Autumn 1778, Mardan Basin.

The Mardan Basin is also the location of Gandhara Kingdom in the previous life.

The rainy season is here.

In the past year, the situation in Afghanistan has finally become clear.

To the south, 50,000 Baloch people loyal to Herat Governor Mahmoud lost to Ibn, the youngest son of Durani who guarded Kandahar. After besieging Kandahar city for half a year, they were defeated by Ibn by three thousand cavalry, and then they collapsed to the vast area under the jurisdiction of the Governor General Kandahar.

These people obviously became locusts, robbed in the mountains and the countryside, and even the East Baloch people who were Baloch people did not let go, making the entire East Baloch Plateau a purgatory on earth.

Ibn obviously can't stop all this.

The Xibaluch people were so killed that they came to the plains of the lower Indus River. They were naturally attacked by the Toure army. They did not do anything like the Pashtuns, but adopted the strategy of luring the enemy into depth, deliberately exposing the flaws in the great city Hyderabad, attracting nearly 10,000 Xibaluch cavalry to come and siege.

Finally, he was surrounded by Truchen's army. After the battle, the 10,000 Baloch people were almost wiped out, killing more than 8,000 on the spot and capturing more than 1,000.

Toure has allowed more than a thousand Western Baloch people to be nailed to death along the Hubu River on the Beiluchi Plateau. The wooden stakes of Baloch people hang for ten miles long and look spectacular.

This move immediately stopped the eastward advance of the West Baloch people. Not only that, it also caused chaos inside them, and a fire broke out and then rushed back to the West Baloch Plateau.

To the north, Mahmood's army successively captured Chamikar in the north of Kabul City, Ghazni in the south, and Jalalabad in the east. Fifty thousand troops have been surrounding Kabul City. The new Shah Timur Khan of the Afghan Empire has organized many breakthroughs but failed.

But there are at least 20,000 elite Pashtuns in Kabul City, and the tall and sturdy castle is also the best in Afghanistan. It is not easy for Mahmoud to completely capture the city.

Mahmoud also sent people to attack northern Afghanistan. In his eyes, Truchen is completely worth mentioning in front of his about to become the entire Afghan Shah.

The result is naturally predictable. At this time, in Mazar Sharif, Kunduz already had Ashina, and the two armies of the Momen, and the 20,000 cavalry sent by Mahmoud were almost wiped out!

The situation in Afghanistan has changed drastically!

To the east, the Mardan Basin where the Swat River flows through has always been the best place in Afghanistan. The oasis here is vast, fertile land and a large population. It was once the Buddha's kingdom of Gandhara in history, and it was also a must-pass place for the robbery of the Indus River and the Ganges basin from the east.

Here, not only are the Punjabis and Sikhs, but also a large number of Tajiks and Uzbeks who followed Nadirsha because of the "hero's dream" and Durani went to India to rob.

At that time, there was an Uzbek who followed Nadirsha to rob Delhi. It is said that he was a descendant of Sybani Khan, the ancestor of the Bukhara Khanate. He was brave and good at fighting and was adopted by Nadirsha as his adopted son. After Nadirsha returned from India, he asked him to guard Peshawar (Gandhara).

After Dulani rose, he married his daughter to him, so he almost became the governor of the eastern part of the empire. Whether it was Nadirsha or Dulani, it was easy to enter the Indus River and Ganges basin, but if someone blocked Peshawar, their large amount of seizures would obviously not be taken back smoothly.

Therefore, no matter who comes to power, he tolerated the existence of this person.

Adani, the name of this Uzbek warlord, is forty-eight years old this year.

Due to his existence, a large number of Uzbeks and Tajiks came to surrender. By this year, these two people in Peshawar had become the masters of the local Pashtuns and Punjabis.

Adani has 10,000 Uzbek cavalry under his command, so he naturally cannot compete with Afghanistan. However, the Indus River lies across the east and the Khyber Pass in the west, so he can control it. He can be completely self-owned and does not have to look at the faces of others.

However, as long as you are a human, you have ambitions, let alone Adani, who has 10,000 elite cavalry?

Naturally, he did not dare to go west to participate in the Battle of Kabul, but he could still do it to the east, fighting the Indus Plain.

What's more, the Sikhs who originally controlled the entire middle reaches of the Indus River and owned the entire Punjab were defeated recently and lost a large number of elite Kasar soldiers in the Battle of Multan, which gave Adani an opportunity.

All ethnic groups in Afghanistan, no matter where they come from, once they enter the place, they will naturally have the genes that like to rob. For Adani, it is impossible to compete with the Truqins for strength. Warlords like him will not take them to heart until they really meet the Truqins.

By the way, the first belt of Rawalpin in later generations was also his sphere of influence. In addition to 10,000 Uzbek cavalry, he also had 10,000 infantry mainly Punjabi and Pashtun people.

Adani in Peshawar, Lavalpin's first zone adopted the same policy as Nadirsha and Dulani, which was to build a new aristocratic class with his own tribe as the core, and to draw a large number of farmers who can serve as infantry from the locals to become infantrymen, making them become stern commanders like registered Cossacks.

