With the exception of Bidagh Khan and two or three other Amirs, no one remained in the service of Mirza Murad, while the remaining Amirs of the auxiliaries, all returned to ‘Iraq. Humayun was induced by the coming on of the winter winds, to ask Bidagh Khan to provide shelter for the followers of his army within the walls of the city, but that inhuman being invariably sent strangely rough answers. On this account some of the Chaghatai Amirs began to take to flight towards Kabul, among them was Mirza ‘Askari, who was seized on the way and brought to Humayun, who imprisoned him. Many stirring events happened in those days, which led to the delivery of Qandahar from the hands of the Qizilbash. First among these was this, that the Chaghatai Amirs urged upon Humayun the necessity of seizing Qandahar, on account of the coldness of the weather, saying that after the conquest of Kabul and Badakhshan he ought to bestow the greater portion of that place again upon the Qizilbash as compensation, so that due requital might be made them.
