Han Xuan didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, could it be that someone deliberately publicized it? Ignoring those first, Han Xuan smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this, I have hired all of them." Pu Yuan and his men all happily agreed, and if they could join a big family like the Han family, their good days were coming.

Han Xuan first asked Pu Song to help him make a pair of stirrups, and only after taking Pu Song and returning to Han's mansion did he tell Pu Song the purpose of the stirrups, and repeatedly told Pu Song not to leak out. Han Xuan knew that stirrups would definitely become popular once they were on the battlefield, and Han Xuan only hoped that day would come later.

The problem at the moment was to get some war horses, so Han Xuan found Han Hao and asked, "Big brother, do you know where to buy high-grade horses?" Han Hao looked at Han Xuan with a serious face and said, "I heard that you have hired a lot of blacksmiths to live in the house, are you going to open a blacksmith shop at home?" You're going to buy a horse again, what the hell are you going to do? ”

Han Xuan said: "Of course, it's to form a cavalry!" Han Hao sneered: "As long as you still want to form a cavalry, your equestrian skills are really clumsy." And you have to know that forming a cavalry is time-consuming and costly. Han Xuan said with a smile: "Xuan'er has something that can quickly form a cavalry." ”

Han Xuan took Han Hao to the stable, Han Xuan took out his horse to show Han Hao, and Su Qiaoer didn't know where to run over to see the excitement. Han Xuan said: "This thing is called a stirrup, and with it, even beginners can learn to ride a horse in a short time. ”

When Su Qiao'er heard this, she immediately ran over happily and said to Han Xuan: "So I can also ride a horse, hurry up, let me ride it." Han Xuan was anxious to prove himself to Han Hao, and said to Su Qiao'er: "You have never ridden a horse, so I'll take you to ride it first." ”

Han Xuan hugged Su Qiao'er and stepped on the stirrup on the horse's back, and Han Xuan immediately got on the horse and sat behind her. Han Xuan held the reins in his hand and looked at Su Qiao'er in his arms, and said with a smile: "Sit tight!" With that, he kicked the stirrup, and the horse ran. Han Xuan looked at the road in the distance, and didn't notice that Su Qiao'er's little face in his arms was already as red as a ripe persimmon.

Han Hao was not worried about them, so he also rode a horse to follow. The three of them came to the outside of the city, and Han Xuan said to Han Hao, "Big brother! How about it, do you want to race a horse with Xuan'er? Han Hao advised: "It's better to slow down, don't fall." Han Xuan smiled, and the horse accelerated forward.

"Drive!" Han Xuan felt the excitement of galloping, and when he was too fast, he was afraid that Su Qiao'er would fall, so he couldn't help but hug her a little tighter. Riding on this flat avenue, Han Xuan sang excitedly and loudly: "Let us be the companion of Hongchen and live a chic life." Riding horses and galloping, sharing the prosperity of the world......."

Han Hao rode his horse and followed closely, and after a while, Han Xuan and the others stopped. Han Xuan's horse was already so tired that he had no physical strength, Han Xuan looked at Han Hao who was following and cried: "Big brother, my mount endurance is not good." ”

Han Hao said: "This stirrup does have a miraculous effect, if you want a good horse, you can buy it from Bingzhou." ”

Han Xuan was stunned, yes, he almost forgot that this Hanoi County is not too far away from Bingzhou. The state is rich in good horses, especially in the northern part of the state, which is a savannah and close to the nomads.

Back at Han's Mansion, Han Xuan asked Han Hao to withdraw some gold and silver and several large boxes of copper coins from the treasury, and took more than 200 soldiers to prepare to go to Shangdang and other places to buy horses.

Su Qiao'er had to make a noise to ask Han Xuan to take her with her, Han Xuan said: "This time, we must act secretly, turn into a business trip, and take you as a girl, so it will be exposed." After hearing this, Su Qiao'er was so angry that she pouted and ran away.

Han Xuan and the others were just about to set off, but they found that Su Qiao'er was dressed as a man and ran over. It was the middle of winter, Su Qiao'er's face with a padded jacket lined with blush was very cute, Han Xuan was stunned, Su Qiaoer said proudly: "How is it, does it look like a man?" Han Xuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "What is it like, how can a man be so beautiful." Su Qiao'er lowered her head shyly when she heard this.

