Hearing what Li Zhe said, Li Hao and Li Chi were both taken aback, they targeted Li Zhe and others, except for the two of them and a small number of Li Chi's cronies, no one else would know, and now, they were actually known by their own targets, and this matter was beyond their expectations.

Seeing Li Chi and Li Hao's surprised looks, Li Zhe and Li Qi were both angry and happy, "What? Did I say yes? I, Li Zhe and others, how are I to Chu Jun? How is it to you, Li Chi? Do you want us to die now? Ha ha...... Ridiculous, since you want us to die, then we have to send you on your way first. ”

"I just didn't expect this operation to go so smoothly that my previous worries have become redundant at this moment. It seems that in your minds, it is determined that we are decided. However, now it seems that the victor should be us. As he spoke, Li Zhe's face was happy. Li Zhe can't help but be careful. In order to block the four gates as a precaution, block the possibility of asking for help from outside the city, and capture the city's Chinese military officials to prevent Li Zhi from fleeing and using the hundred officials against him. Now it seems that these are completely unnecessary.

The reason why this is the case is also because of Li Chi's carelessness. After all, this is the seat of the Chu army, located in the center of Xuzhou. Moreover, he also sent people to arrow Li Zhe and others, but he didn't expect that there would be Zhao Jun's Shadow Division to cooperate.

Li Chi looked at Li Zhe with a hideous face, and said in a deep voice: "The king of victory is defeated, and I, Li Chi, admit defeat." But you are doing this, are you going to put my Chu army and my Li family? ”

Li Zhe said coldly: "These, I won't bother you." Did you think about this when you were using us as scapegoats? I and a few others, which one has not made contributions to the Chu army, and which one has not worked hard for the strength of the Li family? But the result? But you have betrayed us mercilessly, and you will kill us. Hum! You are not qualified to speak of justice in our reluctant words. ”

With that, Li Zhe raised his right hand and prepared to order the soldiers to attack. Li Chi's face turned slightly, and he said urgently: "Wait a minute." ”

"Huh? How? Scared now? It's late! Li Zhe said gloomily.

Li Chi laughed, suddenly showed a heroic spirit, and said disdainfully: "Afraid? How many times have I, Li Chi, fought in the past ten years? Will be scared? This king just has some questions that are not clear now, and he wants to ask about them. I don't know, can you Li Zhe explain it to me before the king dies? ”

Before Li Zhe could answer, Li Chi stared at Li Zhe and asked in a deep voice: "This king is going to attack you, I don't know where you got this news?" This king is confident that this operation will definitely not be easily revealed. Although I dare not say that there is a 100% guarantee that there will be no leaks, but, with your ability, it will never be detected. I don't know, can you Li Zhe meet the answer that this king wants to know when he is dying? ”

Li Zhe's face changed slightly, his expression moved slightly, and he immediately smiled: "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it!" If you want to attack us, you will not let us leave. And thou hast sent thy men to spy on us, and thou hast sent thy men to take over the armies in various places. This kind of behavior is enough to make people vigilant. ”

Li Chi shook his head and said, "It's up to you, you can't see the problem from here." The manpower of the armies sent by this king to various places is all for the reason of surrendering Zhao, and it is not only your army that has sent people, but also other armies. This does not mean anything, even if you are suspicious, you do not dare to rebel rashly. ”

A cold light flashed in Li Chi's eyes, and he began to believe more and more in the doubt in his heart.

Li Zhe nodded and said, "You are right, based on these, we really can't guess your Li Chi's purpose." But there are people who see the problem in the behavior between your father and son. ”

"Who is it? Who can be so alert? Li Chi clenched his fists and asked with a hideous face. He wanted to know if Li Zhe's answer could give a reasonable answer to his doubts.

Li Zhe said: "Zuo Cheng Li Fangzong Master Li!" ”

"What? It's him? How so? This king has no intention of attacking him, how can he ......" Hearing Li Zhe's answer, Li Chi suddenly felt a burst of surprise, and muttered to himself with an incredible face.

