Because they shoot him with arrows, they kill him.

But what happens afterwards is also interesting for the dynamics of what was going on before, because we hear nothing from Sochigo.

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

She and her younger son, Belgetai, they stay with the family.

They don't go away.

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

But the one who is outraged is Mother Erlun, his mother.

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

She screams and hollers at him in the longest kind of tirade you can imagine about, you will never have anybody in your life except your own shadow.

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

And you are worse than everything that she could name that could be worse than.

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

She was outraged and went on and on and on about it.

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

So she was obviously extremely distressed about it, whereas Xochitl, the mother of the boy, she may have been distressed, I don't know, but nothing has shown up in the record.

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

So he does have this episode of having killed off his brother, but I don't think it was a deeply meaningful, I think it was important, but I don't think it was a mostly deeply meaningful for Temujin.

The brother was gone, the problem was solved, mother is extremely ticked off at him, but.

He is capable of doing anything that needs to be done to resolve what he sees as a problem.

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

Bechtel was a problem.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

He resolved it at a very young age.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

So he'd had that experience behind him.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

But now Bechtel's younger brother, Belgetai, is on the raid with him and with Czomoka when they go to capture Berste back.

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

So...

#476 โ€“ Jack Weatherford: Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire

He has both loyalty, and Belgatai stays loyal to him his entire life, his entire life.
