Hu Zhao's desire to survive is extremely strong!

has been in the county position of Gaotang County for three years, and Hu Zhao's ability to "bend and stretch" is perfect.

Liu Bei originally intended to remove Hu Zhao from the post of county minister and let Zheng Ping be the county minister.

At this time, seeing that Hu Zhao took the initiative to resign, and recommended himself to be a loose official beside Zheng Ping, Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Zheng Ping.

People are Zheng Ping's hope to stay, and Liu Bei has to refer to Zheng Ping's opinion.

"County Zun, let's leave Hu Zhao for the time being, with Hu Zhao here, it can save a lot of time." Zheng Ping decided Hu Zhao's fate with one word.

Hu Zhao was overjoyed and thanked Zheng Ping again and again.

Although his authority was cut, at least his life was saved.

Hu Zhao is a very realistic person.

In order to survive, you can follow the previous Gao Tang Ling to do nonsense.

Similarly, in order to survive, you can also obey Liu Bei.

As for the traitor?

What kind of loyalty and traitor does he talk about as a county man with little background!

Liu Bei saw that Zheng Ping had made a decision, and immediately took advantage of the situation to sell Zheng Ping's face, agreed to Hu Zhao's resignation, and worshiped Zheng Ping as the new county governor of Gaotang County.

"County honor, county Cheng, what is in this box is the statistics of Gaotang County's household registration, population, money and grain, houses, fields, lawsuits, thieves and other documents in the past three years."

"The lower officials will classify it and make a separate book, so that the county lord and the county can clearly understand the changes in Gaotang County in the past three years."

Hu Zhaolisuo took out two volumes of the documents in the box and handed them to Liu Bei and Zheng Ping respectively.

Zhang Fei saw that Hu Zhao wanted Liu Bei and Zheng Ping to deal with official documents at this banquet, and immediately said angrily: "Hu Zhao, you are also rude!" Today, my eldest brother held a banquet to entertain Mr., but you moved out the official documents, did you deliberately want to be in bad mood? ”

"It's okay!" Zheng Ping stretched out his hand to stop it, but his eyes fell on the document handed by Hu Zhao.

The document clearly records the gathering places of the seven Yellow Turban thieves in Gaotang County, as well as the information of the thieves and the thieves.

Among them, the largest one, headed by Xu Qi, gathered more than 1,000 people, and there were 500 Yellow Turban thieves who could fight.

Except for Xu Qi, the number of the remaining six yellow scarves ranged from 500 to 800.

The sum of the seven yellow scarves is nearly 5,000 people!

In the entire Gaotang County, the registered population is more than 40,000 people.

One stone of grain and rice is only enough for one person to eat for about 40 days.

Even if the amount of food for the old and weak is averaged, if you want 5,000 people to last until the autumn harvest, you will have at least 5,000 stone of grain and rice!

After the autumn harvest, even if these yellow turbans work hard to support themselves, they have to wait for the next autumn harvest.

At the same time, we have to hope for a good harvest next year.

Once there is a shortage of food, it will inevitably be robbed!

"Hu Zhao, you are doing your job, but you are doing your duty." Zheng Ping looked at Hu Zhao meaningfully.

Although he followed the previous Gao Tang Order, Hu Zhao's own position as a county official did not fall behind, but did better than ordinary mediocre officials.

Hu Zhao said humbly: "Xie Xiancheng praised, my father studied under Kang Chenggong, and the villain did not dare to fall into Kang Chenggong's reputation." ”

The son of this Kangcheng Gongmen, Hu Zhao is ready to eat for a lifetime.

"You're smart!" Zheng Ping gently put down the paperwork and said with a smile: "Inform the rich businessmen you can notify, come to the county government tomorrow to discuss the autumn harvest." ”

"Don't be smart!"

Hu Zhao's heart sank, and he hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, the villain will do it!" ”

After Hu Zhao retreated, Zheng Ping handed the document to Liu Bei: "Can the county know that there are five thousand yellow scarves in Gaotang County?" ”

"Five thousand?" Liu Bei was taken aback, quickly took the paperwork and swept it, then stomped his feet and scolded: "Damn, I always thought that there were only more than a thousand yellow scarves in Gaotang County!" ”

Zhang Fei also came up, glaring angrily: "Wow! When he took office, Gao Tang Ling even concealed this. ”

"Fortunately, Mr. is here, otherwise five thousand people gathered to fight Gaotang County, how could we stop it in a hurry?"

