1205 CE

Temujin, using his rival Nilga Senggum's temporary refuge in Western Xia as a pretext, launches a raid against the state in 1205 in the Edsin region.

The Mongols plunder border settlements and one local Western Xia noble accepts Mongol supremacy.

During a raid on Ganzhou (present-day Zhangye), the Mongols capture the son of the city's commander.

This young boy joins Mongol service and takes a Mongol name, Chagaan, and will eventually rise through the ranks to become commander of Temujin's personal guard.