Li Zhe said coldly: "How is it impossible? Why is it impossible? You didn't attack Li Fangzong, but Li Fangzong didn't know that you wouldn't attack him. Don't forget, Li Fangzong and they are a side branch of the Li family. According to your Li Chi's rules, in the Chu army, the Li family is in power, and among the Li family, the descendants are in charge of the army. And once in addition to accidents and changes, these side branches will naturally feel panicked, and these are all caused by you. ”

"For these side branches with them, when they really encounter danger, the first to be sacrificed is their side branch, not the Li family. I, Li Zhe, admit that none of us have the same talent as the three brothers of Li Fangzong. But among the Chu army, there are many people who are more powerful than the three brothers of Li Fangzong. You say, they sense the danger and don't suspect that you are going to attack them? ”

"In addition, four days ago, Li Fangzong had already transferred his younger brother out of Pengcheng, and now, I am afraid that he has arrived at the opposite place of Zhao Chu. With the assistance of Lord Li Fangzong, tonight's action was achieved. It's just that I didn't expect that things would go even better than ours. Li Chi, your era is over, and you forced it. ”

Accompanied by the shouts and chaotic voices in the city, Li Zhe's words were particularly gloomy. Since then, he Li Zhe has not been able to stop, and he has to bear a lot of infamy. However, he could not do otherwise. Otherwise, he, and his family, will die without a place to be buried.

Looking at Li Fangzong, who was standing behind Li Zhe with a dull face, Li Chi said in a snorting voice: "Li Fangzong, what Li Zhe said is true?" Is this really your plan? ”

When Li Fangzong entered the city of Zhao's army, he was taken down by the secret forces of the Shadow Division and Li Zhe and pulled him under his command. Of course, Xu Gongyi also wanted Li Fangzong to oppose Li Chi and the Li family. In addition, he didn't want to involve the Zhao army in the civil strife of the Chu army openly. Li Chi, the king of Chu, could die, but Zhao Jun could not be burdened with the crime.

And after Li Zhe captured him and Zhao Jun's people appeared, Li Fangzong understood that he had no choice, and he had to bear the infamy of betraying the King of Chu no matter what, after all, he and his two younger brothers would have to serve under King Zhao in the future. In addition, Li Chi is indeed unable to control the Chu army, and it is not suitable to control the Chu army.

Let's not mention that Li Zhe has already entered Pengcheng, Pengcheng is already Li Zhe's world, even if he is a side branch, he can't get used to some of Li Chi's practices. Besides, he, Li Fangzong, has no idea of accompanying Li Chi to die together.

Now, in the face of Li Chi's inquiry, although there is a trace of guilt, it quickly disappears. Li Fangzong nodded and said in a muffled voice: "That's right, Fangzong originally thought that the King of Chu would clean up with Fangzong, so he ......"

Li Chi was dumbfounded for a while, and then laughed bitterly for a while: "Haha...... It turns out that we have harmed ourselves, so we can't blame others. Alas...... At the beginning, I really should have listened to Fangzong's words, otherwise, how could my Chu army still be unable to go out in Xuzhou for more than ten years? However, my son Li Hao is a soldier under King Zhao, and he is King Zhao's envoy this time, if you dare to attack him, you are not afraid that King Zhao will be held responsible? ”

Li Zhe said coldly: "Blame? Ha ha...... Li Chi, aside from your identity as the King of Chu, what else can you value worthy of King Zhao? As for your son Li Hao, aside from his identity as the son of the King of Chu, will King Zhao attach special importance to him? Is there not even Li Hao talented among the Zhao army? Joke, you think I'm scared, get rid of you, King Zhao will definitely not have any blame. ”

"Li Chi, the king of Chu has been repeated, treacherous, and wants to use the opportunity of the confrontation between the Zhao army and the southern princes to counter the Zhao army, who is the mastermind, don't you and I know? King Zhao doesn't know? The capable people in the world are not clear? Amusing! I still don't understand, and you still want to use us as a scapegoat, you are no longer the king of Chu in the past. ”

Being said by Li Zhe like this, Li Chi's heart suddenly became cold, the corners of his mouth opened, and finally he did not refute Li Zhe, for a long time, Li Chi sighed angrily: "What a Zhao king, what a Zhao king, what a person who borrowed a knife to kill, borrowed my Chu army, borrowed my Li family's people, got rid of this king, got rid of the Li family's backbone." Good means, I'm convinced! ”

Since learning that these people were going to get rid of even their own sons and not even give King Zhao face, Li Chi knew that Li Zhe's actions had been supported by Zhao Jun. Otherwise, although Li Zhe and others are reasonable, they will never dare to kill themselves and their son. After all, they all wanted to belong to the Zhao State, and if they killed the envoy sent back by the King of Zhao for no reason, they would have escaped from the problem.

