Upon hearing this, the living Buddha showed a wry smile on his face, and then began to explain his experience in Nanjing City.

Including the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Ming's dictation on many matters on the plateau, the Emperor Ming's dissatisfaction with the teachings of Tantric Buddhism, etc...

Zhu Hongyu is portrayed as an arrogant, drunken and lustful man with a perverse and violent personality.

Of course, he did not explain that the reason why the Ming Dynasty sent troops to the plateau was because of the threat he posed to the Ming Emperor.

The Living Buddha is not stupid, he knows that some things are better left unsaid!

The atmosphere in the lobby was a little chaotic. Listening to the Living Buddha's explanation, many nobles and monks were filled with indignation.

I feel dissatisfied that I and others were despised by Ming Dynasty!

Seeing this, Dayan Khan also took a deep breath and spoke.

"Haha, let's leave it like this for now!"

"The mission is already in the past. The most important thing for our Khanate now is to discuss how to deal with the situation on the plateau after the defeat of Qamdo."

Dayan Khan did not expect that the vanguard of the Ming army would be so bold as to send troops to raid Lhasa after the battle of Qamdo.

But what he is now afraid of is that after the Battle of Qamdo, the Ming army will send its main force to attack the plateau.

When the time comes, once the main force of the Ming army reaches the plateau, the consequences will be disastrous!

Although the vastness of the plateau is conducive to the movement of cavalry, it should be noted that under the influence of the climate at the end of the Little Ice Age, most places on the plateau are not conducive to human survival.

On the current plateau, a large number of people are concentrated in low-lying river valleys and other places suitable for human survival.

For example, the city of Lhasa is located in the valley of the Brahmaputra River basin.

Once the Ming army sent troops to attack the valley, the space for the Khoshot Khanate to move in was actually not as big as imagined.

In other words, once it loses the essence of the area near Lhasa, the Khoshot Khanate will perish without a fight!

Because, except for this river valley near Lhasa, no other place can support the army of the Khoshot Khanate.

At that time, Tubo was able to grow big and protest against the Tang Dynasty, which was actually the destiny of the times.

When the Tang Dynasty and Tubo stood side by side, it was the sixth or seventh century when global temperatures were warming up. The climate on the plateau was very good, and horses could be raised and farmed in many places that now seem desolate.

In addition, Tubo had such a wise leader as Songtsen Gampo, and Tubo naturally became more independent.

However, after the demise of the Tubo Dynasty, no powerful political power emerged on the plateau, and it was almost completely reduced to a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty.

The fundamental reason also lies in the changes in plateau climate!

The global temperature has dropped and drastic climate changes have made large areas of land on the plateau desolate, with only a small number of river valleys suitable for human survival.

With just such a small river valley, it is impossible to give birth to a powerful political power!

The plateau naturally declined!

After hearing Dayan Khan's question, someone from below stood up and suggested.

"Great Khan, can our Khanate try to gather forces and send troops to regain Qamdo?"

"If we can recapture Qamdo, we can prove to the Ming Dynasty that the warriors of the Shuote Khanate and I are also capable of fighting."

"Only when the Khanate proves its strength can it gain more attention from the Ming Dynasty!"

"Only in this way can we truly gain peace!"

This nobleman's idea is actually very simple. To put it bluntly, if you want peace, you must first draw your sword.

You must let your enemies see how powerful you are, so that they will not dare to offend you easily.

Upon hearing this, Dayan Khan showed a thoughtful expression on his face, touched his chin and spoke.

"Well, that makes sense!"

However, the Living Buddha on the side stood up and expressed different opinions.

"Great Khan, this poor monk thinks this is impossible!"

"If our army marches into Qamdo now, it will only intensify the conflict between the Khanate and the Ming Dynasty."

"It may bring unpredictable consequences!"

Regarding Zhu Hongyu's temper, after experiencing the Nanjing Incident, the Living Buddha thought he had some understanding of it.

He can guarantee that after the Battle of Qamdo, it is still unknown whether the Ming army will send troops to attack the plateau in a large scale.

Then, after the Kashote Khanate sends troops to recapture Qamdo, the Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops.

Faced with such a bad-tempered Emperor of Heaven, the Living Buddha did not recommend that the Khoshot Khanate take the initiative to provoke him.

Because he knew that if they pissed off the Ming Emperor again, the matter would really be irreversible.

When Dayan Khan heard this, his face showed a serious expression.

However, before Dayan Khan could make up his mind, he saw a personal guard of the Great Khan running in from outside.

The guard's face was full of fear and anxiety as he stumbled into the lobby.

With a pop, the bodyguard knelt in front of Dayan Khan and spoke.

"Big... big sweat, something bad is going to happen!"

"Thirty miles east of Lhasa, traces of the Ming army were found..."

When Dayan Khan heard this, the expression on his face changed instantly.

"This...what the hell is going on?"

The look on Dayan Khan's face was one of obvious fear.

To be honest, everyone in the Heshuote Khanate is very concerned about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

In the battle of Qamdo, the Ming army used its absolute inferiority in strength and used more than 8,000 cavalry to defeat 70,000 Khanate soldiers and horses in one fell swoop!

Although those soldiers and horses are not elite!

However, there was such a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, yet the Ming army was able to win. This also shows that the Ming army is now elite and good at fighting.

Now, those elite Ming troops who were good at fighting suddenly appeared outside the city of Lhasa, and Dayan Khan could not tolerate being frightened.

If the Ming army attacks Lhasa, can Lhasa be able to withstand the Ming army's attack?

If the city of Lhasa is captured, what should Dayan Khan do?

Thinking about these messy questions, Dayan Khan's face was filled with fear.

Finally, he opened his mouth and gave instructions.

"Send the order, gather troops and horses, and prepare for a breakout!"

However, as soon as Dayan Khan said this, he was opposed by many people.

"Great Khan, you must not do this! You must not do this!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, Khan, the Ming army just appeared outside Lhasa. If our army withdraws now, wouldn't it be easy for the Ming army to look down on it?"

"That's right, Great Khan, please give the order, Great Khan, we will never be afraid of the invading thieves!"

"..."

A group of generals patted their armored stomachs, which had been passed down for several generations and were already somewhat damaged, and said with great courage.

However, the nobles and monks all had bitter expressions on their faces, and seemed to agree with Dayan Khan's order.

Dayan Khan heard the objections of his generals and said with a cold face.

"The reason why I want to retreat now is not because I am afraid of the Ming thieves!"

"It's just that we don't know the authenticity of the invading thieves, and our army's current strength in Lhasa is also stretched thin."

"Instead of taking the risk of fighting the Ming bandits at this time, it is better to withdraw our troops temporarily to avoid their sharp edges and consume the Ming army's energy. After our army gathers sufficient strength, we can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

“Don’t you all hear the principle of making great efforts in one go, then failing again, and finally exhausting yourself in three attempts?”

Dayan Khan said righteously.

However, although the expression on his face was righteous, his heart was mostly filled with fear.

The above words are just excuses that Dayan Khan found for his escape.

The real reason for evacuating is because Dayan Khan is scared!

Nothing else!

However, others did not know this. After hearing what Dayan Khan said, many people spoke in unison.

"The great Khan is wise!"

"Compared with the Great Khan, we are indeed short-sighted."

"It all depends on the Khan's orders!"

"..."

Seeing this scene, Dayan Khan stroked his beard with his hands, feeling full of pride in his heart.
