Ass or grass

Why didn't the mongols conquer india? Did they fear the poo warrior?

Once that happens there's nothing you could do to stop it. You're country is dead. The mongols-timurids destroyed Persia and settled Azerbaijan and Bukhara with Turkmen tribes. The timurids ruined Assyria and settled Kirkuk with Kurds. They turned Anatolia into a tribal 3rd world area. Somehow Russia survived unharmed even after their cities got sacked.

The only way to control them is through divide and conquer. Or in Han case, just genocide them, but eventually some other steppe niggers will come along.
And when your Dynasty get balkanized the steppe niggers get a change to grow strong.
