ABSTRACT
Jenghiz Khan had now no reason for hurry. The leisurely homeward march of his army lasted a whole year. He confirmed the position of Burn as Mukuli's successor, and continued his slow progress from camp to camp. He was waiting until his son Juji should, arrive from the north and his two Orlok Sabutai and Jebei should join him from the west on their return after their lengthy campaign around the Caspian. The army sent in command of Sabutai had also been greatly thinned before it returned; but the numerous heavily-laden waggons, the hosts of prisoners of hitherto unknown races and nations, signified that great deeds had been performed, and that the campaign had been crowned with success. Between the flats beside the Caspian, from which Sabutai and Jebei had started, and the stony rampart of the Caucasus, lay the Christian realm of Georgia, A ride across the mountain principality of Azerbaijan, an incursion into the wild country of Kurdistan.
