Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 123 Divine soldiers descend from heaven to attack Qinghai (Part )
Wulandaban Mountain, which means "red mountain" in Mongolian, is located at the junction of northwest Qinghai Province and western Gansu Province. It belongs to the Qilian Mountains and runs from northwest to southeast. The terrain is very high, with an average altitude of more than 5,000 meters, especially in the central part. The mountain is the steepest and has glaciers.

Hidden in the lush cedar forest are 12,000 elite Huite troops. Half of these soldiers come from the "Qixue Army" of the Imperial Guard directly under Huitaiji, and the other half come from the garrison from various places. They are organized into four banners, each with three There are three thousand people in one thousand households, and Tuoli, Balsi, Narisong, and Suhe all have one thousand households, each with a unified banner. Among the four, Tuoli is the oldest and is temporarily in charge of the entire army.

On this day, Tuoli had some free time and was bored, shooting vultures in the mountains. Since the time of Sultan's father, Nomdale Dadaiji, this man has been a famous marksman in the tribe. He holds the position of Kutuzinar (General of the Guards), and his archery skills are really impressive.

Although the forty-eight-year-old veteran's braids were gray, his eyes were still as sharp as a knife. He calmly took out the iron finger, put it on his hand, aimed at a golden eagle in the sky, bent his bow and shot it with an arrow. Shooting a moving bird is not the same as shooting a fixed target. It requires predicting the bird's flight trajectory. For a sharpshooter, this is just a piece of cake, just one arrow. The golden eagle, which was so majestic just now and invited to swim in the sky, let out a mournful cry and fell down.

"Du Qianhu, a messenger from Huitai Ji has arrived. He said that His Highness will be arriving soon." His elegance was interrupted by the report from the personal guard.

He was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and excitedly issued an order: "Quick, order the generals to gather their troops and prepare to be inspected by Huitaiji."

The two brothers Suletan and Sumur led a thousand personal guards and rushed into the Huite military camp in the Ulanda Ban Mountain. I saw that the camp was tightly and solidly built, with all necessary defenses available. I couldn't help but secretly nod, Tuoli is really a talented general!

"The last general will see Huitaiji!" Generals Tuoli led Baersi, Narisong and Suhe were already waiting at the gate of the camp to greet them.

Sultan jumped off his horse and nodded to the generals one by one. "Thank you generals for your hard work. Are you impatient? Come on, follow me into the camp and let's discuss how to fight this battle." After saying that, he held Tuoli with his left arm and Barsi with his right arm, and pulled the two most senior generals into the tent.

"A long time ago, there was a clever and wise Chitu Khan, whose son was named Arslan. Khan brought 40,000 elite soldiers and seven masters from a distant place to camp in Xiligou Basin. One day, He asked seven masters to calculate the fate of the tribe. 'Great Khan, from the northwest of us will appear a terrible army, riding on a three-headed animal with white water bubbling from its mouth, using The tail is sprinkled with water, and the people riding on it are holding torches. It is a powerful enemy, and measures must be taken.' The masters replied in unison. 'What method is there? Tell me quickly', Khan asked. 'From Starting from this year, a beacon tower will be built every year. If the sutras that curse them are pressed under the beacon tower, they can avoid disaster.' The Khan agreed, and for three consecutive years, three beacon towers were built conscientiously according to the requirements of the masters. He did not encounter any danger. He was relieved and doubted the claims of the masters. The two beacon towers at the back did not fall according to the requirements of the masters, and two others did not fall at all. Later, the northwest army appeared on camels. Xiligou Basin, surrounded by Khan's army."

In the area around Ulan and Shuo, there is a legend about Quetu Khan and the seven beacon towers. Big and small Ulan and Shuo refer to the two hills of Datong Mountain in the north of Qinghai Lake. This is the grazing place of the Choktu tribe of the Khalkha Mongolia, and the Khan's court of Chotu Khan was located here.

