Chapter 1236 - Mongol West Conquering

The dynasties on the mid plains could plant grain, while the Mongol Empire could only rely on the heavens.

During the winter that had just ended, hunger had spread through the entire Mongol grasslands. Tens of millions of cows and sheep had died, herders were at their limits, and if their lives did not get any better, a huge crisis was bound to happen.

The so-called getting better referred to pillaging and robbing once more.

Last year, when the Empire attacked West Xia and returned with their faces full of dust, they realized how strong Great Xia was; it should not be easily infuriated.

Hence, the Empire was ready to turn its attention to the west.

On the west side, connected to the house of Ogedai was the Persian Empire.

The Mongols were not unfamiliar with them at all. In history, the Golden Horde and Ilkhanate shared the Persian empire territory.

Hence, the Mongol Empire conquering the west was just repeating what they did in history.

3rd month, 15th day, using the motto of 'reclaiming their past land', 600 thousand Mongol iron cavalry stepped onto the path to the west. They were going to leave a bright page in Chinese history.

Although the current Persian Empire could not be spoken of in the same vein as the one in history with its strong army and vast territory now, Genghis Khan was still really confident about taking a huge bite out of the Persian Empire.

The battle between the two empires was about to get underway.

...

3rd month, 18th day, Imperial capital.

After receiving news of the Mongol's west advancement, Ouyang Shuo was still a little surprised.

Based on the intel gathered by the Black Snake Guards, the Persian Empire in the game had a huge amount of land that included the entire middle Asia, half of west Asia, and Pakistan in South Asia, spanning three Asia regions.

If one did not consider overseas territories, Great Xia's current size was similar to that. Just that alone could show how strong the Persian Empire was.

The entire Central Asia region included Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan.

As for the northern region of Kazakhstan, it was occupied by the Romanov Dynasty.

The West Asia region included Afghanistan , Iran, Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Pakistan, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Qatar and Bahrain, 16 countries.

Apart from Afghanistan and Iran, which belonged to Persian Empire, the remaining 14 belonged to the Arab Empire.

Be it the Persian Empire or the Arab Empire, their birth was not because one Overlord swept everyone and expanded through wiping out other countries. It was more of a country alliance.

Hence, during the process of empire building, there were very few countries that were wiped out, and 90% and above of the players were kept. The imperial city guards also smoothly turned into the empire army.

They were connected by religion and culture, so they merged together with much ease.

Be it the Persian Empire or the Arab Empire, they both ran a City-State system similar to Ancient Greece, which supported autonomy at a city level while supporting the empire.
