Chapter 2079 well prepared
As soon as Shi Ji got the news of the invasion of the Wei army, he immediately gathered his troops, together with the prefect of Changsha and his subordinates, and quickly left the city and fled south.
Since Shi Ji was extremely well prepared for retreat, even if the situation was chaotic, Shi Ji could escape from Linxiang City in time. Moreover, he did not need to prepare any food and supplies, and he could go on the road lightly without any burden.
After leaving Linxiang City, Shi Ji looked back and said to Sun Feng with a lustful look: "Chengzong, what do you think of someone's arrangement?"
Sun Feng sighed and said, "The envoy is really a clever plan, and he arranged everything in advance. Now he is on the road with light equipment, why not be afraid of the pursuers of the Wei army."
Sun Feng not only watched Shi Ji deploy everything, but he was also one of the participants on order. The Wu Jun collected grain and plundered supplies from door to door, which was handled by Sun Feng.
At this time, it is no big deal to offend the common people, but if they cannot collect materials and food, they will not be able to go to Jiaozhou.
Sun Feng is the prefect of Linhe. Linhe is a new county that has only been analyzed from Guiyang County in recent years. Linhe County is located in the southernmost part of Jingzhou and is connected with Jiaozhou. Starting from Linhe County, crossing the Nanling Mountains, you can enter Jiaozhou.
These hundreds of miles of mountains are basically deserted. After the Wu army arrived in Guiyang and Linhe, it became much more difficult to obtain supplies, and even could not get any supplies at all. If more than 10,000 people entered the wilderness without food, the consequences would probably be disastrous.
Therefore, Shi Ji decided to plunder the Changsha area. Sun Feng believed that this was the only way. Only when Changsha's relatively wealthy counties could they get enough food and supplies to support the Wu army to Jiaozhou.
As for the feelings of the common people, Shi Ji did not consider it, and of course Sun Feng didn't care. In their opinion, the civilians at the bottom were themselves grass and ants. Their existence was to serve the superiors. What was the point of collecting some of their food and grass? Even if they wanted their heads, it was reasonable.
If they accept it, then these people are obedient and good people. If they refuse to accept it and resist, then they are mobs and rebellious people. All mobs and rebellious people must be suppressed and executed. On this point, Shi Ji and Sun Feng are both ruthless.
Now they don’t care about the people’s wishes. Only by holding these life-saving food and grass in their hands can they have a chance to make a comeback.
As for the civilians who had the only remaining food in their homes, they were completely in tears. The fully armed Wu soldiers rushed into the homes of the people, and there were like tigers and wolves. How could the unarmed people resist?
A young man from the neighbor next door was angry and picked up a shoulder pole to resist, but was hacked to death by Wu Bing. What is the difference between these Wu Bing and robbers?
Shi Ji found enough food and supplies, but he did not store it all in Linxiang City. Instead, he transported the food and supplies to Xiangdong and Guiyang in advance, and sent special personnel to escort it. This ensured that the Wu army could easily obtain supplies along the way during the retreat of the south. Since there was no need to consider carrying food and supplies, when the Wu army evacuated from Linxiang City, it was both fast and rapid. In less than an hour, they all evacuated Changsha.
Shi Ji ordered the army to go twice the way and advance at full speed. After all, he understood the terribleness of the Wei cavalry, which was too fast, especially in the plains, where the advantages of the cavalry were fully utilized by them. If the Wu army wanted to escape, they had to compete with the Wei army first. Only by escaping into the mountains in the Nanling area could they be safe. Otherwise, once they were caught up by the Wei cavalry, they would not be able to escape.
Therefore, when preparing for escape, it is the most taboo to delay. In order to prepare for escape, Shi Ji also learned to land and fight, so that all soldiers would always keep dry food for ten days. These dry foods were not allowed to be eaten, and only Wu soldiers were always kept by their side.
Other items are also carried with you. Even if they are not during the day and receive urgent military information at night, the Wu army can complete the evacuation as soon as possible.
It was this kind of stance that prepared the Wu army very quickly with the order to evacuate Linxiang City. It was only a short time before it was prepared. This situation would be unimaginable if it was not prepared.
But for Shi Ji, the pressure is still quite great. After all, there is still a thousand miles to go from Changsha to Jiaozhou. More than 90% of the Wu army's troops are infantry. Even if they just go twice the way and run all the way, their speed cannot be compared with that of the Wei army.
The main problem is that Wu Jun cannot maintain a relatively high marching speed for a long time. After all, people are not machines, so it is no problem to run quickly for a short time. However, the worse the physical strength is, the slower the speed will naturally slow down. No one can always maintain a higher marching speed for a long time.
But the speed of the Wei cavalry did not slow down. This is the advantage that animal power is far superior to human power. In this long-distance pursuit, the Wei cavalry always had the advantage. They were constantly narrowing the distance with the Wu army and biting behind the Wu army.
When the Wu army arrived in Hengyang, news came from behind that the Wei army had arrived in Changsha. They were like frightened birds, and they did not dare to stay at all times. They could only continue on the journey through starry night.
However, news keeps coming, the Wei army's pursuers are getting closer and closer. According to the current itinerary, I'm afraid they will be caught by the Wei army's pursuers before they can arrive in Guiyang.
Sun Feng was a little panicked at this moment. It seemed that they had underestimated the speed of the Wei cavalry. Now the speed of the Wu army's escape was approaching the limit. Many soldiers were exhausted and obviously exhausted.
Such a long journey not only consumes the physical strength of the Wu Bing, but also their morale. Whenever news of the Wei army approaching, the Wu Bing's faces were ashamed. They knew that once the Wei army was caught up, it would be a dead end.
"Shi Jun, what should I do?" Sun Feng was also a little anxious.
However, Shi Ji was relatively calm at this time. The people he ordered took the map and pointed to the map and said, "Leiyang is not far ahead. As long as we arrive at Leiyang, everything will turn around."
Sun Feng couldn't help but be puzzled. Leiyang is just a small county bordering Guiyang County and Xiangdong County, and there is no danger to defend. Why is Shi Ji so confident?
