I was stunned yesterday, I'm so sorry!

There are already brothers who have come to the scene, and the ancient one is very powerful, and he is directly the leader of the alliance, thank you very much to him!

……………………

Individual strength is not good, overall strength is not good, and even the national strength is weak in an all-round way, Qiuzi's resistance seems a bit like a joke, they began to face up to their own weakness, and the Tai clan made a 180-degree turn.

"We will send the crown prince to the southern tomb of the empire, and the sons of the nobles of the country will also go with the prince." With a sincere look on his face, Sinksu continued: "We will also send a team of intellectuals to study in the Empire. ”

There is no shame in learning from the strong when the weak are weak, what we are afraid of is that the weak side does not realize its weakness and dies again and again.

The nobles of the Guizi were well aware that they had offended the Empire...... At least it offended some of the officers of the Empire, who thought that they should make amends immediately, immediately, and quickly. They sent a large number of cattle, sheep and wine to the imperial camp that night, and even sent a group of women, Xin Kesu thought about it later, and did not let Shansu go, it was he who went to the imperial camp himself.

In the face of Xin Kesu's submission posture, Shen Tujia looked like a matter of course.

In fact, it is really natural for Qiuzi to succumb, because the empire did not show a posture that must be destroyed Qiuzi, and when everything is still redeemed, knowing that it is difficult for Qiuzi to survive when the imperial army is opened, then of course it is necessary to use a gesture of submission to win the favor of the empire.

"You can represent King Guizi?" There was no joyful expression on Shen Tujia's face, a little formulaic, and said, "It's best to let King Qiuzi endorse it." ”

"Our king will personally go to the territory of Wusun to ask for a meeting with General He." Xin Kesu still had a sincere face, and he didn't show any anger because of the coldness shown by Shen Tujia. He said: "On behalf of the nobles of the southern part of the country, I can assure the general that at least the south of the country is willing to accept the good intentions of the Empire. ”

"Good." A slight smile appeared on Shen Tujia's face.

Xinkesu can represent the nobility of the southern part of Qiuzi, and this sentence is quite artistic. In other words, even if King Qiuzi did not recognize the fact that the empire was powerful and wanted to go to war with the empire. Sinksu will not be stupid to follow in the footsteps of King Guizi, he will choose to side with the Empire.

"We have about 10 days." Shen Tujia asked people to push the shelves hanging the pictures of mountains and rivers over. He walked over and stood next to the map of the mountains and rivers, pointed to a certain place, and said, "The Maodun Xiongnu have been plundering here recently, but the rest of the troops are retreating here. ”

Xin Kesu's eyes stared at the hanging military map, and he was extremely surprised how the map of mountains and rivers could be so detailed, even more detailed than some maps of local forces in the Western Regions. He shifted his gaze from the mountains and rivers to Shen Tujia, and asked slightly confused, "What do you mean?" ”

"Your military system is not good, and there are fatal holes in the chain of command." Shen Tujia was telling a fact, he said, "Since you are willing to cooperate with the actions of the imperial army. Then we have an obligation to help you improve the military structure. ”

Sinkesu nodded in surprise and said, "Yes, yes, our army is more chaotic. After a pause, he hesitated slightly, and asked, "What does the general mean?" ”

"In the future, we will fight side by side, and we hope that your military system can learn from the system of the empire and adopt the same establishment as the empire." Shen Tujia smiled. He said: "A city-state or kingdom that is willing to fight with the Imperial Army will be reorganized into a legion, a division, a colonel, and a song according to the number of people...... or tun, team and so on. ”

Xinkesu's face changed, and with obvious resistance, he asked, "What do you mean?" Want to be broken up and reorganized? ”

How could Shen Tujia not hear Xin Kesu's resistance? He laughed a few times and said heartily: "That's a necessary process, otherwise even if it's reorganized, it will be a change of soup and not a change of medicine." ”

"This ......" Sinksu was really very resistant, thinking to himself, "Shuffle and remake." It is estimated that many city-states or kingdoms are still in chaos and reorganized, so that the soldiers do not know the generals and the soldiers. Is this an attempt by the empire to weaken the actual control of the armies of various countries through reorganization? ”

