Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 435
Just before Huang Zhong discovered the truth, Wang Zheng in the rear had just received the news that the forward was attacked by the enemy.

Almost immediately, Wang Zheng also realized that if Sun Cejun really set up an ambush in advance, then there is only one possibility, that is, the enemy's traitor is lurking in their fleet!
But this is almost impossible!

Huang Zhong didn't know, but Wang Zheng knew very well that when he sent troops to Yangzhou this time, some recruits and even generals who had not entered the system were basically assigned to Wu Sheng's road, which had a larger number of people. Precisely because of the waterway, Wang Zheng did not dare to be careless. Not only are the soldiers all from the heavenly army, especially the middle-level generals who are qualified to participate in military discussions, almost all of them have been locked by the system for loyalty, and there should be no betrayal of themselves possible.

wrong
In fact, there is one person who has not entered the system yet!

That is Chen Jiao!
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's eyes instantly became gloomy, because it happened to be this person who proposed to send some troops to support Linhu.

After being suspicious, Wang Zheng's first thought was not to find any evidence, but to ask himself, did Chen Jiao have a reason to betray him?
There is.

First of all, unlike Zhang Rao, the leader of the rebel army who also defected halfway, Chen Jiao surrendered to the king in Linzi, more because of the situation.

At that time, Wang Zheng merged with Xu He and became the largest force around Linzi, and had already controlled the outer city of Linzi. At that time, Chen Jiao, Huo Kai and other six groups of people suffered heavy losses due to the previous attack!

Under such circumstances, Chen Jiao and the others could see the situation clearly. If they did not choose to surrender, the next step might be Wang Zheng himself. It was Wang Zheng who kindly let them go, but he would never let them enter Linzi, so when the winter is approaching, if Chen Jiao, Huo Kai and others leave Linzi, where can they go with their hands?

Or to put it another way, how many of these people's subordinates are willing to continue to follow Chen Jiao and others under such circumstances?

So from the very beginning, even if there was no system, Wang Zheng could not have any trust in Chen Jiao, because he believed that Chen Jiao would never have the so-called loyalty to his family in his heart!

So, did the resentment, dissatisfaction, and cracks created by the gap in those days expand, shrink gradually, or disappear completely?
Wang Zheng suddenly remembered the yellow scarf leaders represented by Ye Shi that he had seen in Yangzhou that day.
And how much they poured out in the hall that day.
"In the past, I also heard that Yuan Shu treated our righteous men very well, so I voted for him. When I first joined the army, there were six thousand men under him who were capable of fighting. The general knows how many are left?"

"There are only less than two thousand!"

"Every time there is a war, either I am the vanguard, or after the attack is over, there will be losses every time. In the end, this summer, there are only a few people left."

Does Chen Jiao have such thoughts in his heart now?

In the silence where a needle could be heard, Wang Zheng's expression became more and more gloomy.

He asked himself that he had never intentionally exhausted Chen Jiao's direct lineage, but his subordinates were just bandits, with mediocre combat power and no military discipline to speak of, and the Heavenly Army had faced many powerful enemies in the past year when they entered Xuzhou. Even if Lien Chan is victorious, the weaker the trilogy tends to suffer the most damage, unknowingly, Chen Jiao's trilogy seems to be running out, right?
There are still jobs!

"What kind of bullshit general, even his captain, I'm afraid he has more people in charge than me!"

At the very least, Yuan Shu gave those Yellow Turban bandits some false titles, but speaking of it, Chen Jiao is still just a mere school lieutenant!Not only is it far inferior to Wu Sheng, Xu Fang and others, but even Yu Jin I Zang Ba, who also surrendered halfway, is quite inferior. Even Zhang Rao's former subordinate, Gu Jian, is almost equal to him now, right?

free from poverty
Thinking in another way, if Wang Zheng is Chen Jiao, is he grateful to him, the Heavenly General, or is he full of resentment?
The more he thought about it, Wang Zheng became more and more suspicious of Chen Jiao, and the anger in his heart became more and more uncontrollable, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He heard a "snap", and he punched Chen Jiao hard. After falling, he actually smashed a good case in front of him to pieces!
Whoa, you bitch!

He actually wanted to murder Lao Tzu!

The instinctive thoughts were actually a true reflection of Wang Zheng's heart. In fact, he had never treated Chen Jiao as a courtier, let alone had any trust in him!

Otherwise, the raging flames should have come from betrayal rather than murder.
At this time, there was only a rush of footsteps coming from outside the cabin, but it was because a group of personal guards were eager to protect the lord when they heard the loud noise in the hall. It exudes a suffocating and terrifying aura, making this warm and smoky summer afternoon, the room is as cold and lonely as winter, and everyone is terrified, and they stop at the cabin door one after another, looking at each other for a while, but no one One dared to speak out.

