Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 39: Dong Zhuo’s Brilliant Strategy

Otherwise, they will quickly be surpassed by other alliances receiving assistance! This is something he doesn’t want to see.

"Good! Since everyone agrees, that’s settled! I heard from General Huang that the Inspector of Yuzhou, Wang Yun, will soon arrive at Julu County!"

"Wouldn’t that be better! The more people, the stronger we are!" a player laughed.

"No no no, accompanying Wang Yun is also Sword Wind!"

"Sword Wind!? Is that the player who has recently risen unexpectedly, rumored to be as formidable as an entire alliance?"

"Don’t overestimate others. I think this person is just temporarily lucky. Great Lord’ is a marathon! Even if he runs fast initially, he will surely tire out later!"

"But I heard that the Yuzhou Alliance, ’Wind Rules the World,’ is unstable in its top position because of a conflict with him. Shouldn’t we be more cautious? Besides, this person is here to help us. Let’s cooperate!"

Emperor Sword contemplated.

"Hmph! You being afraid doesn’t mean we’re afraid! We’ll show him our power when the time comes!"

...

"Ah-choo!"

Long Chen rubbed his nose.

Perplexed, how did he, a strong and robust young man, sneeze?

"My Lord! The Inspector invites you to the central army camp council."

Xu Chu bellowed with a loud voice.

As resonant as a bell, the entire room could hear it.

Hearing this, Long Chen didn’t hesitate much, tidied his robe, and went to the central army tent with Xu Chu.

As for Zhou Tai, who originally guarded Long Chen, he was assigned to train the soldiers in the camp by Long Chen. After all, compared to Zhou Tai, Xu Chu’s strength was stronger, making him more capable of defending.

Arriving at the central army tent.

Long Chen found Wang Yun already discussing military affairs with Huang Fusong, Zhu Jun, and dozens of generals inside the tent!

Seeing Long Chen arrive, Wang Yun quickly shook his hand and brought him to the two prominent generals.

"Ahaha, this is the hero I’ve often introduced to you all, Long Jueming!"

"Indeed extraordinary!"

Huang Fusong looked at Long Chen’s appearance with amazement and secretly admired him.

In the Han Dynasty, a man’s appearance was crucial; to hold an official position, one not only needed talent and virtue but also good looks.

The Yuan brothers, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, were both unusually handsome and very popular among the aristocratic youth.

Therefore, relying on his appearance and strong charisma, Long Chen left a very good impression on Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun.

"Come, young nephew, please sit!" Zhu Jun waved.

"Thank you, General!" Long Chen thanked with a fist gesture.

Seeing Zhu Jun being so generous to Long Chen, some other generals felt dissatisfied and snorted.

After all these years of risking their lives under Zhu Jun, they had never been treated so kindly.

When everyone was gathered, Huang Fusong stood up, bowed to everyone, and then solemnly said: "Currently, the Yellow Turban bandits have been completely surrounded by us! What’s left is how to attack and enter Guangzong City!"

"Now, let me talk about the specific problems we’ve encountered!"

"Firstly, Guangzong City is hundreds of feet high, extending several kilometers left and right! It’s easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

"The second issue is that Guangzong City holds millions of provisions, enough to sustain the Yellow Turban army for several years! However, they can afford to wait, but we can’t!"

"Our army’s provisions can only last for three months. If we can’t conquer Guangzong City within that time, we’ll be forced to retreat! Moreover, the Emperor has urgently ordered a hundred thousand to quickly take down the Yellow Turban army!"

"The third problem is the immense strength of the Yellow Turban army. Inside Guangzong City alone, there are over five hundred thousand Yellow Turban soldiers!"

"Well, the issues are laid out. Next, please speak your minds!"

Huang Fusong finished, adopting an attentive listening demeanor.

This approach seemed to be a norm, and all the generals were deeply engrossed in thinking.

However, in Long Chen’s mind, he silently marveled at the wisdom of one of the Three Heroes of the late Han Dynasty.

He accurately grasped the primary contradiction in the enemy and our forces, highlighting it from the start, ensuring everyone’s thinking wouldn’t deviate significantly.

Additionally, he encouraged collective thinking among the generals, fully mobilizing each leader’s subjective initiative, preparing for the subsequent plans and promoting the growth of these leaders themselves.

Having such a commander was a blessing for these generals! freёwebnovel.com

Not long after, a burly, dark-faced man stood up casually and said, "General Huang! I suggest concentrating our forces to attack the northern gate of the enemy city!"

"We have a total of seven hundred thousand troops, plus the forces of the extraordinary individuals, totaling around eight hundred thousand!"

"First, spread the message inside the city that our army totals one million five hundred thousand troops, making the soldiers inside the city panic, weakening the enemy’s morale."

"Then, position troops outside all four gates of Guangzong City, confusing the enemy about where our main attack will be."

"Finally, concentrate our eight hundred thousand troops to attack the northern gate of Guangzong City! This will surely lead us to victory in one battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause erupted in the tent.

A sense of satisfaction and enjoyment appeared on the burly man’s face, and even his protruding belly shook a bit.

"Great! This strategy is incredibly meticulous and brilliant!"

"I never expected Dong Zhongying to have such a plan! Impressive!"

Even Huang Fusong sitting in the main seat couldn’t help but applaud. "Zhongying! Well done, if this plan succeeds, your contribution will be remembered!"

At this moment, Long Chen was puzzled!

What in the world!?

Dong Zhongying? Wasn’t that Dong Zhuo?

At this time, the others still didn’t know that Dong Zhuo would become a great troublemaker in the future, but Long Chen knew!

He didn’t expect Dong Zhuo, who didn’t do much during the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Three Kingdoms, to shine so brightly this time.

This strategy he proposed made Long Chen have a new level of respect for him.

Starting with psychological warfare to weaken the enemy’s resolve, then a combination of true and false information, confusing the enemy’s judgment, and finally, focusing superior forces to attack one specific point.

It was simply perfect!

Long Chen even doubted if this strategy was proposed by Dong Zhuo himself or if there was someone else behind it!

Not to mention him, even Huang Fusong and Zhu Jun were amazed, let alone the others.

After all, Dong Zhuo was originally a poor and barren person from Liangzhou. Later, he rose to power, became a key figure for the Yuan family for four generations, and became the Inspector of Bingzhou.

Now, the people gathered here to collectively eliminate the Yellow Turban army.

Even so, in the eyes of the generals, this person was just a country bumpkin, a rustic fellow.

But today, he made a stunning move!

Indeed, people cannot be judged by appearance, nor can the ocean be measured by a bucket!
