I am the son of Cao thief, start the awakening of the tyrant system

"Gongji, you...you must escort the young master...back safely..."

Ling Cao was as angry as a silk, his face was pale, and he ordered Ling Tong.

"Father, you... don't worry!"

Ling Tong fought back the tears in his eyes, and nodded in response.

Ling Cao reluctantly moved his head, looked at Sun Quan at the side, and said with difficulty,
"Young master, you are not... Cao Mao's opponent, go back quickly... You must tell the lord, let him... kill Cao Mao as soon as possible, so as to avoid future troubles..."

Before Sun Quan could speak, he tilted his head and died!

"Ah...Cao Mao, I'm going to kill you!"

Ling Tong suddenly stood up, and with his weapon in hand, he was going to fight Cao Mao for his life!
Zhou Tai on the side stood in front of him and said sharply,
"Did you forget your father's advice before he died? Escape from this place now is the right thing to do!"

Ling Tong gritted his teeth and glanced at Cao Mao's direction, and nodded heavily!
Originally surrounded by Cao Jun, the morale of Jiangdong soldiers was somewhat low.

Following Ling Cao's death, morale plummeted even more!

They barely maintained their formation, and only rushed out of the encirclement after dropping nearly a thousand corpses.

Then he continued to flee towards the south in a hurry.

Cao Mao was not in a hurry, and patiently commanded the army, followed closely behind like a gangrene, and launched an attack from time to time.

The 5000 men and horses in Jiangdong are like frightened birds, and there is no peace for a moment!
In the end they were stuck in a valley, unable to move!
And Cao Mao set up camp outside the valley, waiting for them to take the initiative to leave the valley.

……

Three days later.

in the valley.

Sun Quan reluctantly stood up and looked around. Jiangdong soldiers were lying on the ground in disorder.

The previous fiasco lost more than [-] people, but more importantly, in order to break through, they lost all their food, grass and luggage!

Although the soldiers also carried some food and grass, they couldn't last long at all.

After three days, there was not much food left.

The soldiers were all hungry and lying there weakly.

Seeing the situation around him, Sun Quan couldn't help but smile wryly.

As long as Cao Mao makes a charge, I'm afraid that his side will be taken by a nest, right?

Zhou Tai walked over frivolously, and said softly,
"My lord, our food... is only enough for today, we can't go on like this, we have to find a way."

Sun Quan sighed helplessly.

Among them, Ling Cao was the most cunning, but he was shot and killed.

Besides, even if Ling Cao didn't die, there was probably nothing he could do.

Seeing that Sun Quan was silent, Zhou Tai said in a muffled voice,

"For the current plan, we must either break out of the siege, or surrender to Cao Mao."

"Surrender to this mob? Impossible! I would rather die in battle!"

Ling Tong flatly shook his head and refused.

Sun Quan and Zhou Tai remained silent.

Speaking of selfishness, the two of them had no blood feud with Cao Mao, at most it was Sun Quan who was robbed of his wife.

But that's nothing compared to life.

It's just that they can only think about these words in their hearts, and they can't say them in front of Ling Cao.

"How about this, use up all the food, let's break through tonight."

Sun Quan made up his mind and ordered.

"Here!"

……

Let's talk about Cao Jun's camp outside the valley.

Cao Mao is discussing matters with his generals and advisers.

"According to calculations, Sun Quan and the others in the valley should be out of food."

Pang Tong said with a smile on his face.

"That's right. They broke through in a panic a few days ago. They lost all their food and grass. Even if they had what they had on them, they definitely wouldn't last long."

Xu Shu nodded in agreement.

"My lord is really good at calculating!"

Lu Bu sighed,
"If you can capture Sun Quan alive, you won't be afraid that Sun Ce will make a fuss!"

"My lord, I'm afraid Sun Quan and the others will either choose to break through again or surrender. My lord, let's be vigilant next time."

Zhao Yun suggested.

"That's right, pass the order down and strengthen your guard."

Cao Mao ordered.

However, at this moment, a messenger quickly walked into the account.

"My lord, the spies ahead have sent information that Jiangdong has sent [-] troops, less than [-] miles away from here!"

Everyone in the tent was shocked.

"[-] troops? Could it be that Sun Ce wants to start a war with us?"

Guan Yu's face was solemn and authentic.

"I don't think so."

Pang Tong sneered,
"I'm afraid that Sun Ce already knew that his brother was trapped, so he came here to rescue him."

"These people are just for deterrence, and he will send messengers to negotiate later!"

as predicted.

When the voice fell, another messenger stepped into the account.

"There is a person outside who claims to be Jiangdong's envoy, saying that he wants to meet the lord!"

"Let him in!"

After a while, a thin literati walked in slowly.

When Pang Tong and Xu Shu saw this person, they immediately showed astonishment,

"Zijing?"

That's right, the person who came was none other than the famous Lu Su, whose name is Zijing!
Lu Su was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Pang Tong and Xu Shu in Cao Mao's tent!
He once traveled to Jingzhou and had contacts with Sima Hui's students.

But this is not the time to reminisce.

He saluted Cao Mao,
"The Marquis of Wu is under Lu Su's tent to meet with the General of the Five Senses."

Cao Mao glanced at him lazily, and said lightly,

"Sun Bofu sent you here, what's your business?"

"Reporting to the General of the Five Senses, Marquis Wu knew that his younger brother Zhongmou had offended you, so he specially sent me here to express his apology."

Lu Su respectfully said.

Cao Mao tapped his fingers on the table, showing a sarcasm smile, and said sharply,

"[-] troops, what a majesty! Is this the attitude of Sun Bofu to apologize?!"

Lu Su's face remained unchanged, and he said softly,

"Now that the Jiangdong and Huainan regions have been initially settled, there are many bandits. Marquis Wu is just doing it for safety. Please forgive me."

"If the general of the five senses is not happy, Wu Hou can retreat the troops."

Cao Mao sized him up carefully, but smiled lightly,
"What a Lu Zijing, you are really eloquent! You don't need to back off, just tell me, how does Sun Bofu plan to apologize?"

"Marquis Wu said that as long as the man with five senses can spare Sun Quan, he is willing to offer [-] million yuan and take ten beauties from Jiangdong."

The women around Cao Mao are all beautiful and beautiful, ten Jiangdong beauties are nothing.

But the [-] million money made him a little moved.

In order to develop his own strength, Cao Mao spends money like water and urgently needs a lot of money.

Besides, he only has a few thousand troops right now, and it would be foolish to want to compete with Sun Ce, who has 5 troops.

The soldiers of Jiangdong are not those wastes of the Zhong Empire, and Sun Ce is not Yuan Shu.

Cao Mao rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then laughed,

"Alright, but I have another request. You tell Sun Bofu that he must swear that he will not fight against my Cao family in the future!"

Lu Su frowned slightly, and murmured,

"Isn't the general of the five senses worried that Marquis Wu will break his oath?"

"Those who break the oath shall die under the arrows."

Cao Mao showed an inscrutable smile.
