genghis khan had send an envoy of 1-450 muslims lead by a mongol to show the shah that he was willing to trade. the governor of Oltrar, having heard exaggerated rumors,arrested the envoy, leading to genghis to send 3 diplomats to get the envoy freed and the governor arrested. but the jolly good old shah had the 3 diplomats executed, and the envoy personel was executed as well. and that's when genghis retaliated. even by mongol standards the retaliation was brutal.
