Sulṯān Ḥusain Mīrzā's campaign against Khusrau Shāh\_). In the winter of this year, Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā led his army out of Khurāsān against Ḥiṣār and went to opposite Tīrmīẕ. Sl. Mas\`ūd Mīrzā, for his part, brought an army (from Ḥiṣār) and sat down over against him in Tīrmīẕ. Khusrau Shāh strengthened himself in Qūndūz and to help Sl. Mas\`ūd Mīrzā sent his younger brother, Walī. They (\_i.e.\_, the opposed forces) spent most of that winter on the river's banks, no crossing being effected. Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā was a shrewd and experienced commander; he marched up the river,\[283\] his face set for Qūndūz and by this having put Sl. Mas\`ūd Mīrzā off his guard, sent \`Abdu'l-laṯīf \_Bakhshī\_ (pay-master) with 5 or 600 serviceable men, down the river to the Kilīf ferry. These crossed and had entrenched themselves on the other bank before Sl. Mas\`ūd Mīrzā had heard of their movement. When he did hear of it, whether because of pressure put upon him by Bāqī \_Chaghānīānī\_ to spite (his half-brother) Walī, or whether from his own want of heart, he did not march against those who had crossed but disregarding Walī's urgency, at once broke up his camp and turned for Ḥiṣār.\[284\] - [Previous: 900.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.3) - [Next: 901.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901.2) - [Up: 901](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.901.1) · Pramāṇa
