Badī`u'z-zamān Mīrzā marched out from that camp and after a few stages reached the Alghū Mountain of Tāliqān[294] and there made halt. Khusrau Shāh, in Qūndūz, sent his brother, Walī, with serviceable men, to Ishkīmīsh, Fulūl and the hill-skirts thereabouts to annoy and harass the Mīrzā from outside also. Muḥibb-`alī, the armourer, (_qūrchī_) for his part, came down [Sidenote: Fol. 35b.] (from Walī's Khutlān) to the bank of the Khutlān Water, met in with some of the Mīrzā's men there, unhorsed some, cut off a few heads and got away. In emulation of this, Sayyidīm `Alī[295] the door-keeper, and his younger brother, Qulī Beg and Bihlūl-i-ayūb and a body of their men got to grips with the Khurāsānīs on the skirt of `Aṃbar Koh, near Khwāja Changāl but, many Khurāsānīs coming up, Sayyidīm `Alī and Bābā Beg's (son) Qulī Beg and others were unhorsed. At the time these various news reached Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā, his army was not without distress through the spring rains of Ḥiṣār; he therefore brought about a peace; Maḥmūd _Barlās_ came out from those in the fort; Ḥājī Pīr the Taster went from those outside; the great commanders and what there was (_nī kīm_) of musicians and singers assembled and the Mīrzā took (Bega Begīm), the eldest[296] daughter of Sl. Maḥmūd Mīrzā by Khān-zāda Begīm, for Ḥaidar Mīrzā, his son by Pāyanda Begīm and through her the grandson of Sl. Abū-sa`īd Mīrzā. This done, he rose from before Ḥiṣār and set his face for Qūndūz. At Qūndūz also Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā made a few trenches and took up the besieger's position but by Badī`u'z-zamān Mīrzā's intervention peace at length was made, prisoners were exchanged and the Khurāsānīs retired. The twice-repeated[297] attacks made by Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā on Khusrau Shāh and his unsuccessful retirements were the cause of Khusrau Shāh's [Sidenote: Fol. 36.] great rise and of action of his so much beyond his province. When the Mīrzā reached Balkh, he, in the interests of [M.]ā warā'u'n-nahr gave it to Badī`u'z-zamān Mīrzā, gave Badī`u'z-zamān Mīrzā's district of Astarābād to (a younger son), Muz̤affar Ḥusain Mīrzā and made both kneel at the same assembly, one for Balkh, the other for Astarābād. This offended Badī`u'z-zamān Mīrzā and led to years of rebellion and disturbance.[298] (_d. Revolt of the Tarkhānīs in Samarkand_).