After a while, Wang Zheng raised his head and looked at his subordinates standing opposite him, his slightly squinted eyes shone with a cold light, but the light only flashed, and then he changed into his usual calm expression, and then he chuckled lightly, faintly Authentic: "And clean up these broken pieces."

"Also, order Chen Jiao to come see me immediately."

"Here!"

Suddenly hearing Wang Zheng's recruitment, Chen Jiao thought it was some important military matter, so he didn't dare to neglect, hurriedly rushed from another building boat to Wang Zheng's ship "Mie Wu", and trotted all the way to the cabin. When he entered the door, he was about to salute first, but he shivered inexplicably. Under the shock of his mind, he was only halfway through a simple gesture of bowing, and his arms would stop in mid-air.

Wang Zheng, who had a panoramic view of this scene, became more and more angry.

At this moment, he completely forgot the power of his own high charm at close range, especially when the two of them are face to face and alone, the effect will be more obvious. On the contrary, he feels more and more that Chen Jiao must have a ghost in his heart, a guilty conscience, and just now. Shy, at a loss.

"At the end of the day, I will pay my respects to Zhou Mu!"

Under Wang Zheng's calm eyes, Chen Jiao felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, but Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out at all. In the same place, he closed his breath and concentrated, not daring to breathe out.

"Excuse me." Wang Zheng said indifferently, "Do you know why I called you here?"

"I don't know about the end general." Chen Jiao carefully organized the wording: "But no matter what happens, as long as the state pastor gives an order, the end general will definitely go through fire and water, and go all out!"

"Heh, go through fire and water." Wang Zheng smiled mockingly on his face, as if thinking of something, and said after a while: "Today, Huang Zhong from the Qianfeng Battalion sent a message. The western river, which is less than a hundred miles away from Chengde, encountered an ambush by Sun Ce's army."

"What?" Chen Jiao raised his head in astonishment when he heard the words: "General Huang's headquarters encountered an ambush by Sun Ce's army, state herdsman, how is the battle going? How big is our army's loss?"

The acting is pretty good.

With a prejudice in his heart, Wang Zheng felt that Chen Jiao's words and deeds were unspeakably suspicious, so he just sneered and said: "Thanks to Huang Zhong's cautious situation, he was alert before entering the enemy's ambush circle, and this battle is victory." gone."

"That's good."

Chen Jiao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words. One must know that in water battles at this time, the size of the boats has a great influence on the victory or defeat. Although the boat carried by Huang Zhong's 3000 men and horses has a decent load, it is essentially a small and medium-sized boat. When encountering a medium or large building ship, whether it is a long-distance battle or a side-on-board battle, it is due to an absolute disadvantage. The key is that it is his suggestion to suggest that the vanguard take a boat. Well, then Chen Jiao is also responsible.

At this time, Chen Jiao also realized something was wrong, and immediately asked in confusion: "Zhou Mu, why did Sun Ce's army set up an ambush in advance? Doesn't this mean that they not only knew the news that our army entered Yangzhou, but also knew that we were on the way?" After dividing up the troops, you even know which section of the river General Huang's headquarters will pass through?"

"That's right." Wang Zheng nodded, and looked at Chen Jiao with a half-smile: "This general is also very puzzled by this point. Huang Zhong has only set off for two days. How did the enemy manage to grasp the timing and situation in such a short period of time?" So accurate?"

"There is only one possibility!" Chen Jiao blurted out: "There is an enemy's insider tip-off in our fleet."

Before he could finish speaking, facing Wang Zheng's sharp gaze, Chen Jiao's whole body trembled instantly, his hands and feet were cold, and he stammered, "Zhou Mu, this... the last general"

Chen Jiao understands!
I totally get it!
Zhou Mu is suspicious of him!
"You're right. This general also thinks that there is an enemy's internal intelligence in our fleet."

While repeating Chen Jiao's words, Wang Zheng stood up and slowly walked over, standing in front of Chen Jiao, condescending, looking at the former leader of the rebel army, now the captain of Xuzhou, with a threatening expression. Visible to the naked eye, it lost its color bit by bit, and finally turned completely pale.

He reprimanded every word: "Then who is this person?"

There were not only questioning, but also an extremely fierce killing intent coming from between the gaps between the teeth. Not only was Chen Jiao's dead soul in shock, he immediately fell to his knees with a plop, and even the sword case beside him made a buzzing sound, but it was Sheng Wanli's Fu Shenjian has a spirit, sensing the master's mind, it actually sings without wind!
"Zhou Mu sees clearly, the last general is definitely not a traitor!"

