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.
