Divan instructed Mahmut to hold the combined armies of Muzrak, Buchak, and Balta in Kuluch. This delay allows the main Torqye army to march on and capture the capitals of the three sultanates. The enemy forces are closing in on Kuluch with no hope for Torqye reinforcements. Facing this dire situation, Mahmut initiates a specific plan to manage the threat. The narrative focuses on the tactical maneuvers employed to buy time for the broader military campaign against the sultanates.
