The generals of the guards who knew the inside story of the army had advised Zhu Gaoxu not to make weapons. But Zhu Gaoxu replied: If we besiege the city but do not build siege tools, it would be like telling Guo Zi that we are determined to seize the city by relying on internal forces!
Before Mu Sheng's army reached the west of the city, Zhu Gaoxu's troops had already surrounded Chengdu on all sides. He sent troops up every day to attack the city walls with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, copper fire guns, and bowl-mouth guns.

The old woman at the beginning used the Yiyang tune of Jiangxi, but the Hua Dan just now sang a line with the Kunshan tune. The King of Shu is a noble royal family, and the opera troupe he keeps at home should not be so crude."Zhu Gaoxu looked at the stage and said casually: "I don't hear the difference."Mu Sheng made a gesture and turned the music into gestures, "Kunshan accent is originally a majestic tone.
