Overnight, Zhao Hao felt that he had no 'freedom' again, but he did not try to resist again, but accepted it peacefully, because he did not want to be killed and receive the reward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And that Pu Shougeng is still so stingy, his own emperor is only worth a thousand taels of gold in his eyes, so it is too cheap, and there is no such scolding for scolding! No matter what the purpose, Zhao Yu must kill Pu Shougeng today, he changed into a military uniform early in the morning, hung armor on his head, and carried a short knife on his waist, if he didn't have a small belly, he would still have the charming style of "Little Captain".

Under strict protection, Zhao Hao climbed the South City Tower, and the city head had been cleaned up at this time, but the bloodstains and ruins on it could still make people see how fierce the battle was at the beginning. At this time, the city was already guarded by the guard battalion, and a cordon was arranged, and Zheng Yong led the escort warships in place on the sea under the city, and only then did he set up the guard of honor and raise the imperial flag.

Zhao Yu looked left and right, not only Ying Jieyan, Cai Wanyi and other generals personally escorted them as if they were facing a great enemy, but even Yuan Miao, who never appeared in public, was also mixed in, and there were some unknown faces among the guards, so there was no need to ask if this was someone from the bureau brought by Zheng Huchen. It can be said that it is all arranged openly and secretly, and if someone wants to get close to him, he may have to be airborne, but he also has to dodge the arrow net woven by the repeating ballista.

Holding up the telescope, Zhao Yu condescendingly looked into the city, everything was unobstructed, the city was built with the flow of the river, so the city wall was bent and curved, and it was not as square as other cities, because it resembled a carp, so it got the name of 'carp city' again. Since there was no large-scale battle in the city, everything basically remained the same, but at the moment there was no prosperity of the past, and everything was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

Zhao Hao's eyes quickly turned to Pufu, which is located in the south of the city, thinking that the circumference of Quanzhou City is only 20 miles long after several expansions, that is, the side length is five miles square, but there are more than 200,000 people gathered in it, and among them are commercial ports, densely populated, it can be said that every inch of land is gold, but his family monopolizes a mansion of 300 acres in the south of the city, which can see its status and financial resources in Quanzhou.

Look at the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard of the Pu family, the small bridges and flowing water, and the flowers are like brocade, but Zhao Yu is not concerned about this at the moment, but he sees that the wall of his courtyard is indeed tall, basically level with the sub-city, and the battle wall and corner tower are built on it, and the top is full of soldiers. Outside the courtyard, as Zhang Shijie said, the surrounding lanes are tortuous, except for the front is quite wide, it is difficult to arrange troops, and they are all within the range of the archers of the defenders in the palace, so it is not easy to approach.

"Sir, if the thief wants to run, where do you think he will break through?" Zhao Yu asked after looking at it.

"Your Majesty, I don't think he will think about breaking through!" Ying Jieyan replied, "The outer city has been completely controlled by our army, and all the city gates are heavily guarded, and the city is also full of checkpoints. ”

"Well, sir, that's right. But I still feel that something is wrong, he has already given up the way to escape from the city defense and entered the palace, but he is cunning, how can he put himself in danger and not leave a way back! Zhao Yu still felt uneasy in his heart, and said with a frown.

"Sizzle......" Ying Jieyan took a breath of cool air and said, "Your Majesty thinks well, the three caves of the cunning rabbit, this Pu thief not only has a mansion in the city, but also has an outer house and garden in the Yunlu of Fashi, and Fashi Port is regarded as their brother's special ship, and the fleet of the Pu family is moored." Could it be that he has already fled the city. ”

"I thought that when the city fell, the Pu thieves should still be in the city, otherwise how could the officials in the city dare to easily give up the city defense and move into the private house of the Pu family to resist stubbornly!" Zhao Hao thought about it.

"Well, Your Majesty's analysis is reasonable, but Quanzhou City has been taken down by our army in one day, and he should also understand that his private house is difficult to live in, let alone pin his hope of saving his life on the instigation of the capital. So if he is still calm, will he have already chosen the way to escape? Ying Jieyan felt that if Pu Shougeng was not in the city, those shrimp soldiers and crab generals would only loot the Pu family first, instead of retreating to the death, so they should be ordered by Pu Shougeng. However, it is very likely that he did this because the city was suddenly besieged, so he could not transfer his family belongings, so he could only try to delay the transfer of his property, but the city was surrounded by three layers inside and out, and he could not figure out how to do it.

"I think there should be a dark room and a secret passage in his mansion, leading to the hidden places in the city, or even outside the city, and once the mansion is breached, he will immediately escape from it!" Zhao Yu nodded.

"There is a possibility, the average small rich family will have a dark room to prevent thieves, Quanzhou has been repeatedly invaded by pirates, in addition to raising private soldiers to guard the home and nursing home, there must also be another place to hide treasures." Ying Jie said sternly, and said in his heart that his apprentice knew so much about this crooked and evil thing?

"This Quanzhou is full of rivers, the groundwater is very shallow, digging three feet into the ground will have water gushing out, and if the tunnel goes out of the city, it will have to go down to two or three zhang deep moats, and it is difficult to complete such a large project even with the financial resources of the Pu family!" Zhao Yu thought that it was impossible for Pu Shougeng to escape from the city and use the method of digging secret passages, and it was not easy to dig such a long roadway under the water with modern technology, and he would also encounter problems such as leakage and collapse.

"Your Majesty, there is a secret passage in this city that leads to the outside of the city!" This is Cai Wanyi suddenly interjected.

"Oh, say it!" Zhao Hao asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, the city of Quanzhou is built by the sea, and there is water flowing through the city, so there is a risk of the tide backing up. In order to prevent the tide from flooding the city, there is a water in the city that can flow out of the city, and at the beginning of the construction of the city, there was a tidal weir and a gate that can be opened and closed. When the tide rises, the gates are closed, and when the tide recedes, the gates are opened again. Because of the repeated expansion of the city, a section of the dam was buried underground. Cai Wanyi replied.

"There is water in the weir all year round, how can it be passed?" Ying Jieyan felt that it was unlikely, and asked rhetorically.

"Ying Shuai doesn't know, the weir is more than two zhang deep, more than two zhang wide, and half a zhang in the narrow, if it is not full when the tide is not high, there can also be a boat in the dark channel!" Cai Wanyi explained, "There is a garden pond in Pujia, which is the water in the trench that leads to each other, and if you go through a secret passage, you can sneak out of the city for miles!" ”

"Well, I ordered to postpone the attack for the time being, and I just said that I want to talk to Pu Shougeng!" Zhao Yu knew that once the attack was urgent, Pu Shougeng would definitely flee first, and if he ran away, then the significance of attacking the city would be reduced by half......
