Later, as a result of an attack in which Alp Arslan also participated, the Khuttal Emir was killed. Later, the [[Hulbuk]] Castle was captured by the Seljuks. Alp Arslan appointed one of his own men as emir to [[Khatlon Region|Khuttal]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Köymen |first=Mehmet Altay |url=https://www.kitapyurdu.com/kitap/alparslan-ve-zamani-kod-10h3/536600.html |title=Alparslan ve Zamanı Kod: 10-H-3 |date=2020-03-23 |publisher=Yeni Zamanlar Sahaf (2.
