Chapter 697: The Chaotic Battle in Central Asia
When Omar saw Zheng Yue Ru, he was completely numb.
The people of this Putu Dynasty were also numb.
Big sister!
Why have you appeared again!
We had already begun preparing for battle, and in two days, we were going to fight. You just ran over here?
The group of civil and military officials were all stunned.
They stared blankly at the white-haired Omar.
Sultan?
What should we do?
Omar let out a howl, "What do you mean what should we do! Hurry and prepare the formation for me to welcome the Longyan Temple Envoy!"
Quick!
Put down your weapons, offer up flowers, and take out the khata!
Dance!
What? Change clothes?
No!
No need to change!
The clothes of our Turkic people are enough!
For a moment.
The soldiers of the Putu Dynasty verified a truth known to all since ancient times: they were not only a nomadic people capable of fighting well, but also grassland performers capable of singing and dancing.
In Liu Zheng's past life, it was the Maxim machine gun that achieved this.
But now.
It is Longyan.
It is the Liangzhou Army.
It is Zheng Yue Ru.
Omar left the city in tears, bringing his group of ministers with him.
The torment of this period had turned all his hair white, as if he had suddenly aged several decades.
When he saw Zheng Yue Ru, he was like a son seeing his own mother.
"Putu Kingdom, respectfully welcomes the Longyan Envoy!"
"Respectfully welcome the Longyan Envoy!"
With a loud shout, the whole scene followed suit and knelt in worship.
Singing and dancing, not to mention the humbleness.
The posture was too low.
Omar's posture could be considered the lowest it could possibly be!
Although she came late...
At least she came!
No need to fight!
If there could be peace, who would want to fight?
In his position, Omar originally did not want to kneel, but whether out of genuine fear or his legs simply going weak, the moment he arrived before Zheng Yue Ru, he stumbled and knelt down.
Zheng Yue Ru had originally been looking at the tearfully excited Omar with a calm expression.
A thought suddenly popped into her mind.
Look at how scared this child is.
The young master is truly too wicked.
"Sultan, this, this must not be, this must absolutely not be!"
Although Zheng Yue Ru was in a disheveled state, she hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
Omar, however, did not care about that; he stubbornly refused to get up, sobbing as he said, "General Zheng, General Zheng, you must uphold justice for our Putu Kingdom! The General suffering disaster this time was indeed the dereliction of duty of the Putu Kingdom, failing to fulfill the duties of a host. But since receiving the news of General Zheng's disaster, my entire nation has been incomparably indignant, mobilizing at least one hundred thousand soldiers to search for the whereabouts of the two Generals..."
"Yet today, General Qin's army is pressing on the border, and Putu is terrified..."
"Terrified!"
He spoke with tears streaming down his face, incomparably sorrowful.
The civil and military officials behind him were likewise sobbing uncontrollably.
As the saying goes, if the ruler is humiliated, the subject dies.
If the Sultan was this humble, how could they be otherwise?
All of Kabul was plunged into a tragic and solemn atmosphere.
It was settled.
Zheng Yue Ru smiled faintly: "Sultan, why be like this? The Silk Road belongs to the young master; encountering bandits on the road was not what you or I wished for. General Qin and I are like siblings, so his worry is natural. Rest assured, Sultan, when he arrives, I will speak on your behalf, and I will certainly ensure Putu is free from worry!"
Omar was thrilled, expressing his gratitude in every way possible.
This was the one sentence he wanted.
Instantly, all of Kabul.
Was once again filled with the sound of gongs and drums, welcoming these two into the city. No matter which angle you looked at it from, this scene was still somewhat comical. Two people dressed in rags were being welcomed in by these gorgeously dressed Putu people as if they were their own parents.
Zheng Yue Ru and Lian Guang could finally have a proper bath.
Omar was truly relieved.
A banquet!
A grand banquet!
With singing and dancing, make it as lively as possible.
And announce it on the spot.
General Zheng, who had been missing for over two months, has arrived; not only has she arrived, but she has also forgiven the Putu Kingdom and is currently negotiating matters for continued deep cooperation between the two countries.
This news, like a pig's trotter that had sprouted wings, caused everyone in this Central Asia region where Islam prevails to bristle with rage.
Aurangzeb, who was slaughtering in a small village on the border of the Putu Kingdom, did not let the Curved Saber he had raised in his hand fall again.
What the hell?
The Liangzhou Army is not attacking Putu anymore?
He traveled such a long way for nothing.
You say you won't attack, so you just stop?
This consumption of military provisions and supplies, isn't that money?
At this, the other few countries were delighted.
Things have gone off the rails, haven't they?
Not only is the Longyan Army not attacking Putu anymore, but it is very likely that they are just waiting for you to go to Kabul; if you dare to go, these fifty thousand Liangzhou troops, once united, could devour your one hundred thousand troops!
At this moment.
Aurangzeb was embarrassed.
Caught in a dilemma.
Looking left, looking right.
Who is Aurangzeb? Ever since he ascended the throne, he has been in constant warfare; he is an extremely fanatical warmonger. He even ignores the various intensifying contradictions within his own country, just fighting wars, just fighting wars. Therefore, this period is known as the late Mughal period; the increasingly vast territory under his command at this time is actually internally fragile and is completely an empty shell.
Such a person.
You want him to return home in disgrace in front of these few countries in Central Asia?
Impossible!
He cannot do it!
The loss is a small matter, but face is a big matter.
And so.
Aurangzeb gritted his teeth.
He flipped through the map.
Fight!
Continue to fight!
It's just that the direction is adjusted slightly, leaning to the west, and continuing to attack these small cities of the Putu Kingdom!
However.
Once you head west like this, trouble starts.
Where is the west of the Putu Kingdom?
The Safavid Dynasty.
The Safavid Dynasty originally intended to hide on the sidelines and watch the show, but they were dragged into the water by Aurangzeb's actions. Your direction of travel is wrong! If you want to attack Putu, then attack Putu; why are you pushing toward my side?
It's a mess.
It became chaotic all of a sudden.
The Safavid Dynasty is, after all, the territory of the Persian people, and they have never gotten along with this Mughal.
The Safavid Dynasty, which was originally watching the show, immediately mobilized one hundred thousand troops and began to station them in the borderlands.
However.
Just when everyone was excited that Aurangzeb might want to have a battle of the century with the Safavid Dynasty.
Bukhara suddenly realized something.
No.
Something is not right.
Because Aurangzeb's direction of travel is also aimed at them!
With this tilt to the west and then a move to the north, wouldn't the Bukharan Khanate be the first to bear the brunt?
The land of Transoxiana, which has always been coveted by others, has nerves that are quite sensitive in Bukhara.
This fellow Aurangzeb is going to abandon morality!
He had agreed not to have designs on Bukhara, but he likely stumbled at the Putu Dynasty and dared not go head-to-head with the Longyan Army, so he wants to try to seize the land of Transoxiana; if he can conquer it, all the better, and if he can't, he shouldn't waste this consumption of military provisions and supplies—fight a bit, clash a bit, and if it really doesn't work out, turn around and run.
In the following few days, the direction of Aurangzeb's army's advance confirmed his thoughts.
No one expected it.
A chaotic battle in Central Asia began just like this.
So caught off guard.
If one were to learn the cause and effect, it would surely make people laugh and cry at the same time.
