ANSWER
Confederate Commander Albert Sydney Johnston planned to stop and destroy Grant's Army which were advancing towards Corinth.
He succeeded in concentrating about 47,000 men at Corinth without Grant's inkling.
The battle plan was that of a devastating, sudden attack against the Federal Army, before it could be joined by Buell's Army coming up from Nashville. The Confederate right wing should try to envelope Grant's left wing pushing the Federals away from Pittsburg Landing westward, avoiding them to be supported by the gun boats' heavy artillery.
The strategic task was to prevent the Union from seizing Corinth and Memphis, interrupting the vital railroad Memphis- Corinth-Chattanooga-Knoxville-Lynchburg and extending the Union control on the Mississippi.
The offensive was at the beginning successful; some Union divisions were literally smashed but Grant, also tanks to the gallant behavior of his subordinate commanders and rank and files managed to overcome the dangerous situation. The Confederate's plan was frustrated, their field commander was killed and the way to the conquest of Mississippi Valley was secured.
