861 Intrigue
Besides, in the current negotiation, he takes the initiative, so there is no need to worry.
Therefore, Abbas II asked Odom calmly: "I heard that your third prince is arrogant and unscrupulous. He has never obeyed anyone's ability to lead troops to fight. Why can he agree to so many conditions this time?"
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Don't tell me, your third prince admires me, so he agreed to these conditions!"
In Abbas II's view, if he did not give him a satisfactory answer, he would have enough reason to think that once Odom got Shah Jahan, he would immediately repent. If this is true, although Aurangzeb's repeated villain side would be exposed to the world, he would not be able to gain benefits, but he was unwilling to do so.
When Odom heard this, he couldn't help but admire his master. Because before he came, Aurangzeb mentioned this to him. If Abbas II really asked, what would he do?
Therefore, after hearing the question, Odom saluted Abbas II before answering: "Dear Your Majesty, because of the incompetence of that Shah Jahan, the Emperor of Ming led his troops to rage in the eastern part of my Mughal Empire. Therefore, His 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 Mughal cannot resist the Ming army's troops, then Your Majesty will definitely be harassed by those demons. With the ambition of the Ming emperor, if I really take over my Mughal, his next target will definitely be His Majesty's territory."
Hearing this, Abbas II finally understood why Aurangzeb was so patient. It turned out that there was such a big deal in their Mughals.
To be honest, although Abbas II benefited from the invasion of Mughals by the Ming emperor, which allowed him to obtain the vast western land of Mughals. However, after he learned more about the way the Ming emperor did, he hated it very much. For nothing else, it was enough to kill the nobles for the Ming emperor and share the aristocrats' money to those untouchables.
Thinking of this, Abbas II asked with concern: "Then the Emperor of Ming Dynasty hasn't gone back yet? How many troops have he led to attack you Mughal?"
After saying that, he frowned and said, "As far as I know, he led his troops into your Mughals, and only brought 20,000 cavalry in total! After such a long period of war, I guess there will be no more left, right?"
"Where is the 20,000 cavalry?" Odom immediately shouted a little out of control when he heard this, "The Emperor of Ming Kingdom fought all the way to Donggo, and assembled the Ming army over there, a 500,000 army, and rushed westward..."
Hearing his words, Abbas II couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself, could it be that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty found that there was an opportunity for Mughals, so he led the army to destroy Mughals?
If this is the case, he will have an extra powerful neighbor in the future, and he will be a madman who doesn't know what to think. What should he do if he uses Mughal methods to please the nobles when he is trying to beat him up?
Thinking of this, Abbas II couldn't help but feel a little headache.
Just think about it a little bit, he knew that this move was very difficult to crack. In addition, if the Ming Dynasty had elite troops who could charge into battle, it would be even more difficult to see the strength of the Ming army!
Thinking of this, Abbas II came to his senses and found that Odom had finished speaking and looked at him with a straight look.
He did not speak immediately, but frowned and pondered something. After a long time, it could be seen from his expression that he had made a decision.
Sure enough, Abbas II said to Odom: "Go back and tell your third prince, and I will go to Lahore and let him wait for me there. I will see him in person."
"Ah?" Odom was stunned when he heard this. He thought of a certain possibility and quickly said, "Dear Your Majesty, let me tell the truth. If your country imposes conditions, my third prince will say that you would rather defeat the death!"
He thought that Abbas II personally led his troops to Lahore to demonstrate, with the purpose of oppressing Aurangzeb's promise to more conditions.
Abbas II did not expect Odom to misunderstand, so he said lightly: "If he can satisfy me, I can spare all the money and property I promised before. Without further ado, go and prepare. I think he shouldn't have much time to stay in the west."
Odom was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he didn't believe it, it was a good thing, so he didn't dare to say too much and went back to report immediately.
………………………………………
More than half a month later, Abbas II and Aurangzeb met outside the city of Lahore.
The troops on both sides were on high alert, with a team of personal guards escorting them, and the two kings face to face.
To be honest, Aurangzeb was a little confused about what he was selling in Abbas II's gourd. When he met, his face looked a little bad.
