The Emperor instantly sent him a letter under his own signature, granting him permission to retire some days for the benefit of his health, and to return when better. He had not expected this letter, and was greatly annoyed; but next day he took his departure, and marched away by the bank of the river. \* \* For two or three days after leaving the city he waited in expectation of a royal summons, and sometimes moved in one direction, sometimes in another. Inside the city, Intizamu-d daula and Ghaziu-d din Khan busied themselves in strengthening the fortifications, and in throwing up intrenchments outside. They manned them with their own men and with the "royal Jats," and exerted themselves to levy old soldiers and recruits. Safdar Jang saw that they were resolved to overthrow him, and so he felt compelled to prepare for battle. In order to reinforce his army, he called to his assistance Suraj Mai Jat, and also Indar Gosain, Faujdar of Badali, with a strong force of followers. \* \* - [Previous: 3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.3.4) - [Next: 3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.3.6) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tarikh-i-muzaffari~en-elliot.3.5) · Pramāṇa
