Genghis Khan is killed in the opening months of the invasion of the Jin Empire, say at the Battle of Badger's Mouth by a stray crossbow bolt. Because of this, the Mongols do not win a decisive battle as in OTL, but withdraw in good order with their dead leader.

What happens? Do they go back to Mongolia to bury Ghengis? Who secedes him as Khan (or will infighting destroy any hope of a united Khanate)? Will they be back for a second invasion or do the Jin have time to recovery?
