However, after a siege of 70 days, Damad Halil Pasha failed to capture the city and was dismissed from the post.
Hüsrev's easy victory, ending a long and costly rebellion, gained him fame and favor.
Hüsrev Pasha decreased the number of viziers in the porte and made a habit of executing his political opponents.
Hüsrev's next mission was to reconquer Baghdad (capital of modern Iraq), which had recently been captured by the Safavid shah Abbas I.
Thus, Hüsrev Pasha chose to capture other cities around Baghdad, one of his subordinates defeating a Persian army.
