Chapter 122: Imminent
Everything is ready and after the arrangement is made, Guo Daxian from Gaoyi County will make a decision!
In the fifth year of Zhongping, on the fifth day of the third month, at night, most of the troops including Wen Chou and others had already taken their positions. The elite troops had already arrived at the ambush. Even the troops responsible for disrupting the audio-visual of the bandits passed by Gaoyi County and headed towards Fangzi County overnight. Just waited for Guo Daxian to be deceived and leave the city.
Tonight, the sky is not particularly bright, neither the moon is on the top nor the stars are reflected on the road. It is a good weather for the night to be dark and windy, and it is a good weather for the family to rob. However, Guo Daxian, who is in the Guan Temple in Gaoyi County, is not easy. The generals in his hall are also quarreling and do not give in to each other. It seems that there is something difficult to decide.
"Master General, since this afternoon, there have been 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers of Wenzhe have gone to Fangzi County one after another! If we hadn't been waiting for the wide range of eyeliners in this area, maybe Wenzhe and the others would have been confused!" A general said anxiously.
"Yes, Wenzhe must have the idea of attacking our base camp Fangzi County! 40,000 to 50,000 people, what else can the general consider?" A mighty and majestic general replied.
"No, this must be the plan of the Wen Thief. How could he gather 40,000 to 50,000 people? Besides, he really gathered 40,000 to 50,000 people. Then when he attacked Fangzi County, he would lose Shahe Township and Pingji County, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" A man wearing a Confucian robe said, with a bit of a Confucian general's taste.
"Unless he can ensure the safety of Shahe River, he will not risk losing Shahe Township and conquer Fangzi County." The Confucian scholar asserted.
"That's what did Wen Chou want to drive the army to Fangzi County?" Guo Daxian immediately asked.
"This is a change, and his competition is intended to imitate the plan of 'surrounding Wei and saving Zhao'! It is nothing more than trying to lure the general out of the city to rescue Fangzi County, and he ambushed him halfway." The Confucian scholar pondered for a moment and said.
"Oh, it sounds like this, Wen Chou is a bit interesting." Guo Daxian thought for a while and nodded. The other generals in the hall agreed with the Confucian scholar when they heard the words of this.
"Well, Zuo Jun thinks how should I surprise Wen Thief?" Guo Daxian asked with a smile.
"Since he thinks that after receiving the news, he will inevitably rush back to the house in a hurry and ambush us. Then we will attack the rear of the country, Shahe Township. Let him wait there!" The Confucian scholar said sternly. He was very satisfied with Guo Daxian's respect for him.
"So, will this person Wenzhe leave such a big flaw?" Although Guo Daxian was very interested in the Confucian scholar's plan, he still thought carefully and asked.
"Since the general is worried, he can send someone to Shahe Township to investigate overnight. If his defense is very strict but there are insufficient personnel, he will definitely ambush us in the area of Fangzi County, Gaoyi. If there are not many people in the township but the defense is not very strict, the literary thief must have other plans." The Confucian scholar said.
"Well, what sir said is very much, but is it still time to go?" Guo Daxian stood up and said.
"Time should not be a problem. It's just that the thief of Wen really wants to attack Fangzi County. We can still rush to rescue within a few days. Could it be that the general has no confidence in General Zhang's ability?" General Zhang is a thief who stayed in Fangzi County, and a capable general under Guo Daxian.
The general led three thousand bandits to search nearby. First, he wanted to see if he could loot some remaining items. Even if there weren't, he could also dismantle the house and make a fire to keep warm. Although it was warmer, it was still very cold at night. Second, he was searched to see if there were any ambushes, which was the most important thing.
No accident happened after a investigation. There was no accident in the dilapidated house, even a mouse, let alone a person! The army was stationed outside the pavilion headquarters, cooking, and setting up camps without further ado.
But in a small wood three or four miles away, Wen Chou led 6,000 elite soldiers, breathing anxiously, waiting for the sky to get dark.
Since he learned that Guo Daxian had chosen to send troops to attack Shahe Township, Wen Chou issued a series of orders. The elite troops he led were the key to defeating the enemy. He covered his journey and made up his mind to avoid the place where Guo Daxian passed by, just waiting for his negligence to give them a thunder blow.
Even if he went to the strong county and township areas of Gaoyi Fangzi County, some personnel went to inform him, and ordered him to withdraw step by step, surround Gaoyi County, and prepare for the next step to seize Gaoyi and annihilate the bandits. Although he was not the main force, he could do some final work and round up the broken bandits.
And they did not leave Gaoyi County, and they had not even left Gaoyi County. If they marched at full speed, they would definitely be able to return to Gaoyi County in just seven or eight hours. By then, the main force of the bandits in Gaoyi County should have been crippled by Wen Chou, so there is no need to worry that they were discovered by the bandits' eyeliner.
All of this is in the planning of Wen Chou and others. It can be said that as long as Guo Daxian leads his troops out of Gaoyi County, he will definitely fall into the trap set by Wen Chou and others, and the trap is one by one!
Without further ado, the night was falling, and there was no bright moon or stars. There was no darkness. Apart from the torches in Guo Daxian's camp, there was no other light, which made the bandits responsible for patrol and standing guard feel uneasy. Also uneasy were their general Guo Daxian.
As night fell, Guo Daxian inspected all camps and villages, and they were all stable. Many soldiers talked about how to kill officers and soldiers. They were full of morale and had good things. However, when Guo Daxian saw it, he felt that something was going to happen. However, after careful consideration, there was nothing wrong, so he had no choice but to give up and just arranged more patrols and stand guard.
He also ordered the patrolers to do their best. Although the commander of the Grand Marshal was there, there was no movement on this dark night, so what would be needed to "security and secret defense"? The patrolers and stand guards are lazy and napping, and they are also quite complaining about the temporary arrangement of the Grand Marshals to patrol and stand guard.
