Two or three English officers fell into the hands of the Mughals of the Nawab's army, and this obliged the English to propose terms of peace through the Mughal chiefs, who at their request advised the Nawab to accept the terms. Beni Bahadur, and some other short-sighted and ignorant people dissuaded him from liberating the English officers, and he would not agree to peace. This created enmity and disaffection in the minds of the Mughal chiefs against the Nawab, and they accordingly entered into an understanding with the English, that if they delivered the Nawab into the hands of the English on the day of battle, they should be rewarded with appointments in the provinces. The Nawab, being apprised of this, was greatly alarmed, because the Mughals were the most powerful body in his army. When the armies prepared to engage, the Mughals stood aloof, and as the Nawab's affairs were reduced to a desperate condition, and a battle could not be hazarded, he broke up his camp near Jaunpur, and retreated towards Lucknow. - [Previous: 7.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.9) - [Next: 7.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.11) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.chahar-gulzar-i-shujai~en-elliot.7.10) · Pramāṇa
