In late June of the first year of Xingyuan, all five cities of Kangju fell, and there were countless princes and nobles who were captured.

But King Kangju and his important officials have not been captured yet.

According to the instructions of these arrested people, King Kangju left the city a few days ago and ran towards the vast grassland northwest.

King Kangju was afraid and felt that this battle could not be fought at all.

His citizens were all collapsed, and the army would collapse sooner or later. The materials and food were very scarce, and the war could not be fought at all. There was no hope of continuing to resist, so he led his people away.

Zhao Yun quickly sent Li Dian to chase him, thinking that this might be a good opportunity to gain merit.

As a result, Li Dian did not chase King Kangju, but met the vanguard army of Zhang Fei, who was captured King Kangju, who was Kaixuan, and was brought back together by Zhang Fei.

When everyone saw Zhang Fei coming with his captives arrogantly, everyone was in a complicated mood.

Then they listened to Zhang Fei's loud voice showing off.

He showed off how he had fought guerrilla for a month, how he fired a shot and maneuvered at another place at a high speed, how he was so confused that he used the tactics against the Xianbei people at that time, and how he reflected the state of a hero's sword not old.

Zhang Fei destroyed all the deployment of King Kangju, one by one, and another, and turned it into the wind and invaded like fire, which directly caused Kangju's collapse.

After confirming this, everyone, including Zhao Yun, was quite complicated.

This battle was equivalent to Zhang Fei's fight alone, which stunned the people of Kangju. The main force of the entire Wei army was to wipe Zhang Fei's butt, constantly catch people and livestock, then occupy the city and capture the military and political leaders of Kangju.

Although it can also be considered a merit, but... how can this be so bad?

Zhang Fei brought back more than 5,000 heads, saying that these were their military achievements, and there were also a lot of prisoners, saying that King Kangju and his relatives were dedicated to General Zhao, and asked General Zhao to accept it with a smile.

Zhao Yun's expression was very wrong.

But there is no doubt that the Kangju royal family was beaten all by Zhang Fei. From the Kangju king himself, his sons, daughters, wives, concubines, and relatives were beaten all by Zhang Fei.

During the interrogation, Kangjuwang said that he couldn't even understand why he ran northwest and plunged into Zhang Fei's arms.

Zhao Yun asked Zhang Fei if he had any preparations in advance.

Zhang Fei said no, he just shot and changed the place to avoid being surrounded by Kangju troops. As a result, he caught the escaped Kangju King when he was just in time to change to that place.

Before he could think that this was King Kangju, he thought it was probably the army of a military and political official, so he charged over and killed his guard and captured all of them.

Then I asked clearly and learned that this was King Kangju and he escaped. He said that Kangju was over and they had no choice but to escape. Please ask the general of the country not to hurt them, at least give him a way out.

Zhang Fei thought it was Zhao Yun and the others who showed their power to destroy Kangju's main force, and he took advantage of it.

Still have this luck?

Is this OK?

Zhao Yun was not sure how he should explain to Zhang Fei how he fought this battle.

He didn't know how to tell Zhang Fei that this random attack caused Kang Juguo to collapse.

Maybe the Wei army is too strong...

Zhao Yun was very depressed, the generals of the entire army were very depressed, and the younger generations who followed him to increase their knowledge were also very depressed.

They wanted to see the bloody battles of their seniors, and they also suffered blood, but they failed to get bloody. They ate a stomach full of dust and wiped their butts everywhere.

Now I am full of fire - anger against Zhang Fei.

But there is no way, the war is basically over.

The field battle was not completed, and the main force of the Wei army fought a few siege battles, and it was still very easy to finish. The longest time was not fought for two days, and the city fell. Basically, the military and political officials and the people caught it together.

Because Zhang Fei's action to destroy the nomadic settlements caused the herdsmen in Kangju to gather in the city. When the Wei army arrived, they just made dumplings, but none of them ran away.

The previous few days should have been the largest siege battle. Judging from that posture, it should be the old nest of King Kangju. I thought I would fight a tough battle, but people in the city suddenly found that King Kangju had escaped.

The army collapsed and its morale was gone. A total of 30,000 soldiers were in chaos without fighting and did not fight at all.

The Wei army easily rushed into the city, captured them all, and made dumplings with more than 100,000 residents and refugees in the city.

Kangju lost his country in a political sense, and in a practical sense, there were very few people who escaped from the king to the lower class.

This battle can only be said to be too easy and too fast.

The Wei army did not kill a few people at all.

After all, the Wei army's 40,000 troops were killed and more than 500 were injured.

However, more than 20,000 people in Kangju Kingdom were destroyed, and their entire country was captured and hundreds of thousands were captured.

This battle loss ratio made Zhao Yun himself a little astonished.

In the end, it can only be attributed to Zhang Fei's chaos and defeated the military and people of Kangju Kingdom. They could not resist the Wei army wholeheartedly, except for panic.

Once you panic, your combat power will naturally disappear. There is no leader in the group of dragons and a pile of sand. It is not incomprehensible to fight such a bad battle.

Guan Yu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him. The brothers he hadn't seen for a long time didn't give him a good look, which made Zhang Fei inexplicable.

