Kang Yanze spent several days in anxiety.

Kang Yanze is not young, already forty-two.

But thanks to the influence of his father Kangfu, his future is smooth, but he is mostly responsible for logistics work.

It wasn't until the Northern Han Dynasty was captured that he really got the opportunity to lead the army.

The core of that battle was Luo Youdu's quick horse and light cavalry to recapture Li Jun, and drove straight into Jinyang City in Taiyuan Prefecture, forcing the Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty Liu Chengjun to shrink his troops and shrink Jinyang City, resulting in a lack of troops in the surrounding towns.

Kang Yanze captured one city and one pass, and his achievements were remarkable, but he still fell a little short of convincing the crowd.

During this Western Expedition, the Dianqiansi cavalry led by Murong Yanzhao made a big splash, running rampant in Huanghuang, Longyou River, and gained military exploits with ease.

But what about the infantry?

There is no reason not to envy those who huddled under Hezhou City and stood still, watching the friendly forces win one victory after another.

Kang Yanze was not good enough to convince the public, and when he encountered this special situation, he accumulated dissatisfaction.

Driven by jealousy, Yuan Zhi spoke ill of Kang Yanze behind his back, which became the trigger and set the matter ablaze.

He had considerable influence in the army, and thanks to Murong Yanzhao's prestige, he could guess what would happen in Bianjing, thousands of miles away.

The powerful people in Hezhou City thought that the matter had been exposed, and the planned plan had setbacks.

If Kang Yanze attacked the city at this time, or replaced himself, all his efforts would be in vain.

My future is completely ruined...

What's the use of an unsuccessful plan, no matter how subtle it is?

It was not until the fourth day that Kang Yanze received a letter from the Privy Council, asking him not to be influenced by external forces and to deal with the enemy seriously, that he felt relieved.

Kang Yanze eliminated all psychological burdens and calmed down to study the situation in Hezhou.

Originally, he had already bribed the Ge family in the city, but now the other party was hesitant, and Kang Yanze was not prepared to put all his eggs in one basket.

Looking at the list of wealthy families in Hezhou provided by He Langyexian in his hand, Kang Yanze's eyes moved and he landed on the introduction of the Murong family.

After this turmoil, most of the small and medium-sized tribes in Hezhou City did not dare to act rashly.

Why don't you think differently?

Three days later, Hezhou City.

Murong Qingxuan returned home angrily, kicked over the table in front of him, and cursed: "What the hell, your cattle and sheep are precious, and my food falls from the sky?"

The Murong clan was the royal family of Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun was destroyed by Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty. The Tuyuhun clan has been adopted by the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

Among them, Murong Qingxuan is the Tuyuhun immigrant who moved back to Hezhou after Murong Xuancao led the Tuyuhun people back to Qinghai.

They have a history of more than 250 years in Hezhou and hold large tracts of fertile land near Hezhou.

The Murong family in Hezhou has always made a lot of money from these fertile lands in Hezhou.

This time when the Central Plains attacked, the Murong family's food reserves became the lifeblood of the tribes in Hezhou.

Zhang Youde, the leader of the Zhangmi tribe, immediately attracted Murong Qingxuan, gave him a lot of gold and silver, and asked him to provide military rations.

Even though Murong Qingxuan did not refuse, Murong Qingxuan cooperated very much.

But on this day, everyone ate their food, and the cattle and sheep that were driven into the city by various ministries were protected as if they were treasures, and they were not willing to slaughter them for eating and drinking, which made them furious.

Murong Qingying said from the side: "We cannot resist the Central Plains. It is better to surrender late than to surrender early. If we really wait until the city is broken, our Murong family will be doomed."

Murong Qingxuan's eyes also flashed with fear. Murong Yanzhao's methods towards the tribe were very decisive. As long as the tribe did not surrender, all the clan leaders and the most prestigious ones would be executed.

If he really had to wait until the Central Plains conquered Hezhou, his support for grain and grass would be enough to be punished and beheaded.

Murong Qingying said: "Nowadays, it is said that there is a problem within the Central Plains Army, but Yudi thinks that the more it is like this, the sooner we make a bet. Wen Chengbu used Kang Yanze to cause trouble, even if the strategy is successful, we will win this battle by taking advantage of our defensive advantages.

. But so what? What we will face next will be the second and third attacks. How many times can we hold on? But if we fail to hold on once, my Murong family will be exterminated."

Murong Qingxuan was silent for a long time, thinking about Murong Yanzhao's invincible posture, and sighed: "What my second brother said makes sense, I will do as you say..."

Nightfall!

The two brothers Murong Qingxuan and Murong Qingying gathered the brave men of the clan to surprise the south gate of Hezhou City and forced open the city gate.

The defenders of Hezhou City wanted to resist, but it was too late.

Kang Yanze, who was lurking nearby, entered the city first regardless of life or death.

Kang Yanze has been questioned because he lacks a truly impressive military exploit.

In order to prove himself, Kang Yanze also went all out and took the lead.

As for the soldiers behind Kang Yanze, every one of them was like a bull in heat, howling and charging forward.

Watching the cavalry in the Western Expedition succeed day by day, they finally got their chance and were unwilling to fall behind others.

In front of them, the Hezhou Chengfu Yamen was a stunning beauty with all her charms.

The two brothers Murong Qingxuan and Murong Qingying looked at each other in confusion as they watched a group of soldiers passing by like crazy.

They all saw the word "lucky" in each other's eyes.

They really have no chance of winning against this kind of army.

Zhang Youde had already been on guard against traitors. Ever since word spread from the Zhongyuan Military Camp outside the city that Kang Yanze had contacts with the wealthy families in the city, he had been more cautious.

He never imagined that the betrayer would be the Murong family. In this war, the Murong family provided the most financial resources.

"Traitors, everyone in Tuyuhun is a traitor!"

Zhang Youde cursed loudly and quickly mobilized troops to guard the government office.

victory?

He no longer thinks about it.

He wanted to survive, and he wanted to let the people of the Central Plains know that it would be impossible to capture Hezhou Prefecture without spending ten times more troops.

If you want to avoid casualties, you have to make peace with yourself.

In this situation, peace can only be promoted through war.

As a powerful person in Hezhou, Zhang Youde's vision is indeed not bad.

only……

When Zhang Youde came to the battlefield in person and looked at the Central Plains infantry in full armor, with spears held flat in their hands, advancing like a wall step by step, he felt that the world was spinning, the gap was too big.

In horse warfare, they rely on their innate advantages to compete with the Central Plains.

But when it comes to the infantry, how can a group of tribal soldiers wearing cattle and sheep skins and lacking systematic training be able to compare with the well-trained Central Plains infantry in infantry combat?

There are many factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield, but when it comes to the combat effectiveness of infantry alone, how could the Central Plains infantry crush the nomads of this era in more than one street?

Under the command of Kang Yanze, the Central Plains infantry pushed forward step by step against the defense line deployed by the Tubo soldiers.

The Tubo soldiers have no ability to resist at all...

The Central Plains infantry advanced ten steps, and the Tubo soldiers retreated ten steps. Those who refused to retreat were all stabbed to death by the spear array.

The frightened clan soldiers crowded together in one place, pushing and trampling on each other, and they were in danger of retreating after just one encounter.

Not to mention the planned day and night, even half an hour, they couldn't hold on...

One, two, three...

Before half an hour, the Tubo soldiers could no longer resist and the entire army was defeated...
