From 1806 to 1808, Ranjit Singh led three campaigns into the cis-Saduj areas. In 1806, there cropped up a sharp dispute between Patiala and Nabha over the possession of village Daladi, barely 2 kms from the town of Nabha. Maharaja Ranjit Singh was invited to mediate in the dispute. On his way to Patiala and back he placed a large number of villages and territories under his own control in the cis- Satluj areas.
In 1807, the Maharaja was again invited to setde the dispute between Rani Aus Kaur and Sahib Singh, the ruler of Patiala. During this visit also Ranjit Singh followed the same policy of territorial aggrandisement.
In 1808, again he entered the cis-Saduj areas with a view to subjugating the cis-Satluj region. During all the three incursions he conquered and distributed a large number of villages and territories among his followers including Fateh Singh Ahluwalia, Mai Sada Kaur and Diwan Mohkham Chand.
