Chapter 935

According to the information sent to Huangfu Chaobo by the shadow guards in Shouchun City, Shouchun city is slightly square, with urn city and qiaolou building. The system is strict. In the southeast and west of the city, there are moats, Feishui in the north, rivers in the four corners, and Shuiguan in the northeast and northwest. There are four gates in the city: Binyang gate in the East, Dinghu gate in the west, Tongfei gate in the South and Jinghuai gate in the north.

The perimeter of the wall of Shouchun city is about 30 Li. Under the wall, the wall is two or six feet high, seven feet wide at the bottom and two or three feet wide at the top. The wall is rammed with soil, the outside is pasted with bricks, and the lower part of the outer wall is built with stones several feet high. The outer wall of the city wall is pasted with bricks and stones. The walls are filled with glutinous rice juice mixed with lime, which is very firm. The old "iron city of Shouzhou" reputation.

The four gates of Shouchun city are all set up outside the city wall, and the inner and outer gate openings are of brick and stone top structure. The four gates of Shouchun are not on the same axis as the gate. The East urn city faces south, the West urn city gate faces north, the South urn city faces west, and the North urn city gate faces east, all of which are at 90 degree right angles to the gate on the plane. If you look down from the sky, an inverted "卍" shaped pattern is formed between the central axis of the four gates and the four urn city gates. This ingenious setting is based on the consideration of military defense: that is, after the enemy breaks through the urn, it needs to change its direction to attack the gate, and the garrison can take the opportunity to close the gate and beat the dog to destroy the enemy in the urn.

In addition to the outer city, Shouchun city also has the inner city and the imperial city. The outer city wall is about eight Li long, the inner city is about four Li long, while the imperial city is only two li long. Compared with Luoyang's Shili, Qili and Sili, the difference is not a bit.

Huangfu Chaobo believed that Cao Cao and sun CE were not only his own people, but also his own.

After each of the three armies arrived at Shouchun City, they did not attack the city immediately. Instead, they set up camp first, and then exchanged envoys among the three families. They were ready to have a meeting before the attack, so that the three families could better join forces to attack the city, and after the attack, they could better search for property without conflict. Of course, don't think that the three soldiers will strictly abide by the agreement after entering the city, but at least draw out a general area.

As a result, under the intense gaze of tens of thousands of troops in the city, cavalry went back and forth between the armies outside the city, and envoys kept coming and going. In fact, there are nearly 178000 troops in Shouchun City, while the three-way allied forces outside the city are only 300000. According to the truth, Yuan's army has a good chance of winning.

For example, the Anton army of Huangfu Chaobo, oh, it should have been called Luoyang army at that time. At that time, with less than 100000 troops, they carried 200000 troops of Lv Bu, Zhang Yang and Yuan Shu to attack. In the end, they not only defeated the three princes, but also captured tens of thousands of troops.

At present, Yuan Shu's army and the Allied troops who came to invade have more advantages than Luoyang's army, and it is reasonable to say that Yuan Shu's army has a good chance of winning. Unfortunately, the battlefield is never as simple as 1 + 1 = 2.

At present, there are 100000 troops of Huangfu Chaobo outside the city (in addition to the 80000 troops that initially went north from Shu County, Huangfu Chaobo ordered 20000 garrison troops to be drawn out of the occupied cities, making up a total of 100000 troops). Cao Cao's headquarters and Cao Hong's headquarters are 120000 troops. Sun CE's 60000 troops. If you add in tens of thousands of people and prisoners from each of the three families, there are more than 40 people.

Although Yuan Shu's army has a total of 178000 troops, of which nearly 100000 are elite, since Yuan Shu became emperor last year, Yuan Shu's army has been defeated in every battle, and then lost its territory in Runan, Guangling and xiapi. This year, it even lost Lujiang, which has been in business for several years.

Now less than a year and a half, the enemy has been under the capital, and the emperor is withered, far less than the spirit of the original emperor. What's more, the hundreds of thousands of troops at the time of being emperor now have less than 200000. The morale of the army is low. Tens of thousands of troops have no courage in the face of 300000 enemy troops outside the city.

Among the ten generals of Yuan Shu's army, Chen Ji, Yuan Yin, Liu Xun, Yuan Huan and Qiao Rui were either dead or captured. Now there is no news. Among the other generals, the prince Yuan Yao and the generals Yuan Si, Li Ling and Chen Lan have no news. Li Fengshang is the only one who can know, but because of Anton's fierce eyes, he has to guard the city tightly and dare not move lightly.

In today's Shouchun City, only general Ji Ling leads Lei Bo back to defend Shouchun. Oh, by the way, there is another one who can lead the army, that is the son-in-law Huang Yi, but Ji Ling is no longer willing to use him as a general.

These are not the most important. The important thing is that the three road princes who came in to besiege Shouchun are not easy to be compared with, and there are many wise and profound people around them. Therefore, it is basically impossible for yuan Shujun to expect the three road princes to coax each other. Whether Cao Cao, sun CE or Huangfu Chaobo, everyone's goal is very clear - to completely destroy Yuan Shu.

Of course, it's not exactly the same. Sun CE still has a necessary item, and Cao Cao is also looking at it. Huangfu Chaobo is determined to make a profit. Another purpose is to have a relationship with sun CE Lala and prepare to work together to overthrow Cao'an next year.

Because of this, the envoys of the three families went back and forth for several times, and finally the time and place of the meeting were confirmed.

It was a hill called gaojiagang, two Li south of Sunce's barracks. There was a plain on all sides. The three families agreed that the three masters would lead 1000 people each to the meeting place, and then each of them would lead a counselor and a military general to the meeting place.The most important thing is that both Cao Cao and Huangfu Chaobo do not want to go to the other party's territory. Cao Cao's suspiciousness is certainly impossible to put himself in danger. Huangfu Chaobo's words are not a big problem, but he does not want his subordinates to follow him to take risks. However, if it is a tripartite negotiation, it is impossible for him not to have his own military advisers. So at the end of the day, the two families had to suggest that the meeting place should be in the area controlled by sun cejun.

At the beginning of Shenshi in the afternoon, the three soldiers and horses escorted the meeting place where their Master arrived. Sun Qijun was in the north, Huangfu Chaobo was in the west, and Cao Cao's Department was in the East.

The three soldiers and horses stopped about a mile away from gaojiagang. The meeting place of gaojiagang was jointly arranged by the three soldiers, so there was no trap in advance.

After the three troops stopped, Huangfu Chaobo and his two subordinates rode to the meeting place at Gaogang.
