The allies accordingly proceeded, in the first place, to Koolburga; but when Ibrahim Kootb Shah contemplated the great power of Hoossein Nizam Shah he was unwilling to assist in aggrandising it; after a few days, therefore, he suddenly decamped to Golconda, and his ally, unable to cope singly with the Adil Shahy forces, retreated to Ahmudnuggur. At the period when the united forces of Ally Adil Shah and Ramraj moved against Hoossein Nizam Shah, those princes invited Ibrahim Kootb Shah to join them, to which he was induced from political motives. He was present at the siege of Ahmudnuggur by those monarchs ; but after the fall of the place, according to custom, he suddenly broke up his army, without communicating with the allies, and leaving part of his camp standing, retreated to Golconda. After the war, Ibrahim Kootb Shah sent an envoy to Hoossein Nizam Shah, and begged an alliance with his daughter Beeby Jumally. The latter consented, on condition of Ibrahim Kootb Shah uniting his forces to dispossess Ally Adil Shah of the fort of Kulliany ; and, consequently, in the year 971, the two monarchs marched from their respective capitals to reduce that fortress. - [Previous: 113.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.113.2) - [Next: 113.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.113.4) - [Up: 113](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.113) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.113.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.113.3) · Pramāṇa
