Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 323: Let’s do Ban Dingyuan once (Part )

On the mountains on both sides of the canyon on the north bank of the Bukhtarma River, Sonom Celing lurked here with eighty of his warriors, all of his entourage from various ministries in the Irtysh and Ob river basins. Although the number is small, they are all warriors carefully selected from the tribe.

During this visit to the Nine Tribes of Turgut, Emogen, Shangdu Batur and others have always had vague attitudes. This is a dangerous sign, which means that they do not want to rebel against Junggar and surrender, and it also means that they and others may be sent to the city of Hoboksali at any time as a gift from the Turgut people to express their loyalty.

After receiving the letter sent by Orros on a fast horse, Sonom Celing immediately realized his dangerous situation. The Turghut people have been so indifferent even before the Dzungar envoy arrived. If we wait for the Dzungar envoy to arrive, I'm afraid we will all be captured!
As the most beloved son of Daleitaish, who is proficient in Chinese culture, Sonom Celing has read Chinese books since he was a child and can write Chinese characters. Bogutong is now like him, and he thinks of Ban Chao in dangerous moments. I remember that when Ban Dingyuan went to Shanshan as an envoy, the king of Shanshan was just beginning to be respectful and prepared, but the Xiongnu envoys became indifferent as soon as they arrived. A large group of soldiers from Dingyuan led only thirty-six people to attack and kill the Xiongnu envoys, and forced King Shanshan to surrender to the Han Dynasty.

Such a small number of people can conquer more than fifty countries in the Western Region with only a few soldiers and horses for such a big thing. He is really a brave and iron-clad man! Hearing the story of Ban Chao when he was a child, Sonomu Celing admired him very much and regarded him as his hero. Now that I am facing a similar situation, I want to imitate it and make a trip to Ban Dingyuan myself.

So he gathered eighty of his followers, roasted fat lambs, filled them with mellow wine, drank and sang loudly. When he was half drunk, he burst into tears.

"Deputy Qianhu, what's wrong with you?" All the subordinates were frightened.

"Alas! I brought you to submit to David because I wanted to find a way out for my sons. I also wanted to earn some merit when I went on this mission. We all worked together to find a wife and a shadow. But I didn't expect that the merit was not achieved. But my life is about to be lost. It’s not a pity to kill me, but it’s a pity that everyone has been implicated!”

After hearing this, everyone panicked and asked, "Why did you say this?"

"During these days, you must have seen that the Nine Troops of Torgut are not enthusiastic about us, and it may be difficult to complete this mission." Sonom Ce Ling paused slightly, "I just received the news from Orros The letter sent from Taiji said that the Junggar envoy was on his way to the Nine Tribes of Torgut. Before the envoy came, they had treated us rudely; once the envoy arrived, the Torgut people kidnapped us and sent us away. When we go to Hobokseri, won’t we all become the prey of jackals? It’s me who has caused trouble for everyone! Woo~woo~woo~”

This crying messed up everyone's mood. Everyone left the table and knelt down to plead, "We are in a critical situation now, whether it is life or death. We are willing to listen to the orders of Qianhu, the deputy capital."

"Okay! If you want to leave the tiger's den, you must kill its envoys. The only way now is to ambush the Junggar envoys. If they can kill the Junggar envoys and cut off the retreat of the Torgut tribe, they will not be able to surrender even if they don't surrender." Suo Suo Nom Cering chuckled, "I have ordered people to find out clearly. There is a canyon on the north bank of the Buchtarma River, which is the nearest passage to the Torgut tribe's pasture. I estimate that they will definitely enter through this. We will ambush you there when the time comes.”

A strong wind blew in the canyon on the north bank of the Buchtarma River. Time passed moment by moment, and still no one was seen. It seemed to be another peaceful day.

Sonomu Celing loosened his grip on the knife handle, took out the water bag, and took a sip of water.

"The deputy capital Qianhu is here," a follower ran over in a panic to report.

