Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 949: Allied Forces of the Western Regions 1
Of course, there is no need for Gongsun Xu to discuss matters related to trade in person. As Zhang Fei said, Gongsun Xu's role is only to lead. Without Gongsun Xu's promise, how could these tribal leaders dare to do business with the Han army with confidence?Moreover, if Gongsun Xu wants to completely control the Western Regions, he must contact these tribal leaders. No matter what attitude these tribal leaders have towards him, Gongsun Xu must first take the attitude he should have.

In addition, there is another important thing to convene the leaders of the various tribes. Now the Western Regions are indeed under the control of the Han army, but the potential enemies will not stop there. To solve the future troubles, what Gongsun Xu has to do is Deter all enemies with a powerful force, and then sweep everything with a humbling momentum.

But if all wars require the Han army to take the lead, it will be a big burden for Gongsun Xu. Besides, this is the Western Region, where these Western Region tribes thrive. Although Gongsun Xu will also immigrate a lot The children of the Han family took root here, but should these tribes of the Western Regions also contribute to the stability and peace of the Western Regions?

For this reason, Gongsun Xu suggested that each tribe in the Western Regions should send people to form a coalition army of the Western Regions. Under the restraint of Gongsun Xu, they will receive training and equipment from the Han army, and fight on the battlefield to protect the peace of the Western Regions.

When Gongsun Xu made this suggestion at the beginning, many leaders thought that Gongsun Xu was trying to exploit them in a disguised form, and that if he formed an army, he would definitely have to select young men from all their tribes, which was difficult for these tribal leaders to accept.

But when Gongsun continued to say that the coalition forces of the Western Regions would be selected from the captives of various tribes in the Western Regions that had been captured before, they breathed a sigh of relief.Gongsun Xu did not open his mouth like a lion, which was the best thing for them. Before, these tribes were more or less in collusion with Anxi, and even formed a relatively large army to resist the Han army. With the defeat of the Anxi army, the soldiers and horses of these Western Region tribes did not last long. In the end, most of them were besieged by Gongsun Xu's army, and then forced to land these troops.

These captives add up to more than [-] people. Gongsun Xu certainly does not need so many troops. Besides, there are many old and weak prisoners. This does not meet the requirements of the Han army for selecting soldiers. Therefore, Gongsun Xu must eliminate them. Some of them were unqualified captives. In addition, in order to show his generosity, Gongsun Xu called on the young and strong in the tribe who were willing to join the army to sign up. It was the responsibility of every young and strong to form the Western Region Alliance.

"Everyone, we had a very happy conversation today." Gongsun Xu looked at everyone with a smile and said, "I believe that all of you leaders who have come here are sincere and confident in running the Western Regions well. I will work with you, Let’s work together to create a prosperous and stable Western Region, and the formation of the Western Region Alliance will start soon, and I hope you will give your full support.”

After some discussion, these leaders raised some questions, such as the treatment of soldiers, what kind of warfare they will engage in, etc. In addition, some leaders with ulterior motives also asked whether the children of tribal nobles could take important positions in the army. , these leaders are not stupid, they also hope to control this army.

It's a pity that what they met was Gongsun Xu. If this army was controlled by the leaders of the Western Regions, then there would be no need for Gongsun Xu to stay in the Western Regions. Even the issue of military power could not be resolved. Why is Gongsun Xu still staying here? .

"You may not know the system of the Han army." Gongsun Xu explained: "I will arrange someone to explain it to you later. In short, I can assure you that this army exists for the peace of the Western Regions. When foreign enemies invade, they will take up arms to protect their homeland."

Gongsun Xu has said so, these leaders naturally have no intention of objecting, moreover, those soldiers who were captured were originally going to be punished, no one will be kind to their enemies, these leaders living in the land of the Western Regions Knowing this, if other tribes attack them and fail and capture a large number of soldiers, they will certainly not want to let them go in vain. They either kill them all or serve them as slaves. This is the rule of the Western Regions.Therefore, when Gongsun Xu said that he would select elites from these captives to form an army, they were relieved.

Many people planned to use money or cattle, sheep and horses to exchange for the young and strong of their own tribe. This is also the rule of the Western Regions. In their view, slaves are no different from cattle, sheep and horses. If they can, they are willing to redeem themselves Tribal warriors.

After the meeting, Gongsun Xu sent people to resettle the leaders. The specific details will definitely need to be negotiated slowly. Gongsun Xu has plenty of time, but now, what Gongsun Xu has to do is to form a coalition of Western Regions.

"What do you think about the formation of the coalition?" In the big tent, Gongsun Xu and his generals gathered together to discuss the formation of the coalition. Gongsun Xu looked at the crowd and said, "The next battle in the Western Regions will certainly not It may only be settled by our army, we need a mercenary army, or we can use the local poor people to form an army and let them become sharp knives in our hands to maintain the stability of the Silk Road."

"His Highness's plan must be good." Zhao Yun cupped his hands and said, "It's just that these captives come from different tribes, have different beliefs, different eating habits, etc., and there may be hatred between them. The coalition forces, I am afraid the difficulty is not small."

"The old method is to eliminate the old and weak, select the elite, and conduct intensive training according to our army's training methods." Gongsun Xu said: "The vast majority of these captives are from the bottom of their tribe. For them, to feed themselves and feed them The family is the most important thing, if their leaders can no longer support them, but our army can, do you think we have a chance to fully control this army?"

"It shouldn't be difficult." Wen Chou replied: "When I was living on the grasslands in the past, I also captured prisoners from different tribes, and the army formed in the end was also very cohesive. After binding their interests with the interests of our army, They will gradually integrate into our army."

"Yes, this is what I want." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "The fusion power of our army is an important weapon for us to control the Western Regions. This matter must be implemented as soon as possible. Eighty thousand elites can be selected from the more than one hundred thousand captives. Even if it’s not bad, my request is that it’s better to be short than to be indiscriminate.

Zilong is in charge of this matter, assisted by Bujun, Yide, and Gongming. In addition, Zixiao, Yuanrang, and Miaocai, you should also participate. In the future, there may be your subordinates in this coalition army. "

"Us? Your Highness,,,,,," Cao Ren looked at Gongsun Xu in disbelief and asked, "Your Highness wants us to serve as generals in the coalition?"

"It's not just you, Zixiu, Boquan, Zhongquan, Boren, etc. You all have the possibility to join the coalition army. I hope you will perform well. In the future, you will lead this army to fight against the enemy. "

"The last general is waiting, thank you Your Highness,,,,,,,"
