After King Qiuci asked Shen Bing to sit down in front of the case, he slowly spread out the map on the case and said:

"I will not talk about the alliance first."

"If the Western Regions successfully form an alliance, this king wants to know how the general will conquer the Xiongnu?"

King Qiuci's words hit the point right away.

Some people like to do things step by step, but some people like to plan overall.

If you are just a soldier, perhaps you should choose the former.

But if it is a commander, it should be the latter.

For example, at this time, the Qin army has no plan to defeat the Xiongnu or even if the Qin army and the Western Regions can form a coalition army, it is impossible to defeat the Xiongnu... Then forming an alliance and forming a coalition army becomes meaningless and useless. It is better not to form an alliance and maintain the status quo .

However, Shen Bing was already well aware of this, and he pointed to the map and said:

"Our army should launch the offensive in two steps."

"The first step is mainly to attack, and the cavalry quickly penetrates to Yanran Mountain and Langjuxu Mountain in Mobei and occupies them..."

King Qiuci was taken aback by Shen Bing's words, and asked:

"Is this what the envoy meant, or what the general meant?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Of course it's what the general meant."

If it meant "messenger", I'm afraid King Qiuci would have vetoed it immediately.

But since it means "big general"... You must know that Shen Bing has led the Qin army to an almost impossible victory, so King Qiuci felt that it was necessary to continue the discussion.

Kucha frowned and said:

"Does the general know that no one is invincible to the Xiongnu cavalry on the grassland?"

Shen Bing nodded and replied:

"Naturally, this is also one of the reasons why the Qin army did not dare to attack the grassland rashly."

"That's why we need to form the Western Region Alliance."

King Kucha shook his head:

"Although the cavalry in the Western Regions are also good at riding and shooting, most of them are not good enough."

Shen Bing nodded sympathetically.

In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the cavalry of the Western Regions is indeed no worse than the cavalry of the Huns, especially the cavalry of the Western Regions grew up on the harsh terrain of the desert oasis. The cavalry and horses are more drought-tolerant and can endure hardships. With the sudden drop in stress, the horse's energy increases.

This is a bit like living on the plateau for a long time, and it is easier to start running in the plains, so plateau horses are the horses of good quality.

The problem with the cavalry in the Western Regions is that they have never seen a big scene and the pattern is too small.

This is determined by the oasis culture: an oasis is a city, and a city is a country.

As the largest country in the Western Regions, Qiuci is better. The remaining 36 countries have a few thousand cavalry, which is considered a lot, and there are hundreds of dozens...

Admittedly, it's not a lot to get these soldiers together.

Especially with the addition of the Yuezhi cavalry and the Shenwu Army and Pu Lei Army that the Qin Army has been working hard to expand, the whole army should have about [-] to [-] cavalry troops.

In terms of numbers, they are no less than the Huns cavalry.

But how to solve the problems of commanding operations and internal conflicts, especially "preserving oneself wisely"?

36 countries means that there are at least 36 troops, which means that a decision may have to take into account 36 interests...

Shen Bing also considered this question, so he said:

"So the 36 countries only send troops but not generals."

Kucha asked puzzledly:

"What does it mean to only send troops but not generals?"

"If you only send troops but not generals, who will command them?"

Shen Bing explained:

"Unified command of the Shenwu Army!"

"Split the Shenwu Army into coaches and assign them to each army for training."

"After integration, you can form an army."

This is actually the way Britain formed its colonial army in modern times.

For example, when it colonized India, there were problems similar to the Allied Forces of the Western Regions:

India was not a country before, but a region name, that is, the Indian subcontinent.

This continent was originally scattered with many ethnic groups and countries that did not belong to each other. After the British conquered these countries, they managed them in a unified manner.

At this time, the formation of the colonial army encountered the same difficulties as Shen Bing now:

How to combine these conflicting and even different habits and beliefs into an army with unified command and combat effectiveness?

The answer is that the officers at the command level are all British.

So the so-called "British Indian Army" appeared.

This is not only a question of British officers having more command experience, but also a question of Indian soldiers who are all grassroots soldiers, at most grassroots officers, regardless of their status, so it seems that everyone is "equal" and internal conflicts will not intensify.

This army did have good combat effectiveness on the battlefield. It defeated the Japanese army commanded by Renya Mutaguchi, and also landed in Africa to fight Rommel's German army.

Therefore, after India's independence, it considered itself the third most powerful country in the world.

As everyone knows, after the British officers were replaced by Indian officers... what this army lost was not only command experience, but more seriously, the intensification of internal conflicts made it look like a mess:

High castes do not need to make meritorious service to become military officers and show off at the top, while low castes work hard but can only be enslaved at the grassroots level, and the credits are taken by high caste officers... How can such an army fight?

