The Sixth:Clamor in the East, Attack in the West

In any battle the element of surprise can provide an overwhelming advantage. Even when face to face with an enemy, surprise can still be employed by attacking where he least expects it. To do this you must create an expectation in the enemy's mind through the use of a feint.

Story:At the end of the Eastern Han, there was a peasant uprising that became known as the "Yellow Scarves Rebellion". The government sent Zhu Jun to suppress the insurgents of the Yellow Scarves Rebellion who were then approaching Wan Cheng. Zhu Jun's army scored an advantage: they had heavily barricaded Wan Cheng. Radicals of the Yellow Scarves Rebellion were packed together like turtles in a jar and appeared to be in great disarray. Zhun Jun said that his army was to attack the southwest part of Wan Cheng and then created a big display to mislead the Yellow Scarves Rebellion. When the news reached them, the Yellow Scarves Rebellion was thrown into chaos. The entire army rushed to the southwest to defend themselves. But little did they know that the message sent by Zhu Jun was bogus. It was created to deceive them. His intended target was the city's northeast where, as it turned out, no one was present to defend. Wan Cheng was overpowered and taken into possession by Zhu Jun soon.
