The connection with the Western Regions was much faster than Shen Bing imagined.
While Shen Bing was still discussing with Yun Xing how to build a silk workshop in Wuyuan and organize a caravan to the Western Regions, he broke in and knelt down despite the obstruction of his personal guards:
"General, please ask the general to save our tribe!"
Chen Bing's puzzled question:
"Your tribe? Are you talking about the Gaoche people?"
"How can we save your tribe members?"
Answer:
"The general, the subordinate clan is called Pulei, and is located in the east of Baishan..."
"Just just now, my subordinates met several tribe members among the slaves, and they realized that our tribe was defeated by the Huns several times, and they were running around and unable to make a home."
It turned out that when he was sheltering slaves in the city, he was recognized by those tribe members, and after asking, he learned about these things.
He was impatient and kept asking for the soldiers.
Chen Bing was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
After thinking about it, I asked:
"Is your army in the Western Regions?"
He looked confused:
"I don't know where the Western Regions are, so I don't know if my troops are in the Western Regions, but they are indeed in the west."
Chen Bing placed the map in front of him again and said:
"Can you point out where your department is?"
After looking on the map for a long time, I was not sure that I went west from the Yellow River... The road leading to the Western Regions is actually not just the Hexi Corridor.
The other road is the business road called the "Grassland Silk Road" in the Jiuyuan area.
However, this road is to enter the hinterland of the Huns and walk from the grassland. Although the distance is short and easy to move, the Huns and the Central Plains have been enemies since ancient times, so they are usually controlled by the Huns... The Huns, Mongolia and other nomadic peoples through this Silk Road to " Buying and selling with barter”.
Then he specified a little and said:
"It's probably here!"
When Chen Bing saw the position where he was pointing, he was actually the Western Regions... Chen Bing had always wanted to contact the Western Regions people, but he didn't expect that there was one around him all the time.
This Puli should be one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
However, the Central Plains did not know the Western Regions at this time, and as a member of the Western Regions, he did not know that he was the Western Regions... Everyone called him Gaocheren, so they did not discover it until now.
Chen Bing asked immediately:
"How many people do you have in your tribe?"
Answer:
"When I left, there were more than ten thousand households and tens of thousands of people, and I don't know how many there are at this time."
As he said, sadness came from his heart, and said sadly:
"Central asked the general to send reinforcements, and his subordinates would go through fire and water and die!"
Chen Bing replied:
"Do you know that the journey to the Western Regions is long?"
Answer:
"The subordinates know."
Chen Bing asked again:
"Do you know what's the difficulty if I send troops to the Western Regions?"
After thinking about it, he said:
"Is the general worried about the lack of troops in the North?"
Chen Bing shook his head:
"The war in the north has come to an end. In the future, the three counties in Wuyuan, Jiuyuan and Yunzhong echo each other. The Huns are afraid that they will not dare to invade for a while."
Ye said again:
"Is the general worried... unable to defeat the Huns?"
Chen Bing shook his head again:
"Although our troops are less than half of the Huns, we have never been defeated. How could we be afraid of the Huns?"
Weiqi said:
"What the general is worried about is..."
Chen Bing asked back:
"Do your family have enough food?"
He sighed and replied:
"Our tribe was robbed several times by the Huns, but I'm afraid it's impossible to cover my stomach."
Chen Bing asked again:
"Can your department know how to farm and grow grain?"
He shook his head again:
"My minister makes a living by hunting for many years and never garrisons the fields."
Chen Bing said:
"In this way, if we send more than 10,000 troops to reinforce your clan, how can we make a living?"
Then he suddenly realized and replied in distress:
"What the General said is very much."
"If reinforcements are rashly, not only will it not be able to save our clan from the fire and water, but it will instead harm the Qin army."
The truth is obvious.
This is not a matter of military strength or combat effectiveness, but a matter of food, equipment, clothing and other issues for more than 10,000 people.
Although the Northern Army can have enough food, clothing, food and clothing in the Northern Land, it is because the Shen soldiers operate in the Northern Land.
It would be another matter if the army left the north and went to the Western Regions.
It’s not that I don’t understand these principles, but I just ignore all these issues when I’m anxious.
Then he said anxiously:
"What should I do? We can't travel thousands of miles to the Western Regions to transport grain!"
"Then my tribe members are not..."
He sighed as he said that.
It is definitely not possible to transport grain. This is mostly mountain road to the Western Regions. In addition, the journey is long and you have to worry about the bandits... You will have to transport one bag of grain but consume two bags of grain on the road.
But it is not impossible.
Chen Bing comforted:
"The lieutenant doesn't have to worry too much."
"It is reported that your clan has no place to live at this time, so why not move it to the north to fight against the Huns with me?"
Upon hearing this, Hu couldn't help but widen his eyes:
"The general's intention is that the northern part of the country is willing to accept our tribe?"
Chen Bing replied:
"certainly!"
"Not only do you want to accept your tribe, but others who are forced by the Huns have nowhere to go, and those who are willing to come to the north can come here as long as possible."
Chen Bing took this opportunity to make another wave of advertisements:
"The captain also knows the situation in the north."
"The people who moved from the Western Regions to this place are willing to graze grasslands, and those who are willing to join the ranks will join the ranks, or they can also work with us."
"What do the lieutenant think?"
Was stunned.
This is not because the north is not good, but he feels that the north is like a paradise.
Because in just a few months, hundreds of thousands of people in the north have no worries about food and clothing.
If there is any disadvantage, it is that wars with the Huns were extremely frequent.
But the point is that at this time the Qin army had defeated the Huns and was predictably becoming stronger and stronger.
Therefore, the North can be said to be a rare paradise. If you have the opportunity to come here, how can you be unwilling to do so?
Chen Bing added another sentence:
"In the future, when our troops are strong and our horses are strong and our food is sufficient, we will definitely develop in the Western Regions."
"At that time, it's okay for you to return to your hometown and restore your country."
So I had something to think about, so I was so moved that I knocked heavily:
"Thank you for your kindness, General."
Shen Bing hurriedly helped Yu up.
This is not really a great favor, but mutual benefit.
And Shen Bing has planned it.
Not all the people in the Western Regions were nomadic. They also had many crops, but the military farming and irrigation technology were backward and the yield was not high.
Therefore, after the Han Dynasty recovered the troops stationed in the Western Regions, it faced a serious problem: insufficient food and grass must be transported from the Central Plains, so it consumed a lot of manpower and material resources.
The solution to this problem is to farm in the Western Regions and bring the advanced military farming and irrigation technologies in the Central Plains to the local people.
When the local people are rich, the troops can obtain more military rations in the local area, and the troops will also participate in the military farming and harvest some of them... So there is enough military rations to be self-sufficient.
At this time, the Shen soldiers recruited soldiers from the Western Regions, not only using them to supplement the cavalry, but also preparing for their future entry into the Western Regions.
