Description
In the month of Muharrem I set out for Khorasan, in order to oppose the invasion of the Uzbeks, and advanced by way of Ghûrbend and Shibertû. As Jahângîr Mirza had taken some disgust and fled from the country of Ghazni, I judged it proper, for the purpose of reducing the Aimfiks to order, and to prevent the disaffected from rising in revolt, to separate from our baggage and camp-followers in Ushter-sheher, (leaving Wali Khâzin ' and Doulet Kadam to guard and bring them 011,) and to push forward with the great body of the army, in light array, with all practicable speed.
