Genghis Khan's Jebe: The Arrow Who Conquered an Empire

Before he was Genghis Khan's greatest general, Jebe was a enemy archer who shot the future conqueror's horse out from under him. This episode traces Jebe's astonishing rise from captured enemy to trusted commander who led the Mongol army on a legendary ride around the Caspian Sea. We follow his campaigns from the conquest of the Naimans to the devastating raid through the Caucasus, where he and Subutai used a brilliant feigned retreat to crush a coalition of Georgians, Cumans, and Rus princes. Along the way, we explore Jebe's role in the Khwarezmian war, his pursuit of the shah across Persia, and how his speed and loyalty made him the empire's deadliest arrow. With source material from Juvayni and the Secret History of the Mongols, we separate the warrior from the myth. #Jebe #GenghisKhan #MongolEmpire #Subutai #CaucasusCampaign #BattleOfTheKalkaRiver #KhwarezmianEmpire #SecretHistoryOfTheMongols #Juvayni #Naimans #Kuchlug #FeignedRetreat #Cuman #RusPrinces #CentralAsia #13thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
