Gongsun Zan was indeed poisoned.

Wei Chu and Diao Chan put the poison in the wine pot in advance.

Gongsun Zan had been very careful before.

He waited until Liu Yu finished drinking before picking up the glass.

It's a pity that Gongsun Zan didn't even think about it. Wei Chu had already had murderous intentions towards Liu Yu. Liu Yu would definitely die today whether he drank the poisoned wine or not.

By the way, the poison Wei Chu gave Gongsun Zan was provided by Han Long.

This is a chronic poison. After taking the poison, the user will have to wait three months before dying from the poison.

Wei Chu will use these three months to completely control Liu Yu's army.

Gongsun Zan rode away, but Wangmen died at the hands of Zhao Gai.

Zhao Gaixing stabbed Wangmen more than ten times in succession because of his anger.

"I was ordered to protect the governor, but he died at the hands of Gongsun Zan. This time, I have no face to return to Pinggu City."

Having said this, Zhao Gai put the bloody sword on his neck.

"General Wei, today I will follow the governor. After my death, I will ask you to help take care of my sister."

Zhao Gai finished his words and held the long sword as if he was going to break his own neck.

Wei Chu saw this and reached out in time to grab Zhao Gai's wrist.

"General Zhao, don't be impulsive. We still need your help to prove that Governor Liu did die at the hands of Gongsun Zan. In addition, Gongsun Zan escaped, but General Zhao still has a chance to capture him alive and avenge Governor Liu."

"But……"

Before Zhao Gai could finish speaking, Wei Chu reached out and patted Zhao Gai on the shoulder.

"Following Governor Liu is a completely cowardly act, because you dare not take responsibility. General Zhao, a man, should stand upright and find a way to make up for his mistakes."

"make up?"

Zhao Gai muttered in a low voice, as if he remembered something, and quickly bent down and clasped his fists towards Wei Chu.

"Thank you, General Wei, for the reminder. It's time for Zhao to realize."

The news of Gongsun Zan's attack on Liu Yu seemed to have grown wings, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout Pinggu City and Wuzhong City.

When Gongsun Zan heard the news, he was so aggrieved that he couldn't help but defend himself loudly.

However, almost no one believed Gongsun Zan's excuse.

First of all, Diao Chan is a delicate beauty.

No one believed that such a great beauty could kill Liu Yu in front of General White Horse.

Secondly, Diao Chan had no motive to kill Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was the governor of Youzhou appointed by the imperial court.

Diao Chan is Wei Chu’s woman.

And Wei Chu was known to be loyal to the emperor, so how could Wei Chu send his own woman to attack Liu Yu.

Gongsun Zan is different. Everyone knows that Gongsun Zan had 1 reasons to kill Liu Yu.

Pinggu City.

Qi Zhou immediately summoned the civil and military officials in Pinggu City together.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall seemed very depressing.

Everyone lowered their heads, except Qi Zhou, who looked at Wei Chu and Zhao Gai from time to time, and fell into deep thought from time to time.

"Zhao Gai, now that everyone is here, please tell us again about the attack on the governor."

Zhao Gai turned his head and glanced at Wei Chu who was sitting beside him, then he took a few steps forward, walked to the middle of the hall and said, "After we arrived, we waited for about a stick of incense before Gongsun Zan led Wangmen on horseback. Come."

"Wang Men and I stayed outside the big tent while General Wei, Miss Diao Chan, the governor and Gongsun Zan entered the big tent for an interview."

"I don't know what the governor and others said in the big tent. I only heard Gongsun Zan reaching out and slapping the table from time to time, showing great anger."

"Later, General Wei couldn't stand Gongsun Zan's temper and went outside the tent to get some air. It was at this time that Miss Diao Chan screamed because she was frightened."

"When I heard the sound, I immediately realized something was wrong and rushed into the tent. At this time, the governor was dead, Gongsun Zan was standing in the middle of the tent, and Miss Diao Chan was huddled in the corner of the tent."

"Later, Wangmen drew his sword and stopped me. I couldn't find a chance to kill Gongsun Zan."

After listening to Zhao Gai's words, Qi Zhou turned to look at Wei Chu.

"General Wei, I wonder if Miss Diao Chan can show her face."

Wei Chu put down the water glass in his hand and shook his head at Qi Zhou, "I'm sorry, Diao Chan was frightened and it's not convenient for her to show her face now."

"But……"

This time, before Qi Zhou could finish speaking, Wei Chu slammed the water glass on the table to the ground.

"Qi Zhou, Diao Chan saw Gongsun Zan kill Liu Governor, and Zhao Gai saw Gongsun Zan absconding in fear of crime. Are you still doubting me?"

Without waiting for Qi Zhou to answer, Wei Chu continued to speak loudly: "I am a hussar general of the imperial court, and I have won your majesty's trust. The reason I came to Youzhou this time is to mediate the conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Jishi. Do you suspect that I just doubt today."

Wei Chu put the big hat on Qi Zhou's head, causing a lot of cold sweat to appear on Qi Zhou's forehead.

After all, Qi Zhou was just Liu Yu's sidekick.

He had no confidence at all to confront Wei Chu head-on.

After a moment of pause, Wei Chu continued and said loudly: "Prince Liu is dead. Everyone present should be able to predict what Gongsun Zan will do next?"

As soon as Wei Chu finished speaking, Xian Yuyin shouted loudly from the side: "Gongsun Zan will probably attack us while we are leaderless."

"Not bad!"

Wei Chu nodded towards Xian Yuyin.

"The death of Governor Liu has caused the morale in Pinggu City to drop to the extreme. In addition, Gongsun Zan's strength in Wu Ending City is not much weaker than that of Pinggu City. If Gongsun Zan launches an attack on Pinggu City at this time, do you think Pinggu City can hold on? for how long?"

"Once Pinggu City falls, do you think Gongsun Zan will let you go?"

After Wei Chu finished speaking, everyone in the meeting hall began to discuss in low voices.

After a while, Xian Yufu stood up and asked Wei Chu: "General Wei, I heard that your army is unparalleled. I would like to ask, what do you think we should do next?"

"General Xian Yuyin just said that Gongsun Zan will take advantage of the fact that Pinggu City is leaderless and then attack Pinggu City. So I personally think that the top priority now is to select a replacement for Liu Jishi."

"Replace Governor Liu?"

Qi Zhou muttered lowly and his eyes fell on Wei Chu.

"General Wei, the person you are talking about to replace Governor Liu cannot be you."

When Wei Chu heard Qi Zhou's words, he waved his hand without hesitation, "I, Wei Chu, am an upright person and do things. How could I do something like this?"

"I suggest that Liu He, the eldest son of Governor Liu, lead everyone."

After hearing Wei Chu's words, Qi Zhou hesitated and said, "The eldest son is missing."

"Missing?"

Wei Chu lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with a hint of helplessness: "Then let the second young master Liu Yong take charge. I will be responsible for assisting him."
