Chapter 2178 Secret Operation
Although Guo Jia's plan was wonderful, there were many loopholes, and the troops were dispersed too much. The Han army was determined to concentrate on attacking the whole way. This so-called encirclement became a joke.
If he can come from multiple directions, I will go all the way, what can you do?
More importantly, coordination. In this era when communications are basically yelling, it is difficult to know where to go ahead and what to do behind them at first. If something happens, it will affect the overall situation, this is not a joke.
Guo Jia obviously thought carefully and said without panic when he heard this: "As long as you are secretive, we might as well launch a few more attacks during this period and take the opportunity to attract the attention of the Han army. If necessary, you can lose a few games to allow the Han army to take advantage of it, giving them a feeling that the Wei army is just like this, thereby increasing their confidence in keeping the public security. If you have confidence, you will naturally be reluctant to retreat."
Cao Ren nodded and said, "Indeed, the main forces of the Han army are now under our noses, and it is still certain to entangle them. Even if one or two small groups of Han army escape, it will not affect the overall situation. However, interspersing such detours requires extremely experienced generals. I will transfer Yu Jin and Li Dian back."
"Absolutely not."
Guo Jia hurriedly stopped him and said, "Even a veteran cannot use this matter. You must use a young general with unknown reputation. Yu Jin, Li Dian, is not famous all over the world. The more famous he is, the more he will be paid attention to by the Han army. They disappear for a long time. Can the Han army not be suspicious? Only young generals with unknown reputation will not attract attention. The most important thing about circumcision and detour is secret."
Cao Ren frowned and said, "Who do you think is suitable to use?"
It is not only unknown, but also the ability to command a large army. It is really difficult to find such a person. After fighting for decades, those with ability have long been famous all over the world.
As for Cao Chong's little guys, he dared not use them. He was not Emperor Wu of Han, and Cao Chong and others were not Huo Qubing.
Guo Jia said: "Let Xiahou Shang go on the West Road. He has been in the Governor's Office and has not participated in the Southern Expedition. He should not attract attention. Wang Ling from the East Road, but he is in charge of government affairs in Xiling and has not appeared on the battlefield. If he can find a similar person to pretend, he should be able to hide it from the Han army for a while. Both armies rushed to Linyuan. After the meeting, Wang Ling was unified in command. In addition, once the large detour was implemented, our troops would be tense. I immediately sent a messenger to Luoyang as quickly as possible and transferred 200,000 reserves."
Guo Jia was also frustrated when he mentioned this. What is the matter with the supervising war hiding thousands of miles away?
Cao Ren said: "Then let's take action. It should not be difficult to draw 50,000 people from each army."
After the discussion, the messenger drove out of the city and headed straight for Luoyang. This time they received a dead order. Even if the engine was scrapped, they had to arrive in Luoyang as soon as possible.
The messenger left in a hurry, but Cao Ren and Guo Jia were not in a hurry at all. After asking Xiahou Shang to prepare, the following text disappeared.
The purpose of mobilizing a 50,000 army is simple, but it will take some effort to attract the attention of the Han army. More importantly, coordination is coordination. It is difficult for the army to control their situation after departure. Therefore, it must be considered in advance which route to take, how many miles to go every day, when to where to get to where to go, and a certain amount of reaction time must be left. If it cannot be formulated, it must be left for the front line to deal with it.
Fortunately, the people along the city and on both sides of the road were moved away, which provided great convenience for their hidden marches.
Most plans are good. Many problems do not lie in the plan itself, but in the process of execution. Therefore, Guo Jia is particularly cautious and repeatedly deduces the map, taking all possible changes into consideration, and ensuring that there is no mistake.
That night, Cao Ren recalled Yu Jin Li Dian, Le Jin Pang De and other major generals, and ordered them to launch frequent attacks on the Han army, but they should release more water and not really fight. They should also be careful not to let the other party break himself up, but they would make a joke.
The generals were so depressed that Guan Yu and Ma Chao were, who were so good at letting go. Even if they tried their best, they might not have done anything.
The strategic direction has been clear, and it depends on how to operate it. Yu Jin and Li Dian and others are veterans who have fought for many years, and they still have this ability.
In addition, the mobilization of troops was carried out. Each army dispatched a group of people to the agreed location to gather secretly, and then took action when Wang Ling arrived.
Wang Ling, Xiahou Shang and his two marching routes were different and their distances were different, but they had to meet at the same time, so the departure time was very particular.
Two days later, a car rushed into Xiling City and headed straight to the Jinyiwei Baihu House. Not long after, Baihu took two subordinates to the county magistrate's mansion to see Wang Ling.
The Jinyiwei Baihu arrived suddenly. Wang Ling thought that what he had done was exposed, so he rushed to the study room as soon as possible. After meeting and greeting each other, the Jinyiwei Baihu ran to the door and stretched out the door and looked out. He was sure that there was no one around to close the door and said, "Mr. Wang, Governor Cao has a secret mission for you."
Wang Ling asked in surprise: "What mission?"
Baihu looked at the two subordinates he brought. These two were Cao Ren's messengers. One of them handed Wang Ling a letter and said, "Mr. Wang, check it out."
Wang Ling took the letter and checked it several times, and then opened it and checked it out after confirming that the hot paint had not been destroyed. After reading it, he was overjoyed. There were so many generals of the Wei army, and he never dreamed that such an important task would fall on him, a civil servant. If he could succeed, he would become famous in one battle.
After all, Wang Ling is nearly fifty years old, so naturally he will not be as calm as a young man. Although he was happy, he did not show any signs of his face. He still said as usual: "I understand. I will start dealing with this matter. Thank you for your hard work."
The messenger was only responsible for delivering the letter, and was not sure about the specific content of the letter. He heard this and bowed his fists and left with the hundreds of households.
After they left, Wang Ling picked up matches and burned the letters in the ashtray. Even the paper ash was crushed into powder and completely destroyed them. After confirming them repeatedly, he left the study and rushed to the hall. When he walked halfway, he screamed and fell to the ground. The nearby servants rushed over when they heard the screams. Seeing Wang Ling lying on the ground, howling, hurriedly helped him to the bedroom and sent someone to find a doctor to treat him.
The county magistrate was sick, so the officials naturally had to come to visit him. Wang Ling took the opportunity to explain the matter and ordered his old servant to lie in the room to pretend to be sick. He took a few confidants out of the city late at night and rushed to Zhouling.
It is worth mentioning that the doctor came to help him treat his illness, but in order to prevent the news from leaking, he brought the doctor with him, calling it a call, and sent someone to inform the doctor's family to stay in the county magistrate's office for treatment during this period, and he had to wait until the county magistrate recovered before he could go back.
Old but not dead is a thief. Old guys like Wang Ling are all thiefs. They do things without leaking water. Any place that may reveal flaws will be strangled to death by him in advance.
This is also the reason why Cao Ren and Guo Jia valued him. The elderly are somewhat more reliable than young people like Cao Chong.
Since the war started, the Wei army's celestial women attacked everywhere like flowers. Zhouling had long returned to the hands of the Wei army, and the army that had detoured with Wang Ling also gathered in Zhouling.
