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 set up, the stacked pheasant is closed, and the system is strict. There are moats on three sides in the southeast and west of the city, Feishui in the north, rivers in the four corners, and a water gate in the northeast and northwest. The city has 4 gates, namely Binyang Gate on the east, Dinghu Gate on the west, Tongfei Gate on the south, and Jinghuai Gate on the north.

The perimeter of the wall of Shouchun City is about 30 li. The wall under the stack wall is two feet and six feet high, the bottom is seven feet wide, and the top is two to three feet wide. The wall is rammed with soil, and bricks are pasted on the outside, and the lower part of the outer wall is used to build a few feet high wall foundation. The outer walls of the city wall are covered with bricks and stones, and the bricks and stones of the city wall are filled with glutinous rice juice mixed with lime and other things, which is very firm. The old "Shouzhou city beaten by iron" has the reputation.

The four gates of Shouchun City are all set up outside the city wall, and the inner and outer gates are all brick and stone voucher top structures. The urn gates of the four gates of Shouchun are not on the same central axis as the gates. East Weng City faces south, West Weng City Gate faces north, Nan Weng City faces west, and North Weng City Gate faces east. They are all at a 90-degree right angle to the city gate. If you look down from the sky, the central axis of the four gates and the four sides of Weng City An inverted "swastika" pattern was formed between the city gates. This ingenious setting is based on military defense considerations: that is, after the enemy breaks through the city, it needs to change direction to attack the city gate, and the defender can use the gate to hit dogs and destroy the enemy in the city.

In addition to the outer city, Shouchun City has an inner city and an imperial city. Each wall of the outer city is about eight miles long, the inner city is more than four miles long, and the imperial city is only more than two miles long. Compared with the Shili, Qili and Sili in Luoyang City, the difference is not a bit and a half.

Regarding this information, Huangfu Chaobo believed that it was not only himself, but Cao Cao and Sun Ce both knew well.

After each of the three armies arrived under Shouchun City, they did not attack the city immediately, but set up camp, and then exchanged envoys between the three groups, preparing to have a meeting before the attack, so that the three can better work together to attack the city, and After invading the city, they can better collect property and avoid conflict. Of course, don't think that the three men and horses will strictly abide by the agreement after entering the city, but at least it is still a rough area.

As a result, under the tense gaze of the tens of thousands of troops in the city, the cavalry ran back and forth between the troops outside the city, and the exchanges between the messengers continued. The generals of Yuan Shujun in the city were very nervous. In fact, there were nearly 170,000 troops in Shouchun City, while the three-way coalition forces outside the city totaled only 300,000 troops. In principle, Yuan Shujun should have a good chance of winning.

For example, Huangfu Chaobo’s An Dong Army, oh, should be called the Luoyang Army at the time. At that time, with an army of less than one hundred thousand, it was able to withstand the two hundred thousand army of Lv Bu, Zhang Yang and Yuan Shu. Lu princes captured tens of thousands of troops instead.

Given that Yuan Shujun and the incoming coalition troops have more advantages than the original Luoyang Army, Yuan Shujun's chance of winning is not small. Unfortunately, things on the battlefield are never as simple as 1+1=2.

At present, the army outside the city includes Huangfu Chaobo’s 100,000 army (except for the 80,000 army that initially went north from Shuxian County, Huangfu Chaobo also ordered 20,000 defenders to be allocated from the occupied cities, a total of 100,000 Army.). Cao Cao's army headquarters plus Cao Hong's department totaled 120,000 troops. Sun Ce's 60,000 army. If you add the tens of thousands of civilians and captives in the three families, there are more than forty people.

Although Yuan Shujun has an army of 170,000, including nearly 100,000 of the elite, since Yuan Shu proclaimed the emperor last year, Yuan Shujun has been defeated in every battle, and then lost his army all the way, losing Runan, Guangling, The site of the three counties of Xiapi was lost this year, even Lujiang, which had been in business for several years.

It has only been less than a year and a half now. The enemy has already landed under the capital, and his own emperor is already withered, far less energetic than when he proclaimed himself emperor. Not only that, the number of hundreds of thousands of troops when they first became emperor now has less than 200,000. The morale of the army is sluggish, and the tens of thousands of troops have no courage to face the 300,000 enemy troops outside the city.

Among the dozen generals of Yuan Shujun, Chen Ji, Yuan Yin, Liu Xun, Yuan Huan, Qiao Yuan, or dead or prisoners, all have no news now. Among the other generals, the prince Yuan Yao and generals Yuan Si, Li Ling and Chen Lan also had no news. The only thing that can know is that Li Feng is still thinking about it, but because of the Anton army's eagerness, he has to guard the city and dare not move lightly.

In today's Shouchun City, only General Ji Ling led Lei Bo back to defend Shouchun. Oh, yes, there is another person who can lead the army, that is Huangyi, 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 princes who came in to besiege Shouchun were not easy to follow, and the three princes were surrounded by smart and advanced generations, so Yuan Shujun was looking forward to the three princes. Coaxing is basically impossible. Whether it is Cao Cao Sun Ce or Huangfu Chaobo, everyone's goal is clear-to completely destroy Yuan Shu.

Of course it's not exactly the same. Sun Ce still has a must-have item, and Cao Cao is also staring at that item, while Huangfu Chaobo is determined to make a profit, and another purpose is to have a relationship with Sun Ce Lala and plan to get it together next year. Turn Cao Aya.

It is precisely because of this that the messengers of the three families ran out a few rounds, and finally the time and place for the three families to meet was confirmed.

That is a mountain called Gaojiagang two miles south of Sun Cejun’s camp. There is an open field on all sides. The three parties agreed that the three masters each led 1,000 people to the meeting place, and then the three each led one. A counselor and a general came to meet.

The most important thing is that neither Cao Cao nor Huangfu Chaobo are willing to go to the other side's territory. It is definitely impossible to put themselves in danger with Cao Cao's suspiciousness, and Huangfu Chaobo's own words are not problematic, but he He is unwilling to take risks with his subordinates, but it is impossible for the three parties to negotiate without his own military division. So in the end, the two companies had to suggest that the meeting place should be in the area controlled by Sun Cejun.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the three soldiers and horses were escorting the meeting place where their lord arrived. Sun Cejun 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 one mile away from Gaojiagang. The meeting place in Gaojiagang was arranged by the three soldiers, so there was no pre-arranged trap for killing moves.

After the three soldiers stopped, Huangfu Chaobo and the others led their two subordinates on horseback towards the meeting place at Gaogang.
