The capture of Yenking, where Genghis obtained a large supply of war materials, as well as vast booty, opened the road to Central China.
The governor of Yenking offered a stout resistance to the Mongols, and when he found that he could not hold out, he retired to the temple of the city and poisoned himself. His last act was to write a letter to Utubu begging him to listen no more to the pernicious advice of the man who had induced him to murder Hushahu.
The great event of this war was the siege of Yenking on the site of which now stands the capital Pekin the defense of which had been intrusted to the Prince Imperial; but Utubu, more anxious for his son's safety than the interests of the state, ordered him to return to Kaifong.
