Chapter 919
There was a sound of horseshoes behind him, and the sound of soldiers' war robes fluttered amidst the galloping speed.

Xu Chu knew that the Han army had already pursued him, so he quickly picked up Zhao Kuangyin's body, put it on his horse, and rushed towards Yanzhou.

Tai Shici led his troops to pursue, unable to pursue, so he had to lead his troops back.

A group of soldiers gathered around Tai Shici to ask for a reward: "General, I can assure you that Zhao Kuangyin is definitely dead. My shot pierced Zhao Kuangyin's back with a depth of five inches. He will definitely not survive. If the news of Zhao Kuangyin's death If it is passed on, you have to ask His Majesty for credit for me."

"Yes, yes, I also stabbed him with a shot, and he must not survive."

Other generals and schools who besieged Zhao Kuangyin also competed to ask for credit. Zhao Kuangyin was no better than others. He was a vassal and occupied the land of three states. It can be said that his head was the most valuable.Kill him, and the rewards of fame and fortune will never be used up in this lifetime, so it's no wonder that these generals and schools are vying for it.

Tai Shici shook his head and smiled, if Zhao Kuangyin was really dead, he would still be the one who won the battle.Tai Shici said in a deep voice: "It's still too early to strive for merit. I will remember all of your contributions. If Zhao Kuangyin really died, I would have reported it to His Majesty. But the most urgent task now is to lead the troops to Jinan to borrow With Zhao Kuangyin's defeat, he defeated the main force of the Zhao army."

Tai Shici led the soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield, leaving only some troops to continue stationing here to inquire about the news, then led the troops back to Qi State, and then Tai Shici led the main force to Jinan to join Zhang Xutuo and Zhang Xian's troops.

But it was said that Xu Chu brought Zhao Kuangyin's body back to Mount Tai in Yanzhou. The news of Zhao Kuangyin's death really fell apart to Zhao Pu, Cui Hao, Chen Gong, Cheng Yu and others.

Several people gathered in the mansion, and Zhao Kuangyin's body was left in the front hall. The mansion was also guarded by soldiers, and the servants were not allowed to go out, so as not to leak the news of Zhao Kuangyin's death.

"Tell me, what should we do now?" Everyone was silent, Xu Chu looked at them and asked.

"Xu Zhongkang? Is it because you are incompetent that caused the lord to be in danger?" Cheng Yu immediately pointed at Xu Chu and cursed.

"It's me, Xu Chu, who is incompetent, but if it weren't for..." Xu Chu hesitated to speak.

Zhao Pu's face darkened, and he asked, "What else? The lord's dispatch of troops is a secret. For the lord's safety, the soldiers go out of the city disguised as civilians. But this is still an ambush by the Han army. Is there something wrong with the army? , causing the news of the lord to send troops to leak out."

When Zhao Pu asked here, Xu Chu immediately gritted his teeth, put Zhao Kuangyin's advice behind him, and said coldly, "It was that thief Zhao Guangyi who leaked the news about the lord's dispatch of troops."

Everyone turned pale with shock, and hurriedly asked what happened.

Xu Chu explained the course of the battle, and then said: "I am leading these soldiers and horses. For the safety of the lord, I guard them very closely. The soldiers have no chance to go out and leak secrets. If the spies are revealed, they are also in Yanzhou... You are all confidantes who have followed the lord for many years, and you should not betray the lord, I am afraid that the one who leaked the news is that Zhao Guangyi was placed next to the lord..."

"Is there any last words for my lord before he dies?" Zhao Pu asked in a deep voice.

Xu Chu gritted his teeth, and said: "My lord, let me not tell you the matter, and let you support the second general. I, Xu Chu, have always listened to the lord's words, but this matter is absolutely not. The lord still has an heir, so let's support the son. Succession is announcing Zhao Guangyi's deed, killing that dog thief to avenge the second general."

After hearing Xu Chu's words, all the counselors fell silent.Only Li Dian and other veterans agreed.

