Liu Fang led the main force of the naval army to Haikou, and Wang Fanzhi of Linyi sent troops to resist according to the danger, but was defeated and fled by the Sui army. Liu Fang led his army to the Yanli River, and the Linyi people set up a fence on the south bank in an attempt to prevent the Sui army from crossing the river. Liu Fang ordered the soldiers to hold high the banner and march forward with the golden drum. The Sui army waved its flags and drums shook the sky, and the powerful formation and military might completely frightened the people of Linyi and fled.
Liu Fang then commanded the army to cross the Yanli River and march to thirty miles, and the people of Linyi rode elephants and gathered from all directions, wanting to start a decisive battle with the Sui army, and the elephant shocked the Sui army. Liu Fang hurriedly ordered the soldiers to shoot the elephants with strong crossbows, and the elephants were shot one after another and were injured and fled, and the army of the Linyi people was trampled and rushed by the wounded elephants.
Liu Fang took advantage of the situation and commanded the elite troops to launch an attack, the Linyi army was scattered, and the Sui army launched a fierce attack on the whole line, winning a complete victory, and capturing tens of thousands of prisoners. The battle was magnificent, the scene was grand, and the Sui army was brave and good at fighting, showing fearless heroism.
Liu Fang led the army to pursue all the way to the south, winning many battles and being invincible. The Sui army marched to the Dayuan River, and the Linyi people were in danger again, and they were broken again, and chased south of the horse aid Tongzhu. The Sui army then pursued south for another eight days, and finally reached the capital of the Linyi people.
Linyi Wang Fanzhi was forced to abandon the city and flee to the sea, Liu Fang led the Sui army into the capital of Linyi, and captured the eighteen tablets of the temple owner who were cast with gold by the people of Linyi.
The Sui army attacked too deep into the south, fighting for several months, from winter to summer. On the way back to Korea, it was a hot summer, and the soldiers of the Sui army were not adapted to the hot and humid climate in the south, and after a long journey, many of the soldiers contracted diseases, and some of the soldiers had swollen feet, and four or five out of ten people died. General Liu Fang also contracted a serious illness and unfortunately died on the way back to the army, Emperor Yang was very sad after knowing the news, and regretted it, and issued an edict to praise General Liu Fang.
General Liu Fang's expedition to Linyi was the southernmost expedition of the Chinese army in history, which not only thwarted the attack of the majestic elephant army, but also captured the capital of a foreign country, which was a rare act of aggression in Chinese history. Shocked the South China Sea Barbarians, and since then has paid tribute to the Sui Dynasty, which is the glory of China and the glory of China.
Because the Khitans invaded Yingzhou, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered Wei Yunqi to lead the Turkic soldiers to crusade against the Khitan. The Turkic Qimin Khan sent 20,000 cavalry to attack the Khitan under the command of Wei Yunqi, who divided the 20,000 Turkic cavalry into 20 battalions and attacked together in four ways. Each battalion was a mile apart, and was not to be mixed, and marched at the sound of the drums, and stopped at the sound of the trumpets. Wei Yunqi ordered that no horses should be galloped without official dispatch, and on the way to the march, there was a Turkic Gang who violated Wei Yunqi's military order, was beheaded by Wei Yunqi and hung his head to show the public, from then on, the Turkic generals visited Wei Yunqi, all on their knees, not daring to look up at him.
The Khitan was originally dependent on the Turks, so they did not have much suspicion and precaution against the Turkic cavalry. After Wei Yunqi led his army into the Khitan territory, he asked the Turkic soldiers to falsely claim that they were going to Liucheng to trade with the Goryeo, and strictly ordered those who dared to reveal that there were Sui envoys in the camp to behead. The Khitans were unguarded, Wei Yunqi led the Turkic army to a hundred miles away from the Khitan camp and then pretended to turn south to deceive the Khitans, and led the army back at night to continue to march towards the Khitan camp.
Only fifty miles away from the Khitan camp, Wei Yunqi ordered the troops to form a formation and stay, the sky was just slightly bright, the Khitan was still in sleep, Wei Yunqi ordered 20,000 cavalry to gallop together and suddenly launched an attack on the Khitan camp. As a result, the results were brilliant, 40,000 men and women were obtained, half of the women and livestock were given to the Turks, and the rest were contributed to the Sui court, and all the men were killed.
Wei Yunqi rewarded the Turks with half of the captured Khitan women and livestock, and brought the rest of the victories back to the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of Sui was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he gathered hundreds of officials and said happily: "Yunqi used Turkic soldiers to subdue the Khitan, and he was a strange teacher, and he was both civil and military, and I personally recommended him today." "Wei Yunqi was promoted to the rank of secretary and servant.
Wei Yunqi went to the Turks alone to borrow 20,000 troops and used stratagem to defeat the Khitans, which can be called brave and strategic, such generals and deeds are unprecedented in Chinese history, and there is no one in the future. Emperor Yang Guang sent only one person to achieve the brilliant result of capturing 40,000 enemies, defeating the Khitans with the Turks, and developing China's strategic policy of using Hu to control Hu to the extreme.
