Chapter 2268 moved the capital and fled
Compared with Shi Ji's ambition at the beginning, the Wu army's performance in yesterday's battle was a disaster, which undoubtedly completely hit Tao Ji's confidence in keeping with Panyu New City.
Today, the news that the Wei army attacked Gaoyaoxia completely became the last straw that overwhelmed Camel. Since Tao Ji proposed the plan to move the capital, it means that he had given up his plan to stick to it, and now he is only left to express his opinion.
For Shi Ji, this is indeed a slap in the face, but is face important compared to life and death?
Without the baptism of actual combat, Shi Ji did not know how effective the Jiaozhou army was. He had fought such a battle yesterday, which made him fully understand that ideals are one thing, and reality is another. With the strength of the Jiaozhou soldiers fighting against the five scumbags, it would be really difficult to defend this isolated island!
So after the war ended yesterday, Tao Ji proposed to change defenses, and Shi Ji agreed without thinking. Tao Kang's men were indeed difficult to take the big responsibility. If he was asked to continue to defend the main position in the north, the loss of the new city would probably not take a few days, so Shi Ji himself would bear this urgent, difficult and dangerous task.
But just one day after the days, such an accident happened again. The situation on the battlefield was unpredictable, which made Shi Ji lose his mind. If he wanted to protect his face and continue to hold on, he would probably not agree.
Although the two are on the same level as the official position, Shi Ji and Tao Ji, one is on the left and the other is on the right, and the two are cousins in their personal relationships, and are relatively close, if the two cannot reach an agreement on the issue of moving the capital, then everything is probably a misunderstanding, and there is even the possibility of breaking up.
Since Shi Ji arrived in Jiaozhou, Tao Ji has been quite humble and polite to him and respect him quite well. Tao Ji rarely objected to almost all the plans and suggestions proposed by Shi Ji.
Even if it was a top priority such as moving the capital, Tao Ji also insisted on moving the capital to Jiaozhi at first, but after Shi Ji's persuasion, he gave up this idea. It can be seen how Tao Ji obeyed Shi Ji's words.
However, respecting and accommodating Shi Ji does not mean that Tao Ji has no opinion. After yesterday's battle, Tao Ji also recognized the situation and questioned Shi Ji's plan. In addition, today the Wei army raided Gaoyaoxia, which made Tao Ji understand that if he believed Shi Ji, he would probably be taken into the ditch by him.
So this time Tao Ji directly said his suggestion in front of Sun Feng, which was equivalent to taking Shi Ji Yijun.
With Tao Ji's influence in Jiaozhou, his words can be said to be full of words. If Tao Ji really wanted to move the capital, no one could stop him.
If Shi Jizhen continues to hold on to his plan, then Tao Ji will probably part ways with him. If Tao Ji's troops are withdrawn, even if Shi Ji has the ability to dominate the sky, he will not be able to defend this isolated island.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Shi Ji naturally gave up his plan and agreed to Tao Ji's plan to move the capital, avoiding the division of the Wu Kingdom.
With the strength of the current small court of Wu, it cannot withstand any trouble. If Shi Ji and Tao Ji work together sincerely, there will be some chances, but if the two break up, it will definitely be over.
However, this time the capital is moved, we will not take so many ordinary people. It will be at least two or three thousand miles from Panyu to Jiaozhi. It will be a huge burden to take so many ordinary people for such a long journey. At that time, no one can escape.
So Tao Ji and Shi Ji discussed it and decided to give up the common people and only take the army away. These common people will let them fend for themselves.
Panyu New City is located on a sandbank. If you go west to Jiaozhi, you must first build several floating bridges. In order to ensure the connection with the counties in the west, Tao Jidao kept two floating bridges. If the Wei army attacked from this direction, the Wu army guarding the bridge could demolish it as soon as possible.
Now that the troops are withdrawing, these two floating bridges have helped the Wu army a lot.
In order to speed up the evacuation, Tao Ji asked someone to build two floating bridges with bamboo boards. The Wu army evacuated overnight, but the lights remained unsheathed.
Of course, it is not to move the capital to withdraw troops, but to claim to mobilize troops to guard Gaoyao Gorge. Under normal circumstances, such military dispatch will not arouse people's suspicion.
Shi Ji and Tao Ji were originally discussing an orderly retreat. The troops led by Tao Huang and Tao Jun, who were arranged first, set off first, and the place they rushed to was Gaoyao Gorge. They had to go to Gaoyao Gorge first to stop the Wei army from crossing the river. Once the Wei army crossed the Yushui River, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As for Tao Ji, Tao Kang and Shi Ji's army retreated one after another. Of course, the main purpose was to prevent the Wei army from crossing the river to pursue. At the same time, in order to cover up people, the people of Jiaozhou will not feel panic, which will cause trouble for the Wu army's evacuation.
Shi Ji took the initiative to drag behind and cut off the rear. The northern position he defended was also the main direction of the Wei army's attack. Once the Wei army discovered the Wu army's evacuation, they would definitely cross the river to pursue. At this time, Shi Ji needed to stick to his position to stop the Wei army's attack.
But there is no airtight wall in the world. If it were just two men of Tao Huang and Tao Jun to Gaoyao Gorge, it would not arouse the suspicion of the people of Jiaozhou. But the Wu army evacuated on a larger scale next time, and these ordinary people were not blind, so how could they not see it?
So these ordinary people quit. When they moved out of Panyu City, many of them were actually reluctant to leave, but were coerced by the Wu army and had to abandon their families and cross the river to the so-called Panyu New City.
Originally, this place was just a deserted island, and except for some fishermen who would rest here, there was basically no one living there. More than 100,000 people poured in, making it immediately crowded.
The normal operation of a city requires some accumulation, especially maintaining the livelihood of more than 100,000 people. That is definitely not an easy task. At present, Panyu New City has no other economic resources, and can only rely on the government to distribute rations to make a living.
The common people also had nothing to do all day long, with no land to cultivate or shops to do, and the food rations distributed by the government were very limited, and they could only barely make a living.
What makes the people most worried is that such a day will end?