"The final general is wronged!"

"The last general is loyal to Zhou Mu, the sun and the moon are bright, and the world can learn from it!"

Wang Zheng turned a deaf ear to Chen Jiao's repeated begging for mercy, but turned his head to look at the sword case, thinking in his heart, even you think he is a traitor?

Immediately, the murderous intention became more and more determined, and the power of thought came into being. He turned his right palm into a fist, looked at the head lying on the ground under him, his eyes flickered sharply, and with his current strength of 49 points, it was already impossible to kill someone. With the help of a weapon, one punch and one kick can kill a person alive.

Just as he was about to make a move, Chen Jiao's words at this moment finally moved him.

"Since joining the Heavenly Army, the last general has seen the God of State Shepherd defeating the enemy every day, and is invincible. He has long believed that the state shepherd is the one whose destiny belongs to him. The last general never dares to betray him. "

Dare not
Yes, he dare not!

This sentence is true!

Wang Zheng didn't believe a word of what Chen Jiao said before that he was loyal to him, that the world can learn from it, and so on. If you are so loyal, why didn't the system pop up an application for joining the team?

It's all bullshit!

But Chen Jiao said he didn't dare, but Wang Zheng believed it, and he came to his senses immediately.

Although Chen Jiao is the only mid-level officer in the current fleet who has not entered the system, he is indeed the most worthy and the only object of suspicion
But at the same time, Wang Zheng also knew very well that Chen Jiao was regarded as a smart person. A smart person had a lot of thoughts and worries, especially when it came to important matters that touched his own safety, he would be more concerned about gains and losses, hesitate to make decisions, and dare not take risks easily!
If Chen Jiao leaked the news, let Sun Cejun know the situation of his own division of troops and Huang Zhong's marching route, so what if the ambush is successful, can it guarantee complete annihilation, and can it guarantee that no one soldier of the Celestial Army will be let go?

Besides, Huang Zhong's troops were completely wiped out. The next target of Sun Ce's army is naturally their troops. Once they fight, Wang Zheng will definitely think of internal traitors. Can Chen Jiao be sure that he will not be advanced by Wang Zheng? Did you notice?
Ten thousand steps back, even if Wang Zheng does not doubt him, it is not so easy to escape on different lands on this river. When the two armies are fighting, the flames of war are raging, and the sword has no eyes. Chen Jiao can make sure that he will be safe and escape?

Wang Zheng believed that Chen Jiao might be dissatisfied with his family, or he might have murderous intentions, but he would never take his own life in order to take the head of Wang Zheng.

The gap between them did not reach this point!He, Chen Jiao, absolutely does not have this bloodiness!
Similarly, Sun Ce absolutely cannot afford such a purchase price!
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng put down his raised right fist, stared at Chen Jiao for a moment, saw that the other party was already sweating, and suddenly smiled lightly: "That's right, I will believe you!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jiao suddenly felt the invisible pressure above his head disappear, he let out a long breath, but he still didn't dare to raise his head, and said respectfully: "Zhou Muming sees thousands of miles, Zhou Muming sees thousands of miles! "

Wang Zheng didn't speak any more, and seemed to be lost in deep thought.

In the small cabin, apart from some slight rattling sounds, it seemed that Wang Zheng was pacing back and forth, there was no other sound, and Chen Jiao, who was still bowing his head on the ground, could not see anything at all. , just continued to wait anxiously and anxiously for Wang Zheng's decision.

After a while, Wang Zheng's gentle voice finally sounded in the cabin again:
"This matter is too urgent. It is really wrong to doubt you without any evidence."

"But Chen Jiao, do you blame the general for being too arbitrary?"

How dare I!

Until this moment, Chen Jiao's heart that had been hanging in mid-air finally let go, and the joy of the rest of his life welled up in his heart, but he didn't have time to appreciate it, so he raised his head immediately, his face was full of incomparable respect and love. Loyalty: "state"

When a word popped out of his mouth just now, a dazzling blue light suddenly appeared, passing through his throat extremely quickly!
why?
Chen Jiao covered the blood hole in his throat, but he couldn't cover a large amount of black and red blood clots overflowing. While humming "ho ho", he stared at Wang Zheng opposite with his wide eyes. Apart from being unwilling to die like his own way, he also had Extremely puzzled.

As consciousness gradually dissipated, before Chen Jiao completely collapsed, he finally heard a sigh-like reply.

"It's fine if you're down-to-earth, but it's a pity here and now."

"Just "dare not" is no longer enough to reassure me!"
