Chapter 113: The world's elite soldiers come out of Danyang

Why did Zhang Fan salivate over Zu Lang's Shanyue soldiers? Because this is the core cornerstone of the famous Danyang elite soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Danyang County borders with Huiji County, is located in the north of Huiji County, established in the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (109 BC), leading 17 counties, the area roughly includes the south of Anhui, the west of southern Jiangsu and the northwest of Zhejiang, and the county is Wanling.

Cao Cao once said: "Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good at martial arts, noble strength, and the land of elite soldiers." ”

This comment made the "Danyang Elite Soldiers" go down in history.

In fact, Danyang soldiers were already famous in the Western Han Dynasty. In September of the second year of the Tianhan Dynasty (99 years), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the famous general Li Ling to lead 5,000 elite soldiers out of Juyan to meet the Xiongnu in Junji Mountain. The Xiongnu summoned more than 80,000 elite iron cavalry to besiege the Han army, but they were defeated in succession. Shan Yu exclaimed: "This Han elite soldier can't hit it." In desperation, he planned to withdraw from the army.

At this time, a traitor to the Han army told that Li Ling's army was running out of arrows and had no backup; The Huns fought desperately. The Han army suffered heavy casualties, and only more than 400 of the 5,000 soldiers withdrew to the pass. However, this battle made the Xiongnu fearful. The main force of these 5,000 elite soldiers is the Danyang soldiers, and a small part of them are Chudi soldiers.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the warlords fought and rose together. Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian is a native of Danyang County, Xuzhou has jurisdiction over 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Tao Qian can control only his own "old book": 30,000 Danyang elite soldiers.

Tao Qian did not have a general under him, so he relied on 30,000 soldiers to defeat the Yellow Turban Army and sit firmly in Xuzhou. Later, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou three times but did not defeat it, and finally understood the power of the Danyang soldiers.

Liu Bei reinforced Tao Qian to resist Cao, and Liu Bei's power was extremely weak at that time, so Tao Qian gave him 4,000 Danyang soldiers; This elite soldier became Liu Bei's "family base", and then followed Liu Bei to fight thousands of miles and made great achievements.

The establishment of the Soochow regime of the Three Kingdoms was greatly contributed by the Danyang soldiers. A few years after Sun Jian's death, his eldest son Sun Ce was "determined to do something" and went to Yuan Shu to return his father's old department; Yuan Shu didn't take Sun Ce, who was only a teenager, in his eyes at first, and fooled Sun Ce many times. Sun Ce insisted on begging, and Yuan Shu asked Sun Ce to go to Danyang to recruit troops by himself, he said: "Danyang is famous for the world's elite soldiers. ”

Sun Ce knew that if he wanted to pacify Jiangdong and become a prince, he could not do without Danyang's military resources and materials, so he must stick to Danyang as a base. After Zhou Yu actually took over Danyang, he continued to send "Danyang soldiers", as well as supplies of food and grass for boats and ships, to support Sun Ce's sweep of Jiangdong.

Sun Ce sat down, and Yuan Shu knew that he was fooled, and he sent his cousin Yuan Yin to serve as the county guard of Danyang, so that Zhou Shang's uncle and nephew returned to Shouchun. Sun Ce didn't pay attention to it at all, he expelled Yuan Yin and ordered his cousin Xu Kun to be the county guard. However, Sun Ce was afraid that Xu Kun had heavy troops, and Danyang was a place for elite soldiers, so he was quite uneasy, so he asked his uncle Wu Jing to resume as the county guard. It can be seen that the importance of Danyang as a base in Sun Ce's heart.

At the beginning of Sun Ce's development, it was mainly due to one person and one place, the person was Zhou Yu, and the land was Danyang. As he himself said:

"Zhou Gongjin is a talented person, and he is good at the same time, and he is divided between flesh and blood. As in Danyang before, the public and the ship food to help the big things, on the virtue of rewarding merit, this is not enough to repay the person. ”

And Zhou Yu's "hair and ship rations" is to send Danyang soldiers and transport Danyang's strategic materials. The world of Dongwu can be said to be mostly fought by Danyang soldiers, and since then Danyang's position in Dongwu has played a pivotal role, and those who serve as Danyang county guards are all close and important ministers of the Wu lord, such as Cheng Pu, Tai Shici, Huang Gai, Han Dang, etc.

