Pei Min took nearly 10,000 cattle and sheep to the outside of Guangen Town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He did not rush into the town, but came to the eight hundred herdsmen who came with them, and said to them: "This is Guangen Town, which is the territory of my Datang!" So...... Welcome home! ”

Welcome home!

For every person he rescued from Tibet, he would give them these four words warmly and sincerely.

"Maybe some of you are not my Datang people, but it doesn't matter. If you are willing and willing to live and work in Datang, I don't mind treating you as compatriots and treating you equally. The meat that your horses bring will surely be kept. Later, I will arrange for soldiers to send you to Taozhou, and someone will pick you up there. You can choose to go home or settle in Taozhou. As long as I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, we will send you back to our home for free. ”

He paused and said: "As for some people who are not my Tang Dynasty and are unwilling to stay, we are not reluctant, and it is also a kind of fate to be able to rescue you from the sea of suffering." I won't embarrass you, but if you want to go back, you have to rely on yourself. I will also show you the way, Taozhou is now in ruins, and there are many places where there is a shortage of manpower. You can find a job first, earn enough money for the journey, and then choose to leave. ”

After listening to Pei Min's words, those people of the Tang Dynasty suddenly felt honored one by one, even after suffering for many years, they were still proud of being the people of the Tang Dynasty.

As for some of the prisoners of war from Turkic, Nanzhao and other countries, they all showed envious looks.

Pei Min instructed Guo Wenbin to lead 300 cavalry to send the 800 rescued herdsmen back to Taozhou.

Guo Wenbin took the order and left.

Pei Min smiled: "Go and come back quickly, come back early to eat meat!" We're going to have dinner tonight and have a little celebration feast. That's right! He suddenly thought of Gu Xin and Zhang Jiuling, and threw the two cow thighs and four whole sheep on Xiao Limao's back to Guo Wenbin and said: "Take it back, let Gu Xin distribute it, and give it to officials at all levels to taste!" We eat meat in large chunks here, and we can't let them not even drink the soup. ”

Guo Wenbin smiled and promised.

When Pei Min entered Guangen Town with rich cattle and sheep, the whole town of Guangen burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Especially when he heard that Pei Min was going to hold a bonfire party at night and invite all the soldiers to eat beef and mutton, the cheers were even more excited, and they all shouted "Long live" excitedly.

The word "long live" was only banned in the Song Dynasty and was only allowed to be used by the emperor. Before the Song Dynasty, long live was still a eulogy of praise.

Even if it's not taboo, Pei Min doesn't like this title, he said very seriously: "I prefer you to call me Pei Shuai and mighty than long live!" ”

That night, outside the whole town of Guang'en, it was green!

It was a hot summer, and the meat could not be stored for a long time, except for some cured meats and smoked meats that were salted and smoked, everything else was intended to be consumed immediately.

More than 500 cauldrons, boiling beef and mutton, more than 300 fires, roasting whole lamb and beef legs.

The fragrance of beef and mutton can be said to be overflowing, permeating the entire Guangen Town, so that the wind blows and the taste spreads in all directions.

The hungry wolves on the grassland have such a keen sense of smell, and they all gather outside Guangen Town.

Pei Min was going to have a big bone with the soldiers, but when he heard the news, he instantly came to his senses and said with a smile: "It seems that we have to add dinner in the evening!" Get an extra piece of wolf meat, which of you is good at archery and can ride and shoot? Come back with me out hunting a few wolves! ”

More than 200 people responded immediately, Pei Min whistled, and more than 200 rode out of the county gate.

The steppenwolf is fierce and cunning, and never fights against opponents who are incapacitated.

Seeing Pei Min and his party coming violently, they had not yet reached the near place, and they were already preparing to retreat.

Pei Min immediately took out the hard bow hanging from his waist, pulled it into a full moon, and shot the arrow, aiming almost at intervals, and shooting three arrows in a row.

Pei Min's archery technique originated from Xue Ne, and it was used as a peerless magic arrow inherited from Xue Rengui. These three arrows are shot, and the arrows are so fierce that they are castrated, but they also have the feeling that the three arrows will set the Tianshan Mountain.

The three wolves nailed him to the grass without exception.

The wolves let him shoot three arrows and fled in all directions.

The others also showed off their archery skills, and the arrows were shot at the fleeing wolves one by one.

Screams rang out one after another.

In just half an hour, Pei Min returned to Guangen Town with more than forty steppe wolves and asked the chef to add food to them.

The border environment is harsh, and the soldiers guarding here can't eat much fresh vegetables, let alone big fish and meat.

Now the beef and mutton are full, this good thing of pie in the sky, who is not impressed.

Except for the soldiers who were fortunate enough to be on duty, almost all the soldiers joined in, gathered together, and enjoyed the delicious food.

The high-spirited soldiers spontaneously sang and danced, around the fire, and happily performed a variety of festive programs.

The most popular show in the military is sumo.

Sumo wrestling is an ancient fighting sport, which existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the names are different in different countries. After the Qin unification of the Six Kingdoms, a series of work such as "cars on the same track, books on the same text" were carried out, and the name of sumo was also unified as "Jiaodu", which became a means of military training during the Qin and Han dynasties, as well as festivals and performances in the court. Sumo wrestling is a new name that only existed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

The Tang Dynasty stressed martial arts, the practice of martial arts was unremitting, sumo wrestling in the history of the Tang Dynasty was very famous, every Lantern Festival and July 15 in the middle of the Yuan Festival are held sumo wrestling competitions, not only many emperors love to watch, some are also wrestling experts, such as the current emperor Li Longji and the Tang Dynasty's most outstanding emperor Li Shimin.

Compared with the sumo wrestling in Japan on TV, the sumo wrestling in the Tang Dynasty is really exciting and intense.

Two strong men fight together naked, there is no circle, there is no limit, there is only skill and tenacious struggle, until one party falls and can't get up to admit defeat, which makes people's blood boil and hormones rise.

Especially a warrior with a small physique on the field, who used his skill to knock a strong man to the ground, that kind of visual effect caused a burst of screams.

"Good hero, I'll compare with you!"

The aggressive Kendrick couldn't sit still below, and took his sword and shield to the field himself, and said with a smile: "You go and get the weapon!" "He's from the Byzantine Empire, so he doesn't know the rules of sumo, he just thinks it's the same as he usually plays.

The sumo warrior was dumbfounded, how can this sumo wrestle be useful?

Pei Min said in a loud voice: "Lieutenant Kendrick, I still remember our three-year appointment back then. ”

Kendrick was stunned when he heard it, and remembered that there was indeed such a thing, when he looked down on the warriors of the Tang Dynasty, he also let Pei Min teach him a lesson.

Pei Min walked up to Li Siye's side and whispered to him.

Li Siye looked at Kendrick, nodded to Pei Min, took a bite of a large piece of beef, found his own Mo knife, and responded: "Sumo, you don't need weapons." Competition, I'll be your opponent! ”
