Beveridge) 910.11.2 - **Language:** English ### [910.11.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11.2) It has been mentioned that at Qūsh-guṃbaz, Nāṣir Mīrzā asked leave to stay behind, saying that he would follow in a few days after taking something from his district for his retainers and followers.\[923\] But having left us, he sent a force against the people of Nūr-valley, they having done something a little refractory. The difficulty of moving in that valley owing to the strong position of its fort and the rice-cultivation of its lands, has already been described.\[924\] The Mīrzā's commander, Faẓlī, in ground so impracticable and in that one-road tract, instead of safe-guarding his men, scattered them to forage. Out came the valesmen, drove the foragers off, made it impossible to the rest to keep their ground, killed some, captured a mass of others and of horses,—precisely what would happen to any army chancing to be under such a person as Faẓlī! Whether because of this affair, or whether from want of heart, the Mīrzā did not follow us at all; he stayed behind. - [Previous: 910.11.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11.1) - [Next: 910.11.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11.3) - [Up: 910.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11.2) · Pramāṇa
