==About his Father Köchü I==
[[Marco Polo]] says Köchü had a vast number of people, but he carried on no war with anybody, and his people lived in great tranquility. Since 1280 he sent friendly letter to [[Kublai Khan]], and the [[Yuan dynasty]] rewarded him a large amount of [[grain]]s and other valuable things of [[China]] in turn for his alliance. According to [[Rashid-al-Din Hamadani]], he also kept a very friendly relationship with his relatives, the [[Ilkhanate]], in [[Persia]]. According to Rashid al-Din Hamadani, Köchü allied with [[Kaidu]].

[[Marco Polo]] describes the Horde as extremely cold area, saying:

"''This king (Köchü) has neither city nor castle; he and his people live always either in the wide plains or among great mountains and valleys. They subsist on the milk and flesh of their cattle, and have no grain. The king has a vast number of people, but he carries on no war with anybody, and his people live in great tranquility. They have enormous numbers of cattle, camels, horses, oxen, sheep, and so forth.''"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shsu.edu/~his_ncp/Polo.html |title=Travels of Marco Polo |publisher=Shsu.edu |accessdate=2014-03-07}}</ref>

Köchü possessed the territory of [[Ghazna]] and [[Bamiyan]] under the suzerainty of either the [[Chagatayid Khan]]s or the Ilkhan.<ref>Stanley Lane-Poole-The Mohammedan Dynasties, p.227</ref> However, he proved his alliance and refused when [[Baraq (Chagatai Khan)|Baraq]], ruler of [[Chagatai Khanate]], demanded him to give up the authority of those areas before his attack on [[Iran]] in 1269. 

He was an influential khan. When the [[Borjigin]] princes, who operated on Kublai's behalf in [[Central Asia]] and later on rebelled, fought against each other, they appealed to Köchü. In c.1302 he died because of his overweight.
