Chapter 1380: Arabian Storm (Fifty-One)
The trip, interrupted by a sneak attack by the Kurds, began again, and Zhang Xiao also rode a camel, and quickly became proficient under the guidance of Aziz.
Sitting on the back of a camel, Zhang Xiao also had to sigh again and again, in the environment of the desert area, the camel is worthy of being the best and most convenient means of transportation.
"Elder Aziz, let's continue with that conversation earlier. I'm curious to know why the Tatanir chieftains are so miserable as you say? If he really is so unbearable, but why is he able to rule the Tatanir tribe? ”
Zhang Xiao felt very incomprehensible about this question.
In his opinion, the Arabs living in Cuman thought that they were the same as the eastern steppe tribes. They are all very strong people, so the chieftain of the tribe is not a strong and able to bring hope to people, so it is impossible for the tribesmen to be convinced of him.
Then, if such a person becomes a chief, the tribe will not be so stable.
If in the East, the chief of a tribe knew that he was drunk and dreamed of death all day long, and even brought the upper echelons of the entire tribe to such a situation, the brave warriors below would have overthrown them a long time ago.
Of course, such a thing will happen to the tribes of the eastern steppes, not necessarily on behalf of the Arab tribes of the Cuman region.
But, at least Zhang Xiao feels that since they are all nomads, then they should have something in common.
Besides, even if it is not a nomadic people, in any national capital, the appearance of such a ruler and a ruling group with a dark background that cannot bring hope to people will provoke some ambitions from the people below, right?
Therefore, Zhang Xiao was very curious about the affairs of the Tatanirs.
At least, much more curious than about the Bukuts and Kopyali.
After the tension of the Kurdish sneak attack earlier, Aziz, who is now completely relaxed and sitting on a camel in parallel with Zhang Xiao, heard this, and responded with a smile: "Now the Tatanir chieftain position. He was the heir of his father. And after his father died, he left behind many reliable elders in the center as helpers. So now that guy can easily rule the tribe, and he can also use the men left behind by his father to develop the Tatanirs. ”
"Besides, that guy doesn't just know how to eat, drink, and have fun, he also knows how to pull everyone along to do it. Therefore, he is very popular at the top of the tribe, especially young people like him. And these young people are not as rigid and conservative as the older generation, so they like the current chief very much. ”
The thoughts of these high-level family members gathered around him can influence their respective families behind them. Even some people have ambitions. But there is also this question to consider. Besides, the current leader of the Tatanirs is not entirely an idiot and fool, but he has focused all his energy on not doing his job. ”
"However, it has to be denied that the Tatanirs are indeed powerful. The men left behind by the old chieftain are also very loyal and reliable, and it is thanks to their people that Tatanir can continue to maintain steady development and slowly increase his strength. ”
Aziz's answer made Zhang Xiao not very satisfied.
Although listened to Aziz's answer. It is clear that the current Tatanir chief is still a bad guy, but it is clear that Aziz is also very disdainful of the chieftain.
He doesn't seem to have any ability, and now he completely relies on the manpower left by his old man.
Without the support and support of those people, the Tatanirs would have been in the hands of this chief. Only the devil knows what it will become.
Of course, Aziz will also be a little jealous.
Who can let the family have a good father, who can leave so many reliable talents for his son to support this unobtrusive second ancestor to lead the tribe. And also in order.
Although he saw the little jealousy on Aziz's face, Zhang Xiao didn't care about it at all.
There were too many things in his mind at this time.
"The men left behind by his father are so reliable, won't anyone have any ambitions? To know. The human heart is the most unpredictable, and who can guarantee that the man left behind by his father will be so loyal? Especially when this chief is so out of tune. ”
Zhang Xiao raised his right hand, slowly stroked his chin while shopping, and asked Aziz with half-squinted eyes.
"Who's to say it isn't, we're very curious about it. However, we don't know what happened, but the old chief's men were indeed loyal to the current young chief. ”
Aziz doesn't know much about this either, after all, he's not a Tatanir.
Most of the things he knows now are obtained through other channels.
Moreover, because he is an Arab born and raised in the Cuman region, if it were an outsider like Zhang Xiao, he would not know so much at all.
"Alas!"
