Genghis Khan Temujin's ability to sweep the world is related to his good use of people and a group of generals who can fight in battle, the most famous of which are the "Four Masters" and "Four Dogs".
The "four masters" are Yuan'er kuo, Mu Huali, Bor Shu and Chi LaoWen, these four people are also the first to follow Genghis Khan, and have been friends with Genghis Khan since he was a teenager.
The "four dogs" are Subutai, Zhile contempt, Zhebei and Kublai, and are the four generals discovered by Genghis Khan.
People see the name of "four dogs", may feel that it is a curse, in fact, this is not a curse, the Mongols believe that horses and dogs are the most loyal friends of human beings, so the "four jies" are also known as "four horses". Calling one's lover by "four dogs" is precisely an honor.
The "Four Masters" and the "Four Dogs" both built immortal feats for Genghis Khan, and today, let's talk about one of the "Four Dogs", Subutai, who accompanied Genghis Khan on his western expedition and won a great victory over the Russian coalition.
Subutai, a native of the Mongol WuliangHabu, served Genghis Khan as a proton, and was loyal to Genghis Khan with his brother Le Contempt, and made many military achievements, and was one of the 95 thousand household chiefs that Genghis Khan appointed when he established the Mongol Empire.
With Genghis Khan's western expedition, invincible, the Mongol army attacked Samargan (present-day Samahandong, Uzbekistan), and Mahmud lost his soul and abandoned the city and fled.
Genghis Khan sent Subutai and Tetsubetsu to pursue Mahama with 30,000 iron horses, swept through the region of Khorasan (present-day Khoradun, northeastern Iran), and forced Mahabharata to an island in the Caspian Sea, where he died.
Subutai and Tetsubetsu then marched on kumu city south of Tehiri, and then on the city of Hamadan, "the old man of Hamadan, who expressed his submission, offered drinks, slaves, food, clothing, and riding as tributes, and accepted a Shaheena (that is, a Mongol governor)", leaving a general behind and marching elsewhere.
In the winter of 1220, the forces of Subutai and Zhebie entered Azerbaijan, and the ruler was a Turkic man named by the Iraqi king, "Adabi", who was responsible for governance, and his capital was in Thebilis (present-day Taburitu, Azerbaijan, which later became the capital of the Mongol Hulagu Dynasty Ilkhans), and this Adabi was named Chosibetsu, known as the Turkic King Yue jibo. He heard that the Mongol soldiers and horses had arrived, contributed a large amount of currency, horses and livestock, etc., and did not attack Subutai and Zhebei, and led the men and horses "stationed in the winter on the shores of the Caspian Sea in the wood dry plains", and in a year's time, swept Iraq, and the three Linsian Thebilis.

Subutai and Tebetsu then entered the Aerland region (a delta formed by the confluence of the Kura and Arras rivers south of the Caucasus Mountains), the capital of Aerland called Beldaa (Ganza), and marched north to Shirivan (a local dynasty on the west bank of the Li River, north of the Kula River).
Subutai learned from the local population that the Taihe Mountains (Caucasus Mountains) are steep, and there is only one passage between the Taihe Mountains and the Caspian Sea to enter the Chinchabu garrison, which is the Taelban City in the territory of Shiriwang, also known as the Iron Gate Pass, which is a necessary place for north-south travel, such as along the valley can bypass the fortified Anderban City. As a result, Razaktai successfully crossed the Taihe Mountains and entered the garrison of the Azov and Chincha people.
Also known as the Alan Ministry, the Asok Ministry was active in present-day Armenia and Russia, and its left neighbor was the Chincha people, which was the main target of Subutai's main attack. The Chincha people are found in the vast steppes (Porov steppe, also known as the Chincha steppe) on the north of the Caspian Sea, from the Ural Sea in the east to the Don River in the west, and the Chincha belong to the Turkic-speaking tribe.
After Subutai crossed the Taehwa Ridge, it was met with joint resistance from the Caucasian ministries such as Chincha and Azov. The coalition army was so numerous that it was difficult to defeat it, so it adopted a strategy of division and disintegration, taking advantage of contradictions, sending emissaries to send gifts to the leader of the Chincha people to show their goodwill, and to win over the Chincha people with the idea that the Turks and Mongols were one and the same, indicating that they had come to clean up the Alans and let the Chincha people not ally with the Alans. You want gold, clothes, we'll give it to you.
Believing the messenger's words and coveting money, the Chincha broke off their alliance with the Alans, and the Chincha concentrated their forces on defeating the Azov tribes, and after defeating the Asok, the Mongols quickly attacked the Chincha, and the Chincha were caught off guard by the Subutai and forced to move west to the Chincha between the Volga and the Dnieper, where the Chincha tribes were numerous, nomadic, and each had a leader.
Subutai and Tetsubetsu led the Mongol soldiers and horses through a cold winter in the heart of the Chincha steppe.