Liu Bei also realized the seriousness of the situation, and exhaled deeply, Liu Bei saluted Zheng Ping again: "The autumn harvest is imminent, and the yellow turban thieves will definitely come to grab grain." ”

"Please also ask Sir to teach me how to break the enemy."

Zheng Ping helped Liu Bei up, and there was no panic in his eyes because there were 5,000 people in the yellow scarf.

"Does the county want to exterminate these five thousand yellow turbans, or only punish the thieves and recalcitrant people?" Zheng Ping gave Liu Bei the right to choose.

This......

Liu Bei really hesitated.

Zhang Fei shouted: "A thief is a thief, naturally he will be wiped out!" ”

"If you fight a snake, you won't die, but you will suffer from it, I understand this truth!"

"Sir, tell me about this strategy of annihilation!"

Zheng Ping saw that Liu Bei was hesitating, and said to Zhang Fei: "Although there are many Yellow Turban thieves, most of them are old and weak women and children. ”

"These thieves have no combat effectiveness, and it is impossible for the Yellow Turban Thieves to give them too much food."

"Just use grain and rice as bait in the depths of the valley, bury something that ignites the fire, and when it goes deep into the valley, block the exit with rolling stones."

"Burn it with a rocket, and it can be destroyed in a war."

"If you go back to the Yellow Turban Cottage to carry grain and rice, it is enough for Gaotang County to raise another thousand soldiers."

"This plan can wipe out the yellow turbans in Gaotang County in a very short period of time, but it is too vicious, and I am afraid that it will affect the benevolent name of the county."

Rao is Zhang Fei couldn't help but be startled: "Sir, do you have to attack with fire?" Is it too cruel? ”

Zheng Ping picked up the wine bottle, shook the white water in the wine bottle, and sighed softly: "Once you will succeed, ten thousand bones will wither, how can there be any cruelty?" ”

"Since you are asking about the strategy of destroying the yellow turbans, how can you say that the fire attack is cruel with the kindness of the woman?"

"If you let anyone go, you may kill an innocent Gaotang County citizen."

"Someone is going to die!"

Zhang Fei was silent.

Although Zheng Ping's answer was set based on Zhang Fei's question, Zhang Fei always felt a little blocked in his heart.

"No!" Liu Bei's breath was a little panting, and he was obviously shocked by Zheng Ping's fire attack strategy.

Back then, Huangfu Song set fire to the fire, and the long society was scorched all over the place.

That scene, Liu Bei still remembers it vividly!

Fire attack is the way of the battlefield, and there is no right or wrong about this.

But what shocked Liu Bei was that many of those charred corpses were women and children!

Liu Bei's three views can't accept the slaughter of unarmed women and children, even on the battlefield!

"The Yellow Turban thieves, most of whom are people who are coerced and can't survive, how can they be wiped out? Ask Sir to teach me the strategy of only punishing the head of the thief and the recalcitrant ones! Liu Bei's eyes became firm.

If Huangfu Song heard it, he would definitely scold Liu Bei for his kindness.

A fire burned the yellow scarf, once and for all!

Not only is the Yellow Turban in Gaotang County gone, but other Yellow Turbans in Pingyuan County do not dare to invade Gaotang County.

Yellow scarves are also people, and they will also bully the soft and fear the hard.

Zheng Ping drank all the white water from the wine bottle, and looked at Liu Bei with more admiration in his eyes.

Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times must be valued by the people, people-oriented, people-oriented, and the people are noble.

Killing thieves and recalcitrant ones means that it takes more effort to deploy.

At the same time, it is necessary to solve the problem of grain and rice for the Yellow Turban thieves who surrendered.

Other yellow turbans in Plains County will also hear the news.

People suffer from inequality.

The chain problems that arise from this are not something that can be easily undertaken!

"County Zun, do you dare to borrow money?"
