Fan Ji was afraid that even his intestines would be regretted. If he had known this, why would he have been there?

When Xu Chen came to persuade the surrender, Fan Ji looked disdainful, thinking that Xu Chen was too backbone and only knew how to sell his owners for honor, so he didn't even think about the friendship between his fellow villagers and directly sent Xu Chen to the guillotine.

It was not until now that Fan Ji realized that life and death are big, and loss of integrity is small. Compared with Qingqing's life, everything is full of integrity, loyalty, and backbone, and it is not worth a penny.

When Xu Chen persuaded surrender, if Fan Ji was willing to agree, he could at least continue to stay in the position of Jiuzhen Prefect, just like Xu Chen, and continue to enjoy his glory power.

A person who knows the current affairs is a hero, but unfortunately Fan Ji couldn't see the current affairs clearly, which ruined Xu Chen's life and his own life. If he had not handed over Xu Chen and was executed at that time, then at least there was room for recovery now. Jiuzhen Prefect can't do it, but at least he could still save his life.

But it was because of this difference that Fan Ji was the one who fell to the ground and was taken out to behead him. Fan Ji was so regretful. If God could give him another chance, he would never make such a stupid mistake again.

Unfortunately, there is never a drug in this world who sells regrets, Fan Ji is destined to pay the price for his original decision.

"What? The whole army was wiped out?" Tao Jinlai was having a meal. When the news of Mashuihe's failure came, Tao Ji almost shocked his chin at a moment. His hand slipped, and silver chopsticks fell on several tables and smashed onto the plate, making a crisp sound.

The entire army was wiped out? Why is this happening?

This time, Tao Ji and Shi Ji discussed sending troops to rescue Jiuzhen County. Shi Ji led the army to the expedition, and Tao Ji was in charge of Jiaozhi. The division of labor between the two was very clear, one was the main attacker and the other was the main defense.

Although Tao Ji did not lead the army to fight, Tao Ji still had great confidence in this rescue operation. After all, they were able to draw 10,000 troops, which was already strong enough in terms of strength, and this was the largest number of troops that the Wu army could mobilize at present.

However, compared with the Wei army on the south road, the Wu army will not be at a big disadvantage this time.

Moreover, this time the expedition was led by Shi Ji himself. Compared with others, Tao Ji naturally prefers to believe in Shi Ji. Shi Ji has outstanding abilities and good leadership. Tao Ji is extremely relieved to lead the army by himself.

But unexpectedly, the bad news came so suddenly. Just one day after Shi Ji went to war, the news of his defeat in front reached Longbian: Shi Ji died in battle, Tao Kang and Chen Jin were captured, and 10,000 Wu troops were destroyed, and none of them escaped.

Tao Ji couldn't understand how this battle could be defeated so badly. Information showed that the Wei army landed from Rinan County only had one infantry battalion with 15,000 people. Shi Ji led 10,000 people plus more than 4,000 defenders in Jiuzhen County. The two sides were roughly equal in terms of total military strength, which means that the Wu army was not much less than the Wei army. Even if they could not win this battle, they would not be able to destroy the entire army?

But the news that came back from the front was correct. The Wu army was really destroyed. In the battle of Mashuihe, the Wu army was ambushed by the Wei army, and in the end no one could get out of the Wei army's encirclement.

As for the specific situation of the battle, the spies who conveyed the news were unable to come to the battlefield in person, so they could not find out the truth.

When Tao Ji heard this news, he was as stupid as a thunderbolt as if he was like a wooden chicken. Although his son Tao Kang was also unknown to his life and death, what made him even more heartbreaking was Shi Ji's death.

Shi Ji is the pillar of the current remnant Wu court. He shoulders the important task of restoring the Wu family with Tao Ji. Now that Shi Ji is dead, Tao Ji is left alone, and it is hard to support him!

What's more, the Wu army lost 10,000 troops, which made it even worse for the Wu army, which was already short of soldiers and generals. After the Battle of Mashuihe, Jiuzhen County naturally could not defend it, which was equivalent to the wide open door to Jiaozhi. From then on, the Wei army could fight from the south to Jiaozhi County. The last piece of territory of Wu was also in a state of danger.

Tao Ji's brothers and sisters were cold and all their thoughts were gone. Tao Ji was the king of Jiaozhou for a long time. His status has always been extremely solid and no one can shake it. However, as the Wei army invaded Jiaozhou, Tao Ji's status was getting worse and worse. He lost his city and land, and gradually lost most of Jiaozhou's territory. Now the only Jiaozhi County, the only place to settle down is about to fall. The era of Tao Ji will come to an end completely.

Now, besides the 15,000 troops of the Wu army, there are only five or six thousand troops left in the entire Jiaozhi defender. Such a small army is completely inconsistent with the Wei army that had just won the Mashuihe Victory. Seeing that Jiaozhi County is no longer in danger, the Wei army will come to fight at any time, Tao Ji is really helpless this time.

When there was an emergency military service in the past, Tao Ji still had room to discuss with Shi Ji, but now after Shi Ji was killed, Tao Ji was not even a person to discuss. He only felt that he was alone and really became a lonely man.

In a state of worries and anger, Tao Ji quickly fell ill. In fact, since the war in Jiaozhou started, Tao Ji has been overworked and exhausted. In addition, he has been wandering around for several times, making his elderly and aging body a little unbearable. For the past few months, Tao Ji has been busy with darkness, leaving his body and spirit in a high load state.

Now that the news of Mashuihe's disastrous defeat became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel. Tao Ji fell completely ill, had a high fever, was unconscious, was confused, and was speechless.

The people below were at a loss. The three young men of the Tao family, the eldest son Tao Huang and the second son Tao Jun, all resisted the Wei army on the front line of Jilong Mountain in the 100,000 mountains. However, the third son Tao Kang was missing in the Battle of Mashuihe, and his life and death were uncertain. Tao Ji fell ill, while the Tao family was no one, and the inside and outside were in chaos.

The several assistants under Tao Ji were helpless and had to discuss informing Tao Huang and Tao Jun on the front line of Jilong Mountain.

After Shi Ji's death and Tao Ji's illness, the entire Jiaozhi County was in chaos.

Although the nominal emperor Sun Feng is still there, this emperor is just a decoration, and no one takes him seriously. So when all the ministers have decided, who will preside over the overall situation in Jiaozhou? The two young men of Tao Ji have to be in charge of the matter. Apart from this, there may be no more suitable candidates.