Zhao Pu was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, the lord has left a will, we should obey it and not violate it."

Xu Chu's face darkened, and he shouted coldly: "It was Zhao Guangyi who killed the lord. Now that the lord's body is not cold, are you going to turn to others?"

As Xu Chu said, he wanted to kill Zhao Pu.

Cheng Yu, Chen Gong and the others rushed forward to pull them, Zhao Pu said coldly: "What do you know, you fool? Now that the lord is dead, Zhao Guangyi has bought many generals over the years, and only you few generals still obey the lord But when the lord died, those generals couldn't be suppressed anymore.

If you establish your son as the successor and announce Zhao Guangyi's evil deeds, Zhao Guangyi will have a reason to attack us.At that time, not only the foundation established by the master will not be guaranteed, but even the son will die unexpectedly.

We obeyed the lord's will and made Zhao Guangyi the successor, but Zhao Guangyi was afraid of us and didn't dare to do anything to the lord.My lord, he has a long-term vision, so he issued such a will, you reckless man, what do you know? "

Xu Chu was blushed by Zhao Pu's words, but after hearing his words, he also understood the truth. If he confronted Zhao Guangyi, first, the three states would definitely split, and the foundation established by Zhao Kuangyin would be destroyed.Second, once Zhao Guangyi wins, then Zhao Guangyi will definitely kill Zhao Kuangyin's heirs in order to avoid future troubles.

By following Zhao Kuangyin's will, the foundation established by Zhao Kuangyin can be preserved. Even without Zhao Kuangyin, there will be no open and secret struggles, and everyone will be more united.Moreover, Zhao Guangyi would not go to such lengths to mutilate Zhao Kuangyin's heirs, because that would make Zhao Kuangyin's remaining generals rebel.

Xu Chu, who had figured out the reason, was full of unwillingness, and cried bitterly: "Do you want me to commit myself to being a thief?"

Zhao Pu patted Xu Chu on the shoulder and said, "For the sake of my lord's foundation and my son, Zhongkang, you should forget about it. Besides, when my lord went out to leak secrets, it was Tai Shici and others who said it, so you should be Tai Shici and others." It's good to separate."

After Zhao Pu finished speaking, he said to everyone: "You are the same, you have to forget about it. Otherwise, once you mention it, Zhao Guangyi will know about it. He obviously won't kill the young master. But he may assassinate him!"

Everyone is a matter of ingenuity, so they nodded and agreed immediately.

"Now that the two generals Jing Si and Yue Xi are still leading their troops and horses, Tai Shici will definitely go to Jinan. The most urgent thing now is to inform General Jing Si to come back and stabilize their troops. Otherwise, if you call the two generals back rashly, I'm afraid Yanzhou is unstable." Cui Hao said from the side.

Zhao Pu also echoed: "Mr. Cui is right, Li Dian, I will let you go to Jinan to meet General Jing Si back."

"Promise!" Li Dian bowed his hands and accepted the order.

As for the news of Zhao Kuangyin's death, it cannot be leaked out for the time being, and the entire notification city is only allowed to enter but not to exit.Even if Zhao Guangyi's confidants in the city already knew the news of Zhao Kuangyin's death, they couldn't reach Zhao Guangyi's ears.

It's just pity for Zhao Kuangyin, a generation of heroes died unexpectedly, and now it's June again, and the weather is sultry.It is also secret that there is no mourning, so it can only be buried in the corpse hall.

The reason why the news of Zhao Kuangyin's dispatch of troops was leaked was naturally ordered by Zhao Guangyi.

He learned that Zhao Kuangyin was using him and wanted to make meritorious deeds alone, so he ordered his subordinates to secretly inform the Han army of Zhao Kuangyin's marching route.If Zhao Kuangyin led the main force to attack Jinan, at most he would be defeated. How could Zhao Kuangyin, facing the pressure brought by Zhao Guangyi, want to make a surprise attack on Qi State.

Such a marching route is known by the Han army, how can they survive?
