Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 586: We are both fallen people at the end of the world (Part )
"Have you checked clearly? Is this really Norbu's body?" Looking at the scarred body in front of him, Gunbu couldn't believe it.

"It's absolutely true. Someone saw him fall from his horse here with his own eyes. I asked his personal guards to identify him carefully and confirm that he was him." Ayoubai arched his body like a hill and said with a flattering smile.

"Well, you did a great job," Gunbu praised him loudly, but suddenly felt a little sad, "Someone, please bury Norbu Khan alive."

After such a huge victory, Gunbu could not immediately pursue the remaining enemies. First, he injured 10,000 enemies and 8,000 himself, especially Norbu's desperate counterattack before his death, which caused huge losses to him and required time to rest and replenish; secondly, this battle captured a wealth of food, grass, weapons, and war horses. The piles are piling up and it takes time to divide the loot.

Among the many trophies, the most attractive thing to Gunbu was the more than 10,000 prisoners captured. According to the "Mongol-Oirat Code", nobles cannot be sold as slaves. They will continue to be captives, waiting for their families to pay a ransom for redemption; while other prisoners of war will be used as slaves to compensate for population losses. In the vast and sparsely populated Mobei, population is an important condition for hegemony.

Gunbu was thinking about his next plan when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the tent. "What's going on?" he asked with a frown.

"The Great Khan, Bentar, Benbashixi, Jamusu, and Erlinqin are the four Taijis asking for an audience. They seem to have come for the death of Lahuli Taiji," said Hala, the chief of the Qianhu household in charge of the guards. Huli reported.

"Oh," Gunbu stroked his beard thoughtfully, and then said after a while: "Let them come in."

Four auspicious items entered the account, and all of them looked sad and angry.

When he saw these four nephews, Gunbu's eyes immediately became wet, "Four nephews, your fathers and brothers died in bloody battles for the Tuxie Tube. They are good people and are the heroes of the Tuxie Tube." After saying that, he kept wiping his tears, feeling inexplicable grief.

"Great Khan, Chakhudolji Hutaiji was not far away from my father at that time. Why didn't you send troops to rescue me?" Lahuli's eldest son Bentar asked angrily.

"I have asked Chahu Dorji about this matter. At that time, Zasaktu's army went crazy to break out of the encirclement. He was too overwhelmed to take care of himself and could not ask for help. La Huli is my biological brother and Chahu Dorji's relative. Uncle, we are all a family, and we will never leave him alone." Gunbu defended his son with red eyes, looking extremely aggrieved, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Hmph!" Bentar snorted coldly and said faintly: "Khan, you know that we are charging at the front in this battle and have suffered the most casualties. The ten thousand warriors are now less than five thousand."

"I know~I know~" Gunbu burst into tears, picked up the brush, and wrote a line of words: "Prioritize the four Taijis of Bentar, Benbashixi, Jamusu, and Elinqin."

"Here, you take my handwriting to the Quartermaster, and he will distribute the spoils to you first."

Si Taiji looked at each other and walked towards the rear army. After seeing Gunbu's handwriting, the quartermaster's attitude was very polite, with a flower piled up on his fat face, but the supplies allocated were pitiful.

"What's going on? More than 30,000 war horses were captured in this battle, why were we only given 2,000?" Bental asked angrily. "My dear Tai Jilie, you know that horses can run with long legs. In fact, only four thousand horses were captured, definitely not 30,000. Because of the decree of the Great Khan, half of them were given to "You", the fat army commander smiled charmingly, his eyes wandering around.

"Nonsense! It's obviously 30,000 horses," Ben Bashxi retorted angrily, but Ben Tal stopped him, "What about the prisoners? There are obviously more than 10,000 captives, why are we only given 1,500 slaves? ?”

"What you don't know is that this time Zasak's tribe is moving in full force, and most of them are noble children with complete armor. They cannot be slaves and can only be redeemed or killed. The rest are under the command of the lower officials. The casualties are distributed proportionally. As you know, the casualties of each department in this battle are heavy. But please don't worry, if the ransom is received later, the subordinate will allocate it to you in time."

Armor, weapons, firearms, food, gold, silver, and jewelry, etc., were all "taken care of" by Si Tai Ji and were greatly disappointed.

"Brother, uncle has no good intentions and wants to weaken us." "Yes, there is a big discrepancy between the accounts of the seized materials and the actual situation." "We can't just let it go. We have to seek justice from uncle." Bemba Shixi, Jamusu, and Elinqin were furious.

"Justice? Whoever has the toughest knife will deserve justice." Bental looked at the three younger brothers silently and said word by word: "The uncle is powerful, so I will bear with today's matter for the time being. The second brother and the fourth brother , the fifth brother, Eqi Ge and the third brother died in the battle. From now on, the four brothers of ours must work together to advance and retreat together, and we must not be instigated by traitors."

"Yes, brother", the three brothers replied in unison.

We are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we have known each other before. The four Taijis are weak and destitute, but they are by no means the only two destitute people in the world. The two envoys sent by the Qing Dynasty to Khalkha: Tatala Sunahai, a bachelor of Hongwen Academy, and Dong'e Luoshuo, minister of Dali Temple, also had a difficult life.

The dignified imperial envoy represents the emperor, so why should he be so poor? It's all because the flag they entered was not good. The Manchurian Zhengbai Banner, if it were during the Dorgon period, would have been powerful and powerful, but in the Shunzhi period of the little master, not to mention the power, it was lucky to save his head! Fortunately, there was a strong enemy, David State, in the west, and there was a famous Nikan king named Li Dingguo in the south. When the court was recruiting people, it no longer looked at Dorgon's remnants, and the lives of the officials of the two white banners became easier.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor had foresight. Although they were deploying troops in the south, they did not ignore the north. After hearing about the battle in Mobei, they hurriedly sent envoys to maintain Manchuria's influence on Khalkha Mongolia and prevent the western defenders from attacking. The country took advantage of Manchuria's inability to look north to stir up trouble. It was bitter cold in Mobei and the folk customs were fierce. The dignitaries from the two yellow flags were afraid of hardship and tiredness and refused to go, so they had to choose two officials from the white flag to go.

Sunahai and Luo Shuo are both about forty years old. They are in their prime. What others see as hard work is an opportunity for them. News came out from the palace that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were extremely concerned about the affairs in Mobei. If they could handle the matter well, why worry about being promoted and making a fortune? So the two of them received the envoy and hurried from Beijing to Mobei, just in time to catch up with the battle between the Tuxie Tube and the Zasak Tube in Erdeni.

The night in Mobei was extremely cold. The elegant Luo Shuo ordered people to light up the stove in the tent and read at night with a book. He once entered the Pass through Long, and followed Prince Duanzhong Bolo to suppress Jiang Yu's rebel army. His hands were stained with the blood of Nikan (Han people), but he preferred to read Nikan's books. This is closely related to the fact that he has been stationed in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Huzhou for five or six years. The soft beauty of the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River made Jiujiu Wufu become elegant. Three years later, his daughter Dong E entered the palace and favored the harem, and his life became easier. Now, he is just a criminal who was defeated in the Hunan expedition and was deprived of the title of Ashani Hafan.

While he was reading a book, Sunahai with a full beard broke in. Because he had been a guard of Prince Rui's Mansion, his life was also difficult, so he went to Mobei with Luo Shuo as an envoy to find a way out.

"Brother Luo Shuo, I just got the news that Zasaktu's tribe was defeated and Norbu Bixi Jiletu was killed in battle."
