By good fortune, the rebels of Bihar had been put to flight before the arrival of the Imperial forces. But the rainy season came on, and the campaign was deferred for that year. When the rains subsided, [the chosen noble military leaders] took their departure from Court. Officers were also sent bydifferent roads to all the chiefs of Illahabas, Oudh, and Bihar. In a short time a large force was collected … and was eager for the advance.”