Zhang Xiao sighed.
"I have to say that this is a second-generation child with good luck, there is a good old man, but he is much stronger than ordinary people. Ordinary people may not be able to obtain such a status and have so many reliable subordinates after a lifetime of hard work. ”
Aziz agrees with Zhang Xiao's feelings.
"yes, this guy's luck is good. Even I have to admit that human destiny is sometimes really a mysterious thing. ”
The reason why Zhang Xiao sighed was because he felt that in this era, he would actually encounter this kind of second generation who relied on his parents.
I didn't have any other thoughts, I just sighed.
Aziz was different, he lamented because of Chiguoguo's jealousy.
Yes, this old man is jealous.
I think he, Aziz, has lived so long, and he can't find a few reliable subordinates, and he is only an elder of a small tribe.
And the current chief of the Tatanirs, not to mention his young age, can inherit the high position to rule a super large tribe at once, where is like himself, who used to be only the son of a centurion, and now he is just an extremely ordinary elder in the tribe after a lifetime of struggle.
Look at how old people are, and then see how old you are.
How much did people pay?
How much did you give?
So, ah. How could Aziz not be jealous.
He will die of jealousy.
"I don't believe that those people are really so loyal." , Zhang Xiao thought about it, but still didn't believe you very much. Because the education and knowledge he received came from a virtual world that was very similar to modern times.
And in that era, all kinds of information were developed.
Whether it's novels or current events, there are a lot of news and jokes about betrayal.
Even, for some money and benefits, even the closest relatives have the opposite purpose.
Not to mention the involvement of a tribe as large as the Tatanirs, if they can succeed in overthrowing the current chieftain. Then he will suddenly become a strong man who rules over more than a million people.
Who wouldn't be tempted?
Although Aziz said so, Zhang Xiao didn't think it was really the case.
Maybe there's something in this that outsiders don't know.
Loyal?
Hehe!
The reason why there is no betrayal is probably because the interests are not enough.
Once the interests are sufficient, betrayal is obviously not impossible.
Come to think of it, those guys who assisted the current Tatanir chieftain can be honest now, just because the price is not enough to make them happy, right?
If sufficient costs and benefits can be given, it is not impossible to think that some of these people will betray.
Kindness. Of course, there are some very loyal people who are not unfounded.
But, after all, it can still make some people make the choice of betrayal, right?
Zhang Xiao doesn't think that the Cunzài of the assistant chieftains in Tatanil is really a monolith.
After all. The complex human mind has been thoroughly studied in the modern society of the virtual world.
The army slowly marched through the desert, and the 4,000 Imperial Army had been divided into two parts.
Part of them was three thousand people. All were made up of infantry.
The other part was more than 900 people who had been selected to become camel cavalry, and they had been grouped together and were now training on the march.
Thanks to the help and teaching of Aziz's companions. So these warriors, who were selected to become camel cavalry, could get acquainted with camels in a very short time.
It's just that in order to become a qualified camel cavalry, they need some time.
But at the very least, they can now sit comfortably on the back of a camel and urge the camel under their crotch to jog and slash and slash.
And with such a cavalry force, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xiao's team in the desert has been greatly improved.
Moreover, if there is any further attack in the future, after defeating the enemy, let this camel cavalry pursue him.
Instead of defeating the enemy and destroying more than ninety percent of the living forces, as was the case with the previous Kurdish sneak attack.
But there were also some lucky guys who escaped the killing of the Imperial Army.
The reason is very simple, because those who escaped all ran away on camels after seeing that the situation was not good.
At that time, Zhang Xiao's side was all infantry, and it was simply impossible to launch an effective pursuit of those fleeing enemies.
Especially in an environment like the desert, it is unrealistic to chase a camel rider with your feet, right?
Not anymore.
After Zhang Xiao had this cavalry of less than 1,000 people, he also had the strength to pursue it.
In the future, no matter which person is not long-sighted to find trouble, Zhang Xiao can kill it all.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao was in a very good mood along the way, and kept talking with Aziz about various problems of the three major tribes.
At this time, the Tatanirs did not know that the Kurdish cavalry they sent had been wiped out by the enemy they thought could be defeated...... (To be continued......)
