Strictly speaking, the area of the Cuman Desert is not very large, because it was originally an area around Kuwait in the afterlife or another time and space.

There are also many Arab countries in the surrounding area, as well as some large forces of tribal associations.

Therefore, such as the turmoil in the Cuman region, it will definitely attract the attention of these forces. In particular, the Ottoman Empire, which provoked this dispute, paid great attention to this.

Originally, the Ottoman Empire was very concerned about giving up the Cuman region for special reasons.

It is precisely because of this that the Ottoman Empire, after withdrawing from Cuman, provoked a turbulent and strife situation here, which brought a lot of trouble to the Empire's stationing.

At that time, the Ottomans' plan was very simple, that is, to add blockage to the Song Empire.

Furthermore, if the Song Empire could not grasp the situation in the Cumans, the Ottoman Empire might be able to bring the Cuman region back under its control.

I have to say that the Ottoman Empire played this abacus very well.

It's just that they didn't expect that the Song Empire didn't care about this little trouble at all, and they wouldn't care.

And the Governor of the Cairo Concession, Governor Ma Bond, also guessed the intentions of the Ottomans, and despised their careful thinking.

After all, it was the Ottomans themselves who came to the concession to ask for economic assistance in exchange for the Cumans.

And he also gave assistance according to the needs of the Ottomans.

Well, in exchange for economic aid, the Cuman region was voluntarily ceded by the Ottomans.

But now, the Ottomans don't want to let go, so it's a bit too much to say.

You know, financial aid had already been given to the Ottomans.

The Ottomans, who got the money, did this, and it was completely like crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Fortunately, Ma Bond did not make the Ottomans any better, and he secretly financed the rebels in the northern part of the Ottoman Empire, causing them to cause unrest in the northern part of the Ottoman Empire, so that the Ottomans could no longer focus on the Cuman region.

Moreover. With the covert help of Ma Bond, the rebels who were originally in the northern part of the Ottoman Empire actually occupied the Hungarian Empire, and at the same time threatened the security of the northern part of the Ottoman Empire on this basis.

Because the rebels were originally a group living under the oppression of the Ottoman Empire, their hatred for the Ottomans could be described as higher than the sky, deeper than the sea, and irreconcilable.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have revolted.

The main reason is that the Ottomans oppressed them too badly, so that these people could not bear it.

So, after such a group of people have a turf. The threat to the Ottoman Empire was very severe.

It is precisely because of such a factor that the Ottomans are now really powerless about the Cuman region that they have abandoned.

All they can do now is give attention, and there is nothing they can do about the substance.

After all, now all their energy was focused on how to deal with the Hungarian principality occupied by the insurgents.

You know, with the Principality of Hungary as a territory, the rebels can recuperate and accumulate strength.

This is different from the wandering rebel forces that have no territory. It's very threatening.

If this force is not addressed, then give them some time and let them develop slowly. The northern frontier of the Ottoman Empire will never be at peace.

And the Ottomans. It will also pay a heavy price for this, that is, all military power and economy must be put into dealing with the problems and things in northern Xinjiang.

This is something that the Ottomans did not want to see.

Moreover, these insurgents were dealt with. You can also easily take the territory of the Principality of Hungary into the palm of your hand. This was a very good opportunity, and if it was missed, the Ottoman rulers would not forgive themselves.

Of course. The 'boss' of the Hungarian principality, the European ecclesiastical bloc, will not remain indifferent. After all, the territory of the Principality of Hungary could not be ceded like this.

The Ottoman Empire was well aware of this.

However, the military power of the Church group was now involved in the war with Portugal and France. There is no military force left to retake the Hungarian principality.

Therefore, this gave the Ottoman Empire a great opportunity.

As long as the Church Military Group can regain the Principality of Hungary, the former Northern Rebels who occupied the Principality of Hungary can be eliminated and the Principality of Hungary can be occupied at the same time. Then even if the church military group had a conflict with the Ottoman Empire in the future, the Ottoman Empire could calmly deal with it.

Anyway, now the Ottoman Empire has torn its face with the Church military bloc, and a conflict has begun in the Mediterranean.

