- A way out?
Chief Omar fell into deep thought for a short time, and he had not considered this issue once.
Nowadays, all the Bedouin tribes living in the Cuman Desert have concentrated here in Koso. The reason is that they are now severely oppressed by the three major tribes and have to unite to deal with it.
However, even if the Bedouin united, they could not compete with any of the three major tribes.
This is like an ant fighting an elephant, the result is self-evident.
Earlier, the leaders of thirteen Bedouin tribes unanimously decided that they planned to seek help and support from the Song Empire to cope with the crisis.
This is also the reason why Aziz and the others went to Cairo as an envoy.
And Aziz¡¯s mission was indeed very successful. They reached an agreement with Mabond in Cairo, and obtained Mabond¡¯s approval and approval, and agreed to let the Bedouin take refuge under the wings of the empire.
Furthermore, Mabond also dispatched the Imperial Army and entered Cuman under the leadership of Aziz and others.
It was originally planned that the Song Empire could send a huge army into Cuman, so that the three major tribes would be afraid and would not dare to act rashly.
In the end, the unstable situation in the Cuman region was suppressed and a relative balance was maintained.
"It's a pity that the number of Emperor Song's troops dispatched by Ma Bangdang was only 4,000.
Although this 4,000-man army is an elite force, these few people are of no use to the current situation in Cuman.
?That is to say, at some point, you can protect yourself.
Not to mention protecting the thirteen tribes in the Bedouin Federation.
So, under such circumstances, it is also appropriate to make plans for the future of the tribe and yourself.
So, we can¡¯t say that the bearded man¡¯s idea is wrong.
"Knowing that your strength is not enough, but still fighting with an enemy that is dozens of times more powerful than yourself, is not wise but stupid.
If you are alone. There is nothing wrong with trying to be a hero, but behind the leader of any tribe, there are people and subordinates who don¡¯t need to be considered.
For this reason, you can¡¯t be this kind of ¡®hero¡¯.
Obviously it is impossible to fight against the three major tribes, which means that there is basically no option left for them. There is no other possibility except leaving Cuman.
Of course, it¡¯s not impossible to stay.
The outcome is destined to be wiped out and annexed by one of the three major tribes, or the entire tribe will perish in the desert and become the dust of history.
Thinking about it, no one wants to see such a result.
Because there is a feud between the Bedouin and the three major tribes, they cannot choose to surrender to ensure the survival of their own tribe. Because this would make them traitors to all Bedouins, and they would be spurned and despised forever.
Therefore, the Bedouin tribes are facing the current difficult situation.
If this were not the case, they would not be so troubled and uncomfortable.
"You are right. Although the Song Empire's army is elite, its number is too small. It cannot play a big role in the current situation in Cuman." Omar nodded. He smiled bitterly in response to the bearded man. "As you said, maybe we should really consider whether we should move out of Cuman and start our lives again somewhere other than Cuman."
Although all the Bedouin were reluctant to leave Cuman. Including Chief Oma, no one would choose this step unless they could help.
¡°However, the choice before them is gone.
To stay is to perish. Or it may be annexed by a feud, and there may still be a chance of survival if you leave. And because it reached an agreement with the Song Empire, it became a vassal of the Song Empire.
So. If they leave Cuman and move to the vicinity of the Cairo Concession, the Song Empire will not ignore them.
The Song Empire¡¯s concession in Cairo was quite powerful, and the Song Empire was very rich. It was not difficult to support these tribes.
Therefore, when they migrated to Cairo, there would be no problems in their lives, and the Song Empire could help solve them.
At the same time, although these people moved to Cairo, they had to rely on the Song Empire for a long time to survive.
However, these tribes allowed the Song Empire to select young people from the tribes to join the army to fight for the Song Empire.
Thinking about it, the Song Empire should not refuse this condition.In addition, there are many benefits that tribes can provide to the Cairo Concession. In short, the Bedouins can bring considerable benefits to the Cairo Concession of the Song Empire. It is a mutually beneficial cooperation.
Thinking about it this way, it is much better to choose to migrate to Cairo than to stay and fight to the death with the three major tribes.
And with the protection of the Song Empire's army that entered Cuman, they would not suffer much losses during their migration.
After all, Zhang Xiao and the others have already proven their strength through a battle.
Omar also knows very well that if the Bedouin jointly start to migrate, even if they encounter some troubles, it will not be desperate.
Because the three major tribes are now staring at each other closely, looking for any mistakes of the other side, so as to launch a single blow to knock down the opponent.
Therefore, even if they knew that the Bedouin were going to migrate away from Cuman, the three major tribes were unlikely to react much.
"At most, it's just a small group of troops sent to harass them.
So, with the presence of Zhang Xiao¡¯s army, there is nothing to worry about when encountering harassment.
In just a short moment, Omar has thought very thoroughly.
It¡¯s just that he has never considered staying and cooperating with Zhang Xiao to fight against the three powerful tribes and seek the greatest interests in this Cuman hegemony.