These two hills were originally nameless, but since the 40,000-strong army led by Chotu Khan ambushed the 15,000-Oirat coalition army led by the national advisor Khan here last year, they have been given names: "Big and Small Ulan Heshuo" . The battle was so brutal that rivers of blood flowed and corpses piled up like mountains. The locals called the two mountain passes where the two sides fought called the Big and Little Ulan Heshuo, which in Mongolian means "the Big and Little Red Mountains are dyed red with blood."

Since entering Qinghai from Mobei, Quetu Khan has regarded Qinghai as the fundamental place for his dominance. The Great and Small Ulan Heshuo (near today's Gangcha County) is located among the mountains in northern Qinghai. Not only is the terrain difficult, but it also has abundant water and lush grass. It is really a good place that can be the foundation of all generations. The only weakness comes from the Qaidam Basin in the west. The terrain in the west is flat and easy to be invaded by foreign enemies.

After his son Arslan failed to conquer the Snowy Land, Chotu Khan realized the truth of biting off more than he could chew. He no longer rushed to capture Lhasa, but instead honestly strengthened the defense of the fundamental place. He planned to build seven beacon towers along the Bukhara River to the west of the pastureland. In this way, if a strong enemy comes from the direction of the basin, the beacon tower can call the police in time to avoid being caught off guard. After a lot of hard work, three beacon towers have been built, two more are half-built, and two more have not yet started. On this day, the fifty-seven-year-old King Khan inspected his headquarters as usual, and then returned to the Khan tent to review official documents with a brush. As a famous Confucian general in the Khalkha Mongolia, he was gentle, good at poetry and prose, and studied the history of the Han Dynasty. He was also proficient in bow and horse, and his calligraphy was excellent.

Bagan, the personal chief of the Thousand Households, tiptoed into the sweat tent and said, "Great Khan, the spies we sent to Talbahatai are back."

"Oh, call him in to answer." Butuhan's pen tip was a little heavier, and the word "ke" appeared on the paper with strong strokes.

The mink fur and red tasseled dome-brimmed hat, the floral satin hanging leather robe, the double-breasted waistcoat, and the large velvet boots with floral patterns all look like the attire of a wealthy Mongolian businessman, and "a slave sees the Great Khan".

"Get up and tell us what the Oirat people are going to do when they hold the Chulkan Conference in Talbahatai."

"Reporting to the Great Khan, my slave bribed an official of the Kashote Department with a large amount of money. From his mouth, I learned that the Oirat people's meeting in Chulgan mainly discussed two things: the election of a new Khan and the revenge of the Imperial Khan." . The spy's voice was low, but Quitu Khan's body trembled, "Revenge for the Imperial Preceptor Khan? Is there going to be another big war?"

"The General Assembly elected Dayan Eqil, the eldest son of the National Preceptor Khan, as the new Khan of Oirat, but there was another incident. Hutaiji Sultan of the Huit tribe proposed to change the single-league system to a dual-alliance system, with Hutaiji Batu of the Junggar tribe You and Dayan Eqi'er Khan were joint leaders of the alliance. It is said that Dayan Eqi Khan did not agree, but he still forced it to pass."

Quitu Khan nodded slightly. It seems that the riding whip of the Oirat Mongolia is in the hands of the Junggar and Huite tribes. Dayan Eqi Khan is just a decoration, but the Huite tribe's Huitai Jisultan is the Huite of the Junggar tribe. When Jibatur spoke, could it be that there was a conspiracy between the two of them and they wanted to plot something against me? Thinking of this, he asked the spy, "Have they ever discussed how to avenge the National Preceptor Khan?"

"Great Khan, this is very ridiculous. Hutaiji Sultan of the Nahuite tribe advocated that all the ministries jointly send troops to attack you and avenge the national adviser Khan, but Hutaiji and Orlek of the Torhut tribe said that they We were invaded by the Oros and were in danger of losing our clan, so we asked for reinforcements. Batur Hutaiji of the Junggar tribe advocated rescuing the Torguts first, and then attacking you. The two sides argued hard, and no resolution was reached, and they ended up unhappy. Disperse".

Quetu Khan was stunned, and suddenly laughed, "I didn't expect that the dignified Weilat would be torn apart. There has been no hero since the Great Master Khan!"
