Thinking of this, Abbas II's eyes were fixed on Aurangzeb. He suddenly had a vague feeling that this Aurangzeb was a bit difficult to deal with and was playing tricks.
Yes, Aurangzeb had other ideas.
Originally, Aurangzeb wanted to return to the east soon and have a decisive battle with the Ming army on the road.
Unexpectedly, Abbas II wanted to meet him and gave Shah Jahan to him. Suddenly, he suddenly thought of what Abbas II was worried about. It was simply because he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the Ming emperor, and then the Ming army would attack all the way to the west and eventually become the enemy of the Safavid dynasty.
Therefore, Abbas II wanted to try his best to have no worries and go to a decisive battle with the Ming army. It would be best to defeat the Ming army. In this way, Aurangzeb will definitely suffer a lot, which is definitely a very favorable situation for Abbas II.
Even if the Ming army cannot be defeated, it will definitely consume a lot of the Ming army's combat power. If the Ming army continues to advance westward, the pressure on Abbas II will be much less.
The best-case scenario is that both Aurangzeb and the Ming army will suffer losses. Maybe Abbas II can take the opportunity to annex the entire Mughal Empire.
Haha, this Abbas II has a good idea, he really thinks that I, Aurangzeb, is easy to fool!
Aurangzeb thought so in his heart, it depends on how Abbas II will respond. Now, his thinking is very clear, that is, it is best to drag Abbas II into the water.
Yes, Abbas II actually had this idea. Thinking that if the Ming army was too strong, he could even waive the conditions promised by the Mughals before, allowing Aurangzeb to concentrate all his efforts on fighting the Ming army.
But at this time, after hearing Aurangzeb's words, Abbas II knew that he might not be able to do what he wished.
Of course, he did not think that Aurangzeb would really lead his troops south to temporarily avoid the Ming army. His statement may be more of blackmail.
Abbas II stared at Aurangzeb and suddenly smiled slightly and said: "You are not worried that the Ming Emperor will get rid of you quickly. You know, if you don't get rid of this big army, how can he occupy you with peace of mind?" The Mughals are even less likely to go west and create another powerful enemy!"
Upon hearing this, Aurangzeb was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had met his opponent in chess. He felt that Abbas II was very difficult to deal with. But on the surface, of course, he couldn't back down immediately. He just said nonchalantly: "You don't know, this Ming Emperor is a lunatic. Think about it, a normal person, a dignified Ming Emperor, can lead 20,000 people by himself." The cavalry, just go as far as Kashmir and fight in, and then fight all the way to the east? If it were you, would you do this?"
Abbas II couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this. It seemed that the Ming emperor was indeed a madman. He only had 20,000 cavalry. He dared to do such a thing. Could it be that he really thought that with only 20,000 cavalry, he was in the Moghul? Is your son invincible? You know, the Mughals are neither a weak country nor a small country!
"If it were you, with millions of troops on Dongwu's side, where would you attack the Mughals first? Even if the attack is frustrated, you can retreat safely." Aurangzeb continued to analyze there, " But the Ming Emperor didn’t do much! Can you understand? He is a complete lunatic, a very arrogant lunatic!"
At this point, he changed the topic and returned to the previous topic: "So, if Ben Khan leads his troops south, avoids his edge and shows his weakness, maybe he will continue to fight west. The Ming Dynasty It’s really possible for a lunatic like the emperor to do something!”
Seeing that Abbas II was silent and just thinking. Aurangzeb sneered in his heart, and continued to say to him: "I won't hide it from you. When the time comes, I will hide in the south. When he attacks Lahore or something, he will take a rest first." . After turning back and resting, you can either go north to fight the Ming Emperor for a decisive battle, or you can go around and take his food route. What do you think of Ben Khan's strategy?"
At this point, Aurangzeb stopped talking. He was very proud and looked at Abbas II to see how he would take the move.
Abbas II did not speak immediately, but just thought in his heart. To be honest, he still underestimated how crazy the Ming Emperor turned out to be. If it were true as Aurangzeb described, what he said could really happen!
Thinking about this, Abbas II couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Why can a lunatic like the Ming Emperor survive to this day? You should have been taught a lesson for being so arrogant, right? Could it be that he is really powerful?
Abbas II was a promising monarch, and the Safi Dynasty was revived in his hands for a time. However, he died early and the son who succeeded him was young. In the end, the Safi Dynasty that he finally revived was defeated. .
