Zaffar was bound in chains and tied to a pole in a tent.. he felt useless," death would have been better than this".. he thought that his move before the war was good.. that day, General Mirza came to meet him.. scenes were playing in his mind..General Mirza was an average looking person, he had a forgettable face and personality.. but behind that there was a master mind.. he was an extraordinary warrior too..
As Zaffar was getting dressed for the war on last day, he came in, he was fiercely loyal to Zaffar, he said, "your highness, I fear that today"s war ..we might lose.. " Zaffar said, "yes, the odds are against us, but we don"t have a choice.. what do you suggest?."
Mirza said, "your highness, today I will be dressed as a common soldier and I will be fighting them.. in case we lose.. I will try to escape and get Shah"s help.. " Zaffar said, "Why will Shah help us.. his men left us..and we don"t have what he wants..Samyukta.." Mirza said, "your highness, Shah is ambitious for valuable treasures.. " Zaffar said irritatedly, "yes, but there is no treasure here.. " Mirza said, "your highness, I read a scroll about a treasure hidden in the mountains of Vindhyas, it remained buried in the ground for hundreds of years.. and no one knows about this in Hindustan.. it is said that this treasure was so valuable that it would be sufficient to feed a hundred generations of a whole country.. " Zaffar said, "Mirza, if there is a treasure that great.. how come no one knows about it..? " he replied, "this treasure was found by Varaha..who was a small king in southern Hindustan during his expedition. .he wrote about it in a scroll, he wanted to submit it to the Gupta dynasty.. before that he was killed by a poisonous snake bite.. this scroll was written in Persian language.. so no one was able to decipher it for a period of time.. I came across this scroll by luck.. "
Zaffar said, "do you have it now? " Mirza nodded and handed him a scroll.. Zaffar read it and his eyes became big with shock.. he said, "this treasure.. negotiate well with Shah.. off you go.. don"t wait for the war.. dress as a common person and leave now.. I am relying on you for this.. " Mirza said, "hail Zaffar! " and left..
Now Mirza was away from the war site and heading towards the Sindhu River..everything depended on him .. if things went smoothly as planned.. they will have Zaffar and the generals freed and they will also have a substantial amount of treasure in their hands.. Shah can have Hindustan and Samyukta.. Zaffar and him would be happy to have part of treasure and Pinaka"s head..
