Chapter 938

On hearing this, Yuan Shu paid at least one month's wages and money. If this was done, the 170000 troops would have to spend 600000 to 700000 yuan. After thinking about it, he said, "one month's pay is too much. I'll take 200000 Guan out of the internal Treasury. The rest is not enough to be made up from the Treasury. Reward half a month's pay."

With that, he said to Ji Ling with a painful look on his face: "please make it clear to the soldiers that I will be rewarded a lot when I repel the enemy."

After hearing this, Ji Ling sighed in his heart. Half a month's salary is better than no reward. However, there was no color on his face, and he came forward again to thank him.

When Yuan Shu looked at the officials again, he found that Shu Shao seemed to want to stop talking. He moved his heart, waved his hand and said, "all the Qing ministers, please step back. General, Shu Aiqing, Yang Aiqing and Yan Aiqing stay! Follow me to the side hall Then he got up and went to the side hall behind the main hall.

On hearing this, all the people left the hall except a few who were ordered by Yuan Shu. Ji Ling and others went to the side hall under the guidance of the eunuch.

After several people entered the side hall, Yuan Shu had already sat there waiting for them.

"See you, my Lord!"

"Aiqing, get down! Somebody! Give me a seat Yuan Shu said in a low voice,

"thank you

When all the people sat down, Yuan Shu said, "just now, in the main hall, all the ministers were silent. I saw that Shu Aiqing wanted to say something again. It seemed that he wanted to say something, so he called all the ministers to the side hall to discuss the countermeasures. All the ministers are my ministers. I will forgive you for your innocence. "

Seeing that Yuan Shu had seen his action, Shu Shao stood up and said, "I have a plan for you, but there are so many eyes and ears in the hall, so I didn't tell you. Please forgive me!"

"Ai Qing, please tell me. I said that you are not guilty!"

"Thank you, sir," Shu Shao cleared his throat and stepped forward. Although there were all important officials of Yuan Shu's power in the side hall, he slightly lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, I believe you all know that Er Tao killed San Shi!"

Yan Xiang responded and said, "two peaches kill three scholars, but where is the peach?"

Shu Shao raised his head and gently pointed to the jade seal that Yuan Shu carried with him. He stopped talking.

Yang Hong also responded and said, "no, how can we promise other people things

In response, Yuan Shu grasped the jade seal and said, "no, the jade seal must not be given to others. Heaven's destiny is in me, so can Qi. "

Shu Shao said: "Your Majesty, the intention of Wei Chen is to take the jade seal as bait, not to send it out."

Then Shu Shao explained his ideas to the public one by one. After hearing this, they suddenly realized.

Shu Shao means that when the war is going on for a few days and the army in Shouchun city is slightly tired, he will send an envoy to some princes to express his willingness to offer the jade seal to surrender. At the same time, the news that the jade seal will be given to one of them will be quietly transmitted to other princes.

At the time of the boundary, the three princes will fight over the jade seal. When they are both defeated, the city's army will fight out, and it can be decided by a battle. If the three armies are broken, all the lost cities will be recovered.

As for the jade seal, you don't need to make a fake, just send out the yellow silk treasure box containing the jade seal.

After discussing the general plan, the next step is to give it to whom. What's the point? It seems that he is the worst among the princes. He is the follower of Huangfu Chaobo. He is the first one to be ruled out. What about sun CE? It seems that he can't do it either. His strength is still too poor. Whether it's Huangfu Chaobo or Cao Cao, it's estimated that sun CE will take the pill if one of them is cruel.

Huangfu Chaobo? The comprehensive strength is the strongest. However, after a big war, the strength has been broken. At present, there are only about 100000 troops outside Shouchun city. Judging from the fighting situation in recent days, it is obviously weaker than that of Ji Ling's army in Anfeng.

If neither of the two can do it, Cao Cao will be the only one. Cao Cao's army has about 120000 troops outside the city. Judging from the fighting situation in recent days, Ji Ling also thinks that Cao Cao's army is the most powerful among the three attacking armies.

In fact, the same is true. Sun CE's army expanded so fast that its combat power did not come up at all. After a big war, Huangfu Chaobo lost tens of thousands of troops. Today's army is just arrived, and its combat power is not as good as the previous one. Only Cao Cao's army lost some troops last year, but he soon recruited elite soldiers from other cities. Therefore, his army is the most powerful of the three.

After much consideration, they decided to present the jade seal treasure box to Cao Cao, and then quietly revealed it to Huangfu Chaobo and sun Qijun. As for the way, Yuan Shujun lost one after another, and some officials began to look for a way out. Therefore, Yuan Shu's secret agents have mastered the evidence that many officials were secretly communicating with the princes outside the city. They only need to pass the news through them That's it.

Later, several people discussed the details of the plan, and after repeated confirmation, it was finally determined.

Outside Shouchun City, Huangfu Chaobo and pangtong stood on the watchtower at the gate of the camp, watching tens of thousands of soldiers slowly withdraw from the camp in the dusk."Fengxiao, what day is it today? What about the war? "

"Lord Hui, today is the eighth day of the siege. Except for one day of armistice on the sixth day, it has been seven days since we attacked Shouchun. If we calculate according to the frequency of four rounds of attacks every day, our army has launched 28 rounds of attacks on Shouchun city wall."

After a pause, Guo Jia said, "the casualties of each attack in the previous few days were about 1000. After a day's rest, the army reorganized. The casualties in these days have been reduced."

"Rao is so. After the war in recent days, 8487 soldiers were killed, 3458 seriously injured and 19598 lightly injured. So far, our army has suffered more than 30000 casualties, and can dispatch nearly 70000 taxis. "

In seven days, 30000 people were killed and more than 4000 people were killed every day. Rao Shi Huangfu Chaobo has already made some preparations in his heart, and he also feels headache. The siege casualties are really huge.

However, what made Huangfu Chaobo a little more comfortable was that sun Qijun's casualties in recent days also reached nearly 20000, and Cao Cao's army's casualties also reached more than 30000.

According to the taxi crew's report, the attack of the two families did not cheat. These were real casualties. In the next few days, we can all see that the battle strength of the defenders in the city has declined compared with the previous few days.
