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

"You boarded my boat, do you want to go down too?"

Cao Mao chuckled lightly.

"If you refuse to let me go, I will find a chance to leave by myself."

Sun Shangxiang snorted softly, her pretty face full of stubbornness.

Cao Mao stared at her for a while, then sighed softly,

"In that case, I'll let you go later. But..."

"But what?"

"However, in a short time, I will personally lead the iron cavalry to conquer Jiangdong, and then we will see where you can hide."

Sun Shangxiang curled her red lips and said coldly,

"I'm waiting for that day."

……

Under Cao Mao's order, the fleet stopped at a suitable riverside.

Sun Shangxiang took a deep look at Cao Mao with her beautiful eyes, then turned and left resolutely.

Cao Mao stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, watching her go away.

"Hey, my lord, why are you willing to leave Miss Zoom?"

Gan Ning said with some doubts.

Cao Mao smiled lightly.

But he didn't explain too much.

After all, Sun Shangxiang is different from Mi Luyun and other women.

She is arrogant, daring to love and hate.

He even threatened Sun Quan with his life in order to help himself.

If he blindly keeps her by his side, I'm afraid it will backfire.

Instead of this, it is better to let her go back to Jiangdong temporarily.

"Why don't you worry about not having a wife? My lord, you don't have to worry. Anyway, there are two other beauties on board."

Gan Ning laughed.

"Okay, just say a few words."

Cao Mao scowled softly with a straight face,

"Now is not the time to joke, we haven't left Jiangdong's sphere of influence yet."

Gan Ning and Zhao Yun's heart shuddered, they nodded and accepted the order.

As before, Cao Mao and his party changed into ordinary clothes, and the ships were disguised as merchant ships.

After putting down Sun Shangxiang, the fleet didn't stay any longer and went upstream rapidly all the way.

Soon came to Ruxukou.

On the edge of Hefei City, there is a large lake, which is Chaohu Lake.

Downstream from Chaohu Lake, you can pass through the waterway, enter the Yangtze River, and attack Jianye City, the Jiangdong government.

Ruxukou is stuck on the waterway connecting Chaohu Lake to the Yangtze River. Because of this, its geographical location is extremely important.

In order to prevent the imperial army from attacking, after moving the government office to Jianye, Sun Quan sent people to reinforce Ruxukou, built a checkpoint here, and sent an army to guard it.

Ships traveling from south to north must be inspected by the Jiangdong army if they want to pass through Ruxukou.

When the fleet arrived at Ruxukou, many ships had already accumulated in front of them.

Cao Mao raised his head and squinted to look into the distance.

On the Ruxu Mountain on the left side of the waterway, Sun Quan sent people to build a city and set up a pass here, and built the West Pass on Qibao Mountain on the right.

The two passes confront each other, and there are stone beams in the middle, which are cut to pass through the water, which is the dangerous pass.

A heavy gate above the waterway was hoisted high by ropes.

In the event of any emergency, as long as the defenders on the stone beam cut the rope, the gate will fall heavily, completely blocking the waterway.

At this moment, the ships traveling between the north and the south are divided into two channels on the left and right, and are being inspected by the defenders on both sides of the strait one after another.

"My lord, as long as we pass through the Ruxukou, we will be safe."

Zhao Yun said in a low voice.

Cao Mao nodded slightly.

As time passed, all the ships in front passed the gate smoothly, and soon it was Cao Mao's turn.

Gan Ning took a deep breath and subconsciously touched his waist.

Cao Mao glared at him,
"Don't be nervous, relax!"

Gan Ning laughed and rubbed his hands.

The merchant ship moved forward slowly, and as soon as it stopped on the pier, several Jiangdong sergeants jumped onto the bow.

"Routine inspection!"

The leading general yelled loudly, directed his subordinates, and ran towards the cabin.

"Several military masters, you have worked hard."

A factory guard spy disguised as the leader of the caravan ran forward with a smile,

"Our fleet just passed through the pass a few days ago, military lord, have you forgotten?"

As he spoke, he handed the customs clearance documents to the general, and secretly stuffed a cloth bag.

The general took the bag and weighed it in his hand, with a greedy smile on his face.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with your fleet, let it go!"

He nodded and waved his hand.

Hearing this, the soldiers stopped rushing into the cabin and greeted each other to get off the ship.

Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this is a mess.

Just as this small group of Jiangdong sergeants were about to disembark and let Cao Mao and others pass through, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes coming from the shore!

This moment attracted everyone's attention.

They raised their heads and saw a war horse galloping from a distance.

Before approaching, the cavalry on horseback raised the edict in their hands and shouted loudly,
"The Marquis of Wu has an order to seal off the Ruxukou Waterway immediately. Without the Marquis Wu's order, no ships will be allowed in or out!"

The military general who accepted the bribe was stunned, and quickly walked towards the messenger, took the edict and read it carefully.

When he raised his head, his expression became serious.

"Quickly lower the gate, no ships are allowed to enter or leave!"

The general shouted loudly at the soldiers on the stone beam.

This statement came out.

Those merchants who were still queuing up and waiting to pass through the checkpoint suddenly burst into commotion.

"General, you can't get stuck with us!"

"Yeah, we are in a hurry to do business, if we don't get there in time, we will miss the deadline!"

But the general waved his hand and said with a sneer,
"This is the order of Marquis Wu, no wonder I!"

"From now on, shut up and wait here obediently."

"If not, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the soldiers on both sides of the strait had already raised their bows.

The businessmen immediately shut their mouths, not daring to complain anymore.

"My lord, what should I do?"

Zhao Yun's complexion changed, and he asked in a low voice.

A cold light flashed in Cao Mao's eyes, and he said coldly,
"Breakthrough!"

Gan Ning and Zhao Yun were startled, then said in a deep voice,
"Here!"

With Cao Mao's order, Gan Ning did not hesitate, drew out the weapon hidden in his waist, and slashed at a rope on the bow of the boat.

The other end of the rope is bound to the anchor that fixes the hull.

As the anchor was cut off, the sail was raised again, and the soldiers of Cao Jun on the ship also went into battle in person, paddling quickly.

The movement here naturally attracted the attention of the Jiangdong army on the shore.

The general's complexion changed, and he shouted sharply,

"Don't let them pass, shoot the arrows!"

Following his order, arrows were fired from both sides of the strait.

Fortunately, the ship that Cao Mao was on had been specially reinforced inside, which could withstand the rain of arrows like locusts.

Just as they successfully passed the Ruxukou Pass, the gate on the stone beam slammed down, splashing countless water.

Just as Cao Mao and the others breathed a sigh of relief and were about to move on, they heard the "squeak" sound of the winch turning on the stone beam.

The gate that just dropped was slowly lifted up again!
