Looking at the expression on Zhang Xiao's face, he didn't look like he was joking.

So, that means that what he said was from his heart, and he did make up his mind to do it.

With the 4,000 imperial army he brought, he fought against the three major tribes for the supremacy of the Cumans.

Of course, from Zhang Xiao's standpoint, it is understandable to do this.

After all, the Ottomans had transferred power over the Cuman region to the Song Empire. The Song Empire already had the right to rule the Cumans and was the legitimate ruler of the desert.

However, because of some promoters of the Ottomans, the three major tribes of the Cuman developed ambitions and coveted the ruling power of the Cumans, so the current situation in the Cuman Desert appeared.

The Song Empire, which had been able to peacefully accept the power of the Cumans, now had to use force to gain control of the area.

Because of the relationship between the three major tribes, the small and medium-sized tribes living in the Cuman region were integrated and annexed before the outbreak of the Great War, and now only the Bedouin tribes are united.

In other words, the three major tribes have taken the small and medium-sized tribes of the Cumans under their wings and ruled them, which has made their strength skyrocket in a short period of time.

Then, the three major tribes, which were originally very strong, were not so easy to fight against. Now when they become more powerful, they are even more unable to compete with them.

It is precisely for this reason that the Bedouins will consider avoiding the sharp edge of the three major tribes in front of Zhang Xiao, avoiding fighting with them and migrating to the Cairo Empire's concession to live again.

They made such a choice because they were forced to do so because of reality.

Life and death, faced with these two choices in front of you, as the leader of the tribe, you should obviously know what is right to choose.

For the sake of the tribesmen and for themselves, and in reality, it is only right to choose to quit and leave the Cuman.

How else could it be?

It's hard to really fight the three major tribes. And then let the entire tribe be wiped out by the other party?

No!

It is not right to do so.

Even if you want to be a hero, there is no reason for the entire tribe to follow you to death.

Besides, the leaders of these tribes are not heroes.

It can be said that such thoughts are not just a true portrayal of the hearts of one or a few tribal leaders. Basically, the thirteen tribal leaders united by the Bedouin tribes all had this idea.

That is, they are not very willing to fight against the three major tribes.

It's just that some people already want to move away from Cuman. And some people are still hesitating whether to choose to open it too, or to stay and see the situation.

After all, like the Bhargir tribe, the other tribes are reluctant to leave where their ancestors lived.

Because they feel sorry for their ancestors like this.

It would be nice if you could survive this turmoil without leaving Cuman.

Unfortunately, such an idea is just an extravagant hope after all, and it is simply impossible.

The three tribes would not allow the Bedouin tribes to unite at all, and they would not be able to keep them out of their control. Become the fourth force to exist zài.

"We certainly respect your choice. It's just that I have to tell you the truth, your troops are too small to compare with any of the three major tribes. Even on the part of the Tatanirs, who are the least populated. I can send an army of more than 10,000 people casually, so I don't think it's a very wise choice. ”

Chief Omar broke the dreary atmosphere and expressed his opinion to Zhang Xiao.

His expression was very sincere, and he also told an obvious truth. He hoped to impress Zhang Xiao and make him understand the gap between the enemy and him, so that he could give up such a decision.

But. Omar was destined to be disappointed.

Because he doesn't know anything about Zhang Xiao or the empire.

He would not have understood what kind of existence the empire really was. And as a member of the imperial army, how proud Zhang Xiao is.

Of course, this pride is not blind, nor is it blind.

Rather, it is built on the advantages of having sophisticated weapons, cross-era combat methods, and elite soldiers.

Moreover, the army of the empire has also experienced the trial of blood and fire, but they are not the kind of rookies who faint at the sight of blood. Coupled with sophisticated weapons, cross-era tactics and tactics, and insight beyond this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers of the Imperial Army are the most elite soldiers of this era.

In addition, the Imperial Army, which had the advantage of such a weapon as a musket, had many examples of fighting with one less hit. So even in the face of such a strong enemy as the three major tribes, Zhang Xiao certainly has his confidence.

You know, the establishment of the Song Empire was not so peaceful. And after the establishment of the Song Empire, the Chinese genes cultivated by Zhao Hongyu in the early days have all experienced the baptism of war.

Moreover, before Zhang Xiao entered Cumanist, he was also sent to Europe from the American mainland to help the French defend the border in southeastern France for more than a year in the early stage.

