Chapter 107: The Afghan War

The rest of the matter was much simpler, and William happily waged war and marched forward with the expeditionary force, and at the same time Nadir Shah began to assemble the princes, either to send messengers to question them, or to call people directly to him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

That is, the tribes who did not hand over the messenger to him, forcing them to continue fighting against the Russian Gothic Empire.

"The Zoroastrian Empire is gone!" said Nadir Shah, somewhat frantically and a little nervously, to them, "Now the Empire has fallen into the hands of the Russian Gothic barbarians. There was no Darius III Shah at all! It was all deception, concealment. These heretics want to divide and disintegrate us with such a scheme! We must not be fooled!

We must not fall under the rule of a foreign dynasty! We must fight back and drive them all out. Building a Mighty Afghan Empire !!"

Although, this guy's slogan is shouted loudly. At the same time, the leaders of those tribes, one by two, agreed very well, as if they really listened to this guy's words, as if they really wanted to fight to the death with him and the army of the Russian Gothic Empire.

However, what exactly do these guys think, and what do they want to do next? It's all in question.

After making a good blood alliance with these tribal leaders, and then swearing an oath in the presence of Anla. A group of people had a good laugh and had a feast. After the feast, everyone went back to their homes and prepared their own plots.

Nadir Shah, who looked half-drunk, recovered instantly after returning to his court, and his eyes were calm, as if nothing happened.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty. His ministers immediately came near—either members of his Afshar tribe, or die-hard loyalists of the tribes who had come to him on their own initiative and surrendered their messengers.

They were all guys that Nader Shah could trust—at least more so.

"I think we're going to have a betrayal. Nader Shah's expression was serious, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.

After this guy said this, the ministers and die-hard allies around him looked at each other, and neither of them quite understood what he meant.

One of them plucked up his courage and said to Nader Shah: "Your Majesty, have we not come to an agreement that you will no longer pursue their correspondence with the enemy, and they will help you against the conquerors of the Russian Gothic Empire." Why do you say that?"

Nader Shah glanced at the guy with some pity.

The limbs are well developed and the mind is simple. Very pleasant.

Sometimes he expects his men to be smarter, but other times he expects his men to be all stupid people like this. Two thoughts intertwined in his mind, and now, after the fool had asked a question that only a fool would ask, Nader Shah felt that it would be better to have more smart people.

But it's a pity that smart people are smart, and smart people naturally have a lot of thoughts. And there are few smart people who are thoughtful and smart, and I am afraid there are not many people who are willing to stand by his side at this moment.

......

At the same time, at the same time that Nader Shah and his tribal leaders were one by two, each with their own evil intentions, and that way, William's army was advancing unhurriedly in the direction of Afghanistan.

This made Freya feel strange.

Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, and William's cavalry is a little more numerous. But it's still too slow.

On top of that, she had a question she wanted William to answer for her.

That is, why did William deliberately let some messengers be caught.

Although she didn't know what the reason was, wouldn't it be good to keep it a secret? A guy like William must have a good way of keeping it secret, so that everyone wouldn't know what he did, right?

The relationship between the two sides is very close - since staying by William's side for a long time, Freya's heart has already secretly wrapped a trace of affection around William

William may have noticed some of it. It's just that because the identities of the two sides are different, William didn't mean to say these things at all and make them public. This made Freya a little discouraged, a little unhappy, and secretly lost and relieved at the same time.

All in all, the relationship between the two sides was quite good, so Freya didn't think William would hide anything from her, so she asked her own questions directly.

"Why, you're doing that?"

"Because I did it on purpose. William replied without hesitation. Then before Freya said strangely, "Why did it happen on purpose?" and told her all about her plans.

"Because in addition to being someone to woo, a potential ally, they are also a potential enemy of ours. William said: "I don't trust those guys, those mountain people, xenophobic, stupid, stubborn, greedy and murderous.

Have you ever heard of that saying, that is, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people. In such a barren area, if you want to survive, you have to be as ferocious as a wolf. ”

"So...... You want them to kill each other?"

William nodded: "That's what it means." He said: "Of course, it's just a possibility -- if they do fight, then it's the best outcome -- the best outcome for us."

After the war, whatever the outcome is in our favor.

If Nadir Shah is defeated, we will have to fight this battle, and we will be able to weaken the power of those tribes.

If those tribes were defeated, Nadir Shah would not have been unscathed. And, in any case, he will lose the support of the tribes of these land snakes that rule Afghanistan.

Calculated in this way, whatever the result is, it is in our interest. ”

"I see, I basically get it. Freya nodded: "So, we reduced the speed of our progress just so as not to put too much pressure on the other party?"

"Yes and no. ”

"On the one hand, the slow advance of our army will give the other side more time, and more time means more variables, and more variables mean that they are more likely to fight.

In addition to this, our troops exist, and advancing, will put enough pressure on them. In the face of such pressure, the other side must think that they should do something - then the best way to clean up the interior and unite these tribes is to do so.

In this way, they are likely to exacerbate the conflict. Neither side trusts anyone, and even if it does fight in the end, it will most likely be ...... Hum. In short, it's good for us. ”

After listening to William's words, Freya basically understood, and suddenly realized, and at the same time secretly admired William's ability.

Why is this guy so smart, or to put it mildly, so insidious and cunning. Of course, it's also a good thing to be so insidious and cunning, at least then the insidious scum won't be bullied or anything.

Of course, of course, now only William is the one who bullies others. How could a ruler as great as William be defeated?

Thinking about it for a moment, Freya felt like a deer was running wild. Although she knew that this was wrong, she still couldn't help it, and cast a look of love and admiration at William.

Although the next step, William pretended not to see it, which made Freya feel very unhappy. At the same time, I was relieved.

Then it's time to find out.

The situation, as William had analyzed, developed in the direction that William had hoped. William's army approached very pleasantly slowly. gives the other person the illusion that he has a lot of time. At the same time, it also makes them restless and expects to be able to do something.

And so it happened.

First of all, skirmishes began. Some half-sized children who usually look at each other unpleasantly, draw knives after a verbal altercation.

Maybe it's because of the pressure from the elders on both sides in the recent period. So these guys are very vicious, ferocious, vicious, vicious. As soon as you make a move, you want to kill.

After these half-sized sons fought, the war between the two sides naturally began. First of all, the adults in the family. And then there's the whole tribe. And then there's Afghanistan as a whole.

It's like a pleasant story that William had heard.

Two mountain villages, different nationalities live across the mountains, one day, girls from two different mountain villages went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and then there was a quarrel, and then a fight. When they returned, the two girls told their father and brother about them.

And then, of course, their father and brother fought.

Then, of course, there was a fight between the two mountain villages.

Such a fight was reported to the local county office, and then to the border guard.

After hearing about the invasion of foreign enemies, the border generals of both sides came over with their armies.

Then, a decades-long war began.

The reason is that the two girls think that a small stone is beautiful and want it.

Hawkers, although William doesn't know if this story is true or false, but it doesn't matter, the story is that the dead are alive. It's not the story that's all about the story, it's about the storyteller.

And the money from the storyteller.

When William heard of this delightful deed, he immediately sent messengers again, telling the men who had risen up against Nadir Shah that their army would arrive soon, soon, and very soon. I want them to work hard and hold on a little longer. The reinforcements will soon be slaughtered with lightning speed. Fight alongside them.

And then continue at the same speed.

Well...... It's still a little bit faster.

Although only a little.

They are loyal servants of the Zoroastrian Empire.

But not of the Russian Gothic Empire.

So William doesn't have to care too much about these guys.