Moreover, the Grand Duke of the former Duchy of Hungary rushed back from the front line of the Portuguese-French battlefield with his army and was completely annihilated, so that the Church military group could no longer mobilize forces against the Principality of Hungary for a long time.

Therefore, the Ottoman Empire must seize the whole opportunity.

And this qiē is exactly what Ma Bond wants to see in the Cairo Concession, especially the fact that the Ottomans will focus and energy on dealing with the rebel army on the side of the Hungarian principality, which is what Ma Bond hopes the most.

Hey!

It would turn into a meat grinder, allowing the limited military power of the Ottomans to sink into it. When their military power is heavily lost, some domestic opposition will rise one after another.

At that time, the turbulent Ottoman Empire will be in turmoil.

Splitting is not an impossible thing.

Since the Ottomans want the Yin Empire, don't blame yourself for making some big trouble for the Ottomans now.

Therefore, Cuman is in full swing here, and the Ottomans do not have the energy to participate, at most they only pay attention to it.

As for those forces other than the Cuman Empire, they did not dare to act rashly because they could not find out some of the internal information in the Cuman region.

Of course, it is also because Cuman is really very barren here, and there is no production. Therefore, even if they participate in the merger, for these forces, it is a thing that outweighs the loss.

So, let's just watch the excitement and pay attention to the progress of the war.

If Cumuang is a fertile land with a lot of mineral resources, then this is not the case.

But in fact, there's really nothing left here but endless sand.

Therefore, for the sake of such a barren land, it is simply impossible for the major forces to participate.

Only if the Song Empire knows what kind of wealth is buried under this desert, will it join this war.

And a country like the Song Empire, how many can there be in this world.

After all, the Song Empire is open.

Not to mention the attention of the surrounding forces to the Cuman region, it is just that after Zhang Xiao and Fariyah led the Imperial Army, the Bedouin warriors under their command and more than 1,000 slave warriors entered the territory of the Kopoari, they began a series of operations.

In addition, they used many means to make some of the small tribesmen who were under the command of the Kopoari join the team.

Therefore, in a very short period of time, Zhang Xiao's team quickly expanded to more than 20,000 people.

And, as they move deeper and deeper into Kopari's territory, the number continues to grow. As they approached the location of the Kopoari tribe, the number eventually stabilized at around 30,000 people.

Driven by profit, these people who joined in, every time after the Imperial Army destroyed a tribe, they would rush in and loot like hungry wolves.

They inflict on others what they have suffered, and they find a sense of satisfaction in others.

These are all things that Zhang Xiao wants to see.

It is precisely because of this that these people have no way to retreat, so they can only follow Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army to the dark.

The people of this group came from many tribes, and they had the same experience, and even when their own tribe was in trouble, their companions robbed them.

Because of this, there are many contradictions within this group, and it is impossible to be monolithic.

Because of this, Zhang Xiao is not worried at all that they will twist into a rope and pose any threat to himself at that time.

As long as this contradiction exists, then they can only rely on themselves to follow themselves, and they cannot go out independently.

Therefore, the fate of these people is already predestined.

They are the best cannon fodder.

"General, ahead is the tribal settlement of the Kopoari. I heard that the Kopoari people also have a small city, and all the tribal populations scattered around it. At this time, Zhang Xiao's adjutant was reporting to him.

The team moved forward quickly, and their gains in the territory of the Kopyali were not small.

Basically, half of the wealth looted by the looters became the wealth of the Imperial Army.

After all, on the Cumen side, the rules were like this, and half of the stuff had to be handed over to depositors like the Imperial Army.

And those slave soldiers who were brought back by Zhang Xiao in the early stage also made a lot of money.

Therefore, the faces of the people in the queue were full of joy.

"Oh, and the Kobeari still have a city? I didn't expect it at all, how did they get it in such a desert area. ”

After listening to the adjutant's words, Zhang Xiao showed a look of surprise.

"It looks like a small city, made entirely of clay and sand. It is completely different from the strong city we remember, and it can even be said to be very simple. But in such an environment as Cuman, it is also very good. ”

The adjutant told Zhang Xiao bit by bit about the information he had sought. (To be continued......)
