Chapter 457: The Unjust Death of Hong Chengchou
Faced with the threat, Sun Chengzong, who was guarding the door of the lobby of the General's Mansion, still stood there unmovedly.:.../
After taking a deep look at the Liaoyang General whom he promoted in front of him, he replied with a sarcastic look: "The imperial court's official... Indeed, I am not the imperial court's official now. But what I want to tell you is that I am still a Ming people. As long as I am still a Ming people, I can't watch you surrender to the enemy and treason. I'm sorry for my ancestors..."
"I have all promoted you. If you still have a little conscience, stop and follow me to continue to fight the Tartars... If you don't listen to my advice and still plan to surrender to the Tartars, then step on my body. Otherwise, I will never watch you surrender to the Tartars..."
Faced with Sun Chengzong's repeated insistence, the Liaoyang General, who believed that he had already controlled the military power of the entire Liaoyang defender, was also furious.
At this moment, he didn't care whether Sun Chengzong was blocking the door of the lobby was his old boss. He pointed at Sun Chengzong and cursed: "Sun Chengzong, I have been tolerant of it because you have promoted my general, so I have repeatedly tolerated it and given you face... Don't toast and not eat the punishment... Don't forget that the current Liaoyang City is the final decision."
"As long as I give the order, I don't know if you can leave here... So, I hope you don't meddle in other people's business. Don't lose your life if you don't care about other people's business..."
Faced with the threat of the Liaoyang General's murderous intent, although Sun Chengzong did not speak. However, he still guarded the door of the lobby of the General's Office, unmoved. He directly told the Liaoyang General's General that he did not intend to compromise...
Seeing this, the anger on the face of the Liaoyang General was already covered by murderous aura without realizing it.
After taking a deep breath, he continued with a gloomy face: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for not showing you mercy..."
Speaking of this, in order to survive, the general of Liaoyang actually emitted a strong murderous aura. He shouted loudly to the outside of the lobby: "Come... beat the few people blocked at the door of the lobby to the Liaoyang City with sticks. I would not want to see them again... Come and drive them all out for me..."
What surprised the Liaoyang General was that after he issued the military order, he not only did not see the guards rushing into the lobby of the General's Mansion, but instead heard a sound of fighting from the courtyard of the General's Mansion...
"What's going on? Why don't they come in if I'm going to be in? And what's going on with the fighting outside the lobby..." The general of Liaoyang stared at Sun Chengzong with a pair of shocked and worried eyes.
Sun Chengzong did not hesitate and said directly: "Don't think about it anymore... all the people around your lobby were killed by my guards... You don't think about it. If you don't kill these guards, I can easily walk into the lobby of the General's Mansion and stand in front of you so easily?"
"It seems that although you have become the general, your vigilance is still the same as before, without any strengthening..."
"To be honest, those who want to rush into the lobby of the General's Mansion have been blocked by the guards brought by me."
After saying that, Sun Chengzong, who had already confirmed that the general of Liaoyang in front of him was hopeless, regardless of whether the other party reacted from the shock. He directly ordered Zhou Chenguang, who looked murderous intent beside him.
"General Zhou, why are you still stunned? Since the Liaoyang General is obsessed with it and insists on surrendering to the Tartars and betraying his ancestors, we can only use his head to calm the possible riots in the city..."
As soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking, two figures led by Zhou Chenguang rushed towards the Liaoyang General.
The General of Liaoyang, who looked wrong, had not yet reacted. The agile Zhou Chenguang had already pounced on him. What's more important is that Zhou Chenguang was holding the short knife blade in his hand, which was still dripping with blood, just pressed against the General of Liaoyang's neck.
At this moment, as long as the Liaoyang General made a slight abnormal movement, the short knife that Zhou Chenguang held in his hand would cut open his neck without hesitation, allowing the Liaoyang General’s body to split up.
At the same time, the deputy general standing beside the Liaoyang General was also controlled by a guard from the scout army.
At this time, the deputy general who had already felt a little chill on his neck reacted first.
The whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice hole in an instant, and his whole body became stiff in an instant.
At the same time, beads of sweat the size of beans were like spring water, constantly gushing out from their foreheads.
Looking at Sun Chengzong in front of him, he became frightened at this moment. Then he begged to Sun Chengzong with a panic look on his face and said, "Sir, please spare me... Sir, please spare me... Sir, please forgive me... As long as you give an order, you can cooperate as much as you want."
After the deputy general finished speaking, the general of Liaoyang, who had a pale face, finally reacted from his shock.
