Chapter 1416: Arabian Storm (Eighty-Seven)
Because Zhang Xiao attacked the Tatanir army that attacked the Amors, and also annihilated them all. This made such a big deal happen, which made the Tatanirs very angry.
Of course, because they didn't know that Zhang Xiao had caused the attack, the Tatanirs took this revenge on the Bukuts, who were fighting them.
Carrying this black cauldron for no reason is very indifferent to the Bukuts.
Now the situation of the Bukuts was not very good, because they were betrayed by the Tatanirs, and the Tatanirs and Kopoyali united to fight them, and suddenly the Bukuts were in a difficult situation, and began to lose the upper hand in the fighting.
It can be said that the most hated by the Bukuts are the treacherous Tatanirs, so it doesn't matter if they carry this black cauldron.
Anyway, as long as the Tatanirs are unlucky, the Bukuts are happy.
As for who did this, Bukut will not delve into it.
Anyway, now both the Tatanirs and the Kopoyali believe that the Bukuts did this, so even if the Bukuts don't admit it, no one believes it.
What's more, the Bukuts didn't bother to explain anything.
Since their betrayal, the Tatanirs have been attacking the Bukuts and their vassals and small and medium-sized tribes, causing the Bukuts to suffer heavy losses during this period.
Therefore, the Bukuts hated the Tatanirs to the core.
Besides, since the Tatanirs have betrayed the Bukuts and continue to attack the Bukuts and their vassal tribes, it is impossible not to let the Bukuts take revenge.
This doesn't make sense.
Who said you can only beat people, but you are not allowed to beat you.
Even a scoundrel can't be a scoundrel like that.
So, the Tatanirs spread the word that the Bukuts had attacked their army and had caused a lot of damage. Even its temporary alliance, the Kopyali, was a little unbearable.
Could it be that only you, the Tatanirs, can fight others, but you can't let people fight back?
Bullshit!
Therefore, the Tatanirs shouted so loudly, but the Bukuts were very scaunting of their behavior.
Seeing that there was nothing to be gained by doing this, the Tatanirs began to take action to recover the loss they had eaten. Therefore, in a very short period of time, it was revenge to attack the three small tribes of a thousand people under the vassals of the Bukuts.
But unexpectedly, the Bukuts hated the Tatanirs to the bone marrow, but during this time they were pressed and beaten by the two tribes, so they were in a hurry for a while. There's simply no way to cope.
But as time went by, the Bukuts slowly stabilized their shape.
Even if they were still inferior, they had at least begun to fight each other against the Tatanirs and Kopyali.
With so much hatred accumulated, the Bukuts also need to vent their hatred.
And, under the combined attacks of the Tatanirs and Kobeyali, the small tribes of the Bukut vassals were beginning to show signs of instability.
Therefore, they desperately need a brilliant victory to prove that they are still capable of holding the situation in check. Meantime. Let the same mind of the vassal tribe be extinguished.
So, when the Tatanirs attacked the three small tribes under their command again, the Bukuts abandoned the Kopoyali side and began a fierce offensive against the Tatanirs.
Within seven days. The Tatanirs were all destroyed by the Bukuts, and they also attacked a Tatanir army of around 30,000 men and won.
It can be said that the Tatanirs were taken by surprise by the Bukuts who were hit at once. And the losses are significant.
The Tatanirs were also a little careless, believing that under the pressure of their combined attack with the Kopyali, the Bukuts would simply not be able to cope with it.
So. They could easily encroach on the Bukuts.
But the Tatanirs did not expect that the hatred for them would give the Bukuts a free hand. He actually gave up the confrontation with the Kopyali people, gathered his forces and concentrated his attacks on himself.
Since no accurate judgment was made on this qiē, the Tatanirs suffered a great loss in seven days, and they were very painful.
But when you think of the Tatanils' early intrigues against the Bukuts, and their betrayal on the battlefield, it's understandable why the Bukuts did this.
I have to say that the Bukuts gave it a go this time, and it really allowed them to regain a little bit of disadvantage.
And when they attacked the Tatanils, the Kopyali did not seize this opportunity and watched as the Tatanils were unlucky.
By the time the Kopyali reacted, the Bukuts had already divided their forces again and continued to confront the Kopyali.
If the Kobearis can seize this opportunity, they will at least be able to conquer half of the opponent's territory and wipe out a third of the opponent's vassal tribes while the Bukuts are fully committed to the Tatanirs.
Unfortunately, they missed out on this great opportunity.
Speaking of which, it is also to blame for the underdevelopment of communications in this era, and the Kopyali did not have a good grasp of the actions of the Bukuts.
That's why there was such a missed opportunity.
But now that's the case, regret is useless, isn't it?
The Tatanirs can be said to have temporarily lost the ability to continue fighting, and it will take a long time to recover.
Therefore, the Bukuts turned their energies to the side of the Kopyali.
Speaking of which, the Tatanirs are also unlucky.
