What contributed to Genghis khans success as a conqueror?

Ögedei, (also Ögädäi, Ögedäi, etc.), was the third son of Genghis Khan. He succeeded his father to rule as the second khan of the Mongol Empire. He continued the expansion the empire that his father had begun. Like all of Genghis' primary sons, he participated extensively in conquests in Northern China and Central Asia.

He was elected supreme khan in 1229, according to the kuriltai held after Genghis' death, although this was never really in doubt as it was Genghis' clear wish that he be succeeded by Ögedei.

Most history textbooks skip from Genghis Khan, who was the first Great Khan to his grandson Kublai Khan (by way of Tolui), who was the fifth Great Khan, because their reigns and their conquests are more famous. However, Ögedei (Genghis' son) was the second Great Khan and facilitated the largest increases in territory under Mongol control. (The third and fourth Great Khans were Ögedei's son Güyük and Kublai Khan's brother Möngke, respectively.)
