The names of the two leaders of this rebellion were Taychot and Chamuka. Young Temujin depended chiefly on his mother for guidance and direction in this emergency.
Chamuka, led away by what he deemed the weakness of his adversary, attacked him on the Onon with as he considered the overwhelming force of thirty thousand men; but the result dispelled his hopes of conquest, for Genghis gained a decisive victory. Then was furnished a striking instance of the truth of the saying that "nothing succeeds like success."
Here their two families were united by mutual betrothals; as these, however, broke down, ill-feeling was aroused between them, and Chamuka had an opportunity of renewing his intrigues.

They attempted to assassinate him, but he was warned in time.
