Old Stories

"A lone wolf starves; a pack brings down the stag. The Steppe must become our hunting ground, and we, its unstoppable pack."

"And that is not the only reason. We also lack innovation. Tradition gives us roots, but innovation gives us wings. Only those who dare to change will rise above the horizon"

"Empires fall because they cling to the old. We will rise because we embrace the new, shaping it to our will like a smith shapes iron.

"Without innovation, how could our arrows find the gaps in the armor of the Yan legions or the shields of Zhou? Without unity, how could the tribes of the Steppe, scattered as blades of grass, hope to stand against empires whose armies march as unyielding waves? The Yan build walls to cage us; the Zhou fortify roads to march against us. They think their steel, their discipline, their numbers make them invincible. But walls can be breached, roads can be ambushed, and numbers mean nothing against a storm that cannot be stopped.
