: Break it off

"How do you think I, Kang Ju, should deal with this matter of Zoroastrianism and Taoism?"

As soon as the meeting began, King Kangju got straight to the point.

"Your Highness, Zoroastrianism and Taoism are not the religions of our Kangju people, why not let them fight!"

King Kangju saw that the person who spoke was none other than Bading Wenmao, who was always called a reckless man.

"Ba Ding Wenmao, you are really an idiot. If you can just let the two religions fight, why would your Highness summon us for discussion?"

The person who spoke at this time was Wang Ariya. Although the Wang Ariya family and the Badin Wenmao family were not considered feuds, they had never been in conflict with each other.

"Wang Ariya, I want to duel with you!" Badin Wenmao was so angry that he flew into a rage.

"Come on, who is afraid of whom?"

"Okay, please just leave me alone!"

King Kang Ju took pictures of several cases with dissatisfaction.

The two glared at each other before sitting down.

"Your Highness, the Zoroastrian Cult has been in my Kangju for more than three hundred years. There are many tribesmen who believe in the Zoroastrian Cult. You should be cautious..."

Prime Minister Kang Ju was still the same. Although he spoke, his words were of no use.

General Dongchai said at this time, "Zhizhi City, the holy land of Zoroastrianism, has been captured by the Han army some time ago."

"The Han general Su Fei is currently stationed in Zhizhi City and is eyeing me, Kangju. We don't have much time left!"

Wang Ariya said: "General Dongchai's intention is to suppress Zoroastrianism?"

Dongchai said: "Yes, if I, Kangju, don't wipe out Zoroastrianism on my own now, I'm afraid the Han army will enter the country in large numbers!"

Badin Wenmao heard this and muttered: "That Su Fei only has nine thousand riders, and my Kang Ju's troops are ten times that. He dares to send troops!"

King Kangju stared at Badin Wenmao dissatisfied and said: "Shut up, my king, how could you know how terrifying the Han army is!"

At this time, King Kangju couldn't help but recall the battle that year.

Kang Ju was in ruins because of that war.

If he had not rashly marched eastward, how could Kang Ju, the three kingdoms of Dawan, Yan, and Yancai be afraid of the Han?

The nobles in the hall who had participated in the Eastern Expedition could not help but sigh with emotion. They all discussed the strength of the Han army.

Although Badin Wenmao didn't agree, he still kept his mouth shut.

King Kang Ju said: "It's not just Su Fei. News came yesterday that the First Lieutenant of the Beiting Han Army and the Wusun Eight Thousand Cavalry have also arrived at the border..."

Prime Minister Kang Ju stood up at this time and said: "Your Highness, we must destroy Zoroastrianism before the Han army issues an ultimatum... Otherwise, Kang Ju may follow in the footsteps of Wusun!"

After Prime Minister Kang Ju finished speaking, the nobles in the hall all agreed. A few nobles who had converted to Zoroastrianism also publicly expressed their intention to leave Zoroastrianism.

"It is better to destroy Zoroastrianism quickly than this. I have decided to start taking action tonight. What do you think?"

King Kangju made up his mind to destroy Zoroastrianism immediately.

"good!"

All the nobles expressed their approval.

King Kangju looked around at everyone with satisfaction: "In that case, you will go back to your home immediately to mobilize your private soldiers and start taking action at sunset."

…

Soon the appointed time came, and the nobles in the city of Beitian took action one after another.

Soon the whole city of Bhotan was filled with shouts of death and screams.

The Zoroastrian believers in the city did not expect that King Kangju would so decisively eliminate them.

Caught off guard, the Zoroastrians in the city of Petit had no power to resist.

In just one night, except for a few lucky ones, all the Zoroastrians in the city of Petit were sent to meet their gods.

What happened in the city of Beitian quickly spread throughout Kangju.

The Zoroastrian believers who were not willing to be massacred gathered together under the call of the priests. While actively contacting the Parthian Empire, they were also preparing to confront King Kangju.

After King Kangju purged the Zoroastrian believers in the capital city of Khotan, he officially declared "Taoism" as the state religion and labeled Zoroastrianism as a cult.

In August of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Kangju Zoroastrians launched a large-scale rebellion with the support of the Parthian Empire.

King Kangju, who was well prepared, immediately gathered his troops to put down the rebellion after receiving the news.

Half a month later, King Kangju personally led an army of 60,000 people and arrived at Sufei City.

At this time, more than 100,000 people had gathered in Sufei City.

Among them were 30,000 elite Parthian troops under the banner of volunteers.

Facing the Kangju army who came to counter the rebellion, the Zoroastrian Cult of Sufi City did not choose to defend the city, but went out to fight King Kangju.

In this battle, the Zoroastrian Cult's 100,000 cavalry faced Kang Ju's 60,000 cavalry.

After the two armies met, Zoroastrianism, which had the numerical advantage, was the first to attack.

King Kangju did not know at this time that there were 30,000 elites among these Zoroastrian believers, so he did not pay too much attention to the enemy's attack.

It is precisely because of this that Kang Ju's army was once in an unfavorable situation.

King Kangju's plan was to use the central army to block the Zoroastrian attack, and then use elite cavalry to launch a fatal blow to the enemy from the left and right wings.

In fact, the tactics used by King Kang Ju were also often used by the Han army.

The Han army called this tactic "blunt edge and broken wings!"

This is the tactic used by the Han army in the Battle of Chigu.

If there were not 30,000 Parthian Empire elites, there would be no problem with this tactic.

As soon as the battle began, General Xi'an, who was secretly in charge of the battle, discovered that the Kangju people's central army was the weakest.

He immediately ordered a thousand Parthian heavy cavalry to charge against the Kangju people's central army.

These thousand heavy cavalry caught the Kangju people by surprise.

Kangju's infantry was rushed to pieces by the Parthian heavy cavalry.

The Parthian heavy infantry and Zoroastrian fanatics immediately followed up and started hand-to-hand combat with the Kangju people.

The two sides fought fiercely for only two quarters of an hour, and the Kangju people's Chinese army was already gradually exhausted.

In order to stabilize the front, King Kangju had to change his plan and put the troops used for assault on the two wings into frontal combat.

Seeing the casualties in the front getting bigger and bigger, King Kangju was heartbroken and bleeding. These fallen soldiers were all the elites of Kangju.

However, in order to prevent the front from collapsing, King Kangju had no choice but to throw his elite cavalry into the front line to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

As more and more troops are invested, casualties also increase.

At this time, Prime Minister Kang Ju sent information, "There are 30,000 Parthian elites among the Zoroastrians!"

After King Kangju received the information, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"People of peace, please wait. I swear that I will not be a human unless I take revenge on you!"

At this time, the battlefield ahead became increasingly fierce. The Zoroastrians, who were inspired by religion, fought desperately with the Kangju people regardless of life and death.

The Kangju people were also unwilling to be outdone, and the two sides fought fiercely until the afternoon.

The Parthians, who could not stand such a brutal battle, were the first to be shaken.

King Kangju immediately discovered this opportunity and personally led his 300 heavy cavalry to launch a counterattack against the Parthians.

The Parthians, who had already begun to waver, retreated under the impact of the heavy cavalry.

The Parthian retreat suddenly caused a chain reaction.

The original balance was broken, and the Zoroastrians could no longer hold on, and began to retreat one after another.

Soon there was a scene of "a crushing defeat" on the battlefield.
