The Qin army and the imperial army had several small-scale battles at the border, all of which ended with the defeat of the imperial army, and the Qin army failed to expand the victory. The imperial army relied on the earthen fort formation and retreated to the earthen fort formation at any time when the battle was unfavorable, which gave the Qin army generals a headache.
The leaders of the corps headed by Su Dingfang are now worried. If the Qin army is willing to pay the price of injuring 1,000 enemies and 800 of its own, it may not be impossible to break through the earthen fort formation, but this is not what they want.
Su Dingfang and others were discussing countermeasures in the tent, when suddenly a Jinyiwei came to report: "Marshal Su, I brought someone, who may be the key to breaking the deadlock this time."
Su Dingfang stood up hurriedly: "Oh? Bring this person up quickly."
In less than a moment, a thin young monk who looked only 17 or 18 years old and wore a shabby monk's robe was brought in.
Looking at the Qin army generals who were wearing armor and looked fierce, the little monk was obviously frightened. He saluted with some trembling and said, "I am Konghui, the monk, and I am honored to meet you generals."
Su Dingfang and others did not say anything. The Jinyiwei said, "General Su, this person is a monk from Lingquan Temple in Xiazhou. The abbot of Lingquan Temple is Zhiyuan, a high monk who usually helps the poor people around. He also met Master Ji Gang of our Jinyiwei. Zhiyuan highly respects our Qin army and strongly supports the Qin army to assign Xiazhou to it."
Su Dingfang pondered and said, "This Lingquan Temple is very important to our battle this time. What does it have to do with the matter? "
"The location of Lingquan Temple is in Hulu Town, east of Chiyan Gobi. The monks in the temple are very familiar with the environment of Chiyan Gobi, especially Konghui, who has crossed Chiyan Gobi on foot many times. Master Zhiyuan heard about the current predicament of our army and specially sent Konghui to lead the way for our army. If our army can send a surprise force to directly cross the Gobi and kill to the rear of the imperial army, the earthen fort formation will fall without attack. "
The Qin army generals present all showed joy on their faces. According to this Jinyiwei, as long as they can successfully pass through Chiyan Gobi, they will be able to win this battle.
You know, the Chiyan Gobi is rarely visited by people and is a natural obstacle. Ordinary people will only get lost and end up with no body left. Therefore, the imperial army did not send heavy troops to guard the Chiyan Gobi, but only a patrol team of 200 people, pretending to do so.
Su Dingfang nodded, staring at Kong Hui and said, "I wonder how the young master got from Hulu Town to my Qin army camp?"
Kong Hui swallowed his saliva, calmed down and said, "General, the war situation here has been reported to Hulu Town. After hearing about it, my master sent me across the Chiyan Gobi Desert to help the Qin army solve their problems."
Su Dingfang stared at Kong Hui with burning eyes. Although he showed panic in his eyes, he did not dodge at all. He nodded imperceptibly and said, "Come on, prepare vegetarian food for young master Kong Hui and prepare a tent for young master to have a good rest. Young master has worked hard on the road."
Kong Hui hesitated again and again, and finally chose to give up. After thanking him, he left under the guidance of the Qin soldiers.
Su Dingfang said slowly: "What do you think about this matter?"
The impatient Gao Aocao said excitedly: "Marshal, this is really a godsend opportunity. In this way, our army can go around the enemy without bloodshed, and the trouble of the earthen fort formation will be solved."
Xin Qiji shook his head calmly and said: "Marshal, this matter is too sudden, be careful of fraud."
Li Siye pondered for a moment and said: "From the behavior of this little monk, he is indeed a monk from an ordinary temple, but Qiji's concerns are also reasonable. This Lingquan Temple has never had any connection with my Qin army. Even if he has some friendship with Ji Gang, he should not take such a big risk to send someone to lead my Qin army. . "
"In my opinion, there may be a trick in this matter, or it may be a godsend as Kong Hui said. Since we can't tell, it's better to take a risky move and send a vanguard team to follow Kong Hui through the Chiyan Gobi Desert, and then send a team of supporting cavalry to rush to help at any time if something goes wrong. This way, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Gao Changgong also nodded and said: "The vanguard troops will bring signal smoke, send signals at any time, and leave marks along the way. My large group of people can cross the Chiyan Gobi Desert with the marks. Even if this is a conspiracy of the court, it is impossible to swallow the vanguard troops in an instant. There is enough time for the supporting troops to support. "
Su Dingfang's mind turned quickly. Now that the Qin army is almost
It is not a solution to drag the army here. Since there is no other choice, why not give it a try? As long as it is carefully arranged, there will be no big problem.
With the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, only by sending ten times the force of the vanguard can the vanguard be threatened.
The next morning, just after dawn, Gao Aocao called up his men and horses, and the little monk Konghui also rode a horse and set off towards the Chiyan Gobi in the north.
Gao Aocao asked for it several times, and Su Dingfang could not afford to lose his face. He could only send Gao Aocao to lead 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard, repeatedly reminding them to be careful and evacuate immediately if there is anything wrong.
It takes three days to cross the Chiyan Gobi even with war horses. Gao Aocao and his cavalry only carried five days of rations and clean water. Under the leadership of Konghui, they prepared to cross the Chiyan Gobi and get new supplies in Hulu Town.
At the entrance of Chiyan Gobi Desert, a commander of 100 soldiers of the imperial army gathered several small leaders in the camp and drank and ate meat happily.
"Commander Gu, it's really good for us to be stationed here. We have wine and meat, and we don't have to face the fierce Qin army. If we have a few more women, it will also make us feel relaxed."
Gu Yue said with sleepy eyes: "It is still wise for me to station you at the entrance of Chiyan Gobi. There is not even a ghost. You live in drunkenness and dream every day, and let others fight with the Qin army on the battlefield. It's really as happy as a god."
"Then General Wang Song said that our commander has no ambition. In this day and age, can ambition be enough to make a living? Being able to survive is the hard truth. We don't seek merit, but we seek no mistakes. With such a small salary, why risk our lives?"
"Come on, keep drinking!"
At the sentry post at the entrance of the Gobi, there are only a few soldiers standing guard here. It is late autumn, and the cold wind blows, making the soldiers on guard curled up and shiver.
"Damn it, why should we stand guard in this damn place when they are warm in the tent?"
"Stop talking, we didn't give the captain money, so we offended him. It's good enough that he didn't send us to the front line to fight the Qin army."
"This damn place still needs people to guard it, and there is not even a ghost. I think he is deliberately making fun of us."
