Overlord!

Chapter 106
Speaking of conscription in Liyang, Sun Ce inevitably thought of continuing to conscript in Danyang.

In any case, Danyang elite soldiers are the best source of soldiers in this era.

Liyang, a rich and large county, provided Sun Ce with wealth of tens of thousands of catties of gold and thousands of troops.Even if the eight counties of Danyang are a little poorer, it should be possible for the eight counties to provide [-] to [-] troops.

Sun Ce immediately said to Gao Cheng: "With Yunzhang's talents, it is not enough to rule a county of a hundred miles. I plan to appoint you as the captain of the northern part of Danyang, in charge of training troops in the eight counties."

The northern captain and the northern governor look very similar, but their duties are quite different.

The northern governor is actually responsible for the political direction, and it is impossible for Gui Lan to be in charge of commanding the army under Sun Ce.But his reputation is also what Sun Ce needs, so it can almost be said that he is acting as the prefect of Danyang and inspecting the northern part of Danyang for Sun Ce.This official position is only a temporary one.

As for the northern captain, Sun Ce is responsible for recruiting new soldiers and training soldiers.

Sun Ce plans to promote reforms in this direction in the future and completely separate the powers of the captain and the prefect.The prefect is responsible for handling government affairs, and no longer has the power to command and dispatch the army.

Lieutenants also do not have the right to command troops. They are only responsible for military registration, conscription, farmland, arsenal, and water transportation within their jurisdiction. They recruit recruits, complete preliminary inspections, training, and screening, and then hand them over to professional generals to command operations.

Gao Cheng immediately cupped his hands and said, "Cheng must devote all his energy to living up to the general's entrustment. If I am appointed to perform my duties, I plan to talk to Mr. Yuan Fu first."

Danyang prefect Yuan Yin?

Sun Ce asked with great interest, "What is Yun Zhang going to talk to Mr. Yuan Fu about?"

Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Then let's talk about how he continues to support us! The general was ordered to repel Liu Zhenwu for General Yuan and attack Wang Lang. In order to help the conquest, all the counties in Jiangdong are united. Is it true that the Yuan family is still planning to stay out of the matter?" ?”

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing, good guy, this is a good way to catch an honest person and bully him.

After seizing Yuan Yin's city, Yuan Yin was required to continue to provide food and grass for the army.

At that time, the children of a family like Yuan Yin should not abandon their official position directly because of fear.

After all, to the north was Sun Ce's elite army, and to the south was the bandits from Shanyue, who gathered ants from the five counties of Jingnan and frequently rebelled.

He, a prefect with an unstable foundation, has no soldiers and no food, and is in a very difficult situation.

Thinking of Shanyue, Sun Ce said: "The people of Shanyue in the east of the Yangtze River are good at martial arts. They are noble and powerful, unruly and heroic. They rebel and provoke chaos at every turn. They gather thousands of troops. They can't be eradicated even if they are stubborn. You recruit troops in Danyang , You can also take the initiative to recruit heroes from the mountains, and absorb the common people into the plains."

The scale of Shanyue in Jiangdong is probably tens of thousands of people. In any country and at any time, it is by no means an easy task to conquer and solve a foreign race with tens of thousands of people.Otherwise, there would be no such thing as Wu Huan Hua.The Xiongnu, Jie, and Xianbei are alien races with tens of thousands of people, but they have caused chaos in the Central Plains for hundreds of years!

On this point, we have to affirm Jiangdong's achievements. He really completely wiped out and melted a foreign race with tens of thousands of people, instead of planting so many mines like the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and there were several at a time.

Gao Cheng immediately nodded and said: "General, I think that if you want to rule Jiangdong, you need to gather people together and make all the heroes unite as one. Now in every county, there are so-called Zongshuai and Haoshuai who occupy the mountains and forests and lure them into exile. People like Yan Baihu, Jiao Ji, Pan Lin, etc. all gathered tens of thousands of people to disagree with me, wasting their strength in vain. At the peak of Wu County, the population was more than [-], but now it cannot Half of them are because of this generation's hindrance. I think it should be calmed down quickly."

These powerful sects are handsome and handsome, indeed they have done a lot of harm.For example, Pan Lin lived in the chaotic mountains, forged his own armored soldiers on weekdays, and went down the mountains to plunder the people in autumn. For many years, the officials and officials who ruled Jiangdong were unable to calm him down.

And Yan Baihu even pulled tens of thousands of people around Fuchun Mountain, and fled among Danyang, Wujun, and Kuaiji.

Of course, he didn't dare to call himself King De of the Eastern Wu like in the novel.

Unless he is crazy, if he dares to call out the title of king, no matter who occupies Jiangdong, he will have to attack immediately and encircle him in the mountains.

In fact, even if he has tens of thousands of people, he doesn't have any plans to compete for supremacy.

Some people, even if they only have five hundred or one thousand troops, they still dare to think about how to conquer one side and achieve a king's foundation.Such as Liu Bei and Sun Ce.

