Halo Khan's independence made the Safavid shah Shah Abbas uneasy, and many attacks took place on his fort[1]
Event
Halo Khan's power and independence frightened the Safavid Shah Abbas, so he decided to invade the lands of Kurdistan. He sent a thousand soldiers to the "Hassanawa" fortress, which was the headquarters of Halo Khan at that time. "Hassanawa" failed to score four times. Halo Khan defeated the enemy army with a small army. News of this defeat reached "Shah Abbas" and another large army was sent to Kurdistan for the second time and was defeated that day. "Shah Abbas" sent a large army to Kurdistan for the third time and, commanding this army himself, decided to invade Kurdistan and capture "Halo Khan". Hamadan wanted an intelligent Kurdish soldier in his army as "Ali Bag Zangana" or "Ulli Balli Zangana" to ask him about the roads and routes to Kurdistan. He told Shah Abbas that he could not do anything through these wars and that this shame would never be forgotten if the "Itani Safavid" army was renewed for the third time, so it was better to deal with Halo Khan through peaceful negotiations. "Shah Abbas" accepted this advice and returned to Isfahan.
