![]() ![]() Porus challenging Alexander for a war- After enjoying Ambhi’s hospitality, Alexander sent a word out to the neighbouring kings to meet him and pay him a tribute. After making sure that Ambhi, through his lavish demonstration of hospitality had won over the trust of Alexander, he used the alliance between them as a tool to conquer King Porus’s territory also provided with a force of 5000 men as support for the war.Ĥ. This was a very first step taken by Ambhi towards forming an alliance and also towards getting revenge against King Porus. ![]() Ambhi had knowledge of this fact that his father King Gandharaj will never permit him to form an alliance with a foreign King hence, Ambhi killed his father while he was asleep and ascended the throne of Gandhar. Though as a prince he had no authority to do so without King Gandharaj’s permission. An alliance with Alexander would in return save his territory and also help him acquire Porus’s territory i.e Kaikay, after Alexander defeats King Porus.
