Chapter 13: Conspiracy

Han Xuan ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and there were a lot of weapons and horses and other trophies from these fallen bandits, and Han Xuan took them all according to the order, and he didn't want to waste them at all. The sentry stood on the watchtower and saw in the distance that Han Hao had finally returned with men and horses and a large number of supplies, and immediately informed Han Xuan, who led a few hundred people with donkey carts and carriages to greet him.

Han Xuan rode a horse and Yang Xiong came to Han Hao, he had learned to ride a horse in the past two months, although his equestrian skills were not proficient. Han Xuan looked at the soldiers pulling cartloads of food and other supplies, and said with great joy: "Big brother, you have successfully laid down the cottage!" With such a big harvest, I also want to attack the cottage, which is much better than my defense here. ”

Han Hao saw that Han Xuan was also covered in blood, and asked eagerly: "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you, you are covered in blood." Dock fort has been attacked? Han Xuan nodded and replied, "Big brother, don't worry, Xuan'er has lived up to her mission and guarded the dock fort." ”

Han Hao was concerned about Han Xuan again: "You are not injured, right?" At the same time, he blamed Yang Xiong: "Yang Xiong, didn't I let you protect the second son!" ”

Yang Xiong lowered his head and replied: "The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the head of the family." ”

Han Xuan said to Han Hao: "Okay, I'm not injured, don't blame him." I'm going to go into battle and kill the enemy. Unexpectedly, the first time I led the troops, I encountered so many bandits, and the soldiers saw that I was extremely brave, and all of them had high morale and fought bravely to kill the enemy, so they held the dock fort. ”

Yang Xiong didn't forget to pat Han Xuan's ass: "Yes, the second son is really the most heroic boy the villain has ever seen." And when the gate was breached, the second son led the family soldiers to line up in a strict formation, calmly, and the villain was really admired. ”

Han Xuan's face turned red when he praised him: "Eh, let's go back and talk about it." ”

Everyone returned to the dock fort, and Han Hao ordered someone to repair the gate of the dock fort, and brought Han Xuan, Yang Xiong and others to the council hall. Han Hao said: "This time to capture the cottage depends on your lives, Hao is grateful, and those who attack the cottage with me this time will be rewarded." "Those who are with him will listen to Dayue.

Han Hao asked a scribe dressed up beside him: "Wang Tai, how are our casualties, have you counted them carefully?" Wang Tai arched his hand and replied: "My lord, there are 531 killed and 512 wounded in this attack. ”

This time it was just an attack on a small cottage, Han Hao brought 2,000 people, and more than half of the battle was lost. Han Hao frowned and asked, "How about the casualties in the defense of the dock fort?" Han Xuan replied: "I asked Yang Xiong to count, it should be fine now." ”

I saw Yang Xiong come in and report to Han Hao: "Family master, this time the second prince guarded the main fort of Wubao and killed thirty-two people, and fifty-nine were injured. The gates of the main fort were breached, and there were no casualties among the sub-forts. He killed more than 400 bandits, captured 15 horses, and 500 weapons......"

Han Hao and all the Hakka generals were shocked, with less than 100 casualties, but they killed more than 400 bandits, this was the first time that Han Xuan led his troops to achieve such a result.

When Han Xuan heard this, he felt that it was okay, it was easier to defend the city than to attack it, but there were still a lot of injured people. Han Xuan said: "Big brother, please also reward those injured brothers, especially the seriously injured brothers, to heal them." Han Hao said, "Xuan'er, you don't know anything. Seriously injured people can only wait to die if they are not treated in time. ”

Han Xuan almost forgot that the medical conditions in this era were particularly backward, and there were too few miracle doctors like Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

Han Xuan ran out of the council hall and came to the wounded barracks. I saw a soldier with two arrows in his body, and a doctor took out a knife to take out the arrow cluster for him, Han Xuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "You can't take arrows for him directly like this, you have to go through disinfection first." The doctor asked, "What is disinfection?" ”

At this time, Han Hao and the others also rushed over, and Han Xuan asked, "Big brother, is there any wine in the dock fort?" Han Hao immediately ordered someone to fetch the wine, and Han Xuan said, "Put the knife on the fire first, and then put it in the wine." The doctor was surprised but did so, and asked, "Can you go under the knife now?" ”

