PRELIMINARY MATTER.
to combat one against the other, with various suc
cess, till the year 1757 ; when, by the flight of Azad
Khan into Turkey, and afterwards into Georgia, in
the view of receiving assistance, the arena was left
to be disputed by Muhammed Husain and the Zend
chief. In April 1758, Muhammed Husain Khan left
Istahan at the head of a puissant army, as it is re
ported, of 80,000 combatants, to besiege Shiraz, in
which place Kerim Khan had shut himself up, with
a comparatively small garrison. The enemy en
camped round the walls of the town; but Kerim
Khan found means to communicate with different
bodies of the besiegers, and to employ money so
adroitly, that desertions from the Kajar force be
came frequent and important. To this was added
a most spirited sortie made by Shaikh Aly Khan, a
i elation of Kerim Khan, and the most able general
he possessed. These untoward events obliged Mu
hammed Husain, in the month of June, to raise the
siege; and falling back on Isfahan, he found his
affairs there in such a posture, as to render it pru
dent for him to continue his march into his own
province of Mazenderan.
This event afforded Kerim Khan the means of
le-entering the capital of the kingdom; and his
character was now so well established for great poli
tical sagacity, for bravery, for clemency, and for
good faith, that the wishes of the inhabitants of
Isfahan, and of all the southern and some of the
northern provinces, were warm in his favour. A rea
sonable prospect therefore now opened itself to him,
0 i being speedily able to put an end to the internal
commotions of his country.
