Mohammad Hasan Khan of Qajar recovered from defeat at Shiraz in 1758 and advanced south of the Caspian towards Ashraf (modern Bihshahr) to attack Shaykh Ali Khan’s Zand army before Regent Karim Khan Zand could bring reinforcements from Tehran. Mohammad Hasan was routed, then killed in the pursuit towards Asterabad, which quickly surrendered to Karim.
