Chapter 34: The Death of Ma Shi

Goshidai!

Pei Min looked at Yasheng Wu Qi's "Wu Zi" with great interest, the sages' art of war is profound and difficult to understand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pei Min had read "The Art of War", "Wu Zi", "Wei Xuanzi" and other military masterpieces several times before, and he could understand the literal meaning, but he didn't understand the deep meaning.

As Xue Neyan taught him by example and taught him the experience of leading troops, he was gradually able to comprehend the meaning of words and words.

In the Battle of Jincheng not long ago, Pei Min came to the battlefield for the first time.

Tubo is not good at attacking cities, but for the wealth of Jincheng, they have to choose to attack cities. Their move is giving Pei Min a chance to practice.

After a hard fight, it is certainly tired. But Pei Min's own benefits are indeed great, and when he is new to battle, he has a hundred battles like Qili Xu to give him experience. The experience gained after the war is not something that can be taught and learned by Xue Ne or in the war book.

With the knowledge learned in this battle, combined with the content of the war book, you will have new insights.

This practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and this is not at all true.

Pei Min brought all the military books he had collected to the Yushitai, planning to read them again.

I really don't blame him for dereliction of duty, it's just too boring.

There are not many things in the Imperial Historical Observatory, especially after a series of major cases, the name of the Imperial Historical Observatory has been completely out.

The opposite side dared to pull eleven fourth-grade and above senior members down from the imperial history platform in one breath. Which of the civil and military officials is afraid of three points, and then against Li Longji, who is angry and rectifies the central general, no one dares to make a mistake at this time.

Now it's like during the crackdown, the officials at the top and bottom are honest and obedient like cats.

The officials don't commit crimes, the Yushitai has nothing to do, Pei Min has no choice but to read books to kill time in public and private affairs: this is most of the day.

It wasn't until the moment of Shen Shi that Pei Min stretched his waist heavily, informed him, and walked out of the Yushi Terrace.

It's not time to get off work yet, but there is something today, he wants to go to the West Market to investigate, so he left early.

Chang'an West City is as lively as ever, the streets are full of traders and pedestrians, people come and go very crowded, and yellow-haired and blue-eyed people can be seen everywhere.

Pei Min went straight to Ma Shi: These days, Wang Zhonghei followed him to practice the art of war and martial arts, and he was very hard.

To reward him, Pei Min decided to give him a foal and give him equestrian practice. A truly good rider requires a long period of training and training. It is extremely difficult to learn riding skills the day after tomorrow. Unless he is like Pei Min, he has a good martial arts foundation since he was a child, and his foundation is stable. Otherwise, even if you learn a riding skill, when you really go into battle to sprint or run long distances, the advantages and disadvantages of the rider will be clearly reflected. The reason why the nomadic cavalry is powerful is precisely because of their unique living environment.

The people don't have that condition, so naturally they can't be blamed, but now that Pei Min has this condition, how can there be any reason to ignore it.

Walking along the long street, Pei Min found that most of the horses parked outside the family were adult horses, and there were very few juvenile foals. He only knew a little bit about the art of Soma, or when he was going to take the martial arts test, Xue Ne temporarily taught him. It is effective for mature horses, but the foals that have not yet formed are not among them.

In a moment of melancholy, suddenly the figure of an acquaintance appeared in the afterglow.

"Avier!"

Pei Min shouted and walked up, and the other party was Aviye, a businessman who was suffering in Jincheng together. If it weren't for the escort of the two merchants, Avier and Savoy, even if the Golden City were to be defended, it would have to pay a great price. For their help, Pei Min is very grateful.

When he said goodbye to Kendrick again, Pei Min specially asked Kendrick to thank him and give him his address, so that Avier could find him if he had something to do, and he could have tea and chat with him if he had nothing to do.

It's just that more than a month has passed, and there is no news from Avier and Savoy, Pei Min thought that they had done business and returned to their respective countries, but he didn't expect to meet in this horse market.

"Lord Zhongcheng!" Seeing that it was Pei Min, Aviye hurriedly came up to salute and say hello.

Pei Min smiled: "You haven't returned to China yet?" ”

Aviye said respectfully: "Go back to your lordship, you have to stay for a few days." This year's Chang'an is more prosperous than when I came five years ago, and there are more good goods. I need to plan well, sell the horses that the adults have given us, buy more camels, and bring back some goods. After this trip, maybe it won't come back for ten years. "Five years ago, in the Tang Dynasty, it was the most serious time when the Wei family and Princess An Le caused the Tang Dynasty, buying and selling officials were rampant, and the political situation was extremely unstable. Corruption is rampant in Chang'an, and the situation at that time is naturally not comparable to this time.

At this time, an ugly fat man with a big belly walked out of the store, he was like a round ball, his whole body was full of fat, not tall, more than five feet, but the horizontal meat of that body was at least three hundred catties away, and the fat one didn't even have a neck, his eyes narrowed into a slit, he squeezed out a smile and said: "Contemptible Gong profit, I have seen Pei Zhongcheng, Zhongcheng came to the small shop, the small shop is bright and the small shop is bright......"

