In another incident, around 1177, he was captured in a raid and held prisoner by his father's former allies, the Tayichi'ud. The Tayichi'ud enslaved Temüjin (reportedly with a cangue, a sort of portable stocks), but with the help of a sympathetic guard, the father of Chilaun (who later became a general of Genghis Khan), he was able to escape from the ger (yurt) in the middle of the night by hiding in a river crevice.[citation needed] It was around this time that Jelme and Bo'orchu, two of Genghis Khan's future generals, joined forces with him. Temüjin's reputation also became widespread after his escape from the Tayichi'ud.
Who captured and held Temüjin prisoner around 1177? How was Temüjin kept imprisoned by the Tayichi'ud? Which of his future general's fathers helped Temüjin escape the Tayichi'ud? Which of his future generals joined forces with Temüjin around the time of his escape from the Tayichi'ud? Where did Temüjin hide during his escape from the Tayichi'ud?
