Tang Feng led the army to eat and drink hungry, and spent the night at dawn. On this day, they finally arrived in Shu. Zhang Jun led the civil and military officials to greet him outside the military camp. Tang Feng came to the Chinese army's tent.
After introducing himself, he began to read out the imperial edict: "By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that the mediocre minister Zhang Jun delayed the military aircraft and caused the defeat of our army. He was an unforgivable sin and was relieved of his duties. After receiving the edict, he returned to Lin'an to await his fate. Shu The local military affairs are supervised by Pingxi General Tang Feng. All armies and horses should obey his orders and work together to defend against the enemy. There must be no mistakes. I appreciate this." Everyone said in unison: "I obey the order." Zhang Jun stood up and took out the tiger charm and handed it to him. Tang Feng then clasped his fists and saluted everyone: "Everyone, Zhang takes his leave. See you later." Then he turned and left.
After Zhang Jun left, Tang Feng asked the officers to report their homes, and then said: "Fellow generals, our army has been newly defeated and its morale is low. It is not appropriate to take the initiative to attack. I have ordered the generals to close the city gates tightly from now on and prepare to use strong bows and bows." Crossbow, just in case something unexpected happens." Qu Duan said: "General Tang, if Zhang Jun was as pragmatic as you, Fuping would have been defeated." Tang Feng said: "It's all over. It's useless to talk more. Let's go back and prepare to fight." Starting from the next day, the Song army, led by Tang Feng and others, began to build weapons and actively prepare for war. In addition, they also used local materials and transported stones from nearby mountains as weapons.
On this day, Tang Feng was checking the preparations for war on the battlefield. He saw Wu Jie leading some soldiers driving a carriage back from outside the city. There were not only stones but also a lot of grass on the carriage. Tang Feng looked carefully and found that the grass was all that The weeds growing freely in the barren mountains and wild ridges could not be eaten by the war horses at all, so he asked: "General Wu, why did you bring so much grass back? Are you going to keep it for fire and warmth in the winter?" Wu Jie replied: "General Tang , you don’t know, these grasses can not only make fires and keep warm, but also kill enemies." Tang Feng was very surprised after hearing this: "Kill enemies? How can grass kill enemies?" Wu Jie replied: "Tie them up and light them, and then fire them from the city wall. Throwing it up can burn the enemy. Most of the gold thieves' clothes are made of animal skins and will catch fire when exposed to fire." Tang Feng replied: "General Wu is indeed resourceful. Tang Mou has learned a lesson." Wu Jie replied: "Thank General Tang for his praise. .”
