Cao Qi's advice still reminded Gao Kan. He was cautious in temperament. He was not prepared at first. After listening to Cao Qi's words, he immediately felt that there were spies of the Jin Army all over the wilderness and mountains and forests. In this wilderness, he was afraid that he would not take advantage of the big army. He was fast asleep and rushed out brazenly.
So after Cao Qi walked out of the camp, he quickly chased him out and called him to stop him.
Hearing Gao Kan's call, Cao Qi hurriedly stopped, turned around and asked, "Master, do you have anything else to say?"
"I wish General Cao had reminded me just now. I was so enlightened that I had been negligent before remembering that I had underestimated the golden band of soldiers and horses in Cigu Town. Now that the bandit enemy knew that the army was out of Lingshou, even if they did not dare to attack by force, there would be spies along the way. Peeping, the army hastily set up camp tonight, and after thinking about it, I still feel that it is better to take more precautions."
Gao Kan explained, and then said: "Thank you, General Cao, for going there and selecting elite soldiers from the army. They will be spread out ten miles away within the area where the army is stationed. Secret sentries will be deployed on all sides. If any abnormality is discovered, report it immediately!"
"Yes, sir, don't worry, my subordinates will make arrangements right away." Cao Qi responded immediately.
After he left, Gao Kan felt a little relieved and asked someone to fetch Lin Chong.
Lin Chong came to the commander's tent and paid homage: "Master, I've called my subordinates to come down. Do you have any instructions?"
"Instructor Lin, please sit down quickly. General Cao came over earlier and I discussed with him. Fortunately, he reminded me that I wanted to be prepared for the Jin army in Cigu to attack at night. I asked him to send people as secret sentries to disperse around the army station."
With a smile on his face, Gao Kan asked Lin Chong to sit down and continued: "With Master Lu and Coach Yang watching over Zhending Mansion, there must be no danger. I thought about calling it perfect, so I simply reported the situation of the enemy forces in Cigu Town. We are also watching them to death. I originally wanted to ask Coach Lin to take action in person, but the special envoys and horses have seen you there and are afraid that you might disappear midway and make them suspicious."
When Lin Chong heard this, he said: "Don't worry, sir, I will go and select reliable personnel and send them out at night."
"This is one, and the other is to select more manpower and distribute horses and weapons. First, we can detect the movements of the Jin army along the way. Second, if the Jin army still cannot retreat, we must take the initiative to lure them to fight."
Gao Kan thought in his mind that all the plots could not be fully realized by the enemy. If the enemy did not move, he would force them to move.
Therefore, this time we went to the direction of Cigu Town to investigate the movements of the Jin Army. We needed more soldiers and horses, and they also needed to have a certain ability to engage in battle.
It was impossible for the Jin Army to remain completely unmoved by the news that Cigugu Town had been dispersed previously.
It's just possible that they were reluctant to leave Cigu Town out of caution or other strategic intentions. However, if a small group of Song Army cavalry dared to wander in front of them, it would be impossible for the Jin people to be arrogant and restrained.
After listening to Gao Kan's words, Lin Chong said: "My subordinates understand, so go and arrange the manpower."
After a slight nod, Gao Kan asked again: "Is there any report from the caretaker of the special envoy's carriage and horses?"
"My subordinates just went over and asked. They said that except for the special envoys and eunuchs who were having a hard time during the long march, they were still not satisfied after calling many servants and settling them down, and all the generals who had gone there were beaten and scolded. Other than that, there was nothing else. Yes." Lin Chong replied.
Hearing this, Gao Kan felt happy.
This is what he wants.
The leaders of these people sent by Tong Guan were all young eunuchs. Most of them were originally following Tong Guan, an old traitor.
These people are used to being pampered and arrogant, so how can they suffer?
That is to say, the marching speed was slow on the first day. Although it was over mountains and ridges, it was not a serious military rush. They couldn't bear it. If the marching speed was faster, they would be even more unbearable.
Gao Kan expected that after sending it out the next day, the special envoys would come to talk to him.
Thinking in his mind, he said: "Don't worry about them. Just give them whatever they want. In short, I'll serve you well. Wait until they can't bear it and want to separate from the army."
"Yes, I understand."
Of course Lin Chong knew the virtues of those eunuchs and traitors. In Bianliang, Tokyo, he often saw them in the Forbidden Army camp.
You don't need to think about it to know that when the army sets off tomorrow, the special envoy's carriage and horses will definitely not be able to keep up. At that time, the army will inevitably be urged to go ahead, and they will go alone.
If there is peace in the world, and the name of Tong Taifu is watching over the Song Dynasty, he will be able to do whatever he wants with arrogance.
However, the current situation is in chaos, and the Jin army is behind them. Without the army and only the guards, those eunuchs are meat on the Jin people's chopping board and can be slaughtered cleanly at any time.
Gao Kan actually had something to say but didn't tell Lin Chong. He deliberately asked people to lure the Jin army stationed in Cigu Town to chase him. This was just a calculation.
Once the eunuchs on the special envoy's trip leave the army and don't go on the road together, and are attacked and killed by the Jin army, they have nothing to do with him.
Everything was arranged properly, so there was no words to say all night.
Early on the next morning, Gaokan specially asked someone to send an order in advance for the entire army to pack up and prepare to set off.
The eunuchs in the camp on the special envoy's side were still sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard a noise outside. They woke up and came out of the camp to take a look, cursing.
When he saw the army running outside, he became very angry.
The order for the entire army to break camp was issued. Within a tea break, Gaokan received the report and the special envoy invited him over.
At that time, Gao Kan was confirming the march route and the situation of each battalion in the army with Lin Chong and Cao Qi. When he heard the report from outside, he was secretly happy.
"Go back and report to the special envoy, and tell me that I will be there immediately."
After greeting the man who came to report, Gao Kan turned to Cao Qi and said: "General Cao, we are going to proceed according to the originally agreed route. It is better for you to lead the front army to send out the advance first, and then speed up the march after the rear army has caught up with the report."
"Yes." Cao Qi cupped his fists and bowed, then went out to lead the troops and set off.
Turning his face, Gao Kan said to Lin Chong: "Send another small group of people to catch up with the people who went to Cigu Town last night. Tell them to lead the Jin army in the direction of the special envoy after they have led them out."
"Sir, if this is the case, it will be difficult for their soldiers and horses to survive under the Jin Army. By then, Master Tong will..."
Lin Chong's expression changed when he heard this. He had previously thought that if those eunuchs did not go with the army, Jin Jun would be in great danger, but he did not expect that Gao Kan would deliberately lure Jin Jun to find them.
If this is the case, this group of people may not survive.
Those eunuchs will die when they die, but by that time, Gao Kan may not be able to explain to Tong Guan.
Hearing this, Gao Kan smiled and said: "Not going with the army is an order from the special envoy, and I did not abandon them intentionally. As for the Jin Army, I can't mobilize it. If I leave the army, I will ask the Jin Army to cover it up. What does it have to do with me?"
"Tong Taifu is really furious. Even if I risk all my troops, I will definitely make the gold thief pay with his blood!"
Upon hearing Gao Kan's words, Lin Chong could not understand the meaning.
If the special envoy Tong Guan sent to deliver the order asked the Jin army to kill them all, and the battle situation in Zhending Prefecture was so critical, Gaokan must first pacify the enemy forces in Zhending Prefecture, so that he could have enough energy to reinforce the pacification army, and then send troops to Taiyuan Prefecture. .
Otherwise, even the Jin Army of Zhending Prefecture could not be pacified. When the army entered the pacification army, didn't they want to ask the enemy to double-team?
