The Rashīdī History 154.1

154.1

When Chingiz Khan carried his victorious arms into the countries of the East, Kushluk, son of Tai Yáng Khan, fled by way of Bish Baligh, to the country of the Gur Khán. He wandered about among the hills, in great want, while those tribes who had accompanied him became scattered. Some people say that he was captured by a body of the Gur Khan's soldiers, who led him before their chief; another story is that he went and presented himself of his own accord. He at any rate remained some little time at the court of the Gur Khan. Sultán Muhammad Khwárizm Shah rose in revolt against the Gur Khán, while other Amirs in the eastern quarter, rebelled also, and put themselves under the protection of the Emperor of the world, Chingiz Khan, by whose favour they obtained immunity from the evil acts of the Gur Khán.
