Who is the mastermind behind megol invasion
Answers
Answer:
Sun Il Song
Explanation:
It is in verse 2 of the pre sequel
Subotai was born around 1176 as the son of a blacksmith to the non-Mongolian tribe. He entered the Mongolian Army as 14-years old. Since he was a teenager, he was not allowed to fight, so Subotai was assigned as a doorman for Genghis Khan.
As he came from a forest tribe, he had to learn horseriding and using a bow. Soon, he excelled at shooting arrows with his bow while retreating on horseback.

Mongols used a system of apprenticeship where young would be paired with older officers to learn from them. In his youth, he served directly with Genghis Khan or his general Jebe.
Subotai got his first command at the age of 22. In the next 5 years, he became a general. As such he was heavily involved in all major military activities:
Central Asian campaigns (1217–1220)
Raid through the Caucasus into Russia(1220–1223)
Invasions of China (1207, 1209, 1211–1215, 1226–27)
Conquest of Russia (1236–1240)
Invasion of Central Europe (1241–1242)
Subotai as general
Subotai is credited as the first general to operate campaigns using the modern organizational methods of command and control. Military geniuses such as Rommel (a.k.a desert fox studied his tactics).
He would split his armies into 3–5 axes and simultaneously attack enemies, fighting coordinated battles that were 500 km apart. All that without modern telecommunications.
For example, Subotai’s invasion of Europe came from five directions, making Europeans difficult to know his final target. The first two armies attacked Poland, the next two Hungary, and the last one Transylvania.
He gave his commanders mission-type objectives, completely trusting to achieve them even if commanders were hundreds of miles away from Subotai.
It was Genghis Khan’s advice to Subotai which encompasses best Subotai’s approach to command:
Though your army will divide beyond the great rivers all must continue in pursuit of one goal. Though mountain ranges separate your men from each other think of nothing else but this task. If you go to war with this in mind, that though I’m out of your sight it’s as if you can see, that though I’m far away it’s as if I’m near at hand
