Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 305 The sword points at the demons in the south of the mountain (Part )
Suletan came with his army, riding a red horse. He looked very good: he was wearing a war helmet with a tassel in the shape of a banner. There were two small flags on the top of the tassel. He was wearing armor, with a quiver on his waist and a long hand in his right hand. The spear, the spear tassel fluttering in the wind, the left hand holding the knife as if in deep thought.

He created this look based on the portrait of King Gesar that was circulated in the Snowy Land. Legend has it that this legendary figure was the incarnation of Padmasambhava more than 600 years ago, so the young emperor dressed up according to the portrait in order to make the people in Shannan and even the entire snowy region believe that he was the representative of Padmasambhava in the world. , everyone who opposes you is a demon. In fact, his most common weapon is a spear, and he doesn't like to use spears. It doesn't matter, with our current status, there are very few Jiahui who fight in person. What's the difference between using a gun or a spear? As long as the people support you, that's fine.

I don’t know if this majestic appearance scared away the demons, and the battle to pacify Shannan went exceptionally smoothly. Almost all the cities were won without fighting. Even important towns such as Nedong, Luozha, Cuona, and Tuyou encountered no resistance. The defenders fled completely. There were not even a few monks in the major temples. The main monastery of Drukpa Kagyu, Densati Monastery, was also empty.

Victory came too easily. Emperor Qianyuan was a little worried and decided to visit the enemy's lair. He climbed to the Zhukangzi Peak of the Kampotri Mountain and entered the ancient Tsetang Temple. "This is the Tsetang Temple that is as famous as the Dansati Temple? It doesn't look very big."

"Your Majesty, this Zedang Temple was originally the family temple of the head of Pazhu Ten Thousand Households, so the area is not very large. However, because it has been supported by the local government of Pazhu, its influence has exceeded that of Dansati Temple," Governor Uzang Dash explained.

"That's it." Suletan nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that the people of the Snowy Land are the descendants of the sacred monkey. At that time, the sacred monkey and his six sons lived on the Kampotri Mountain, and later derived In various parts of the snowy region, there are monkey caves on the mountains where the sacred monkeys lived. I don’t know where they are? I want to take a look.”

"Your Majesty, the Monkey Cave is located on the back mountain of Zhukangzi Peak, and 'Zedang' actually means 'the dam where monkeys play'. This Monkey Cave is the holy land of Kampotri Mountain, and you must go there." Uzang The prosecutor of the punishment, Renbungpa Ngawang Ji Kezak, got interested. A few days ago, this man and Uzbeg envoy Pilenley Zamusu would rather die than surrender to Gelug. The emperor regarded him as a loyal minister and took him with him to serve as military counselor. He was from Shannan and was familiar with the local customs. Seeing the emperor's interest in visiting, he followed him to join in the fun.

"Excellent! Please lead the way. I want to visit this monkey cave." Sultan was very happy.

The Monkey Cave is actually not that big. It is full of twists and turns and has a mysterious sense of ancient times, as if it has gone through countless vicissitudes of time.

The emperor and ministers watched the scenery of Kampotri Mountain with great interest, as if they came here not to suppress the rebellion, but to have fun.

Suletan, who thought he had everything under control, soon received a blow: Sakyamuni Gyatso, a third-rank imperial official and Uztang soldier who joined the army, was killed in the battle at Nedong Prefecture.

"When you join the army, there is Zhajie Zhugu in front of you. There is news that Basang Wangbu, the Fatai of Zedang Monastery, is hidden in a valley near Zhajie Zhugu." Quli Gelie, the prefect of Naidong, respectfully explained to the army. Jia Gyatso reported. Although the prefect of the fourth rank is only one level younger than the conscript of the third rank, the post of joiner is in charge of the recruitment, militia training and other affairs of the province, and his power is much greater than that of the prefect. More importantly, Sakyamuni Gyatso had made great achievements in the battle to defend Gyantse. He was about to reuse him, and Quli Gelie did not dare to neglect him.

"Is the news accurate?" Shakya Gyatso asked seriously.

