Under the joint pressure of several princes, Yuan Shu could only be trapped in the isolated city. He could live for one more day, 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 has no way to retreat, Xiang Yu's situation here may be better. He is not at all unable to retreat! At least, Yu Ji left him the last escape route!
Several years ago, Yu Ji once thought about sending someone to open the sea route to Liaodong. However, due to the limited support he received, this plan did not succeed.
But 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 area was, but due to various considerations, she did not easily interfere with this area, but hid the news.
As a soul of later generations, Yu Ji certainly knew that Yizhou 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 too well. When Jingnan was still completely in Xiang Yu's hands, Xiang Yu was not even willing to expend more energy to develop Jiaozhou. After a late battle with Zhu Yuanzhang, Xiang Yu lost half of Jingzhou during the battle, and then he began to transfer some 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 naturally impossible to develop such a large area without a population. And where did the population come from? Naturally, they could only migrate from the interior of the Han Dynasty 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 Jinyiwei can't even detect such a big move, what qualifications do 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 compete with Zhu Yuanzhang for control of Yizhou, Xiang Yu really has no advantage in this regard.
First of all, Yizhou is still close to Yangzhou. Secondly, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, Xiang Yu does not attach much importance to naval power.
Therefore, in the end, under the influence of various reasons, Yizhou's problem was finally shelved, or it was hidden by Yu Ji, who regarded it as their last escape route.
But under the current situation, this retreat was finally proposed by Yu Ji. According to Yu Ji's idea, since it was no longer possible, it was better to give up here completely. Gu Jun broke out and used the ships she had prepared and hidden to temporarily retreat to Yizhou to wait for a comeback in the future.
Of course, the so-called comeback is just to comfort himself, or in other words, 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 want to make a comeback? Why do you still want to fight 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 affection for Xiang Yu is limited to begin with.
Nowadays, when the tree falls and the hozen disperses, it’s time for the gang to disperse! Therefore, Xiang Bo, who was 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 and open the city gates for them!
Moreover, there are really many people involved in this, such as 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 Chu Mu King Xiong Shangchen and Chu Mourning King Xiong Yi.
Uncle Xiang, no matter what, he is a person with a criminal record! King Xiong Shangchen of Chu Mu and King Xiong Yi of Chu Mourning, these two 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 be wary of them!
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 were finally exposed, Yu Ji would naturally not be merciful when it was 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 will not be loyal to Xiang Yu, they are also loyal people, and they are determined not to take the initiative to betray him!
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, this has made Xiang Yu, who has always been proud, become discouraged! The more proud a person is, the heavier the blow may be when he is hit!
It is precisely because of this that when Yu Ji proposed to break through and go to Yizhou, Xiang Yu for the first time did not express any objection, but wanted to consider it.
But, in the end, fate still plays tricks on people! The next day, when these simple 20 words reached Xiang Yu, they rekindled his ambition and made him wipe away all his previous thoughts about the retreat. !