"If the 40,000 troops promised by Qiuzi come over, you can serve as the lieutenant general of one of the legions." Shen Tujia was a little stunned when he saw Xin Kesu. Thinking that he didn't understand, he added: "It's the corps commander." ”

"I—I don't understand." Sinksu was surprised, no! It should be said that he was so surprised that the Imperial Language, which was already very non-standard, completely changed its tone: "Can I be the commander of a legion?" ”

"Yes!" Shen Tujia only understood Xin Kesu's question with a guess. He nodded very affirmatively: "In the other city-states or kingdoms, whoever of them has the most troops can serve as the commander of the lieutenant general of the other legion." ”

The surprise on Sinksu's face was for Qiuzi and for himself. He originally thought that the empire would completely deprive each city-state or kingdom of control over the army, but he didn't expect that he could still become the commander of a legion, and suddenly his heart was both happy and confused, and he really didn't know how to describe what kind of mood it was.

"Listen carefully, I understand, it's the Zhonglang general." Shen Tujia patted the stunned Xin Kesu on the shoulder with some kindness, and said, "I will be appointed by the Emperor, do you know what I mean?" ”

In fact, Xin Kesu didn't understand a little, and he looked at Shen Tujia with a slightly dull expression.

"In other words, your appointment was personally issued by His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, and the Empire recognized your official position." Shen Tujia looked at Xin Kesu, who was still stunned, with full deep meaning, and said, "You should feel honored. ”

I don't know if it's honored, but Sinkesu is a little dizzy from this pie at the moment. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and with full uncertainty, he asked, "In other words, the empire recognizes my official position, and my official position is also valid on the imperial side?" ”

"Hehehe." Shen Tujia narrowed his eyes and nodded: "It works, but to tell you frankly, how effective it is, it depends on how far you can do it." ”

Xinkesu understood that he, the commander of the army, could not command the army of the Immovable Empire at all, and only had a practical effect on the city-states and kingdoms of the Western Regions. If he shows full cooperation with the Empire, or even becomes a member of the Empire. If it is recognized by the imperial side, then it can be used to develop in the officialdom of the empire in the future.

A small official in a strong country is far more noble than a king in a weak country, and the place where Xin Kesu grew up is the Western Regions where there are many countries, and he knows very well the importance of the identity of a strong country official. If he had such an identity as an imperial general, he might become a more noble person than the king of Qiuci, after all, Qiuci was only a county for the empire...... Maybe not as good as a county in the Empire.

"I see!" Xinkesu took a deep breath and nodded violently: "No matter what the king's considerations are, the southern part of Qiuzi under my leadership will fully cooperate with the empire!" ”

Shen Tujia smiled happily when he saw that Xu Guan's promise had taken effect, and he said, "You won't regret your choice today. ”

Xin Kesu also smiled cheerfully, and only he knew what he had planned in his heart. He chatted with Shen Tujia for a while. Finally left.

As soon as Sinksu left, he walked out of the back tent. He said, "The general is a good means." ”

"It's not bad for Wusun, is it?" Shen Tujia sat down and said, "The original coalition of the Central Alliance can probably form the size of two legions, and they will contain the Maodun Division, and the threat in the south of Wusun should almost be lifted. ”

It was difficult to ponder, as if hesitating and hesitating, and couldn't help but ask, "The empire will attack this land, right?" ”

"Huh?" Shen Tujia was stunned for a moment, and then restrained his smile. He said in a deep voice: "Everything pays attention to efficiency, and there must be a return if you pay." From the great majesty of the empire to an ordinary commoner, what we want is how much we pay in return. and even get a lot of profits. ”

He had specifically learned about the newly established empire, and knew very well that what Shen Tujia said was not wrong at all, the empire was indeed a country that emphasized obligations and responsibilities. It is precisely because of this state habit that the emperor rules the state and controls rewards and punishments, and the official class is subject to the joint supervision of the emperor and the common people. Civilian struggle can change their status and improve their lives. The whole country is like a gradually perfecting machine, which has been turning its wheels and rolling forward, crushing the Baiyue in the south, crushing the tribes on the grassland, and now it is just a slight turn of the wheel and crushing to the Western Regions.

