Chapter 22: Reunion after a long absence
This time, Pei Mingu went to Chang'an, but for An Pei's mother and her sweetheart, he brought a hundred guards to the east.
Of course, doctor Liu Shenwei was also accompanied.
Since Pei Min entered Beijing, he, a doctor who came from afar, naturally went home with him.
They had more than a hundred riders in a row, and the momentum was quite spectacular.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "Liangzhou's big horse is rampant in the world."
Pei Min is now the governor of Hexi and the inspector, and he is the first to get the moon near the water and tower. His personal guards are all tall and big, with a grand momentum.
Pei Min has now changed into a good horse that is both yellow and white. It is much taller and more powerful than Oriki's hair, especially the mane on its neck, which is golden and slender, and looks like a lion's mane, almost hanging to the horse's legs, which is particularly beautiful.
Pei Min remembers that there was a record in "Chaoye Qianzai": "During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, Dayuan offered a thousand-mile horse, with its mane dragging the ground, and called it Lion Cong. Only the Lang general Pei Renji could control it, heading to the West Capital, and arrived in Dongluo in the evening. After the Sui Dynasty, he did not know where he was."
Pei Min guessed that this horse was the breed of the lion, because this horse was given to him by the Arab lion king Mosremasa, and it was a product of the country of Bakhan.
The country of Bahana is also the alias of Dayuan. Now, Bahana is under the control of the Arab Empire.
As agreed, Mosremasa gave Pei Min three pure white combat camels.
The unimodal fighting camels produced in Arabia are indeed very good. They are not slow, tall and strong, and especially powerful.
It is said that the horses in Liangzhou are strong, but they are indeed far from fighting camels, which also confirms the old saying that a camel who starves to death is larger than a horse.
But there is a foul smell on the fighting camel, which is unbearable.
Pei Min had the intention to be similar to the Arab Empire, and used these three combat camels as seeds to cultivate a camel cavalry.
But it was revealed that the lion king Mosremasa, the lion king, was thick on the outside and thin on the inside. The three camels he sent were all male, and they were castrated, just like eunuchs.
Not to mention breeding, they can’t even be “slap”.
Pei Min almost showed the uncle who was far away from Arabia laughing proudly with his hips on his hips, and he was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he was glaring at him.
For some reason, in addition to the three agreed white camels, he gave him another horse with a majestic shape like a lion.
As expected, Mosremasa had never heard of "Lion Test", Pei Min gave it a nice name...Simba.
This time, Simba rode the Lion King and entered Beijing. It was not because Simba was tall and mighty, and she looked far better than Orima.
If Pei Min chooses one of Xiaolimao and Simba’s two good horses, he will undoubtedly choose the former.
Xiaolimao was given to him by Xue Na. After following him for eleven years, she was no longer just his mount pet, but also his comrades-in-arms who were born and died together.
But a horse is a horse after all, and it cannot change the characteristics of a creature.
Xiaolimao was originally the mount of the Xi prince Moke. Pei Min killed Moke, and Xue Ne gave Xiaolimao to Pei Min.
Before Pei Min, Mo was Xiaolimao's master.
Before following Pei Min, Xiaolimao had been following Mo Ke for a certain period of time, and was an adult horse in her early teens.
Now I have been following Pei Min for eleven years, and I have been at least twenty years old.
Generally speaking, horses are about one-third of that of humans, and their average life span is around thirty years old.
From birth, the first twelve months are considered as a horse. Before the age of five, it is a young horse; from the age of five to sixteen, it is a middle-aged horse; after the age of sixteen, it is considered an old horse.
Therefore, a horse's glory age is between three and fifteen years old, and some unexpectedly can reach twenty years old.
Orikimao has reached the age of retirement. It is a war horse. Because it is inevitable to be injured when rushing around on the battlefield. It is the same as a human being. When I was young, I may not feel it, but once I am in my prime, all kinds of complications will explode.
Twenty-year-old Orimao was already a little overwhelmed to continue fighting.
Two months ago, Orimao fell seriously ill and almost died of illness.
Fortunately, due to regional relations, Xiaolimao was rescued back due to the excellent regional relationship.
This also led to Pei Min's move to change horses. How could he bear to ride Xiaolimao and gallop around again?
Now Xiaolimao has sent Pei Min to the Guazhou Military Horse Farm, allowing it to live on the grassland for retirement, and arrange for people to take good care of it. When they are free, they will go and see it.
Simba naturally became Pei Min's new mount.
In terms of endurance, Simba is far inferior to Orimao at his peak, but it is undeniable that in terms of explosive power, as a BMW horse produced in Dayuan, Simba is indeed better and has no idea about her appearance.
More than a hundred cavalry rode eastward and crossed the Wushaoling Mountain Road.
When she was in Longyou, Pei Min stayed for a day and met with Li Yide, Li Siye, Guo Wenbin, Pugu Huaien, Zhang Jingsun, Wang Hu and other generals from the Longyou Army, and arranged their winter military exercises.
The Longyou Army has long become a climate and is accustomed to various military exercises.
As long as Pei Min talks to them, they all know how to do it.
I stayed for one more day just to drink with everyone and reminisce about the past.
After leaving Shanzhou, Pei Min continued to travel east.
He thought of Gongsun You, and along the way, he ran away without any necessary delays.
A few days later, he had approached the Li Pavilion ten miles away from Kaiyuanmen.
Kaiyuan Gate is the northernmost city gate in the west wall of Guocheng, Chang'an, and it is also the starting point of the Silk Road.
There is a milestone in the erecting pavilion, which is titled "Nine thousand and nine hundred miles of the Western Priory Road".
This nine thousand nine hundred miles has a profound meaning. In fact, the Silk Road is more than ten thousand miles. This does not mean that people traveling far away will not travel thousands of miles.
It is also because of this erected monument and the erected pavilion.
Pei Min didn't plan to rest at the Riga Pavilion, so he went straight into the city gate and returned to Pei's mansion. His eyes swept through the pavilion and couldn't help but scream in surprise: "Old brother, Brother He!"
It turned out that He Zhizhang in the pavilion and Zhang Xu were looking forward to it.
Pei Min hurriedly got off his horse and walked up to meet him.
He Zhizhang and they had drunk together during the Chinese New Year this year, but Zhang Xu hadn't seen each other for some years.
In Pei Min's memory, the last time he drank with Zhang Xu was before and after he married Jiao Chen.
Since he took over as the governor of Longyou, he has never seen Zhang Xu again.
Pei Min's best friend in his life was Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian, and the most respected elders were Xue Ne and Zhang Xu, and the next was He Zhizhang.
Now that I see Zhang Xu again, Pei Min is really happy.
After many years of separation, Zhang Xu's temples were gray and his face looked old.
Seeing this, Pei Min felt inexplicably sore, his eyes were a little wet. He stepped forward and hugged him heavily and said, "Old brother, I want to ruin me!"
Zhang Xu traveled around the world, with countless drinkers and close friends.
But his calligraphy has undergone essential changes because of Pei Min's sword. It was Pei Min's imaginative swordsmanship that allowed him to master the god of cursive script.
Because of this relationship, in Zhang Xu's eyes, Pei Min is also unique.
Whenever a masterpiece comes out, he can't help but think of the little brother in Longyou.
