On this occasion Feroze Khan and Heibut Khan, sons of the late king, and uncles to Ahmud Shah, having determined to oppose him, raised troops in Baroach, and invited Sooltan Hooshung to march to their assistance. Hooshung, unmindful of the generosity of Moozuffur Shah, and forgetting the personal obligations he owed to Ahmud Shah, recollected only the first cause of the invasion of Malwa, and therefore resolved to march and lay waste part of Guzerat. Ahmud Shah having taken timely precautions, marched with a large force direct to Baroach, where the pretender and his brother were reduced to throw themselves on his mercy, while Sooltan Hooshung returned immediately to D’har. But so restless was the disposition of this prince, or so inveterate his enmity to the King of Guzerat, that he shortly afterwards involved himself in a new war. In the year 816, having heard that Ahmud Shah had marched against the Raja of Julwara, and invested his capital, Sooltan Hooshung, in spite of the gratitude he owed the King of Guzerat, led an army into his territory, and laid it waste. Ahmud Shah for the present postponed the attack on Julwara, and sent his troops to the east, towards Champanere, when Sooltan Hooshung fled with precipitation to Malwa. - [Previous: 223.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.223.1.5) - [Next: 223.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.223.1.7) - [Up: 223.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.223.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.223.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.223.1.6) · Pramāṇa
