Shouchun is much smaller than Xiapi. Gao Jin kept an eye on it when he entered the city. According to his visual inspection, the perimeter of Shouchun City will not exceed ten miles at most. There are two city gates in the south. The other directions are not clear. The height of the city wall
It is about twelve meters in diameter and about six meters in thickness. There is a small urn city built inside the city gate. There are caves for hiding soldiers dug into the walls on both sides of the urn city. There are ramps for riding horses to climb the city.
There are no enemy troops pressing down on the border now, and all the hiding holes in the wall are empty.
Therefore, as long as we can seize the city gate, release Yu Jin outside, Qiao Rui and others lead troops into the city, and then send a group of people to light fires in the city to create chaos, it will not be difficult to break the city.
The city's defense was not strict at this time. Although a group of Yuan Shu's troops occasionally passed by with spears, most of them did not have the atmosphere of a battle, and their expressions looked very relaxed, which gave Gao Jin a little more confidence.
Although this city is not big, its walls and arrow towers are much smaller than Xiapi, but its prosperity is not comparable to Xiapi. There are many people on the street, sweating like rain, and the shops along the street are even more lively.
Gao Jin's heart also sank. Xiapi was the place where the Four Wars were fought and experienced too many wars. As for Shouchun, this place belongs to Yangzhou and is located in the south. After the war, countless expatriates from the north fled.
Going to Jingzhou and Yangzhou contributed to the prosperity here.
But these people may not know that a new war will start here, and the initiator is Gao Jin.
After turning a few streets paved with green bricks, a majestic palace appeared in front of Gao Jin in the distance. Although Shouchun was prosperous, it was not a big city. Most of the buildings along the street were low. The majestic palace stood tall.
In the center, it is very annoying.
At this time, Li Feng had dismounted and walked to Gao Jin pretending to give instructions: "General, let you settle down in an old military camp first. Then I have to go see Yuan Yin. I'm afraid I will have to come back later."
Gao Jin nodded, looked at the palace and said, "Where did Shouchun get the palace?"
Li Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Yuan Shu has always wanted to be a king since he became the emperor in Yu and Yang. He summoned his staff several times to discuss the matter of proclaiming the emperor. If it hadn't been for the efforts of Master Yan and others to stop it, I'm afraid I would have called Yuan Shu
For Your Majesty." When it came to Yuan Shu proclaiming himself emperor, Li Feng showed great disapproval.
Gao Jin secretly thought that Li Feng wanted to surrender, probably not only because of Qiao Rui, but also because of Yuan Shu's greed and his lack of talent. Yuan Shu went on an expedition and had so many generals under his command, but he alone guarded a county.
, this may also be an inducement.
Li Feng continued: "Although Yuan Shu temporarily put away his ambition to become emperor, he ordered the craftsmen to supervise the construction of this palace. Although its scale is not comparable to that of Xudu's palace, it is built according to Xudu's palace style. Everything
He also imitated the Emperor's expenses for his campaign, and everyone in the world has known about this for a long time. Alas... He has not yet achieved his hegemony, but he enjoys the Emperor's utensils. I really don't know what he thinks."
Gao Jin smiled and said unequivocally: "General, you don't need to accompany me. It's better to get on your horse so as not to arouse suspicion."
Li Feng nodded, got on his horse, and went to the front to lead the way again.
Li Feng took the grain team to an old camp and said to Gao Jin: "The general is waiting here. Someone will bring food and wine. I will go to see Yuan Yin now. If I don't report to him, people may be suspicious."
Gao Jin summoned the Sima in the grain team in the camp, and the military commander said: "Everyone, go and rest now. At night, when General Li Feng comes back, we will take action together."
Everyone agreed and went to rest one after another.
Gao Jin knew that tonight was the key, and he didn't know where Yu Jin, Qiao Rui and others outside the city had been. If anyone had ever discovered their whereabouts, he felt relieved. After all, they were wearing Yuan Shujun's military uniforms. Even if ordinary people found out, they would probably not be able to find them.
