"General Long Qie! Since you can't fight off Zhu Yuanzhang, then you are trying to put the king in a desperate situation!" In order to force Long Qie, Yu Ji's tone became more and more aggressive.
Yu Ji's attitude towards Long Qie is very complicated. He admires this person, and apart from anything else, he remains absolutely loyal to Xiang Yu.
However, the rest is not entirely Long Qie's problem, the bigger problem still comes from Xiang Yu. Nepotism is something that every monarch cannot avoid to some extent, and everyone has selfish motives. However, some people will not let this kind of problem affect the overall situation, but now they are a little serious here!
Many people who are more talented than Long Qie are still being suppressed by Long Qie. This kind of thing is not a good thing after all!
"How dare this... general!" As proud as a dragon, Qie could only say with sincerity and fear at this time.
Why didn't he understand that if he continued to resist here, he would definitely die in the end? At this time, even if they do not retreat to preserve their strength, the families of the Xiang clan's generals, large and small, should be moved to a safe place first.
However, if he really left in despair, he was indeed unwilling to live up to Xiang Yu's expectations of him.
However, under Yu Ji's aggressiveness, Long Qie finally retreated.
"Alas!" Looking at the dim starry sky, Long Qie let out a helpless sigh.
In fact, even if they temporarily retreat to Jiaozhou to join Xiang Yu, what's the use! After a series of defeats, even Long Qie's pride was shattered.
In this world, apart from Li Xiang, Liu Che and Zhu Yuanzhang are the two most powerful princes in terms of comprehensive strength. Although the First Emperor also unified the entire Youzhou, his talented lineup, except for Li Xiang, was undoubtedly the best among the princes.
However, Youzhou naturally has its good sides, but Youzhou is also relatively barren, and its population is also a problem. In many aspects, it is far from comparable to Yangzhou or Yizhou. Therefore, Qin Zheng's overall strength is still far behind Liu Che and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Just from the troops that these princes can mobilize under their extreme conditions, we can already tell a lot about their strength!
The two princes ranked second and third in terms of comprehensive strength in the world join forces, let alone Xiang Yu, even Li Xiang must go all out to face it!
Long Qie left, and when only Yu Ji was left alone, she showed a sad face. She naturally knew that facing the two princes Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che at the same time, even if they could retreat to Xiang Yu now, they would probably be in trouble in the end. The comparison of strength between the two sides is now simply not on the same level.
The opponent's generals are not incompetent. It is too difficult to make a comeback against the odds. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
However, they still had no choice but to give up here temporarily and go to Jiaozhou to join Xiang Yu. When it comes to marching and fighting, these generals who Xiang Yu left behind are far from Zhu Yuanzhang's opponents, and the enemy's strength is several times that of mine. They really can't hold on much longer. If you don’t retreat now, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance in the future!
At this time, go to Jiaozhou to join Xiang Yu. Although this does not mean that they are safe, at least it can bring together the last remaining forces of a group.
Only when all the strength is gathered together and formed into a fist, can there be hope of breaking the situation. I can't let go of it here, and I can't let go of the territory there. I want to defend here, and I want to defend there. In the end, it is very likely that they will be divided and broken.
Moreover, if it really doesn't work, we can only choose the last retreat!
Yu Ji did as she said, and now Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were at least two or three groups of cities away from them. However, it seems that two or three cities still need to be conquered, but in fact it may not be so troublesome.
In a real battle, you don't necessarily have to completely conquer every enemy city by yourself. After all, once a certain force really shows that the building is about to collapse, there will be some grassroots who will take the initiative to open the city and accept surrender.
Even if you win a decisive victory, many enemy cities may change their royal flags and rush into your arms.
And Xiang Yu's current situation is like this. Faced with the persecution of two powerful forces like Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Che, those people below must have their hearts wandering. Who knows how many people will have other thoughts!
Therefore, although there are still two or three cities as obstacles, Yu Ji has no idea how long Zhu Yuanzhang can be stopped. If you have made up your mind to retreat temporarily, then naturally the sooner the better and the faster the better!
In order to seize the time, after asking for Long Qie's consent that night, the next morning, under the leadership of the Tenglong Legion and other elites of the Xiang clan, the light carriage Jian Cong headed towards Jiaozhou.
At this time, it was not for traveling, but for a strategic retreat, or even to escape for one's life, to put it bluntly. Of course, it was impossible to carry all the big and small bags on my shoulders. Each person can only bring some clothes and dry food at most, and if it goes too far, they can only bring a few soft goods, and they have already set off in a hurry.
Of course, there is no shortage of people in this world who cannot recognize the trends. For those who, even in the process of escaping, still have to take all their bags with them, hindering their journey, Yu Ji will not have anything to do with them. He was so polite that he picked a few people on the spot to scare the monkeys. Just let the soldiers drive them out of the team and let them fend for themselves.
Of course, you must be selective when choosing, and you will definitely not choose the family members of those important people. After all, it would be bad if it causes any adverse consequences. At this time, the Xiang family can no longer bear any unnecessary storms!
However, Yu Ji and her group had just left, but among several houses in the city, white doves flew into the sky, flying towards unknown distances.
Flying pigeons to send messages is probably the most common way for spies from various families to send messages. Usually during wartime, once discovered, archers will kill them immediately. However, there are a lot of flying pigeons, and it is difficult to shoot them all. After all, some fish will slip through the net.
And not long after that, a cavalry force of about 10,000 people galloped out of Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, and it turned out to be Zhu Yuanzhang's 3,000 battalion.
They bypassed the cities along the way, as if they didn't exist, without even looking at them, and concentrated on chasing in the direction of their target.
