In the year following, when the corn was high, Shahi Beg Khan again came against Farghana and Sultan Ahmad Tambal. Sultan Ahmad Tambal and Shaikh Bayazid, together with all their brothers, were put to death by Shahi Beg Khan, who then possessed himself of Farghana. Sultan Said Khan, who was in prison, by the order of Shaikh Bayazid, was now released and conducted before Shahi Beg Khan, who treated him as his own son, and being moved to pity at his sad condition, took him to Samarkand. From there he took him on his campaign against Hisar and Kunduz, at the time when Khusrau Shah had just subjugated the provinces of Hisar, Kunduz, and Badakhshan. When he had brought this enterprise to a close, he again returned to Samarkand. He next invaded Khwarizm. But on the occasion of this expedition, the Khan fled from him and came into Moghulistan. He journeyed by way of Uzun Ahmad as far as Yatikand. His uncle, Sultan Mahmud Khan, was at that time in Yatikand; with him he passed a few days, but finally, being wearied with the careless way in which his uncle conducted the affairs of the State, he departed and went into Moghulistan to visit his brother, Sultan Khalil Sultan, who was governor of the Kirghiz. He remained four years with his brother, among the Kirghiz in Moghulistan. During this period many transactions took place between Sultan Mahmud Khan, Mansur Khan, and these two brothers.