Since he himself is a promising monarch, it is naturally not easy to admire other monarchs who are very powerful. Especially when you haven't really fought against each other yet and just heard about it.
In this way, Emperor Chongzhen came to the conclusion in Abbas II's mind that he was an emperor who had certain abilities, but was indeed a very arrogant emperor.
If a situation like what Aurangzeb said really happens, Abbas II actually has a way to deal with it. That is to abandon Lahore and lead the troops to retreat westward. Without the fat in front of him, he believed that no matter how arrogant the Ming Emperor was, he would never be able to chase him and bite him.
Aurangzeb's hundreds of thousands of troops were there. Although the Ming emperor was crazy, he was definitely not a fool. He would definitely return his troops to destroy Aurangzeb's side first.
However, as he thought, Lahore was just a big piece of fat, and of course he would not be willing to spit it out like this.
I thought to myself, on the surface, Abbas II did not show weakness, he just pretended to smile and said nonchalantly: "If he really dares to come, I hope to meet him to see how powerful he is. , I’m still awesome!”
Although he said this, Aurangzeb roughly estimated what he was thinking from the fact that he had been thinking about it for a long time, and he sneered at Abbas II's statement. , but on the surface, he said with sincerity: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is far away in the east, but now he has led his troops to come to us. His ambition is so great that he is probably the most powerful person in the world. If he is not defeated, It will not be easy for us. Therefore, Ben Khan sincerely suggests that if we join forces, we can definitely defeat the Ming Emperor. What do you think?"
This is still a human saying! Abbas II heard this and thought in his heart.
Now that Aurangzeb had revealed his final plan, he had to think about it seriously, and then asked Aurangzeb: "Do you want me to lead my troops deep into your Mughals?"
Aurangzeb was definitely not willing to do this. Otherwise, even if the Ming Emperor could be defeated, what would happen if Abbas II had the intention of annexing the Mughals?
Aurangzeb knew that it was easy to ask God but hard to send him away.
"You don't need to go to such trouble. I will welcome the Ming Emperor to march westward!" Aurangzeb pondered for a moment, and then said, "You can't go too far to the west. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Ming Emperor will be alert, so just in Pa How about Nipat? When our two countries join forces to attack the Ming Emperor’s troops, we will definitely be able to keep him, right?”
Panipat is a blessed place of the Mughal Empire. Both Babur and Akbar, the two emperors of the Mughal Empire, achieved far-reaching battle victories here. Of course, you have to ignore the idiot Shashuja, because he fought a defeat here that also had a profound impact on the Mughals.
After hearing Aurangzeb's suggestion, Abbas II thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of the friendship between our two countries, I am willing to help you defeat the Ming Emperor. But there is one thing that needs to be confirmed. Others I can give up the conditions, but the area west of Panipat will belong to me from now on. Do you have any opinion on this?"
No matter who it is, they will definitely not be willing to have a piece of flesh taken from their bodies. However, the fact today is that these places have been actually occupied by Abbas II, and now they still need to rely on Abbas II's military power. Therefore, even if Aurangzeb was unwilling to give in, he could only endure it.
Of course, although Aurangzeb tolerated it now, it does not mean that he will tolerate it in the future.
With this thought in his mind, on the surface he laughed and said, "Okay, as you said, how about we make a blood alliance?"
After discussing the most important things, the two kings, both famous in history, didn't care about the details. They acted like brothers and immediately began to act as blood allies. As for how effective this agreement is, both of them actually know it well.
However, what the two of them never expected was that Odom, who had been by their side all the time, was actually the "gold medal undercover" of the Ming Dynasty, and continuously passed everything they discussed to Emperor Chongzhen.
Through the eavesdropping system, when he first saw the news, Emperor Chongzhen was really shocked. He didn't expect that he didn't go to trouble the Persian Empire, but Abbas II jumped out and wanted to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
"Haha, if that's the case, then I won't be polite!" Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart. He didn't need to make excuses anymore, he already had enough reasons to attack the Persian Empire.
According to the plan, this Persian Empire was to be conquered and placed under the direct control of the Ming Dynasty. Because beneath this land, together with the Arabian Peninsula, are the richest oil reserves in the world.
As for whether he could win the combined attack between the Mughals and the Safi Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen was not worried at all.
