Chapter 12 Challenge
Pei Min's words made Yang Yun exclaim.
"What's wrong?" Pei Min looked at Yang Yun lightly and said, "I feel cruel? They came here and met the common businessmen on the way. Have they ever been lenient? Have they ever been reluctant to do so? They must not show any mercy to deal with them. They must know the price of offending me, and they must know the price of offending me. Only in this way will they be afraid of you next time when you have evil thoughts. If it weren't for the summer now, I wouldn't even bother to burn it."
In summer, the corpses rot rapidly, which easily breeds a large number of bacteria, which leads to the plague.
This Qilihe County was also the territory of their Tang Dynasty. Pei Min didn't want to cause plague, so he piled up and burned it.
Yang Yun smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I'm just worried that it will anger them. As the saying goes, the soldiers will win. I'm afraid that Jincheng will not be able to withstand their anger."
Pei Min laughed, "I did this, and the other purpose was to anger them. Only by angering them will we pay more attention to Jincheng. We are under great pressure here, and relatively speaking, the pressure on the east side will be much smaller, and we will have more opportunities to win. It can be said that the key to the decisive victory of this Tubo invasion is Jincheng."
Yang Yun was speechless and knew that in the next game, his talents would definitely not be able to keep up with him, so he obeyed the orders honestly.
He built more than two thousand naked corpses into a mountain, set fire from all directions, and saw that the flames covered Jingguan, Pei Min gave an order to return to the army.
He fought against 3,000 Tubo vanguard cavalry with a thousand soldiers, and killed ten times the enemy at the cost of more than a hundred soldiers. The results were brilliant, and he was warmly welcomed by the soldiers and generals in the city.
Especially the people, who had not experienced war for many years, they had an inexplicable fear of the coming of war. But Pei Min's beautiful victory made them realize that they were the people of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom, and how could a mere Tubo barbarian bandits be the opponent? They were in great peace and responded to the recruitment of Fan Chen, the servants of the household, and were willing to serve as a servant to help defend the city, and at the same time they had some extra food and money.
In order to celebrate, the flag was opened and the victory was won, Chief Lu Yu allocated silver money from the treasury to hold a dinner in the urn city to entertain the soldiers who went to the expedition, and also gave money to encourage him.
Lu Yu initially planned to release the salary of the soldiers, but at Pei Min's reminder, even the soldiers who were resting in the city were released. Although the soldiers who went to the battle were worthy of commendation, the soldiers who stayed at their posts in the city also had to work hard. The amount was naturally less than that of the soldiers who went to the battle, but they had to give it to him.
While appeaseing their dissatisfaction, they also let them know something. War is not terrible, but rather a way out for family wealth. As long as they make contributions, they will definitely receive rewards.
With the lessons learned from the past, those who have a little ambition in their hearts have improved their fighting spirit more or less.
But at the evening celebration banquet, only the soldiers who went to fight were undoubtedly present.
In today's conquest, the soldiers who went to fight were divided into three waves, the wealthy guards, the Jincheng defenders and the mercenaries in the Western Regions. They each had their own circles, and it was not easy to get them together. It was okay to say that the wealthy guards and the Jincheng defenders, but many of the mercenaries in the Western Regions could not even speak Chinese. It would be a bad thing to get mixed up in front of them.
At Pei Min's suggestion, the wealthy guards and the Jincheng guards held a reward banquet under the urn. The Jincheng city's urn is big enough to be divided into dozens of banquet fires, and they can eat, drink and have fun. Anyway, the Tubo army will have a few days to arrive in Jincheng, so they can relax properly.
As for the mercenaries in the Western Regions, they were directly successfully booked Yi’s restaurant for them. After all, they were not Tang’s army, and they did not receive their money, but they did a lifelong job. The treats of delicious food were also what they deserved.
The ban on alcohol during the war was a rule by the military. The urn city reward banquets were all sheep milk and horse milk. The specially processed mutton and horse milk tasted almost the same as the drinks of later generations. Because the mutton and horse meat had enough esophageal tubes and a lot of expensive beef was prepared, and ordinary soldiers rarely eat meat a few times a month. Although there was no wine to cheer up, all the soldiers were still very happy to eat it.
As the biggest hero of this battle, Pei Min was respected by all the soldiers and was the core figure of the banquet. He had no airs and drank the soldiers with his milk and wine. More than a dozen fires were toasted from beginning to end, and no one fell to him.
Pei Min's identity is so noble to them. He is so close to the people that naturally makes all the soldiers feel good.
After gathering with the soldiers here, Pei Min went to the restaurant where the mercenaries gathered.
Originally, Pei Min thought the restaurant would be smoky and the smell of wine and meat was soaring. He didn't expect that the restaurant was really lively. More than a hundred warriors gathered to play, eating meat in large chunks, some fighting, some competing, and some gambling, but there was no smell of wine. However, he didn't know that mercenaries had rules for mercenaries, and regular mercenaries valued their reputation, and they did not drink when they performed their missions.
Aviye and Savoy were merchants. In order to avoid giving up on black people, they naturally hired all the mercenaries with good reputation.
Pei Minfang just walked into the restaurant, but saw the red-robed mercenary who killed the Tubo thousand-captain, knocked away the opponent's weapon with a knife. He waved his hand excitedly and said a lot of words.
Pei Min didn't know what he said, but from his expression, he should praise the knife in his hand for being good. Thinking of the red robe mercenary, the knife that Tuotuo was indeed not an ordinary person. Although this guy had hidden the spoils in his private place, he killed the man, so it would be okay to give it to him.
Yi, a mercenary who was familiar with Chinese language, came to the red robe mercenary and looked at the knife in his hand enviously and said, "Kendrick, you are so lucky. This knife can sell a lot of gems."
The red-robed mercenary named Kendrick also switched to Chinese language and said, "The knife is very easy to use, and it is not sold. Now it is my second life, and I don't sell it for many gems. Remember, touching and slapping, it is not that I, Kendrick, is it because I am lucky, Kendrick is strong enough, and there are several Tang soldiers in front of me? They are just too weak and killed by the other party. And I am strong enough, this knife is mine."
Pei Min heard this and raised his eyebrows. Tang Jun was not strong. He did not deny this, but it was definitely not weak. At least today's performance was completely out of his imagination. Moreover, even if it was not strong, it was not a turn for another Chinese to strode forward and said, "According to your logic, if I am stronger than you, this knife is mine?"
Kendrick looked at Pei Min, thinking about the bravery that was tying across the enemy today, his eyes ignited a high fighting spirit, raised the long sword in his hand, and said, "You defeat me, this sword is yours!"
