Chapter 562 Sixty Miles of Life and Death
...

Li You nodded thoughtfully, feeling much calmer.

"Then you can prepare in advance. It will take some time before you can intervene." Jia Xu said calmly.

Most of the things that need to be prepared in advance are not a problem, but when to start notifying you and completely changing the direction of public opinion to make it more beneficial to your side, people have to grasp the time.

"After a while?" Fazheng was a little confused. Since we have already obtained the information, why do we need extra time?
"Yuanzhi, although I don't know the source of your information, I still know one thing. The intelligence system I rely on has not yet sent me this information. In other words, this matter has not yet been widely reported. Tell me!" Jia Xu turned to look at Xu Shu and said calmly.

Although I was very curious about the source of Xu Shu's intelligence, I didn't ask. After all, intelligence can come from various sources. The more people know about some things, the less safe they are for others.

Fazheng nodded after hearing this and understood why he had to wait for a while.

If they knew about it when no one else knew about it, it meant that the calculation had something to do with them.

In this case, the earlier and faster the announcement is made, the more obvious the direction of public opinion will be, and the easier it will be to be beaten down. When the time comes, it will be troublesome to be dragged into the water.

"How many days will it be postponed?" Fazheng asked with some confusion.

The current battlefield is changing rapidly. No one knows that Cao Cao will spend a few days to deal with Cao Bao.

Once Cao Bao is dealt with, Cao Cao will either choose to continue attacking Tao Qian or come to attack them.

Now that the world's public opinion has not yet reversed, it would be very difficult for them to experience such a change.

The sooner they change the direction of public opinion, the more advantageous they will be. Although they cannot directly change the situation and direction of the war, in another area, the greater the benefits they will gain.

"At least the intelligence personnel must be able to know this information and collect this information." Jia Xu shook his head gently, indicating that he was waiting quietly.

A relatively complete intelligence system, as long as this information is collected, it means the beginning of everything.

Fazheng nodded, then turned to look to the south, and said calmly, "If the other side has been defending the city, will our army really attack by force?"

"Although Duyang City is not high, it has complete defensive equipment and a large number of soldiers defending the city. If we attack by force, the losses will be considerable. This kind of behavior is really undesirable." Xu Shu directly denied this point.

With their army configuration and numbers, if there is a chance, it would be better to engage in a field battle with Cao Cao rather than a more extreme siege battle.

If they engage in a field battle, they have a high probability of winning, and the uncertainty of a siege battle is too great.

After hearing this, Fazheng fell into thinking. Without engaging in siege warfare, he tried every means to conduct a field battle with Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao is not willing, how can he force Cao Cao to fight in the field?
"Xiaozhi, this is Xuzhou, not Yanzhou. It is the place of the Four Wars. It is not Cao Cao's base, and it has no popular support. It is impossible to stay here for a long time." Jia Xu looked at Fazheng thinking and thought for a while. Still gave tips.

After Fazheng heard this, he thought more and then nodded.

"Will it be withdrawn sooner or later?" Fazheng kept thinking about the content, and then said calmly, "Unless Cao Cao keeps Cao Ren in Xuzhou, otherwise, he will not be able to escape in this field battle, but where to fight and how Fighting is the most important thing, right?" Jia Xu nodded with satisfaction and asked with some curiosity, "Where does Xiaozhi think it is best and has the best chance?"

"The best place is naturally outside Duyang City. Cut off the city, fight steadily, and walk slowly." Fazheng looked at the markings on the map and said slowly, but then shook his head.

Whatever they can think of, the people under Cao Cao can also think of it.

Facing this kind of place, Cao Cao's men would avoid it no matter what. The distance to start a battle was too close, and the distance to leave was too far.

In this case, the fighting time can be extended long enough, the greater the probability that they will win, the greater the probability that Cao Cao will lose, and the lower the probability of retreating.

"After all, the time of retreat is decided by Cao Cao himself, so the best place is almost impossible. We can only find the most suitable place, which is the most suitable place for both parties." Fazheng looked at the table. On the map, just click on the circled area with your finger.

"Is the west of Duyang closer to Weishan Lake?" Jia Xu looked at the place marked by Fazheng and nodded.

Although Surabaya further south was safer for Cao Cao and more conducive to retreat, it was too far away and any accident might occur along the way.

Moreover, there are many cavalry on their side, so it is not difficult to catch up. It will also extend the duration of the war. For Cao Cao, the risk is naturally not small.

In this case, it is better to go directly to the west. As long as they are close to Weishan Lake, there is not much they can do against Cao Cao.

Even though the lake has frozen, the fragile ice cannot withstand the galloping cavalry, which is too restrictive for them.

For Cao Cao, there was naturally no scruples in this regard. Whether it was a ship prepared in advance or a road that was quite close, it was worth their gamble.

"Isn't it less than sixty miles?" Xu Shu looked at the gap between the two places and estimated the approximate attack distance.

"Yes, either we completely defeat Cao Cao at sixty miles, or directly defeat Cao Cao, otherwise we cannot continue to pursue him. Once we reach this kind of terrain, the restrictions on the cavalry are too great, and our army cannot use our own Attack the opponent's strengths by shortcomings." Fazheng nodded, once again confirming Xu Shu's statement.

Xu Shu looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

Sixty miles is very long, enough for a normal army to travel for a day, but sixty miles is also very short, and with the galloping cavalry, it will not even take an hour.

If we really start fighting, the risks involved can be imagined.

"Cao Cao still has two cavalry in his hands. If he only thinks about it, it will be difficult to stop him!" Xu Shu tried his best to analyze the possible battlefield results, and finally said with a frown.

"Cao Cao's soldiers are not pigs after all. With such a large number, it is still very difficult to kill Cao Cao, so our main policy is to weaken Cao Cao as much as possible." Jia Xu spoke directly and decided on the plan for this battle. Main tone.

Don't set the goal too high from the beginning, otherwise it will be easy to fail to achieve the goal and put yourself in it. It's good to work slowly and steadily.
