"What did Cao Cao do to deserve the title of Prefecture Overseer?" This is inappropriate!"
Bao Xin continued to persuade him,"Who else can take on this important task besides you?"”
"Meng Zhuo, what do you think?" he asked Zhang Miao.”
Zhang Miao was a soft-hearted person, and he knew that this was not the time to hesitate. He nodded and said,""At this critical moment, only Meng De can lead us to protect Yanzhou!”
Cao Cao pushed again,"Cao Cao has just arrived and I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the masses."”
"Most of the provincial governors and prefects have died in battle," Bao Xin urged."With me and Meng Zhuo here, who dares to disobey?”
At this moment, Zhang Miao could only get on board."Don't worry, Meng De. With your prestige and talent in dealing with Dong Shi, and our full support, there won't be a problem!”
Cao Cao still wanted to say something, but Bao Xin continued,"This is urgent. Does Meng De want Yanzhou to fall?”
"Since that's the case, I can only accept the order in the face of danger!”
Bao Xin struck while the iron was hot and cupped his fists."Greetings, Prefecture Overseer!"
Zhang Miao followed suit!
"Please stand up!"
The matter was settled. Everyone present was excited. Only Zhang Miao was confused, but he was not disgusted. He knew Cao Cao's ability. At this moment, they really needed to rely on him to turn the tide!
"Ding! Help Cao Cao become the Prefecture Overseer. You have completed the mission. You are rewarded with a Valiant General Card.”
Who could he get from the second Fierce General Card?
Cao Cao, who sat on the main seat, said solemnly,""A million Yellow Turban soldiers are coming at us menacingly, and we have just been defeated. It's really not suitable for us to fight.”
A messenger passed down the order, informing him that Cao Cao had accepted the order and was now the Prefecture Overseer.
As long as this battle was fought beautifully, not to mention defeating the Yellow Turbans, if they could return empty-handed, Cao Cao's Prefecture Overseer would basically be safe.
"There will definitely be deserters from the 100,000 soldiers that Liu Dai brought. At this time, we can't waste a single soldier. Send people to recruit them to help defend the city!”
"Pay close attention to the journey of the Yellow Turban army. Prepare for battle at all places and be ready to support at any time.”
Cao Cao's thoughts were clear and he was not in a hurry. He gave out orders one after another, sending them to the various prefectures and regions to calm the panicked people and gather their fighting strength.
At this moment, the counties all silently agreed that someone had stepped forward to lead the troops. It was better than chaos and fighting for themselves!
After all kinds of emergency measures were set up, the few of them began to discuss the battle. They had to defend, but how? Where? This was a huge problem!
At this moment, it was time for the strategist to appear. Xi Zhi was the one who shouldered the responsibility.
It was time for Xi Mou to perform. Next, it was time to witness a miracle.
"My lord, I have a plan to return a million Yellow Turbans!”
Everyone was pleasantly surprised!
"Sir, tell me quickly!"
Xi Zhicai said calmly,"The reason why the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are invincible is that they rely on their terrifying numbers to make people lose the will to resist and fear. Therefore, if he wanted to defeat them, he had to face this problem.”
Everyone nodded. That was indeed the case.
Xi Zhicai continued." However, the few leaders may not understand this point. It's not difficult to solve this problem. In my opinion, it's just a small trick!”
Cao Yu rolled his eyes. This guy was addicted to acting tough!
As expected, Cao Cao and the others quickly played the role of a sidekick."Teacher, don't keep me in suspense. Quickly tell me!”
A certain someone nodded in satisfaction and said,""The million Yellow Turban soldiers are mostly the old, the weak, women, and children. It will be troublesome for the canal marshals to take them with them. Not only will they slow down the march, but they will also be difficult to manage.”
Hearing this, Cao Yu came to a realization. This was indeed a brilliant move.
Cao Cao was not stupid. He was pleasantly surprised." Sir, you mean to clear the wilderness and leave empty cities for the Yellow Turban Army. While settling the old, weak, women, and children, you also want to reduce their terrifying numbers?"”
Xi Zhicai nodded." That's right. My lord is intelligent and understands everything with just a little bit!”
Cao Cao was very depressed. Although he was praised, he was not happy at all!
Cao Yu snickered at the side. This time, I'll learn to be smart. If I keep quiet and don't speak, I won't act cool for others!
Xi Zhicai continued," Once their numbers are reduced, their advantage will be gone. The soldiers won't be frightened when facing them, which will be very beneficial to the defense of the city. When the Yellow Turban army runs out of food and grass, we will be able to win a battle!”
Indeed, facing a million people and facing 100,000 or 200,000 people was a different concept.
Cao Cao slammed the table and stood up.”
Then, he bowed to Xi Zhicai."Cao Cao is blessed by the heavens to be able to get Sir's help!”
Xi Zhicai quickly helped him up.”
Cao Yu sighed. This was the role of a top strategist. A small plan was sometimes more effective than a million troops.
The current Cao Cao was in high spirits as he gave out orders one after another!
"Yuncheng, inform all the counties that all soldiers and civilians must gather in Lu County without delay. Leave the empty city to the Yellow Turban women and children. We will welcome their army here!”
"Yes!"
"Inform the other counties to bow their bows, saddle their horses, and dress their men. If they disobey orders during wartime, they will be punished by military law!”
"Yes!"
"Get the soldiers and civilians of Lu County to move out, strengthen the city walls, prepare the city defense equipment, and enter combat readiness.”
"Yes!"
The orders were issued one after another, and the entire Yanzhou became busy, especially in Jibei Country. The entire country was mobilized, and several long dragons dragged their families to Lu County.
During this period of time, the 50,000 soldiers who had survived the battle with Liu Dai had also arrived at Lu County. The arrival of this new force made everyone extremely excited. After quickly comforting them, they joined the ranks of the city defenders.
This way, there would be a total of 100,000 soldiers in Lu County, which was enough. There was no need to transfer troops to other places.
Xi Zhicai secretly gave Cao Yu a thumbs up. Well done!
Cao Yu grinned. Where was this? This time, he wanted to fight Yongyi and solve the problem of Qingzhou's Yellow Turban.
Well, he couldn't delay his marriage with Xiu-Er any longer. Otherwise, it would be a waste to stay with a beauty all day without being able to enjoy her.
