Genghis Khan spent almost all his life in war, and as commander-in-chief, he did not just strategize, he also personally fought. Genghis Khan had a famous quote that inspired his soldiers:
In a war, if I lead the people to escape, you can cut off my legs, and when I am victorious, if I take the booty into my pocket, you can cut off my fingers.
The so-called "soldiers bear one, will bear a nest", which is vividly reflected in the body of Genghis Khan, who used his bravery and courage to bring out a cavalry that can traverse Eurasia and become the hegemon of the world.
When we understand a successful person, we must first understand the starting point of his career. Genghis Khan's appearance is different, when he first led the army, how many people and horses? The answer will surprise us, except for his 3 younger brothers, the rest are all fierce generals.
That is to say, Genghis Khan's men did not have any men and horses, and he led all the generals.
It was with these fierce generals that Genghis Khan was very smooth in the later development, and soon gathered a large number of people.
So, who are these fierce generals? Let's take a look.
The first time Genghis Khan led the army was when his wife Bo Erti was snatched away by the contemptuous beggars, and he asked for help from the Khan of the Kreb Tribe, and when the leader of the Beggar Tribe, Zamuhe, he did not have the capital to call him Khan at that time, and everyone called him Temujin.
At this time, Genghis Khan's strength was very small, but in order to save his wife, he also went out of his nest. Genghis Khan's soldiers and horses at this time can be divided into two parts, one part is his brothers, and the other part is his friends.
Let's look first at Genghis's younger brothers, namely the second brother Hesar, the younger brother Timug, and the half-brother Belegutai.
These three younger brothers of Genghis Khan, all of whom were infinitely powerful, later became famous generals in the Mongol cavalry, and made great contributions to Genghis Khan's unification of the steppe.
Several of his friends, who first came to join Genghis Khan, later became his founding heroes.
The first friend was Borshu, who later became one of Genghis Khan's "Four Masters". Borju was a rich man on the steppe, and when he learned that Genghis Khan was going to go to war with the Beggars, he came to the aid with his servants and a large number of cattle and sheep.
The second friend was Chi LaoWen, who later became one of the "Four Masters". Chi Lao Wen was the son of Genghis Khan's savior Suo Erhan, and when Dang Ji Si Khan asked them for help again, the very righteous Chi Lao Wen took several partners and came to him first.
The third friend was TheRava, who later became one of Genghis Khan's "Four Mastiffs". Born as a mountaineer, he was good at striking iron, and was a slave of Genghis Khan when he was a child, and was very loyal to him.
Judging from the number of people and horses when Genghis Khan first led his troops to fight, there were very few, and all but his brothers were his friends. In the war, Genghis Khan relied on these brave generals to become the overlord of the steppe step by step, until he crossed the Eurasian continent.
What is the charm of Genghis Khan, the first time he led the army, his men were all fierce generals? This is Genghis Khan's unique ability to control people.
Genghis Khan himself was a fierce general, he had courage and insight, and his heroic temperament was outstanding. Heroes feel sorry for each other, and naturally can attract a large number of Haojie to follow.
In addition, Genghis Khan was very sincere with people, and even if he despised such a slave, he did not have the slightest contempt and got along like a brother.
More importantly, Genghis Khan had dreams and ambitions, and he was bent on unifying the steppe and ending the leaderless war in the steppe, which is also the dream of many aspiring young people.