Looking at the harmless big fat man, Pei Min nodded, remembered his intentions, and said, "Do you have a foal for sale in the store?" I want a West Pony foal, at least a good breed, and the price is not an issue. ”

This horse has the difference between the North and the West, both of which are literal. West horses generally refer to horses from the west, and northern horses naturally belong to horses from the north.

Because of the use of the environment, the characteristics of the West Horse and the North Horse are very different, the North Horse is short but endurance and is good at riding and shooting, while the West Horse is tall and strong, with strong explosive power, suitable for charging into battle. Based on Wang Zhonghe's performance in history, West Malaysia is the most suitable for him.

Gong Yingying said: "Coincidentally, there is really a foal in the hands of the contemptible people, the price, it may be more expensive." But the contemptible can guarantee that it will definitely make Zhongcheng worth the money. ”

"Good! Go get it and show it to me! Pei Min has made great contributions, won a lot of rewards, the benefits of Tang Dynasty officials are second only to the Song Dynasty, and they also belong to the level of high salaries and incorruptibles, and now his monthly salary is nearly 300,000 yuan in later generations, and the funds in the house are still very abundant.

Seeing that Gong Yingying went to handle the matter in person, Aviye said softly: "Gong Dong's family is very kind in business, and most of the horses in the store are good horses, but they are a little wrong. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Pei Min, but was full of respect. Although Pei Min borrowed him to the battlefield with a bit of domineering, the reward that should have been given afterwards was not pulled down at all, and he was an honest gentleman.

The term chivalry is not yet popular in the West, but with the collapse of the Roman Empire, Western barbarians rose up, and they entered the Roman and Arab empires and merged with them. These barbarians brought bravery, tribal loyalty, and gradually formed an atmosphere similar to chivalry, which is the origin of chivalry.

Aviye was infected with some infections, and after arriving in Chang'an, he specially learned about Pei Min's deeds.

For Pei Min, who has done many big things at a young age, Aviye has a little respect, and when he saw that Gong Ying had the heart to tie up Pei Min, he specially reminded him.

"What do you mean by that?" Pei Min asked curiously.

Aviye said: "I also heard that Gong Dongjia has a close relationship with the horse thieves in the West, and most of the horses sold are stolen from Tibet, the Western Regions, and Turgish. ”

Pei Min listened thoughtfully, as long as he didn't steal from their Datang, everything had nothing to do with him. He didn't have time to take care of the affairs of other countries, but as Aviye said, this Gong had a lot of good horse resources in his hands. He originally had the intention of forming an elite army similar to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Xuanjia Army, and the Beiwei Army, and excellent war horses were indispensable.

Gong Ying led a red foal over, the foal was blood-red, extremely conspicuous, and there was no stray hair on his body, but the four hooves were like snow, and there was no doubt that he was indeed a good horse from the color of his coat.

Gong Yingying said: "This is a horse breed of Tianshan sweat and blood, and it will be a rare good horse when it becomes an adult, and the price will be doubled." If it weren't for Pei Zhongcheng's need, the contemptible would never take it out. ”

Pei Min said: "Gong Dongjia's kindness has been recorded, Min loves BMW horses, and if the owner has a first-class horse in the future, he can send it to my house." As long as it is in my eyes, I will give you a good price. ”

Gong was overjoyed, as Avier said, the goods in his hands were not coming from the right source, but they were all of the best quality. A good horse is hard to buy, expensive, and not something ordinary people can afford. He is not bad for goods, only buyers, and the more buyers, the more prosperous his business will be.

Pei Min invited Aviye to his mansion as a guest, but Aviye was very gracious and said, "Call Kendrick together?" He was at the blacksmith shop not far away, and said he was going to get a knife, but why didn't he come. ”

Pei Min was already enthusiastic and hospitable, not to mention the alien friends who had helped him, so he naturally did not hesitate: "Let's go and see together, don't let anything happen." ”

The knife and gun depot was on the opposite street of the horse market, and Avier led the way and came to a blacksmith shop, but he saw the blacksmith shop sitting in a circle, weapons and iron mines, everywhere, five or six blacksmiths were cleaning up everything.

"This is it!" Avier looked at the situation in the blacksmith's shop, but he didn't see Kendrick's people, and he had a bad premonition.

Pei Min stepped forward and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?" ”

The blacksmith master said with a gloomy face: "Don't mention it, a Hu man brought a good knife to me a few days ago to repair Kaifeng, and made an appointment to come and get it today." But he didn't want Wu Ye to also take a fancy to the knife, and wanted to buy it, so he fought with the Hu man without saying a word. Both of them are powerful, and no one can help anyone, but they hurt my small shop and smashed my small shop. The Hu man's knife money hasn't been paid yet, and in order to repair the gap in the knife, it took me a lot of effort and a big loss. ”

Pei Min hurriedly asked where they were now.

The blacksmith master said: "I have taken the officers and soldiers away, and I don't look at what place this is, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can they be allowed to run rampant." ”

Aviye came up at this time and said: "That Hu man is my friend, and I paid for him half of the money for repairing the knife and the loss of the owner." ”

Pei Min glanced at Aviye unexpectedly, had a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you don't cause any trouble, I will deal with this matter!" ”
