Pei Min actually said too much in the last sentence, mainly because he saw more 25-year-olds who admire foreigners and fascinated foreigners in the 20th century. Those 25-year-olds always felt that everything from foreigners was good, even the moon was rounder than that of China. As a young man with a little bit of anger, the one he disliked the most was the kind of Chinese who was humble to foreigners and slaves.

But he ignored the Tang Dynasty, the greatest dynasty in China. In this era, chemistry, art medicine, industrial technology and technology all stood at the top of the world, unparalleled. In contrast, the other great empires in the West, Arabia, except for the military ability to compare with the Tang Dynasty, were not at all at the level.

As Tang people, both officials and the people have a sense of superiority and regard themselves as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, while the countries in the world are the four barbarians. In this era, there is only the idea of ​​admiring the Tang Dynasty, and there is no worship of foreign countries at all.

As the chief of the prefecture and the leader of Lanzhou, Lu Yu would send someone to say something if he wanted to summon a few merchants. Now it is an extraordinary moment. He personally invited him, and in his opinion, he had given him enough face, so he would not lose his style of the heavenly kingdom.

But a while, Aviye, Savoy, and Yilidou, led by Lu Yu, came to the backyard specially vacated by the shopkeeper.

"I have met the Chief Censor!" Aviye, Savoy, and Yilidou spoke in poor Chinese language. They said this, and Lu Yu kept laughing and couldn't help laughing.

Pei Min also laughed at her. The word "女" was a big street in later generations. In fact, in ancient times, "女" could not be called randomly. In ancient times, the oral name of "女" was father and mother, and only when calling parents or direct blood relatives and respecting elders, can you use "女". Calling "女" is equivalent to recognizing his father.

After arguing with the cultural differences of the group and recognizing his father's "son", Pei Min asked them to sit down and talk, and poured them a cup of mint tea prepared by the shopkeeper for him.

"I am interested in your country's culture. If you have time, you can come to Chang'an and have a good chat!" Pei Min was not interested in the Indian Zhu where Yilidou was, but Aviye's food and Savoy's Fushui had a deep interest.

The Arab Empire is the only Western country in this world that can challenge the Tang Dynasty. The Fuqi is the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire. Although it is not as powerful as the Arab Empire, it is also an ancient country with a long history and uniqueness. It is necessary to contact them and understand some information about the West. As the saying goes, stand high and see far. The longer the vision is, the longer the road to success will be. Pei Min will not fall behind in this regard.

However, the situation does not allow him to talk about it in detail in this regard. He just mentioned it casually and immediately got to the point, saying: "Now that Jincheng is facing a crisis, I need to borrow your guards to help me meet the enemy and help me defend the city. I wonder if you are willing to give me generously? Help me Pei Min for this favor?"

"I do!" The first answer was Savoy, a merchant from Fuji Country. He obviously had the blood of a German barbarian, with golden eyes and fine white skin. He was just as fat as a pig, with a ball on his head and a ball on his body, and a face of a merchant. It is hard to imagine that such a fat person could survive the Silk Road of hundreds of thousands of miles.

Savoy narrowed her eyes and rubbed her fat big hands and said, "I, Savoy, are willing to help the Chief Secretary, and hand over all 200 fifteen guards to the Lord."

Pei Min couldn't imagine that Savoy agreed so readily and was overjoyed.

Aviye is an Arab of pure blood. He has all the characteristics of the appearance of the Arabs. His high nose bridge is slightly curved and a small eagle hook. His eyes are deep, his eyebrows are tall and straight, his cheeks are short, his tall and thin body, and his wheat-colored skin look very heroic. He looked at Savoy unexpectedly and said, "Mr. Zhongcheng, from Damascus, he brought his nests gold, silver, jewelry, crabapple, sea pomegranate, sea beads, spices, and bamboo cloth to exchange for your Tang Dynasty satin, embroidery, gold brocade, silk, tea, porcelain, and medicinal materials. On this road, there are more than ten thousand miles away. There are countless thieves and horses who can arrive safely, relying on protection. Without them, the nest will not be able to return to Damascus."

Pei Min smiled and said, "So, are you not going to help?"

Aweiye shook his hands and said, "It's not that you don't help, you just want some rewards, and you're worthy of your efforts. The guard is a merchant, and the merchant pays attention to interests. The escort of the escort is hired at a high price. If they go to the battlefield, they need to add a lot of commissions. The loss-making business cannot be done."

Pei Min said solemnly: "There is no other reward, only my friendship. If you do business in the Tang Dynasty, as long as you do not violate the laws of my Tang Dynasty and hurt my interests. When you have difficulties, you can ask me for help. I will never postpone my help. I will never be stingy with help to my friends."

Aweiye looked at Pei Min deeply and said, "Okay! The friendship of Lord Zhongcheng is priceless. Woahweiye is willing to hand over all the guards in exchange for the friendship of Lord."

