Strictly speaking, the environment in desert areas is the same no matter where you go.
??Sand, sand, nothing but sand is sand.
Occasionally, you may see some desert plants, but they are all sporadic, which makes people feel boring.
Only when you encounter an oasis in the desert will you see some green vegetation, which will refresh your mood.
But oases are very rare and precious in deserts.
If you are walking in the desert, most of the time, all you will see are endless stretches of undulating sand dunes, which can make people very desperate.
Of course, if you are lucky, you will see the wonder of mirage appearing on the horizon.
In the desert, such natural wonders are very common, and they are also a major feature of the desert.
Zhang Xiao, with his troops and more than 600 Bedouin warriors who had undergone brief training, was slowly marching towards the area where the three major tribes were fighting. During the march, he had already seen three mirages.
It¡¯s a pity that Zhang Xiao didn¡¯t have much time to appreciate this masterpiece of nature.
He was sitting on the back of a camel, thinking about the next military operations with half-squinted eyes.
The Bedouin tribes had all migrated away, leaving behind thousands of camels when they left. All the infantry under Zhang Xiao's command were turned into cavalry, which made them feel a little more relaxed.
Originally, Zhang Xiao captured more than 900 camels and used them to form a cavalry.
However, he still has more than 3,000 infantrymen under his command.
When fighting in the desert, it will be very troublesome if you only have to rely on your legs to march and fight.
Fortunately, this trouble no longer exists, otherwise it would have given Zhang Xiao a headache for a while.
Although it is already winter, the sunlight from the sky will still dry your exposed skin. This is also a major feature of the desert, so Zhang Xiao and the others had to change their clothes. He took off his imperial uniform and put on traditional Arab clothes.
Although this kind of clothing is not as handsome and spirited as the imperial uniform, it can effectively resist the desert sun.
So, at first glance, Zhang Xiao¡¯s marching team is no different from the Arab tribe army.
Especially next to this team, there is a real Arab team.
"According to the latest news, the Bukut people have shrunk their defense circle. It is obvious that they were unable to withstand the betrayal of the Tatanil people and the crazy attack of the Kopuyali people. And the people I sent out to see By now, the Tatanirs have captured many small tribesmen who are vassals of the Bukuts to quickly strengthen themselves."
Farie, who was also riding a camel, side by side with Zhang Xiao, with a black veil on her face, was telling Zhang Xiao some intelligence information reported back by her men.
Farie is also dressed in a male robe, with a long strip of cloth wrapped around her head, and a gauze covering her face.
¡°After all, this is a war, not an outing.
Therefore, it is understandable that Farie is dressed like a boy.
Of course, Farie has been raised as a boy by her father since she was a child. So basically she hasn't worn girls' clothes a few times, and she's very accustomed to boys' dressing up.
Zhang Xiao came back from his thoughts and picked up the kettle from his bag. "Gudong!" Gudong¡¯ took two big gulps.
ha!
Taking a long breath, Zhang Xiao said: "This is very right. The Tatanilians and the Kopuyali people join forces to deal with the Bukut people. In addition to solving this most powerful enemy, there is also a lack of existence. The plan is to take this opportunity to carve up the Kuts. It would be abnormal if they didn¡¯t do this.¡±
For these. Zhang Xiao has already made some judgments, so it is not surprising at all.
"Then what should we do?", Farie's gaze. It fell on Zhang Xiao through the gauze scarf, looking at him steadily and asked. "Didn't you say that we should also participate?"
Zhang Xiao: "That's right! This is indeed my plan, because this is a very good opportunity. If we don't take advantage of the opportunity to benefit from the Bukut people, then I will not forgive myself. After all, there is nothing wrong with the Bukut being powerful, but he cannot cope with the attacks of two enemies at the same time. Not to mention that they were tricked by the Tartanians and lost a large number of elite warriors, so Bukut People are relatively weak now, so why do you come to take advantage of us?"
For Zhang Xiao¡¯s words, Farie didn¡¯t feel disgusted in her heart.
thisThe desert is originally a place where the weak can eat the strong.
It is only natural to take advantage of the other party when he is weak.
But what worries Farie is that the intention is good. But how should we do this?
After all, the Tatanir and Kopuyali people already regard the Bukut people as meat on the chopping board, and they will not allow others to reap the benefits.
Don¡¯t let yourself lose something instead of not reaping the benefits.
