Liu Bei, leading an army with Zhao Yun, set out toward Xiapi in Xuzhou with more than twenty thousand Danyang troops. It's said that Liu Bei had already returned the Danyang soldiers' weapons and equipment back to them. As for the gear of the fallen Danyang soldiers, Liu Bei didn't keep it but directly handed it over to the various private troops of the Danyang.
Speaking of which, the Danyang troops should be considered the most unique force in the Han Dynasty. Other forces lack low-ranking officers, but it's quite the opposite with the Danyang troops; there is an abundance at every level. However, they often lack a commander-in-chief. Is it because the recruitment in Danyang is done village by village?