At that time, on the opposite side of the 8,000 Imperial Army, the enemy had a full 70,000 or 80,000 Holy Roman Empire troops.

In numbers, the Imperial Army had a considerable disadvantage.

But even so, this imperial army of only 8,000 men still blocked the attack of the Holy Roman Empire, held the southeastern border defense line of the French, and bought time for the French.

At that time, Zhang Xiao was also one of them, and experienced this war of about a year and a half to aid France.

Prior to that, he had also participated in the Spanish crusades against South America, as well as the strangulation of the natives of South America, and it can be said that he had a lot of combat experience, as well as experience in commanding battles.

Earlier, he had even fought in wars against the British and Iroquois Indians after the establishment of the Song Empire.

After all, Zhang Xiao was one of the genetic people cultivated by Zhao Hongyu in the early days, which is why he participated in so many battles. It's just that Zhang Xiao has a small shortcoming, so every time he becomes a military commander, he will be removed and replaced as a soldier at the grassroots level.

Although he was a gene person who had been cultivated in the early batches, his current status and title were the lowest.

on this. Zhang Xiao doesn't care.

However, it is precisely because of these experiences that he has rich experience in combat and command, especially in small regiments of less than 10,000 people.

Therefore, even if the opponent is the three powerful tribes, Zhang Xiao is not stunned at all.

There is nothing wrong with the three tribes being strong, but the tactics of the three tribes are backward and they are still in the era of cold weapons. Even if they have an absolute advantage in numbers, it is not necessarily impossible for their side to defeat them if they compare their overall strength.

As long as the tactics and plans are used properly, then defeating the three major tribes will not be empty talk, even if they have a great disadvantage in terms of troops. But it is also possible to achieve the ultimate victory.

For this aspect, Zhang Xiao has a strong self-confidence.

However, for Zhang Xiao's self-confidence, Chief Omar and the others don't know. After all, they don't know much about the empire, and they can't know why Zhang Xiao is so confident.

Fariye, who was sitting beside Chief Omar, stared at Zhang Xiao with a proud and confident look in his eyes.

The little girl not only has a complicated expression on her face, but in fact, her heart is also very entangled.

To be honest, Faliye, who has a very boyish personality, is quite recognized by Zhang Xiao's choice to fight against the three major tribes.

Don't look at Liye as a girl. But because she was raised by her father as a boy since she was a child, she has a very boyish temperament, which is completely different from ordinary girls.

In Farier's opinion, she appreciates Zhang Xiao's choice very much. I also agree with it very much.

Yes, the Bedouins are proud, and their ancestors have demonstrated their fame and honor by their bravery. But now, the Bedouins are still shrouded in the aura of honor left by their ancestors. But in fact, it has gone downhill.

If this continues, the Bedouins will be useless.

Even in the face of powerful enemies, the ancestors were brave and never flinched.

But look at the present. No one has such courage anymore.

Farier was very saddened and disappointed by this.

But now, she saw these precious things in Zhang Xiao's body.

So, she appreciated it very much.

However, Farier did not deny that Zhang Xiao did have a great disadvantage at the moment, and the number of imperial troops he brought was too small, only 4,000 people.

It is very easy for the three major tribes to stand up and come up with an army of fifty or sixty thousand.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao is really a fool's dream if he wants to confront the three major tribes with this bit of strength.

It is precisely because of this that while Fariah appreciates it, she also feels that he is a little unwise.

Of course, for Zhang Xiao's courage, Farier still recognized it very much at least at this time. Who made none of the elders at this time have the courage to confront the three major tribes.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao is the only man with such a rare value in Faliye's opinion.

"My decision to stay is my own decision, and I respect your decision to leave Cuman." , Zhang Xiao continued to say. "If you want to leave, I can write a letter to them, and when you get to the Cairo Concession, hand it over to the Governor, and the Governor will know how to help you."

Zhang Xiao's later words have made it very clear that he will not force everyone to stay and fight with him against the three major tribes, and when they choose to migrate to Cairo, he will provide some help.

This reassured the leaders a lot.

They were just worried that Zhang Xiao would force them to stay and fight against the three major tribes.

Outside the tent, the night began to fade gradually, and a trace of morning light appeared on the horizon. Unconsciously, Zhang Xiao and the leaders had been talking all night.

And, they have reached a preliminary agreement...... (To be continued......)
