"The campground of Lamode is just ahead. Look at the oasis that appears as we head towards it. That's our destination."
After three days of marching, Zhang Xiao led four thousand emperors, led by Aziz as their guide, and finally arrived at Koso, where the Lamod tribe is located.
A few days ago, they were attacked by the Kurds, a vassal of the Tatanir people. After defeating the Kurds, they arrived at the former headquarters of the Bajir tribe.
Sure enough, just like the information they received, the Bagir tribe has moved away and no one is left.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao did not stop, but continued to move the army forward without resting in that oasis.
Zhang Xiao understands that the current situation in the Cuman region is extremely unfavorable to the Bedouin people. Therefore, he had to reach Koso and make contact with the Bedouin before the three major tribes conquered the Bedouin.
Although he does not have many troops, he is confident that he can ensure that the Bedouin people survive the crisis.
The number of four thousand emperors is indeed not a lot, but considering the tactics that transcend the times and the muskets that are ahead of the times, Zhang Xiao wants to ensure that the Bedouins can still do it.
Even if we take a step back, we can guarantee half of it. After all, with the support of the Bedouin, it will become easier for the empire to rule the Cuman region in the future.
¡° Moreover, if there is any friction between the many tribes in Cuman in the future, the Bedouins can also be asked to mediate. On the contrary, the empire would not be so troublesome.
¡°After all, the Cuman region is populated by Arabs, and their culture, concepts, and other aspects are very different from the empire.
If you want to completely integrate the Arabs, it will definitely not be achieved in a short time.
This is something that takes a long time to complete.
And during this period. The Bedouin will be very useful.
Therefore, before leaving, the governor of the Cairo Concession, Mabonde, also found Zhang Xiao and gave him serious instructions.
He must ensure the safety of these Bedouin tribes. At least the bottom line is to ensure that there are only a few tribes. It will not be conquered by the three major tribes.
Now the Bagir tribe has migrated. This shows how unfavorable the situation that the Bedouin are facing now is to them.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Xiao did not want any accidents to occur. That¡¯s why I rush on my way as hard as I can. that's all. Three days later, Zhang Xiao and the others appeared in the Koso area, on the outskirts of the oasis where the Lamod people live.
By this time, the thirteen Bedouin tribes had gathered together.
Because of the oppression of the three major tribes, they all responded to the call and migrated one after another, rushing here to join other tribes. Face crises with greater strength.
Zhang Xiao and his team appeared and were discovered by the scouts dispatched by the tribes. After all, Zhang Xiao and the others had no intention of hiding anything, and besides, they couldn¡¯t hide it even if they wanted to in an environment like the desert, right?
Therefore, after receiving the report from the scouts. Because they didn't know who Zhang Xiao and the others were, the tribes united together and hurriedly selected a cavalry of 6,000 people to leave the station and blocked Zhang Xiao and the others in their march.
In the past few days, there have been many sightings of cavalry from the three major tribes on the outskirts of the Koso region.
Although the cavalry teams of these three major tribes have not launched any attacks on Coso, this is also a very bad signal.
It may be that the opponent did not launch any attack because of the lack of troops, but the appearance of the opponent is already a bad thing.
After discovering the whereabouts of the three major tribal cavalry, all the tribal members gathered in Corso Lamod suddenly became nervous.
The appearance of Zhang Xiao and the others made him mistakenly believe that the three major tribes had finally sent out their troops to attack them.
Therefore, it is no wonder that they would send troops to block Zhang Xiao and others' march.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiao also understood that it was probably the appearance of people like himself that caused the other party to misunderstand something.
Therefore, we did not immediately order an attack on the combined tribal army blocking the front.
At this time, Aziz also immediately urged the camel to rush out first.
When passing by Zhang Xiao, Aziz hurriedly apologized apologetically.
"General, please exercise restraint. This must be a misunderstanding. I will make it clear."
Zhang Xiao can also make some guesses about what Aziz will do.
So, he nodded.
NoHowever, the imperial soldiers were still prepared for battle.
¡°I¡¯m not afraid of 10,000, I¡¯m just afraid of what happens if it¡¯s not 10,000. Zhang Xiao doesn¡¯t want to capsize in the gutter.
"This is a misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding! I am Aziz, the elder of the Bagir tribe. We have just returned from a mission to Cairo. Those people are all troops sent by the Cairo Song Empire!"
