He mustered his forces on the bank of the Bagh-dad river in the Sughd, near the capital, and within the walls of the city. He likewise sought aid from the Kara-Khita-is, who despatched to his aid the I-lak of the Turkan, but the Jami’-ut-Tawarikh, and Rauzat-us-Safa, both style him the I-lak of the Tarakamah \[plural of Turkman, which, since they also consider them Turks, or belonging to the Turk tribes, is much the same in signification\], who, soon after arrived, with a force of 10,000 gallant men to the aid of Khizr Khan, and, through the I-lak’s endeavours, an accommodation was entered into, and the Khwarazm Shah retired into his own territory again. These were one portion only of the Karlugh Turks, for Ibn-Dastah, in his account of the Jihun, says, several rivers flow into the Jihun, among which is the considerable river called the Wakhsh river, which issues from the tract of country above the land of the Karlugh Turks. The Beghu are often referred to by our author, after this period, in several places in this work, as being located in Wakhsh and Badakhshan, and they are the tribe of this same Beghu, the Karluk or Karlugh. The Ghuzz are also styled Beghu, as previously stated in the account of the Turks, but these Beghu Karlughs are totally distinct from the Ghuzz. - [Previous: 256.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.256.2.5) - [Next: 256.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.256.2.7) - [Up: 256.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.256.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.256.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.256.2.6) · Pramāṇa
