If you can go towards Bengal with the Emperor and the wazir after the rainy season, a great impression would be created; many Ruhela zamindars would join our side. From here Dada will go towards Allahabad via Bundelkhand. You march through the Doab, and this our superior strength will enable you to seize Allahabad by surprise. Thereafter, if Shuja-ud-daulah, on being thus threatened from two sides, cedes Benares and Allahabad and pays a heavy nazar, do you persuade the Emperor and the wazir to give him the Bakhshi-ship. This is our second alternative plan.