Whoever let them do earlier was not very authentic, and provoked the Bukuts to hate them and hate.
And because of carelessness, the Bukuts were given such a chance.
If the Tatanirs had been more vigilant and had been a little more cautious, they would not have allowed the Bukuts to take this opportunity to retaliate.
So, to put it bluntly, this qiē still has to be their own.
After Zhang Xiao and the Amo people broke away from the area where the three major tribes were fighting, they returned to the oasis of the original Bajir tribe and set up camp. Every day, in addition to asking Fariyah to clean up the Amors, he constantly sent scouts to collect information about the three major tribes.
And, because of the repeated battles between the Bukuts and the Tatanirs. Many tribes perished. Therefore, Zhang Xiao 'rescued' the survivors of these tribes and brought them back to the camp to make them slaves.
It's not good to be a slave, but you can survive.
As long as you are obedient, then eating and drinking will not be less.
Coupled with Farier's 'teaching', those Amo and some of the slaves who were 'rescued' were also considered to have accepted their fate one by one.
Of course, in order to awaken their fighting spirit and courage, and at the same time let them go and be cannon fodder for themselves. Zhang Xiao still gave these slaves a hope, and promised a big pie.
For example. Male slaves can take weapons to fight for themselves, and how much money can be exchanged for one of the enemy's heads, Zhang Xiao gave a clear price.
At the same time, he promised that if the slaves had families, they could redeem their freedom with money.
And the promise that the guy who has no family, who is just the head of the enemy with a clear price, can already let them be driven by themselves.
Therefore, it did not take much effort and effort to subdue these people.
Arabs at this time. Life is not very rich either. It can even be said that it is very poor.
Most of them live in luxury, and that's just the leaders and high-ranking members of the super tribes.
So, Zhang Xiao said that the slave can also use the enemy's head to repay the money, which really attracted those people. and made them quickly make the decision to work for Zhang Xiao.
You know, in the past, they fought for the tribe, but there was no such good thing.
Usually the spoils of war will become the pockets of the leaders or high-ranking elders. And they fought and bled outside. On the contrary, there is no benefit.
Therefore, it can be seen how attractive Zhang Xiao's promise is to them.
Not to mention saving enough money. They were also able to redeem their families from the misery of slavery, and the hope was definitely worth it.
It's just that these guys have forgotten one thing, that is, as long as there is a war, people will die.
If they want to save their families from the misery of slavery, then they must be able to survive.
Otherwise, this qiē is all empty talk.
I don't know if they selectively ignored this, or if they didn't think of it at all.
Anyway, when Zhang Xiao gave this promise, whether it was the Amo people or those who were 'rescued' back and became Zhang Xiao's slaves, they all actively became members of Zhang Xiao's 'cannon fodder' team.
Although these Arabs who fell into the hands of Zhang Xiao were not reluctant at the beginning, and even had the feeling of resistance.
But after a day or two of living in a makeshift camp, they will be honest.
First of all, Zhang Xiao gave these people a very good meal, at least in the eyes of these Arabs who became slaves.
At the same time, Farier, who is in charge of these guys, has little patience for those who are stubborn, and she will be executed if she dares to find trouble.
Therefore, in such a situation, it is impossible to be honest.
In fact, the Arabs of this period had no concept of a state compared to the Europeans. And these people who fell into Zhang Xiao's hands are all survivors of the tribe that has been destroyed.
They have lost their tribe, so there is nothing wrong with becoming Zhang Xiao's 'people'.
The reason why they have resistance in the first place is because they are 'slaves'. That's why there is that kind of thought of rebellion.
However, when Zhang Xiao proposed that he could prove himself by fighting and make money to save his family, thoughts like this completely disappeared from their minds.
This is also a strategy of Zhang Xiao.
After all, Zhang Xiao couldn't let these people become 'his own people' from the beginning. They want to be 'their own', and that needs to be a process.
Besides, Zhang Xiao still has Bedouins under him, and he can't make these guys have the same status as Bedouins in the first place.
It's also unfair to the Bedouins, isn't it.
If they prove their courage and their personal worth, Zhang Xiao will certainly not be stingy in promoting them to 'his own people'.
Moreover, they have proven their worth and will be recognized by the Bedouins.
That's the main thing.
And those who can't prove their worth, sorry, then they can only be slaves for the rest of their lives.
Although this approach is a bit cold-blooded and cruel, it is the most suitable way at this time.
At the same time, in the process of proving their worth, they can also gradually identify with the whole group, until they are unconsciously brainwashed by the influence.
Therefore, the process of going from slaves to 'own people', that is, free tribesmen, can also be regarded as a brainwashing process.
At that time, Zhang Xiao didn't have to worry about their loyalty.
It's a win-win-win-
Besides, if you can use money to make these people comply, then why bother with yourself.
Hey!
It's good to be rich!
Every time I think of this, Zhang Xiao will be very happy. (To be continued......)
