Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 378 Peace comes to Altai (Part )
"Uncle, we plan to go back and report your three conditions to the Great Khan, so we came here to say goodbye." Babu respectfully stated his intention.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we really don't want to see fighting between Oirat and Khalkha, and we are eager to achieve peace as soon as possible," Hang Tudai also said.

"Oh, my good nephew and respected Hang Tudai Taiji, why did he leave right after he came? But didn't I entertain him well?" Sultan said angrily: "How did those officials in the Ministry of Rites work as errands? I want to Removed them from their posts."

"No, uncle, the officials entertained us very well, but the war is still going on, so we don't dare to delay."

Hearing what Babu said, Sultan nodded slightly, "You have a temper like mine, and you are impatient. Let's do this. I will give you five days, and the guards will not attack Khalkha within five days. It is war or peace, so let Su Buddy made the decision early."

"I hope I don't have to fight with my uncle," Babu sighed.

"Thank you for your warm hospitality, Your Majesty. I will take my leave. Please be kind to my ignorant third brother." Hang Tudai also bowed and said goodbye.

"What? You're not taking Gon Buyilden with you?" Suletan said in a surprised tone.

"Your Majesty, you mean that I can take my third brother back to Khalkha? He doesn't have to stay here as a hostage?" Hang Tudai's heart was beating wildly.

"hostage?"

Suletan sneered, "David's cavalry has always won by bravery, so what's the use of having hostages? Besides, do you think Zasak Tuhan cares about the life and death of a mere Gonbu Ilden? Take your brother away, he There is no use staying here with me." When he said this, his tone was full of the confidence of a strong man.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hang Tudai was shocked again, this time not because of the strength of the guards, but because of the broad mind of the other party. The monks of the Nyingma sect all said that this man was the physical manifestation of their ancestor Padmasambhava. Is it true? With a grateful heart, he sincerely thanked the emperor.

"When you go back, tell your brother Ombu Erdeni that Oirat people are both hospitable and aggressive. I hold a wine bowl in my left hand and a sword in my right hand. I hope he will accept my wine instead of my sword."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After returning to the camp, Babu, Hangtudai, and Gonbuyilden first went to meet the leader of the Khalkha Mongolia, Zhasak Tuhan Subadi.

Hearing them talk about the strength of the Guards, Subadi fell into deep thought; after hearing that the other party required Khalkha to surrender, sign an offensive and defensive alliance, and increase treaty ports, he sneered again and again. Sultana boy is Xiangzhuang's sword dance, aiming at Pei Gong. It is obvious that he is preparing for a war with the Qing Dynasty. So crazy! However, they occupied some remote places and wanted to challenge the military power of the Eight Banners. Should I temporarily agree to show my arrogance and let them fight with each other while the Khalkha fishermen benefit?
Seeing that he was silent, Hang Tudai continued to report, "Great Khan, we waited in the guard camp and heard that their 70,000 Eastern Route Army had surrounded the remaining Chuhu'er Ubashi tribe in Junggar. Once the Chuhu'er Ubashi tribe was eliminated, , this army will move to Mobei. By then, the number of guards at the northern foot of the Altai Mountains will have increased to more than 200,000, making it impossible to defeat the enemy. I think we should negotiate peace as soon as possible before the Eastern Route Army arrives."

"Two hundred thousand?"

Subadi shook his head, "I never believe that boy Suletan would send out so many troops. Isn't he afraid that the Qing army would set out from Shaanxi to take away his home base? Huh, the guard troops on the opposite side are up to 100,000, even if you add other The Eastern Route Army is estimated to be only around 150,000 to 60,000 people." Although he was cunning, he still underestimated Sultan's audacity. At this time, there were only more than 37,000 guards at the foot of the Altai Mountains.

"Great Khan", Babu, Hang Tudai, and Gunbu Yildun wanted to persuade again, Subadi waved his hand, "This is a serious matter. I will convene all the ministries to discuss the matter tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work, Let’s go back to our headquarters to rest first.”

"Yes!"
Hangtudai and Gonbuyilden returned to the military camp of Tuohite. When he saw that his third brother was still alive, Ombu Erdeni was filled with sorrow and joy. "Blessed by the immortal God, my third brother is still alive. It's so great! By the way, where have you been these days?"

"Brother, it's hard to explain in words! After the defeat in Altay that day, I was captured by the Guards. Fortunately, my second brother was sent to the Guards Camp as an envoy, and Emperor Qianyuan of the Guards just released me," Gonbuyilden cried.

"Were you released by Sultan? He is good at attacking people's hearts." Ombul Erdeni frowned and asked his two brothers in a deep voice: "According to your observations, what kind of person is that kid?" ?”

"Brother, I feel that His Majesty Emperor Qianyuan is broad-minded and tolerant, resolute and ruthless in his actions. He is indeed an unprecedented hero in Mongolia," Hang Tudai said.

"Second brother is right. Every time I see His Majesty, it's like seeing a mountain. I feel admiration for him without knowing it," Gon Buyileden also said.

"Hmph! It seems that this kid is really a character." Ombul Erdenis thought for a while and said: "It is easy to increase treaty ports, and it is not difficult to make Khalkha become a vassal. However, it is difficult for the two sides to sign an offensive and defensive alliance. You guys have suffered a lot from the Qing army in recent years, and you don't dare to offend the Qing country easily."

"Yes, this article must be revised by them, and the "Mongolia-Oirat Code" should still be used as the common military operation guidelines," Hang Tudai agreed.

Ombul Erdeni stared at his second brother closely, "Go to the guard camp. Did that boy Suletan mention the gold mine in the Altai Mountains?"

Hang Tudai blushed and said, "My little brother saw that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry. Besides, how could he be willing to spit out the meat that reached his mouth? So I didn't dare to mention it."

"Absurd! The gold mines in the Altai Mountains were obtained by me and the Tohuite tribe after many battles. How can we hand them over to others?" Erdeni said angrily: "I will definitely mention this matter when the tribes discuss it tomorrow. . If Sultan refuses to return it, I swear to fight him to the end!"

"My son is going to the guard camp. How will His Majesty Emperor Qianyuan treat you?" Chechen Khan Shuolei asked his son Babu.

"My uncle treats the child with great courtesy. He actually welcomes the child personally, greets the child with greetings, and shows great concern. It's just~"

"Just what?"

"It's just that he gave the child such great courtesy in front of everyone, which inevitably made other departments suspicious of our Chechens. The child felt that this was a trick of his uncle, and he wanted to force my Chechen ministry to surrender to David," Babu analyzed.

"My son has grown up! Indeed, your uncle took charge of the army at the age of thirteen. In just nineteen years, he defeated all the heroes and unified Oirat. How could he not have scheming and means?" Shuolei sighed: "But now we have no choice. In the past, my father had offended the Qing Dynasty by following Lin Dan Khan. Two years ago, he supported the Sunit tribe to fight against the Qing Dynasty, which became a thorn in their side. Now the Qing Dynasty is concentrating on dealing with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty and cannot take care of Mobei. If If you don’t plan ahead, quickly find a backer for yourself. After they pacify the south, our Chechen tribe will be in great danger!"

"My son understands and will help his father to help Khalkha return to the defense," Babu said with emotion.
