"Now that everything is ready, my father and son will take their leave now." Yuan Chaoju stood up from his seat and offered to leave.
Wang Hu, who also stood up, said with a false face: "If Commander Yuan has nothing important to do, I really don't want Commander Yuan to leave like this."
"The top priority right now is to deal with the army of bandits. Once we deal with the bandits in Daizhou City, we will have many opportunities to get together in the future." Yuan Chaoju said with a smile.
But his steps were not slow, and he quickly led Yuan Chong out of the room.
Wang Hu personally accompanied him.
Soon, the group came to an open space in Qianhusuo.
Here, dozens of war horses have been prepared, with cloth bags containing rations on their backs, and the soldiers brought by Yuan Chaoju are guarding beside these horses.
Seeing Yuan Chaoju and Yuan Chong approaching, a soldier led two horses forward to give them the reins.
Yuan Chaoju climbed onto his horse, then looked at Wang Hu who was seeing him off, and said, "I would also like to ask Wang Qianshi to hold on to this place until I bring the army back."
"Okay." Wang Hu nodded in agreement.
"Walk!"
Yuan Chaoju said hello, knocked the horse's belly with both feet, and urged the horse to gallop away outside Qianhusuo.
The others followed and left Qianhusuo one after another.
Wang Hu came to the outside of Qianhu House and watched Yuan Chaoju and others stay away.
"The Yuan family and his son are quite sensible and know not to compete with you, General, for the military power here in Qianhusuo. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting them die in the hands of bandits." Wang Liang said fiercely.
Wang Hu said: "It's okay if he leaves. It saves us a lot of things. If we really want to stay, I will be in trouble."
With that said, he withdrew his gaze and turned to Wang Liang on the side and said: "Go and tell all the soldiers and servants to pack their things and bring dry food. I will wait for them here?"
"Ah!" Wang Liang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "General, are we leaving too?"
"Yes, let's go." Wang Hu nodded.
Wang Liang said puzzledly: "We still have a lot of soldiers and horses here in Qianhusuo. If we leave like this, if all these soldiers and horses are left, I am afraid that we will be leaderless and it will be difficult to defend this place."
"Idiot, it took the thieves less than a day to capture Daizhou City. It is even impossible to defend this small Qianhu Station where we are stationed. If we don't leave at this time, we will become prisoners of the thieves. ." Wang Hu scolded.
Wang Liang hesitated and said: "Did the Yuan family and his son say that the reason why Daizhou City fell so quickly was because Zhizhou colluded with the bandits? Moreover, before Commander Yuan left, he ordered us to stay here and wait for his return."
"Why do I have a fool like you by my side?" Wang Hu glanced at him and said, "Originally, I thought that the fall of Daizhou City might be due to Zhizhou's involvement in thieves, but the Yuan family and his son were in such a hurry to leave, I I just want to understand, what nonsense is it to be a traitor? Does a local official of the fifth rank in Zhizhou need to be a traitor? What ability does Liu Liu have to attract such a local official to take the initiative to lead the thief? "
A local magistrate suddenly became a thief. He could not think of a reason for joining the thief, so he decided that the Yuan family and his son were deliberately trying to fool him so that he could stay here and die.
"Young man, go and get ready." Wang Liang turned and ran away.
Wang Hu stood alone outside the Qianhu House, looking at the direction in which Yuan Chaoju and his son disappeared, and said coldly: "Since you and your son were the first deserters to abandon the city, you can protect me from future accountability from the court. "
All the soldiers and servants in Qianhusuo quickly gathered outside Qianhusuo.
Wang Hu left behind more than a thousand soldiers from the guard camp without any regrets, and fled the Qianhu camp where he had been stationed before with only his own soldiers and servants.
And his sudden departure directly left the soldiers and horses in Qianhusuo without a leader. The abandoned soldier immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately fled Qianhusuo with his family.
Without the head of the army, the ordinary soldiers had no restraint. At first, a few brave soldiers began to plunder some goods and food in Qianhusuo.
When others saw that no one was trying to stop them, chaos soon broke out throughout Qianhusuo. Looting could be seen everywhere, and many soldiers even used knives on other soldiers for some property.
Not long after, chaos broke out everywhere in Qianhusuo. Many houses were set on fire. Some soldiers killed each other in Qianhusuo, and some took advantage of the chaos to sneak away from Qianhusuo.
The light from the burning house attracted the attention of people holding the Tiger-Character Flag nearby.
Soon, a group of Tiger Banner cavalry who were looking for traces of Yuan Chaoju and his son outside Daizhou City arrived at Qianhusuo.
"Fight in!"
The leader of the team was a cavalry captain. He raised the saber in his hand, said hello, and took the lead to rush into Qianhuo, which had no defense.
With the appearance of hundreds of cavalrymen under the Tiger Character Banner, the turmoil in Qianhusuo quickly subsided.
A group of injured soldiers and prisoners squatted in an open space.
The captain of the Tiger Banner Cavalry Battalion who led the team rode up to the front of the surrendered troops, looked at the person closest to him, and asked, "Have the Yuan family and his son been here before?"
After calming down the turmoil here in Qianhusuo, he discovered that the highest-ranking person here was actually the general bannerman. There were at least 700 or 800 prisoners captured, and the number of soldiers left behind was at least a Qianhusuo.
"Commander Yuan came here, but he didn't stay long and then left." The prisoner in question happened to be a soldier guarding outside Qianhu Station. He was by the side when Yuan Chaoju entered Qianhu Station and left.
After so many generations of management, they have only reached the position of commander of Zhenwu Guard, and not every generation of commander of Zhenwu Guard is held by their Yuan family.
Many times, the Yuan family only has one commander, Tongzhi.
Yuan Chaoju said: "If you think this commander-in-chief is so easy to do, you will go to Liaodong to fight the slaves. Even if you win the commander-in-chief, your life will remain in Liaodong."
"There are so many general soldiers in Liaodong, so it's nothing. As long as you get the general soldier, it's a good thing to be a general soldier wherever you go. Maybe you can kill more slaves and be knighted in the future." Yuan Chong Said disapprovingly.
When he was still in his prime, he didn't think that going to Liaodong to serve as the general soldier would be a big deal.
Yuan Chaoju glanced sideways at his son and said: "Do you think slave thieves are so easy to deal with? If they were really easy to deal with, most of Liaodong would not have fallen into the hands of thieves. The generals and soldiers would have died." Young Master, Thief Liu is a bandit who has been recruited, and he will only be suppressed when he goes to Liaodong. Sooner or later, he will be killed by the civil servants and generals in Liaodong, and then they will swallow his troops."
"It can't be so serious. After all, they are all officials in the same dynasty. Now the slave thieves are still there, threatening the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong. Even if someone wants to do something, they should wait until the threat of the slave thieves is eliminated." Yuan Chong frowned. Wrinkled, thinking that what his father said was too serious.
