Chen Bing lived in a small tent next to the Yuezhi King.
This is nothing to Chen Bing. Anyway, they are all tents, and there are people to accept them anyway. What's the difference between a little bigger and a little smaller?
However, Qiu Ju was dissatisfied and immediately ordered his servant to prepare a larger tent for Chen Bing, and also brought a lot of wine and food...
The food was nothing more than roasted lamb, but this wine made Chen Bing very comfortable.
It is said that wine originated in the Waggoso region, and then spread to Central Asia and to the Western Regions.
Because the Western Regions are rich in grapes, they have developed the habit of brewing.
This wine is much better than the Hunjiu in Zhongyuan. Chen Bing couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, then grabbed the roast lamb legs and ate a few bites... While enjoying the fragrance of the mouth and the overflowing corners of his mouth with satisfaction The oily sauce was so painful to sigh in my heart that the gods were just like this.
At this time, Wang Ben hurried into the tent, with a little anger on his face and said:
"General, this Shazhou was fought with our lives."
"It would be fine if you don't become the Yuezhi King, how can you return the Yuezhi King to the Yuezhi people..."
"If this Qiu rebelled one day, wouldn't it be useless for me to wait for this trouble?"
Chen Bing had known that Wang Ben would ask this long ago. If it weren't for Chen Bing's stopping, Wang Ben would have been afraid that he would have jumped out to object when he was crowned king in Qiu.
Chen Bing did not answer. He signaled Wang Ben to sit down opposite him and poured him a glass of wine, asking:
"The captain thought, what would happen if I was crowned king in Yuezhi?"
Wang Ben thought about it and said:
"Is the general worried about Xianyang?"
"But at this time, we were helpless in the Western Regions to control Shazhou..."
Chen Bing shook his head and replied:
“It’s not just Xianyang.”
"We are not the Yuezhi people. If we become kings, how could the Yuezhi people be convinced?"
"If the people of Yuezhi are not convinced, how could they be willing to be influenced by my soldiers?"
"If Shen Bing is unwilling to be in charge of being in charge of Shen Bing's orders, how can Shen Bing be king?"
Wang Ben disagreed:
"If they are dissatisfied or dare not accept the order, they will be ruled by law!"
Wang Ben was born into a Legalist. He thought that after becoming king, he only needed to formulate a set of laws like Qin State, and then let the soldiers strictly enforce this set of laws. It won’t take long for these "troubled people" to be convinced.
Wang Ben's set may be applicable in the Central Plains.
In fact, this was what the Qin army did when conquering the Central Plains countries, and it was quite effective.
The problem is that the Central Plains countries are the same nation and the same culture have a sense of identity with each other.
However, the Yuezhi is a different ethnic group and the aristocratic forces are still deeply rooted in it and it is difficult to eradicate them. For example, Qiu is a nobleman, and there are a large number of noble officers among all the Yuezhi prisoners... Some of these officers are not He was willing to surrender and was killed by the soldiers, but most of them chose to surrender.
For these nobles, should we kill or not?
Kill it!
You must know that these nobles were officers at the same time, and only they were educated to command and fight.
Kill them all in one breath, and the army will be in no way commanded, and the combat effectiveness will be reduced by half or even more immediately, and it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time.
Don't kill it!
These nobles held military power. If Shen Bing became their king and were not recognized by them, they might be "cracked" by them one day.
More importantly...
Shen Bing said to Wang Ben:
"The lieutenant should know that our enemies in the Western Regions are not just the Yuezhi country."
Wang Ben nodded:
"It is reported that there are as many as thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. If each of them is like the Yuezhi, it is of great strength!"
Chen Bing smiled.
This is Wang Ben's gaze on the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
Many of these countries actually have only a few thousand soldiers like Pulei, and even a few hundred soldiers. For example, the Duwei State of Cheshi has only 40 families, 333 people and 84 soldiers.
But of course Chen Bing would not say this, otherwise he would be asked how he knew it as soon as he said it.
Chen Bing raised his glass toast Wang Ben, and continued:
"The lieutenant must know that the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are staring at what we are waiting for."
"If we take the high-pressure law and politics as our own, then how will the thirty-six countries view the Qin army?"
"Will these thirty-six countries choose the Huns or our army?"
Wang Ben couldn't help but say "Oh", nodded and said:
"What the General said is very true."
"If we forcefully take Yuezhi as our own, the thirty-six countries will regard us as tigers and wolves."
"So he will not only not help me fight against the Huns, but will form an alliance with the Huns like Yuezhi."
Chen Bing nodded and said:
"So we should not be king easily."
"On the contrary, if we give up the throne..."
"This will not only make the Yuezhi King grateful, but also attract the hearts of the people of the thirty-six countries."
"Do you agree?"
Wang Ben bowed:
"The general is careful and I admire him."
This is beyond doubt.
Although Qin had institutional advantages over the Yuezhi and even the thirty-six countries... As mentioned before, Qin was semi-feudal and semi-slavery, while the Western Regions were slavery.
The ordinary people in the Western Regions must be more willing to become the people of Qin and support Qin law.
The problem is that at this time, the people are not well educated and have not high ideological awareness, and are easily deceived and deceived.
In other words, the people of the Western Regions were actually under the control of the nobles.
In such a society, there is actually a contradiction of "education right":
If the right to education is decentralized, the people will become smarter and think, and if they have their own ideas, they will not be willing to become slaves and be oppressed by others, so the nobles will be unable to control them.
If the right to education is not decentralized, the people will be more stupid and easier to control, but the country and society will not be able to make progress.
Therefore, it is actually very simple to see whether a country and society are progressing or backward in modern society. It depends on whether there is a universal education.
Not to mention ancient times, even modern society still has similar problems:
In order to better enslave low castes, the high castes and aristocratic classes must keep the people in a state of ignorance, so no one really cares about the high illiteracy rate, and no one solves this not difficult problem.
In turn, the illiteracy rate of more than 50% limits the development of the country.
So the entire society entered a vicious cycle that could almost be said to be unsolvable.
These problems are impossible to solve them by themselves because they have the "world's largest democratic country" and will automatically become better.
What’s ridiculous is that such a backward, feudal country and society are actually the “model” that the West claims to be…
At this time, Chen Bing was facing a bunch of such countries, that is, countries controlled by the aristocratic class, brainwashed and deceived the people.
So, want to gain benefits from it.
The first thing Shen Bing had to consider was of course not ordinary people, but the nobles who controlled the people.
