If there is no threat from the Xiongnu in Qiuci, then Shen Bing only needs to give up one or two small oases to serve as a bridgehead for the Xiongnu, such as Qitai or Guyu.
Qiuci and the countries in the Western Regions are definitely not willing to let Shen Bing do this, because it is very easy for the Qin army but will cause great harm to the countries in the Western Regions. Therefore, as long as Shen Bing expresses his intention in this regard... this issue will not No more questions.
The second and third points are actually issues of trust.
That is to say, they are worried that the Qin army will be like the Xiongnu.
Although the Qin army seemed to only want to do business with various countries in the Western Regions at this time, who knows whether it was just superficial?
This aspect is difficult to solve, and Shen Bing believes that this is not just a trust issue... allowing countries to send troops also touches on the interests of the nobility.
For example, how many troops should be sent?
How much supplies are needed?
How much equipment is left?
If the nobles of various countries were responsible for all this, it would be a huge sum of money.
Shen Bing compared the Han Dynasty and believed that the reason why the Han Dynasty made the countries in the Western Regions obedient and even sent troops to besiege Qiuci was because Li Guangli fought all the way through Dawan when he was on an expedition... with 30,000 troops, he marched all the way. Countries want water, food, and livestock, and if they don't give them, they will fight.
In this way, the countries in the Western Regions will have a first-hand understanding of the strength of the Han army, and they will be able to mobilize all countries to form a coalition.
So sometimes people can't be too kind, just like the diplomatic method commonly used by modern Americans: a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other. If the carrot doesn't work, use the stick.
When Shen Bing was worried about this, Ren came into the account and reported:
"General, Loulan mutiny."
Shen Bing was startled and said unexpectedly:
"What a good Loulan, how dare you rebel at this time?"
No wonder Shen Bing was surprised.
At this time, the Qin army had just defeated the Xiongnu and was at its peak. What's more, the Qin army still had thousands of troops in Loulan and there was a "Loulan Protector" beside King Loulan. This "Loulan Protector" also had "Blooming Flowers" in his hands. bomb".
This King of Loulan is so courageous that he dares to rebel at this time.
I don’t want Ren to explain:
"General, Loulan is not rebelling, but rebelling against King Loulan!"
Shen Bing couldn't help but wonder:
"Rebel King Loulan?"
Ren nodded and said:
"Exactly."
"The soldiers and people of Loulan wanted to join the Qin army, but the nobles of Loulan refused, so the soldiers and people gathered together to attack..."
After saying this, Shen Bing understood.
It turns out that this is related to Shen Bing's previous wave of mental attacks on his aunt.
At that time, a thousand Loulan cavalry witnessed the whole process. After they returned, they told the Loulan army and people what the Qin army had done.
On the other hand, batches of Qin troops stationed in Loulan brought countless wealth and technology...the wealth was the carts of silk brought by the military merchants, while the technology was mainly military and agricultural.
In fact, what is more important is the superiority of the system.
With the influx of Qin troops and Yuezhi merchants, the exchanges between Qin troops and Loulan increased exponentially.
Among them, Yuezhi merchants play the role of translators and blessings... Many Yuezhi merchants can speak the Central Plains dialect. In order to show that they are well-informed and follow the right people, they will inevitably talk about the Qin Dynasty when translating and communicating with Loulan soldiers and civilians. The treatment of the military is enhanced by being powerful and wealthy.
This is actually a normal phenomenon.
Because if the Qin army is said to be weak, does that mean that the Yueshi, who were defeated by the Qin army with a small number and suffered a complete defeat, are even weaker?
If the Qin army is said to be very bad, then will the Yueshi who are now under the rule of the Qin army be even worse?
Among them, the Qin Army's Twenty Military Merit System... as long as you perform meritorious service on the battlefield, you can be promoted to a noble rank and receive land. This is something that the slave-owning soldiers and civilians of Loulan dare not even think about.
Therefore, the soldiers and civilians of Loulan demanded to be merged into the Qin Army, or even if they were not merged into the Qin Army, Loulan would also implement the same system as the Qin Army.
King Loulan and the nobles were not willing to agree to this suggestion that obviously touched their interests, so a conflict broke out.
If King Loulan rebels, it will be easy to solve. The Qin army can solve it in a few times.
But now the people of Loulan are rebelling against King Loulan because they want to surrender to the Qin Dynasty... This makes the "Loulan Protector" Zhang Ke don't know how to deal with it, so he hurriedly sent a letter to Shen Bing for instructions.
This matter is actually very difficult for Shen Bing.
First of all, it is normal for Loulan soldiers and civilians to spontaneously merge into the Qin army, and it is also extremely beneficial to the Qin army.
Because "people go to higher places and water flows to lower places", the people, especially the people who are slaves, have a very simple demand, that is, to get a better life.
The system and technology of the Qin Army can give them a better life, so of course they prefer the Qin Army.
With the precedent of Loulan, I am afraid that my uncle will follow suit, and after my uncle there will be Qiemo, Wushuang, Xiuxun, etc.
At that time, it will no longer be a matter of forming a coalition army, but of recruiting troops directly from the people of the Western Regions.
But this is also a double-edged sword that also has a negative impact on the Qin army...
Currently, among the thirty-six countries in the Western Region, only Loulan and Gushi are under the actual control of the Qin army. The other thirty-four countries are all watching Loulan and Gushi to see what will happen to them.
If the nobles of Lou Lan and Gu Shi live well and do not suffer much loss in their interests, then these thirty-four countries will feel free to form an alliance with the Qin army.
If Loulan and Gu Shi's nobles were overthrown and uprooted by their own people because of their contact with the Qin army... then which country would dare to form an alliance with the Qin army?
Let alone forming an alliance, I'm afraid we won't even dare to contact them.
Because once they come into contact, the soldiers and civilians who are in a state of slavery will know the system of the Qin army, so they will have the intention to merge with the Qin state and rebel against the nobles.
There is no need to think too much next. They don't even dare to let merchants into the city, and the Silk Road will be cut off.
Shen Bing knew that the situation was serious, so he didn't think much about it. After leaving the affairs of his aunt to Wang Ben, he took his lair and more than a hundred personal guards and rushed towards Loulan.
Only Shen Bing can handle this matter properly.
Auntie was more than 500 miles away from Loulan. Shen Bing and his party rushed to their destination in more than three days.
There was not much chaos in Loulan City. Wang He's 7,000 reinforcements were stationed outside the city and were waiting, and Zhang Ke's 1,000 "Loulan Guard Army" were inside the city. It could be said that the entire situation was firmly under control.
The soldiers and civilians in the city surrounded the "Imperial Palace" with swords, guns, sticks and farm tools. If it weren't for Zhang Ke and his "Loulan Army" guarding the palace, King Loulan and all the nobles would have been dragged out and cut into pieces by the soldiers and civilians. .
As soon as Shen Bing and his party entered Loulan through the city gate on horseback, the people of Loulan rushed up with weapons in hand and cheers.
Ren hurriedly led his personal guards into two teams to isolate the people. Each of them had their swords out of their sheaths and their shields in their hands as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
The worries of the guards were unnecessary. The people of Loulan did not do this to harm Shen Bing, but because they did not understand the etiquette of the Central Plains and were accustomed to cheering with equipment in hand.
