As the empire was facing with crisis, Sultan Mehmed III assembled the state council and said:

“From, our forefather, the founder of our empire Osman Ghazi; to our grand father Suleyman the Magnificent all the sultans went campaigns in front of their armies. Our grandfather Sultan Selim II and our father Murad III left this tradition. We too, had mistaken while ordering our pashas campaign. Surely, our soldiers sons would like to see us in front of them. We have decided, were are going to campaign very soon. Be prepared.”

His mother rejected this plan, fearing to let the Sultan out of Istanbul. But her son said;

“Mother, we are a Sultan son of a sultan, why we have armoured this sword in Eyup Sultan Mosque? Our decision is certain we are going for the campaign. We do not sacrifice our state for the throne.” On 20^th July the army had moved and the castle of Egri was besieged and on 12^th October 1596, it was surrendered to the sultan.
