The Sun and the Lion

For the Haltivar Order, Azerbaijan has nothing to miss. The Aries Dynasty that supported it has been torn to pieces, and it is not known how long it will take for it to recover.

The Safavid sect is a hateful heresy. Not only do they have strong military power, but they also implement strict religious policies. Not only the Haltiwa sect, but also any religious property that does not belong to the Safavid sect. All were taken away. Moreover, Ibrahim, who was short of money, not only confiscated farmland, herds, etc., but even Gongbei and mausoleums were not spared.

In short, the heretics still in Azerbaijan have only two options left, either to flee to an area willing to accept refugees, or to surrender to Ibrahim.

"Sheikh, the caravan is ready."

At the hideout on the Armenian border, the small door was opened, making some noise due to neglect. The henchman came in and reported the news to Gulshani.

Gulshani kept the letters sent by the Ottomans and received the new letters sent by his close associates.

Although most of the religious property was confiscated, after a wave of operations by Gulshani, some cash was dispersed and hidden, while livestock and fields were distributed to local followers. At this juncture when the group was about to move to Ottoman, the property must be transferred. He ordered cash from various places to be withdrawn and all real estate to be liquidated. Then he used the money to form a caravan and left from Taburi. The soldiers set out for Trabzon, where they were responsible for taking away the remaining property of the order.

Thousands of priests of the order will cross the border in batches with their followers. Ibrahim's policy of religious oppression has been implemented for a long time. Every month, "die-hard elements" who are unwilling to convert to Shiism break away from Ibrahim's rule. Most of them flee to Diyarbakir and Baghdad, hoping to The power of these two sultans can be used to destroy the rule of Ibrahim.

After Diyarbakır and Baghdad and further west is the eastern border of the Ottomans and Mamluk Syria.

However, Gulshani did not want to risk his life. In the letter, Bayezid allowed him and all members of the order to move to Asia Minor and promised to give them wakf.

Obtaining permission and asylum from the Ottoman Padishah does not mean that everything will be fine. He must first be able to escape and escape to Ottoman territory. Moreover, there are also people from the Safavid Order in the Ottoman territory, and the red-headed tribes on the eastern border are also an obstacle.

Even if he was killed by Qizilbash, he would die in vain. Bayezid would not go to war with Ibrahim because of this.

However, the plan is going well so far, and dozens of priests have successfully crossed the border and left Azerbaijan. In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, Gulshani planned to blend in with this group of refugees and leave the place during the chaos.

"Go and see what's going on outside." Gulshani ordered his cronies to go to the village to check on the situation. And he put on the clothes worn by ordinary herdsmen.

Enduring the roughness of the linen, he walked out of the yard, stepping on the solid but not very clean dirt road.

By the time the Shaykh of the Haltivar Order came out of his hiding place, the refugees were already in action. Different from the previous escapes, this group of people numbered hundreds, and they also brought carts and livestock.

Gulshani was not in a hurry and just followed the team with his cronies, waiting to leave the village. This fleeing team has no organization at all, and the monks hiding among them just go their separate ways.

Because the team was bloated and chaotic, the entire refugee team only traveled about ten kilometers from departure to rest at night.

In the middle of the night, the moon in the sky spreads light to the ground, making the view at night not too bad. Gulshani was lying on the ground wrapped in a blanket. His palms were sweating and he had to wipe them with a corner of the blanket. Like Bayezid II, he was also an opium addict.

He was so nervous that he couldn't sleep at all. He could only say that escaping from the tiger's mouth was really exciting.

Some of his cronies were resting and some were keeping vigil, forming a contrast with the lazy refugees not far away. The sheep, on the other hand, were starving where they were - after all, it wasn't spring yet and there was no grass on the ground.

"There are bonfires, not many in number, and the layout is very messy." Kehobard, who was observing the refugee group and leading the team to hunt down this group of illegal immigrants, said to himself. He still led a hundred men and was responsible for guarding the road to Nakhichevan.

After receiving Talish Khan's request, Ibrahim found time to carefully read the battle report handed over by Gaolaberi in the study, and also called him to come and dictate it himself.

He thought that Ibrahim summoned him into the palace to verify the battle report because he did not trust him. Whether it was the battle report or the oral report, Gaolaberi was very consistent. He described in detail several officers under his command who fought bravely, and said that the list was attached at the end of the battle report, hoping to obtain "fair and generous" rewards for his men.

Afterwards, Ibrahim received Kehobad in the big tent outside the city.

"Are you the Kehobard mentioned by Emil Gaolabery? My uncle's youngest son and a cousin I have never met before?"

The scene of his first meeting with the King of Kings is still fresh in his memory. He relied on his military exploits and his father's recommendation to catch the eye of his cousin, giving him a chance to express himself.

This opportunity is to lead troops to suppress various religious groups in Azerbaijan. He is still a centurion and mainly controls the road south of Nakhichevan to prevent important targets from escaping from Armenia.

He divided his troops into ten-man teams and hid on both sides of the road to ambush the unsuspecting refugees. However, since there were a lot of people to deal with this time, Kehobard decided to concentrate his efforts.

The red heads deployed in the woods inspected their equipment for the last time before the war under the supervision of the captains. Half of this hundred-man team are new recruits, and their training is not very good yet. Being sent to hunt down heretics this time can be regarded as practice.

After making the final adjustments, Kehobard ordered the trumpeter beside him: "Blow the trumpet and let the soldiers attack!"

The low sound of the trumpet almost woke everyone up. Gulshani hurriedly lifted the blanket, stood up and asked, "What happened?"

And his cronies were in chaos.

The red heads burst out of the darkness and quickly approached the bewildered team. Soon, the horse's hooves stepped into the group, and the red hat was deeply embedded in the refugees.

It wasn't until Kehobad penetrated the entire team that Gulshani realized what had happened. But fortunately, his disguise meant that he didn't get any special care, it was just that the sheep was gone.

But he couldn't run away.
