This plan was dangerous, especially for someone not used to close combat. But if his gambit allowed Lord Cao Cao to attain an amazing victory, then it was worth it. After all, history did always remember the strategems of crazy battles. The strategist rode towards the front lines, having found enough time had passed for preparations to be complete. When he was near eyeshot of Lu Bu, he used his power of illusion to make him appear to be Lord Cao Cao on his noble steed. When he was within earshot of the men atop the gate, he called out in a mimicry of his Lord's voice.

Although he didn't have to achieve victory in this fight, he had to last long enough for the forces to breach the city. It was unfortunate that he couldn't get another to preform this ruse, as he knew no one else of similar illusionary skill that he could trust.