The posture of the empire is a running chariot, the wheels are "booming-booming-" turning, as the chariot controller of the emperor Lu Zhe is a very aggressive person, he also has a group of generals who can fight well, there are nearly three million soldiers in the country who are full of strength to forge ahead, who will feel frightened in the face of such a chariot.

"Wusun...... What profit can it bring to the empire? Nandou's voice was hoarse, like confusion and fear: "What will the empire do with Wusun in the future?" ”

"Prince, I'm just a general in the Imperial Army." Shen Tujia smiled dumbly and said, "There are hundreds of generals like me in the military. After a pause, he looked at the unfocused eyes quite seriously, and said slowly: "As far as I know, the empire has not decided what to do with Wusun, can the prince understand what I mean?" ”

His unfocused eyes gradually narrowed, and he nodded: "Yes, yes, you have been repeating that the empire has not yet decided what to do with Wusun. He nodded, but he was thinking in his heart: "Now Wusun needs assistance from the empire, and the empire needs Wusun to contain the northern tribes such as the Xiongnu, Hujie, Ding Ling, etc., but with the posture that the empire has always shown, I am afraid that it will annex Wusun in the end." ”

"Actually, according to my thoughts......" Shen Tujia said with a smile, "What will happen to Wusun in the end depends on your series of choices. ”

Unable to smile, he said to Shen Tujia with a little gratitude: "You are an upright general. ”

Shen Tujia didn't say much, whether he was honest or not depends on his position, he was a soldier of the empire, and now he could chat happily with Prince Wusun. If he was ordered to kill him, he would not hesitate to draw his sword and stab him to death with a sword.

"My father, he has spoken to me about something before." I don't know what Shen Tujia is thinking, he said: "I also agree with my father, we have a resolution, maybe the general can help with it?" ”

"Oh?" Shen Tujia found a place to sit down, ordered someone to clean up the tent, looked at the difficulty, and said: "If it is too big, the prince should probably find a deputy commander, and he can wait for the upcoming general Zhengxi to arrive?" ”

"The empire is willing to arm the rest of the city-states and kingdoms, and perhaps Wusun as well. We are willing to relinquish command of the army and obey the command of the Imperial military. We are even willing to completely learn the system of the empire and completely introduce the culture of the empire. ”

Shen Tujia raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word.

"The empire is very strong, very powerful." Repeating the two "powerful", he lowered his head and said, "Without the assistance of the Empire, I can imagine what kind of situation Wusun would be in now." There will be countless tribes in the north that will enter the territory, and Maudun in the south will continue to go north, and those Yue people in the country will riot, and some tribal leaders will also break away from Kunmo's control and stand on their own~. ”

It's hard to say that it's not bad at all, the slight difference is that the Xiongnu, Ding Ling, Hujie and other tribes did not invade Wusun at the beginning of the original history, it was those Yueshi people who originally took refuge in Wusun and united with the external Dayue clan to destroy Wusun, and in the process, many tribal leaders in Wusun really stood on their own~, and finally Wusun was divided and then perished.

Because of the emergence of the empire, the fate of Wusun has changed a new way, although there are still internal Yue clan and other tribe slaves are unstable, but because the empire shows a posture of supporting Bo Ximi and other royal families, many tribal leaders of Wusun see that the attitude of the empire does not show a tendency to stand on its own for the time being.

The empire is currently supporting the royal family with the surname Mi, but it is difficult to make it very clear that it is not necessary for the empire to support the royal family with the surname Mi, and if the empire can support the royal family with the surname Mi, it can support others, and what the empire needs is nothing more than a person who can play a role, and it doesn't matter who it is.

Liu Bang contacted many Wusun tribal leaders, but he was frightened by Liu Bang's actions before, and he thought that Liu Bang was instructed to find a replacement for the royal family surnamed Mi, and later found out that it was Liu Bang's private behavior, and then it was difficult to make a lot of promises to Liu Bang, and it also needed a lot of benefits, so that Liu Bang promised that he would not do anything else before getting instructions from the empire.

"Empire...... It is necessary for me to go to the empire in person. It was difficult to make up his mind in his heart, thinking: "Contact Your Majesty directly, and strive for Your Majesty's unswerving support for the royal family surnamed Mi." It's just that...... What is the price? (To be continued.) )