Sonomu Celing looked down and saw a group of men and horses looming in the canyon, with more than ten large carts inside, probably carrying gifts. Looking at his subordinates who were ambushing at the top of the mountain with swords, guns and crossbows, he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We will act as planned later."

Troos Denzin and his entourage walked into the canyon confidently and boldly. This area was the sphere of influence of Junggar. Normally there was nothing to worry about, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"Taiji, someone blocked the exit," the attendant reported.

"what!"

Danjin rushed to the exit and found piles of wood and rocks.

"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~" Rockets were shot down from the canyon, igniting the dry grass and dead branches at the bottom of the valley. The wind was very strong, it was a fire day, and the small canyon quickly turned into a sea of ​​​​fire.

Danjin finally understood what was wrong. On Mayday, where could there be so much hay and dead branches at the bottom of the valley? Soldiers were constantly on fire, and some were fainted by the thick smoke. "Quick, go back the way you came," he yelled, leading the survivors to the entrance.

Sonomu Celing led forty warriors from the top of the valley to the entrance, holding knives and guns and stabbing or hacking to death the Junggar people who tried to leave the valley.

Danjin pulled out the scimitar in his hand. He had followed his uncle Batur in many battles over the years. Naturally, the sword had drank human blood and was glowing with coldness. "Boom~boom~boom", there were three gunshots, and he felt a pain in his chest and fell off the horse helplessly. Sonomu Celing blew on the three-eyed gun tube in his hand, "This thing your Majesty gave you is really useful!"

"Taiji, Qianhu Sonomu Celing, the deputy capital of the Wei Kingdom, is asking for an audience." The personal guard reported to Emogen Taiji.

"Oh! I'm here to persuade you to surrender again. Just say that I'm not feeling well and it's inconvenient to meet you." Emogen waved his hand irritably.

"Sonom Celing said that he is not here to persuade you to surrender, but to give gifts to you and all the Taijis. He asked you to summon all the Taijis, and he has a big gift to give you."

"A big gift?"

Emogen sneered, does this person think that he can achieve his goal by giving us some gifts? I want to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

Emogen, Shangdu Batur, Shangkayi, Qingbatur, Kudet, Ayush, Mergen Cuonamu, Aldar, Morgan and Shuoqi Jiutaiji were sitting in the tent. , Sonomu Celing walked in calmly.

"I heard that your envoy gave us a gift, but I don't know what it is?" Shangdu Baturpi said with a smile.

"It's just a small gift, not a sign of respect." Sonomu Ce Ling gestured slightly, and his entourage brought one wooden box after another, a total of one hundred and two.

Emogen signaled the guards to open it.

"ah!"

With a scream, there were human heads inside the wooden box.

"What do you mean by this?" Even though Emogen was considered a veteran on the battlefield, he was a little surprised when he saw these scary heads.

"This is the head of Danjin, the envoy sent by Junggar to your tribe, and his 101 followers. They are all here."

"What!" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Sonomu Celing smiled and said, "This Danjin Taiji was the eldest nephew of Batur Hutaiji, and he died in your territory now. How do you explain to the Junggar people?"

"How dare you, Zhu Zi!"

Shangdu Batur drew his sword in anger and stared at Sonom Celing coldly, "If I kill you and offer your head to Junggar, the misunderstanding should be explained."

"Haha, I am just an unknown person in David, how can I compare with Danjin Taiji? Besides, I only left ten followers here, and I'm afraid they can't withstand the lives of more than a hundred people." Sonomu Ce Linghao Without fear, "Have you ever thought about why the Junggar people did not grant marriage before, but granted marriage to David when he married the Qing Dynasty? This shows that they are afraid of me, David. His Majesty, Emperor Qianyuan, will destroy the Junggar sooner or later. In this case , why don’t you all submit to the strong?”

Daring to kill people in other people's territory is actually an expression of confidence. Jiutaiji were captured by Sonomu Celing's murderous intent, and they all expressed their willingness to surrender.

The news reached Lhasa, and Sultan promoted Sonom Celing to the capital of Qianhu.