But Zhang Fei felt that he had been unpopular for a long time and did not take it seriously. He brags about how fierce and efficient his new tactics are.

Zhao Yun had no choice. The military war was basically over, and the next thing was political work.

The rectification work is also very simple, and it will be completely destroyed.

Only those who can't read, write, and only speak and produce tools, and those who have cultural knowledge and conspiracies will be killed.

The upper class of Kangju was ordered by Zhao Yun to behead him and all of them were destroyed, leaving only a few noble people, such as the Kangju royal family, to go back to offer prisoners.

Anything that has been recorded in writing will be destroyed, all the distinctive sacrificial supplies, etc. will be destroyed, all the buildings will be flattened, turning the land back into a wilderness.

All seized items were left with normal daily necessities, and all those with Kangju characteristics were burned to destroy them, fundamentally erasing the history of Kangju Kingdom.

Just like the countries in the Western Regions, the complete loss of hope of inheritance and restoration of the country is just like never before.

Then the prisoners were taken back to the Protectorate of Zhenxi and handed over to Cao Ang for disposal, and let Cao Ang distribute them. By the way, they could also help the Protectorate of Beiting and Annan Protectorate of Annan and add a wave of labor to them.

Cao Ang, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi have yelled more than once that there is a lack of labor and it is difficult to build local repairs and defense. Now, hundreds of thousands of people have been arrested for you, and you can do whatever you want.

Anyway, you can manage the three major prophets and you can watch out for the western gate of the empire, that's fine.

As for whether to occupy the former place of Kang’s residence, everyone’s opinions on the pre-war meetings and after the war were not to occupy it.

First of all, the Empire’s supply line has been stretched for a long time, so there is no need to continue to grow, that’s meaningless.

Secondly, the former land of Dayuan itself is a basin. As long as you master the steep terrain in the west of the basin and close the basin, the western gate of the empire will be closed.

The old place of Kangju is flat, which is especially suitable for cavalry raids. The Wei cavalry arrived day and night, so there was no need to occupy it at all.

Even if you occupy it, you don’t know how to defend it. In order to defend better, a large number of troops may be needed, which will increase the strategic pressure of the Wei army.

Just level and destroy, demonstrate the bravery of the Wei army, and take everyone away.

Guo Peng has a very good saying, and has always been regarded as a criterion in the Wei army's military.

If people have lost their land, they will all live. If people have lost their land, they will all live. If people have lost their land, they will all live.

People are the most important productivity.

Leave a no-man's land with destroyed infrastructure. If others want to occupy it, they have to build from scratch, invest costs, and immigrate and migrate people to live.

The Wei people do not want to invest in this part of the cost, and whoever wants to invest will invest.

And more importantly, whether this wave of investment can achieve results is also a very serious problem.

The reward cycle for building a settlement is too long, and it has grown to the point where ordinary people dare not get involved.

Even the landlord Laocai is not very willing to open up wastelands for tasks like this, and thinks it is too wasteful.

They only need to have fertile soil that has been opened up.

After the war, the Wei army rectified and began to return to the west of Zhenxi Protectorate with a huge captive population and spoils, leaving behind a mess of corpses on the ground.

In order to intimidate the unscrupulous officials, Zhang Fei also advocated building a Jingguan, which was recognized by Zhao Yun.

The Wei army left completely, leaving only a terrifying Jingguan that could stop children from crying at night.

This Jing Temple is standing there, standing still withstood the wind, sun and rain. It will still play a shocking role in a long and long time, and will announce the world the great martial arts of the Wei army.

The Wei army left and took away the vitality of human beings on this land.

This place has become a paradise for wild beasts, and it will take considerable effort for any human force to reoccupate this place.

This is also a hidden thunder left by the Wei Empire to the latecomers—

You can't even imagine what I can't get.

After the Wei army passed away, the whistle cavalry of the Abnormal Empire and the Kushan Empire quietly touched and watched the specific situation. Then they saw this horrifying scene. They were frightened on the spot and some of them were more fragile and simply cried.

They all went back to report the matter to their respective emperors.

It is better to say that the Wei army's military is too powerful and they can't fight against each other. It is better to retreat and not have disputes with the Wei people.

Otherwise, once you have to use a knife to solve the problem, it will be bad.

However, they did not have to go back so dedicatedly to report such matters. The Wei army had already handed over the notes to the Kushan Empire and the Silent Empire government.

The two governments received notes from the Wei army one after another.

The Wei army told them that Kangju Kingdom had been erased and became a country that no longer existed. This was the end of disobeying the Wei Empire and damaging the interests of the Wei Empire.

As for the Wei Empire, the temper is not very good. I hope that from now on we will all live in peace and not cause any unpleasant things.

Otherwise, we don’t know what the Wei army would do, and it might be very terrible and difficult to end.

This is conveyed according to Zhao Yun's meaning.

Zhao Yun never lie, what he said is true.

He really doesn't know what Zhang Fei can do. At that time, a half-death person who is not easy to torture a certain country will not be the strategic goal of the Wei Empire.

The Wei Empire had expanded to its limit on the Western Front, and it was impossible to continue to expand, and it was meaningless to continue to expand.

So stopping here, there is no further territorial ambition.