Even if some people have tens of thousands of people, all he thinks about is how to occupy the mountains and forests and enjoy themselves happily.For example, Yan Baihu and his ilk.

So Sun Ce said very calmly: "Yan Baihu and other bandits don't have great ambitions, they just want to become birds. As long as the Wuhui is wiped out, there will be Jiangdong, and the others will be alone and helpless. Under fear, they may surrender without a fight. Therefore, , At this time, we should wait for the gods to drive eastward and attack Wang Lang quickly, so as to establish the general situation in Jiangdong."

This is not something that can be judged by the talents of counselors, but only those heroes who swallow thousands of miles like a tiger can make judgments from their minds.

With Sun Ce's rhetoric, Jiang Dong seems to be able to make a move, but in fact, with Sun Ce's strength, it is by no means an easy task to defeat Wang Lang with such force.

The main reason is that the number of troops he can use has been greatly reduced.

This is also the inevitable expansion of strength. He took out five thousand steps to ride westward, and simply won the most prosperous northern essence hinterland in Danyang County.There are only a few thousand troops left that can be used to attack Kuaiji County, which is less than [-].

But not all of the nine thousand men could be put into battle.

In this southern expedition, Sun Ce did not mobilize corvee.Material transportation mainly depends on the supply of stored grain in Qiantang.Across the Qiantang River in Qiantang County, to the south is Kuaiji.

There are more than 3000 ziggurats in the Israeli army, which guarantees sufficient logistical supplies.

Therefore, excluding the guards and the soldiers who transported the carts, excluding the doctors, nurses, cooks, etc., Sun Ce's main force that can be used for fighting is only more than [-] people.

Unless Wang Lang took the initiative to fight a decisive battle, then Sun Ce could gather an army of 8000 to [-] people.

But obviously Wang Lang would not be so rampant that he would think of fighting a decisive battle with Sun Ce in the wild.

And if Wang Lang is responsible for blocking the city guard, then if Sun Ce wants to divide his troops, the size of the army will be even more stretched, and the divided troops may only have two to three thousand people.

This situation made Sun Ce feel a little bit emotional, as expected, winning with more is always the right way of war!To win a war, the most direct way is to have as many troops as possible.

Therefore, the significance of Gao Cheng and Shao Zhuo to Sun Ce is even more extraordinary. Their recruitment directly affects the scale of Sun Ce's strength.

In fact, even now, Sun Ce's army is not small.

The main force alone has more than [-] people from various school lieutenants and the Beifu Army, in addition to more than [-] soldiers from the army.

However, Gao Cheng, Shao Zhuo, Pan Zhang and others continued to recruit soldiers.

Taking Wu County as a county, raising so many troops already shows the atmosphere of troubled times.

The number of troops that can be used has decreased, because the expansion of the territory has diluted his strength.But Danyang has been in a hurry for several days, and it is too late to provide much strength.

So after Gao Cheng was sent to Danyang to recruit troops, Sun Ce sent his troops directly to Qiantang, not only to investigate the enemy's situation, but also to find a way to gather heroes.

That's right, gathering heroes.

When Sun Ce is at this time, it can be said that the general trend has been achieved, and the hearts of the people will return.He was in Jiangdong, and he took the same script as Cao Cao when he first started his army in Yanzhou.

There are always heroes and heroes who lead their troops to defect.There are also powerful families who firmly believe that the one who can secure Jiangdong must be Sun Lang alone.

And thanks to Zhu Huan, a fanatic, who praised him wildly at the beginning, it has been spread throughout Jiangdong that Sun Ce "has the weapon of a hero, and he will always be able to control the imperial machine, swallow the rivers and Huaihe Rivers and kill the princes, flog the universe, and vibrate the world."

You must know that Zhu Huanna is also a hero who is famous in the states and counties for his righteousness and wealth. He directly accepted his head and surrendered, causing many heroes in Jiangdong to follow suit.

After all, most heroes understand the general trend of the world with a hammer.

What is the difference between a prince who occupies Wujun and a prince who occupies Kuaiji?
This problem can be figured out by heroes in Zongheng Township?

But so many people say that Sun Lang has the weapon of a hero, and those who can bring peace to the world must be people.But no one has ever said that Wang Lang can wipe out the heroes and stabilize the world.

The heroes naturally felt that it seemed more promising to join Sun Lang.

However, not all heroes are such rough and fierce generals, there are also many heroes who are quite discerning and talented.

For example, the Li family army under Cao Cao, when Lu Bu led the army to attack the Cheng family, was rejected by the Li family hero Li Gan.The Li family firmly believes that Cao Cao is the hero in troubled times. The three generations of the Li family, until Li Diandu led more than ten thousand members of the clan tribe, have always served Cao Cao loyally.

And Sun Ce finally ushered in the defection of this hero after he was stationed in Qiantang.

Although there may not be as many clan trilogy as Li's, there are more than [-].

But the influence is definitely far beyond Li Dian.

