They had just separated and now...
We have Vang Han, the most powerful ruler on the steppe who's ruling out of central Mongolia of the Karyat people.
And so Jamaka remains loyal to him, but at first so does Temujin.
They're both loyal to him, but they're fighting in different kinds of campaigns and all.
So for a while, they're not fighting each other.
but eventually some things happened that separate Temüjin.
Temüjin was making all of these great victories for Wang Han, and he even got the title Wang, which means from Chinese meaning prince or king.
Wang Han received that from the Jin Dynasty because of all of these conquests against the Tatar people.
So Temüjin was rising up, and then he wanted his son to marry the daughter of Wang Han.
And Wang Han said no.
His own son told the father, no, no, no, no.
We don't marry those low people.
They're Mongols.
They're not like us.
We are Keryat people.
We're not going to marry them.
And so then now war, you could say, breaks out, or feud, really.
It's more of a feud.
Hemujin has to flee far away into the east to a place called Baljuna.
And he goes to Baljuna.
