A conspiracy, headed by Muhammad Qasim Beg and Yunis Ali, was formed against the minister which succeeded in killing him and capturing the seat of government.

Mukim availing himself of this situation of things, marched without orders from the Garmsir, which he held for his father, who in turn served Sultan Husayn Mirza Bayqara and appeared suddenly before Kabul, which opened its gates.

Abdal-Razak Mirza had retired among the hills, and was still making ineffectual efforts for the recovery of his capital, when Babur himself escaping the Uzbek, Shaybani Khan, entered the territories of Khusroe Shah.

Shaybani Khan had conquered Samarkand and Bukhara, Ferghana and Uratippa, Tashkent and Shahrukhiya; Sultan Husayn Mirza Bayqara governed Khorasan; Khusroe Shah still held Hissar, Khotlan, Kunduz, and Badakhshan; and Dhul-Nun Beg Arghun, though he acknowledged Sultan Husayn Mirza Bayqara, had almost independent power in Kandahar and Zamindawar, Farah, Nimruz, Helmand, the Garmsir, and great part of Sistan, and the country south of Kandahar.

Negotiations began with Mukim Beg to surrender but he resorted to delaying tactics, expecting succor from his father and brother.
