History does not record his words, but it was probably something like ...
" Hey, guys, I'm not quite sure about this any more. Been there, slew 'em, raped 'em, done a bit o' singein' here an' there. Gettin' a bit of a bore, really. Let's go home and break out the Bud! There's a Superbowl match on, ain't there?"
Sumthin' like that, anyway

Thanks for dropping in.
I'm not sure about this, but I think that what the Persian was referring to was the mysterious halting of the Mongol capmaign due to the death of Genghis Khan back in Mongolia.
All the claimants hurried back to stake their claim to the Khanate.

Hi El Tel
Well, he certainly didn't say something like, 'Er well what d'you reckon, lads? They look a bit handy with their bows and arrows. How's about we smile at 'em, wave and then turn round and go back home. I fancy a nice quiet night in me tent with a mug of hot yak's milk and me furry slippers on me feet.'
Very good, I look forward to more - but after that build-up, now you know how Shakespeare felt when he had to write Henry V's speech at Agincourt!!