What shocked Li Chi was that after such an action, the Li clan declined rapidly, and with the help of Li Zhe and others, a large number of talents of the Li clan would definitely be eliminated, but Li Zhe and others would never be able to get a new appointment of other members of the Li clan, and the side branches, who were also standing with Li Zhe at the moment, would definitely rely on King Zhao to set up another family in the future.

In this way, not only did it greatly weaken the Li family, but also made the Li family fall apart, and the top clan in Xuzhou will never be restored again. In addition, getting rid of him, the surrendered king of Chu, Zhao Jun did not bear any unfavorable reputation in the slightest.

"Kill! There is no one in the palace of the king of Chu! Li Zhe glanced at Li Chi coldly and ordered coldly.

In an instant, the Chu Palace's mansion was plunged into a slaughter, and the screams and cries for help were endless. And Li Chi and Li Hao were first killed by the rebels when Li Zhe and others started. At this moment, the former noble King of Chu and Wang Shizi almost became two big hedgehogs at this moment, and their bodies were full of arrows. There is no way, who let the two of them be the first targets ordered by Li Zhe. Therefore, the first target of the soldiers was the two of them.

After confirming that the identities of these two people were true, Li Zhe was completely relieved, "Now it's okay, the matter has been decided, the overall situation has been decided, and I don't have to worry about waiting." ”

Li Fangzong walked in front of Li Chi and Li Hao's father and son, stood quietly for a while, and said in a low voice: "In comparison, Li Chi really deserves to die, but, Li Hao, is indeed a little wronged. In fact, Li Hao has always been in favor of demoting Zhao. It's a pity that Li Hao was in the Zhao army at the beginning, and he didn't know what happened in the Chu army. ”

Li Zhe said lightly: "Even if Li Hao was there, what could he do?" Do you think Li Hao can stop Li Chi's thoughts? At the beginning, before Li Chi discussed this matter with everyone, he had already given us a military order, asking us to support him to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and find another opportunity. This matter has been decided long before the discussion. It's not that you don't know about the situation of the Chu army, Li Chi decides everything alone, and he can't listen to the opposition of others. Otherwise, Fang Zong, you would not have followed Li Chi's opinion at the beginning, and there was no objection to the opinion we put forward. ”

Li Zhe did not lie to this, it was indeed Li Chi who was the only one in the Chu army who made a decision, and he could not listen to the opposition of others. Otherwise, they will be severely reprimanded at the least, and demoted officials will not be reused. Of course, if Li Chi is angry, then the opponents will suffer, and their lives will probably be endangered. It is precisely because of this that Li Fangzong did not object to Li Chi's opinions with the help of Li Zhe's mouth, but conformed to the other party, and at the same time left room for maneuver for himself.

In fact, whether it is Li Fangzong or Li Zhe, they all know in their hearts that it was King Zhao who wanted Li Chi to die, and it was King Zhao who forced Li Chi to attack them, and it was also King Zhao who made them fight back. Everything in the Chu army is now under the control of Zhao State, and it is advancing according to the requirements of King Zhao. However, they can only passively accept, cannot escape, and cannot escape. Since then, when Li Chi wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wanted to be treacherous, he had already decided the fate of his death.

Li Chi and Li Hao's father and son died, and none of Li Chi and Li Hao's family members survived. A moment later, the entire huge Chu Palace's mansion was already full of blood, and dead bodies were everywhere.

"How? Is the Chu Wangfu cleaned up? Soon, Xu Gong appeared in the Chu Palace's Mansion with a cold face.