Pei Min nodded and said, "Thank you!" As he said that, he looked at Yili Dou again.

Yili Douyi's face was embarrassed, and hesitated and said ashamed: "Sorry, I have less than a hundred guards. I have come from the west and there are countless thieves. If there is any loss, I may not be able to protect myself." His Chinese language is the most fluent, and the rejection is also the most eye-catching.

Pei Min squinted his eyes and knew the real reason: Tubo was the overlord in the southwest and had a good relationship with Nepal and Tianzhu. As a businessman in India, Yilidou was unwilling to help them offend Tubo. It was reasonable. He just watched the show and made money from the Tang Dynasty?

Pei Min said without hesitation: "Then you can leave!"

As he said that, he looked at Aviye, and Savoy and the others said, "No matter what the reason, you helped me today. When you return to Chang'an, there will be rewards. Now you gather your guards immediately and I will take them away immediately. And your horses will also lend them to me, and they will return them to you at night. Every time I lend me two, I will give you more."

Aviye and Savoy returned the gift without hesitation and retreated.

Aviye told his servant Tasim about his agreement with Pei Min.

What their master and servant spoke naturally in Arabic.

Tasim said with a bitter face: "Does the master trust Pei Min so much?"

Aweiye shook his head and said, "I don't trust him, I can't believe it. I don't understand his character and do not expect to get his friendship. I must not be his enemy. When I first showed my unwillingness, he not only did not get angry, but laughed. People who can laugh when they are angry must not offend us. We are merchants, and only in their territory can we make money. As long as we have money, mercenaries can get anything. We can't lose big interests for a little profit. Look, the merchant in India will definitely be retaliated." After a pause, his eyes flashed with surprise and said, "If you really get Pei Min's friendship, it's really good. Go and arrange it quickly and increase the commission for mercenaries and let them listen to Pei Min's arrangements."

Compared to Aviye's calmness and rationality, Savoy was much more exaggerated. When he returned to his room, he kept laughing, and the fat body was full of laughter and could not stop shaking.

"Father, what good thing did you give birth to?" Savoy's son Hakroyi looked at his father with a confused face.

Savoy said: "The great Jesus blessed his devout believers. The Lord, knowing the difficulties of his father, specially arranged his envoy to recruit the greedy mercenaries. He could save a lot of money for his father." It turned out that Savoy's life in the Byzantine Empire was not good. The rise of the Arabs occupied almost all the southern regions of Byzantine. The Byzantine Empire lost a lot of land, but its national strength did not weaken, but instead strengthened. Because the war made Byzantines tied into a rope and no longer so mixed. The system of their emperor Heracleon was successfully implemented, leaving the whole country to Hellenize. He defeated the Lombards, Slavs and Persians one after another.

The Hellenistic Byzantium was extremely xenophobic. Savoy was possessed of the blood of Germanic barbarians and was very excluded. Savoy was unwilling to return to his hometown in Germany, unwilling to give up the interests of the Silk Road, and yearned for the legendary tolerant Tang Dynasty. He specially came to the Tang Dynasty to gain a foothold, changed to the East, and did business with Byzantium. He did not intend to return to Byzantium. When he arrived at the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the accompanying guards were already a burden to him. The fewer ones were equal to less commissions. Therefore, he agreed to Pei Min's request without hesitation. He wanted the mercenaries in his hands to die cleanly.

Not very good, Aviye and Savoy's mercenary guards have gathered.

Pei Min saw that their formation was messy and unruly, but the brave and murderous aura on everyone was clearly visible. The dispersed temperament of this group that struggled on the brink of death was obviously different from that of ordinary people. In the Central Plains, mercenaries were not common, but in the Western Regions, in Arabia and Byzantines, mercenaries were very common. They relied on courage and lived on war. They had money, wine and women when they were alive, and when they died, they were rotten and loess, and they didn’t even have a place to bury.

There is no doubt that these mercenaries who fight on the brink of death are very strong, and each individual has the ability to fight alone.

Pei Min led 550 mercenaries back to the urn city at the south gate of Jincheng. Yang Yun had already ordered 800 cavalrymen. It was not that he could not find soldiers from good cavalry, but that he could not get a thousand war horses.

Pei Min combined the resources he had, and reduced the eight hundred cavalry to four hundred, and distributed the remaining four hundred horses to mercenaries without horses. The two mixed together formed the strongest cavalry combat power he currently has: a wealthy guard of 16, a wealthy cavalry of 400 Jincheng cavalry, 550 mercenaries, and a thousand two soldiers.

"Enough!"

Pei Min looked at the time, estimated the degree of the Tubo vanguard cavalry in his heart, and smiled at Yang Yun and said, "Three thousand Tubo vanguard cavalry, how dare you follow me to destroy them?"

Yang Yun was a little scared, but seeing that Pei Minnian was only young and had a far superior position to him, he was not afraid, and he had nothing to be afraid of, and said loudly: "Why not dare!"
