Quanzhou City has been besieged for six days, and the Suodu troops who should have returned to the rescue have not yet been seen. This made Pu Shougen anxious. It has become a compulsory course for him to climb up to Wanghai Tower every day to check the enemy situation. "Watching the soil dug out of the Song army in digging trenches into a low chest wall, gradually increasing it into a high city wall, and building a fortress among the city walls, building a camp, and becoming a city outside the city. This made him regretful to stop the hundred slaves from harassing the Song army, and the Song army built an insurmountable city to trap himself in it, and reinforcements were blocked outside it.

It is April 15th, and it is the time limit for the Song army to declare that it will set up the attack. Pu Shougeng arranged family matters and asked his second son Shi Si to take the private soldiers in the mansion to prepare for the battle. Once the city is broken, he will do his best to defend the mansion to wait for the arrival of reinforcements. As long as the men in the mansion are adults, whether they are masters or slaves, they all put out weapons and armor to enter the battle at any time.

Then, Pu Shougeng led 500 personal soldiers to Yacheng to discuss matters and commanded the army to prepare to resist the attacks that the Song army might have at any time. In order to show his determination to fight the Song army to the end, he specially changed into military uniforms, put on armor and swords and rode a horse. The Pu family mansion was in the south of the city. Because the Yacheng was first built, it had become a place in the north of the city as the city expanded southward and moved southward. Therefore, he had to go to Yacheng to basically pass through the entire Quanzhou city from south to north.

"It's so deserted!" Pu Shougeng felt something strange as soon as he went out. In the past, there were countless hawkers selling around his mansion early in the morning, selling all kinds of small items to the people in the mansion, but today people have become rare things and are very pure.

"Go quickly!" Pu Shougeng habitually urged his personal soldiers to lead his horse to the main street, but he quickly realized. Quanzhou is a big city with a population of more than 200,000. In the past, the streets were already bustling at dawn, with dense crowds everywhere, walking side by side, and needed to drive them out of their personal soldiers to squeeze out a road. But now, like the number limit now, there is no need to shout and drive away the road ahead.

Pu Shougeng frowned even harder and was about to rain all the way. The situation in front of him made his already bad mood terrible. Most of the shops that should have opened early at this time have not opened their doors, and only a few small restaurants opened their doors to do business. But the waiter who was soliciting business at the door was also very idle at the moment, looking at the streets that became extremely spacious today with a drooping head. The wild dogs who often wanted to drive them seemed to know that the Song army was going to attack the city, but they did not come out, let alone someone came to take care of their business.

Only after staying on the main street were popular, but either Ding Yiyong, a soldier who was patrolling the street, or the army that was on standby, occasionally pedestrians were also rushing, looking up from time to time, rushing home, fearing that the sky suddenly fell from the sky and stuck on his head. Pu Shougeng had no intention of looking at it again, and urged his horse to go quickly along the spacious road, crossed Zicheng, and came to the front of Yacheng. In fact, Yacheng was originally very small, with a vast area of ​​only two or three hundred meters, which was at best equivalent to a Tuzhai, and it was only a yamen established during the Five Dynasties.

Pu Shougen got off the horse and entered the yamen. When he went to the hall, he saw that there were all the people. All the people who should come were coming, and the civil servants and generals sat in the room. However, some were excited, some sighed, and some were stunned. When they saw him coming in, they stood up to salute.

"General Xia, what are the actions of the Song army outside the city today?" Pu Shougeng asked as soon as he sat down.

"Reported to the Governor, the Song army showed signs of large-scale mobilization at the end of this morning. They claimed that the attack on the city today should be a bluff, deliberately creating chaos, or seeing us ready to go, so they gave up." Xia Jing stood up and reported.

"Well, I heard that the young emperors of the Southern Dynasty have always been cunning and like to secretly use tricks while others are not prepared. You must not slack off and strictly monitor them!" Pu Shougen nodded and said, but his heart became even more nervous, and he couldn't figure out what the Song army was going to do.

"What the governor said is very good. Although reinforcements from all walks of life are coming to help at night, it will take a few days before the Song army will step up the attack on the city." said the prefect Tian Mako.

"What should I worry about? The messenger has been sent out, and the father and commander have gathered heavy troops from all over the place to reinforce. Besides, there are more than a thousand elite troops in the city and tens of thousands of elite troops. The Song army is also delusional to capture Quanzhou, let alone to break the city in a few days!" Baijiashu waved his hand.

"Now the Song army surrounded Quanzhou like an iron barrel, the internal and external news was cut off, and the enemy situation was even more unclear. The last general saw that the Song army built several earth platforms in the north of the city and continued to move forward. He thought that he wanted to enter the city from the north city, so he asked the governor to send more troops to defend!" said the North Gate Guard You Yongxian. Everyone could see that the North Gate was most suitable for attack, but he only sent three thousand troops, but he deployed heavy troops at the West Gate.

"What do you know? The Left Prime Minister's return troops came from the west. We can send troops to defeat the enemy as soon as reinforcements arrive!" Sun Shengfu shouted loudly after hearing this. He understood the meaning very well. But now, except for the city defense army, he has the strongest power in the city. But those are the private soldiers of the Pu family, most of them are deployed around the Pu Mansion.

"The west city is close to Jinjiang and cannot set up a formation at all. The Song army will never attack the city from now on, and should strengthen the north city!" It is related to life and death, but You Yongxian said authentically.

"Don't fight, I think we can move the power of the Nancheng north. As long as we guard the Water Gate there, there will be nothing wrong!" Xia Jing quickly smoothed out the situation.

"No, Nancheng is a place where merchants gather, how can we look down on it!" Pu Shougeng said regardless of his identity. It was his lifeblood. Xia Jing eats and drinks mine. It's okay to beat me now...

Everyone fought in the yamen without any result, but thought that the Song army did not move, why did their own people hurt their harmony. So they talked about the business, and wanted to give rewards after defeating the enemy. Then everyone waited for the Song army to attack the city, but there was no movement until the sun set. In order to prevent the Song army from attacking at night, they stopped until the moon was above the moon, but it was still quiet until the drum beat three times. Pu Shougeng and everyone patrol the city again, and the Song army camp was quiet, and there was signs of attack. Everyone said that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty was hairless and did not do anything. He broke the appointment, which made everyone live for a day in vain!

At this time, Zhao Bing was in a state of spirit. He looked at Quanzhou City under the moonlight from afar, of course he was not in the mood to appreciate the moonlight. At this time, the city was brightly lit, and the sound of gongs continued, and lanterns fell from above the city wall to make the city shine brightly. However, soldiers still threw down their torches from time to time to see if there were lurking enemy troops under the city, and the defense was tight.