Because in his opinion, he was the one with a low posture, as if he had a handle being pinched by Abbas II and was summoned to him and swayed.
However, when Abbas II saw Aurangzebu's gloomy face, he smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mughal's Khan! I have a gift here for you to be the congratulatory gift for you when you ascend the throne!"
After saying that, he waved his hand. So the guards beside him began to signal backwards, and saw that several more cavalry left the array and came here.
Aurangzeb didn't even think that he would say such things, and was obviously surprised. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
According to Abbas II's meaning, it was acknowledging that he was the Khan of Mughal. This was definitely very good news. When he heard that there was a gift, he turned around and guessed something in his heart. He couldn't help but look forward to it, and even forgot to express his gratitude to Abbas II.
Aurangzeb stared at the riders coming without blinking, and his face looked a little nervous.
When Abbas II saw this, he sneered in his heart. As an emperor, of course, he could not have a good impression of the lord and father-killer. However, on the surface, he did not show it.
As he got closer, closer, and after seeing clearly, Aurangzeb found that the few horses coming were really Abbas II's subordinates escorted Shah Jahan, who was tied to the horse. This was the gift to him for the ascension of the throne!
Seeing this moment clearly, Aurangzebu really felt like a hungry person who had been hit by a pie in the sky.
"Your rebellious son, if you kill the king and the father, you will definitely die a good death in the future..."
Hearing Shah Jahan's curse, Aurangzeb didn't care at all and signaled to Odom behind him. Then, regardless of whether Odom went to take Shah Jahan over and took him to the army behind, he turned to look at Abbas II and said, "I don't know what conditions do you have?"
At this time, his shrewdness had returned to him. He did not thank Abbas II for this, because he felt that Abbas II did not congratulate him sincerely. Otherwise, why didn’t he give Shah Jahan the head to him, but instead gave Shah Jahan the living. You know, there is a big difference between this.
If Abbas II gave Shah Jahan's head to him, although he did rebel and forced Shah Jahan, Shah Jahan was not killed by him! His slogan was just "clearing the king". He could say that after he killed the treacherous minister, he still supported his father Khan. In this way, at least a fig leaf!
This also has another advantage. When he is strong in the future, he can even shout the slogan of avenging his father's Khan, tear up the agreement, and kill the Safi Dynasty.
However, now that Abbas II actually gave Shah Jahan the living, the slogan he had shouted before would be self-defeating. Because he could not give the empire to Shah Jahan again.
Next, it was the most reassuring for him to kill Shah Jahan, but in this way, the reputation of "killing the regency and father" was stolen on his head. As long as it is possible, no one hopes that this reputation will be related to him.
But if Shah Jahan is not killed, he will always be worried. After all, Shah Jahan has been a Khan of the Mughal Empire for so many years, his influence will definitely be very great. What if he accidentally gets overturned by Shah Jahan?
Therefore, after the initial ecstasy, Aurangzeb was full of resentment towards Abbas II. Of course, he did not show it at this time.
Besides, when Abbas II heard Aurangzeb ask him, he just smiled, as if humans and animals were harmless, and said with a smile: "No need to worry about conditions. I want to know, are you sure to deal with the Emperor of Ming?"
Hearing this, Aurangzebu was a little stunned and immediately reacted.
If Aurangzeb was a fool, he would never have been a Khan of the Mughal Empire, either in this plane or in the original history. Therefore, he immediately felt that Abbas II's series of strange actions were related to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
After a brain teaser, Aurangzebu showed a heavy expression and said, "I don't hide it from you. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty took advantage of the civil strife of Mughal and led heavy troops to attack. The situation was not very good."
Speaking of this, he seemed to ponder for a moment. Before Abbas II spoke, he quickly said: "Ben Khan is considering that he may not be sure of the decisive battle with the Emperor of Ming. Therefore, Ben Khan thought of leading troops south and giving this side to the Emperor of Ming first. After consuming the Ming army's aura and making the Ming army's supply line longer, he would seek a decisive battle with the Ming army."
