1.8.8

After Kamran escaped, in a forlorn and destitute condition, he reached the foot of the Kabul mountains, where he was met by a party of Hazaras, who plundered him of all he possessed. But one of the Hazaras recognized him, and informed the leader of the band, who conducted him to Zuhak and Bamian, where Sher 'Ali his adherent still remained at the head of a small force. He remained there for a week, and nearly 150 horsemen joined him. Then he marched to Ghori, where Mirza Beg Birlas, the governor of Ghori, with a force of 150 horse and 1000 foot, gave him battle, and was defeated. The horses and asses of the vanquished fell into the hands of the victor. Having gathered some strength, he went to Balkh, where he had a meeting with Pir Muhammad Khan, the ruler. Pir Muhammad followed his own inclination, and came to Badakhshan, to the assistance of Kamran. Ghori and Bakalan fell into the hands of Mirza Kamran, and many soldiers flocked to his standard. Pir Muhammad then returned to his own country. Kamran advanced against Sulaiman Mirza and Ibrahim Mirza, and, as they had no power to resist him, they went away from Talikan to Kolab. Kamran now established his authority over many parts of Badakhshan.
