3.1.5

You ought to protect and help me because I am oppressed." Previous to this 'Azam Humayun had been ill-disposed towards Sultan Ibrahim. He was moved by the supplications of Jalal Khan, and raised the siege of the fort. He entered into a treaty and compact with Jalalu-d din, and told him that he ought first to obtain possession of Jaunpur, and then see what was best to be done. He then advanced towards Oudh by an uninterrupted succession of marches. The governor of that place, finding himself unable to contend with him, fled towards Karra, and sent information of what was passing to Sultan Ibrahim, who wished to start immediately with some picked men for the purpose of repressing the disturbance. By the advice of certain of the nobles, he confined four of his brothers in the fort of Hansi, and entrusted them to the charge of Muhammad Khan with 500 horse. He, moreover, summoned all the nobles into his private apartment, and gained them to his side by making them presents in gold, and giving them titles and dignities; after which he ordered the bakhshis to issue arrears of pay to the army, and give them one month's gratuity. On Thursday, the 24th of Zi-l hijja, he proceeded in the direction of Jaunpur by uninterrupted marches, and on arrival at Bhunganw received intelligence that 'Azam Humayun and his son Fath Khan had forsaken Sultan Jalalu-d din, and were on their way to pay their respects.
