Chapter 227: To Each His Own Strategy

"Pujue Temple" is also called "Guandi Temple", located in the south gate of the inner city of Hetuala, Jianzhou Jurchen worships Guan Yu very much, after moving to Hetuala City, Nurhachi built Guandi Temple in the year before the establishment of the Jin Kingdom (1615 AD), it is one of the seven temples in the early days of the Jin Kingdom, and it is also the first Guandi Temple in the Qing Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Every year on October 18, the annual festival will be held, and the temple fair will be held at the same time, when the incense is steaming, and the incense guests are crowded, and there is an endless stream.

After introducing the Pujue Monastery, Grand Lama Shahr continued: "After Dawarat arrived in Hetuara the day before, he sent people to search for the location of the Kangyur Bible. Just yesterday, the hard work paid off, he bought a welcoming monk in Pujue Temple, and learned from him that the Kangyur Bible had been quietly sent to Pujue Temple for storage, waiting to be unveiled at the New Year's Sacrifice Ceremony three days later!"

Luo Sigong said: "Since the Kangyur Bible has been invited to the Pujue Temple, that is to say, the Pujue Temple must be heavily defended and difficult to approach. If that's the case, there's basically no difference between stealing and robbing!"

Grand Lama Sha'er said in a deep voice: "What Lord Luo said is very true, according to the welcoming monk, the Pujue Temple has been closed since yesterday, and it is waiting for the New Year's Festival in three days. Moreover, the temple is now surrounded by hundreds of Jurchen soldiers, and there are many Zoroastrian shamans guarding the Bible in the temple, almost never leaving an inch, and it is quite difficult for people to steal the Bible without knowing it. ”

Gao Jie frowned and said, "So, there is only one way to attack?!"

Ji Tu snorted coldly and said: "My Mongolian Empire warriors are brave and resolute, not as cowardly as you and other southerners, even if the Pujue Temple is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, Longtan Tiger's Den, we will not hesitate to rush in to retrieve the Bible!"

Gao Jie didn't understand why this Tu Taiji was always targeting himself, and said with a smile: "That is, our Ming people have always acted cautiously and planned carefully, and they will not be reckless and send them to death in vain, because rash engagement, in our eyes, is not brave, but reckless, and even stupid!"

Tu Taiji pointed at Gao Jie and said angrily: "You, you... ”

Before he could finish "you", Gao Jie had already turned his head and smiled at Grand Lama Sha'er: "However, the kid thinks that you will never do this, master, you must have another plan, right?"

Grand Lama Sha'er clasped his palms and laughed: "Although the Marquis of Zhongyong is young, he is thoughtful and intelligent, and the old man has indeed made some plans for the current situation. ”

Luo Sigong said: "I want to hear about it!"

Grand Lama Shahr said: "This annual festival, because of the display of the Kangyur Bible, the scale of the ceremony is much larger than in previous years, therefore, the Jurchens specially invited many monks from the famous temples in Liaoyang City, such as Mituo Temple in Liaoyang City and Shenyang Chang'an Temple, to come to watch the ceremony, and these monks have also arrived in Hetuala one after another in recent days, and were arranged to stay in the wing room of Pujue Temple. Although these eminent monks may know each other, the monks who come with them do not know each other, which gives us a chance to infiltrate the Pujue Temple!"

Tu Taiji's eyes widened and said: "National Teacher, it turns out that you have already made up your mind, and with a plan, I thought that there was only one way to go!"

Grand Lama Sha'er smiled and said: "Gantu Taiji, I have only thought of this plan for a short time, and I have not thought it through, let alone finalized it, I am going to discuss and improve it with Lord Luo first, and then inform you, don't blame me!"

Zhentu Taiji nodded and said: "Before I left, my brother Khan told me that everything is subject to the arrangement of the national teacher, so I just have to obey the orders and complete the tasks assigned by the national teacher." The national teacher is exhausted, planning and scheming, and he only hates being born stupid, and he can't help each other, how can he blame you!"

Sha'er Grand Lama said: "With the help of three Taiji, Lao Gao's confidence has greatly increased, and with Lord Luo's master of the Ming Dynasty as the backup, although this trip is difficult, it can still be a fight!"