In this way, he could hold the vast areas of the rich Peshawar and Rawalpindi firmly in his hands.

Autumn is the season of harvest, and it is also an extremely suitable season for Afghans who are good at plundering.

Adani couldn't hold back.

He let the three thousand infantry guard the Khyber Pass and personally led the eight thousand cavalry and the eight thousand infantry into Punjab!

At this time, Rajasingh, who was defeated in Multan, did not return to the abyssal city of Lahore, but came to Amritsar, the holy land of Sikhism, where he was forming a new Kasar.

After entering the Indus Plain, Adani immediately became unstoppable and easily occupied a large city like Faisalabad and Gujlanwara, and seized a large amount of population and property, which gave Adani an illusion.

“Can I replace the Sikhs as the master of Punjab?”

Without any suspense, he led his troops to only take Lahore!

At this time, a large army of 20,000 people gathered around Rajasingh, and the two sides immediately launched a war near Lahore.

Rajasingh could not beat Toure, but he was a match against Adani.

As a result, the two sides launched a protracted tug-of-war around Lahore City.

The news soon reached Toure, stationed in Multan.

A year later, the Truchens showed their determination to take root in the middle of the Indus River. Multan, which was originally just a dirt city, has become a tall, towering, solid city with bricks.

At the same time, their intelligence work has also made great progress.

Their intelligence personnel had infiltrated Girard in Peshawar and Pamir Plateau, thus establishing telegraph contacts with Talucan.

Also, in order to support Toure's Indus River Guide, the Governor General of Hexian Town has reinforced another brigade here, which was the brigade of former Secretary Halachi of Qitad.

So, Toure had five brigades under his command!

In addition to his personal division, there are also Huriji brigade, Dengduke brigade, Ajia Junichiro brigade, and Haraqi brigade.

In addition, in the past year, he formed three militia brigades from local Sindhis and migrant Assam, Bengal and Alakans.

After defeating the Xibaluch people, he asked the Huriji brigade and the Dengduke brigade to be stationed in Hyderabad and Karachi, and personally led three brigades to Multan.

Now the former company commander of the investigation, the current intelligence chief Huslen, Ajia Junichiro, Haraqi, secretary Yue Bing and others are all here, and even the former Lama Rob Zang Danzeng of the Turgut Khanate appeared here!

It seems that the news that the Truqins were about to take down the ancient Gandhara Buddha Kingdom also shocked him and he came here even though he traveled across the ocean.

With the telegram, Huslen's intelligence work can improve significantly compared to before.

"Your Highness, everyone"

Huslen is reporting the latest situation.

"First of all, Your Majesty sets the tone for us, that is, if the Sikhs fight against the Peshawars, support the Sikhs at critical moments, and then remove the Sikh alliance and let them use it for me"

"Hehe, I don't know where His Majesty learned that the Sikhs here all like to wear a thick red headscarf. He jokingly called it the Red-headed A San, but I don't know what it means"

"But no matter what, let the two sides consume each other until almost the same thing, we will take action again. This time, the Governor of Peshawar Adani came in person, and he must cut off his retreat no matter what."

“The place where Multan is located is the Chinab River, a tributary of the Indus River, which is on the east side, and the Indus River flows south from the eastern foot of Mount Suleiman”

"The Adani army came down from Daudheil, who flowed into the plains of the Indus River, and then went east out of the Miyanwali Pass and east out of the Great Plain. As long as you occupy Miyanwali, you can strangle the retreat"

"So, I suggest that at the right time, dive from a brigade along the eastern bank of the Indus River near Miyanwali..."

Toure shook his head, "It's still early, let's talk about news from other places first"

Huslen nodded, "Adani's army entered the Great Plains about 20,000, and the Sikhs in Lahore are almost the same. After nearly a month of fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy losses. There are at most 12,000 people around Adani, and Rajasingh only has about 15,000 people."

"Adani obviously regretted it and did not escape as soon as possible, but now they are firmly entangled by the Sikhs and cannot escape. If the cavalry escaped first, then the captures that they had worked hard can't be taken away. He can only try his best"

"For Rajasingh, the last time he was defeated by our army, if the Peshawars were allowed to leave, he would not be the master of the Sikh League, which he could not tolerate"

"Rajasingh is a local war, and at that time, there will only be more and more people gathered around him. However, Alam II made trouble in Eastern Punjab again, which made it impossible for him to put a large number of troops into the vicinity of Lahore, otherwise the war would have ended long ago"

"As for Afghanistan, Mahmoud's army is still stepping up its attack on Kabul. Kabul city has stored food and grass for the 20,000 Durani elites who spent in a year. It is coming to an end now. The mountain tribes are the most fickle. It is easy to say when there was enough food and grass"

"Once the food and grass are exhausted, then there will be another change in Kabul city"

"As far as we know, after a year of war, Mahmood's army also dropped from 100,000 to about 60,000 at the beginning. Moreover, there are quite a large number of Dulani people in the south. Although they adopted the strategy of watching the wall, if Mahmood took the lead, they would still fight out."
