However, on his way to Syria, Izz al-Dawla became convinced by Abu Taghlib, the Hamdanid ruler of Mosul, to go fight again against his cousin.
[2][3] Bahram along with the rest of the Buyid army then marched to Mosul and captured the city,[4] which forced Abu Taghlib to flee to Byzantine territory in Anzitene where he asked for aid.
Meanwhile, the Buyid army was completing the conquest of Diyar Bakr and Diyar Mudar;[5] The important Hamdanid city of Mayyafariqin was shortly captured by them, which forced Abu Taghlib to flee to Rahba from where he tried to negotiate peace with Adud al-Dawla.
[6] During the same period, Bahram along with other Buyid officers, were sent to arrest Izz al-Dawla's former vizier Ibn Baqiyya.
[1] In 983, Bahram was sent under an army to fight the Kurdish Marwanid ruler Abu Shuja Badh but was defeated.
