,!
After procrastinating and delaying for a long time, Wang Chengyin finally assembled his team.
When leaving the city, the accompanying motorcade formed a long queue.
"Supervisor, General Wang has led his people out of the city."
As soon as Wang Chengyin left, someone naturally came to Fu Zonglong to report.
After hearing this, Fu Zonglong nodded, and turned to Cao Wenzhao, who had been waiting in the room, and said: "Let General Cao take over the defense of the city. By the way, I remind him that once people leave the city, they must not be allowed back. .”
"Don't worry, Commander, no one can enter the city without your order." Cao Wenzhao assured, patting his chest.
Fu Zonglong nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Chengyin led his team out of the city from the east gate that he was guarding.
Because they were prepared in advance, the east gate was guarded by soldiers. People were not allowed to enter or leave the city through the east gate early on. Only the Ming army in the city could leave the city.
Outside the city, there were still some people waiting to enter the city guarding the roadside, while the people inside the city chose to go further and leave the city in other directions.
When Wang Chengyin's last troops in the city left the city, Cao Bianjiao and his soldiers immediately took over the defense of the city gate and arranged for people to close the city gate.
It goes without saying that Wang Chengyin was not given a chance to regret.
As the last team to leave Jinan City, Zuo Liangyu immediately told Wang Chengyin the news as soon as the city gate closed.
"General, these people have gone too far. As soon as the general's team came out, Cao Bianjiao led his people and closed the city gate. He was afraid that we would go back!" Zuo Liangyu complained in front of Wang Chengyin.
Wang Chengyin didn't show any anger on his face when he heard this, and said in a calm tone: "As expected, Fu has been waiting for me to leave for a long time. How could he let me go back when he saw me leaving the city."
"Director Fu is too unfair to you, General. If it weren't for you, General, Jinan City would have fallen into the hands of tiger thieves long ago. It would be fine if Governor Fu didn't report his merits to you, General, but he still treats you like this. I really can't stand it." Zuo Liangyu pretended to defend Wang Chengyin.
"Okay, okay, it's just Jinan City. Without Jinan City, you can't go anywhere else. Shandong is so big, but this general can't have enough to eat." Wang Chengyin said disapprovingly, without any intention of getting angry.
Zuo Liangyu, who heard this, immediately heard the meaning in Wang Chengyin's voice, and whispered: "General, where should we go next? Are we really going to Dengzhou to fight the main force of the tiger thieves?"
"Do you want to go to Dengzhou?" Wang Chengyin looked at Zuo Liangyu and asked.
Zuo Liangyu shook his head hurriedly.
"It's okay if you don't want to go." Wang Chengyin said, "His surname is Fu. He wants to borrow a knife to kill people. It depends on whether the general will give him these opportunities. Send the order. The army will move forward five miles and then change its route to the west."
"To the west? Where to go?" Zuo Liangyu asked in confusion.
Wang Chengyin glanced at him and said: "Wherever you can go to the west, of course it is Dongchang Mansion."
"Hello, Dongchang Mansion. Ambassador Sun stayed in Liaocheng for a long time. We have exchanged ideas with the uncles and nephews of the Cao family. They came to Jinan City and we went to Liaocheng." Zuo Liangyu said with shining eyes.
He knew that Wang Chengyin would never go to Dengzhou and fight the main force of the Tiger Flag.
Although Liaocheng is not as wealthy as Jinan City, it is still a good place, enough to support their troops.
Moreover, even if the tiger-character flag comes, they can retreat to the north and directly retreat to Julu. From this point of view, it is safer to be stationed in Liaocheng than Jinan City.
Wang Chengyin said proudly: "Fu wants to trick me. Let him dream. I won't play with him anymore. Let's see what he can do to me!"
Back then, he had trapped so many Ming troops on the battlefield in Liaodong, but nothing happened in the end. Now it was just disobeying Fu Zonglong's orders, which in his opinion was nothing.
In the end, he chose to save some face for Fu Zonglong. Instead of going directly to Dongchang Mansion, he took another route farther away from Jinan Fucheng.
However, the fact that he did not go to Dengzhou was not kept secret for long, and soon the news reached Fu Zonglong's ears.
It turned out that Cao Wenzhao was on guard against Wang Chengyin coming back, so he asked Cao Bianjiao to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Wang Chengyin's team secretly, so when Wang Chengyin changed direction, he was discovered.
However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the news, the people following him followed for a while until they were sure that Wang Chengyin and his team were indeed not going to Dengzhou, so they left and came back to report.
The relationship between Cao Wenzhao and Wang Chengyin was not good, so it was naturally impossible for Wang Chengyin to hide it, so he came to Fu Zonglong immediately and told him that Wang Chengyin did not go to Dengzhou.
Fu Zonglong's good mood was quickly annihilated by the news brought by Cao Wenzhao.
"Is everything you said true?" Fu Zonglong had a dark face. He didn't expect Wang Chengyin to be so courageous and dare to openly disobey orders.
Cao Wenzhao said: "The news is accurate. The people who came back to report saw Wang Chengyin leading the army to the west, but I don't know whether it was going to Yucheng or Dongchang Mansion."
"Hmph, where can we go, of course it's Dongchang Mansion." Fu Zonglong snorted coldly.
Although Yucheng is good, if you want to feed a large army, Dongchang Prefecture is more suitable than Yucheng. It is further away from Jinan Fucheng and close to Guangping Prefecture and Julu.
Cao Wenzhao asked: "Supervisor, do you want to give him an order to prevent him from going west?"
"He has blatantly disobeyed my order. Do you think he will still care even if you give him more orders?" Fu Zonglong's face was livid.
Wang Chengyin's blatant disobedience was a slap in the face of his supervisor.
No matter what, I never expected that Wang Chengyin would be so courageous that he would even dare to disobey the orders of his supervisor.
Cao Wenzhao asked: "Then we will let him go to Dongchang Mansion?"
"Otherwise, what do you want to do?" Fu Zonglong asked.
Cao Wenzhao immediately said: "The general is willing to lead a group of troops to pick up Wang Chengyin's team and capture Wang Chengyin and hand him over to you, the supervisor."
After hearing this, Fu Zonglong looked thoughtful.
After a moment, he shook his hand and said: "What's the use of catching him? What's lost is not the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty. What's more, the tigers and thieves in Jinan Mansion are already watching with eager eyes. Once a large number of Ming troops leave Jinan Mansion, There is no guarantee that the tiger thieves will not take the opportunity to attack Jinan Mansion."
"Then it's so easy for him?" Cao Wenzhao looked unwilling.
Fu Zonglong said: "That's it for the time being. The top priority is to recruit troops and train the soldiers. Although the tiger thieves have not directly attacked Jinan Fucheng, there is no guarantee when they will launch an attack. As for Wang Chengyin's matter, I will naturally not let him off lightly. Sooner or later the score will be settled.”
Wang Chengyin got off to a bad start.
Fortunately, the uncles and nephews of the Cao family around him are still loyal, otherwise he would be worried that because of Wang Chengyin's disrespect of orders, he would really become an empty supervisor in the future.
