In Qingzhou, Cao's army had 50,000 troops stationed, and the chief general was Cao Ren, who was also Cao Cao's cousin. Cao Ren was also a very famous general in history. He was also a first-class general in Cao's army and stood at the forefront and made great achievements in military strategy. In particular, Cao Ren made certain achievements in military strategy and was good at deploying troops.

When Cao Cao led his troops to attack Guandu, he asked Cao Ren to guard the enemy strictly, but did not allow Cao Ren to take major military operations in Qingzhou; Cao Ren also stationed the three armies mainly in Beihai County, with the purpose of course to prevent the attack of the Donglai Luning Army; Linzi also stationed 20,000 troops, and the two places were not far away, so reinforcements were available at any time.

Donglai was Lu Xun, a subordinate of Lu Ning, led 20,000 troops to station. He also had the East China Sea Fleet under Lu Ning on the North and South Islands, and also had many soldiers. After receiving the order from the General Staff Department, Lu Xun immediately carried out pre-war planning for Beihai, Linzi and other places.

Lu Xun also understood that if he wanted to attack Beihai and Linzi, he would not have enough troops. It would be better to transfer Cao's army out of the field to fight, but would Cao's army go out of the city to fight?

There is no need to question Lu Xun's ability. In history, Lu Xun burned the army of 500,000 to ashes with a huge torch, which reduced Liu Bei's strength from then on, and did not recover his vitality until Liu Bei's death; otherwise Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition might really succeed.

Although Lu Xun was young, under the education of the Military Academy and under the indoctrination of Lu Ning, his ability had long surpassed that of Lu Xun in history. Otherwise, Lu Ning would not dare to let Lu Xun lead his army to station in Donglai independently, which was also a very important military place.

In fact, after Lu Xun came to Donglai, he knew that sooner or later he would attack Beihai, Linzi and other places. Lu Xun was planning this matter a few years ago.

Beihai was originally Kong Rong's territory, but later he was deceived by Cao Cao. When Kong Rong was in Beihai, Lu Ning's industries had some industries in Beihai, and there were several large villas, which were not under Lu Ning's name on the surface. Lu Xun was Lu Ning's adopted son, and after he arrived in Beihai, he also told Lu Xun about some of the situation.

More than a year ago, Lu Xun sent someone to secretly dig tunnels from a villa in Beihai. The tunnel was several thousand meters long and went straight to a farm in the suburbs. This was a passage that Lu Xun planned and originally wanted to continue digging another tunnel in Linzi city, but before he could do it, the situation changed.

Lu Xun had only 20,000 troops under his command. If he was attacking Beihai at the same time and Linzi, his troops would be in short supply. He could only consider raiding Linzi first, and then sneaking into Beihai through tunnels, so that the attack effect could be achieved. However, if he wanted to attack Linzi, it was really difficult to use troops in the middle.

After thinking about it, Lu Xun still felt that he should attack Linzi first. The passage could only allow warships from the north and south islands to transport troops from the sea. If he attacked Beihai first, then Linzi would not be easy to attack. After all, Linzi is the capital of Qingzhou, with tall and thick walls, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Lu Xun summoned his generals and school to study combat plans and fully listen to everyone's opinions. This is also the glorious tradition of Lu Ningjun. Before each battle, his generals and school will let them express their opinions. This can gather the strengths of the masses and cultivate their generals and school to use their brains more and improve their military quality.

Wang Ji said: "General Lu, if you attack Linzi first, it is a word fast. You must achieve the effect of sneak attack. Otherwise, once the war is delayed, the Cao army in the North Sea will pounce on us, and then our lack of troops will be reflected."

Linzi and Beihai are not far away, and Lu Xun also knew that if the sneak attack cannot be successful, it would become a stalemate, which is not conducive to combat. Now, taking advantage of Cao Cao's army to attack Guandu is the best opportunity to win Qingzhou in one fell swoop; if it is missed, it will be difficult.

Lu Xun said: "We have some hidden powers in Linzi City, which will be mobilized at that time; the key question is who will lead troops to sneak into Linzi City, which is the important question."

Wang Shuang said: "I'll go!"

Lu Xun looked at Wang Shuang and was also satisfied. After all, he sneaked into Linzi City and had limited troops and had to be responsible for opening the city gate. This is not an easy task. Once exposed, he would be surrounded by Cao's army. Lu Xun would not be very confident in Wang Shuang's combat power.

