"How hateful!"
Yuan Shao clenched his fists, and his face was somewhat pale from anger.
"General, I have a plan that I don't know if it will work.”
Lu Zhi turned to look at Cao Cao and asked softly,""What plans does Meng De have to teach me?”
"The reason why Nine Gates City is so difficult to conquer is because the Yellow Turban Army is holed up in Nine Gates City. If we can find a way to lure the Yellow Turban Army out of the Nine Gates City, even if the Yellow Turban Army that we lure out is only a part of it, it will be much easier for us to conquer the Nine Gates after we wipe out this part of the Yellow Turban Army.”
"Lure the snake out of its hole? This plan was feasible, but Meng De had no idea how to lure the enemy out.”
"We can deliberately create chaos in the camp tonight. The generals of the Yellow Turban Army will definitely not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They will definitely send soldiers to attack our camp at night, and once they do, we will give them a head-on blow.”
"Alright, let's do as Meng De says.”
Lu Zhi immediately gave the order and arranged the division of labor.
Not long after nightfall, a commotion broke out in the camp of the government troops. There were also faint sounds of fighting and cursing.
It had to be said that Cao Cao's plan was quite brilliant. If it was another opponent, the other party might have been deceived.
Unfortunately, Cao Cao had overlooked his opponent's ability.
Seeing the chaos in the main camp, Gao Sheng stood on the city wall, completely unmoved.
This was not because Gao Sheng was cautious in his use of troops, but because Gao Sheng did not discover any opportunities at all.
Gao Sheng did not have much ability. The only reason he was able to gain Zhang Bao's favor was because he was loyal to Zhang Bao. He would carry out Zhang Bao's orders with determination, just like how Zhang Bao had ordered Gao Sheng to guard Nine Gates City. Other than guarding the city, Gao Sheng would not do anything else.
Therefore, Cao Cao's plan failed. The government troops made a ruckus into the middle of the night, but there was still no sign of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Can we think of a way to dig a tunnel and sneak into Nine Gates City, then take down Nine Gates City from the inside and outside?”
Dong Zhuo shook his head.
"This plan will not work at all because the area around Nine Gates City is very humid and the terrain is very loose. The tunnel dug out will easily collapse.”
"I heard that there are many surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army in Lord Dong's camp. I wonder if we can use these surrendered soldiers to persuade the Yellow Turban Army in the city to surrender.”
As soon as Zhao Rong finished speaking, Dong Zhuo and the others shook their heads.
" Right now, we're at our wits 'end. The Yellow Turban Army has occupied Nine-Gate City to keep the enemy out. They're not at the end of their rope yet, so persuading them to surrender is useless."
"Actually, it's not difficult to take down Nine Gates City!”
Just as everyone was at a loss, Dong Song, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
"Oh, I wonder what plan General Dong has?”
"We'll attack from the east of Nine Gates City.”
Lu Zhi had thought that Dong Song would give some constructive suggestions, but when he heard Dong Song's words, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.
"The terrain to the east of Nine Gates City is not conducive to the army. If we want to attack from the east, the army will not be able to gather. The army charged towards Nine Gates City bit by bit. This was no different from courting death.”
"What I mean is that we only need a hundred men to attack Nine Gates City from the east.”
"A hundred people?"
Lu Zhi sneered at Dong Song," You mean to say that you can take down Nine Gates City with a team of 100 people? Do you think everyone is as brave as you?”
Lu Zhi's words filled the tent and the generals couldn't help but laugh.
"Although a hundred men team can't conquer Nine Gate City, there's a way to enter it. Once they entered the city, they could find a way to find the enemy's treasury and burn all the enemy's rations and equipment. In the end, these hundred people could still take advantage of the enemy's lack of morale to cooperate with the army to take down Nine Gates City.”
When everyone's gaze fell on him, Dong Song continued unhurriedly,"The Yellow Turban Army in Nine-Gate City has placed the focus of their defense on the north side of Nine-Gate City. The defense on the east side of Nine-Gate City is weak. Tonight, we can dispatch the army to launch a feint attack in the north to attract the attention of the Yellow Turban Army, and I'll quietly sneak into Nine Gates City from the east.”
"After I bring my men into the city, I will find the Yellow Turban Army's treasury as soon as possible and set it on fire.”
"When the treasury catches fire, the Yellow Turban Army will be in chaos. And once the Yellow Turban army is in chaos, you will switch from feint to real attack. When the time comes, we'll take advantage of the chaos in the morale of the Yellow Turban Army and work together from the inside and outside. It'll be easy to take down Nine Gates City.”
"This plan is feasible!"
Hearing the sect member's words, Lu Zhi looked at Dong Song and said,""If I give you this mission, can you guarantee that it will be completed?”
"I have a condition to guarantee the completion of this mission.”
"What condition?"
"I want to select a group of elite soldiers.”