"That's right, our current situation is not very good. It can be said that we have no more options. Others and I feel that moving away is not a good way to preserve ourselves."
The bearded man sighed helplessly, and then said to Omar.
"How many other people think like you?"
Omar asked.
The bearded man thought for a while: "There are six tribal leaders, eight if you include you. There are some people I haven't asked, but I think they should be convinced by me. The facts are in front of them. You know which choice is right, don¡¯t you?¡±
Omar thought for a moment, and Big Beard said that six tribes were already interested in migrating away from Cuman. Counting himself and Big Beard, there should be eight.
The Bedouin tribes of Cuman are uniting. There are thirteen tribes in total.
It can be said that more than half of the people in the entire alliance have already planned to migrate away.
The remaining five tribes are just people like Big Beard who plan to leave and have not yet communicated with them.
However, as Big Beard said, Omar himself judged that if the remaining five tribes knew the plans of Big Beard and others, they would probably make the same choice.
After all, anyone who is not a fool knows what is the right thing to do at the moment.
And migrated away from Cuman. Staying away from Cuman disputes can help you and your tribe survive. Living in the concession of the Cairo Song Empire, you no longer have to worry about life danger, and who wouldn't want to live a stable life.
No one wants to live a life full of danger of death at all times, not even the brave and capable Bedouin.
The reason why the Bedouins fight is just for their own survival.
If you can have a stable life without fighting, then why bother fighting with blood and life?
"Contact the other five tribes as soon as possible, hoping to make a decision within two days. We don't have much time. Every extra day will be more dangerous. So after they also make an absolute decision, no matter which five No matter what choice the tribe has, I will continue to migrate with the people."
The bearded man nodded and said that he would talk to the other five tribes as soon as possible. At the same time, he also told Omar that he would be like Omar, no matter what choices the five tribes had, they would leave in two days.
¡°To be honest, Big Beard and Omar would choose to leave in two days. Not without reason.
According to intelligence, a war between the three major tribes is very likely to break out in a short period of time.
And once this war breaks out. Then the Bedouin will inevitably be involved.
It is simply impossible to stay out of it.
The three major tribes will not let the Bedouins unite with this force to benefit other tribes.
So, the best choice is to leave before the war breaks out.
Speaking of which, they had too high expectations for the Song Empire, which wasted precious time.
Everyone thought that the Song Empire would send a huge army into Cuman with the knowledge of the envoy.But only four thousand people came.
Therefore, people like Omar had to choose to leave Cuman.
Anyway, we have established a relationship with the Song Empire, and the Song Empire is indeed very rich, and after they go to the Cairo Concession, they can also add a lot of help to the Song Empire, and the Song Empire will not refuse.
So, choosing to migrate away from Cuman is not a difficult choice to accept, right?
The fire lit in the center of the big tent was still burning blazingly. The little lamb riding above was golden and dripping with oil, and fell into the bonfire below, making a crackling sound.
The graceful dancer is still twisting her waist, releasing her enthusiasm and charm in front of the Bedouin tribe leaders.
It was in this environment that Big Beard and Chief Omar had already reached some conversations about the future of their respective tribes.
There are many leaders like Big Beard and Omar who whisper their views on the future. It's just that when they talk, their voices are very low so that no one else can hear them.
And Zhang Xiao, who was sitting with Farie outside the tent, had no way of knowing this.
At this time, Zhang Xiao had already stood up, reached out and patted the sand on his butt, then turned sideways and looked at Farie who also stood up.
"The ocean is completely different from the land, with a different style and magnificence. After the situation in Cuman stabilizes, our Song Empire will send people to Cuman to find a good place to build a port. At that time, I can bring You have seen the beautiful side of the ocean, and I think Corso is a good place, with the coastline nearby, and maybe we can choose to build a port here in the future."
After telling Farie about the ocean for almost two hours, Zhang Xiao was in a very good mood at this time.
Farie was full of curiosity about the ocean. When Zhang Xiao talked about ocean knowledge, she listened very seriously.
There was an unfinished expression on Farie's face. It was obvious that Zhang Xiao's two-hour description of the ocean could not fully satisfy this girl who was eager for knowledge.
However, it is impossible for Zhang Xiao to waste all his time teaching ocean knowledge to the little girl.
So, this matter can only come to an end.
Of course, Zhang Xiao was also very happy when he was with Farie.
If there was a chance to be alone with Farie like today, he would not refuse.
Girls don¡¯t just want to know about the ocean. There are many more things he can describe.
Besides, Farie seems to be the daughter of the chief of the Bagir tribe. Contact with this girl can also make friends with the Bagir tribe in disguise, right?
Farie raised her head slightly and looked at Zhang Xiao, who was much taller than her. Her eyes were bent into crescent moons and she was smiling. It was obvious that she was very happy tonight.
¡°Okay, keep your word, I¡¯m looking forward to continuing to hear you describe ocean things.¡±
Farie¡¯s response made the smile on Zhang Xiao¡¯s face grow stronger. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
