Chapter 2080 secretly crossing Chencang
Shi Ji saw Sun Feng's confusion expression and smiled slightly, "From Changsha County to Jiaozhou, this road has existed since the Qin Dynasty. After five hundred years, it is still a major transportation route between Jingyue. We go from this road to Jiaozhou. Why can the Wei people not know that the Wei army only needs to chase along the road and will catch up sooner or later."
Sun Feng nodded, Shi Ji said it well, this road has existed since ancient times, and any map will be clearly marked, so even if the Wei army has never been to Jingzhou, he is very familiar with the retreat path of the Wu army.
This undoubtedly makes the Wu army's retreat extremely difficult, because the speed of the Wei army is far greater than that of the Wu army. Even if the Wu army is still hundreds of miles away when it sets off, the distance between the two armies will become smaller and smaller as time goes by, and it is only a matter of time for the Wei army to catch up.
If the Wu army retreated on this route, the Wu army could not escape at all, so when he heard the news that the Wei army was gradually approaching, Sun Feng couldn't help but become anxious because the supplies at the next stop of Wu army were stored in Guiyang, which was also handled by Sun Feng. This batch of supplies was the last batch of supplies that Wu army had obtained before entering the Nanling Mountains. If the Wu army detoured now, it would be almost impossible for the Wu army, who lacked supplies, lack of food and grass, to walk out of the winding mountains hundreds of miles.
However, seeing Shi Ji's expression was calm and gentle, with a relaxed look on his face, without any worries, he pointed ahead and said, "From Leiyang to the west, there is a secret path that can lead directly to Lingling. From Lingling to cross the mountains, you can reach Yulin County, Jiaozhou. This road is very hidden. As long as we turn west, it will be difficult for the Wei army to discover it. When they arrive at Guiyang and pounce on it, we will already fly away."
Sun Feng said in confusion: "Since the envoy has planned to take the Lingling road, why did he ask the officials to store a large amount of food, grass and supplies in Guiyang? This batch of food and grass is the only food we have to go south to Jiaozhou. The journey is long and there is no food and grass for success, how can we do it?"
Shi Ji smiled and said, "This is a suspicious plan for military personnel. We are transporting food and grass to Guiyang. How can the Wei spies not know? So I deliberately hoarded the food and grass supplies in Guiyang. The Wei people would definitely not doubt that there was it, and would do their best to chase Guiyang. As for the food and grass issues you are worried about, I had already ordered someone to secretly go to Lingling. In the name of Lingling Prefect, I stockpiled a lot of food and grass in the local area, which was enough to support us to arrive in Jiaozhou."
Sun Feng immediately turned his worries into joy. Shi Ji had already thought of a way out, which made him worry for nothing. However, Sun Feng also secretly felt a pity. After all, there were not a small number of food and grass sent to Guiyang by himself. This time, the Wu army turned west and had no way to Guiyang again. Wouldn't so much food and grass be used to be in vain to Wei army?
Sun Feng expressed his thoughts and Shi Ji said: "This is okay, the loss is inevitable. Even the entire Jingzhou cannot be saved. Do we still need to care about this little food and supplies? But don't worry, the Wei people can't imagine that someone from Guiyang has already ordered people from Guiyang. Once the Wei army approaches Guiyang, the first thing they need to do is to set fire to burn all the food and grass, and never leave a grain of rice to the Wei people!"
Shi Ji really felt sorry for these food and supplies. In order to lure the Wei army to Guiyang, it was worth paying this price. Just as Shi Ji said, the huge Jingzhou was lost, who would care about such a small loss!
The main goal of the Wu army now is to escape from the pursuit of the Wei army and arrive in Jiaozhou safely is the most important thing. As for other things, Shi Ji doesn't care.
But no matter how much they care, these food and grass materials cannot fall into the hands of the Wei army. After all, in order to confuse the Wei army, the Wu army hoarded the food and grass in Guiyang is not a small amount. If these food and grass were obtained by the Wei army, the Wei army would undoubtedly obtain a very important supply. Originally, they had already exhausted the food and grass and were exhausted. If they obtained such an important supply at this time, it was very likely that the Wei army would follow the Wu army into Jiaozhou all the way, which would make the Wu army fall into a passive state.
Therefore, these food and supplies can be destroyed without any pain, but they must not fall into the hands of the Wei army, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Shi Ji is also a mature and polite person with deep plans, otherwise he would not have been in the position of a rank of officials.
Moreover, Shi Ji also took great risks in his breakup with Lu Kang. After all, from Lu Kang's perspective, Shi Ji's actions were completely rebellious. Anyone would carefully consider the consequences before making such a decision.
Most people will back down when facing such a choice because they cannot afford the consequences.
But Shi Ji had achievements and responsibility. He believed that the survival of Wu might only depend on him. No matter how big the risks he took, he would still set foot on this path without hesitation.
Therefore, Shi Ji's escape south was not his whim, but the result of his careful consideration. In order to ensure that the plan can be implemented smoothly, Shi Ji has been thinking about it for several days and repeatedly deduced the possible situations to ensure his success rate of this trip.
Whether in dealing with the Lu Anti-Japanese War or the Wei army, Shi Ji was fully prepared, especially on the route of fleeing to Jiaozhou in the south, Shi Ji repeatedly considered and considered all the unfavorable factors.
Shi Ji knew very well that the marching speed of the Wu army was far inferior to that of the Wei army. In this chasing battle of speed, the Wu army must be at a disadvantage, so this road is completely unworkable. If you want to get rid of the Wei army's pursuit and do not use some tricks or means, that would never work.
So Shi Ji repeatedly and carefully planned to create this plan to build a plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang. Shi Ji hid almost all the people in General Shi Ji hid it. Even Sun Feng, whom he trusted the most, did not tell him. He just sent his confidant to Lingling and secretly ordered Lingling prefect Ruan Du to secretly raise food and supplies and prepare for retreating to Jiaozhou.
On Changsha, Shi Ji still ordered Sun Feng to continue to transport food, grass and supplies to Guiyang, and prepare for the pre-stop, and completely act like withdrawing troops from Guiyang to Jiaozhou.
It has to be said that Shi Ji's move has indeed confused many people. Many people believe in this withdrawal route and believe that Guiyang is the only channel for the Wu army to retreat south.
