The Emperor now returned to Kabul, and remained there for a year in peace. Again a body of soldiers, craving for action, went off and joined Kamran, and he collected round him a body of nearly 15,000 horse. Haji Muhammad Khan went off without leave to Ghaznin; so Humayun was compelled to march towards Lamghan and interrupt Kamran's proceedings. Then, in concert with the Afghans of Muhmand, the khail of Daudzai, and the chiefs of Lamghan, Kamran went off towards Sind. Humayun remained for a while in Lamghan hunting, and then returned to Kabul. Kamran, supported by the Afghans, again advanced, and once more Humayun marched out against him. Humayun sent to Bairam Khan, governor of Kandahar, directing him by some way or other to go to Ghaznin and secure Haji Muhammad Khan. The Haji had sent to Mirza Kamran, advising him to come to Ghazni, and take possession of the country, for he was ready to show his obedience. Hereupon Kamran marched from Peshawar by way of Bangash and Gurdez towards Ghaznin, but before he could reach there Bairam Khan had entered the city, and Haji Muhammad was compelled to go to him. Bairam Khan and the Haji went together to Kabul, and Kamran, hearing of this on his march, retreated to Peshawar.
