Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 102 In addition to Zheng Bao

After Zheng Bao's army was defeated and retreated into Chaohu Lake, the strength of his troops had been greatly reduced. Although Jiangdong Liu Gan's reputation could not be said to be a powerful name in the world, in Yangzhou, which is one-third of an acre, almost everyone knew him. After the people around Chaohu knew that Zheng Bao was Liu Gan's deadly enemy, fewer and fewer people dared to serve Zheng Bao.

There is one exception.

This person is Liu Ye. Whether it was before the start of the war or after Zheng Bao's defeat, Liu Ye has been secretly communicating with Zheng Bao in letters, and has delivered several important military intelligence for Zheng Bao. Zheng Bao has always valued Liu Ye, but It was not because of Liu Ye's great talent, but mainly because Liu Ye was a child of a rich family in Yangzhou, or a Han clan. Zheng Bao wanted to achieve a career in Yangzhou, without the support of such a big family talent, it was obviously impossible.

Zheng Bao has been living in Chaohu for many years, while waiting for an opportunity in Yangzhou, while secretly planning to cross the south of the Yangtze River to seek Jiangbiao's strategic intention. Unfortunately, Yangzhou already has a Yuan Shu, and Jiangdong has another Liu Gan, because of the existence of these two people , Zheng Bao's power has been unable to grow.

Liu Ye is a breakthrough in Zheng Bao's heart. With Liu Ye's reputation and contacts in Yangzhou, if he uses it well, Yangzhou is the best springboard for Zheng Bao.

Zheng Bao never thought of challenging Yuan Shu, because Yuan Shu's fourth generation and third prince were too famous and powerful, but Liu Gan was different. Regardless of his foundation or military strength, Liu Gan was not enough to deter the counties of Yangzhou. Sun Ce died unexpectedly, how could it be Liu Gan's turn to rule the land of Jiangdong?
This mentality is like, I can do it if I do it.

In Zheng Bao's mind, Liu Gan was just lucky enough to dominate Jiangdong by taking advantage of the favorable location.

"Liu Wushuang, I will definitely take this Jiangdong from you!"

Zheng Bao drank a glass of wine fiercely, clenched his fists tightly, and looked like he was gnashing his teeth.

After Zheng Bao drank by himself for a long time, the drunkenness on his face gradually revealed. Zhang Duo and Xu Gan died in battle, so that Zheng Bao didn't even have a sincere person around him who drank and talked. This also made Zheng Bao hate Liu Gan. Another three points.

"Marshal, Liu Ye is here." A voice came from outside the door.

Zheng Bao's slightly squinted eyes suddenly widened, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He had been waiting for Liu Ye for half a month, and now he was finally here.

A moment later, Liu Ye, who was dressed as a scribe, was brought into the hall. Zheng Bao made a gesture, and the leader retreated knowingly.

"Zi Yang came here on snow today, but he has already made up his mind?" Zheng Bao said drunkenly.

"I thought about it a long time ago, but there was no chance at that time. Now that Liu Gan is not in Shucheng, this is the best time to break the Lujiang River." Liu Ye came to Zheng Bao's side with ease, and poured himself a glass liquor.

"Oh, there is such a thing, Liu Gan is not in Shucheng?" Zheng Bao was surprised, but the corners of his mouth could not hide his joy.

"Brother Zheng, you don't know. This Liu Gan recently got a new concubine surnamed Feng. This woman has a beautiful appearance. Liu Gan loves this woman very much. It can be said that he is inseparable every day. Then this matter spread to the public. According to the ears of Liu Ganzheng's wife, the Qiao family, that Qiao family has come from Jiangdong and will arrive in Lujiang in a few days, Liu Gan left Shucheng this time to meet this Qiao family." Liu Ye said eloquently.

"If that's the case, God is helping me. Once Liu Gan goes, I have Zi Yang as my internal support, and Shu Cheng can be defeated in a single battle!" Zheng Bao laughed loudly, throwing himself forward and backward with joy.

