By the first day of the first month of May, the situation has gradually become clear, Cao Cao has completed the final strategic deployment, in Nanyang, Cao Cao appointed Cao Ren as the main general, Li Dian as the deputy general, commanding 100,000 elite soldiers to advance in the direction of Xiangyang, in Runan, Xiahou Yuan as the main general, Yu Ban as the deputy general, is also the commander of 100,000 soldiers and horses to the south, in Yanzhou, Xiahou Tang is the main general, Le Jin is the deputy general, the same is 100,000 troops in hand. Obviously, Cao Cao sent a three-way army, and at the same time will attack three places, each of which is equipped with 100,000 horses, and it is difficult to see where the main direction of Cao's attack will be.

Perhaps Cao Cao would attack three strategic locations at the same time? Liu Ze shook his head, this is obviously impossible, attacking three places at the same time, regardless of priority, it is definitely a taboo for soldiers, Cao Cao is now playing a trick, so that you can't see through where he will choose to attack, among these three places, there must be one of the main targets selected by Cao Cao, and the other two are used to contain him, but Cao Cao is very thief, until the war started, he did not expose his true intentions, there is only one purpose, that is, to make Liu Ze difficult to guard, all three are critical, They may all become Cao Cao's main targets, and the three places are thousands of miles apart, once Liu Ze makes a miscalculation, it will be difficult to adjust his troops.

Cao Cao appeared there, and that would be the focus of the attack, but Cao Cao had stayed in Qian County so far without the slightest movement, which made it difficult for Liu Ze to determine Cao Cao's true intentions.

The decisive battle is about to start, but Liu Ze still can't figure out Cao Cao's intentions, which makes him nervous, the process of history has come to this point, there is no experience for Liu Ze to learn from, even Jia Xu, who is not exhausted, is not sure where Cao Cao's offensive target is.

Liu Ze had no choice but to ask Jia Xu: "If you were Cao Cao, where would you choose to attack first?" ”

Jia Xu pondered for a long time, and said: "Xuzhou, Runan, and Xiangyang, all of them are called the key points, but if I am Cao Cao, I will definitely choose the easy first and then the difficult, the land of Huaibei and Runan, and Pingchuan, is the most conducive to the large-scale movement of the army, and Runan is close to Xudu, and geographically speaking, it is the most likely to threaten Xudu, so the target of the first attack is most likely to be Runan; The second is Xiangyang, Xiangyang is separated by Han water, which is the biggest obstacle for Cao Bing who is not accustomed to water warfare, but Xiangyang is the gateway to Jingbei, if you want to take Jingzhou, you must get Xiangyang, and the biggest advantage of attacking Runan for Cao Cao is that it can stabilize Xudu, but it can not really threaten the core of the lord, Cao Cao and the lord will fight a decisive battle, but it is very likely that the main battlefield will be selected in Xiangyang. As for Xuzhou, the minister thinks that it is the next choice, Xuzhou is the birthplace of the lord, deep-rooted, not to mention that now the main business direction of the lord has been transferred to Jingzhou, Xuzhou is also in a secondary position, Cao Cao will not be able to give up the lord and seek the second. Of course, this is just the minister's speculation, as for what Cao Cao thinks, the minister really doesn't know. ”

Jia Xu's idea coincides with Liu Ze, but is this really Cao Cao's idea, Liu Ze doesn't know, in any case, the war is like an arrow in the string, it has to be sent, Liu Ze has no other choice, Sun Quan in Jiangdong seems to have smelled something, maybe he has secretly joined forces with Cao Cao, according to reliable information, Sun Quan has gathered troops in Weixukou, preparing to launch a third attack on Hefei, Guangling and Chaisang, also found signs of Wu army mobilization, the troops on the southern front, has been rigidly contained, and can't move at all.

Liu Ze has encountered the biggest crisis since the rebirth of the Three Kingdoms, this crisis is even beyond his ability, where will he go?

"King Qijing, Zhuge has returned from Jiaozhou, and has now arrived at the south gate of Wuchang." (To be continued......)
