861 Trickery

Besides, in the current negotiation, he has the initiative, and there is no need to worry.

Therefore, Abbas II asked Odom in a hurry: "I heard that your Royal Highness the Third Prince is arrogant and undisciplined, and he has never served anyone in his ability to lead troops into battle. Why was it possible to agree to so many conditions this time? ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Don't tell me, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince admires me, so you agreed to these conditions!" ”

In Abbas II's opinion, if he was not given a satisfactory answer, then he had enough reason to think that Odom would immediately regret it as soon as he got Shah Jahan. If this is the case, although Aurangzeb's repeated villain side will be exposed to the world, he will not be able to reap the benefits, but he is also unwilling.

When Odom heard this, he couldn't help but admire his master. For Aurangzeb had mentioned it to him before he came. If Abbas II really asks, let him do what.

Therefore, when Odom heard the question, he saluted Abbas II before replying: "Your Majesty, because of the incompetence of that Shah Jahan, the Ming Emperor led the army to wreak havoc in the eastern part of my Mughal Empire. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Third Prince believes that the Ming army is a demon and must be suppressed. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and immediately added: "If we Mughals can't resist the Ming army's troops, then Your Majesty's side will definitely be harassed by those demons." With the ambition of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, if he really occupies my Mughals, his next target must be His Majesty's land. ”

Hearing this, Abbas II finally understood why Aurangzeb was so stolen, it turned out that there was still such a big deal on their Mughal side.

Seriously, Abbas II benefited from the Ming Emperor's invasion of the Mughals, which allowed him to gain access to the vast western lands of the Mughals. However, after he learned more about the way the Ming Emperor acted at the beginning, he was very disgusted. If nothing else, it is enough to kill the nobles for the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom and distribute the money of the nobles to those untouchables.

Thinking of this, Abbas II asked with concern: "Then the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom still hasn't returned?" How many men did he lead against you Mughals? ”

After finishing speaking, he frowned and said, "As far as I know, he led his troops into your Mughals, and he only brought a total of 20,000 cavalry!" After such a long period of conquest and consumption, it is estimated that there will not be much left, right? ”

"Which is 20,000 cavalry?" When Odom heard this, he immediately shouted a little out of shape, "After the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom fought all the way to Dongwu, he gathered the Ming army over there, 500,000 troops, and killed them all the way to the west......"

Hearing him say this, Abbas II couldn't help but frown. I thought in my heart, could it be that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom found that the Mughal side had an opportunity, so he led the army to destroy the Mughals?

If this is the case, he will have a strong neighbor in the future, and he will be a madman who doesn't know what to think. What if he wanted to fight his own side, he would also use the same methods in the Mughals, using the property of the nobles to curry favor with the untouchables?

Thinking of this, Abbas II couldn't help but have a little headache.

With a little thought, he knew that this trick was very difficult to crack. In addition, if the elite troops of the Ming State can charge into battle, it will be even more difficult to see the strength of the Ming army!

Thinking so, Abbas II came to his senses and found that Odom had finished speaking, and was looking at him with a blank eye.

He did not speak immediately, but frowned and pondered something, and after a long while, it could be seen from his face that he had made up his mind.

Sure enough, Abbas II said to Odom: "Go back and tell your Royal Highness the Third Prince, that I will go to Lahore and let him wait for me there." I want to see him myself. ”

"Huh?" When Odom heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, thought of a certain possibility, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, let's be honest, if your country imposes conditions again, His Royal Highness the Third Prince of my family said that it would be better to die and break the net!" ”

He thought that Abbas II personally led his troops to Lahore to demonstrate, in order to pressure Aurangzeb to agree to more conditions.

Abbas II didn't expect Odom to misunderstand, so he said lightly: "If he can satisfy me, I can get rid of the money I promised before." Without further ado, let's get ready. I thought he wouldn't have much time to spend in the west. ”

Odom was a little surprised to hear this, and although he didn't believe it, it was a good thing, so he didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately went back to tell him.

……………………

Half a month later, Abbas II and Aurangzeb met outside Lahore.

The armies on both sides were in full array, escorted by a team of personal guards, and the two kings faced each other.

To be honest, Aurangzeb was a little confused about what kind of medicine was sold in Abbas II's gourd, and his face was a little unsightly when he met him at this time.