Li Zhe said in a deep voice: "Captain Xu, rest assured, there is no one alive in the Chu Palace. Li Chi, Li Hao and their families, none of them survived, and all of them were disposed of. ”

Hearing this, Xu Gong smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Very good, the merits of General Li and Lord Li, I will give you to King Wu." By the way, Li Chi's cronies in the city, aside from you people, the rest have been cleared. You are now a rebel, and in order not to give an excuse to the leading generals in other regions of Xuzhou, you can only dispose of all the people who are close to Li Chi. Tomorrow, he will convene 100 officials of the Chu army to discuss the matter of surrendering Zhao. As for Li Chi's problem, without anyone who opposes it, naturally there will be no problem. ”

In addition, General Li immediately issued a military order to the border city in the name of the king of Chu, and the Fang Zhao army entered the border, took over Xuzhou, and asked the troops along the way to obey the arrangements of the Zhao army. By the way, now that you have eliminated Li Chi, it is time to give orders to the officials and guards in the surrounding areas of Pengcheng. How to do it, Master Li around you should be very clear. ”

Xu Gongyi was reluctant to participate too much in the affairs of the Chu army, and besides, the Shadow Division could not participate too much in local affairs, otherwise, it would be detrimental to a secret organization like them.

However, without Xu Gongyi's guidance, Li Fangzong was not a simple character, and he naturally understood Xu Gongyi's meaning. Subsequently, Pengcheng, who was still in the dark of night, fell into the slaughter, ignoring Li Chi's hostility, or those descendants of the Li clan who obeyed Li Chi's orders, were all purged.

Although Li Fangzong was unwilling, his behavior with Li Zhe tonight was already very resentful of the Li family, even so, he could only sacrifice the other party and fulfill himself.

Under Li Zhe's tough methods, the army in the city became his subordinates under the action of killing more than 100 officers. The officials in the city and some big clans attached to the Chu army were also cleaned up by Li Zhe under Xu Gongyi's hint. These people are all people who are not conducive to Zhao Jun's takeover of the place. Since there is Li Zhe's knife, Zhao Guo will naturally not fail to use it.

And Li Zhe also knows his current position, since he has taken the first step, the following ones can't help him. Now, Li Zhe can only do things according to Zhao Guo's wishes.

The night of killing made the people in the city tremble, and they were afraid that they would accidentally be killed into their homes by the rebels. Fortunately, all this is under the guidance of Zhao Guo, otherwise, these rebellious armies may not be able to tell what kind of damage they will cause to the city.

On the second day, the remaining officials in the city went to the palace of the king of Chu under the "escort" of the sergeants under Li Zhe. At this moment, these officials also figured out what happened last night, although the details are not clear, but, by and large, they still know.

However, when they arrived at the Chu Palace, they couldn't help but take a cold breath when they saw the guards who were still changed in front of the Chu Palace's mansion and the thick bloody atmosphere. The palace of the king of Chu changed its guards, and it also wantonly slaughtered the officials of the prince of Chu and the Li clan last night. Coupled with the news they heard last night, they naturally knew that there must have been a big change in the city.

These officials entered the hall of the King of Chu and looked at Li Zhe and Li Fangzong sitting on it, as well as the heads next to them, and their hearts immediately beat.

"Li Chi, the king of Chu, is dead, and now, General Chu Junben is in charge." As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zhe went straight to the topic. He knew that no matter what he said at this moment, it would not be able to wash away the infamy of his rebellion. In that case, he doesn't want to talk nonsense.

Li Chi originally promised to surrender to Zhao, but he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but the result angered the Zhao army, causing the Zhao army to come to the city. For the sake of the Chu army and the people of Xuzhou, General Ben can only get rid of Li Chi, who is a scourge of the Chu army and the people of Xuzhou. Now, for the sake of the Chu army and the people of Xuzhou, General Ben is willing to take the Chu army to surrender to Zhao, what do you think? Li Zhe asked coldly.

All of a sudden, the officials of the Chu army were all caught in the huge shock that the king of Chu was killed, and no one answered. Just when Li Zhe was angry, Li Fangzong secretly signaled to one person. One of them was clever and said urgently: "General Li is righteous, and I am willing to obey General Li's wishes." ”

With the beginning, the others will naturally not be without eyes, and immediately the resident officials will respond accordingly. At this point, Li Zhe had basically controlled Pengcheng, and with these officials in hand, the garrison troops around Pengcheng no longer had much of a threat.
