However he thought they were just typical nomads and got very surprised when they came with Chinese seige engineers. Then he lost his empire and escaped. Then he came back and steam rolled the local population since mongols killed most of them and they decide to keep it. Then after reconquering his old lands the mongols came back and killed him and permanently took the land this time

    @@DaMartialAthlete yes some certain military advantages is needed. Military strategy, intelligence, the quality of the army is more better than quantity. For example, 1,000 elite veterans can defend a well fortified fort or castle against a big army for a long time if they had enough supplies and weaponry. On the field of battle, it mostly depends on the commander and generals when deploying troops and formations. Since on open field one must know that quality and quantity can change the battle just as much as strategies can. Quality troops (elites, veterans, etc) can be of the vanguard or reserved force, or some generals prefer some hand picked men (elite) to be flanking. Either way the army's core relies on combat experience, supplies of food and equipments. I may be wrong, but I been playing too much games and watching too much movies.

Could it be due to pronounciation shift from Middle Mongolian to Modern Mongolian; or simply due to different transliteration system? For instance, is it "Khatangku Dehel" or "Hatangu Deel"?

    It is due to modern mongolian dropping g between vowels in favor of double vowels and lack of distinction between (o,u), (ts, ch) and (ö, ü). Last but not least latin alphabet lacks necessary letters to make proper sound. For example хаган or хаан means king could be written khagan, khaghan, qagan, etc.

But what we do know is that the Xiongnu were the first steppes confederacy to organise their military in a decimal system. And both Turkish and Mongolian historians cite Chinese historiography sources on the matter. Mongolian historians argue that Xiongnu were proto-Mongol. Turkish argue otherwise. Western historians tend to argue a mix of languages and groups composing the Xiongnu. Scant writing and written form of what the Xiongnu spoke remains.

    He had no choice. Jochi the first born was intelligent but was hated by his second brother, was constantly attacked for being allegedly illigitimate and was unpopular to lead the empire. Chagatai was brash, drunkard and Genghis knew if he gave all his power to Jochi then Chagatai was going to start a civil war. Tolui was the most similar to Genghis, was the most amicable to his kin but he didn't have the traits needed to govern a transitioning empire in terms of administration not wonton destruction. So the third brother Ogedei was to be supported by his brothers. But Jochi would never get over being passed over because of the constant questioning of his lineage and Chagatai was angry that because of his feud with Jochi that he was not considered the firstborn. So all in all, it seemed destined for the empire to split.
