Years: 1208 - 1208
Genghis had led another raid into Western Xia in 1207, invading the Ordo region and sacking Wulahai, the main garrison along the Yellow River, before withdrawing in 1208.
Genghis now begins preparing for a full-scale invasion.
By invading Western Xia, he will gain a tribute-paying vassal, and also will take control of caravan routes along the Silk Road and provide the Mongols with valuable revenue.
Furthermore, from Western Xia, he can launch raids into the even more wealthy Jin dynasty.
