AH challenge : Wank Eurasia better than the Mongols did!

Any nation in Eurasia and Northern Africa from anywhere before 1900 is eligible
It has to be an interconnecting land empire just like the Mongols
Oh be near ASB but please not ASB

My bet goes to Achaemenid Persia winning the Greco-Persian wars
They set up a satrap there and the Greek bargained for democracy, which in the end Achaemenids employed all over the Empire, decentralized and democratic, the Persians opened room for more expansion
What's yours?

One problem is that the Mongols effectively DID conquer all of Eurasia...pretty much everything except India and western Europe. Maybe a militaristic Chinese empire makes the steppe tribes vassals and uses them to conquer Eurasia. The Persians could work too. Maybe the Umayyad Caliphate holds together and conquers Europe, then India, then the steppes, then China by converting the Mongols to Islam and using them for these conquests. If you can't beat em, join em.