Luo Sigong asked: "Is the master planning to take people to disguise themselves as the entourage of senior monks, sneak into the Pujue Temple first, and steal the Bible with the camera?"

Grand Lama Sha'er said with a smile: "That's right, Lao Gu is a disciple of Buddhism, and he is even exempted from disguise, so we can sneak into the temple with the help of the welcoming monk, and strive to steal the Bible cleanly and evacuate as soon as possible without alarming the guards!"

Luo Sigong said: "This plan is indeed feasible, so what should we do to cooperate with the master's actions?"

Grand Lama Shahr said: "My plan is to sneak in tomorrow evening, Lord Luo can lead the Ming masters to lurk outside the temple to respond, if we are exposed, everyone should cooperate with the outside and rob the Bible; if we are lucky, the theft of the scriptures goes well, then when we come out safely, Lord Luo and I will leave Hetuara immediately, so as not to be noticed by the Jurchens, and it is not easy to get out!"

Luo Sigong nodded and said, "Okay! Master be careful tomorrow!"

The two sides discussed this plan carefully for a while, and then the Grand Lama Shahr said goodbye to Puttu Taiji and left.

Gao Jie frowned, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and then said, "Master Zongqing, uncle, why do I feel a little uncertain in my heart?"

Venerable Zongqing smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, why do you feel this way?"

Gao Jie said: "I can't say clearly, I always feel that something is not right! By the way, the Kangyur Bible is very important to the Mongols because they believe in Tibetan Buddhism. The Jurchens believe in shamanism, so is the Kangyur a dispensable thing for Nurhachi?"

Venerable Zongqing shook his head and said: "No, although the Jurchens now believe in shamanism, Nurhachi is a male lord who aims to conquer the world, in order to win over and conquer the Mongols, he has made great efforts to treat Tibetan Buddhism!"

"That's right!" Luo Sigong said, "Nurhachi is well aware of the importance of using Lamaism to pacify the Tibetan and Mongolian tribes and consolidate the Jin State's rule over the Liaodong region. In May of last year (1621), the Ganlu Darhan Nangsu Lama, who came to Mongolia from Tibet to preach, came to settle in the Jin Kingdom from Horqin, and was personally received and feasted by Nurhachi, and respected the teacher and provided for it, which made the Nangsu Lama very moved, and came to the Jin Kingdom many times, and decided to be buried in Liaodong after his death. At the end of last year, Lama Nangsu passed away, and Nurhachi laid his body outside the south gate of Liaoyang City. The Mongols saw what he had done to the Lama Nangsu, so for more than a year, many Mongol tribes who were at odds with Lin Dan Khan gradually attached themselves to or relied on the Jin State. And this time, on the occasion of the annual festival of Pujue Temple, it was widely advertised that the Kangyur, the bible of the Mongols, would be exhibited, and Nurhachi was definitely well-intentioned and attached great importance to it. ”

Gao Jie said leisurely: "Since Kangyur is so important to Nurhachi's plan, how can Master Sha'er's apprentice know about Xingzang in such a short period of time, and how can the Mongols easily sneak into the Pujue Temple and steal the Bible?

Luo Sigong and Venerable Zongqing glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled: "This kid doesn't know what is in his head, we can think of it, he hasn't fallen at all, no wonder these boys call him a freak!"

Venerable Zong Qing also laughed and said, "Gao Jie's little benefactor is extremely intelligent and quick-thinking, he is really a rare genius, how can he be called a freak!"

Gao Jie smiled bitterly: "It turns out that the second elder has a plan, but he is silent in his stomach, but let me get an axe in my class, and I am smiling and generous!"

Luo Sigong pulled Gao Jie to sit down and said, "We just had feelings at first, and we weren't sure if there was a problem here. Do you remember that I told you that in addition to our group, I also secretly brought some elite Jinyiwei with us and sent them to Liaodong? The Great Lama of Sha'er and they arranged for someone to be in the shadows, and we also had it! Although Kangyur arrived at Pujue Monastery, it seemed that it was carried out quietly, but not only did Grand Lama Sha'er easily get the news, but even my Jinyiwei also got the same information. This secret can no longer be called a secret now!"

Gao Jie exclaimed: "What Uncle Shi means is that Kangyur is actually a bait, and Pujue Temple is a trap laid by the Jurchens?!"

