Of the Mongol army headed by Chingis Khan which overran the most part of Asia and a part of Europe in the early 13th century, only the terrible and barbarous characters have been emphasized by the historians both European and Asian.From the other point of view, it may be said that the conquests brought about the unity and security throughout the Eurasian continent and enabled the intercourse between the East and the West.For the completion and consolidation of the first Mongol conquests, Manku Khan, a grandson of Chingis Khan, dispatched his brothers Kubilai and Hulagu to China and Iran respectively.Hulagu started his expedition in 1253. His army advanced at a leisurely pace and was entertained by the Mongol viceroys. At Samarqand he was visited by Masud Beg and in Khorasan he was lodged in a huge tent which Amir Arghun had constructed.Ata Malek Juwaini, a Persian historian, was in the service of Arghun as secretary, and witnessed the extinction of the heretic Ismaili sect by the Hulagus army.
