After Genghis Khan had set up the Mongol power, he intensified military expansion towards the Jin Dynasty, the Western Xia (a power set up by the Dangxiang in China's North-West region ), and the surrounding tribes. According to the records of the "Yuan History New Edition ", he "wiped out forty kingdoms, suppressed Xia and conquered Jin, and held two-thirds of the Central Plains . The soldiers went beyond the West Sea and North Sea 10,000 li, to the Kunlun and Yueku regions unreachable through translators, and all the horses' gaits were as if they were coming and going through the wicket gate at home!” The "New Yuan History" says he was "a dragon arisen in the northern desert, trampling on Xia and destroying Jin, his armies went 10,000 li, afterwards three dynasties, was seen no more."
