However, according to historical records, the time and place of these two statements are obviously wrong. When Genghis Khan died, Mongolia was still hiding the news of his death, and Xixia was not extinct.
According to historical records, Genghis Khan was shot with a poisoned arrow in his knee in the battle of Xixia at the beginning of 1227, and eventually died. The famous Italian traveler Kyle Poirot thinks that Genghis Khan died of an arrow wound in his posthumous work. According to Wu Sheng's Personal Prose, Genghis Khan was injured by an arrow three times: 1202,12,12, and 1226 when he attacked Xixia. It is estimated that the last arrow wound had a great influence on his health. Chinese and foreign books, such as Biography of the World Invaders, Historical Records, Translation of Yuan History, and Translation of Compendium, all say that "eight days of sweat died". During the summer vacation, Xue, the eldest son of Yeluge, the king of Liao, was retained to "let him see Xixia's attack and extraction of the capital". He fought continuously, and he was able to break a city belonging to Xixia every month. He also invited the prince of Liao State to watch the destruction of Xixia capital, which proved that Genghis Khan was full of confidence in the victory behind him and the upcoming victory, and was in good health. After 8 days of death, an arrow wound can make this strong man die suddenly. Genghis Khan died under the poisonous arrow shot by the Xixia army's crossbow, and the poisonous arrow wounded Genghis Khan's knee. Coupled with the death of his eldest son, Shu Chi, the hardships of mobile operations, the hot weather and other factors, Genghis Khan, who was injured by a falling horse in Aerzhai, Inner Mongolia a month ago, died only eight days later.
On the eve of the demise of Xixia, Genghis Khan's life also came to an end. He died of typhoid fever in the army, and before he died, he put forward the strategy of destroying gold in the Song Dynasty. In the same year, Xixia was completely destroyed.