The reason why the Danyang soldiers are brave is because Danyang County is the accumulation place of Shanyue people, and the Shanyue people are strong, brave and good at fighting, and they are an important source of soldiers that the overlords of all parties want to recruit. But later, the Shanyue people were either exterminated, or appeased out of the mountain, and gradually assimilated by the Han people, so the brilliance of the "elite soldiers" did not reappear after the Jin Dynasty.

If Zhang Fan can win this batch of first-class soldiers, in cooperation with the cross-era training, he will definitely create a magnificent army, sweep the Eight Desolations and Liuhe for him, and finally determine the world.

Jing County, Zulang Benzhai, a middle-aged strategist is reporting information to Zulang:

"Qi Yu Zongshuai, Zhang Thief has arrived in Liyang County, and is expected to enter Jing County in six days."

Zu Lang's right fingers kept tapping on the armrest next to the seat, "How many people did they bring?" ”

"Hui Zongshuai. About six thousand people. ”

Zu Lang smiled coldly, "Six thousand? Zhang Fan's children are so rampant! Just 6,000 people dare to attack my walled city? It's just funny! Who's in the lead? ”

"Zhang Fan personally led the army to fight, but there were no Ling Cao and Ling Tong among the accompanying generals. It is said that Zhang Fan left their father and son to stick to the village. ”

Zu Lang was a little surprised, "No Ling Cao? Can the intelligence be confirmed? ”

"Pretty much for sure." The strategist nodded.

"Humph! Isn't this sail crazy? Ling Cao is the number one general in his army, and he is a good hand at cutting generals and holding flags, and I still want to fight with him...... Why did you stay? Isn't that overkill? ”

The advisor speculated: "Uh...... This is because he wants to leave a way back. In case he is defeated, there are still 2,000 military horses in this village who can make a comeback and not collapse. ”

Zu Lang pondered for a moment and then said, "Did Peng Shi reply to the letter?" ”

Replied. However, he directly rejected Zong Shuai's proposal. He said that the terrain of Huanglongzhai is special, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Zhang Fan only left less than 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard, it is not something that his thousands of shrimp soldiers and crabs will be able to shake, but ...... If Zong Shuai can provide 8,000 elite soldiers to support, he may still have the strength to fight. ”

"How can that be?" , Zu Lang scolded: "Shameless rats! I think he was scared by Zhang Fan! Qiantang is less than 100 miles away from Huanglongzhai, and now the Huanglongzhai guards are weak, and Zhang Fan is not there, which is a good opportunity of a lifetime. Are the more than 8,000 people under his command stupid? Are you embarrassed to let me send 8,000 men to help him? Eight thousand people are not eight people, how can they not be detected by Zhang Fan? This kind of shameless words are also said? ”

Zong Shuai was angry...... This sail has won a series of battles and has never been defeated. He is very prestigious in the Huiji area, and it is not surprising that Peng Shi is afraid of him. ”

"The rat's eyes are so light that the mud can't hold up the wall. He never thought that no matter whether Zhang Fan won or lost this battle, as long as Zhang Fan did not die, he would do something to him sooner or later, after all, on the side of the couch, how could he allow others to sleep peacefully? I can't even figure out such a simple truth, this bastard is really stupid! ”

"Sect Marshal, why don't we ask for help from your sworn brother, Sect Marshal Yutu! He would definitely be willing to help us. ”

Zhang Fan glared at the strategist: "How can an army of 40,000 laborers be afraid of his soft-footed shrimp that is only 6,000?" Asking for help before the fight even starts, that's not my style. Labor and management not only want to defeat him completely, but also have a fair duel with him, so that the Jiangdong rats know how powerful I am Yan Baihu! . ”

"But......" the adviser stopped.

Zu Lang waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, don't mention this again!" Go down first! The counsellor had no choice but to bow and leave......
