Just as Sun Yu ordered to enter Quanzhou, Zhou Xingfeng, the governor of Wuping Army in Tanzhou, Chu, was already in his dying state. Perhaps it was a revival. Zhou Xingfeng was in good spirits today and drank a bowl of millet porridge.

"Qi'er, go and summon all the generals in the city. I have something to do." Zhou Xingfeng knew that it was not long before he had a good life, and it would be too late to not arrange his funeral.

"Dad, you have a good rest and don't worry about these things. Let's talk about it when you are in better health." Although Zhou Baoquan is only a young son, he is very sensible and filial, and has some talent, which is very popular among Zhou Xingfeng's subordinates. But this is a chaotic world, and those who speak loudly are all powerful generals, which is a pity.

"If you don't do it, it's too late, go quickly." Zhou Xingfeng sighed, thinking that he was full of military force, and now he is lying in bed.

Zhou Baoquan had no choice but to go out and ordered his servants to go to each family to ask for someone.

Zhou Xingfeng was in Chu and had some reputation. Most of the generals from all walks of life were promoted by Zhou Xingfeng, and loyalty was reasonable. In less than half an hour, all the powerful generals in Tanzhou City arrived at the General's Mansion, waiting for Zhou Xingfeng to speak.

"Everyone is my brother and brother. Now, I'm afraid I have to take a step first. I'll ask you to take care of you." Zhou Xingfeng, with the help of Zhou Baoquan, barely sat upright and bowed to the generals.

"General, why do you say this? It is the right way to take good care of yourself." A guard came forward and held Zhou Xingfeng's hand. He has been following Zhou Xingfeng for more than ten years and has a deep relationship.

"Xiao Tao, I'm old, my health is not good. Now I can't rest assured that I have only one thing. My son is young and has never been to the battle formation. In the future, I will have to trouble you guys." Zhou Xingfeng wanted to stand up, but it was not possible and could only continue to sit down.

"Don't worry, General, we will keep the young master safe." A group of Wuping generals knelt on one knee. Zhou Xingfeng was considered to be a entrusted by the orphan, and everyone felt a little heavy. No matter what Zhou Xingfeng's methods were, they were still good for them.

"Okay, Quan'er, I'll send you all my uncles on behalf of my father." Zhou Xingfeng finally fell halfway through his heart. As long as there is no problem in this Tanzhou City, even if something goes wrong, there is still another way out.

Zhou Baoquan sent the generals to the door until everyone left, and returned to Zhou Xingfeng's room.

"Quan'er, there were ten people who joined the army for his father, but now only Zhang Wenbiao, the governor of Hengzhou, is left. If he leaves for his father, he is afraid that he will not want to live in the long term, how should my son deal with it?" Zhou Xingfeng cheered up and prepared to tell Zhou Baoquan the last method.

"My son is stupid, I really don't know." Zhou Baoquan shook his head. What can his eleven-year-old child decide on these things.

"The two routes are: summoning troops to attack them. If the top and the bottom are united, Zhang Wenbiao is not worth worrying. The second route, if things are not smooth, you can surrender to Zhao Song, and you can also ensure that our Zhou family's blood is continuous." Zhou Xingfeng touched his son's head. After the establishment of the Zhao Song Dynasty, there was no separatist force to take the initiative to surrender. If Zhou Baoquan led the crowd to surrender, then the Emperor of Zhao would definitely give more preferential treatment to peace in the world.

"Son, remember!" Zhou Baoquan nodded and fed Zhou Baoquan himself the medicine brought by his servant. He was still young and did not have much ambitions. Even if he joined Zhao Song, it would be a good way.

In Nanping, not far from Chu, Gao Jichong gathered all the craftsmen and built weapons day and night. His uncle had no more time, unlike the young Zhou Baoquan, he was skilled in archery and horses, had ambitions, and it was his dream to make achievements.

Jinjiang is not wide in Fujian, about three miles away. It is not rainy season at this time, and the river water is very stable. If the army wants to cross the river, the best way is to use ships as bridge piers and build pontoon bridges, which can be completed in half a day.

Deng Qin stood at the head of Quanzhou City and could vaguely see the soldiers of Jianzhou Army building fortifications by Jinjiang River. General Zhang Hansi didn't know what to do. He arrived later than Jianzhou Army. If he could arrive earlier, he could still defend the city. The Jianzhou Army might have retreated. More than 300 cavalrymen were wandering around Quanzhou City. He had already ordered the city gate to be closed. Although there were not many cavalrymen, everyone brought crossbows and there were fewer people going out, which was no different from seeking death.

Zhang Hansi was also unable to express his suffering at this time. He was old and had been chasing Chen Hongjin for several days and was exhausted. Now he was about to return. He had been marching for about ten days in a row, and there was no time to take a serious rest. He couldn't bear it even when he rode on his horse. Blood blisters were grinding from both sides of his thighs. The soldiers under his command had already complained, mainly because he failed to take Chen Hongjin and had no reward.

"General, we are one step late. The Jianzhou Army has already built fortifications next to Jinjiang." The deputy general came back anxiously and reported that the news was from the scouts sent by the Pioneer Camp he led.

