The mongols invaded russia and the Mongols reached the edges of the Rus settlements, they sent messengers requesting peaceful submission and trade. The Rus themselves were no strangers to such messengers, as they had once sent them to Constantinople demanding tribute. Upon reaching the main city of the Rus, Kiev, the messengers were executed. The message to the Mongols was simple - the Rus would never peacefully submit. Mongols really didn't leave the Rus too much choice in the matter.

The Mongols would suffer no insult, and would win, whether peacefully or through other means.
