Genghis Khan and Cistanche deserticola: Divine objects assist in hegemony
In the magnificent history of Mongolia, the Battle of the Thirteen Wings was undoubtedly an important battle with profound significance. In the first year of the Jin Mingchang era (1190), Genghis Khan Temujin was committed to unifying the various tribes of the Mongolian grasslands. His sworn brother Zhamuhe, jealous of Temujin's growing power and harboring ill intentions, united with thirteen tribes including Taichiwu, and gathered a massive army of 30000 people to launch a fierce attack on Temujin.
After learning the news, Temujin gathered his 30000 troops and carefully formed the Thirteen Wings (Battalion) to confront the enemy. Both sides engaged in fierce battles on the battlefield, which were exceptionally brutal, with cries of killing and sounds of weapons colliding echoing and reverberating. However, due to various reasons, Temujin unfortunately suffered a defeat in this battle, and his troops were forced to retreat to Shashan, which was covered with red willow forests. At this moment, Temujin's army was in a desperate situation, with soldiers suffering from hunger and thirst, extreme physical exhaustion, and low morale, as if trapped in an endless dark abyss with a bleak future.

At this critical moment of life and death, the heavenly god was moved by Temujin's perseverance and persistence, while also feeling angry at Zhamuhe's cruel actions. So, the gods sent divine horses to descend to the world. I saw the divine horse with an agile posture leap towards Genghis Khan like lightning, raise its head and make a deafening roar, then shoot its essence towards the roots of the red willow tree. Subsequently, the divine horse used its powerful hooves to vigorously carve out many uniquely shaped plant root blocks at the roots of the red willow tree, resembling the reproductive organs of the divine horse.
Genghis Khan and his generals looked at these root blocks with confusion, but in extreme difficulty, they decided to try eating them. Surprisingly, after the soldiers ate these root blocks, a miracle happened! A powerful force surged within them in an instant, sweeping away their fatigue and making their spirits exceptionally energetic, as if filled with endless energy. Their eyes once again shone with a resolute light, and their morale was at its peak.
Genghis Khan saw this scene and knew that it was a blessing from the heavens. He seized the opportunity and decisively led his soldiers to rush down the sand mountain like tigers. At this moment, their combat power was overwhelming, and they bravely charged toward the tribe of Zhamuhe with one strike against ten. Under the wise command of Genghis Khan and the brave fighting of his soldiers, Zhamuhe's army was caught off guard and retreated one after another. In the end, Temujin's troops defeated the Zhamuhe tribe in one fell swoop, not only successfully turning the tide of the war, but also capturing a large amount of property and women.
The victory of this battle laid a solid foundation for Genghis Khan to unify Mongolia. Afterward, Genghis Khan, with his outstanding leadership skills and powerful military power, opened the great era of conquering the Eurasian continent. The Cistanche deserticola, which played a magical role in this crucial battle, is therefore regarded as a divine object and has been passed down through the ages in legends on the Mongolian grasslands. It not only became a powerful support for Genghis Khan's achievement of hegemony but also symbolized the spirit of perseverance in adversity and the use of mysterious forces to achieve counterattacks.