"Shameless boy, I was just taking advantage of my inattention. Where is Deng Mao? Is there any news?" Zhang Hansi's face was as deep as water. Now he was in trouble. The other party actually set up a formation on the water surface and waited for him to cross the river.

"Not yet, it's just now. It's not long since the other party's situation." The deputy general shook his head, not knowing what the situation was going on over there.

"Send a few people to find a place to sneak over to find out the news." Zhang Hansi was now in a dark look, not knowing the other party's situation at all. It is definitely not possible to cross the river rashly. Jinjiang River flows very long, and the other party cannot defend every place, and there must be loopholes to dig into. It is unlikely that the army would cross the river quietly, but it is still easy to send a few spies over.

"I'll make arrangements for you." The deputy general took the order and left. He had been staring at the position of the commander of the army for a long time. Since Chen Hongjin had rebelled, this position must be unable to sit still. As Zhang Hansi's deputy, when the war ended, rewarding merits and rewards must be his pocket. He never thought that Cheng Yaojin would be killed halfway through. This matter was going to be bad, so of course he wanted to give it a try, and wealth was right in front of him.

Anyway, it was too late, so Zhang Hansi was not in a hurry. He arrived at the Jinjiang River and organized camps to defend while arranging people to prepare ships and wooden boards to build a floating bridge. Zhang Hansi was backed by Jinjiang County, which was much more secure than the Jianzhou Army. If he hadn't been worried about the change in Quanzhou City, he would have wished he would have been confronting each other by Jinjiang River and would sooner or later drag him down.

"How are you preparing?" Sun Yu walked to the baggage camp. Sun Sandao was commanding the soldiers to build a scattering machine, with all kinds of parts, mainly hollowing out and assembling it on the big tree that had just been cut down.

"If you can make five frames today, you should be faster tomorrow." Sun Sandao wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was the hottest season of the year, because he was still able to stand it because he was close to the sea.

"Well, make preparations first, put them on the carriage, and transport them as soon as possible once needed." Sun Yu didn't know when and where Zhang Hansi would go.

When crossing the river, all you can do is prepare everything and arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible when needed.

Except for Bai Yong's fourth regiment stationed on the east side of Luo River to prevent the arrival of Putian, the remaining 1,23 regiments were stationed in sections along the Jinjiang River. No matter where Zhang Hansi crossed the river, it was ensured that within two hours, there were soldiers on his side who could arrive to intercept him.

In Quanzhou City, Song Wumian had not gone out for many days. The day Zhang Hansi entered the city was shocked, but fortunately, he chased Chen Hong in west. But when he thought that his sister Wuliu was still in the palace, he was so anxious, but Zhang Hansi had no choice but to keep three hundred soldiers guarding the palace.

Now the other two left behind Quanzhou have brought their men to the Song family. The three families have combined their troops to one place, which is much better than the other. The other two families are the children of the other branches, so naturally, Song Wumian has the final say in this mansion.

"Da~Da~Da" The Song family's door that had not sounded for many days, and there was a sound of knocking on the door without any rush, as if they were visiting and chatting.

"Who are you?" A guard of the Song family asked, poking out from outside the wall. The door had been blocked for a long time and could not be opened in less than half an hour.

"Tell Mr. Song that his old friend came from the north and wanted to see him." This person was Yang Qifeng. Before the army entered Quanzhou, he sneaked into the city and wanted to see if there were any loopholes. Now in Quanzhou City, he was in a panic and he couldn't wander around. He heard that the eldest son of the Song family stayed at home, so he was ready to come here to see if there was any good solution.

"Wait here for now." The guard ordered, his head shrank, he leaned down to the wall, and went to search for Song Wumian in the backyard.

Song Wumian, who used to be an official, now has a armor that is always on his body and has a long sword hanging on his waist. It is a matter of life and life. Song Wumian climbed up the wooden board built inside the wall, revealing only half of his head, looking down.

"Mr. Song, long time no see." Yang Qifeng was extremely alert. As soon as Song Wumian poked his head out, he felt it and looked up.

"Captain Yang, it's you. Hurry up and put down the ladder." Song Wumian saw that it was Yang Qifeng, the captain of Jianzhou Army's Special Battalion. This is a big figure that Sun Yu can do, so naturally he cannot neglect it.

The guard put down the ladder and Yang Qifeng climbed in along the ladder. He could understand the special period.

"Person Yang, why are you here?" When Yang Qifeng landed and stood firm, Song Wumian asked hurriedly. This was the secret probe leader of the Jianzhou Army. If the Qingyuan Army knew about this, it would probably have to search the whole city.

"I'm here to try it out. Is there any good way to enter the city? After all, there will be too many casualties and injuries if you attack the city." Yang Qifeng shook his head. The guards of Quanzhou were much stricter than he expected. After all, they were built with Liu Congfei with all their efforts, and they didn't find any place to use.

"No, when the prince was there, he strengthened the defense of Quanzhou City many times, and there were no loopholes to be drilled. The rice and grain accumulated in the warehouse were enough for half a year for the military and civilians in the city. Instead of looking for these, it is better to start from the hearts of the people." No matter how strong the city wall is, people need to defend. As long as people are dealt with, those are decorations.
