Chapter 483: Bad News Spreads!

Not many people had ever seen the banner of the three-headed white lion on the Longxi border, but there was practically no one who didn't know what it was. It represented a legendary existence of the Ü-Tsang Empire: the Tsenpo's King of Generals, the Ü-Tsang War God, We Tadra Khonglo!

In Ü-Tsang, this person's status far surpassed other Great Generals like Huoshu Huicang or Dusong Mangpoje. His status was similar to that of the Great Tang's War God, now the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian, Wang Zhongsi.

At the time, Wang Zhongsi had lorded over the west, almost fighting his way onto the Tibetan Plateau, where he could menace the royal city of Ü-Tsang. In the end, he failed because he had encountered We Tadra Khonglo!

And across all the Ü-Tsang Empire, the only person that could be a match for War God Wang Zhongsi was We Tadra Khonglo!

The legends said that this man's ability to command was almost divine, but ever since that war, We Tadra Khonglo had never appeared again. No one had expected this legend of Ü-Tsang to appear now.

In an instant, all the soldiers of the Big Dipper Army turned to look in one direction.

'A man's name, a tree's shadow.' This legendary King of Generals was far too famous, exerted far too much pressure.

If there was one person in Big Dipper City that could stand against him, it could only be their Great General!

Everyone looked toward the highest tower of Big Dipper City, waiting for that mighty figure to appear.

When the seven stars of the Big Dipper shone up high, Geshu came at night with his saber!

No matter the time, the Big Dipper Great General Geshu Han's name would be an existence as firm as the mountains and rivers in the west!

”We Tadra Khonglo…”

Geshu Han stood in that majestic tower. Though he was not striking any particular posture, he exuded the aura of a mountain, of steel that had gone through countless temperings.

Though an Imperial Great General, Geshu Han had a handsome appearance and dignified bearing. When those long and narrow eyes opened, they were as bright as the sun or moon. Although they showed no anger, they gave off a majesty that inspired awe and respect.

As a former subordinate of the Great Tang War God Wang Zhongsi, Geshu Han had experienced many things, including the great battle between Wang Zhongsi and the White Lion Great General We Tadra Khonglo.

Ü-Tsang came away from that war with heavy injuries, and Wang Zhongsi, affected by the geography of the plateau, the limits of his soldiers, and We Tadra Khonglo's resistance, also chose to withdraw from the Tibetan Plateau.

Geshu Han had personally taken part in the war, so he clearly understood what had happened back then.

Only Geshu Han knew that it was not out of kindness that We Tadra Khonglo did not continue to invade the Central Plains after that war. In fact, he had suffered severe injuries back then that forced him to retreat.

But after so many years, his injuries should have mostly recovered.

”'In abnormal circumstances, there must be an evildoer at work.' It has been a long time since Ü-Tsang and the Great Tang engaged in any wars. What does We Tadra Khonglo intend to do by showing up here…”

The black-armored Geshu Han stood unmoving on the tower, allowing the wind to throw his long hair about. He had experienced many campaigns of all shapes and sizes, so there were very few things that could affect his mood.

But at this moment, Geshu Han felt a little uneasy. It was not because of We Tadra Khonglo, but because Ü-Tsang's movements were too out of the ordinary.

It was true that We Tadra Khonglo was the White Lion Great General, the greatest of all of Ü-Tsang's Great Generals and the most powerful. Even War God Wang Zhongsi at his peak couldn't do much against him.

But Geshu Han was not going to subdue Ü-Tsang. A campaign in the open and defending a city were two different things! The cavalry of Ü-Tsang might be fierce and courageous, but as long as the Big Dipper Army didn't engage them on open ground, the White Lion Great General We Tadra Khonglo could only twiddle his thumbs!

After so many years, it was impossible to keep track of the number of Tibetans the Big Dipper Army had killed. If there was one group of soldiers who had the greatest understanding of Tibetans and were most effective against them, it could only be Geshu Han's Big Dipper Army.

Forged in fire and blood, this army could stand on its own two feet and face any storm. This was not an army that could just be run over.

Geshu Han was confident that the Tibetans understood this simple principle.

We Tadra Khonglo would never do anything without a purpose. If the White Lion Great General did not possess an unusual intelligence, he would have never been able to block Wang Zhongsi's attacks.

Geshu Han stood on the tower as his mind worked, countless thoughts flashing through his mind in the space of a few seconds. The entirety of the empire, including the landscape of Longxi, flitted through his mind.

Lintao stood on the border of Longxi, and with Big Dipper City towering here, the Tibetans had essentially no chance of getting past. As for the northwest, Gao Xianzhi was standing sentinel at Suiye.

He also had Feng Changqing's help, and with those two individuals, one the master of martial matters and the other the master of civil, not even the White Lion Great General would be able to do much.