Han Xuan still took Su Qiao'er on the road with him, and because he was carrying a large amount of gold and silver, Han Xuan had to let the soldiers carry swords on the carriage in case of accidents.

The group walked for a day, and finally arrived in the territory of Bingzhou, where there were more and more bustling teams leading a large number of horses. Han Xuan asked one of the soldiers in the team: "Wang Fu, I heard that your hometown is from Bingzhou, do you know where this is in front of you?" ”

The soldier named Wang Fu replied, "Second son, there is a horse market ahead. Merchants from all over the world bought horses from here and sold them in various places. ”

Han Xuan said to Yang Xiong: "This is equivalent to taking the goods directly from the manufacturer." Yang Xiong, you tell everyone to stop here, let's go see if there are any good horses, everyone go to various exchanges to ask the price, and then gather here. Yang Xiong heard it in a fog, and still ordered the soldiers to ask the price everywhere.

Han Xuan and his family soldiers walked around the horse market, and finally came to a relatively large exchange. The boss was negotiating with the two horse merchants, and Su Qiao'er stepped forward and asked, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell the horses here?" ”

The boss glanced at Su Qiao'er, who was dressed in men's clothes, and said disdainfully: "Don't you see that I'm talking about business, you want to buy a horse and wait later." ”

Han Xuan pulled Su Qiao'er back with a smile: "Look, you are still dressed as a man, who can't recognize you!" ”

Han Xuan then stepped forward and said to the boss: "Shopkeeper, I want thousands of good horses, but seeing that you are so busy, I should go to another house!" ”

As soon as the boss heard this, he immediately stopped talking with the two horse merchants, grabbed Han Xuan and said: "The guest is slow, in Xia Zhu Gui, I just neglected the son, and please don't blame the son." There are all kinds of good horses here, please choose any kind of childe. ”

Zhu Gui took Han Xuan and them to visit the stable, and the two horse merchants had no choice but to follow them. Han Xuan saw a fiery red horse, its body was smooth and tight, its mane was neat, standing in the stable and neighing from time to time, as if it wanted to rush out and gallop on the boundless grassland.

Han Xuan walked up to it and gently stroked its forehead, and the horse also rubbed Han Xuan as if it was human. Han Xuan was overjoyed and said to Zhu Gui: "I want this horse!" How much? Zhu Gui exclaimed: "Alas, the son is really a good vision." As soon as I came, I fell in love with the treasure of our town! ”

The two horse merchants said to Zhu Gui: "Shopkeeper Zhu, we have negotiated with you before, and this horse will be sold to us." ”

Zhu Gui said to Han Xuan with a smile: "Childe, look at this ......" Han Xuan wanted the horse and said, "I will pay double as much as they pay!" After hearing this, Zhu Gui smiled as bright as a peach blossom with a round face, and said, "Childe is really generous!" It is said that this BMW recognizes the owner, and sure enough, it is true. I'll charge a little less, how about charging you 500 yuan? ”

Yang Xiong was furious when he heard this: "What, so expensive!" You profiteer. Han Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Yang Xiong, pay the bill first." Then he said to Zhu Gui: "Shopkeeper Zhu, I still need a thousand good horses, you must give me a cheaper!" ”

Zhu Gui said with a sad face: "Childe, it's really unfortunate, I don't have so many horses for the time being." It's just that the two of them have negotiated with me to buy a thousand good horses. After speaking, he looked at the two horse merchants.

One of the horse merchants with a good face and a fat body stepped forward and said to Han Xuan: "This son, in Xia Sushuang, this is Zhang Shiping." The two of us are horse dealers who come and go from all over the world, and we have made an appointment to come here today to buy horses. Previously, the son had bought the BMW that I was optimistic about, and now he wants to compete with me for this thousand good horses, and I can't get the goods, but this trip will run in vain. Please also ask the son to raise his noble hand. ”

Han Xuan felt familiar when he heard the names "Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang", and after thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that they were not the two Zhongshan businessmen who funded Liu Bei to recruit troops and buy horses in history. Liu Bei is really lucky, he was funded by them, and now he still has to make friends with them.
