Out of the attic.

Xu Han only remembered that his little wife was still waiting in the room, so why did he waste time here.

He straightened his clothes and went back to the bedroom.

"Madame, I've kept you waiting."

Xu Han pushed the door in, and a warm breeze rushed in.

Outside the door, it was late winter and early spring, and the night was cold, but the house was blazing with fire, and the warmth was warm.

The sandalwood in the ding, the fragrance in the house is overflowing, and the atmosphere of this spring warm flower fragrance suddenly swept away the previous unhappiness and lifted Xu Han's spirit.

When the door was closed, Xu Han suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water, which was coming from the inner room.

Xu Han was curious, slowly walked into the inner room, and when he turned the carved screen, he couldn't help but gasp, and a pair of eyes suddenly opened.

The room was filled with moisture, and a shadow was shaking from the fog.

Through the hazy mist, I saw Song Xinfu lying in the big wooden basin, enjoying the comfort of bathing.

It seemed that because of the sound of the water, she didn't hear Xu Han coming in, and she was still scrubbing her body with her back to him, and she was humming an unknown song in her mouth.

Song Xinfu seemed to have finished bathing, and with a "bang", she stood up from the bathtub.

She didn't know that Xu Han was beside her, and stood up from the water calmly, and the bath water brought up by her slender body slid through the pink and white neck, and fell into the bathtub in a dripping manner.

After Song Xinfu wiped her body clean, she wrapped a thin gauze coat, under the fumigation of the mist, the thin clothes were translucent, how could she cover the skin like snow.

The grace under the tulle loomed, and it was even more unscrupulous to provoke Xu Han.

When he saw this, Xu Han couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward a few steps, and hugged Song Xinfu from behind.

Song Xinfu was startled, instinctively wanting to struggle, but when she saw that it was Xu Han, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her face couldn't help but flush.

"Husband, when did you come in, why didn't you make a sound?" She grumbled delicately.

"I came in a long time ago, and when I saw that Madame was bathing herself, I couldn't bear to disturb Madame's Yaxing."

Xu Han smiled, and as he spoke, his hands were restlessly roaming over her.

Song Xinfu was shocked again, and said embarrassedly: "The ugly state of the concubine's body, don't you show it to your husband, it's really ashamed and ashamed." ”

In just a moment, her wet face was flushed.

Xu Han kissed her and said: "You are my wife, what is there to be ashamed of, besides, the appearance of your wife, a beautiful woman out of the bath, it is really beautiful." ”

Song Xinfu praised him for his sweet words, he was ashamed and happy, pursed his lips and smiled silently.

Xu Han hugged her into the bed, and asked with a smile: "Madame doesn't bathe in the morning or night, but why did she choose to bathe today?" ”

He asked knowingly and deliberately teased her.

Song Xinfu looked shy, didn't dare to look at him, and only said in a low voice: "The concubine thinks about her husband's hard work, so she wants to wash herself and ...... well."

The latter words, she wanted to speak and stopped, and it seemed difficult to speak.

"Okay what?" Xu Han just asked.

"Okay...... Serving the husband ......"

Song Xinfu twisted for a long time, and embarrassedly squeezed out four words between her teeth.

On top of the ordinary hall, the wife with a dignified and generous demeanor, but she didn't want to be able to say such words, Xu Han's heart was moved, and he secretly thought that he had really married a good wife who was out of the hall and into the bedroom.

At this time, Song Xinfu's tender neck was slightly upturned, her face was flushed like fire, and her panting sound gradually rose, and every wisp was full of attractive breath.

In the face of such an attractive spring color as his wife, Xu Hanyan can be self-contained.

The moonlight shone through the crack in the window, and the tiny dots of light drenched on the couple who hugged each other tightly.

Deeper nights.

……

After a while, the love between husband and wife is further enhanced.

Xu Han did not indulge in his children's private affairs, and after a little pleasure, his spirit quickly focused on his great cause.

In the battle of Shencheng, thousands of enemies were captured, and coupled with Lin Ao's submission, Xu Han suddenly had nearly 5,000 more troops in his hands.

These 5,000 soldiers are different from the recruits he recruited in Qianyang, these soldiers are veterans who have been tested by war for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is actually not inferior to Xu Han's subordinate soldiers and horses, only because the prince is incompetent, he was reduced to a surrendered army.

Xu Han then selected his elite, eliminated his wounded and weak, and selected more than 3,000 young and strong elites from them to be incorporated into his army, and the rest were released, so as to use their mouths to promote Xu Han's prestige.

So far, the number of troops under Xu Han's command has reached nearly 20,000.

In terms of infantry troops, Xu Han had built an infantry army of about 15,000 people, of which 5,000 were led by Tang Mo and stationed in Shencheng to guard against Li Zhenwei in the north.

Chaoyang's Jiang Zheng and Zhou Liang's troops also had 5,000 soldiers, which became a barrier to the south of Qianyang, defending Xu Han against the threat of Han Zhaofu.

The Qianyang base camp is garrisoned with 5,000 soldiers, Xu Han needs an absolutely loyal army in his hands, these 5,000 infantry troops are his most elite subordinate army, and they are the core combat power that Xu Han can trust.

