Chapter 266: Zhang Qianhu's Retribution
This small episode did not affect Zhu Hao's march, just as Zhu Hao's eager march also did not affect the change of the situation.
Zhu Hao rushed to the city of Shanhaiguan overnight that night, but he repeatedly called the pass, but the other party did not open it, and he was greeted by a wave of feather arrows when he called again.
If Zhu Hao didn't look at it for the sake of the Ming army, he really wanted to forcibly attack the attack at this moment, of course, this could only be thought about, after all, he didn't have any siege equipment.
Zhu Hao looked at the dark night, it was indeed not easy to talk, there were indeed some friends and foes, in the face of the attitude of the Shanhaiguan guards, Zhu Hao could only order to camp first, and wait for dawn to talk about it.
Although Zhu Hao ordered to set up camp, Zhu Hao stayed awake all night this night, and Zhu Hao instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Because even if there was a battle in Liaodong, Shanhaiguan would not be so defensive against the army in the Ming Dynasty.
gave Zhu Hao the feeling that there must have been a big incident in Liaodong that would make the guards of Shanhaiguan so cautious.
Once Zhu Hao's thought was generated, it was difficult to dispel it in his mind for a long time, and it was precisely because of this thought that Zhu Hao lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.
Zhu Hao, who had not slept all night, finally stayed up until the early morning, and Zhu Hao didn't have time to wash, so he gathered the guards and went to Shanhaiguan to start shouting:
"Listen to the people on the gate, this king hopes that Zhu Youzhen will be ordered by the emperor to loot Liaodong!"
"Wait for the speed switch, otherwise the king's military plane will be delayed, and the king will definitely engage in military law!"
Tianming, the defenders of Shanhaiguan Mountain, naturally saw clearly that Zhu Hao and his party were wearing Ming army uniforms, and at this moment, listening to Zhu Hao's shouting, they immediately did not dare to slack off, so they called the thousands of households guarding the city.
This Qianhu in Shanhaiguan is Zhang Qianhu who came to Shanhaiguan last time and received Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao has already forgotten this little person, but Zhang Qianhu is deeply impressed by Zhu Hao.
After Zhang Qianhu saw Zhu Hao on the city tower, he immediately did not dare to slack off, and ordered someone to switch and connect Zhu Hao and his party to Shanhaiguan.
Zhu Hao entered Shanhaiguan, and after sitting down in the Shanhaiguan General Soldier's Mansion, Zhang Qianhu said with a sneer:
"Lord Wang, did you come to Shanhaiguan this time to rescue Liaodong?"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Qianhu's words, frowned slightly, and said suspiciously:
"Rescue?"
"What rescue?"
"Is something happening in Liaodong?"
"Why hasn't the king heard any military news?"
Zhang Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao's words, and hurriedly explained:
"Lord Wang, don't you know, Liaoyang City has fallen three days ago!"
"The last general is afraid of causing panic, so he blocks the news!"
"The last general hasn't had time to report to the imperial court!"
"Therefore, you don't know, Lord Wang!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Qianhu's words, his face sank like water, and he said coldly:
"Since you haven't reported to the court yet, how do you think that this king has come with reinforcements?"
"What the hell are you hiding from this king!"
"Let's be honest!"
Listening to Zhu Hao's words, Zhang Qianhu's body suddenly trembled unconsciously, and then hurriedly explained:
"This is explained by Lord Yuan, don't report to the court first!"
"The last general thinks that the prince came suddenly, and he was invited by Lord Yuan!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Qianhu's pale explanation, and said coldly:
"As a garrison of Shanhaiguan, you have the duty to report the situation in Liaodong to the imperial court!"
"How dare you know and not report it!"
"What are your intentions?"
"What's the point?"
"Could it be that you colluded with Houjin with the intention of surrendering to Cheng?"
This Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao's questioning, and knelt on the ground with a plop, and begged for mercy:
"Lord Wang, the last general knows that he is wrong!"
"But the last general really didn't surrender Houjin!"
"Please also ask the prince to know the truth!"
Zhu Hao knew in his heart that this Zhang Qianhu must not have surrendered Houjin, otherwise, he would not have brought himself into Shanhaiguan.
The reason why Zhu Hao said that just now was actually deliberate, he was just to scare this Zhang Qianhu so that Zhang Qianhu could tell the truth.
Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Qianhu's words, sighed, and then said:
"Since you didn't surrender Houjin, then why delay should be delivered to the imperial court's military report!"
"What are your intentions and plans?"
"Let's be honest!"
Zhang Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao's stern tone, and he had no master, and kowtowed indiscriminately:
"The prince spares his life, and the last general will tell the prince!"
"The last general is Lord Yuan's nephew, and the last general, the position of a thousand households, is also promoted by Lord Yuan!"
"Lord Yuan asked the last general to conceal it and not report it, and the last general will not dare to disobey!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zhang Qianhu's words, slapped the table fiercely and shouted:
"Yuan Yingtai, you should be killed!"
Saying that, Zhu Hao took a deep breath and asked:
"This king asks you, since Liaoyang has been lost, where is Yuan Yingtai now?"
"How many soldiers and horses are left in the imperial court?"
After Zhang Qianhu told the inside story, he didn't plan to hide Zhu Hao, and even said:
"Lord Wang, Lord Yuan accidentally fell into the ambush of Jianyu yesterday and has been martyred!"
"The 130,000 troops of the imperial court have been lost!"
Zhu Hao knew that the loss of Liaoyang would inevitably be a huge loss, but when he heard Zhang Qianhu's words, Zhu Hao still felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Zhu Hao shook his head vigorously to sober himself up, and after a while, Zhu Hao looked up to the sky and sighed:
"Yuan Yingtai misled the country!"
Then Zhu Hao looked down at Zhang Qianhu who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly:
"Since you are so loyal to Yuan Yingtai, you should go and accompany him!"
"Thank you, this king, you guard the mountain customs for this king!"
"Now you can die!"
Zhu Hao said and shouted: "Come on, drag out this bastard who concealed the military report and cut it down!" ”
That Zhang Qianhu listened to Zhu Hao's words, and when he fell to the ground softly, he begged for mercy again and again:
"Your Highness, the last general has said everything, you can't kill the last general!"
"Your Highness, spare your life......"
"Your Highness......"
Zhu Hao didn't pay attention to Zhang Qianhu's plea for mercy, for such a thousand households who were loyal to Yuan Yingtai and committed such a big crime, Zhu Hao really had no place to settle except to send him to death.
After all, this guy is now the garrison of Shanhaiguan, Yuan Yingtai is dead again, and the imperial army has lost all the enemy's hands, and his holy decree of passing through Liaodong is like waste paper, and this Shanhaiguan garrison may not listen to the greeting.
For Zhu Hao, now that Liaoyang has been lost, Zhu Hao must control Shanhaiguan in his own hands, so this Zhang Qianhu must die.
Because Zhu Hao didn't speak again, Zhang Qianhu was ruthlessly pulled out by the Praetorian Guards accompanying Zhu Hao to rectify the law on the spot.
Zhang Qianhu never thought that retribution would come so quickly, he had just despised Zhu Hao two months ago, and two months later, he died in Zhu Hao's hands.