He was afraid of death and could no longer see the arrogance he had just now. He begged for mercy in horror at Sun Chengzong, saying, "Sir, please spare me... I am obsessed with my ghosts and blinded by interests... As long as I spare me, I will definitely listen to you..."
After Sun Chengzong was unmoved, he shook his head and said with a rare murderous command: "For someone like you who can even betray your ancestors, I have completely no longer believed in you... Go, I hope you can be a person who deserves your ancestors in the next life, and don't do things that will surrender to the enemy and treason..."
As soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking, Zhou Chenguang's short knife in his hand cut the neck of the Liaoyang General.
The knife fell with his hand, and his head was round and dying with his eyes closed. Zhou Chenguang used a short knife to cut off the Liaoyang General.
The deputy general, who was already full of fear, instantly suffered a defeat after seeing the bloody scenes around him. Perhaps it was because of fear, or perhaps it was because of despair, and he was stunned on the spot, not even knowing how to say something.
At this time, Sun Chengzong spoke.
"As for you, I think that you are not the mastermind, and I will temporarily surround you. However, death penalty can be avoided, and living crime cannot be escaped... In order to make up for your fault, from now on, you must listen to me unconditionally. Whatever I ask you to do, you will do? Otherwise, you will still be unable to escape death..."
Hearing this, the deputy general's stiff body seemed to have been pulled away in an instant, and he collapsed on the ground.
After feeling the cold air on his neck had disappeared, he quickly knelt in front of Sun Chengzong and said with a look of surviving disaster: "Please rest assured, I will definitely obey the command of my elders, and I will never dare to have two intentions..."
Sun Chengzong nodded and ordered to Zhou Chenguang: "Tie a grenade on him immediately. If you don't obey the command, just ignite the grenade and blow him into a pile of debris..."
The power of the grenade was heard by the deputy general even if he had never seen it. So as soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking, the deputy general who was kneeling on the ground continued to kowtow to Sun Chengzong and promised loudly: "Please rest assured, the general must have no strange intentions..."
Things have developed to this point. Since entering Liaoyang City, Sun Chengzong has been nervous and has slowly relaxed.
Because, excluding the Liaoyang General and the Deputy General Controller's result was far beyond their expectations.
Sun Chengzong believed that with the help of this deputy general, the chance of his success in controlling the Liaoyang garrison would become very high.
Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong directly ordered the deputy general who was kneeling in front of him: "I bring limited personnel. Now, I order you to immediately ask the guards around to stop rushing to the lobby of the General's Mansion and stand by on the spot..."
"General Zhou, take a brother and go out with him..."
The deputy general took action, and the riot that occurred in the General's Office was immediately pacified. Not only that, an order was also reported by the deputy general to the General's Office.
"After two hours, all the generals and officers of the entire army will immediately go to the General Office to report and accept the general order..."
After the series of layouts were completed, Sun Chengzong, who breathed a sigh of relief, immediately thought of Hong Chengchou, the Liaodong Strategic Commander who was still controlled in the General Office.
He asked to the deputy general who looked guilty in front of him, "Your strategy commander, take me to see him immediately... If he can cooperate with me in two hours, the chance of success will become greater..."
"Yes, sir..." The deputy general did not dare to disobey, and quickly led the way in front and walked to the backyard where Hong Chengchou was imprisoned by the General's Office.
The heavily guarded door was opened by the deputy general himself. The first deputy general to enter the room was stunned on the spot, motionless...
Because what the deputy general saw in the room was not the living Hong Chengchou, but a corpse hanging from the beam of the house.
Hong Chengchou, who was still wearing an official uniform, was staring at his eyes with a reluctance on his face, hanging himself on the beam of the house with his eyes closed.
At this time, Sun Chengzong, who felt a little strange, hurried in.
After seeing Hong Chengchou's body hanging on the beam of the house, he was shocked and asked loudly to the deputy general in front of him: "What's going on? Didn't you just say that the strategy makes the adults still live well? Why is the body I see now..."
"This... sir, I don't know... When I delivered meals to the Master of the Legislative Order this afternoon, the Master of the Legislative Order was still alive... Not only that, the General and the Last General issued strict orders, and no one could disturb or harass the Master of the Legislative Order. According to the General's idea, the Master of the Legislative Order was his gift to the Later Jin Tartars..."
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from Zhou Chenguang's mouth.
"Chief of Staff... There is a blood letter on Lord Hong Chengchou's clothes... Lord Hong Chengchou was not hung by someone, he committed suicide and did not want to be given to the Later Jin Tartars by the General of Liaoyang as a gift to betrayed the Ming Dynasty..."
"After having no choice, Master Hong Chengchou wrote a bloody letter and committed suicide by hanging his beam..."
