Song-Ming -> Romance of the Three Kingdoms -> Liu Bei Rescues Kong Rong At Beihai; Lu Bu Defeats Cao Cao Near Puyang -> 24

二人应诺。陈宫急入见曰：“将军弃兖州，欲何往乎？”布曰：“吾欲屯兵濮阳，以成鼎足之势。”宫曰：“差矣。薛兰必守兖州不住。此去正南一百八十里，泰山路险，可伏精兵万人在彼。曹兵闻失兖州，必然倍道而进，待其过半，一击可擒也。”布曰：“吾屯濮阳，别有良谋，汝岂知之！”遂不用陈宫之言，而用薛兰守兖州而行。

The two accepted. But Chen Gong, the strategist, came in hastily, saying, "General, you are going away. Whither?" "I am going to camp my troops at Puyang, to establish an ox-horn vantage." "You are making a mistake," said Chen Gong. "The two you have chosen to defend this city are unequal to the task. For this expedition remember that about sixty miles due south, on the treacherous road to the Taishan Mountains, is a very advantageous position where you should place your best men in ambush. Cao Cao will hasten homeward by double marches when he hears what has happened. If you strike when half his troops have gone past this point, you may seize him." Said Lu Bu, "I am going to occupy Puyang and see what develops. How can you guess my big plan?" So Lu Bu left Xue Lan in command at Yanzhou and went away.
