Odom was personally the recipient of the criticism, and of course he was quite angry. After hearing his master's words, he quickly agreed: "Yes, we must give this arrogant Ming Emperor a lesson!"
After finishing speaking, he seemed to be relieved a little. When he came back to his senses, he hesitated a little, and then said to Aurangzeb: "Your Highness, I have gone here and saw that the Ming army is indeed huge in number. They also have War elephant! If we really want to fight, even if we can win, will it be cheaper for us?"
In the eyes of the people on their side, war elephants are the most powerful unit, bar none.
When Aurangzeb heard this, he immediately calmed down. The reason for this is not that he was afraid of the Ming army's war elephants, but that he heard Odom say that he would be more advantageous. Needless to say, this him is his father Khan.
It can be said that the person Aurangzeb feared most at this time was not the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but his father Khan.
At this time, as soon as Aurangzeb calmed down, his eyes flickered. Suddenly, he slapped the table and shouted sternly: "It's easy for the dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Wait until I ascend the throne and become the emperor, and then I will talk to him again." decisive battle!"
Hearing this, Odom couldn't help but feel a little relieved. It seemed that the master he was following was not the wrong person. After all, he was able to grasp the key points and knew what was most critical.
Although in his heart, he did not think that the Ming Emperor was invincible, his third prince was also very powerful. But if we say that Aurangzeb will definitely be able to defeat the Ming Emperor, then there is a question mark. However, after all calculations, there is a high probability that we can win!
But even so, if you kill a thousand enemies, you will suffer eight hundred losses. The Ming army had a lot of troops. If Aurangzeb had suffered heavy losses despite winning in defeating the Ming emperor, it would have only given an advantage to Shah Jahan, who was sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers. This is unacceptable. Yes, after all, he finally took advantage of this opportunity to seize enough military power. If you use up all your troops, you won't have such a good chance next time.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Aurangzeb suddenly say to him: "I have decided to lead 150,000 elite troops to march westward for a big event. I will leave you with the remaining troops and use this bluff to intimidate the Ming Dynasty. Emperor. I don’t ask for anything else, as long as I can stabilize the Ming Emperor.”
"This..." When Odom heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was the best way. If there is no force to cut off the rear, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty leads the army to follow behind, His Highness the Third Prince will not be able to do big things at all!
Thinking of this, Odom took a deep breath and immediately saluted Aurangzeb and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as the ministers are here, the Ming army will not be allowed to cross Bengal!"
Aurangzeb still admired his confidant. At this time, he was even more satisfied when he heard him express his loyalty. After pondering for a while, he said: "Don't worry, there will be arrangements before my king leaves." . At least for a month. If you can keep the Ming army here for a month, it will be a great achievement. The position of Prime Minister of this Khan belongs to you!"
When it came to the end, he was simply "Ben Khan", and his ambition was so great that he didn't hide it at all.
When Odom heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Afterwards, Aurangzeb immediately began to deploy, quietly deployed, strengthened the sentries to detect horses, and shielded the Ming army from spying. Later, he led his army to march westward. The apparent reason was that there were rebellions in various places. He wanted to wipe out the surrounding areas and then have a showdown with the Ming Emperor.
………………
The unusual movement in Dhaka was quickly discovered by the keen Ming army Ye Bushou, who then reported it to Emperor Chongzhen. In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen not only did not send Ye Bu to spy, but instead ordered Ye Bu to not "scare" people, and asked them to pretend that they could not defeat the Mughal scouts and reduce the scope of their activities.
Many people couldn't understand this, but since this was the emperor's order, there must be a purpose. Therefore, no one in the army raised any objections. In private, Dalantai, who was not very familiar with Emperor Chongzhen, asked Wu Sangui: "Your Majesty, what does this mean? If there is any abnormal movement of the Mughal army in Dhaka, then there must be something going on, right?"
"Haha, if you fight with His Majesty, you don't have to worry about these things." After hearing this, Wu Sangui immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty has his own intentions. You will know it later!"
Hearing such an answer, Dalantai was helpless, so he had to watch it first before talking. Of course, I also have thoughts in my mind, that is, I really want to see how high the Ming Emperor's fighting ability is?
Emperor Chongzhen's intention this time was actually very simple, that is, to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Through the Class-A eavesdropping seeds in Odom, he already knew Aurangzeb's overall plan. Of course, he was happy that Aurangzeb went to Shah Jahan for shopping first, and then let them compete for the throne.
Since Aurangzeb wanted Odom to block his side for a month, Emperor Chongzhen decided to give him half a month. As for now, of course we have to pretend that we don't know that Dhaka is empty.