"Come on, I'll toast you. If this battle is successful, Zi Yang will be the first!" Zheng Bao raised his glass high and touched Liu Ye lightly.

"Brother Zheng, today I not only brought good news, but also a high-quality daughter red. Unfortunately, the brothers outside the door stopped me from bringing it in..." Liu Ye sighed slightly.

"Daughter red? This is good wine, which little bastard is so short-sighted, dare to withhold the wine brought to me!" Zheng Bao showed dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Wang!" Zheng Bao called out, and a person came in from outside the door.

"The subordinate is here." Xiao Wang clasped his fists respectfully.

"Look who confiscated the jar of wine today, bring me the wine, the person who confiscated the wine will be dragged down and beat with twenty military sticks, and they will not be allowed to use it again!" Zheng Bao ordered coldly.

"Understood." Xiao Wang took the order and left, and soon brought a pot of daughter red to the hall.

Zheng Bao casually opened the lid of Nurhong's wine, and the strong aroma of the wine wafted in the air. At this moment, there was a sound of wailing outside the door. It was no need to guess that it must be hitting the person who withheld the wine with the army stick.

"Brother Zheng, is the twenty army sticks a little too heavy?" Liu Ye said.

"If you dare to hold back the wine my brother brought, twenty army sticks are still light, don't mention these spoilers, come on, let's have a full drink." Zheng Bao poured Nurhong and downed it in one gulp.

"Brother Zheng is a good drinker, but younger brother is willing to bow down." Liu Ye complimented him while drinking with him.

Zheng Bao drank a glass, and Liu Ye poured a glass. Although Zheng Bao had a good capacity for alcohol, but because Liu Ye had already drank a lot of wine before coming, he became a little drunk without knowing it. Gradually, Zheng Bao sat The body in front of the table gradually became wobbly, unable to sit or stand steadily.

It wasn't until Zheng Bao drank another glass of wine that he finally passed out in a daze before the case.

"Brother Zheng?" Liu Ye stretched out his hand and shook Zheng Bao's body.

"Hmm..." Zheng Bao replied feebly, but still leaned over the table.

"En!" Zheng Bao suddenly snorted, and a bloody dagger appeared in Liu Ye's hand.

Zheng Bao covered the bloody hole in his chest, stared at the murderer with his eyes wide open, with a look of surprise on his face: "Why...why?"

Liu Ye tightly grasped the dagger, stabbed it down fiercely, and once again pierced a bloody hole in Zheng Bao's chest, and the blood immediately poured out like a spring.

Zheng Bao held Liu Ye's collar tightly, and asked with his last breath, "I...I treat you like a brother, why do you treat me like this?"

Liu Ye covered Zheng Bao's eyes with his hands, sighed lightly, and said nothing.

why?
There are so many reasons for such a thing as betrayal. It is nothing more than whether it is worth it or not. As for whether it is right or wrong, it doesn't matter at all.

In this world, children only distinguish between right and wrong, and adults only distinguish between pros and cons.

Liu Ye cut off Zheng Bao's head without saying a word, and threw the head out of the door. In front of Zheng Bao's subordinates, he threatened in a cold voice: "General Liu Wushuang has an order, and those who are willing to submit to the Jiangdong Army will not be blamed for their crimes. Those who are stubborn and try to resist will be guilty of the same crime as Bao!"

The competent Zhang Duo and Xu Gan under Zheng Bao's command are dead, and the rest of his subordinates either lack prestige or are not capable enough. When everyone saw Zheng Bao's death, and the murderer was the famous Liu Gan's subordinates, they were shocked and terrified. Many people fled in fright on the spot.

Liu Ye shouted loudly: "Where is General Pan?"

As soon as the words fell, more than ten people rushed into the small courtyard immediately, and the leader was Pan Zhang.

Liu Ye raised his arms and shouted: "Zheng Bao is dead, quickly follow me to the barracks, I'm [-]% sure to persuade them to surrender to our army!"
