Danyang soldiers, as the name suggests, refers to the soldiers recruited near Danyang County of the Great Han Dynasty, in history Yuan Shu once said that "this place is famous for its elite soldiers", and has a very high evaluation of Danyang soldiers, even now, Fuquan has also heard some rumors that "the world's elite soldiers come out of Danyang", which shows the courage and elite of Danyang soldiers.

Probably due to the mountainous area, treacherous terrain, steep mountains and other geographical reasons in Danyang, the living conditions of the local people are extremely poor, and the survival and combat ability of these people are naturally exercised under the poor mountains and bad waters. Their martial arts prevailed, and they often went to the mountains to hunt for a living, which greatly exercised their physique and spiritual will, which was very similar to the Banyu barbarians under the command of Fuquan.

In addition, due to the fact that the Shanyue alien tribes in the south often haunt and provoke right and wrong, and sometimes rebel, this also indirectly causes the local people to practice martial arts and sharpen their own traditions in order to protect themselves, so it is natural for the local young and strong people to train into an elite army with firm will and fierce combat power with only a little training.

Li Ling, the eldest grandson of Li Guangzhi, the former Han Fei general, led 5,000 people to resist the Xiongnu 80,000 elite cavalry, and tried his best to fight to the death in the case of no reinforcements, and finally after no arrows in his hands, the border battle retreated, leaving only 400 people to withdraw to the pass, the commander Li Ling was forced to surrender, and the deputy marshal Han Yannian died in battle. With the courage of the Huns at that time, 5,000 Danyang soldiers were able to make Shan Yu frightened, almost retreating, and finally found out that Li Ling had no help before he dared to attack, and the elite and good fighting of Danyang soldiers can be seen.

Even among the warlords who rose in the late Han Dynasty, there were many people who relied on Danyang soldiers to start their careers, such as Tao Qian and Sun Ce, and in other famous battles, there were countless figures of Danyang soldiers. Even the later Eastern Wu, as the Taishou of Danyang, the status of the courtiers of the Sun family is unparalleled, like when Zhuge Ke was in power, a big reason why he can be unscrupulous is that Zhuge Ke was the Taishou of Danyang and held the elite heavy troops of Eastern Wu.

Fu Quan has always wanted to expand his troops since he retreated from the burning grain, after all, after his night attack, Huang Sui's grain and grass are definitely not much, and if he doesn't take advantage of this time to attack Huang Sui, it will definitely be a brain pump.

Taking advantage of his illness, he wanted his life, this is the consistent principle of the battlefield, so on the way to Zongyang, he decided to recruit soldiers, and finally returned to the famous "Danyang elite soldiers" in later generations, and later the three kingdoms of Liu, Cao, and Sun, which family does not have a such army, he is now close to the water, not recruiting some, and I'm sorry for myself, isn't it?

Of course, although it is said that the Danyang soldiers are not necessarily Danyang people, because the Danyang soldiers are strong because of his harsh terrain, and the south is mountainous and the mountains are spreading endlessly, so such as Lujiang County, Jiujiang County, Yuzhang County, Guangling County and other places near Danyang County, soldiers close to the mountains are also suitable for elite infantry.

Now Fuquan is located in Lujiang County, close to Zongyang, Danyang County, and the territory is the remnants of the continuous Dabie Mountain, and there are too many people who can be recruited to meet the requirements of Fuquan. And because most of these people live in poverty, they can get a lot of rewards after joining the army, and the traitors in the territory are wanton plundering, so they are also willing to recruit soldiers, after Fuquan sent a recruitment message, in just one day, thousands of people are willing to join the army, it can be seen that the "Danyang soldiers" can be so brilliant in the late Han Dynasty, but it is not without reason.

In this regard, Fu Quan carefully screened, spent two days of effort, and still used the original standard of selecting the barbarian soldiers, with "wearing heavy armor, holding big shields, knives and spears, carrying crossbows, carrying ten-day rations, and traveling a hundred miles in half a day" to select more than 1,000 soldiers, and his original soldiers and horses, among which there were 3,000 people who could fight again.

In fact, if it weren't for the lack of time, when other people who heard the news from afar came to apply, it is estimated that there will be more people who can meet the requirements. As for the money needed to recruit soldiers, the small city of Zongyang naturally couldn't make up so much, Fuquan just took a troop from its treasury to temporarily recruit people with success, and the rest of the money was all white, stamped with his official seal, and promised that after quelling the chaos, let the Lujiang County Treasury make up for the debt.

This trick works very well, after all, Fuquan used the official seal to make a white note, naturally in addition to the credibility of the government, he also has his own personal name. After all, if Fuquan and the Lujiang County Government Office do not fulfill their promises after the rebellion, the Lujiang County Government Office may not have much to do with it, but Fuquan's own reputation will stink, so those people who successfully applied for the recruitment are not afraid of Fuquan's tricks.

As for whether the Lujiang County Office will agree to his seemingly unreasonable request after the chaos is quelled, Fu Quan is not too worried. After all, if you talk about the public, you have Liu Hong's order, and the money and food needed by the army will be supplied by the states and counties along the way, and now you need money and food for rest, and the Lujiang County Office has to make it up for yourself even if you smash the pot and sell iron; In terms of personal matters, he has a deep relationship with the current Lujiang County Taishou Lu Kang, and he gave up the Jingzhou rebels and went to Lujiang to support, and he was also invited by him. In addition, he helped Lu Kang to quell the chaos, both in public and private, and the Lujiang County Office had to pay back the money and food owed to him.

In the west of Zongyang City, there is a towering mountain, named Daguan Mountain, there is a flat boulder on the top of the mountain, there are two natural traces on it, it resembles a pair of big footprints, it is called Shooting Jiaotai, this stone platform is quite famous, it is said that Emperor Wu of the former Han and Han Dynasty shot Jiaolong with arrows here and got the name.

Legend has it that the former Han Yuan sealed five years, in winter, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went out to the south, he went down the river, arrived at Zongyang, suddenly saw the river flooding, the waves were turbulent. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty climbed on the bank of the Zongyang River to reach the Guanshan, he suspected that there was a dragon in the river making waves, so he twisted his bow and arrows, shot into the river, and suddenly the wind and waves stopped. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very excited, and improvised the "Song of Zongyang in the Tang Dynasty" to record this incident, and the descendants named this stone platform "Shooting Jiaotai" because of this incident.

At this time, a young general on the stage was leading several other generals to look at the rolling river under the stage, discussing the military, and now it has been three days since the Han army rested in Zongyang.

Now the few people discussing military affairs on this shooting platform are none other than Fu Quan and several henchmen under his command, looking at their faces at this time, they are extremely bad, and the battle ahead is very bad.

"Junhou, the scout came to report, the Huang Sui thief army has been besieging Shu County in turn for three days, day and night, the offensive is very urgent, it is reported that the thief army has attacked the city several times, all of them were repelled by Lu Lujiang and his troops, and now the situation is as dangerous as a tired egg."

"In the winter of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the Tianzhu Mountain, called Nanyue. Fujiang, from Xunyang out of Zongyang, through Pengli, worship its famous mountains and rivers. Excerpt from "Historical Records: Filial Piety and Martial Piety"

"(Yuan Feng) five years of winter, the south patrol, as for the Tang Dynasty, hope to worship Yu Shun in Jiuzhi. Climb the Tianzhu Mountain, from the Xunyang Fujiang River, shoot in the Jiaojiang River, and get it. Thousands of miles away, Bo Zongyang came out, and made "The Song of Zongyang in the Tang Dynasty". Excerpt from "Hanshu Wudi Ji"