"The information was provided by a mountain man. It was this person who tipped off the government before. We destroyed a rebel camp and a barn and killed three rebels. It should be accurate," Quli Gelie said flatteringly. .

Sakyamuni Gyatso showed a smile. If I can capture the bandit leader Pasang Wangbu this time, my official position should probably be mentioned. A while ago, news came from the court that in view of his outstanding performance in countering the rebellion, the emperor intended to promote him to the right minister of the Ministry of War. After hearing the news, he worked harder to organize local guards to cooperate with the soldiers to suppress the bandits. This time, I heard that there was a big fish hidden in Zhajiezhugu County, Nedong, so I took 400 soldiers from the Junjunfu, 300 soldiers from the Nedong garrison camp, 300 soldiers from the Luoza garrison camp, and an additional 1,000 Nedong soldiers. The Xiangyong from He and Luozha Prefectures, with two thousand soldiers and horses, went into the mountains to sweep up.

However, what the soldier did not expect was that not only Basang Wangbu, the Fatai of Zedang Monastery, was hidden in the ancient mountains of Zhajiezhu, but also Shannan rebel commander Dubu, deputy commander Rumei Saipo, and their Ten thousand elite soldiers.

Rumesepo stood on the mountain overlooking the valley, waiting for the prey to enter the net, with a pair of tiger eyes that were not angry. As a famous general in Bhutan, he twice repelled the attacks of Karma Kagyu Zangpa Khan Tengyong Wangpo on Bhutan and preserved Drukpa Kagyu's rule in Bhutan. Because of his great reputation, the rebel commander Du Bu took the initiative to ask him to be the commander of this battle.

However, the idea of ​​setting up an ambush here was not his idea, but the idea of ​​Pasang Wangpo, the Fatai of Zedang Monastery. Although this monk was not very old, he was very resourceful and had various conspiracies and schemes, which caused a lot of hardships to the guards who came to encircle and suppress him. The longest thing in the world is waiting. Time passed moment by moment, but there was still no sign of the guards. Lumesepo was a little anxious and said to Pasang Wangbu with a smile: "Although your strategy is good, I'm afraid the guards will be killed." The military may not be fooled.”

"If you want to take something first, you must give it first. In order to make them believe it, I gave up a camp, a barn, and the lives of three slaves," Pasang Wangbu smiled.

"Here we come! The guards are here!" Old Dubu came to the two of them panting, holding a wooden stick.

Lumesepo and Basang Wangbu looked down the mountain and saw a long snake appearing in front of the valley.

The guards arrived at the entrance of the valley. There were hundreds of fierce bandits guarding the entrance. When they saw them, they shouted and fought out.

"Shoot for me," Sakyamuni Gyatso snorted coldly, and the arrows flew in all directions, knocking down all of them immediately.

The bandits made a great noise and fled.

"Humph", Sakyamuni Gyatso smiled contemptuously and ordered the pursuit.

He chased deeper and deeper until he reached the exit. Suddenly, they found that the exit had been blocked by trees and rocks. Densely dense rebel flags appeared on the mountains on both sides of the valley. Countless rocks and logs rolled down from the top of the mountain, and bullets rained down from them.

"No, I've fallen into a trap! Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Shakya Gyatso angrily gave Qu Lige a whip and led his army back.

On the mountain, Rumesebo saw clearly and laughed loudly, "The fish has been caught in the net, can it still escape?"

The command flag was waved, and three thousand well-trained Bhutanese troops blocked the entrance. No matter how hard the guards charged, they could not get out.

The flag was moved again, and the rebels launched a full-line assault.

"Tell the men to fight quickly. The battle must be over in half a day." After saying this, Rumesebo picked up his sword and went into battle to kill him.

In less than half a day, the battle in the valley was over. Sakyamuni Gyatso, a member of Uszang's army, Quli Gelie, the prefect of Naidong, and two thousand of his subordinates were laid to rest in the valley. When the Guards reinforcements arrived, they only found bodies lying on the ground.
