The united forces encamping near Kohram, assumed a very formidable appearance. The Vizier again took the field, but discovered a treasonable correspondence in his camp; wherein some of his officers had concerted a plan with a faction in the city to deliver up Dehly to the insurgents in his absence. Letters to this effect being intercepted by the minister, instant notice of the circumstance was given to the King in Dehly, who caused the conspirators in the city to be secured. Meanwhile, the confederates, according to the projected plan, marched with a body of chosen cavalry 200 miles in two days, and advanced to the city gates, where they expected to meet their friends; but finding themselves disappointed, and the King's troops marching against them, they entirely dispersed. The chief of Sind retired to his government, but Kootloogh Khan was never again heard of. Towards the latter end of this year, a Mogul army having crossed the Indus, Nasir-ood-Deen marched to oppose them; but the Moguls retired at his approach, and he returned to his capital, confiding the province of Punjab to the minister's nephew, Sheer Khan, while Mullik Julal-ood-Deen Khany was sent to Bengal. - [Previous: 32.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.32.2.3) - [Next: 32.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.32.2.5) - [Up: 32.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.32.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.32.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.32.2.4) · Pramāṇa
