There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Brat, you can't run away!

On the way back to the governor's mansion, the pottery merchant asked Tao Qian something.

"Father, aren't the Danyang elite soldiers in your hands all capable of fighting?"

The Tao merchant was taken aback when he heard the words, and didn't understand why the Tao merchant asked him about this. The old man rolled his eyes and said proudly: "Why did you suddenly think of asking this? Of course the old man's Danyang soldiers can fight."

"The Danyang soldier, don't you like to rebel?"

Tao Qian's figure flickered when he heard the words, and he almost fell off the carriage.

"Who, who told you?"

The pottery merchant smiled when he heard the words, but said nothing.

After all, he came from a later age, and according to some clues recorded in history, he can more or less grasp some inside information.

Tao Qian was silent for a while before he said: "Son, the so-called elite soldiers in Danyang do not refer to ordinary people in the eighteen counties of Danyang. If you go to Wanling County, Moling County, Hushu and other counties in the county to recruit soldiers, then The recruited soldiers are no different from normal soldiers, and their fighting spirit is not strong."

Speaking of this, Tao Qian paused, as if recalling something.

"The recruitment of the so-called Danyang elite soldiers refers to the tribal mountain people living in the surrounding counties in Danyang County, such as Beishan, Lianshui, and Hanjiang. There are many barbarian villages in these places. The so-called mountain people Living together refers to them, they are the predecessors of Danyang elite soldiers, but although they fought bravely, if they were loyal, it would be very difficult to be a father back then, because they were natives of Danyang County, and we Among the people of the Tao family, several generations had contacts with the people of Han Jiangshan, and they were lucky enough to recruit a group of elite soldiers from Danyang. Even for these elite soldiers, it took me a lot of troubles, how much effort and money I spent to get them back, otherwise Hehe, those mountain people are not so easy to convince me."

Tao Qian's words coincided with some deeds that the pottery merchant knew in his previous life.

The so-called Danyang elite soldiers do not refer to the county residents of the eighteen counties of Danyang, but the mountain people who were born in the dangerous mountains and rivers and lived around the dangerous mountains and rivers.

These mountain people are brave and sturdy, and they are the most capable of fighting against heaven and earth.

The Danyang Mountain People are good at everything, but there is a fly in the ointment. They are very fierce when they fight the enemy, and it is also a blast to beat their own master.

The leaders of Wei, Shu, and Wu have all recruited elite soldiers from Danyang.

The bravery of Danyang's elite soldiers has indeed brought benefits to the leaders of the Three Kingdoms, but water can carry a boat and also overturn it. Cao, Sun, and Liu, the three elder brothers, have also suffered from Danyang's elite soldiers.

Let me talk about Cao Cao first.

The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms says: Taizu had few soldiers, but he recruited soldiers from Yangzhou with Xiahou Dun and others, and four thousand soldiers from Danyang.Back at Longkang, many soldiers rebelled.

Wei Shu said: "The army conspired to rebel, and burned Taizu's tent at night. Taizu killed dozens of people with his sword, and the rest were invincible. Then they came out of the camp; there were more than [-] people who did not rebel."

Imagine that Cao Cao, the number one leader in the Three Kingdoms, recruited 500 Danyang elite soldiers, but when he returned to Longkang, only 500 of them did not rebel, and the remaining [-] rebelled. What kind of situation is this? horror situation?

It is estimated that it is more dangerous than the Battle of Chibi!

Poor Cao Cao was sleeping in the middle of the night, but he was chased around by more than 500 Danyang elite soldiers who were under his rebellion. I don’t know if he ran naked or not. It’s very likely that he just wore a pair of briefs and started crying. Anyway, that scene It must be wonderful.

However, Cao Cao was indeed extremely brave. Wei Shuyun: Taizu killed dozens of people with his sword, and then he came out of the camp.It can be seen that everyone in the world only saw Cao Cao's great talent and strategy, but ignored that Emperor Wu of Cao was actually a real fighter!

As for Liu Bei, after taking over Xuzhou in history, he also had a team of Danyang soldiers. Unfortunately, these Danyang soldiers were unfamiliar wolves. Yu Danyang's soldiers stationed at Xibaimen rebelled and drove Zhang Fei out of Xuzhou.

Poor Liu Bei just won a big state as his foundation, but he was betrayed by Danyang soldiers, and he lived on the streets wearing briefs again.

Sun Quan was even more cheerful. The Danyang mountain people in his jurisdiction cooperated with Baiyue and rebelled almost every year.

But I have to say that Sun Zhongmou is also a ruthless character, aren't you against it?Okay, I will control barbarians with barbarians!Lao Sun recruits a large number of Danyang people every year, and then uses them to suppress the Danyang rebellion.

