Hong Chengchou, who had fallen into a semi-comatose state, tried his best to get up from his seat. However, the power of the drug is definitely not spoken.

Before Hong Chengchou could really stand up, he fell to the ground because of a coma and collapsed in the military tent.

At the same time, the hundreds of guards who were responsible for protecting Hong Chengchou also fainted to the ground one after another.

In less than half an hour, the guards who had fainted next to the tent were tied up to death. He then threw himself into several tents and trapped him to death.

As for the guards who were supposed to be guarding next to Hong Chengchou's military tent, they were all replaced by elite soldiers transferred from his henchmen by the Liaoyang General Army.

After holding Hong Chengchou, the Liaodong Economic Envoy, in his hand, the last trace of worry in the heart of the Liaoyang General Soldier disappeared directly.

On the one hand, with the name of Hong Chengchou, the envoy of Liaodong, he grasped the military power of the entire defender army step by step. On the one hand, he sent negotiators to secretly go to the Tartar military camp to negotiate with the Houjin Tartars, striving to gain the greatest benefits for himself after taking refuge in the Houjin Tartars.

However, what the general soldier of Liaoyang did not expect was that when he began to plot to rebel against the imperial court. On the official road a hundred miles away from Liaoyang, a large cavalry unit was rushing towards Liaoyang City along the official road.

The mighty cavalry team wiped out four Tartar cavalry scouts in a row, and rushed to the last twenty miles away from Liaoyang City, so they stopped directly and began to camp on the spot and build a military camp......

This huge cavalry force was none other than the two field divisions of the Tiger and Leopard Army personally commanded by Wei Zheng and Sun Chengzong.

As a former envoy to Liaodong, Sun Chengzong did not even look at the map. I also know the terrain around Liaoyang clearly.

On the plains with sweeping views. Speed superiority of cavalry. You can play it all out. More importantly, the terrain around Liaoyang is very suitable for large-scale cavalry charges.

Under such circumstances, if the two field divisions under his command rashly entered, they would definitely be attacked head-on by the Houjin Iron Cavalry.

When the time comes, in the face of the Houjin Iron Cavalry, who has an absolute superiority in strength, even if he can retreat with his whole body, his subordinates are not particularly good at cavalry fighting at close range. There will be a lot to lose because of this......

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Sun Chengzong, chief of staff, directly proposed that the military camp be arranged at a position twenty miles away from the battlefield.

After a continuous march of guards, he just walked into the military tent to rest. Zhou Chenguang, who went to Liaoyang one step in advance, brought him a very intriguing news.

After several days of bloody battles and fighting, no fighting broke out on the battlefield in Liaoyang for two consecutive days.

If you analyze it according to the convention, in the face of yourself who is about to rush to the battlefield, the Houjin Tartars who besiege Liaoyang City. I will definitely do my best. Seize the last bit of time and launch an attack on Liaoyang City. Strive to rush to the outside of Liaoyang City by yourself. Capture the city of Liaoyang and hold him......

Otherwise, after he arrived in Liaoyang City, he would be surrounded outside Liaoyang City, and the Houjin Tartars, who had not yet captured Liaoyang, would fall into a dangerous situation of being attacked on their backs......

Wei Zheng believed that it was impossible for the commander-in-chief of the tens of thousands of Tartars on the battlefield of Liaoyang not to see this.

However, since he knew the series of dangers that the enemy might bring to him, he surprisingly stayed where he was. This has to make Wei Zheng think about whether there is any conspiracy that he doesn't know about.

Because, there is a good saying, that is, when something goes wrong, there must be a reason......

After some contemplation, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Wei Zheng's mind, making Wei Zheng's calm face instantly become gloomy.

Could it be that the defenders in Liaoyang City have already surrendered to the Houtai Tartars......

Otherwise, why didn't the stamina Tartars who surrounded Liaoyang City worry about the defenders of Liaoyang City taking the initiative to attack them and putting them in a dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy on their backs......

Out of caution about what he had just thought, Wei Zheng did not make judgments on his own. Instead, he called Sun Chengzong, who was the most knowledgeable and clear general of the Liaoyang team, at the first time. I'm going to hear Sun Chengzong's thoughts.

After reading the information, Sun Chengzong's face also became gloomy in an instant.

However, after listening to Wei Zheng's analysis of this matter, he directly shook his head and denied: "Impossible...... Marshal, with my understanding of Hong Chengchou, the envoy of Liaodong Economic Strategy, Hong Chengchou will die in Liaoyang City, and he will never surrender to Houjin Tartar. ”

Wei Zheng still has a certain understanding of Hong Chengchou.

To be honest, Wei Zheng didn't believe that Hong Chengchou, who could leave a heavy mark in the history books, could surrender Houjin.

However, the current situation, except for the fact that the defenders of Liaoyang have surrendered to Houjin, can be explained. For other reasons, there is simply no way to explain this very abnormal situation.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng directly shifted his gaze to Sun Chengzong.

I hope that the chief of staff in front of him, who has served as an envoy to Liaodong, can give himself a more reasonable explanation.

However, Wei Zheng was disappointed.