I won't be suspicious, so I feel relieved, sit down cross-legged, and slowly start to raise my energy and regulate my body's breath.
The sky gradually darkened, and the streets became deserted. However, the security in the city was a bit tighter. On the cold streets, in addition to the barking of dogs, there were also groups of Yuan Shujun's armored soldiers rushing past with their spears.
The friction and the clatter of military boots.
God was kind of helpful. Thin clouds covered the stars and moon in the sky, making it impossible to see any fingers on the street. It was another month of dark and windy murderous night! In the middle of the night, the entire Shouchun City had completely fallen asleep.
As expected, Gao Jin saw Yuan Yin's caution. Seeing that Li Feng hadn't come back yet, he felt more worried. At this time, the resting soldiers had all woken up. Some Sima and military princes came to Gao Jin's place to wait. Gao Jin looked at
It was the first time for him to meet these people. Although these people were Li Feng's confidants, they had some worries on their faces when they saw that Li Feng had not returned.
Gao Jin knew that he had to give them full confidence at this time, so he pretended to be calm and said to everyone: "Please wait a little, General Li is afraid that he will be taken away to drink, and he will also ask for the night order."
, I’m afraid it will take some effort. You’ll be back in a few moments, are you all ready?”
Everyone was relieved, and a Sima said: "Everything is ready. The tung oil and torches for igniting the fire were all brought in with the grain team's truck. I just went to check it again, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
There are no mistakes, general, don’t worry.”
Gao Jin smiled and said: "You all have contributed a lot to winning Shouchun, and your rewards will be indispensable."
After some encouragement, Li Feng came back drunk and said to Gao Jin: "General, forgive me, but Yuan Yin invited someone to drink. I was afraid that he would become suspicious, so I didn't dare to leave too early, which almost delayed the general's important event."
."
Gao Jin smiled slightly and said, "What's the crime? Have you got the password for tonight?"
Li Feng smiled and said: "I have found a general who I have made friends with and asked him to come. The command tonight is to defeat the enemy. General, now that everything is prepared, can we take action?"
Gao Jin nodded, spread out a map that Li Feng drew from memory, asked everyone to come forward, moved the oil lamp closer and said: "There are three key points in the city, one is the military camp, the other is Yuan Yin's residence, and there are
City gate."
"You don't have to worry about them in the military camp for the time being. As soon as the city gate opens and people go in, once the city is in chaos, as long as there is no commander, they will not be able to organize resistance. At that time, as long as our army rushes into the city, the defenders in the city will have no choice but to surrender.
"
"The city gate and Yuan Yin's residence are the key. Li Feng, you lead a group of people to the city gate. They must occupy it. Open the city gate and place a suspension bridge to allow the soldiers outside the city to enter the city."
Li Feng cupped his fists and said, "Here!"
Gao Jin continued: "Wang Xin, you lead a group of troops to disperse in various streets, choose the opportunity to set fire, create chaos in the city, and cover General Li Feng."
Wang Xin was Li Feng's confidant, Sima. He was usually taciturn and never said a word to Gao Jin. Seeing his sincerity, Gao Jin felt relieved about him and entrusted the matter to him.
Wang Xin nodded heavily: "Here!"
Gao Jin then said: "As for Yuan Yin, leave it to me. As long as there is a fire in the city, Yuan Yin will definitely lose his position and go to the military camp to mobilize troops and horses. I will choose an opportunity to assassinate him halfway."
Li Feng said: "General, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. There are more than a hundred generals in Yuan Yin's mansion. How can the general kill him?"
Gao Jin smiled coldly and said: "If it's a horse fight, I may not be sure. If it's just in the streets, I have the confidence to win Yuan Yin. Everyone, let's act separately. Don't worry about others, just do your best.
Do you understand everything?"
Li Feng, Wang Xin and others saw that Gao Jin was confident and said together: "Here!"