One rebellion every year, one suppression every year, and one recruitment every year. This has become the trilogy of procedures that Emperor Wu must go through every year after inheriting the foundation. Like the annual summary, there is a fixed day every year. If the Danyang mountain people have not yet rebelled, Sun Quan would feel uncomfortable all over his body, feeling that there was something missing to do, and then urged his subordinates: "Go and send someone to urge the Danyang mountain people, it's time to rebel!"

With some historical information for reference, coupled with Tao Qian's explanation of the Danyang elite soldiers to the pottery merchants, the pottery merchants couldn't help but smash their mouths. A plan to use Danyang mountain people to get rid of Wu Jing and Zhou Xin, in the gradually formed in the mind.

"Father, how many elite Danyang soldiers in your hands can you lend me as envoys? It doesn't need to be many, a hundred or so will do."

Tao Qian said proudly: "My son finally opened his mouth to the old man, how can the old man refuse? 100 people are not enough, the old man will give you one hundred and fifty!"

This is my dear father, so open and bright.

Seeing the potter's depressed expression, Tao Qian couldn't help being happy: "Stinky boy, the old man is teasing you, the old man allocated two thousand Danyang soldiers for you, is that okay?"

"Father, for my people, try to choose those with high loyalty. Danyang soldiers are so rebellious. I don't think they are still worrying about it."

Tao Qian nodded and said: "Don't worry, my soldiers have been tempered for several years anyway, not to mention all of them swear allegiance to the death, but if they are asked to rebel, it is easy and impossible. How can they compare with those newly recruited soldiers? .”

After hearing Tao Qian's words, the potter was relieved.

"Son, when I go to Danyang County this time, I want to let you take someone with me. It is your elder brother Tao Ji. He has been assisting the old man in managing the Danyang elite soldiers. With him helping you, you can rest assured about the management of Danyang elite soldiers. , and you are a brother with high skills, much better than your two brothers. I am old, and the brothers in your clan should support each other in the future. After all, no matter how talented the noble clan is, it is still an outsider, or your own family. Brothers in the same family are more reassuring."

Chapter 185 Going to Danyang County

Without further ado, the pottery merchant gathered his own people the next day and headed south to Danyang County.

During this period of time when they were stationed in Xuzhou, the pottery merchants asked Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Xu Rong to cooperate with Hu Cai to drop strokes in Baibo Valley, which was more than 11, and carry out population selection.

The 11 people included old and young, strong and weak, and it was impossible for the potters to let them all serve as soldiers, so they could only select the most elite ones for use.

In the end, Xu Chu and others selected the most hard-covered soldiers, a total of 3 soldiers.

In addition, there are [-] warriors from the Xu clan, [-] Taishan troops, [-] Hanoi soldiers, and [-] Floating Cloud Yellow Turbans.

And Tao Qian equipped the potters with two thousand Danyang elite soldiers, and sent his son and nephew Tao Ji to help the potters lead the potters, not just 150 people.

These 5000 people belonged entirely to the potter's own army!

From then on, these 4 people will serve as the most fundamental team of potters and follow them around the world.

In all fairness, an army of 5000 men is already at the top of the list among the princes of the world.

Even if Tao Qian himself has more soldiers and horses in his hands, I am afraid that he will not have more soldiers than pottery merchants.

So far, pottery merchants have become the largest foreign power in Xuzhou.

Of course, the power of the princes is still in its infancy. If it takes a year or two, no matter what others say, with Yuan's strength and reputation, it is relatively easy to recruit a huge army of more than [-].

But among the 5000 men, most of them are the strong and strong Baibo army, without formal training, and in the eyes of the potters, their combat power is very insufficient.

Of course, when we got back to Danyang County, the training task would be handed over to Xu Rong.

Excluding the 8 Baibo Army soldiers who were included in the Taoshang Army, the remaining 8 Baibo surrendered. The Pottery Merchant found Han Hao and asked him to prepare for Danyang County, and register these [-] people. , and began to use these people as pilots to implement farming.

There are also people in Xuzhuang. The potters also obtained Tao Qian's permission. After he took over Danyang County, he asked them to move here to farm together.

One is that the pottery merchants in Xuzhuang are trustworthy, and they want them to be pilots, as the guidance of the whole county, and the gradual promotion of farming in the future requires good pilots.

Second, it can be regarded as the lovesickness between Xu Chu and his mother-in-law.

The plan has been made, and the next step is to implement the strategy to get rid of Wu Jing and Zhou Xin.

Wu Jing's soldiers and horses have not yet arrived, and the current Danyang governor is Zhou Xin, Yuan Shao's direct descendant.
