Under the joint pressure of several princes, Yuan Shu could only be trapped in the isolated city. He could live for one day longer, and he could survive for one day, but it would not be long before the end!
At the same time, Xiang Yu's fate was similar to that of Yuan Shu. They both ended up holding on to the isolated city.
Jiaozhou, Cangwu County, Guangxin.
Xiang Yu's last 30,000 troops were stationed here, but there were hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding the city from all sides!
However, compared to Yuan Shu who was unable to retreat, Xiang Yu's situation here may be better. He is not completely unable to retreat! At least, Yu Ji left him a last way out!
Several years ago, Yu Ji once thought of sending someone to open a sea route to Liaodong. However, due to the limited support he received, this plan did not succeed.
However, although the sea route to Liaodong was not opened, the existence of Yizhou was discovered halfway along the way.
Of course Yu Ji knew what this place was, but due to various considerations, she did not easily interfere with this place, but hid the news.
As a soul of later generations, Yu Ji certainly knew that Yizhou naturally had its value, but, unfortunately, Xiang Yu did not have the conditions to develop Yizhou now.
First of all, Yu Ji knew Xiang Yu's thoughts very well. When Jingnan was still completely in Xiang Yu's hands, Xiang Yu was not even willing to expend more effort to develop Jiaozhou. After a big battle with Zhu Yuanzhang late, after the battle,
, Xiang Yu lost half of Jingzhou, and then began to transfer part of his energy to Jiaozhou.
This is how Jiaozhou is treated, not to mention that the current Yizhou is probably just a barren land in Xiang Yu's eyes.
Secondly, it is impossible to develop such a large area without a population. And where does the population come from? Naturally, it can only migrate from the interior of Dahan to Yizhou.
But this kind of migration of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people is not a small move. It is impossible for Yu Ji to hope that this move can be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and ears. If the Jin Yiwei can't even detect such a big move
, what qualifications does it have to become the most powerful underground organization in the South?
And once Zhu Yuanzhang discovers their actions, if Zhu Yuanzhang also discovers the value of this land, he will start a fight with them. If he wants to fight Zhu Yuanzhang for control of Yizhou, Xiang Yu really has no advantage in this regard.
Firstly, Yizhou is still close to Yangzhou after all. Secondly, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, Xiang Yu really does not attach much importance to naval power.
Therefore, in the end, under the influence of various reasons, the issue of Yizhou was finally shelved, or in other words, it was hidden by Yu Ji, who regarded it as their last escape route.
Under the current situation, this escape route was finally proposed by Yu Ji. According to Yu Ji's idea, since it is no longer possible, it is better to abandon this place completely. Gu Jun breaks out and uses her long ago.
The ships that had been prepared and hidden temporarily retreated to Yizhou to wait until they could make a comeback in the future.
Of course, the so-called comeback is just to comfort yourself, or Yu Ji comforts Xiang Yu. After all, there are only a few people in Yizhou. Without a population, there are soldiers. Without soldiers, why do you make a comeback?
Still thinking about calling back!
In theory, of course, you can rely on population reproduction to grow and develop, but if the population base is seriously insufficient, how many years will it take for you to develop to a certain scale to support your comeback?
Even if that day comes, I don’t know how much grass has grown on Xiang Yu’s grave!
Having said that, Xiang Yu is really feeling frustrated now!
Since the war started, not only has the territory been lost, but a lot of generals have died, including the most important general to him, Long Qie.
Moreover, with the defeat already certain and people panicking, I don’t know how many people had other ideas in mind.
But what disappoints Xiang Yu the most is that even his own people are turning their backs on him.
Xiang Bo said that he was not willing to go to the dark side with Xiang Yu. What's more, his favor for Xiang Yu was already limited.
Now, when the tree falls and the hozen disperses, it’s time to disperse the gang! Therefore, Xiang Bo, who is actually from the Xiang clan, took the initiative to connect with several other people with ulterior motives, and intended to contact the princes outside the city to help everyone
The princes open the city gates!
Moreover, there are really many people involved in this, including Xiong Shangchen, Xiong Yi, Xiong Qi, Que Qi, Que Ji, Que Zhi, Luan Jie and others. The Que family and the Luan family are both aristocratic families in Jiaozhou. Such people
The most fundamental interests are basically above the family, and the choices made at this critical moment are basically for their family.
However, Yu Ji was already on guard against Xiang Bo, and she was even more guarded against King Xiong Shangchen of Chu Mu and King Xiong Yi of Chu Mou.
Xiang Bo, after all, is a man with a criminal record! King Xiong Shangchen of Chu Mu and King Xiong Yi of Chu Duo were both accomplished monarchs during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. If you know something about them, it is impossible not to treat them unfairly.
Get defensive!
With Yu Ji on guard, all the actions of these people were naturally unsuccessful in the end!
In fact, these people have completely fallen just one step away from their success. As these potential dangers in the power are finally exposed, Yu Ji will naturally not be merciful when it is time to take action.
!
Moreover, there are more than one such example, it's just that the people who launched the rebellion had the highest status and caused the greatest commotion!
Let alone these people, even people like Ji Bu and Zhong Limei no longer have any hope for Xiang Yu! However, although these two people are not loyal to Xiang Yu, they are also loyal people.
I am also determined not to take the initiative to betray you!
It is precisely because during this period of time there have been endless rebellions under his subordinates, and even his own people have betrayed him, which makes Xiang Yu, who has always been proud, become discouraged! The more proud a person is, when he is hit,
, the heavier the blow you may receive!
It is precisely because of this that when Yu Ji proposed to break out of the encirclement and go to Yizhou, Xiang Yu for the first time did not express any objection, but wanted to consider it.
However, after all, fate has its way with people! On the next day, when the simple 20 words were sent to Xiang Yu, they rekindled his ambition and made him change the previous article about it.