In the same way, if the coalition forces of the Western Regions coalesce in this way, there will be no hope of victory.

Only under the training, leadership and command of the Qin army, can it be possible to unite and form combat effectiveness as directed by arms.

King Kucha nodded slightly and said:

"This method may be feasible, but how can the 36 countries surrender their military power with confidence?"

This is true, military power is the foundation of a country, if it is handed over, it will not even have anything to save life!

Shen Bing said:

"I will wait and ask him to surrender all his military power."

"You only need to hand over a part, and the spoils and benefits obtained from the expedition... will be distributed according to the number of troops sent."

"After returning from the expedition, the military power will be returned."

In this way, there are interests involved.

The more soldiers you send out, the more benefits you get.

The fewer soldiers you send out, the less benefits you get.

What's more, there is Qin Jun holding the formation...

If anyone doesn't hand over his military power, the Qin army can move to the next line.

What's more, the 36 countries in the Western Regions are all under the Qin army. Is there a difference between the right to send troops and the right not to send troops?

Can security be ensured without surrendering military power?

4 Fifty Chapters Reform

The only variable in this should be Kucha.

Because Qiuci not only has [-] soldiers and is the largest country in the Western Regions, it has been the largest country for a long time and has always maintained its influence on more than ten small countries around it.

The attitude of Qiuci almost determines the attitude of these small countries, and also determines the difficulty of implementing Shen Bing's plan.

This is also the main reason why Shen Bing attaches so much importance to Kucha.

Who would have thought that Qiuci, which is described as a country of daughters in "Journey to the West", would be able to control the situation.

After a moment of silence, King Kucha nodded and said:

"In this way, our army may be able to capture Yanran Mountain and Langjuxu Mountain."

"And then what?"

Shen Bing replied:

"The second step is to focus on defense!"

"The infantry of the Qin Army then rushed to two places to guard against the mountains."

"The Qin army was good at defending, but the Huns were not good at attacking and defending. In this way, the grassland was divided into two parts, the south and the north, and they could not reinforce each other."

"At this time, the Qin army located in Hetao went north and surrounded and wiped out the army of the Western Regions..."

"The Qin army defended the point and the Western Regions pursued it with the cavalry army. With the combination of attack and defense, the Xiongnu had no choice but to go far to Mobei."

This is actually the strategy of Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty, using cavalry to attack Langjuxu Mountain behind the Huns in a large depth.

Just a slightly different starting point:

Huo Qubing started from Juyan in the northeast of Suzhou (Jiuquan) to attack Langjuxu Mountain, while Shen Bing planned to use Gushi as his base.

King Kucha was very excited after hearing this plan:

"This plan is indeed feasible."

"The Xiongnu were mainly nomadic in the grasslands, and they never had any offensive or defensive battles."

"Therefore, there must be no defense and no fortifications at Yanran Mountain and Langjuxu Mountain."

"Once our army takes it...the Xiongnu will become the turtle in the urn!"

That's what Shen Bing said, and he was very happy that King Qiuci understood the core of this strategy.

However, after a while, King Kucha calmed down again and asked:

"I wonder what the messenger thinks of Loulan?"

Shen Bing asked back:

"Your Majesty is referring to the implementation of the [-]th Military Merit System in Loulan?"

King Kucha said "hmm":

"I don't know if Qin Jun supports it or opposes it?"

Shen Bing replied:

"The twenty military merit title system is the reward and punishment system used by the Qin army."

"As for whether to use Qiuci...that's up to the king."

Of course Shen Bing wanted to say that.

Because the [-] military title system is not just a simple reward and punishment system, it can even be said to be a sign or a dividing line between the slave society and the feudal society.

It is impossible for slaves and ordinary people in the slave society to own their own land, let alone be promoted to the same position as the nobles, and it is impossible to make more contributions.

The [-]th military merit title system broke these impossibilities and made it possible, thus marking its entry into a feudal society with a higher degree of freedom for the common people and more advanced production relations.

Entering the feudal society means that the status and interests of the old nobles will be threatened, including King Kucha.

It is not for nothing that King Kucha would consider this at this time.

If the Kucha Kingdom handed over military power...to be precise, part of the military power to the Qin army, and the Qin army implemented the military merit title system, then these soldiers would still be willing to fight after training and even fighting in the hands of the Qin army. Guijian back to Kucha?

Even if they are willing to come back... But it also means that it is impossible for Qiuci to block the news. What should we do when the soldiers and civilians of Qiuci rise up like Loulan to demand reform and implement the system of [-] military merit titles?

Shen Bing thought for a while and said:

"Subordinates have a few words, don't know whether to say it or not?"

King Qiuci said with a pale face:
