Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 164 Two Great Monks Leave Lhasa (Part )
The anti-Gelug coalition forces pursued them and caught up with the team following the two great monks near Sidajie Village. Fierce soldiers rushed over, killing everyone they saw, snatching valuable objects, and tying beautiful women to war horses. The area around Sidajie Village was littered with corpses and rivers of blood, like a hell on earth.

Jilong Hutuktu was sitting on a cart and saw a soldier lifting a baby on a long chair. The baby's hands and feet were still squirming. "Hahaha", the soldier laughed cruelly.

"Amitabha, it's a sin, it's a sin!" The great monk showed compassion and murmured sutras to save the dead.

A soldier discovered him and was about to chop him with a knife. Another soldier quickly stopped him, pointed at the Banxia hat worn by Jilong Hutuktu and said: "He is a master of the Gelug sect. I am afraid that the Buddha will blame him for killing him."

As soon as he heard "Buddha blamed", no one around him dared to attack Jilong Hutuktu.

Sangye Tsering rode up on his horse and saw everyone gathered together. He asked curiously: "What are you doing here?"

"General, we have captured a master of the Gelug sect and we don't know what to do with him."

Sangye Tsering looked at the great monk's robe, shouted "bad luck", and prepared to leave. Suddenly a strong wind blew by, lifting the curtains on the cart, revealing the dazzling gold and silver jewelry.

"Humph!"

Sangjie Tsering smiled ferociously, "What kind of guru? He's just a demon monk from an evil sect." He pulled out his steel sword and struck it down hard. The great monk was split in half, and the "banxia" fell weakly.

"Send this car into my camp," the murderer roared triumphantly.

Damxion Grassland, the pasture land of Otok led by Sumurtaji. He led 2,000 Huite troops, 2,000 surrender troops, and 1,400 households to garrison here. After Qianhu Changsandan led a thousand soldiers to withdraw from Lhasa, he had 5,000 soldiers. In addition to the 2,000 herdsmen he had recruited, he had a total of 7,000 people. He was busy repairing the camp all day long and preparing to stand firm. Awaiting assistance.

"Taiji, Lhasa is such a good place, what a pity to lose it! Why did Huitaiji ask me to evacuate?" Sandan was very confused about Sultan's secret order to abandon Lhasa and not keep it. Before the battle started, he received a secret order from Huitai Ji to withdraw his troops. Given his rank, he was naturally unable to know the secret agreement between Sultan, Zangba Khan, and Baili Chieftain to divide the territory.

"Shut up! How can you comment on my brother's decision?" Sumur scolded, and suddenly laughed, "Losing is for better possession, you just execute it."

"Report, the two great monks from the Snow Region have withdrawn from Lhasa to Damxung, and they have sent envoys to ask you to come out of the village to greet them." He was chatting and reporting to the left and right.

"Let's go, follow me to meet the two divine monks and ask them for blessings. Maybe I can live a long life." Sumur patted Sandan on the shoulder and joked.

Although it was a joke, he did not dare to neglect and went out to greet him personally. As soon as he saw the sacred monk, he knelt down and paid homage. Peeping with eyes, we can see the two sacred monks who are tired of their travels, followed by Ganden Tripa, Rezhen Hutuktu, Tsemoling Hutuktu, Dimu Hutuktu, Suonan Qunpei, Zhongmeinai, Da Everyone in Dongnai looked embarrassed.

Seeing that the high-ranking Gru leaders had fallen to this level, Sumur felt secretly happy and deliberately asked: "Are the thieves so ferocious? How many subordinates do the two great masters have left now?"

Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso and Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen looked at each other and sighed: "The coalition forces of Zangpa Khan and Baili Chieftain are very cruel. After many massacres, there are only three thousand soldiers escorting us, and only one subject is left." Ten thousand.

Sumur nodded, "I have 7,000 soldiers here. If we join forces with you, there will be 10,000 soldiers. When the stronghold is strong and the barriers are tight, it can stop the pursuers." When they heard that they were asked to stay in Dangxiong and face the front line of the coalition forces, the two monks looked troubled.

"Amitabha, the two great masters are responsible for the rise and fall of Gelug. They must not go to dangerous places lightly. The old monk suggested that they evacuate to Nagqu in the northeast of Damxung. It is surrounded by Tanggula, Nyenchen Tanglha, and Gangdese mountains. Dalguo Snow Mountain in the west and Buji Snow Mountain in the east are like two male lions guarding them. The terrain is difficult and they can be stationed in Xi. As for the lions, let the old monk stay," said the old monk Ganden Tripa.

He is the leader of Gelug and has a respected position. Now he has taken the initiative to take the place of the two great monks to go to danger, which not only allowed them to leave the dangerous place, but also saved their face, so he won unanimous praise from the audience.

Sumur was also very respectful and said respectfully: "Masters, please withdraw to Nagqu. We can stay here while we wait."

"The last general is willing to follow Taiji to guard the throne," Suonan Qunpei, Zhongmeinai, and Dadongnai said in unison. Monks can stay away from the flames of war. As military generals, they must fight both emotionally and rationally. Asking for a fight is a political statement.

In the end, everyone decided that Zhong Meinai would lead a thousand troops to assist Sumur in guarding Dangxiong, while Suonan Qunpei and Dadongnai would lead two thousand troops to escort the monks and their subjects to evacuate to Naqu.

After the anti-Gellu coalition captured Lhasa, they continued to advance vigorously and successively captured Donggar, Gama, Mozhu, and Lunzhu villages. They stopped in front of the Damxung camp with deep ditches and high fortresses.

Zangba Khan Xinshaba Tengyong Wangpo hated Gelug to the core and ordered the destruction of the three major monasteries of Drepung, Sera and Ganden. The monks were driven away, those who resisted were killed, and all the manor properties belonging to the monasteries were confiscated. This was originally an act of revenge, but unexpectedly, he made a fortune. The plundered wealth was enough to load hundreds of carts. Baili Chieftain Dunyue Duoji was jealous and raised troops to destroy other Gelug sect temples and plunder more than a hundred carts of money.

What goes up and deeds follow, the coalition soldiers robbed Gru's temples and monks when they saw them, and military discipline gradually deteriorated. What's more terrible is that the soldiers who had robbed enough money just wanted to go home with the money and were no longer willing to fight. Zangba Khan and Baili Tusi, who were overwhelmed by the victory, did not realize this and were still immersed in the joy of victory.

Hearing that the three major monasteries had been destroyed, Ngawang Lobsang Gyatso, who was taking refuge in Nagqu, became dizzy and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Please don't be anxious. The temple can be rebuilt after it has been demolished. The top priority is to ask the Oirat Mongols to send troops to protect the teachings. Huite Ji Sultan of the Huite tribe has strong soldiers and horses, and he once worshiped the great guru Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen as his teacher, but Ask the great master to compile a book and ask him for help." Suonan Qunpei offered a suggestion.

In a critical moment, naturally you have to try any method. Lobsang Chokyi Gyaltsen quickly wrote the letter and sent a messenger to Yarkand to deliver it to Sultan.

When he received the letter asking for help from his master, Sultan had initially stabilized the situation in Yarkant and was about to march into the snowy region. After reading the letter, he chuckled and called his think tank Liu Haogu, "Master Liu, the time seems to be ripe to take control of the Snowy Region."

"I thought you might as well wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

Liu Haogu said calmly: "Last time you asked the two holy monks to confer the title of Sarula Bilig Khan but they were rejected. You might as well bring it up again this time."

"Wonderful!" Sultan laughed, "What Master Liu said is true. When will those two bald donkeys make me Khan, and when will I send troops again?"
