Many Kingdoms asked help from East India Company to fight with Prithvi Narayan Shah. However, with initial failure, East India Company did not wish to fight with Prithvi Narayan Shah. On the contrary, East India Company was more interested in cordial relation with Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah for expending the trade with Tibet and China through Nepal territory.
Slowly, there was relation between Prithvi Narayan and East India Company. In 1774, Warren Hasting and Prithvi Narayan suppress the oppression of Naga those used to loot from Haridwar to Nepal Tarai and Bengal. When decedents captured hills of Vijaya Garh, Prithvi Narayan sent his army to suppress the opponents on request of wife of Warren Hasting. Hasting appreciated the acts of Prithvi Narayan Shah.

It was important for both Rajya Lakshmi and Bahadur Shah that they continued the Gorkha Kingdom expansion as initiated by Prithvi Narayan Shah. It was also essential that to minimize conspiracies and tussles among court elites that the Kingdom kept busy in wars and battles. Encouraged by tussles between Rajya Lakshmi and Bahadur Shah, Chaubisi Region Kings started attacking on Gorkha Kingdom. When Bahadur Shah got Care Taker (Nayab) position, he sent an army to suppress Chaubisi Region Kingdoms. When Gorkha army reached to Tanhun in Jnuary 1778, the Tanhun King ran away and took asylum I Palpa. Later on the combined forces of Tanhun, Palpa and Parvatraj captured back the hill regions of Tanhun and Chitaun from Gorkha Army. Now, the Chaubisi combined force reached to Urdang Gadhi. Bahadur Shah sent another army to tackle the situation. The new force defeated Chaubisi combine force. In 1779, Tahun King had to flee towards plains.
In the mean time, Rajya Lakshmi got again the position of Nayab and Bahadur Shah had to flee to Patna. Tanhun army again got back the Tanhun hill territory from Gorkha. In December January 1781, Caubisi combined force attacked on Gorkha region.