In terms of the light cavalry of the Shenxing Cavalry, the number of cavalry soared to nearly three thousand because of the addition of Lin Ao's cavalry.

Considering that Lin Ao was the best at cavalry combat, Xu Han used his strengths to order him to command the Shenxing Cavalry as an important mobile force.

In terms of Tiefutu, because of the newly captured hundreds of armor, Xu Han was able to expand this heavy cavalry to about 1,000 people.

Xu Han originally wanted to expand more Tiefutu, but the heavy cavalry is a money-burning class, with the strong strength of the country, the heavy cavalry under his command is only about 2,000 horses, if it weren't for Xu Han's capture of a fortune from Kaifeng, with his current strength, he can't afford to raise a thousand heavy cavalry at all.

And this Iron Floating Slaughter, which was built with a thousand gold, will be Xu Han's deadliest weapon with its powerful attack ability.

With such a sharp weapon, in the current situation, Xu Han naturally had to firmly grasp it in his own hands, so he incorporated Tiefutu into his own pro-military camp.

Xu Han's pro-military camp was originally led by Cheng Ping, called the Tiger Guard Battalion, which was mainly composed of 1,000 foot soldiers, most of these foot soldiers came from when Xu Han raised the army, the original team of soldiers and horses, not to mention bravery, was also 100% loyal to him.

Cheng Ping is loyal and brave, and he is very good at foot combat, of course Xu Han is relieved to let him command the Tiger Guard Battalion.

It's just that at the moment, a new Tiefutu has been added to the pro-army, and Cheng Ping is not good at cavalry, so if he is in command of Tiefutu, he will not be able to exert the maximum energy of this iron cavalry.

For Xu Han, it became an imminent matter for another excellent horseman to command Tiefutu.

After thinking about it, Xu Han suddenly thought of a suitable candidate.

In the afternoon of this day, Xu Han, under the escort of Cheng Ping, took Liu Xu to Qianyang Prison.

After entering the prison, Xu Han came to the outside of a cell, looked in through the prison window, and saw that the rough man like a bull was gnawing on a leg of mutton like a wolf and a tiger.

The man with a full beard and a slight yellowing of his hair was none other than Hu Jiang.

Hu Jiang's strength is beyond ordinary people, and with this strange power, his martial arts strength is enough to match Jiang Zheng's level.

Although Hu Jiang's cavalry combat ability is not first-class, looking at the generals under Xu Han's command, except for Lin Ao, I am afraid that no one can match it.

A light cavalry like the Divine Rider requires a long-distance run or a roundabout flank attack, which requires a very high response ability for the main general.

Tiefutu is different, there is no need for too much trickery, as long as you hear the order, a tendon rushes forward.

From this point of view, Hu Jiang is such a brave and powerful barbarian, and the heavy cavalry like Tiefutu is simply tailor-made for him.

Xu Han took a fancy to this, so he planned to reuse the "freak" in front of him.

Hu Jiang, who was gnawing in the prison, heard a sound outside the prison and suddenly looked up, but saw a group of people watching him.

Hu Jiang was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled a few times, and he suddenly recognized Xu Han.

Immediately afterwards, when he saw Liu Xu talking and laughing with Xu Han, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Mr. Liu, why are you talking and laughing with that guy, what the hell is going on?" Hu Jiang rushed to the cell window and shouted.

Liu Xu glared at him and scolded: "You barbarian, how dare you speak disrespectfully, why don't you meet General Xu soon." ”

Hu Jiang was confused now, his eyes widened, and he was confused for a long time before he figured out what Liu Xu's words meant.

Liu Xu has already surrendered to Xu Han, this is to persuade himself to surrender.

"Mr. Liu, didn't you say that you took me to Jinzhou to join the King of Nangong, why did you submit to him again?"

Hu Jiang is also a rectum, and without thinking about it, he shook out Liu Xu's original plan in front of everyone.

Liu Xu was suddenly embarrassed, his eyes were anxious to glare at Hu Jiang, blowing his beard and shouting: "What are you defecting to King Nangong, where did you come from with so much nonsense, it is your blessing to let you submit to him, don't you see him soon." ”

Hu Jiang taught Liu Xu such a lesson, although he was still confused in his heart, he only muttered a few words sullenly, and bowed to Xu Han.

"The last general Hu Jiang visited General Xu, and the last general is willing to work for the general, and hopes that the general will take him in."

Hu Jiang's sentence of "selling his life" was explicit and straightforward, and Xu Han couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

He called for the cell door to be opened, stretched out his hand to help Hu Jiang up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "What a straightforward man, I just like a brute like you, and I will use you as the commander of my pro-army, are you willing?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Hu Jiang couldn't help but be surprised, he never expected Xu Han to use him so really.

Under the surprise, Hu Jiang couldn't help but show gratitude, and said angrily: "Thank you for the general's promotion, I don't have any ability, I have a body of brute strength, if the general uses me as a pro-army, I will protect the general even if I die." ”

Hu Jiang has a straightforward temperament, and everything on his mind is written on his face.

When he said this, Xu Han kept observing his eyes, and from that sincere look, Xu Han was sure that what he said was from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Han was overjoyed to hear this, and immediately ordered Hu Jiang to be released from prison.