Han Xuan nodded, thinking in his heart that he still had to quickly purify the high-grade wine, this ancient wine had a low alcohol content and was not good at disinfection. Han Hao was puzzled: "What does this disinfection mean?" I've never heard of it. And why do you care so much about these wounded soldiers? ”

Han Xuan said: "Most of these wounded soldiers have experienced life and death fights and have experience in killing the enemy. If they survive, they will definitely be more effective than the newly recruited recruits. There are not many soldiers who are expensive! ”

After hearing this, Han Hao and his generals couldn't help but look at Han Xuangao a little more, and Han Hao even stipulated that the treatment of wounded soldiers in the future must be "disinfected".

On the way back to Han's Mansion, Han Xuan said to Han Hao: "Big brother, don't you think it's a little strange this time? Song Shuang, how would they know that you led your troops out to attack other cottages, and as soon as you left with your front foot, they followed with your back foot. They knew that I, an eleven-year-old boy, had come to attack the fort, and had almost let them succeed by bypassing the fort and attacking the main fort. ”

Han Hao looked at Han Xuan and said, "You mean that someone in our family is colluding with the bandits. Could it be him? But why did he do this, he is also our Han family, what good is it for the bandits to capture our family's dock fort. ”

Han Xuan looked at Han Hao helplessly, and said in his heart You haven't watched the palace fight drama, and those people have made any conspiracy to fight for power. Han Xuan said: "There is no evidence yet, there is no way to take him." He's going to do it again, and we're going to have to prepare for it. ”

Han Hao nodded, and as soon as the two entered the mansion, Su Qiao'er came over and asked Han Xuandao, "Where have you been, I haven't seen you for a day, and you are suffocated at home." Han Xuan said, "Okay, of course I'm going to get down to business." I'm going to be training at Fort Dock for this time, so stay at home. ”

Han Xuan told Du Shi about his deeds of repelling the bandits, but Du Shi was still worried that he would be in danger and wanted him to come back. Han Xuan still insisted on going to Wubao, and Han Xuan had to train an elite army as soon as possible to deal with the Yellow Turban Rebellion that was about to break out.

Han Xuan even suggested that Han Hao move the Han family to the south, because the Yellow Turban Rebellion was about to break out, and the northern land was in flames, while Jingzhou and other places in the south were relatively stable. However, Han Hao didn't believe Han Xuan's prophecy, and Han Xuan went to persuade Du Shi again, but he didn't expect Du Shi to be unwilling to leave. Han Xuan finally gave up, after all, it was not easy for the Han family to move away.

Early the next morning, Han Xuan and Yang Xiong went out and were just about to get on the horse, when they happened to meet Han Guang coming back. Han Guang smiled: "Alas, Brother Xuan. Where are you going, my brother heard that you broke the bandits in Dock Fort yesterday, you are really heroic. Han Xuan sneered: "Brother's news is very well-informed, I still have important matters, so I will leave." ”

Han Xuan first went to a blacksmith shop in the county seat, and the owner of the blacksmith shop was a bearded uncle. Han Xuan asked, "Uncle, can you play stirrups here?" Uncle Beard knocked on the pig iron on the big iron pier, put down the hammer in his hand and said, "What is a stirrup?" But there is no iron in this world that I can't beat! ”

Han Xuan looked at Pu Song's firm eyes and said, "Don't brag." Pu Song snorted coldly and said proudly: "You go and inquire, the iron tools I made are first-class goods." ”

Han Xuan showed him the drawings he had drawn, and Pu Song was taken aback and asked, "I don't know what this thing is for?" It was the first time in the old man's life that he had seen this. Han Xuan was overjoyed, he didn't expect that there were no stirrups at this time, this was a big killer feature, and it was up to him to form a cavalry!

Han Xuan said again: "I can tell you what it's used for, and I also have a lot of things to fight that you haven't seen." As long as you can fight it, I am willing to spend a lot of money to hire you to make iron tools for my Han family, are you willing? ”

Pu Song asked, "Han family, who are you from the Han family?" Yang Xiong said: "This is the second son of the Han family. After hearing this, Pu Song arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be the second son of the Han family, I heard that the son broke the thief yesterday, and he is really a young hero." I Pu Song admires the heroes the most, I wanted to agree, but what should I do with these guys as soon as I leave? ”
