Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 303 I recommend my Buddha with my blood (Part )
"Your Majesty, the Sharp Temple is ahead." Uszangcheng announced that the political envoy Pilenley Zamusu respectfully led the way for Suletan. Because he would rather die than surrender to Gelulu, he and the inspector Ngawang Ji Kezhak had the impression of loyal ministers in the emperor's mind. This time they marched into Gyantse and were entrusted with the role of guides.

Yesterday, the Guards easily captured the city of Xiapu (Sharu) at the cost of only three people killed and six injured, and then marched towards Xiapu Temple. The victory came so easily that Sultan couldn't believe it and asked his surroundings: "I heard that Xiapu was one of the 300,000 households and was considered an important town. How could the city be captured so easily?"

"Aha (brother), no, my eldest brother, His Majesty the Emperor, doesn't know. All of Xiapu's elite soldiers are at Xiapu Monastery. This generation of great monk Butun is very arrogant. He often wants to expand the power of the sect and brings the main force to attack Gyantse. So our army can easily win," said Liao King Sumur.

"There is no need to be polite when you greet (brother), just call me Aha as before. I like you to call me that."

"When David first established the throne, his ministers would never dare to be rude or mess up the court order," Sumur said seriously.

Sultan was very moved. Among the Mongolian nobles, his younger brother had always supported him unconditionally. He said, "No matter officials from the Mongolian or Han Hui tribes, they should no longer be called 'slaves' but 'chen'". He took the lead in calling "chen"; he said, "When David first founded the country, everything must be done according to etiquette." When he saw him, he no longer addressed himself as a brother, but instead called himself "Eldest Brother, His Majesty the Emperor".

But in this way, it seems that something is missing in life. Emperor Qianyuan sighed, "King Liao, from now on in public, you and I will address each other as monarch and minister. I allow you to add the word 'di' after the word 'chen' and call me 'Chen brother'; in private, you will still call me ' Aha', I still call you 'Du'."

"Yes", Sumur quickly obeyed the order, seeming to feel that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, and smiled: "My brother heard that this Xiapu Temple has a history of 460 years, and there are many gold, silver and jewels in the temple. After we conquered this temple, I Then we won’t have to worry about the army’s military expenses.”

"Okay! I will order the King of Liao to be my wealth-gathering boy and gather wealth for me." Suletan stared at Sumur.

"My brother obeys the order," Sumur also looked at Suletan.

"Hahaha~hahaha~" The brothers suddenly burst into laughter, as if they were children again.

All joking aside, the gathering of wealth went very smoothly. As soon as Sumur, the vanguard of the Guards, arrived at the gate of Xiapu Temple, the monk soldiers guarding the temple surrendered. It was impossible not to surrender. The elite soldiers in the temple had been taken away by Butun Fatai, and Sharp City had been lost. Resistance was asking for death. Under the leadership of Jiang Bing, Sumur sealed up the temple's treasures and looted all the gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin thangkas, and obtained property worth more than 70,000 taels.

After hearing the report, Sultan laughed and said, "Who said Snowland is poor? These great monks are all as rich as the rest of the country!"

Hearing that a messenger had arrived in Shigatse, Dorje Leba and Butun hurriedly returned to Baiju Temple. When they met, they took a deep breath and saw that two famous masters were here: Monk Datsa of Basu Temple and Zanya Badida. These two people have high status in the Gelug sect. The monk sent them here because he must have something important to inform them.

"Two masters are here, but the master has a sacred message to pass on to us?" Dorje Lepa asked.

"Yes, when will the holy monk send troops to support Gyantse?" Buton also asked anxiously.

"Alas! Don't you know that Emperor Qianyuan has returned with his army, Shigatse is now under the control of the guards, and the holy monk has also been captured. The old man wrote a letter to you two," said Zanyabadida .

"What!" Duoji Leba and Butun were stunned as if they were struck by lightning.

After a long time, Dorje Lepa regained his composure and asked, "Where is Master's letter?"

"Here", Zambadida handed over a letter.

When Dorje Lepa opened it, there was only a line of small words inside: "You will die in Gelug, you will survive in Gelug. It is the right time to lead the army to surrender and sacrifice your life for righteousness."

Master wants to sacrifice me to save the master. On weekdays, I am the most favored by his old man. When I wrote this letter, I must have broken my heart and heart. My writing hand was shaking, so the handwriting was a lot more sloppy!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yabadida thought he was hesitating, and hurriedly saluted him deeply: "Emperor Qianyuan recognized senior brother and Suonan Qunpei as the main leaders of the rebellion, and the master had no choice but to sacrifice senior brother. Although senior brother He must die after surrendering, but Tashilhunpo Monastery will secretly build a white pagoda to commemorate his senior brother, making his death an honor."

After hearing this, Dorje Lepa smiled and said, "Junior brother, don't try to persuade me. Master has been very kind to me. From the day I entered Tashilhunpo Monastery, it has been my duty to serve Master. Today I have the opportunity to serve It is my honor to die defending Gru, how can I not be happy with it?" After hearing this, Zanyabadida, who was originally calm and calm, had red eyes and shed tears.

"Dear masters, if Gru surrenders, what should I, Xiapu, do?" After hearing their answers, Monk Buton became anxious.

"Master, you don't know yet. When Brother Dacha and I came to Gyantse, Emperor Qianyuan had already led the elite guards to attack Xiapu. At this time, Xiapu City and Xiapu Temple should have fallen into the hands of the guards."

When he heard that his old nest might be lost, the great monk Buton was at a loss.

"Don't worry, Great Master, why not just surrender?" Da opened his mouth.

"Surrender? It's easy for you to say, but I'm afraid my life won't be saved if I surrender." Buton was very afraid of death.

"Your Majesty only mentioned the names of Suonan Qunpei and senior brother, but didn't mention you at all. There should be no danger," Zanya Badida persuaded.

Buton smiled bitterly. For the first time, he felt that no one was paying attention, which was a kind of happiness. "In this case, I am willing to surrender together with all the masters."

When he heard the news that Khenpo Dorje Lepa of Tashilhunpo Monastery and Fatai Butun of Sharp Monastery led more than 10,000 soldiers to surrender, Suletan was visiting Sharp Monastery with great interest.

"Okay, okay! We solved the siege of Gyantse without any effort. Datsa and Yabadida are doing a good job!" Sultan was so happy that he suddenly remembered that he had ordered people to loot the Sharp Temple. If Butun, the Fatai of Xiapu Temple, comes to know about it and asks me for money, I will lose my face.

Hum hum, if you don’t do it, you won’t stop!

The location for surrender was chosen in the north of Gyantse City. Sultan stood on a high platform and observed with a telescope.

Group after group of Gru and Sharp soldiers came to the designated place and abandoned their helmets and armor, and various weapons piled up into a hill.

Qianhu Tegusi, the guard commander, came to Ketu in front of Dorje Lepa and Butun and asked, "Who is Dorje Lepa?"

"That's the little monk."

Tegus nodded towards Ketu and shouted: "Take it!" Immediately, soldiers tied up Dorje Leba.

"Are you Buton?" Tegus asked Ketu again.

"It's the little monk."

"Well, take it," Tegus shouted to Ketu again, and immediately another sergeant came to tie up Buton.

"What are you doing? Why are you tying me up?" Buton struggled desperately.

"Huh," Tegus sneered at Ketu, "Your Majesty has decreed that Dorje Leba and Butun deceived the holy monks and caused trouble in the snowy area. They committed a heinous crime! They will be sentenced to quartering on five horses and will be executed immediately."
