The Arab tribal war in the Cuman region is already on the verge of breaking out.

Faced with such a situation, the Ottomans, who had already given Cuman to the Song Empire, were secretly very happy.

Although they sent the Cumans away in order to obtain a large loan in order to obtain a large amount of money in the case of the Song Empire, the Ottomans were also uncomfortable.

Although the Cuman region was a barren land, and the tribes that lived here were still unruly and did not submit to the Ottoman Empire.

But in any case, Cuman was also part of the Ottoman Empire, wasn't it?

When the Ottomans occupied the Cuman region, they paid a lot of price here.

But now, the Song Empire has easily obtained this, how can the Ottomans feel comfortable.

However, the agreement has now been implemented, and the Ottomans are not easy to overturn.

Therefore, they could only withdraw the garrison from Cuman, ready to hand it over to the Song Empire to receive.

However, the Ottomans did not intend to let the Song Empire obtain this barren land so easily, so secretly they also made a mistake and prepared to make some trouble for the Song Empire.

The current bad situation in the Cuman region was actually created by the Ottomans.

So, how could they not be happy?

It's just that this kind of happiness should be placed in the dark, and they won't show it at will.

Nowadays, the war between the tribes in the Cuman region is on the verge of breaking out, and the Song Empire has not yet formally taken over the management.

The Ottomans also wanted to see how the Song Empire would take over in such a bad situation.

The Ottomans knew the three major tribes of the Cuman region very well.

At the beginning, under the rule of the Ottomans, they did not dare to say that they had really conquered these three tribes.

It can only be said that there were some unwritten rules between the Ottomans and the three major tribes.

The three tribes did not want to destabilize the situation, and the Ottomans needed to collect as much tax revenue as possible, and as long as the law and order were not too chaotic, then the Ottomans would not care so much.

In addition, the Ottomans were indeed the most powerful countries in this period. Therefore, it is impossible for the three major tribes to challenge the Ottoman Empire during this period.

That is, some elements of disharmony in the Cuman region were completely suppressed under the strong military power of the Ottomans.

Now that the Ottomans had withdrawn from Cuman, there was a power vacuum and a complete absence of rules.

Therefore, the troubles that had been regulated and suppressed by the Ottomans earlier have now all erupted.

Needless to say, the small tribes are entangled in different hatreds between the three major tribes.

In this desert, vendettas for survival are not uncommon.

Therefore, there is such and such hatred between the three major tribes. Actually, it's not surprising.

It can be said that the three major tribes also have a hostile relationship of feud, and usually these hatreds are suppressed by the Ottomans and do not break out.

But now it is completely different, the Ottomans have withdrawn from this area, and how can the three tribes that are suppressed not break out into conflict.

Avenge! Benefit! More importantly, ambition!

When these points are mixed together, war is inevitable.

For the Ottomans, the Cuman region was a barren land, there was no rich product and minerals here, and even if it was given to the Song Empire, there was nothing to be sorry for.

But this world of yellow sand, for the Arab tribes living here. But it has a different meaning.

Except for some tribes, who were tricked by the Ottomans into migrating, the three major tribes and most of the small and medium-sized tribes did not migrate away but chose to stay.

They are unwilling to leave the yellow sand world chosen by their ancestors, and they will continue to follow the will of their ancestors. To continue to survive here.

Otherwise, wouldn't they be sorry for their ancestors who shed blood for you and lost their lives?

However, the tribes that chose to stay were not having a good time, because the conflict between the three tribes began to break out. and began to sweep and spread, and involved them all.

Skirmishes broke out between the three tribes at the beginning, and large-scale wars did not begin immediately.

After all, none of the top leaders of the three major tribes are idiots.

So. They all chose to immediately annex and conquer those small and medium-sized tribes to strengthen their power.

Because of the annexation and subjugation of these small and medium-sized tribes, in addition to being able to increase their own strength, they can also reduce the chances of their opponents to grow.

Although the three major tribes have not yet broken out into a large-scale tribal war immediately, as long as anyone with a brain knows that after the three major tribes conquer and annex all the small and medium-sized tribes of the Cuman, then the war will break out.

This is not unexpected.

And now the integration here in the Cuman Desert is nearing the end.

Except for the union of a dozen or so small tribes of the Bedouins, basically the other tribes were annexed by the three major tribes.

Now the energy of the three major tribes is focused on the union of the Bedouins.

As long as the Bedouins are conquered, then the war between the three tribes will definitely break out.

So ah, now people are watching when the Bedouins fall.

