Explanation:

Battle of Buxar
Despite Mir Jafar’s gifts and rewards, British were not satisfied with him and replaced him by Mir Qasim. Mir Qasim was an able administrator and tried to free himself from the clutches of the Englishmen. This behavior was disliked by the British and the conflict led to three battles.
Mir Qasim was defeated and he fled to Awadh to take help of Nawab of Awadh, Shuja ud Daula. Nawab of Bengal and Nawab of Awadh got into an alliance with the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II, who despite the deteriorating Mughal empire was perceived as the central authority of India.
These combined forces met with British force at Buxar.
Result: As expected, the combined army of the three was no match for the disciplined English army which comprehensively won.
