Just like that, Mu Yangling sat on the city wall for the entire night. Fortunately, with her around, the military camp did not fall into chaos. Song Zhi sent all the bailiffs to the streets because Mu Yangling had told him, "It's better to release the news so that people will know what to do. Otherwise, it will only make people panic." Song Zhi beat the gong and drum to inform everyone that General Qi wanted to recover their homeland that had been occupied by the Hus. Therefore, in order to express their support for this great cause, he hoped that everyone would donate money and items to the soldiers at the frontline.
If Song Zhi had simply beat the gong and drum on the streets, everyone would definitely be suspicious. If the rich wanted to escape, they would still escape. However, now that Song Zhi asked for a donation, the squires who had the intention to retreat immediately stopped.
