Ibrahim Lody sent him to Hansy, but gave private orders for his assassination on the road. What charms can there be in power, which can induce a man to shed the blood of his own brother? Nor was Ibrahim satisfied with the death of his brother Julal alone, he also imbrued his hands in the blood of several of his officers at the same time. Having recalled Azim Hoomayoon Sheerwany from the siege of Gualiar, when just on the point of taking the place, he imprisoned him, and his son Futteh Khan, and also removed his other son, Islam Khan, from the government of Kurra. Islam Khan, hearing of the fate of his father and brother, and of the disgrace reserved for himself, rebelled, and defeated Ahmud Khan, who was sent to assume his government. The King now receiving advices of the reduction of Gualiar, which had been for a hundred years in the hands of the Hindoos, he had leisure to turn his thoughts towards the insurrection at Kurra. Azim Hoomayoon and Syeed Khan, after the fall of Gualiar, were permitted to go to their jageers, from whence, uniting with Islam Khan, they added strength to his power. Ibrahim Lody, placing little dependence on the fidelity of the troops about his person, issued orders for those of the distant provinces to repair to his camp; and conferring great honours on Ahmud Khan, the brother of Azim Hoomayoon Lody, gave him the command of the army against Islam Khan. - [Previous: 51.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51.5) - [Next: 51.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51.7) - [Up: 51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.51.6) · Pramāṇa
