The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 790 Surrender
At this time, Luorong Dengba in Lhasa, after receiving the news that Nagqu had been captured by soldiers from the Central Plains, immediately became distraught.

You must know that the distance from Nagqu to Lhasa is almost invincible. As long as the Central Plains soldiers get Nagqu, they will soon reach the city of Lhasa.

Lurong Dengba himself is a master of six gods, but he still has a few smart people under his command. All these people think that Western Tibet cannot stop the attack of the Central Plains people.

Now there are two roads in front of them. One is to continue to resist. If they are not opponents, they will retreat steadily, and finally retreat to the snow mountain to fend for themselves.

The second is to surrender immediately in exchange for the forgiveness of the Central Plains people, even if the property cannot be preserved in the end, and one's own life will not be affected.

After weighing the pros and cons, these people feel that the first option is a dead end. They are all pampered and fled to the Daxue Mountain. In that harsh environment, there are no beauties and wine, and they have to fight against nature. I'd rather die.

Only Article 2, although they heard that the Central Plains people came all the way, killed all the nobles and living Buddhas, and distributed the land to the farmers.

But as long as I surrender in advance, the other party has no reason, so I will kill all my people. Otherwise, whoever dares to surrender in the future will lose the land at most. However, I heard that the Central Plains people do not have any occupation of the shops. Shops in the city of Lhasa can also live a carefree life.

After discussing together, these people spoke to the living Buddha Lurong Dengba, asking the living Buddha to go in person and surrender to the Central Plains army for the sake of the suffering of the people.

When the living Buddha Lurong Dengba saw this situation, he was annoyed at the time. You people were the ones who came up with the idea when we were going to fight against the Central Plains. You pushed me out. Now when I am in a dilemma, you make me surrender again. , what is the reason?
So the living Buddha Lurong Dengba immediately became angry and ordered the soldiers to put all those who came to persuade them in prisons, and after listening to them, the living Buddha ordered all the generals in the voice to discuss the matter together.

During this meeting, the living Buddha Lurong Dengba did not follow the advice of his subordinates as before, and directly ordered all the serfs to distribute weapons and go to Lhasa city to defend the city together, to fight to the death with the Central Plains people.

And the generals below looked at each other in blank dismay. They were very proud at first, but as the war continued, we realized that these subordinates of ours were simply incomparable with the soldiers of the Central Plains.

It was these people who had given up their thoughts of fighting a long time ago, and now they heard that the Living Buddha wanted them to fight to the death with the Central Plains people, and they were unwilling in their hearts.

But looking at the eyes of the living Buddha sitting on it, his eyes were already red and his teeth were gritted, he knew that if someone dared to object, he might not be able to leave this hall alive.

So these people had no choice but to kneel down against their will and praise Lurong Dengpa Rinpoche together.

Lurong Dengba Living Buddha was satisfied with this, and then ordered them to go out immediately to rectify the troops and strengthen their defenses, so that Lhasa City must not fall into the hands of the Central Plains people.

After the generals left the main hall, they each had their own calculations in their minds. If they said they were going to fight, they would not be able to beat the Central Plains people, but if they were going to give up resistance, the Living Buddha stared at them again.

So these people started to join forces in secret again. This time they didn't want to persuade the Living Buddha, but they wanted to lead the army to imprison the Living Buddha Lurong Dengba, and then surrender to the Central Plains people.

If it is something like imprisoning the living Buddha, the nobles in western Tibet have done it not once or twice. As long as the living Buddha is not killed, it will be nothing in the end.

So that night, these generals who opposed the battle led their soldiers and horses to surround the living Buddha's palace, and then broke in without any explanation.

The soldiers guarding the living Buddha's palace were also heroic. They were fanatics who had been brainwashed by religion.

But the difference in numbers was too great. Although these guards fought desperately, they were quickly killed by the generals who attacked the palace.

When these generals broke into the Living Buddha's bedroom, the Great Living Buddha Lurong Dengba was lying in the arms of a woman trembling.

The things that came down were naturally easy to handle. These people imprisoned the Living Buddha in a side hall of the palace, and then sent someone to send a message to the Central Plains army, requesting surrender.

Xiao Yue originally thought that Lhasa, as the capital of western Tibet, would naturally have a bloody battle, but he did not expect that when his army was more than 100 miles away from Lhasa, he received a letter of surrender from the opposite side.

The letter of surrender is also very clear, that is, these generals in Lhasa are willing to surrender the city and hand over the living Buddha Lurong Dengpa, but there is only one requirement, that is, their lives must be preserved, and then their wealth in Lhasa must be preserved. , the Central Plains people must also ensure that Qiu will not commit any crimes.

Xiao Yue thought about it for a while, and felt that he could not fully agree to their demands, after all, this kind of thing required bargaining.

So Xiao Yue wrote back to these generals, these nobles must hand over all your land to the farmers for farming.

