During the march of Sultan Mas'ud's army to Sarakhs the Seljuq raiders harassed the Ghaznavid army with hit-and-run tactics.
In 1832 the crown prince, Abbas Mirza, after subduing the Salor of Sarakhs, turned his attention to Mohammad Khan and his renegade tribe.
He succeeded in overthrowing several local rulers, resulting in the conquest of Sarakhs, Tus and Merv by 1181.