In the spring of 1223 AD, Subutai continued to pursue the Chincha, who were forced to flee in the direction of the Dnieper River, and a Chincha tribe named Kechak Khan, who had a better relationship with the Russians, asked the Russians for help. At that time, Russia was in the middle of the period of the division of the princes, and the chiefs of many principalities fled with the remnants to the Russian jurisdictions to ask for help from the Russian grand dukes, and the Mastislav Yonghou of the Marquis of Garic was the son-in-law of the Khan of Thekhs, who sent people to say to the Musty Slav Yonghou: "Today the Tatars (referring to the Mongols) have swept away our land, and tomorrow they will attack your land."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, speed is not "illegal"</h1>
So, The Mustyslav Yonghou wrote separately to the Russian princes proposing to gather in Kiev, saying: "Brothers, if we do not help them, then they will be subordinate to the Tatars, and the tatars will become more powerful!" The dangers of the Chincha in case they joined forces with the Mongols and the necessity of supporting the Chincha were pointed out. However, these princes were all for their own interests, and only the southern princes who were adjacent to Chincha responded to the call of the Musty Slav Yonghou and brought troops to Kiev to resist the Mongol soldiers.
Subutai repeated the same trick, sending emissaries to Kiev to tell the grand dukes that the Mongols had come to fight against the Chincha people, would not be enemies of the Russians, and would not infringe on Russian interests.
However, this time the Russians did not believe the words of the Mongol emissaries, killed the emissaries, chose to ally with the Chincha, and formed a coalition of 80,000 people, led by Romanovich, to the vicinity of the Calgarh River to meet the Fast-moving Mongols.
Although the Russian coalition is numerous, it has a fatal weakness that it cannot be unified with each other and has its own purpose.
When Subutai learned that the emissary had been killed, he led 30,000 troops to the Calgarh River, where the Russian allied forces had been waiting for a long time, and a great war could not be avoided.
Just the day before the great battle, a Mongol general named Deku, armed with Genghis Khan's secret order, rushed to the big tent of Subutai and handed the secret order to Subutai.
Subutai did not open the secret order immediately, because before that, Subutai had heard the news that Genghis Khan was preparing to withdraw his troops and return to the division, and he had a premonition that Genghis Khan was conveying the order to withdraw.
A great war is on the verge of breaking out, and if there is a sudden retreat, the Russian coalition forces will follow and kill, and the consequences will be terrible.
Therefore, Subutai came to Tetsubetsu to discuss countermeasures. Zhebetsu believed that Genghis Khan's orders could not be disobeyed.
Su Butai looked at him, holding the secret order in his hand, smiled, and said: "It is true that Genghis Khan's order cannot be disobeyed, but we have not opened the secret order, and we will wait until tomorrow, after we have defeated the Russians, and then open the secret order, so that it is not considered to be a violation of Genghis Khan's order."
It seems that Subutai is confident of defeating the Russians, and Tetsubetsu agrees.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > IV. Battle of Calgarh</h1>
The next day, "contrary" to Genghis Khan's orders, Subutai and Tebetsu launched an attack on the Russian coalition army, Subutai first sent centurion Hamabe to lead a cavalry to lure the Russian coalition, the two armies engaged, Hamabe was quickly defeated, defeated and retreated, Romanovich saw the defeat of the Mongol army, and immediately ordered the coalition army to come out and pursue the Mongols.
However, what the Russian coalition army did not expect was that when they chased the plains on the east bank of Calgar, they killed the Mongol ambush troops in all directions.
Before the outbreak of this great war, there was a conflict between the Kiev Hou and the Mstythy Slav Yong hou, the kiev hou was the leader of the Russian coalition army, and the Mstythy slav yong hou was the actual organizer, the two looked down on each other, quarreled, when the other Russian troops and chincha people launched an attack on the Mongol army under the command of Subutai, Kiev Hou led his troops to stand still, and the soldiers on the other side of the Calgarga River took the role of watching the fire from the other side of the river, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and playing the role of schadenfreude.
Under the lightning impact of Subutai and Zhebei, the Mongol Iron Horse divided the Russians and chincha into several parts, harvested their heads with machetes, completely defeated the Russian allies, and six grand dukes died on the battlefield, and Mstislav Yonghou and others desperately escaped the Dniehr River and destroyed the remaining ships, making it impossible for the Mongol Iron Horse to cross the river, and survived.
Subutai commanded soldiers and horses to quickly surround the camp of the self-styled clever Marquis of Kiev, and besieged it for three days, but the Marquis of Kiev could not resist and sent people to surrender, asking Subutai not to kill him and his two sons-in-law.
Knowing that he would return to his division after this battle, the captives were in trouble and could not let them go back, so he killed all the captives, tied up the Marquis of Kiev with the other princes, put a wooden plank on them, and then lit a bonfire, and held a celebration on the board, and the Kiev Hou and the princes sadly ended their lives in the song and drink of the Mongols.
It was not until the next morning that Genghis Khan's secret order was opened, which was indeed an order for Subutai and Tetsubetsu to retreat.
Subutai led the army back to the division, and after reaching the camp of Kis Khan, Subutai reported to Genghis Khan on the battle of the Calgarh River.
The Battle of the Calgarh River left a deep memory on the Russians, and since then they have seen the Mongols and have fallen in the wind, with almost no opponents.
