Han Xuan took Su Qiao'er to open the door of the Su family's house, only to see that it was empty. It seems that valuable things have long been moved away by Qian Rui and others. When I came to the inner hall, I saw that it was cluttered, obviously caused by someone turning over to find something. Han Xuan thought, could it be that these people are looking for the "Taigong Art of War"? After Su Lie's death, Luo Ping sent someone to the home of Su Zhong and his wife, and he thought that Su Lie might have passed the military book to his son Su Zhong? It seems that he will only know by catching Luo Ping and asking him personally.

Han Xuan ordered the servants to clean the entire house, set up a mourning hall, and put Su Lie Su Zhong's ranking on the table. Su Qiaoer wore linen and filial piety for them, and Han Xuan and Dong Ping also mourned for them, and everyone was already crying silently.

After that, Han Xuan took Dong Ping and Cao Xing to the city defense camp and summoned the sergeants to gather at the school grounds.

Han Xuan climbed the high platform and shouted, "Soldiers, I am Han Xuan, the new county lieutenant of this county. You may not have been out of town to fight here for a long time, and perhaps some of you are used to these comfortable days. But, from now on, I will lead you against the bandits. There is a Yamen village on the mountain not far from this county, I think you should all know that these bandits robbed the money and food of the old folks and bullied women, as soldiers of my big man, can you endure these rampant bandits? ”

There was only occasional echoing voices in the audience, and Han Xuan said again: "If your brothers and sisters are robbed by bandits, can you bear it?" Now the bandits of Yamenzhai have gathered thousands, thousands, brothers! Yes, there are less than a thousand people in this county, and I got the news that soon they will attack the county seat. You are the army of the Han Dynasty, and your weapons and equipment are a hundred times better than these bandits, so can you bear it if this group of thieves breaks through the county seat, rides on your head as a prestige, and robs your wives and daughters? ”

"I can't bear it, I can't bear it!" This agitation made the audience angry.

Han Xuan stretched out his hands and waved them towards the audience, signaling them to be quiet. At this time, a voice from the audience asked: "County Lieutenant Han, is it true that you said that the thieves of Yamen Village want to attack our county seat?" ”

Han Xuan replied with a serious face: "It's true." This official is willing to vouch for his official position! ”

I saw a man in leather armor coming out of the crowd and said to Han Xuan: "The villain's surname is Hou Mingyong, and he is currently serving as a team leader in the army. Subordinates are brave, please ask the county lieutenant to lead us to attack the thieves in Yamen Village! ”

Several people in the team led by Team Hou also echoed: "Yes, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to destroy them!" ”

So people kept raising their fists and saying, "Destroy them!" Destroy them! ”

The blood of the soldiers was stimulated, and Han Xuan pointed to Cao Xuan and Dong Ping and introduced, "These two are my guards, and they are proficient in marksmanship and archery. Now I will appoint them as your leaders and train you day and night. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime, and I hope that everyone can train themselves strictly. I will definitely lead you to break through the Yamen Village! ”

Cao Xuan was stunned when he heard this, how did Han Xuan know that his archery skills were good, but since Han Xuan had instructed him, he could only be the head of this sect.

Han Xuan ordered people to go to the armory to select excellent spears and bows and arrows, and Dong Ping led them to practice marksmanship on the school field every day, and Cao Xuan selected more than 300 soldiers with good eyesight to practice archery against wooden targets. Coupled with the guards of more than 300 people that Han Xuan brought back from Nanyang, it was originally 500 people who died fighting with water thieves on the road and fell into the water. As well as the cavalry of more than 100 people he brought, the troops he can use now are at least more than 1,300 people, and most of them are officers and soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not much higher than that of the bandits.