Aziz urged the camel to run forward, raised his right hand high and shook it, and shouted loudly at the same time.
In addition to Aziz, among the entourage who followed him on his mission to the Cairo Song Empire Concession, there was also a middle-aged man who rushed out from Zhang Xiao's team.
This middle-aged man didn¡¯t talk much along the way, so Zhang Xiao didn¡¯t have too many ideas for him.
However, Zhang Xiao also heard from Aziz that everyone in their team sent to the Cairo Concession were selected from various Bedouin tribes, not just the Bagir tribe.
In other words, these people include Aziz from the Bagir tribe, and there are also envoys from twelve other tribes.
At the same time, the decision to surrender to the Song Empire was unanimously approved by all the Bedouin tribes.
This is also a factor why Mabond is very concerned about this.
The reason is very simple, because this is not just a matter of obtaining a small tribe with a population of less than 5,000, but an important matter related to the Bedouin vassalage of 13 tribes with a population of seven or eight people.
Although the number of 70,000 to 80,000 people is nothing in Kuman today.
Furthermore, these people also belong to thirteen tribes, so the value will be greatly reduced if they are scattered.
¡°But Mabond is very optimistic about this and feels that he can take advantage of it.
Of course, this issue does not need to be discussed too deeply. In short, the mission to Cairo was approved by the thirteen tribes.
The middle-aged man who followed Aziz and rushed out of the team was a member of the local Lamode tribe and one of the envoys to Cairo this time.
Among the teams blocking the way in front were people from the Bagir tribe and people from the Lamod tribe. So when Aziz and the middle-aged man appeared, the whole team immediately became commotion.
"It's Uncle Aziz! It's really Uncle Aziz! He's come back from the Song Dynasty. This means that the army opposite us is the Song Dynasty's army!"
Because Zhang Xiao and the others were discovered and reported, the Lamod tribe, as well as the other twelve tribes that had migrated and concentrated here, immediately formed this temporary force to block here.
Because everyone doesn¡¯t know whether the appearance of Zhang Xiao¡¯s army is a precursor to the three major tribes attacking the Bedouin. And behind Zhang Xiao and the others, are there any troops around the area?
Therefore, they only temporarily formed a combined army of 6,000 people to try to stop Zhang Xiao and the others.
"Compared to the three major tribes, the Bedouin's power is still weaker after all.
Therefore, even against Zhang Xiao and his four thousand troops, the Bedouin United did not dare to send out all their troops. They must reserve more than half of their strength to guard against possible threats.
Of course, this joint army from thirteen tribes blocked here, but the station at the oasis in the distance did not rest either. The chiefs of the thirteen tribes gathered together, constantly speculating and discussing Zhang Xiao Where do they come from? Are they the army of one of the three major tribes?
At the same time, it is judged how they will deal with it if they become one of the three major tribes.
Zhang Xiao didn¡¯t know earlier that the appearance of people like himself would make the Bedouin people suddenly become so nervous.
There is obviously some feeling of unrest.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????Out of the "female" girl Farie from the Bagir tribe, she is a girl who believes that women are not inferior to men.
Although she is a girl, she was born a girl.
But her temperament and character are much stronger than many men.
So, when she got the news, she immediately joined with her own bodyguards.
After discovering Aziz, the person who yelled was Fariya's personal attendant, a teenage boy.
Dressed as a man, with a white cloth wrapped around his head and wearing traditional men's clothing, Fariya dialect looked around and saw that the person running over on a camel was indeed the elder Aziz who was on an envoy to Cairo.
Suddenly, Farie felt relieved.
Although she has a strong character, she is tougher than many men.
But after all, she also understands the cruelty of war.
The appearance of Aziz made her relieved for no other reason than that it at least made her feel that she no longer had to fight and die.
The six thousand warriors from other tribes who appeared here can all go back intact and return to their relatives.
This is the real reason why Farie breathed a sigh of relief.
After taking a deep breath, Farie also raised her right arm, holding it high and waving it continuously.
"Uncle Aziz! I am Liye! I am Liye!"
At this time, the Lamod soldiers in the team also discovered the middle-aged man who flew out of the opposite team following Elder Aziz, the envoy from La Mod¡¯s tribe