As for their property in the city, as well as shops, Xiao Yue can guarantee that they will still belong to their private property.

After these generals in Lhasa got a reply from Xiao Yue, they discussed carefully for a while and felt that this condition was acceptable.

Because these people have already inquired clearly, the policies that Xiao Yue has implemented since entering Tibet, they have long since given up hope for the land.

These people did not dare to delay, because Xiao Yue changed his mind for fear of a long delay, so he immediately sent messengers to Xiao Yue's camp again.

Xiao Yue met the messengers in the big tent of the Chinese army. After knowing that the generals in the middle city of Lhasa had agreed to hand over all the land in exchange for the safety of the shops and family members in the house, Xiao Yue was naturally lenient to these people. The courier promised that as long as the land was handed over, he would not commit any crime against the city of Lhasa.

The messenger returned to Lhasa City again, and told the generals about Xiao Yue's promise. After getting the promise, these people no longer had the intention of resisting.

So when Xiao Yue's army came to the city of Lhasa, they saw that the gates on all sides of Lhasa city were open, and the people coming and going did not look like they were about to fight at all.

Instead, a group of nobles from western Tibet stood in front of the west gate, and they all came to welcome Xiao Yue's army.

Under the leadership of these nobles, Xiao Yue entered the city of Lhasa and directly came to the palace of the Living Buddha Lurong Dengba.

When Xiao Yue met the Great Living Buddha and saw his embarrassed appearance, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Great Living Buddha, do you know this general?"

Lurong Dengba Rinpoche took a look at Xiao Yue, and then said dejectedly: "You should be the commander of the Central Plains army by your attire."

"You still have some eyesight, how about it? Now that you are my prisoner, do you still want to resist our Celestial Dynasty?"

Hearing this, the great living Buddha showed a cowardly look in his eyes. Finally, he suddenly knelt in front of Xiao Yue, weeping bitterly and said: "I am originally a living Buddha conferred by the heavenly court, and I am devoted to the heavenly court with all my heart. The generals are also too big-hearted, they pushed me out, and used my name to contend against the Celestial Empire, I am completely their puppet, and please be magnanimous and spare my dog's life."

Xiao Yue looked at this living Buddha kneeling on the ground and shook his head. When these people faced the serfs, they were so greedy and cool that you couldn't even imagine how vicious they were.

I didn't expect to be so weak now.

Xiao Yue was not in the mood to chatter with him anymore, so he left the prison cell, returned to the main hall, and then summoned the generals under his command, as well as the Tibetan nobles who had surrendered.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiao Yue said to the following: "Now the Great Living Buddha in Western Tibet has been captured by us, I think the matter in Western Tibet will end soon, and now it's time to consider the aftermath. .How should we deal with this Great Living Buddha?"

The generals under Xiao Yue shook their heads after hearing this, they are not good at this kind of thing.

But the nobles who surrendered and came over exchanged glances. They didn't want to save the living Buddha's life, on the contrary, they wanted the living Buddha to reach bliss sooner.

Because the influence of this living Buddha in Tibet is really too great, if he survives this time, will it be good for them in the future?

So these Tibetan nobles who surrendered said to Xiao Yue, "This Great Living Buddha in Western Tibet has too much influence. If he is not effective in ruling the Central Plains Celestial Dynasty in Western Tibet, it is better to let him ascend to bliss early."

The ideas of these people happened to coincide with Xiao Yue's. Xiao Yue thought that this was to control Western Tibet, rather than make Western Tibet a semi-independent kingdom as before. obstacles.

but.Xiao Yue still couldn't openly say that he wanted to kill this living Buddha, he could only show embarrassment, noncommittal.

It should be said that these princes and nobles in western Tibet are not very capable in fighting, but they are very good at observing words and demeanor.

When they saw Xiao Yue's face, they knew that this great general wanted the Great Living Buddha to ascend to heaven, but also didn't want to get a bad name.

So one of the princes and nobles, Zhaxi Qucuo, stood up and said to Xiao Yue: "General Marshal, I heard that the Great Living Buddha has practiced Powa method to a very advanced level. I think this Great Living Buddha. After this If you already feel world-weary, you will soon practice the Powa method to return to bliss, so why not let me persuade the Great Living Buddha to let the Great Living Buddha go on his way early."

When Xiao Yue heard it, he naturally agreed, and at the same time, he also remembered this Tashi Qucuo. Since he has passed the nomination certificate, he can be assigned some positions with real power in Tibet in the future, which can be considered as a gift for him. award.

After the adjournment of this meeting, the Great Living Buddha Lurong Dengba went to Powafaden to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss that night because he hated the sufferings of the world.

On the second day, after Xiao Yue heard the news, he sighed for a while to the princes and nobles in western Tibet, "The general wanted to let the living Buddha return to the temple after the chaos was quelled, but he didn't expect the living Buddha to return to the temple." The practice of Buddhism is so profound that the people who abandoned western Tibet returned to bliss.”
