At the end of the year Humayun left Kabul, with the intention of proceeding against Balkh, and a person went to Kolab to summon Mirza Kamran and Mirza 'Askari. When His Majesty reached Badakhshan, Mirza Ibrahim and Mirza Hindal came to wait upon him, and at the instance of Mirza Sulaiman, Mirza Ibrahim was left at Kisham. Mirza Kamran and Mirza 'Askari once more showed their hostility, and did not come in to pay their homage. Humayun marched on to the fort of Aibak, and the atalik of Pir Muhammad Khan, governor of Balkh, with several of his chief nobles, had to take refuge in the fort, which Humayun then invested. The Uzbeks being reduced to extremity surrendered at discretion.