Lu Xun said: "Wang Shuang, you can't bring too many soldiers to sneak into Linzi City. At most, there are dozens of people. With the help of the city, you will only have more than a hundred men under your command at that time, but the difficulties will be great. You must open the city gate and hold on for a while before the army can arrive."

Wang Shuang said: "General Lu, let's go to heart! Complete the task in one career."

Wang Ji and Wang Shuang were both graduated from the Jinyang Army. Although they were older than Lu Xun and were also Lu Xun's classmates. When Lu Xun came to Donglai, Lu Xun specially asked him to come from the General Staff Department.

Lu Xun knew that the defenders in Linzi were Xia Houjie and Yan Ming, and they were only mediocre in Cao's army, but Xia Houjie was deeply trusted by Lao Cao, so Cao Ren handed over Linzi's defense to him. In addition, we have not taken any action, so as long as we are cautious, we should succeed.

Lu Xun said: "Then let's make all kinds of preparations in the past few days and launch a sneak attack on Linzi City in five days. Wang Shuang will bring people into the city tomorrow and make the necessary preparations. It will depend on you when the time comes."

Wang Shuangdao: "Abide by the order!"

According to the scheduled plan, Lu Xun and Wang Ji led 20,000 troops to transport the ship immediately. After sailing for several hours, Lu Xun's army disembarked in an orderly manner, then cage the war horses and wrapped them in cloth strips on the horse's hooves. The army quietly advanced to the east gate of Linzi City several miles away and hidden, waiting for the city's response.

Wang Shuang, his dozens of soldiers and spies in the city lurking into Linzi City, had more than a hundred people lurking in a yard hundreds of meters away from the East City Gate. The weapons needed were ready and all preparations were complete, so I was waiting for the time to arrive.

The Cao army soldiers in Linzi City were basically reorganized by the original Yellow Turban Army. They have not experienced any war since the reorganization. It was just that Yuqian’s subordinates trained for a period of time. There has not been any war in Qingzhou for so many years, which has made these Cao army soldiers lazy.

The main general of the city, Xia Houjie, was a young man, and was lustful and greedy for money. Especially after becoming the main general of the Linzi city, he was extremely arrogant. When he saw a beauty, he would find a way to get it. Although Cao Ren ordered to strengthen his defense, no new situation happened in the past few days. Xia Houjie, Yan Ming and his soldiers relaxed and would not have thought that there would be a large army to attack today.

At the fifth day of the day, it was the time when people slept the most well in the day, and it was also the time for the most relaxed defense. Wang Shuang brought more than a dozen soldiers to the armor of Cao's soldiers, dressed up as Cao's soldiers and walked out of the big characters and slowly walked towards Gongcheng Gate; while more than a hundred other subordinates had long been hiding near the East City Gate, and their weapons were also hidden in their clothes, waiting for the opportunity to move.

When Wang Shuang and his more than ten soldiers walked slowly to the gate of Dongcheng, the soldiers on duty in Cao Jun asked, "What are you doing?"

A soldier dressed as Cao's army under Wang Shuang's hands said in local dialect: "Parliament."

The Cao Jun soldier on duty said, "Is he still patrolling so late?"

The soldier smiled and said, "Brother, my life is miserable? I heard that General Xia Hou asked us to strengthen our vigilance and strictly prevent Lu Ning's army from going to the city to carry out damage. There is no way."

Wang Shuang took the opportunity to lean on the soldiers on duty of Cao's army. Before the Cao's soldiers could react, Wang Shuang covered the mouth of Cao's soldiers with his left hand, hugged the head of Cao's soldiers and gently exerted force, and Cao's soldiers ascended to heaven. When another Cao's soldiers on duty saw something and were about to shout, a soldier under Wang Shuang raised his right hand, and three crossbow arrows shot out from his sleeve like lightning, hitting the chest of Cao's soldiers.

After dealing with the soldiers on duty at Cao's army, Wang Shuang waved his hand back and his subordinates who had been hiding hundreds of meters long, rushed towards the city gate quickly; while Wang Shuang left two subordinates to wait at the city gate. If there were Cao's soldiers at the city gate, they would immediately solve the problem. Wang Shuang took several soldiers and quickly killed the city wall, of course, the purpose was to put down the scarf bridge.
