Lin Chong originally didn't want the land of the Song Dynasty to fall into the hands of the bandits in vain, but after hearing Gao Kan's words, he somehow felt that this was the best strategy.
The sentence "There is a kind of victory called retreat, and there is a kind of defeat called occupation" made him think.
Since their acquaintance, Gao Kan has made decisions far beyond Lin Chong's imagination.
Sometimes he couldn't help but think to himself that Gao Kan's wisdom was all reflected in the demon, as if he could predict everything, just like the prime minister Zhuge Wuhou back then.
After hesitating for a moment, he still clasped his fists and responded: "I am willing to go to Lingshou in the name of the young master."
Lin Chong finished speaking and was about to leave, but Gao Kan stopped him again.
"Master Lin, don't be too busy. Listen to me. After you arrive at Lingshou, don't act in a hurry. You can observe the situation of the Lingshou Xiang army. If the Jin army comes to the city soon, take action immediately. If the Jin army has not yet If we want to take action, we will hold still for the time being. In short, we can take away the men and horses until the Jin army is about to arrive."
Lin Chong heard this and asked puzzledly: "Master, why is this?"
"Let Coach Lin know that if Lingshou's troops retreat to Pingshan early, there will be bad things on both sides. On the one hand, the Zhending Mansion can then use this as an excuse to blame the Lingshou troops for the loss of territory. Anyone who asks them to escape Secondly, if they are not completely frightened by the Jin army, they might dare to defend the city for two or three days, but it will be a waste of time."
Gao Kan explained with a smile on his face.
After Lin Chong heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, clasped his fists and said goodbye before setting off, and Gao Kan no longer stopped him.
Lin Chong was originally the instructor of the 100,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo and was under the rule of the Palace Commander. If someone else went to Lingshou to persuade the troops to retreat without a fight, it would be difficult, but he might have a chance.
Of course, Gao Kan couldn't leave everything to him.
If the general leading the Lingshou army is a loyal and brave man and would rather die than retreat without military orders from above, then we will be in trouble.
So after Lin Chong left, Gaokan wrote another letter and sent it directly to Bianliang, Tokyo.
At this time, of course, Captain Gao would be asked to come forward and help.
The Third Division of the Palace Commander's Office is responsible for the military power of the world. As the Taiwei of the Palace Commander's Palace, Gao Qiu can directly command even if there are no local military control orders. Then he will not be afraid that Lingshou's troops will not obey the orders.
Once the arrangements are in place, Gaokan Qiebailing Village can sit back and relax, waiting for the Jin soldiers to come into the urn.
Time passed, and five or six days later, another secret message from Cao Zhengfei Ge came to Zhending Mansion. The Jin army and horses had arrived at Lingshou City. The soldiers and horses stationed in Lingshou's Xiang fled away without fighting, and the army retreated straight to Pingshan.
Without this group of men and horses to stop them, the Jin Army's cavalry still entered an uninhabited territory, passed Lingshou, and rushed towards Zhending Mansion.
Ruan Boqian, the prefect of Zhending Prefecture, was horrified when he learned that the Jin army was so brave and unstoppable.
Before the Jin army arrived at the gate of Zhending Mansion, he took his family and his family, abandoned the city, and fled to Luan City, leaving only a handful of deputies in the city. They were also like frightened birds, who might abandon the city and flee at any time.
After reading this secret letter, Gao Kan was a little surprised.
According to his original expectation, the Jin army was heading straight towards Zhending Mansion, and the officials of Zhending Mansion should have fled in response.
Unexpectedly, only one person, Ruan Boqian, the prefect, had escaped until now, which was unexpected.
But even so, most of the matter is settled, and those who have not escaped yet are all frightened.
As long as the slightest rumor spreads, Gao Kan expected that they would not dare to stay in the city and would definitely escape together.
After all, the leaders have run away. Are they, the subordinate officials, still waiting to die?
After Gao Kan made the plan, he wrote a letter clearly stating the plan, and then sent it back via pigeon, asking Cao Zheng to act according to the plan.
As long as Cao Zheng manages things beautifully, within a few days, Zhending Mansion will have no officials available.
On the afternoon of the same day that Gao Kan received the letter from Cao Zheng Fei Ge, he received another secret letter urging military intelligence to be rushed eight hundred miles away.
This letter came from Bianliang, Tokyo, and was written to him personally by Captain Gao.
After reading the letter, Gao Kan learned that the Jin army marched south and suddenly attacked the Song Dynasty, which shocked the whole court.
At the beginning, there were many ambitious people in the court, who were determined to mobilize forces from all sides of Zhending Mansion to encircle and suppress the Jin army who dared to invade Song Dynasty.
However, as the battle reports from the front continued to come back, in just a few days, most of the Zhending Mansion was lost, and the atmosphere in the court changed instantly.
More breaking news came from the two famous generals of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang.
One of them was on the west road, the other on the east road, each leading an army. They suddenly launched an attack and marched south.
Wanyan Zongwang's east-route army set off from Pingzhou and marched straight in. In just a few days, they marched down twenty or thirty cities and headed directly towards Yanjing.
At the same time, Wanyan Zonghan's west-route army sent out from Heyin and had captured Shuozhou and Ninghua armies. Xinzhou was in danger.
Under the attack of the two armies of the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty's border troops were weak in defense, and the situation was about to completely collapse. The east and west sides of the Song Dynasty were about to fall, and the government and the opposition were shaken.
The officials have ordered the Prince of Guangyang County, led by Grand Tutor Tong Guan, to rush to Taiyuan to take charge of the enemy.
When Gao Kan saw this, he knew that all his previous plans and predictions had come true. If the situation in Zhending Mansion was to be disrupted again, he could write a letter to Daming Mansion and ask Liang Zhongshu to come forward to recommend it.
I expected that by then the battle situation in Taiyuan would be difficult, and Tong Guan would be in command in Taiyuan Mansion, and he might not be able to withstand Wanyan Zonghan's troops.
As long as Xinzhou and Daizhou fall, the army can directly attack Taiyuan Prefecture and surround the entire Taiyuan Prefecture.
By that time, Tong Guan was afraid that he would never be able to sit still.
Wanyan Zonghan's army in front is not an opponent yet, but there is another strange army from Zhending Mansion outflanking the rear. With Tong Taifu's nature, no matter who can intercept this rare Jin army in Zhending Mansion at this time, he Will be appointed.
What Gaokan has to wait for is that opportunity.
Once Zhending Mansion was obtained, he would immediately purge his troops and split his troops into two groups, one going straight to Taiyuan to reinforce Tong Guan, and the other going north to raid Wanyan Zonghan's hometown.
This is why Gao Kan did not take Yan Qing with him when he left Zhending Mansion, but asked him to travel lightly and sneak into the northern wall alone.
Without these preparations, even if Gao Kan had soldiers at his disposal, he would not have the confidence to really cut off Wanyan Zonghan's retreat.
After all, the combat effectiveness of Zhao Song's official army was still far behind that of the Jin army, which was at its peak.
The gap in hard power determines that Gaokan can only use cunning tactics to catch the opponent by surprise in order to achieve success.
As long as he can defeat Yuzhou before Wanyan Zonghan returns to his army and rely on the cities in various places in Yuzhou to hold on, Gaokan will have the confidence to use the power of the two places to deal with this famous general of the Jin Kingdom for several years.
