovered by the thieves' eyeliner.
All this is in the planning of the ugly people. It can be said that as long as Guo Daxian leads his troops out of Gaoyi County, then he will definitely fall into the trap laid by Wen Chou and them, and the trap is still the kind of ring after ring!
Not much to say, when night fell, there was no bright moon and stars, and it was all black, except for the torches in Guo Daxian's camp, there was no other light, which made the thieves who were in charge of patrolling and standing guard always feel unsteady in their hearts. is also unsteady, as well as their handsome Guo Daxian.
As night fell, Guo Daxian inspected the camps, all of which were stable. There are many soldiers who talk about how to kill officers and soldiers, full of morale, and good deeds, but when Guo Daxian saw it, his heart was sudden, and he always felt that something was going to happen, but when he thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong, so he had no choice but to give up, just arrange more patrol and stand guard.
and ordered those who patrol to do their best. Although there is an order from the marshal, but in this dark night, there is no movement, what is needed to 'strictly investigate and defend secrets', many of the people who patrol and stand guard are lazy and nap, and they also complain about the marshal's temporary arrangement for them to patrol and stand guard.
Just after two hours, the fires in Guo Daxian's camp were extinguished in several places, and most of the thieves had already disarmed and fallen asleep, and even the blades were randomly placed in a corner of the camp.