In addition, there is another point. As Emperor Chongzhen moved forward, he also left many Class A eavesdropping seeds along the way, and gave them to the leaders of the cities that had not been captured. In this way, he can be prevented from controlling the situation in the hinterland of the Mughal Empire.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was equivalent to cheating. He was observing the entire Mughal Empire's war situation from the perspective of God, almost using a mode visible in the entire map.
………………
There are only 70,000 to 80,000 troops on Odom's side. Except for those troops who shield the battlefield and prevent the Ming army from spying at night, most of them are not elite. Therefore, he is on tenterhooks almost every day. The Ming army discovered the abnormality and killed them.
However, as the days passed and there was no movement from the Ming army, Odom gradually became relieved. There was another thought in my mind about the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty: Thanks to the dog emperor of the Ming Kingdom who said that he could not win even if he wanted to be defeated, hehe, in the final analysis, he was still afraid of His Highness the Third Prince, so he kept his troops stationary.
This was the best. Odom's mind flew to Aurangzeb who didn't know where he was, and he prayed every day, hoping that Aurangzeb would win the throne as soon as possible, so that he could be relieved.
Needless to say, Aurangzeb was more anxious about this matter than he was. Even in Aurangzeb's own opinion, he did not feel that Odom's ability to lead troops was very strong. Once the Ming army launched an attack, it was estimated that they would not be able to resist it for too long. Therefore, as soon as he moved westward, he used Thunder Moving forward.
And his journey to the west was surprisingly smooth.
The cities that were conquered by the Ming Emperor were occupied by miscellaneous fish and were simply vulnerable. As for the cities that were not conquered by the Ming Emperor, they were overjoyed to see His Highness the Third Prince arriving with his troops. , hurriedly went out of the city to greet him, and the city naturally fell under Aurangzeb's control.
Without exception, Aurangzeb would show his cards at this time and ask directly whether he should support him as the emperor of the Mughal Empire, or whether he should be stubborn and loyal to the man who made the Mughal Empire pay a heavy price. Incompetent emperor?
In the context of Aurangzeb's control of the situation, and the fact that Shah Jahan failed to defeat the Ming emperor, causing them heavy losses, most of the local officials immediately swore an oath to Aurangzeb without even thinking about it. Allegiance was given.
Only a few people did not satisfy Aurangzeb's ideas, and they were directly clicked by him. In the end, whether he captured the city or surrendered the city, Aurangzeb would always mobilize elite soldiers and horses to march westward with him.
In this way, as Aurangzeb led his army to march westward, the number of troops increased, and his confidence in winning the throne naturally increased.
On this day, when he marched to the Arabahad area, that is to say, he was still almost halfway to Delhi, the forward scout finally reported back, saying that Shah Jahan was coming with the army.
After hearing the news, Aurangzeb not only did not feel nervous, but became energetic. It was finally time to start. This day, he had been waiting for a long time!
Of course, he didn't immediately lead the troops to rush over shouting and killing, that would have been too stupid.
………………
To put it bluntly, Shah Jahan has been running around here and there for more than half a year without resting at all. First, he led the troops to march south to conquer the Ming army in Bombay. As a result, before he was defeated, he had to return north to rescue his lair. In the end, it was too late, causing him heavy losses and having to escape to recruit an army.
Thanks to the relatively high prestige he had accumulated in the past, he was known as the "Ruler of the World" after all. Therefore, even if his capital was captured by the Ming army and the north was in chaos, he eventually managed to recruit a hundred thousand troops.
At this time, he felt that he was capable of fighting the Ming Emperor, so he immediately came back to the Ming Emperor for a decisive battle. However, he did not expect that his eldest son Darashiko was really a complete idiot. Not long after he left, he was defeated by the Ming army. As a result, all the troops in the Bombay area were depleted. Understand the Ming army's sphere of influence.
Although Shah Jahan was so angry that he vomited blood, he finally understood the seriousness of the matter and knew that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the north was the one he had to solve first. Therefore, he finally led his troops to continue marching north to find the Ming Emperor for a decisive battle.
But what surprised him was that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had already led his army all the way eastward and did not stay in the most prosperous area under his rule. Therefore, he easily recaptured Delhi and wiped out the surrounding untouchable forces.
At this time, he also heard that the Safi Dynasty actually took advantage of the situation and seized the territories in the west of him. In response to this, Shah Jahan had to swallow his anger, leave the west alone, and head east, chasing the traces of the Ming emperor and mopping up the untouchables heading east.
On this day, he finally met his son, Aurangzeb.