Because the identity of the comer is very special, and the status is very respected!
If Zhu Zhi is not counted, then he is the one with the highest status among the heroes who took the initiative to seek refuge with Sun Ce in an absolute sense.After all, Zhu Zhi is special. As early as when Sun Ce was still in Huainan, he had already persuaded Sun Ce to go to Jiangdong to stand on his own.

Before Sun Ce's army started to attack Wu County, he had already defeated the prefect of Wu County, and he almost cooperated with Sun Ce.It's just that he took the initiative to retreat and was willing to assist Sun Ce as an old official of the Sun family to establish Jiangdong's foundation.

And this new investment tycoon, in an absolute sense, is a voter, raising his troops to join him!
Raising troops to surrender instead of leading his troops to defect, that is to say, his subordinates have real troops.

But now, besides Sun Ce and Wang Lang, the only ones who can command the army in Jiangdong are the captains of Kuaiji.

That's right, it was Quanrou, the eastern captain of Kuaiji County, who defected to Sun Ce.Sun Quan called the history of the commander of the general's mansion when he was called the general of the chariot.

Quanrou's reputation is not much in history, but he was able to take the lead in being promoted to the chief of the Cheqi General's House. It can be said that his main achievement and qualifications are his decisive surrender this time, which made his contribution and status surpass most of Soochow in one fell swoop. General school.

Even if Jiang Qin, Huang Gai, Ling Cao and others have fought for many years, they have never been able to surpass him in status.

Because the timing of his joining this time was really perfect.

Sun Ce and Wang Lang are leading the army to confront each other, and the outcome will determine the ownership of the entire Jiangdong.

At this critical moment, Quan Rou, the most powerful captain in Kuaiji County and the military commander in command of a large number of county soldiers, unexpectedly sent troops to join him first, and led more than [-] troops into Wu County to join him!
This shock to the hearts of the people is no different from an earthquake.

The key is that Quan Rou is not just the captain of the eastern part of Kuaiji County, he is not a strong man in the countryside, but a famous man who is famous all over the world and famous in Manzhou County.

When he was Emperor Ling, he was promoted as Xiaolian, and he was replaced by Shangshu Youcheng.Above the Shangshu Youcheng is the Shangshu Order, and the minister who recorded the Shangshu's affairs is the most powerful minister in the world. It can be said that the imperial decree is issued from him.

This kind of person, during Dong Zhuo's rebellion, abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown, and was appointed by the governor of Yangzhou as Biejia to work, and then the imperial court ordered Quanrou to be the captain of the eastern part of Kuaiji.

With this kind of reputation and qualifications, he took the initiative to lead his army into Wu County to surrender without waiting for Sun Ce's army to enter Kuaiji. It can be said that the heroes of the family and local officials in the entire Kuaiji County thought about whether they should surrender to Sun Ce in time?
Therefore, facing this talent's surrender, Sun Ce also attached great importance to it, and personally interviewed their father and son.

Like Wen Qin and Wen Yang, Quan Rou and his son also led the army together. His son Quan Cong had hundreds of members of his own tribe even before he was crowned, and they were all northern refugees supported by his family wealth.

The name Quan Cong is very famous, and Sun Ce is also very familiar with it.The famous general of Soochow Wu in the Romance, and Zhu Huan are both the left and right governors.

Of course, he did have great military exploits in history, and Zhu Huan used Cao Ren to make military exploits.Quan Cong took Zang Ba to gain fame. Zang Ba attacked Xu Ling with five hundred light boats and ten thousand people who dared to die.

In addition, he has supervised 6 or [-] troops and fought fiercely with Cao Wei several times, winning and losing each other.

There are 6 or [-] troops in the army, and even Sun Ce has never commanded such a large-scale army.

Quan Rou and Quan Cong were also shocked at the moment. After they entered Wu County, they were immediately spotted by the cavalry.

Just beside the Qiantang River, nearly a thousand iron cavalry lined up on the riverside plain, their banners and armor shining brightly on the sky and the earth.

Especially in the front row, the majestic knights in armored riding gear were as tall as iron towers. Those soldiers from Kuaiji County who didn't know why, trembled in horror when they saw them.

If this iron cavalry launched a surprise attack at that time, I am afraid that the soldiers of Kuaiji County would have to be driven into the river, and thousands of people would drown and die.

Quan Cong, who was just a teenager, saw this scene, and immediately became agitated, shouting: "A true hero should be like this, with golden arms and iron horses, he will rule the world."

It has to be said that the majesty and majesty of riding a dragon and sparrow in a costume is indeed the most likely to arouse the enthusiasm of these young people.

But what shocked Quan Rou, Quan Cong and his son even more was the demeanor of the entire army.

The cavalry is well-dressed and well-equipped, and they think it is because they are elite.It can be seen that in the big camp, the soldiers guarding and patrolling everywhere are all wearing neat scarlet military uniforms. Everyone is full of vigor and energy, and they are full of admiration on their faces.

The style and appearance of this army is fundamentally different from those muddle-headed soldiers in Kuaiji County.
