   The most powerful person in history was not Qin Shi Huang or Emperor Wu of Han, nor Emperor Taizong of Tang or Emperor Taizu of Song, nor Genghis Khan or Alexander the Great, nor even Queen Victoria who founded the British Empire. It was Batu Khan, who led his eldest son on a westward expedition from the Mongolian steppes to the gates of Vienna, establishing the Golden Horde. The young Batu accompanied his father Jochi on his campaigns, achieving remarkable feats that fueled Jochi's growing claim to the Mongol Khanate. However, due to doubts about Jochi's lineage, he was consistently excluded from the succession, constantly subjected to rumors and gossip, and ultimately died in despair. Batu inherited Jochi's fiefdom and, with his exceptional talent, became the commander of his eldest son's westward expedition, leading 150,000 cavalry from the Mongolian steppes all the way to the gates of Vienna. He conquered the Rus' principalities, defeated Hungary, blitzed Poland, pushed past Moscow, reached the Danube, and even defeated a 400,000-strong European coalition army with only 40,000 cavalry, conquering more than twenty countries in seven years. After the death of Ögedei Khan, the princes who had campaigned westward returned east to vie for the throne. Batu Khan, leveraging the momentum of his western campaigns, established the vast Golden Horde, known to Europeans as Sain Khan and revered by Russians as "Tsar Batu." Later, tensions escalated between Batu and the Mongol Great Khan Güyük. In a critical moment, Güyük died suddenly, and Batu swiftly installed Möngke Khan as Khan, becoming the de facto ruler of the Mongol Empire. Coupled with his powerful position as Khan of the Golden Horde, his power was unprecedented, making him one of the most dazzling figures at the pinnacle of power in the 13th century.

   I recommend a historical novel set in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, based on the Records of the Three Kingdoms and the Book of the Later Han. It features no system, no cheat codes, no power-ups, and no superpowers. The most compelling aspect of this novel is its rigorous and respectful approach to history—no individual can overturn the course of history, much less change the fate of a dynasty's collapse. The only "advantage" the author possesses is a broader understanding of historical trends than the ancients, and this understanding requires careful verification within the "blind spots of historical detail," requiring the author's own effort and wisdom to achieve breakthroughs.

    A frontline police officer from Shandong is unexpectedly transported to the chaotic Later Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties period, becoming a gladiator slave for the Liangzhou nobility—his life hangs by a thread, his fate entirely dependent on the outcome of gladiatorial combat. Using his police fighting skills, investigative thinking, and discipline, he survives countless near-death experiences in the arena, fighting his way up from the bottom of the ranks. He establishes himself in Liangzhou, uniting various ethnic groups in the Hexi Corridor, quelling internal strife among the Shatuo people, and defending against incursions by the Uyghurs and Tibetans, gradually gaining control of the northwestern military. He then embarks on an epic westward campaign: recovering the Western Regions, conquering the Samanid dynasty of Persia, and extending his reach to the Persian Gulf, reshaping the western border of China. Ultimately, based in Liangzhou, he establishes a vast empire spanning the Hexi Corridor, the Western Regions, and Central Asia, completing a legendary rise from "gladiator slave" to "ruler of the Western Regions."
