Chapter 578: Extinguishing Kangju

Kangju royal court was lost.

The soldiers defending the city either dropped their weapons and surrendered, or were killed one after another, without the will and ability to resist, and the same was true for the reinforcements sent by Taiping Dao.

Since the Han army cannot be defeated, resistance is death, and surrender may still have a chance to live.

Facts have proved that they can really live if they surrender, Yang Zhao did not kill them directly, and is ready to bring these tens of thousands of troops back to Bingzhou to mine, and in the future, they will be engaged in infrastructure construction in Dahan, and all kinds of hard work and tiring work will be done by them, which can provide a lot of labor that does not need money.

Those who surrendered were soon contained in the city.

As the current king of Kangju, Sangar can only lead his relatives around him, as well as various guards, to abandon the city and flee, escape from the west gate, and want to go to Taiping Dao and fight back to take revenge.

They are certainly not reconciled and must come back for revenge.

But Yang Zhao didn't give them a chance to take revenge, and just escaped from the city, before he ran far, a loud sound of horses' hooves came from the side.

Light and heavy cavalry, plundering and killing.

Sangar asked him to protect himself and escape, but soon he didn't even have a chance to escape.

They were chased and intercepted by light and heavy cavalry.

Sangar's head was cut off by Tian Yu and brought back to Yang Zhao.

"Let's take it down and bury it."

Yang Zhao glanced at the head, and said: "The whole army obeyed the order, left some people to garrison, and then sent troops to attack other cities near the royal court, plundered all the food and property, and robbed almost enough before we went back." ”

fought all the way from Luoyang to Kangju, there were thousands of miles on the way, and if I didn't loot some things and go back, I was sorry for sending troops from a long distance this time.

After all, once you fight the West, the consumption is very large.

The following generals listened to the order, first rested near the royal court, and the next morning, they set out everywhere to attack the city and plunder the property, although Kangju was not as rich as the Han Dynasty, but there were many things that could be grabbed.

——

Peshawar is the capital of Kushan.

Sima Lang and Zhang Min still stayed in Guishuang and did not go back to the west, and at this time they had already received the news that Yang Zhao had destroyed Kangju.

"Yang Zhao's speed is really fast, his strength is really strong, he can fight wherever he wants." Sima Lang admired it very much, but he was worried, "Kangju and Wusun can only block Yang Zhao for a while, if he goes further west, he can break into Khorezm and Lite, and we can't stop it." ”

Khorezm and Rite were both areas conquered by the Kushans.

It is just to the west of Kangju, to the north of Kushan.

As long as the Han army fights out, it can smoothly enter the Parthian kingdom.

Zhang Min said confidently: "Yang Zhao will not fight again, from Yumen Pass, all the way to the Kangju Royal Court, the consumption is very large, and a huge amount of food preparation is required to maintain the westward advance." Coming to the Kangju Royal Court is almost his limit, and further to the west, the follow-up supplies can't keep up, which is a fatal blow. ”

If there is no need to fight in the Western Regions, and there is no need to fight Kangju and Wusun, Yang Zhao can also enter the Kushan Empire.

But all the way in, everything Yang Zhao prepared was almost consumed.

Taiping Dao is fighting with this idea.

Through such consumption, Yang Zhao happened to stop in Kangju, and he could also light a fire in Yang Zhao's backyard, so that Yang Zhao had to go back to extinguish the fire.

When the fire was extinguished, they would almost be able to take Rome and have the strength to compete with Yang Zhao.

It's all planned.

"Next, Yang Zhao will retreat."

Zhang Min said confidently: "Even if he doesn't want to retreat, he has to retreat." ”

Sima Lang sighed with emotion: "You Taiping Dao has a lot of calculations, even if you withdraw from the Great Han, the people who remain in the Great Han are not weak. ”

Zhang Min didn't think so, and said helplessly: "Our people in Dahan have been stared at by Yang Zhao's shadow all the time, and if they dare to raise their heads slightly, they may be held on, and every action has to be planned for a long time before it can be carried out." ”

He paused for a moment and sighed: "Yang Zhao's shadow has developed for so many years, pervasive and ubiquitous. ”

Sima Lang asked, "Can we go to the west?" ”

"Almost."

Zhang Min nodded and said, "After dealing with these things and ensuring that Yang Zhao really won't go west, we will go back to the west and fight Rome together." ”

——

The Han army attacked the city everywhere and plundered property within the Kangju area.

In the current Kangju, there is no army that is the opponent of the Han army, and it is completely swept and plundered.

Yang Zhao wants to defeat Kangju, even if there are still people who return to the country in the future, the foundation is almost destroyed, and when it is restored to its heyday, it will not be possible to do it in more than ten or twenty years.

The plunder is almost over.

The army sent out gradually retreated to the royal court.

As the last team of troops returned, Jia Xu suggested, "My lord, we can go back." ”

"I'll go back to Dahan tomorrow!"

Yang Zhao looked at what they had plundered, and said, "This expedition is a bumper harvest. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "These Kangju people are still quite rich, and they can basically make up for it once they plunder, and the military salary for our expedition is not bad." ”

Xun You said: "It's a pity! We still lost so many soldiers, and I suggest that the lord give priority to the families of our fallen soldiers with this part of the looted property. ”

Their pension policy has been paid.

As long as the families of the soldiers who died in the war can be identified, and there are still family members, they will be able to receive a considerable amount of bereavement benefits in the next five years, which will boost the morale of the army and stabilize and win over the people.

For so many years, it hasn't stopped.

"Gongda is right, just do what you think."

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "No matter how hard you work, you can't suffer our subordinate soldiers." ”

"The lord is wise!"

They said in unison.

After deciding where the plundered property went, they passed down the order to return to the Han Dynasty.

The next morning, the Han army packed up and left the Kangju royal court.

Left behind an almost empty city, and the isolated and helpless Kangju people.

Yang Zhao plundered all the grain reserves of their Kangju officials, but there was still some grain storage in the people's homes, as long as they did not encounter any disasters, ordinary people could still live, if they did, they could only resign themselves to fate.

Under such conditions, it is very difficult for Kangju to re-establish a new country.

After losing the binding force of the upper ruling class, Kangju will first enter the law of the jungle, the strong is the king, and those civil forces, or families, etc., will rise as soon as possible, fight each other, grab resources, and finally the winner will be the king.

These subsequent developments have little to do with Yang Zhao.

Let Dayan and them arrange for a group of soldiers to stay in the Green Mountains, and then gather the forces of small western countries such as Shache, Shule and Khotan, and defend against the Kangju people.

Yang Zhao recalled all the soldiers, went back from the southern front, and soon entered the Green Ridge, and also crossed the entire Western Regions, first to the Changshi Mansion, and finally returned to Yumen Pass.

This time the western expedition has come to an end for the time being, and it is unknown whether it will be fought again in the future.

It probably depends on whether Taiping Dao will mess around in the west again.
