After Lotf Ali Khan's Father, Jafar Khan Zand had been murdered, he went to Shiraz and after capturing his Father's murderers, he put them all to death. After this, Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar advanced to reduce Fars. He drew up his line of battle and ordered Jafar Qoli Khan Donboli to bring his thousands of troops to the vicinity of the Vardi Mosque. The battle was short, and the Persian troops of Lotf Ali Khan, being defeated with "bravery and energy" by Jafar Qoli, fled in disorder and dejection to the fortress of Shiraz. 18,000 of their comrades and several chieftains of Lotf Ali Khan had been imprisoned or killed, but the fortress was not taken this year. Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar returned to the capital, and Lotf Ali Khan was not harmed, unlike most of his army.[2] One year later, near the end of 1790, Agha Mohammad Khan started a project of reducing South Azerbaijan. Hosayn Qoli Donboli, Jafar Qoli's nephew, was awarded Tabriz in addition to being reinstated in Khoy. This could have been due to Jafar Qoli's services in the Battle of Shiraz, serving Agha Mohammad Khan.[3] [4]