Luo Sigong said: "Although I can't be completely sure, the possibility is very high!"

Gao Jie hurriedly said: "Then why didn't you warn the Great Lama of Sha'er just now and ask him to revise the plan again?"

Luo Sigong shook his head and said: "First of all, we just feel it, and we are not sure; secondly, the Mongols are determined to obtain the Kangyur Bible, and Master Shahr and Gutu Taiji are all arrogant people and are quite wary of us. ”

Gao Jie pondered for a moment and agreed: "That's right, the Mongols have repeatedly emphasized that this operation is dominated by them, and we are only auxiliary, and once we interfere too much in their planned actions, it will be counterproductive." But are we just watching them fall into the trap of the Jurchens?"

Luo Sigong said: "This time, the Mongols should have brought a lot of masters in addition to the Sha'er Lama on the surface, if the Pujue Temple is really a trap, it is not easy to catch them all, at least it is difficult to do it in a short time." Once the operation fails and there is an abnormal movement in the temple, we can launch an attack outside the temple with the momentum of thunder, and I believe that it should not be a big problem to rescue them!"

Gao Jie said: "It seems that this is the only way!"

Luo Sigong said: "Archmage Drager has come to Hetuala, plus the Archmage Wumai and Zoroastrian masters who have been stationed here, as well as hundreds of soldiers who are brave and good at fighting, the strength of the Jurchens should not be underestimated. The Mongols have a number of masters such as the master and apprentice of the Great Lama of Shahr, and it is not easy to deal with them, and we are lurking behind us and acting when the opportunity arises, so this battle will not necessarily fall behind. The only thing the old man was worried about was the gang of men in black that Xiaojie had seen in Shenyang, why they came here and would stand on that side. As for the mysterious Archmage Dorozi, it is also a variable that is difficult to predict and control!"

Late at night, in the Jade Emperor Pavilion of Hetualane City, Archmage Wumai, dressed in red, and Archmage Drag, dressed in green robes, were arranging a case in the hall of the main hall. There were five middle-aged people at the bottom, four of them dressed in red shaman robes, and the remaining one wearing light helmets and light armor, and they sat upright without saying a word, respectfully.

Archmage Drager drank the hot tea in his cup in one gulp and said loudly, "Wumai, did you invite the old man here late at night just to drink tea?!"

Archmage Wumai smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and savored the sweetness that came out of his tongue before he said slowly: "Drage, you are still so impatient, but you have ruined my good tea!"

Archmage Drager snorted and said, "For the old man, drinking tea is better than drinking, I'm not as fake as you!"

Archmage Wumai didn't mind, and chuckled: "It's been a long time since Hetuara has had such an atmosphere of mountain rain and wind full of buildings, and many masters have gathered here, and it makes you excited to think about it, and you can't bear it. But the more this moment, the more the old man feels that he should calm down and deal with it calmly!"

Archmage Drager was in an unhappy mood, and said coldly: "You are the presiding officer of this matter, and you have a bottom in your heart, of course you are not in a hurry." So far, I don't even know about your plans and arrangements, and I can calm down to have a ghost!"

Archmage Wumai laughed, slowly finished the tea, put down the teacup, and then poured another cup of tea for Archmage Drag: "Old fellow, don't worry, listen to me one by one!" The Great Khan sent someone to send an urgent secret letter today, and someone from the Ming side came with news that the Mongols had sent the national teacher Shahr Grand Lama to ask the Emperor of the Apocalypse for help not long ago, and the commander of the Ming Jinyi Guard, Luo Sigong, should also come to Hetuara to help the Mongols seize the Kangyur Bible!"

When Archmage Drager heard this, he stood up and said, "I'll just say, that day in the Wu Haiping Mansion in Liaoyang, it must be Luo Sigong who fought with me!"

Archmage Wumai motioned for him to sit down, and then said, "Now that it has been confirmed, let's take this opportunity to catch them all!"

After Archmage Drager sat down, he glanced at Archmage Wumai suspiciously and asked, "Luo Sigong and Grand Lama Sha'er have outstanding martial arts, and they are not under us, are you so sure of this battle?!"

Archmage Wumai said: "Are you sure, you can listen to this game designed by me and the Great Khan!"