In the face of the aggressive three tribes, although the Bedouins, the last free tribe in the Cuman region, united, they could not resist any of the three tribes.

The reason is simple, the opponent is too strong.

The Bedouin union consisted of thirteen small tribes, the largest of which numbered only seven or eight thousand, and the youngest of which numbered less than five thousand.

Combined, the population has just exceeded 50,000, and the number of warriors is about 8,000 at best.

If any of the three major tribes are taken out, the number of warriors that can be dispatched is also around 50,000, which is absolutely advantageous in terms of numbers.

Not to mention that the population of each of the three major tribes is in the number of three or four hundred thousand people, which is simply not comparable.

Therefore, the Bedouin union, in the eyes of others, is completely inadequate as a mantis arm.

However, the three major tribes that have grown in the Cuman region did not expect that the Bedouins did not choose to surrender to them and become vassals, but chose to take refuge in the Song Empire, the real owner of the Cuman region.

This is something that the three tribes never expected.

Of course, even the three major tribes knew about the Bedouin tribe alliance option. I guess they will laugh at each other.

Because they don't know about the Song Empire, let alone have any interest in understanding it.

In the eyes of the three major tribes, could the people of the Song Empire still be stronger than the Ottomans?

You know, even if they are as powerful as the Ottomans, they are not polite to the three major tribes.

When the Ottomans conquered the Cuman region, they fought fiercely with the three major tribes, and after paying a very heavy price, they did not let the three tribes succumb.

It is precisely for this reason that in the end the Ottomans had to put down their position and sign some agreements with the three major tribes to pay some benefits. Only then did they have the right to rule the Cuman region.

Although the three major tribes suffered a lot of losses at the beginning, they succeeded in winning the Ottomans' interests with their courage and perseverance.

Therefore, the Song Empire first had to take over the Cuman region from the Ottomans, so how could it be so easy.

In their hands, the Ottomans were able to suffer, and it was not the same when the Song Empire came.

What's more, the three major tribes now have large populations, and it is impossible to try to rule the Cumans by them.

Where is the Song Empire. They don't know.

However, there was one thing that the Ottomans revealed privately at that time, that is, the Song Empire was very far away from Cumanist, and it was also separated by a vast ocean.

In other words, although the Song Empire had the right to rule the Cuman region. But they don't have the means to send absolute military force to take control of it.

In this way, the three major tribes were given a chance.

Yes, it's opportunity.

Why can't they rule the Cuman region?

Is it bad for Arabs to rule Arabs?

There is no need for outsiders to rule themselves, they can establish a state belonging to the Arabs here in Cuman.

Once this ambition arises. It's impossible to press it down.

After all, if successful, the benefits are clear.

But. There are three tribes with strong military power here.

Therefore, for the sake of future domination, the three major tribes will not all break out into war.

Besides, the three major tribes still have a relationship of hatred for each other, so wouldn't it be a double win to take revenge and fight for hegemony.

It's just pity for those small and medium-sized tribes, annexed and conquered in the process.

It is precisely because of the demagogy of the Ottomans that the three major tribes did not take the Song Empire in their eyes at all.

In their opinion, it was really a joke for the Song Empire, which could not dispatch absolute military power, to take over Cuman.

At the same time, the Ottomans took advantage of this psychology of the three tribes and sold some inferior weapons to the three tribes, making huge profits.

You must know that the Ottomans purchased tens of thousands of fine steel weapons and armor from the concession in addition to borrowing money from the hands of Ma Bond, and Prince Mustafa, who sent the envoy.

Now, the concession side has made deliveries.

Getting this batch of sophisticated weapons and armor, the Ottomans were of course very happy, after all, the legions equipped with these sophisticated weapons could greatly improve their combat effectiveness.

However, the Ottomans also had to face a small problem.

That is, after equipping these sophisticated weapons and armor, there are bound to be some old weapons and armor that will be eliminated.

These obsolete weapons and armor are not good and thrown into the warehouse, which will be very wasteful.

After all, the good armor of these weapons that have been eliminated is not a small number, but also a lot of money.

Therefore, in order not to waste these weapons and armor, the Ottomans took advantage of the unstable situation in the Cuman region to sell these obsolete goods to the three major tribes in large quantities.

And after obtaining these weapons and armor, the three major tribes have more confidence.

Although these weapons and armor were eliminated by the Ottomans.

But in the Cuman area, these are all good things, and you can't usually buy them if you want to.

Therefore, the three major tribes can be regarded as 'shotguns for guns', and the fire of their ambition is even more burning and cannot be extinguished. (To be continued......)
