Chapter 361: The Perfect Scapegoat
Looking at the leading monk who had escaped from the range of his bow and arrow, Dorda did not order the pursuit, and in his heart it was not a big deal to run away from a monk.
What's more, Dakshen seems to be injured a lot, and he can't let him, the general, personally lead people to chase a monk! Dorda shook his head and thought: "Forget it, let you live a few more days, one day even this Tubo belongs to our Mongol Empire, not to mention a little monk, isn't there a saying that 'a monk can't run the temple if he can run', and he will be cleaning you up when the time comes." ”
"General, it has been confirmed under the tree that there are indeed our stolen horses in the group of monks!" a personal soldier led several horses to Dalda's side, lifted the saddle, raised the horses' hooves and asked Dalda to check the special markings on the horses.
"Damn! Sure enough, it's them! These monks are getting more and more arrogant! I didn't really believe the rumors that they disobeyed our Mongol Empire and intended to resist Tianwei, but now seeing is believing, it seems that in recent years, we have shifted our attention to other battlefields, and have used very few troops in Tibet, so that these monks really think that this Tibet is still their world as before!" Dakshen walked over with his arms and said hatefully.
"Hmm!" Dorda snorted noncommittally, he knew in his heart that Kuoduan's attitude towards the Tubo tribes planned to surrender, so although today's incident annoyed him, he was not a person who disregarded the overall situation, and he would not directly define the attitude of all the people in the Tubo tribes because of a group of monks.
"This person has performed a secret technique to stimulate the potential in his body!" Elder Peng raised his faint eyes and said in a dumb voice as he watched the Mongolian soldiers bandaging the wounded, gathering the scattered horses, and burying the robes that had died in battle.
"Although this kind of secret technique has an amazing effect in a short period of time, it is extremely harmful to the body. I am afraid that after this battle, this person will be seriously injured if he does not die. Jiang Baishou shook his head and said with a little regret.
"Hehe! Dog-eat-dog!Why care!" Batu had already stepped forward to talk to Dalda. There was no one around. Elder Peng sneered at the corner of his mouth, and Jiang Baishou and Gong Qiang also laughed.
"How could it be such a coincidence, how could the horse they lost show up!" Jiang Baishou frowned and asked in a low voice, Elder Peng didn't explain in detail about Liu Shanglang and Tofu Xi Shi at that time, just smiled and said nothing, and asked them to wait and watch a good show.
Elder Peng looked at the people around and explained a few words in a low voice, which made Jiang Baishou and Gong Qiang suddenly realize, and called Elder Peng's plan too bad.
It turned out that Wu Xiuwen learned that there was a master horse trainer in Liu Shanglang's team that day, so he cooperated with them to steal seven or eight out of ten of Dalda's war horses, and took advantage of the little-known path to escape. Let Dakshen pursue them to no avail.
After that, Liu Xianglang followed Wu Xiuwen's instructions to find a scapegoat, and with the cooperation of the members of the local business alliance and the careful selection of Liu Xianglang and Tofu Xishi, he finally chose an excellent object.
That is today's group of monks, they are the lamas of a large lama temple not far from here, this temple can be regarded as the largest temple within a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is a holy place in the hearts of all believers in the vicinity.
And the leading monk who escaped was the chief disciple of the temple master, a well-known monk in the vicinity, but behind the scenes, this person was a tyrannical and murderous demon, with many evil deeds on his body, and it was difficult to write. And this person's origin is not simple, and there are big people behind him. Even the temple master named his master was also polite to him.
This lama temple has a huge property, there are hundreds of horses in the temple alone, and the tenants who raise horses are members of the merchant alliance, so they pinched the opportunity to change a few Mongolian war horses into the horse herd unconsciously.
And calculated the date when the leading monk came to pick up the horse and go out, deliberately chatted with the little novice, and said that he had recently seen a group of Mongolian soldiers in Tubo who were arrogant and evil, and robbed a lot of people's property, there were inns and big households, and even one or two small temples were also robbed by them with excuses, and the words were very disrespectful to the Buddha, and they also scolded the living Buddhas of the high monks in Tibet, saying that sooner or later these high monks and living Buddhas would dare to go down to the altar and sincerely obey the Mongolian Empire.
"Coincidentally" the monk who heard these words was furious, but he was helpless, and after mentioning the horses mixed with Mongolian war horses prepared for him by the tenant, he went out with a team of junior brothers and nephews.
Unexpectedly, he "happened to meet" the group of Mongolian soldiers in the suspected tenant household on the road, and with the mentality that more things are better than less, the leading monk did not mean to greet the other party and directly urged the horse to pass by.
Unexpectedly, the horses in the team attracted the attention of Dakshen, and the Mongolian horses were stolen and were nesting, and when they saw that the thieves dared to ride swaggering beside them, they galloped beside them, and the leading monk was resentful of the Mongol team because of what he had heard before.
As soon as Dakshen mentioned that the horses were stolen by the Mongolian team, the leading monk subconsciously thought that this was the Mongolian Tartars looking for an excuse to rob their horses, so the two sides naturally fought without speculation, and it became the current situation.
"What if the leading monk can't run out and die here?" Meng Yao asked curiously.
"That's okay, at this moment in the far woods there are several groups of traders resting in it, and many of them are devout religious believers who have a lot to do with the lama temple. Even if the leading monk can't escape, they will bring what they have seen and heard today back to the lama temple. Wu Xiuwen smiled, "It's not bad that person escaped, this news is better if he brings it back personally, and he uses secret techniques to stimulate his potential, and he is hit by Dorda's arrow, I'm afraid he won't live long!
"General, only a very small part of our lost war horses here, and the rest are still missing, should we follow the trend and return all the war horses?" Dakshen had already bandaged at this moment, and said angrily.
"No wonder we couldn't find any clues at that time, it turned out that this group of thieves and monks stole our war horses! They are the head snakes here, if they hadn't happened to meet them today, I'm afraid we would never have known that they stole the horses!" Lord Batu also spoke at the right time.
"As soon as they saw that we were in a hurry to leave without saying a word, they were obviously thieves!" said Suhebamon.
The more you analyze what you say, the more you analyze it, the more it looks like that, which makes the three Elder Peng who were listening next to them laugh and cramp alone.
"Lord Batu, the Tibetan lamas and those believers are all fanatical about revenge, will killing so many lamas today cause them to retaliate!"
"This! General Dalda, look......" Batu was a little uneasy when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at Dalda.
Dorda was also a little relieved in his heart, he was deeply aware of the difficulties of fanatical believers, and after thinking for a while, he beckoned to his two personal soldiers and said, "You two hurry up and go back and transfer another elite team of 100 people!" (To be continued......
