Chapter 452: Ghosts and ingenious schemes, I think back to the time when Gong Jin was in the past!
The saying that the best soldiers in the world came out of Danyang is not just empty talk.
Danyang County, Yangzhou, has many mountains, which are high and steep.
The people are good at climbing and have strong bodies, so the folk customs in this place are tough.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Danyang soldiers could even be said to be synonymous with the strongest infantry.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Li Ling's five thousand dead soldiers were elite soldiers from Danyang!
When Li Ling attacked the Xiongnu, he used 5,000 men to fight against the 80,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry. He fought to the death with no reinforcements, and finally only 400 people were left to retreat to the pass.
The commander Li Ling was forced to surrender, and his deputy Han Yannian died in the battle. With the bravery of the Xiongnu cavalry, the five thousand Danyang soldiers were so frightened that the Shanyu almost retreated!?
Finally, it was discovered that Li Ling had no support before he dared to attack, which shows that Danyang soldiers are good at fighting.
Further forward, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, had 8,000 Jiangdong soldiers, which were the Danyang soldiers.
Danyang soldiers do not need to undergo much training. They are already extremely powerful. If they use special arms training methods, they can even reach higher levels!
"If we can control the elite soldiers of Danyang, we may not be able to reproduce the heroic style of the Overlord's eight thousand Jiangdong disciples!"
Liu Hao has already tasted the benefits of Danyang's elite soldiers.
It turned out that the thousands of Danyang elite troops under the command of General Cao Bao of Xuzhou had been trained by Lin Chong and had become Liu Hao's trump card troops. They also showed great splendor in the Eighteenth Route Princes' challenge to Dong.
The main force of hundreds of Danyang elite troops, following Qin Qiong, bravely moved forward and succeeded in a surprise attack on Hulao Pass at night!
Hearing Liu Hao's call, Cao Shaoqin, who was standing behind Liu Hao, took a step forward, cupped his fists and said: "My lord, the power of Danyang County is actually in the hands of Liu Yao, but the nominal governor is the original Luoyang
Changshi Zhou Yi, after he returned to his hometown from Luoyang with his family, he was recruited by Liu Yao and became the governor of Danyang County."
"Zhou Yi!?"
Thinking of this name, Liu Hao suddenly remembered another person:
Zhou Yu!
Yes, this Zhou Yiqi is not famous, but he has a good son, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin!
I recall Gong Jin’s majestic appearance in those days!
When they were in Luoyang, Zhou Yu and Liu Hao became close friends upon meeting!
Now, Liu Hao is going to attack Jiangdong, and he will inevitably have to meet Zhou Yu again!
"I almost forgot... I don't know if Zhou Yu is hooking up with the little bully Sun Ce now!"
Liu Hao also had concerns in his heart.
According to the advantage of the foreknowledge, without his interference, Zhou Yu might have defected to Sun Ce just like in the original Three Kingdoms.
"My lord, what's the difficulty in getting these Danyang elite soldiers? I've thought of a feasible plan. My lord can make use of his relationship with Zhou Yu to make a fuss about this!"
Guo Jia gave a trademark evil smile and said: "My lord, now is a tense and sensitive time with turmoil and chaos. Yangzhou is not monolithic. As long as my lord can provoke a conflict between Liu Yao and the local wealthy family, Liu Yao is very suspicious and ill. When the time comes,
He will definitely be suspicious of his subordinates, and then the lord will be able to take advantage of it..."
This plan is wonderful!
Liu Hao's eyes lit up and he instantly understood what Guo Jia meant.
This plan has three steps.
The first step was to send out ancient naval forces to spread rumors and exaggerate the relationship between Liu Hao and Danyang Prefect Zhou Yi, so that the news could reach Liu Yao.
Then, Liu Yao must have had doubts and wanted to deal with Zhou Yi.
Because he himself was not a native of Yangzhou, and the pacification of Yangzhou relied on an agreement with the local nobles, he must be afraid of the popular sentiment among his subordinates.
How could a great talent like Zhou Yu be allowed to be slaughtered by Liu Yao?
At that time, taking advantage of the civil strife in Yangzhou, Liu Hao can directly use the power of thunder to take over Danyang County!
"Awesome! Guo Fengxiao!"
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Liu Hao's mouth.
The genius Guo Fengxiao can come up with extraordinary plans, as simple as eating and drinking!
Liu Yao's control relied heavily on the local nobles, but in fact he was not that strong!
Next, there was another discussion about the details of using troops in Jiangdong. Liu Hao raised his hand, summoned a guard in royal robes, and said, "It's not too late! Send someone to deliver a letter to Lord Zhou Yi. I want to talk to him."
He, reminisce about old friendships!"
.......
A few days later.
Qu'a, in the residence of Liu Yao's governor.
Liu Yao was also discussing things with his subordinate Wen Wu.
After Chen Wen, the original governor of Yangzhou, died of illness, Liu Yao took over.
He was also a member of the Han Dynasty, so he was not simple himself. He took office alone and gathered tens of thousands of soldiers. The local wealthy families also recognized his status.
Now that Liu Hao has moved his capital to Moling, the next step is to look eastward. This undoubtedly touched Liu Yao's sensitive nerves.
"No, something bad is going to happen!"
Just when everyone was discussing how to deal with Liu Hao, there was a spy outside the door and ran in quickly. As he ran, he said: "The governor, the general, I am afraid that he has colluded with Danyang Zhou Yi!"
"What!?"
All the civil and military people in Yangzhou were silent and stunned!
When Liu Yao heard the message from his spies, he was so frightened that he rolled down from the table...
"Is everything you said true?"
Liu Yao stood up in embarrassment. He didn't have time to dust himself off and asked.
"Lord, this is absolutely true. I listened to the adults and watched every move in Moling. I saw a messenger sneaking out of the city with my own eyes. I followed him all the way to Xuancheng County, Danyang County, and then
I saw with my own eyes that Liu Hao's messenger sneaked into the Zhou family's mansion..."
Liu Yao's face became more and more gloomy, and the spy continued: "Master Governor, this spy stayed in the Zhou Mansion for a full night and has not come out yet. This morning, Danyang Prefect Zhou Yi sent him out in person with a smile on his face.
I don’t dare to delay, I will come back soon to report the message to my lord..."
"Well done to you, Zhou Yi! Send more manpower to this governor and continue to monitor the Zhou Mansion!"
After hearing this, the face of Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, became increasingly ugly, as dark as if he could drip black water... ..
