Wancheng City

Wancheng city, the capital of Lujiang Prefecture, in Yang Province.

Defense
Wancheng city is the capital of Lujiang. It is guarded by walls surrounding its four sides with four heavy doors. The inside of Wancheng city is divided into two areas. The Inner city's area is 7-li and the outer city area is 15-li.

The front door of Wancheng city is a very heavy door. Its weight is at least 1000-jin. The body was made by mixture of steel and copper, nearby is a suspension bridge. With this combination, those two door and suspension bridge are complementing each other. This is the defensive measure for Wancheng city. But these defensive measures are actually useless against a surprise. The suspension bridge's weight is 1000-jin. Each opening and closing requires a lot of time, especially that 1000-jin door. Slowly but surely, several dozen of soldiers gather up trying to close the bridge and door.

At the outside wall, one can see Lu Kang's unfinished project to build a moat surrounding the city. That project was finally completed by Sun Ce, and the moat was filled by water from Yangtze River. With these designs, Wancheng city is very easy to defend and very hard to attack. The moat's depth is about 7-8 meters.

Naval HQ
Wancheng city naval HQ was constructed by Sun Ce. This river-port connects Jiangdong to Wancheng city. Wancheng city naval HQ can hold more than 10,000 naval troops and is quite good for naval battle.

History
Wancheng city, when at the time of spring and autumn period, was located in Qianshan County and is the Anhui region’s capital. During Han Dynasty, Wancheng city was no longer the capital of Anhui region and instead its location became Lujiang Prefecture capital, its affiliation changed from Anhui to Lujiang, but Wancheng city was still a capital. This decision came from Lujiang’s Prefect, Lu Kang, who wanted to distance the city from the chaos of war, he moved Lujiang Prefecture’s governance body to Wancheng city.

Wancheng city had been besieged by Sun Ce, when he was under Yuan Shu's rule. He besieged Lu Kang for a whole two years without any result rather than just cutting off Lu Kang's communication and supply routes to outside world and let them starve themselves to death.

Administration Building
Wancheng city’s Administration Office was once occupied by Lu Kang, the patriarch of Lu clan of Yang Province and Lujiang’s Prefect. Afterwards when Liu Xun and Sun Ce occupied this Administration Office successively, they expanded this office. Even though this Lujiang was a location of 4 battles and the people occupying it kept changing, it actually did not affect this Administration Office. Therefore one can compare this Administration Office with Yuan Shu's Shouchun Imperial Palace.