Under his own gaze, Sun Chengzong's facial expressions were directly invisible, from firmness at the beginning, to hesitation, and then to suspicion now......

Seeing this, Wei Zheng hurriedly asked, "Chief of Staff, is there a problem?" Do you also suspect that Hong Chengchou has defected to the enemy......"

Sun Chengzong nodded and replied, "Dashuai, it's not that I suspect it...... It's just that I can't think of any other reason to explain the situation at hand......"

"I absolutely don't believe that the Tartar generals didn't see the danger involved. I am also someone who has dealt with the Houjin army. In my opinion, none of the eight banner owners of the stamina are vegetarians......"

"So, if you think about it, the reason can only be in our own people......"

Speaking of this, a trace of firmness directly appeared on Sun Chengzong's face, and he pleaded with Wei Zheng: "Dashuai, I have a request, I hope Dashuai can approve ......"

"No matter what happens in Liaoyang City, I want to go to Liaoyang City in person. I believe that with my prestige among all the border armies in Liaodong, after entering Liaoyang City, I will definitely be able to take command of the Liaoyang garrison. When the time comes, I will be able to command the defenders of Liaoyang, cooperate with you, the commander, and attack inside and outside, and hit the Houjin Iron Cavalry that surrounded Liaoyang and invaded Liaodong. ”

Wei Zheng denied without thinking about it: "No, absolutely not...... You are the chief of staff of the Haw Par Army, and this commander will never allow you to put yourself in danger...... Now, no one knows the situation in Liaoyang City, and if you enter now, you are joking with your own life. ”

Sun Chengzong, who seemed to have made up his mind in his heart, was unmoved and continued: "Dashuai, no matter what the situation in the city is, I will go to Liaoyang City on this trip to ......."

Seeing that Wei Zheng was about to speak, Sun Chengzong waved his hand directly and continued: "Dashuai, I understand your kindness. However, I know the importance of Liaoyang City better than anyone else. With our strength to enter Liaodong, only with the help of the defenders of Liaoyang City can we turn defeat into victory and achieve victory......"

"As for my safety, don't worry, Dashuai. Whether it is an ordinary soldier in Liaodong or those commanders and generals, I have a high prestige among them. Even if they do surrender to the Tartars, I believe that they will not dare to do anything to me. In addition, I also believe that if they really surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it will only be the decision of a small number of generals in the army, and it has nothing to do with most of the generals of the entire Liaoyang garrison...... As long as I can enter Liaoyang City, I can bring these soldiers back and continue to use them for my use, guarding Liaodong and fighting Tartars......"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng, who had a cautious face, still refused unmoved: "No, what you just said is to take it, it's all your wishful thinking." Before you find out the true situation of Liaoyang City, Ben Shuai will never allow you to enter Liaoyang City and risk your life...... So, don't even think about it......"

To Wei Zheng's surprise, in the face of his unnegotiable refusal, the firm expression on Sun Chengzong's face not only did not have the slightest intention of dissipating, but became more and more intense......

Under Wei Zheng's gaze, Sun Chengzong unexpectedly knelt in front of him and said sincerely.

"Dashuai, there's no time left...... The longer the time drags on, the more accidents may occur in Liaoyang City. ”

"In addition, the reason why I must go to Liaoyang. In addition to fighting for a usable soldier with decent combat effectiveness for the marshal, in order to repay the marshal's kindness. There are two more very important reasons. ”

"First, I used to be an envoy to Liaodong, and I know very well the importance of Liaodong. Once Liaodong falls into the hands of the Tartars, the entire national strength of the Tartars will certainly be greatly improved. When the time comes, the Tartars will raid south more and more frequently. ”

"Second, the tens of thousands of border soldiers who held Liaoyang City were all recruited and trained by me back then. I must not watch them turn to the Tartars and betray their ancestors. ”

"So, this trip to Liaoyang, I have to go...... Please allow me to ......"

Hearing this, Wei Zheng was silent.

After a short entanglement, he shouted at Zhou Chenguang outside the military tent.

"General Zhou, come in immediately...... Ben Shuai has a heavy responsibility for you...... If you can't finish it, come to ......"

Zhou Chenguang assured loudly: "Please rest assured, no matter what the task, as long as the commander speaks, the end will be completed." ”

After finishing speaking, he continued to speak: "Please give the general order......

"Very good..."Wei Zheng nodded with a satisfied expression.

Then, he ordered to Zhou Chenguang: "There is only one task given to you by this commander, and that is to ensure the safety of the chief of staff..."

"Tonight, the Chief of Staff will pass through the Tartar defense line and secretly enter Liaoyang City. The commander wants you to send twenty elite soldiers from the scout army, bring muskets and enough ammunition to protect the chief of staff..."

"In addition, Ben Shuai also told you that the border army guards in Liaoyang City are likely to have surrendered to Houjin Tartar. Therefore, the chief of staff's trip will be fraught with risks. Therefore, the twenty soldiers you have selected must not only be brave, but also clever..."

Zhou Chenguang replied with a cautious face: "Please rest assured, the last general will personally escort and protect the chief of staff... The safety of the chief of staff will be guaranteed, so please rest assured. (To be continued......)
