The letter asking for help from Jinan Prefecture was quickly delivered to Fu Zonglong.
In order to get Fu Zonglong's attention, King De of Jinan Mansion even wrote a letter in his own handwriting, asking Fu Zonglong to lead troops back to Jinan Mansion to put down the rebellion.
All the large areas of land owned by Prince De in Jinan Prefecture were distributed by Xu Guang to the nearby people in the name of the farmers' association, which made Prince De's land deeds useless.
Unless the Ming army goes out of the city to drive away the people of the Tiger Flag, suppress the local people, and regain the fields.
However, the Ming army did not dare to leave the city. Although the powerful gentry who dared to protect their own wealth dared to resist, they resisted, but they were no match for the tiger-character flag troops led by Xu Guang, and they became Xu Guang's ghosts one by one.
Xu Guang, who had limited troops, showed no mercy to any squire who dared to resist in Jinan Prefecture. As long as he participated in the resistance, he would be directly executed, and then quickly get the peasant association to join in to appease the people.
When Fu Zonglong received the letter from Jinan Prefecture, Xu Guang had captured almost half of Jinan Prefecture.
"Bo Ya, something happened in Jinan Mansion."
Fu Zonglong called Sun Chuanting over, hurriedly told what happened in Jinan Prefecture, and gave Sun Chuanting the letter from Jinan Prefecture to read.
"What do you think of the supervisor?" Sun Chuanting asked Fu Zonglong after reading the letter.
Fu Zonglong hesitated for a moment and said: "My idea is to stay here and not take care of the affairs of Jinan Prefecture for now. After we deal with the main force of tiger thieves coming to the state, we can use the momentum of a great victory to put an end to the thieves in Jinan Prefecture. "
"What if we can't deal with the main force of tiger thieves coming to the state?" Sun Chuanting asked.
Fu Zonglong was silent.
He was unable to deal with the main force of the Tiger Banner in Laizhou, and also caused the loss of Jinan Prefecture. He, the governor, was afraid that he would be criticized by the court.
"One more thing." Sun Chuanting said, "Once General Wang knows about Jinan Mansion, how to ensure that he will not lead his troops back to Jinan Mansion on his own?"
When he was in Dongchang Mansion, Wang Chengyin had a drama about dividing his troops and going to Jinan Mansion.
Sun Chuanting had to doubt that Wang Chengyin would follow suit again.
"It is precisely because I was worried that Wang Chengyin would disobey orders and return to Jinan Mansion on his own that I did not find him. Instead, I asked Boya to come alone to discuss with me." Fu Zonglong said.
He learned about the things Wang Chengyin did after coming to Shandong from other channels, so he never particularly trusted Wang Chengyin.
It's true that what Wang Chengyin did couldn't completely reassure him.
"Actually, there is another way." Sun Chuanting lowered his voice, stretched out his finger to point at the enshrined Shang Fang Sword, and said, "Find Wang Chengyin, and then directly ask for the Shang Fang Sword."
As he spoke, he made a chopping motion with his hand.
Fu Zonglong's heart moved, and he immediately shook his head and said: "No, the war is imminent. If Wang Chengyin is moved at this time, it will easily cause the army to chaos. The army must not take a natural position at this time."
Killing Wang Chengyin was nothing. He was worried that after killing him, he would delay the main force of the army to encircle and suppress the Tiger Flag.
"Then there is no better way. If the Superintendent wants to stay and fight the tiger thief, the only way is to hide it from Wang Chengyin quickly, and the longer he can hide it, the better." Sun Chuanting said.
Fu Zonglong thought for a moment and said, "It's difficult. Wang Chengyin has stayed in Jinan Mansion for a long time. It's hard to guarantee that someone in Jinan Mansion won't notify him secretly."
"In this case, then lead the troops back to Jinan Mansion and make sure that Jinan Mansion is not lost first." Sun Chuanting said.
