Chapter 428 Danyang Soldiers (1)
Han Zhan stayed in Guan Hai's military camp for more than an hour before leading his tiger and leopard cavalry out of the camp and heading towards Linzi City.
Zhao Yun was worried that Han Zhan was in danger, so he arranged a lot of horses near the camp. When the horses saw Han Zhan leading his army out of the camp, they immediately sent someone to report to Zhao Yun, so as not to worry in the city.
When Han Zhan led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the outside of the city, they saw Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xun You and others who had already led their troops to wait there. When they saw Han Zhan appear, they said in unison: "The last general (under) will meet the lord!"
"No gift!" Han Zhan turned over and got off the horse, walked to Xun You, and asked with a smile: "Gongda, are you safe?"
"Thank you for your concern." Although Xun You was a relative of Han Zhan, in front of many subordinates, he met Han Zhan with the courtesy of his subordinates: "Everything is fine!"
Everyone returned to the palace of the state, and Xun You had already arranged a banquet to welcome Han Zhan. Xun You originally had a lot to say to Han Zhan, but because there were too many people attending the banquet, especially the two outsiders Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were present, he swallowed everything he wanted to say and only talked about harmless things.
After finally waiting for the banquet, everyone left one after another. In the end, only Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao and others were left in the conference hall. Han Zhan asked Xun You: "Gongda, I saw that you were worried all night. Is there anything hidden in my heart? You might as well say it out to see if I can solve your problems."
"Lord!" Xun You, who had just sat down, heard Han Zhan ask him, and quickly stood up and replied: "According to the lord's plan, after our army pacified Qingzhou, we will move our troops westward after we have rested and attacked Bingzhou. After we have obtained the Qingbing and Bingzhou, we will seize Youzhou at the right time..."
"Yes, that's what I plan." Han Zhan gave Xun You an affirmative answer and asked back: "Gongda, is there anything wrong with it?"
"If our army did not surrender the 400,000 Yellow Turban thieves, perhaps the lord's original plan was the best." Xun You said slowly: "But now we suddenly have 400,000 more people. Even if there are only 10% of the soldiers who can fight, that is still 400,000. Under the current circumstances, we can adjust the strategy we formulated at the beginning."
Xun You's words aroused Han Zhan's interest. He looked at Xun You and asked with interest: "I don't know what Gongda has to say it. It just so happened that Zilong and Han Sheng, the two commanders and deputy generals of the Eastern Expedition, were there, so let them listen together."
Xun You took out a map, unfolded it and said to Han Zhan: "My lord, please see the picture. After our army seized Qingzhou, we can send troops from Dongwu City in Chengyang County and go west to capture Dongguan County and Langya County in Xuzhou. After seizing these two counties, we can continue to attack Liu Dai's Yanzhou. In this way, the original Jizhou and Qingzhou can be connected together."
Han Zhan stared at the map in front of him and quickly thought about Xun You's suggestions. If he seized two counties from Xuzhou after occupying Qingzhou, and then went west to capture Liu Dai's Yanzhou, his Jizhou and Qingzhou could be connected into a complete piece. He only needed to deploy heavy troops in some important cities to prevent the princes from attacking him.
Seeing Han Zhan staring at the map in a daze, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong also got up and walked over, staring at the map placed in front of Han Zhan. But neither of them spoke, but waited patiently for Han Zhan to make a decision.
Han Zhan knew that Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, had an elite army composed of Danyang soldiers. If he rashly led his troops to attack Xuzhou, this army would definitely cause him a lot of trouble. Therefore, he frowned and said, "You should still remember that the famous general Li Ling of the past, five thousand Danyang soldiers, fought against the 80,000 elite cavalry of the Xiongnu. He fought to the death without support, and in the end there were only 400 people left. Even the Xiongnu, who had always been famous for his toughness and good combat, had not known that Li Ling had no support, probably the 80,000 army would have been defeated by 5,000 Danyang soldiers.
Tell me, if we met the Danyang soldiers under Tao Qian when we were attacking Xuzhou, can we deal with it? You know, even if they only have 10,000 people, they will definitely be stronger than the 400,000 Yellow Turbans we have captured."
Han Zhan's words made everyone silent. The Danyang soldiers were really so powerful that the price they paid to defeat this army must be quite high. Even Xun You was secretly regretting in his heart, thinking that he had forgotten such an important army.
Han Zhan tried hard to recall the information related to the Danyang soldiers, and vaguely remembered that Tao Qian once gave Liu Bei four thousand Danyang soldiers. It is said that the five hundred swords and axes who stayed by Guan Yu at any time were also all Danyang soldiers. If such a powerful soldier could be taken to his own use, wouldn’t it be better to fight to the death?
After a while, Xun You said, "Report to the lord, my subordinates know that the Taishi Pioneer had been with Liu Yao for a while and were familiar with the situation of the Danyang soldiers. Now with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as the vanguard, we can send the Taishi Pioneer to Danyang to see if we can recruit a group of new recruits for the lord."
