The Zhuo County Yamen, the prefect and the county magistrate, as well as the county officials, county officials, Zou Jing and Liu Tao, were all sitting together at this moment.

Suddenly, I heard that tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves were heading north and might arrive in Zhuo County tomorrow. The prefect was shocked and the county magistrate also looked embarrassed. Just the county soldiers of Zhuo County were okay to fool people. If they really wanted to go to the battlefield, they would be to deliver vegetables to others.

"Ten thousand Yellow Turban Thiefs went north, take it seriously?" The county magistrate asked, after all, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Moreover, before the disaster came, people often would not face it head-on, but would subconsciously escape, even if they were deceiving themselves.

The other county officials and county officials were also looking at the detective cavalry at this moment. They were watched by so many people, especially officials. The detective cavalry was originally just a servant, so they were naturally a little nervous at this moment.

"Don't worry, whatever you see, you will say whatever you see..." Liu Tao patted his back.

"Here!" The detective was photographed in pain behind him, but he calmed down a lot, and told him what he saw and heard again, and at the same time, he guaranteed his life, which was absolutely true!

"Ten thousand... There were only one thousand county soldiers in the county, and the militia and newly recruited soldiers, which totaled only seven thousand..." The prefect was really not optimistic about this war. Seven thousand were tens of thousands, and thousands were still new soldiers. He knew better what the situation was in the county soldiers.

"The prefect doesn't need to worry..." Liu Tao stood up and said his theory.

"Indeed, the Yellow Turban thieves are all from common people and their combat power cannot be compared with regular troops." The county magistrate also realized this and was immediately excited. Although his soldiers were not trained enough, the combat power of a group of people was higher.

"At the same time, it has brought about a large number of people who have no combat experience, and it seems to be in a state of momentum. In fact, these people are unstable and will cause riots when they encounter a little setback. So what is really worth noting is the only elite Yellow Turban thieves who are no more than 3,000 at most!" Zou Jing nodded, "So I suggest going out of the city to fight!"

"Go out of the city to fight?" After hearing Zou Jing's words, the others jumped up. At this time, I was afraid that I could not defend the city, so I still went out of the city to fight?!

"Listen to me!" Zou Jing shouted immediately when he heard this, signaling everyone to be quiet. "If the thieves attack the city, they will inevitably be the first to attack the city with the people they are bound. At that time, tens of thousands of thieves will launch an attack, which is no different from the regular army's attack. We will fight very hard, and even Zhuo County may be lost because of this!"

After a pause, seeing everyone's expressions relieved a lot, he continued: "On the contrary, when going out to fight, you only need to defeat the opponent's three thousand elite soldiers and then disperse the opponent's new soldiers. Then the people who are bound to be unattended will naturally scatter. Our enemies are actually only these three thousand people, and the pressure is much reduced!"

"Don't say it so simply. How to rush through the camp of tens of thousands of people and attack their central army is the most difficult!" The prefect was not deceived, and the risk of head-on charge was still very high.

"But it is much simpler than defending the city. As long as those people who are being bullied know that we are not going to go to them, they will definitely not try their best to resist!" Zou Jing retorted.

This is the truth. It has been forced to attack the city. Considering that the defenders will not take the initiative to fight, there is a supervision team behind them. The people who are being bullied can only rush forward, hoping to capture the city as soon as possible so that they can survive.

But if they go out of the city to fight, then the people know that they are not coming to them, so they will naturally not fight desperately and may even take the initiative to move out of the way. Although they have to take some risks, the battle itself is not sure.

"My army charges in person!" Zou Jing knew that these guys were unreliable, so he could only rely on himself. Besides, he felt that those new recruits and county soldiers were unreliable.

"General!" Liu Tao had another idea, "Can you ask the general to use two thousand troops to restrain the new recruits and restrain the people who are being held captive for us? As for the enemy headquarters, it will be handed over to our militia to deal with it!"

"Why are your militias better than my subordinates?" Zou Jing retorted that his soldiers were fighting at the border, and they were not at the same level as the militias that had only been trained for a few months.

"But if the general had not come forward, how could he restrain the new recruits?" Liu Tao retorted. Anyway, he didn't think that his thousand militia soldiers could make the new recruits charge properly, after all, most of them had only been training for a few days.

"Those thousands of new recruits are simply useless!" Zou Jing shook his head. It would be safer to take the risk and charge directly than to fight with unstable new recruits.

"The people who are being bullied on the opposite side don't have to be much better! Besides, they are just restrained and don't need to fight head-on!" Liu Tao also had his idea. Thousands of new recruits are better than tens of thousands of people who are being bullied. Not to mention anything else, it is also good to break a gap and let them get in.

"You really want to take risks?" Zou Jing weighed the pros and cons after hearing this.

"You must take risks. Taking risks is much smaller than not taking risks! But if the militia loses troops and loses generals, I hope to add some to the new recruits!" Liu Tao also offered his price, and he could not sacrifice in vain.

"Okay, I can promise you this! Not only that, if I can kill the enemy, I will express your merits to the governor!" Zou Jing agreed without thinking.

The first contribution is not the first contribution to make, but the team that made the greatest contribution. Liu Tao couldn't calm down after hearing this!

A war involving tens of thousands of people was made, and the success was just around the corner. For example, Zhu Yan defeated Lianglong's tens of thousands of troops with 5,000 people, and was directly granted a title of marquis, and was able to join the court as a counselor.

If you take a gamble and become a general, Liu Bei can defeat the Yellow Turbans of Zhuo County. Can't Liu Tao do it?!

"The two need to think carefully. If there is any accident, the soldiers and civilians in the county will suffer together!" The prefect was still a little worried, especially if they failed to fight in the city, who will protect Zhuo County?

"Leave a group of recruits to help you defend Zhuo County!" Zou Jing thought for a while, and finally made a little concession. The soldiers recruited and trained. Some of the training time was too short, so it was better to take them out, so staying was better.

"General, I have to go back to the village and mobilize!" Liu Tao stepped forward.

"Well, I also need to go back and mobilize. I will gather outside the city tomorrow!" Zou Jing nodded and then left quickly.

The two left, but the others did not leave. Finally, the prefect took the lead and discussed the issue of city defense. The premise is, of course, how to do a good job in city defense if Zou Jing was defeated, trapped in the enemy's formation, or even died because of this.

Not to mention anything else, whether the defeated soldiers should be released will be a question.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Liu Tao. He went back to Zhuangzi, summoned everyone, and at the same time expressed Zou Jing and his plans.

"Warring outside the city? Thousands and tens of thousands?" Even if Liu Tao explained the key, after hearing this plan, let alone the two civil officials Lu Yan and Jian Yong, the two middle-level commanders Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu, even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could not help but exclaim.

As a result, Liu Tao knew it with emotion and lured it with profit. In the end, he threatened to destroy Zhuo County and everyone was about to be ruined, which made the four of them make up their minds...
