The Shah-zadahs, Bulghan or Bulgha, Tutar, and Kuli, all grandsons of Juji-Khan, and Buka Timur’s forces, were also directed to advance on the right, from the district of ’Abbas-abad [west of Hamadan; in some Histories, Asad-abad], and join Sunjak. These junctions having been effected, this combined force was to approach Baghdad from the west, through the tract afterwards called the “Gariwah of Sunjak, the Nu-yin.” The Nu-yin, Kaibuka, Kudsun, and Ilkae, or Ilka or Ilkan, as he is also named, were to move towards Baghdad through Khuzistan, and approached it from the south-east, while Hulaku, himself, with the centre, advanced towards the city from the eastward, by way of Khankin.