After hearing this, Fu Zonglong shook his head and said: "Things are not that simple. The tiger thieves have begun to increase their troops from Henan to Shandong. Even if we go back and stabilize the situation in Jinan Prefecture, once the main force of the tiger thieves takes over Dongsan Prefecture, , plus Yanzhou Prefecture, one of the three western prefectures, most of Shandong will fall into the hands of tiger thieves, and the capital will be completely trapped."
"If you continue to break up, you will be subject to chaos. It is better for the supervisor to make a decision earlier." Sun Chuanting said.
As a military commander, he was under much less pressure than Fu Zonglong. Even if all three Dongfang mansions were lost, the first person the court would blame was the governor, Fu Zonglong.
Fu Zonglong hesitated.
If Jinan Prefecture is lost, only the Dongchang Prefecture will be left in the West Three Prefectures. Regardless of the West Three Prefectures, the East Three Prefectures may not be able to be saved.
Now he doesn't know whether to try his best to protect Dongsan Prefecture or withdraw his troops back to Jinan Prefecture to ensure that Jinan Prefecture is not lost first.
"We don't have much time left. The supervisor needs to make a decision early." Sun Chuanting reminded Fu Zonglong.
Fu Zonglong looked thoughtful.
The six prefectures of Shandong are divided into three east prefectures and three west prefectures.
Originally, these six prefectures were under the jurisdiction of the governor of Shandong. Later, because of the addition of governor Denglai, the three west prefectures were generally handed over to the governor Denglai. The governor of Shandong was more in charge of the affairs of the three east prefectures.
But nominally, the governor of Shandong was still in charge of the military affairs of the six prefectures, but the coastal defense and navy were basically managed by the governor Denglai.
As the governor of Shandong, Fu Zonglong is in charge of the suppression of bandits in Shandong, so he is qualified to intervene and intervene in matters on the ground in Shandong, but if something goes wrong, he must also bear responsibility.
When he came to Shandong, he only lost Yanzhou Prefecture, but when he arrived in Shandong, he saw that Jinan Prefecture was also lost, and Laizhou and Dengzhou, the three western prefectures, were also in danger.
"We can't leave because we can't deal with the main force of the tiger thieves in Laizhou. Even if we go back, we can temporarily solve the situation in Jinan Prefecture. When the main force of the tiger thieves is free, we can still deal with Jinan Prefecture again." Fu Zonglong looked determined.
I decided in my mind that I would like to attend the Expo in Laizhou.
Sun Chuanting asked: "Is Wang Chengyin trying to hide it as much as possible?"
"If you don't hide it from him, he will know it sooner or later. It's better to tell him earlier and see how he chooses!" Fu Zonglong's tone showed murderous intent.
Once Wang Chengyin refused to listen to his orders, he decided to kill people to establish his authority, even if it weakened the right wing of the army.
"Then, do you want me to send someone to inform Laizhou and ask them to send troops to attack the tiger bandits with us and fight the main force of the tiger bandits as early as possible?" Sun Chuanting asked.
Fu Zonglong thought for a while and said: "We can't count on Laizhou. We can only rely on ourselves to fight the main force of the tiger thieves. In this way, you send a team of scouts to find out the location of the main force of the tiger thieves. I will fight with Wang Chengyin here." Let’s talk about Jinan Mansion.”
"Okay." Sun Chuanting nodded.
It is not difficult to find the main force of Tiger Flag.
In fact, it is no secret where the main force of Tiger Character Banner is, and he only needs to make this position smaller.
And in the event of a decisive battle, in his opinion, the Ming army had no chance at all.
In terms of military strength, the Ming army has an advantage, and the main force of the Tiger Banner's food route is cut off, which will definitely be affected. This is an opportunity for the Ming army to win.
The Ming army quickly moved into action, and Sun Chuanting's left wing troops immediately began to move in the direction of the main force of the Tiger Flag.
