"One, two, one, two, one..." Early in the morning, neat screams broke the tranquility of Zhuo County. A team of about a thousand people was jogging around the walls of Zhuo County. This was the morning exercise time for the militia every day.

The people of Zhuo County have become accustomed to the existence of this militia. After more than ten days of contact, they found that this militia did not have those bad habits. Even when facing them, they would smile.

And if you encounter any problems, you will stop and help, which will soon bring the relationship between the military and civilians closer together. Some people even think that if this army is a county soldier, it would be great...

"Is this the county soldiers of Zhuo County?" A team came to the gate of Zhuo County from afar and saw the army in the morning exercise. The man led the team asked curiously.

"If you can train here, that shouldn't be?" the entourage next to him replied, "Why, little one go over and ask?"

"No need. Since they are training, don't disturb them." The man shook his head, "The county soldiers in Zhuo County are good. When you go back, you should report to the governor and reward them well. Let's go to the county government office!"

About two quarters of an hour, the group came to the county magistrate's office to explain their identity. The yamen runners dared not neglect and went in to report immediately.

"I don't know if the general is coming, I'm not here to welcome you!" About three minutes ago, the prefect hurried out with the county magistrate and the county magistrate.

"We did not inform us in advance, and the prefect does not need to do this." The visitor smiled and went forward to salute.

Both sides went in separately and sat in the living room. After a few polite words, the man stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the topic: "A few days ago, the imperial court issued an order to recruit soldiers from all prefectures and counties to resist the Yellow Turban thieves. The governor received the imperial edict and began to order us to issue recruitment in each county. At the same time, considering that Zhuo County is the only way for the Yellow Turban thieves to go north, not only should we recruit soldiers from Zhuo County, but also the new soldiers and horses under my command will be concentrated in Zhuo County to train and prepare for war!"

"Since it is the governor's intention, then I will naturally support it with all my strength!" The prefect nodded. In theory, the governor was only used to supervise the officials of the prefects of each county, and his status was even below the prefects, and at most he was at the same level.

However, in recent decades, the power of the governor has become increasingly greater, and the yamen has been expanded several times, and the deputy has become more and more. In terms of power, it has vaguely surpassed the prefect... In fact, it is the governor who has no military power.

Therefore, even if the prefect is unwilling to give up, he has to be very energetic about the governor's instructions.

"By the way, the soldiers of your county look pretty good..." The man remembered the army he had seen before.

"County soldiers?" The prefect was very surprised. Why did this general mention the county soldiers? Those guys had a small cattle every ten days and a big cattle every month. They were usually idle, and they had to do some private things for the county lieutenant when necessary. The combat effectiveness could only be considered average.

Then he thought of something and said a little embarrassedly: "What the general said, was it the one who ran outside the city wall early in the morning?"

"Is there anything wrong?" The man saw that the prefect looked a little strange, so he tried to ask.

"That's not the soldiers of this county..." The prefect knew that the man would have misunderstood, so he explained, "That was a militia group approved by this official. The imperial edict of Luoyang was naturally known. Considering that Zhuo County was the place where the Yellow Turban thieves must pass north, Liu Tao, a native Han clan of Zhuo County, as well as Zhang Fei, the largest wine and meat merchant in Zhuo County, and Lu Yan, the eldest son of the North Central Army General Lu Zhi, had the intention of serving the country with sincerity, so he approved them to form a militia group to resist the Yellow Turban thieves."

According to the imperial edict of Emperor Han, the local good families were allowed to form volunteer troops. The man also knew about this, so he was not too surprised when he heard this. He just didn't expect that such an army would be just a militia.

"Slowly, do you think the militia leader is a relative of the Han Dynasty?" The man suddenly realized the key to the matter.

"That's right, Liu Tao is a child of the Liu family in Zhuo County. The Liu family in Zhuo County is a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and his direct descendants are reported to Zongzheng's mansion and registered. Liu Tao is a veritable relative of the Han Dynasty." The prefect replied.

The man nodded. If it was an army established by the Han clan clan, then there was no big problem. Especially after knowing the other party's identity, the man still felt close. After all, the lord he was loyal to was also a Han clan clan clan clan. Even at this moment, he began to become a little curious about Liu Tao.

"Can..." the man thought for a while, "I would like to recommend this Liu Tao for me?"

"It is his honor for the general to see him. I will send someone to inform you immediately." The prefect smiled when he heard the words, but he knew very well that Liu Tao was about to start to develop.

On the other hand, Liu Tao had just brought his people back and was having breakfast. A yamen runner came to pass the message and said that the prefect had something to ask him. Zhang Fei gave him some money, and the latter whispered: There is Shangguan who wants to see Chief Liu!

But the yamen runners don’t know who Shangguan is. After all, he is not qualified to listen, but he guesses that he is a general.

"It's not that the superiors want to recruit our troops, right?" Liu Tao frowned immediately when he heard this. He just planned to go out and make some achievements, but he was recruited before he could send troops.

If you make a contribution at that time, the commander Shangguan will be rewarded and he will follow him and drink some soup. Even if the troops are afraid, they will mix sand all kinds of things and then transfer a civil service to themselves.

Just talking about Lu Bu, a super powerful general, had to be the chief clerk obediently. Of course, his situation was different. At that time, Ding Yuan was the governor of Bingzhou. It was hard to say whether the chief clerk was the chief clerk of the army or the chief clerk of the state. If he was the chief clerk of the army, Ding Yuan deserved to be killed. If he was the chief clerk of the state, he would probably have to cultivate Lu Bu. After all, Zhu Yan was elected as a filial and honest official, and he was the chief clerk of the county clerk.

If you don’t call for filial and honest people, your career will be destined to be limited. Ding Yuan intended to overestimate Lu Bu as the chief clerk, but Lu Bu didn’t know that this good intention was reversed. Ding Yuan’s death was a bit unfair...

But when I get to my own side... If I don't know that the man will be in chaos in the end, I'm afraid I'm willing to endure my resume. But since I know, I naturally have to save my strength earlier, otherwise I will miss many major events, which will be very passive.

He didn't want to go around, just like Liu Bei, to stay calm for most of his life. The most tragic thing about Liu Bei was that he was not prepared enough and was passive everywhere in the face of this chaotic world. Lu Bu, who was also not prepared enough, had no need to say what he ended up in.

"Brother?" Lu Yan looked at Liu Tao's face and said, "Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Nothing..." Liu Tao came to his senses, "I'm just worried that the other party will come forward to incorporate the elite troops when they see our troops. Even if they become the regular army of Youzhou, freedom will be gone. The key is that they will be the ones who will be made in the future."

"Brother, please don't accept it!" Lu Yan replied casually, "We acted under the order and did not violate us. Besides, it has not passed yet, who knows what the other party plans?"

"That's right, you can't be afraid before you meet!" Liu Tao nodded, "Yide, prepare a few bottles of wine and follow me."

"I'll go too?" Zhang Fei pointed at himself after hearing this.

"Secretly send two bottles to the prefect and talk about the tone. It is not convenient for me to do this. If the rest is necessary, I will send it to the general. After all, it is Shangguan, and it is also very important to establish a good relationship." Liu Tao replied.

"Okay, I'll go get the wine now!" Zhang Fei replied, and immediately walked towards the wine cellar.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Tao entered the government office and, under the leadership of the yamen runners, met the man in the living room.
