The Sun and the Lion

Before the red heads retreated, the Guregani army always huddled behind the guardrail and the horse, allowing the red heads to recover the bodies of their comrades. After they all left the battlefield and returned to Mashhad, the Guregani army took action.

In the wilderness near this unknown village, in this valley, Hussin Baihara lost almost all his cavalry, and also lost a large number of nobles.

Although he relied on his infantry to hold on to the final blow of the Safavid army, it could not change the fact that the Guregani army had fallen apart. The infantrymen used makeshift fortifications to resist desperately under the "Emir's order" and more to fight for their lives.

In the fierce battle just now, the organization of the army has been completely disrupted, and the situation of the Guregani army can only be described as chaos.

If the chief officer is the brain and the soldiers make up the torso and limbs, then the officer in the middle is the nerves. This army that barely survived was like a wounded man whose nerves were severely damaged.

The numerous casualties among the nobles—especially the deaths of several Mirzas—triggered panic in the army, and Hussin Baihara's control over the army continued to decline. After returning to the camp, the belongings of the war dead left in the camp were looted, and thefts also occurred from the army's public baggage.

Hussin Baihara had to personally go out with his own soldiers to put an end to the chaos in the camp. However, in the chaos, it was unknown how many soldiers had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

If he returned to Herat with such an army, he would probably run away without a trace.

It would undoubtedly be much more convenient to just run back to Herat with his own soldiers, but this is the worst option. As a monarch, he will lose face. After losing his prestige, he will soon fall into internal and external troubles.

Hussin Baihara decided to stabilize the remaining army while sending envoys to negotiate peace with Ibrahim, hoping that he would forgive him. Even if it didn't work, it could be used as a delaying measure.

………………

In the large tent near the village of Sambast, Ibrahim looked at the senior officers with a straight face. Romlu Khan, Talish Khan, Hashayar and others had frustrated looks on their faces.

Rough statistics show that during the day's fighting, the Safavid army and horses lost thousands in total.

Most of the people present were tribal nobles, and every dead person dragged back was a young man from the tribe. The loss of one of these warriors made them feel very distressed. Even if all the Guleggani cavalry were crushed, but no loot was obtained, it was still a loss-making business.

But life still had to go on, and Ibrahim finally called the Khans to a meeting to discuss the next battle plan. Everyone is gearing up and planning to completely crush Hussin Baihara during the day tomorrow.

In order to deal with those annoying guardrails and blocking horses, Ibrahim planned to ask Mashhad to transport kerosene, and then send a team of death squads to burn a way for his side under the cover of archers.

The cavalry surrounding the battlefield will ensure that no Guregani soldier can escape the encirclement, and it does not matter how long the fire burns.

The staff member who had just gone out on business came back: "Your Majesty, there is something you need to handle."

The envoy sent by Hussin Baihara was escorted in by the bowmen. The traces of being interrogated were clearly visible on his body. Ibrahim looked at this prisoner who was forced to kneel down in front of him, covering him. Gaze's hood was also removed.

"Who is your master? What is the purpose of coming here?" Ibrahim asked him slowly.

This man had just been tortured, and after he had calmed down a little, he gasped and replied: "I am the emir... the envoy of Hussin Baihara, and I have been ordered by my Lord to negotiate peace with you..."

After saying this, the envoy saw a look of disdain quickly appear on the faces of the Khans. He could already guess that they would firmly support the continued fighting and would not let go of the crippled Guregani army.

Ibrahim glanced at the surrounding staff and kings of Khans, and first ordered: "First arrange for the envoy to rest outside. Your request will be answered after we discuss it."

With an order, the envoy, who was beaten all over with bruises, was dragged out.

As he expected, the tribal nobles immediately began to object: "Your Majesty, although our army did not achieve a complete victory in the day's battle, it has been reduced to human pigs at our disposal. Hussin Baihara suddenly Requesting peace talks is nothing more than a panicked move out of fear of being frightened by the power of our army."

Ibrahim agreed with this: "Yes, I think so too. He can't even successfully escape in front of our army now."

Unbeknownst to Ibrahim, his army killed a large number of the Quleghani nobles in the battle, leaving the Hussin Baihara military camp in such disarray that it became a kicked beach castle.

But this doesn't stop him from using his brain. Find the bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com

"However, I would like to negotiate with Hussin Baihara and see what he can offer. Besides, it is an honor for me to talk to the descendants of Timur."

Then he confessed his thoughts to everyone in the assembly. The King of Kings did not intend to have a frank meeting with Hussin Baihara.

He planned to make an agreement with Hussin Baihara through an envoy, and each party would bring a small number of attendants to meet him. But the Khan kings would ambush with red heads. After Ibrahim formally raided Hussin Baihara's team, the red heads who had ambush rushed to reinforcements as quickly as possible.

However, the Khan kings were worried that Ibrahim would have some troubles, so they still suggested that they directly intimidate the envoy to lead the way. The red heads could just go directly to his nest, violently bombard him and capture him alive.

"There are too many variables in this case, but it is a good idea to raid the enemy camp."

In the end, Ibrahim overcame all objections and forcibly passed the plan: "You don't need to worry that the plan will eventually fail. I am a prophet blessed by Huda! Since you respect me as a Sheikh and recognize my status, So how can we doubt Huda’s shadow on the earth?”

In the end, the messenger failed to enter the big tent again, but a guard came out and said to him: "My monarch can negotiate with your master, but not through you, a humble servant. If you are sincere in negotiating, then pray at noon tomorrow At that time, each of them will bring fifty guards for an interview, do you understand?"

The messenger nodded quickly.

"Then go back to your master quickly, go!" The guard raised his whip like a dog, frightening the envoy to leave quickly, but due to his haste, he lost his center of gravity and fell, causing the surrounding soldiers to burst into laughter.

In the end, the bowmen who escorted him over covered his head again and sent him out of the camp.
