Wu Yong's strategy of hiding dogs in the nest was successful.
The origin of this strategy can be traced back to a kind of dog from ancient times. This kind of dog is good at catching prey and often lurks in the den of wild beasts, waiting for a sudden attack when the wild beast comes back. Wu Yong's strategy was to learn from this dog's hunting method, allowing the enemy to fall into the trap unknowingly.
In the novel "Water Margin", Wu Yong used three brothers, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi, to pretend to fish, secretly ambush behind the enemy, and wait for the opportunity to lure the enemy deeper. At the same time, he asked Hu Yanzhuo to pretend to be a traitor and lure the enemy to come. The enemy troops didn't know what the plan was and chased them all the way. In the end, they were killed by the Liangshan heroes who were ambushing on both sides.
Therefore, it can be said that Wu Yong's strategy of hiding dogs in the nest is successful in the novel.
