Pretending to be unaware of the plot and desiring to find out the truth for himself, he invited his two friends (Alu Dorji & Phuntsho Dorji) to a meeting in Shar valley, halfway between Tongsa and Thimphu, where he went to meet them with gifts.
The two did not show up and Ugyen Wangchuk was now convinced of their dissension and scheme to get rid of him.
He returned to Tongsa and began the preparations for what was to become the last civil war in the medieval history of Bhutan.
Having gathered a force of about 2140 men and made prayers and offerings to protector deities in all major temples in Bumthang and Tongsa, Ugyen Wangchuk marched with his troops to Punakha in the beginning of
1885.