For in his opinion, he is the low-profile side, as if he had a handle to be held by Abbas II, and he summoned him to come and go.

However, when Abbas II saw Aurangzeb's gloomy face, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mughal Khan!" I have a gift for you when you ascend the throne as emperor! ”

After saying that, he waved his hand. So, the guards beside him began to signal back, and they saw that on the other side of the military formation, several more horsemen left the array and came this way.

Aurangzeb didn't even think he would say such a thing, and was obviously taken aback. When I came back to my senses, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Listening to Abbas II, this is an acknowledgment that he is the Great Khan of the Mughals, which is definitely very good news. When I heard that there was a gift, I turned my head to look at it, and I vaguely guessed something in my heart, and I couldn't help but look forward to it, and even forgot to thank Abbas II.

I saw Aurangzeb's eyes staring at the riders who came over without blinking, and his face was a little nervous.

Abbas II sneered in his heart when he saw this. As an emperor, of course, it is impossible to have a good impression of the person who kills the king and the father. On the surface, though, he didn't show it.

Closer, closer, and after seeing clearly, Aurangzeb found that the horses that came were really Abbas II's men escorting Shah Jahan tied to his horse, and this was his enthronement gift!

Seeing this moment clearly, Aurangzeb really felt like a person who had been hungry for a long time, as if he had been hit by a pie in the sky.

"Rebel son, if you kill the king and kill the father, you will not die a good death in the future......"

Hearing Shah Jahan's scolding, Aurangzeb didn't care at all and gestured to Odom behind him. Then, regardless of Odom going to fetch Shah Jahan and escorting him to the army, he just turned to Abbas II and said, "I don't know what conditions you have?" ”

At this time, he was shrewd and had returned to him. He was not grateful to Abbas II for this, because he sensed that Abbas II did not congratulate him sincerely. Otherwise, why didn't he give him Shah Jahan's head, but gave him the living Shah Jahan. You know, there's a big difference.

If Abbas II had given him Shah Jahan's head, although he did rebel and persecuted Shah Jahan, he didn't kill Shah Jahan after all! His slogan is just "Qingjun side", and he can say that he still supports his father Khan after killing the traitorous ministers. In this way, there is at least a fig leaf!

This has the added advantage that when he is strong in the future, he can even shout the slogan of avenging his father Khan, tear up the agreement, and kill the Safavids.

However, now that Abbas II has given him the living Shah Jahan, then the slogan he shouted before will be self-defeating. Because he couldn't give the empire back to Shah Jahan.

Next, he killed Shah Jahan at the most reassuring, but in this way, the reputation of "killing kings and fathers" was buckled on his head. This kind of fame, as long as possible, no one wants to have anything to do with them.

But if he didn't kill Shah Jahan, then he would always be worried. After all, Shah Jahan has been the Great Khan of the Mughal Empire for so many years, and his influence must be very great. What if he accidentally gets overturned by Shah Jahan?

So, after the initial ecstasy, Aurangzeb's heart was filled with resentment towards Abbas II. Of course, at this time, he didn't show it.

Besides, when Abbas II heard Aurangzeb ask him, he just smiled, as if he was harmless to humans and animals, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the conditions or anything." I want to know, are you sure of dealing with the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom? ”

Hearing this, Aurangzeb was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted.

If Aurangzeb had been a fool, he would not have been the Great Khan of the Mughal Empire, either in this plane or in the original history. Therefore, he immediately felt keenly that this series of strange actions of Abbas II was related to the Ming Emperor.

Under the brain teaser, Aurangzeb showed a heavy look and said: "Ben Khan will not hide it from you, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom took advantage of my Mughal civil strife to lead a heavy army to attack, and the situation is not very good. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to groan for a moment, and before Abbas II could speak, he hurriedly said: "Ben Khan is thinking about it, and if he fights the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom now, I am afraid that he is not sure. Therefore, Ben Khan thought of leading his troops south, giving this side to the Ming Emperor first, and then seeking a decisive battle with the Ming army after consuming the sharp energy of the Ming army and making the supply line of the Ming army longer. ”

Hearing this, Abbas II was a little surprised, and thought to himself, what does this mean? Could it be that the most prosperous places in the Mughal were given to the Ming army? In that case, will the Ming Emperor continue to fight westward? You know, the Lahore region was the most prosperous in the Mughal Empire outside of Delhi.