Therefore, Farie could not help but bring up the things she was worried about to Zhang Xiao.
"Your intentions are good, but what should we do?" Because of the scarf, it was impossible to see the expression on Farie's face at this time. But even if he couldn't see it, Zhang Xiao could still guess the worried look on Farie's face at this time.
Unlike Farie, Zhang Xiao has strong confidence in the success of his plan.
?????????????? Aren¡¯t they just the Tatanilians and Copuyali people? It seems like there¡¯s nothing to worry about.
Of course, just because Zhang Xiao has information does not mean that Farie will do the same.
After all, I don¡¯t know much about the empire, so I don¡¯t understand where Zhang Xiao¡¯s confidence comes from.
Marching was very boring, and Zhang Xiao was happy to talk to Farie to pass the boring time. So, after thinking about it, he decided to explain it to Farie carefully and reassure the little girl not to worry too much.
¡°I can¡¯t say that what you are worried about is wrong, but do you think I am someone who would make such an uncertain decision?¡±
Zhang Xiao twisted his neck, causing a crackling sound on his neck.
Farie said nothing, she waited quietly for Zhang Xiao to continue speaking.
Comfortable! Zhang Xiao slowly exhaled a breath. A burst of expansion and contraction of the joints finally relieved the stiffness in his neck.
"It is true that the two forces, the Tatanils and the Kopuyali, already believe that the Bukut people's forces are their own. Any force that may come to share a piece of the pie will be met with crazy attacks by them. Blow."
Zhang Xiao raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck gently, and at the same time started to explain to Farie.
"However, the Bukut people have not been completely defeated yet, and they can still fight for a long time. Facing the resistance of the Bukut people, whether it is the Tatanil people or the Kopuyali people, they must use all their strength Only by going there can we suppress the Bukut people."
Having said this, Zhang Xiao grinned, showing his big white teeth, and smiled brightly at Farie.
"So, even if we join in, do you think the Tatanilians and Kopuyali people will have extra power to deal with us?"
It suddenly dawned on Farie that this seemed to be the case.
"The vassal tribes of the Bukut people are a big cake. We can also control these tribes and then convert them into our own fighting power. But there is no rule that only Tatanil and Kopuyali are allowed. Be able to share this."
What Zhang Xiao said is not wrong at all.
It is only a matter of time before the Bukut people fail, and the vassal tribes under their command will eventually become someone else's.
Even the Bukut people will become slaves of the Tatanil people or the Kopuyali people to fight for them.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Tartanils can do it, the Kopuyari people can do it, but they themselves can¡¯t.
There is no such truth at all.
"Well, I guess you are right. The Tatanir and Kopuyali people have to deal with the Bukut people with all their strength. They have no way to deal with us, so they can give us a chance to fish in troubled waters.", Farie Shun After listening to Zhang Xiao's words, she understood his plan.
However, some of the worries in the girl's heart have not completely disappeared.
"But have you ever thought that as time goes by, after the Bukut people are finally wiped out, the Tatanil and Kopuyali people who are freed up will come together to deal with us."
Farie¡¯s worry is not without reason, and according to normal development, such a thing is really very likely to happen.
However, Zhang Xiao didn¡¯t have much reaction after hearing what Farie said. And he looked at Farie with a confident look on his face, with a faint smile on his face.
"What you said makes sense, but I am not a vegetarian. Of course I have considered this problem and have a solution."
When Farie heard it, Zhang Xiao said that he had a solution, and the curiosity in his heart couldn't help but grow.
"Can you tell me, what are your plans? If this problem can really be solved, then I will no longer have to worry about it, and I will fully support your decision in the future."
Farie is not a member of Zhang Xiao¡¯s Imperial Army. She and the Bedouin warriors who voluntarily stayed have great autonomy.
Although the Bedouin have surrendered to the empire, Zhang Xiao did not ask the Bedouin to send soldiers to join him to fight the three major tribes.
Even if he asked for it, the power to lead the troops may still belong to Zhang Xiao, so Farie and Zhang Xiao are considered to be in a cooperative relationship.
If Zhang Xiao cannot get Farie away from her worries, then Farie has reason to refuse to obey Zhang Xiao's orders, and Zhang Xiao has nothing to do about it.
Of course, this is only temporary, until Cuman completely falls into the hands of the empire. By that time, problems like this are definitely possible.
