One day he proceeded with only a few attendants to visit a garden-house at some distance from Belgam, leaving orders for four hundred horsemen to follow. One of Yoosoof's spies obtaining information of Assud Khan's movement hastened to inform his master that the minister had gone out almost unattended, and might easily be surprised and taken prisoner. Yoosoof accordingly advanced towards the garden, which, to his astonishment, he found surrounded by troops. Seeing, however, his own party superior in numbers, he resolved on attempting to effect his object by force; but was repulsed by Assud Khan, who returned triumphant to Belgam after taking many prisoners. - [Previous: 91.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.2.5) - [Next: 91.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.2.7) - [Up: 91.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.2.6) · Pramāṇa
