Chapter 7 A Small Celebration Dinner

Pei Min brought nearly 10,000 cattle and sheep outside Guangen Town.

He did not rush into the town, but came to the eight hundred muslims who came with them and said to them: "This is Guangen Town, the territory of my Tang Dynasty! So... welcome home!"

Welcome home!

He would give these four words to every citizen he rescued from Tubo.

"Maybe some of you are not the people of my Tang Dynasty, but it doesn't matter. They are all people who fall into the world. If you are willing and willing to live and work in the Tang Dynasty, I don't mind treating you as compatriots and treating you equally. The meat brought by your horse will definitely be left behind. I will arrange soldiers to send you to Taozhou later, and someone will pick you up there. You can choose to go home or settle in Taozhou. As long as you are my Tang Dynasty people, we will send you back to your home free of charge."

He paused and said, "As for some people who are not my Tang people and do not want to stay, we will not force you. It is also a fate to save you from the sea of ​​suffering. We will not make things difficult for you, but if you want to go back, you can only rely on yourself. We will also show you a way. Taozhou is now in a mess and there are many places where there are lack of staff. You can find a job first, earn enough travel expenses, and then choose to leave."

After hearing Pei Min's words, the people of the Tang Dynasty suddenly felt very honored. Even after suffering for many years, they could still be proud of being the people of the Tang Dynasty.

As for some Turks, prisoners of war from Nanzhao and other countries all showed envy.

Pei Min instructed Guo Wenbin to lead 300 cavalrymen to send the 800 rescued Mu Nu back to Taozhou.

Guo Wenbin took the order and left.

Pei Min smiled and said, "Go and go back quickly, come back soon to eat meat! We will start eating tonight and hold a small celebration banquet. By the way!" He suddenly thought of Gu Xin, Zhang Jiuling and others, and threw the two cow thighs on Xiaoli Mao's back and four sheep to Guo Wenbin and said, "Take it back and let Gu Xin distribute it to officials at all levels to try it out! We eat large pieces of meat here, so they can't even drink soup."

Guo Wenbin smiled and agreed.

When Pei Min brought the rich cattle and sheep into Guangen Town, warm cheers burst out from all over Guangen Town.

Especially when he heard 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 he was so excited that he shouted "Long live".

The word "Long Live" was only defined as a forbidden word in the Song Dynasty and was only allowed to be used against the emperor. Before the Song Dynasty, Long Live was still a praising praise for appearance.

Even if it is not a taboo, Pei Min doesn't like this title. He said seriously: "I prefer you call me Pei Shuai more powerful than long live!"

That night, the entire outside of Guangen Town was green!

It is the hot summer, and the meat cannot last long. Except for some cured meat and smoked meat that are marinated with salt, everything else is planned to be consumed immediately.

More than 500 large pots were cooked with beef and mutton, more than 300 fires were roasted with whole sheep beef legs.

The aroma of beef and mutton was filled with fragrance, spreading throughout Guangen Town, making the scent of the wind spread to all directions.

The hungry wolf on the grassland has such a sensitive sense of smell, and all the people gathered outside Guangen Town.

Pei Min originally planned to have a big bone with the soldiers. When he heard the news, he felt instantly excited and said with a smile: "It seems that we will have a meal tonight! I will give you an extra serving of wolf meat. Which of you can do is better to ride and shoot? Go out with me to hunt a few wolf people back!"

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

The grassland wolf is fierce and cunning, and never fights against an opponent who is unable to compete with him.

Seeing Pei Min and his group coming in a fierce manner, they were ready to retreat before they reached the nearest place.

Pei Min immediately took out the hard bow hanging from his waist, pulled it into a full moon, and shot it with an arrow, aiming at it at almost no intervals, and shot three arrows in one breath.

Pei Min's archery technique originated from Xue Na, and was used as the unparalleled magic arrows inherited from Xue Rengui. The arrows were shot out so fiercely, but it also felt like three arrows were decisive to the Tianshan Mountains.

The three evil wolves made him nail to the grass without exception.

The wolf pack asked him to shoot three arrows and fled in all directions.

Others also showed their archery skills, and the arrow feathers shot towards the escaped wolf pack one by one.

The wailing sounds came one after another.

In just half an hour, Pei Min returned to Guangen Town with more than 40 grassland wolves and asked the chef to add extra meals to them.

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

Nowadays, beef and mutton are full, and no one is moved by the good thing about pies falling from the sky.

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

The enthusiastic soldiers sang and danced spontaneously, happily performing various festive programs around the fire.

The most popular program in the army is sumo wrestling.

Sumo wrestling is an ancient battle project, which was found in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the names of different countries were different. After the Qin unified the six countries, it carried out a series of work such as "cars and books and texts", and also unified the name of sumo wrestling as "Jiaoda". During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Kouda became a military training method, and it was also a festival and court performance project. Sumo wrestling was a new name that only existed during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The Tang Dynasty talked about martial arts and practiced martial arts unremittingly. Sumo wrestling was very famous in the history of the Tang Dynasty. Sumo wrestling competitions were held every Lantern Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival on July 15th. Not only many emperors like to watch, but some were also wrestling experts, such as the current emperor Li Longji and the most outstanding emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin.

Compared with the Japanese sumo wrestling on TV, the sumo wrestling of the Tang Dynasty is truly exciting and intense.

The two strong men fought hard together with each other, without circles or restrictions, only skills and tenacious struggles. It was not until one side fell so hard that it could not get up and admit defeat. It made people excited and their hormones rose.

Especially a smaller warrior on the field, he used his skill to overturn a strong man on the ground. The visual effect caused a burst of screams.

"What a hero, I'll compete with you!"

The aggressive Kendrick couldn't sit still below, and took his sword and shield and went on stage in person, laughing and said, "Go and get weapons!" He was a member of the Byzantine Empire, and he didn't know the rules of sumo wrestling, and he only thought it was no different from his usual practice.

The sumo wrestler was stunned. How could he use weapons to play sumo wrestling?

Pei Min whispered: "Deputy Captain Kendrick, I still remember our three-year agreement back then."

Kendrick was stunned when he remembered that there was indeed such a thing. He looked down on the warriors of the Tang Dynasty and even taught Pei Min a lesson.

Pei Min walked to Li Siye and whispered to him.