As soon as it gets dark, the county seat of Luoxian becomes extraordinarily quiet. Ever since Han Xuan became the county lieutenant of Luo County, he has strictly enforced the curfew and forbade pedestrians to walk on the streets. There was a sound of footsteps outside the small city walls of the county town, and the patrolling soldiers on the city walls could faintly see a large number of men and horses in the darkness. They shouted at each other, "Who are you?" What is the intention of coming to Luo County? ”

Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, the other party laughed and said: "Uncle Ben is Jin Biao, the second master of Yamen Village, and he wanted to sneak attack the county seat. I don't want to be discovered by you, so I have to give up. But don't be too happy, Uncle Ben advises you to open the city and surrender as soon as possible, and offer money and beauties, otherwise when I lead my brothers to break through the county seat, I will kill all the men in the city, and the women in the city are all our playthings, hahaha! ”

The next day, the entire Luo County was in a state of extreme panic. The county commanders Qian Rui and Zhao Mu hurriedly came to Han Xuan to discuss, Qian Rui was as timid as a mouse, and kept persuading Han Xuan to open the city and surrender. Han Xuan said that he had learned about the matter, but he just wanted to understand the opinions of the people.

Han Xuan took them and a group of officials to a high platform, and the people in the city ran over.

An uncle said to an aunt: "The thieves in this Yamen village are extremely fierce, and they took my good granddaughter into the mountain when she was only fourteen years old." ”

The aunt sighed and said, "But no, I also heard that the bandits, young and old, are all scourges of women." Poor old woman, I still have a good look, I don't want to cheapen these bandits......"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and everyone's faces were full of panic, anger, and fear.

Han Xuan waved his hand and shouted, "Fathers and fellow villagers, everyone be quiet. I am Han Xuan, the county lieutenant of this county, and everyone must know that the bandits are coming to attack the county seat. Let's listen to the county magistrate's opinion, and see if we are fighting or surrendering! ”

Han Xuan pushed Qian Rui forward, and Qian Rui walked to the front desk in a cold sweat. He looked at Zhao Mu, the county magistrate, who looked at him wildly, Qian Rui was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what Zhao Mu wanted to express.

Qian Rui cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, fathers." Now, the thieves of Yamenzhai are coming to attack my Luo County. The official ...... Although I want to resist ...... Thief, but there is ...... power Immortal. There are less than 1,000 soldiers in this county, and there are tens of thousands of thieves. And let it out, saying that on the day the city was broken, only women were left in the city. According to this official, it is better to ...... Open the city and surrender, give money and beauties, and save ......"

After hearing this, Zhao Mu stared at Qian Rui's eyes and opened his eyes, pig teammates! Zhao Mu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

I saw that before Qian Rui finished speaking, the angry people below threw vegetable leaves at him. A few young men spat and shouted: "Where did the thieves come from tens of thousands of people, it is obvious that you are afraid of the thieves." ”

A moldy girl with a big mole on her face clasped her nose and said, "This girl looks like a fairy, you actually want to give me to a thief." I'm going to send your wife to ......."

“……”

Qian Rui and Zhao Mu were so frightened that they hid behind Han Xuan with vegetable leaves on their faces, Han Xuan stepped forward and flexibly dodged a vegetable leaf, and smiled at the angry people: "Folks, please calm down." I, Han Xuan, wanted to lead the officers and soldiers to attack Yamen Village, but the county ordered the adults not to allow it. Now the thieves in Yamen Village are committing crimes against my Luo County and robbing the people, and the wolf's ambition is clearly revealed. Please rest assured, my fathers and fellow villagers, I, Han Xuan, have fought for this official position and my life, and I will lead my soldiers to resist the attack of the thieves! ”

When the people heard Han Xuan say this, they were immediately full of good feelings towards him, but they were disappointed with Qian Rui's county order.

A few young men said: "Captain Han, there is still a shortage of soldiers in your army, and we are willing to join the army to fight the enemy with you!" ”

Han Xuan was overjoyed and said, "Okay! Everyone who has money contributes, and those who don't have money contribute. As long as we are united, we will definitely defeat the bandits! ”

After Han Xuan finished speaking, he asked Dong Ping to take out a few large boxes, and then took out a big bag of copper coins and put them in the boxes in front of everyone, and said, "Folks, this is a donation box." I, Han Xuan, took the lead in taking out this month's Yulu donation for anti-thief purposes, and we each donated a little, and the amount will be very large. Rest assured, every copper coin here will be used to improve the weapons and equipment of the soldiers! ”