Liuqiu is today's Taiwan, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty once ordered Zhu Kuan to go to sea to visit the foreign customs, arrived at Liuqiu, because of the incomprehensible language, Zhu Kuan caught a person, retrieved his cloth armor and returned. In the following year, Emperor Yang sent Zhu Kuan to Liuqiu to recruit surrender, but Liuqiu did not comply, so he sent Ben Lang to send Chen Ling and Zhang Zhen and Zhou to send more than 10,000 Dongyang soldiers from Yi'an to attack Liuqiu.
The Sui army sailed by sea for more than a month before arriving in the country of Liuqiu, and the Liuqiu people began to see the ships of the Sui Dynasty, thinking that they were traveling and doing trade with them. Chen Ling led the army to land smoothly, Chen Ling once recruited soldiers from the South China Sea countries, among which there were Kunlun people who could understand the flow of language, so Chen Ling sent him to appease.
Liu Qiu did not obey and refused to rebel against the official army, Chen Ling ordered Zhang Zhenzhou to attack Liu Qiu as the vanguard, and Liu Qiu King Huan Si was thirsty to send troops to fight against the Sui army, and was frequently defeated by Zhang Zhenzhou. Chen Ling led the main force to march to the low Wutan Cave, and begged the little Wang Huansi old model to lead the army to fight, but was defeated by Chen Ling and beheaded the old model Huansi.
So the Sui Dynasty army was divided into five armies and attacked all the way to the capital of Liuqiu, and the king of Liuqiu, Huan Si was thirsty and was forced to go to war in person, and was defeated by the Sui army. The Sui army then attacked the capital of the Liuqiu Kingdom, and took advantage of the victory to pursue the military fence of the Liuqiu Kingdom and pull it out. The Sui army beheaded the king of Liuqiu, Huan Si Thirsty, captured his son Daogavel, and destroyed Liuqiu's palace.
Chen Ling brought the Liuqiu people back to the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was overjoyed, rewarded the Liuqiu captives to the hundred officials, and rewarded Chen Ling as the right Guanglu doctor, and Zhang Zhenzhou as the golden purple Guanglu doctor.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty appointed Xue Shixiong, the general of Youyiwei, as the general of the Wangmendao march, and ordered him to build a Yiwu city in the Western Regions and send Pei Shiju to go together. Xue Shixiong is a famous general of the Great Sui, wherever he marched to break the enemy, he did not commit any crime in the autumn, and won the love of Emperor Yang.
Xue Shixiong and the Turkic Qimin Khan agreed to jointly gather troops to attack the Yiwu Kingdom, and after Xue Shixiong led the army out of Yumen Pass, the Qimin Khan missed the appointment for some reason and did not arrive. General Xue Shixiong did not flinch, but resolutely decided to march alone through the vast desert to attack the country of Yiwu, at this time, the northwest region was in the middle of bad weather and rampant wind and sand.
Xue Shixiong advanced the troops quickly, and the momentum was like falling from the sky, and the Yiwu people didn't expect the Sui army to come at all, so they didn't take precautions. When they heard that Xue Shixiong had led his army across the desert and approached the city, the Yiwu people were terrified and had to ask for surrender. After Xue Shixiong subdued Yiwu, he built a new city called New Yiwu in the east of the old Yiwu city in the Han Dynasty, and Xue Shixiong ordered Guanglu doctor Wang Wei to lead more than 1,000 soldiers to defend the border of Yiwutun, and then led the army to return to the court. Emperor Yang Dayue, Xue Shixiong was promoted to the right doctor because of his merits, and gave 2,000 paragraphs.
The Sui Dynasty established Yiwu County and Rouyuan Town in Yiwu Kingdom, and the new Yiwu City built by Xue Shixiong became an important military stronghold on the Sui Dynasty's control of the east-west communication arteries.
Tuyuhun is more civilized than the Turks, in a semi-nomadic and semi-settled stage, and its capital is in Fuqicheng, 45 miles west of Qinghai Lake. Qinghai Road, which controlled the backbone of the Hexi Corridor of the South Silk Road, was the world's longest land transportation artery connecting Asia, Africa and Europe at that time, and the Tuyuhun people also occupied the hometown of Western Qin.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to unblock the Silk Road, knowing the importance of occupying the land of Tuyuhun, and sent Pei Shiju, a servant of the Ministry of Officials, to attract Qu Boya, the king of Gaochang, and Yiwu Tutun to enter the court, and Emperor Yang personally planned with them to actively plan against Tuyuhun, a competitor in the trade with the common Western Regions.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty once again used the strategy of using Hu to control Hu, and sent Pei Shiju to lobby the Tiele tribes to make them attack Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun was attacked and defeated. Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun fled eastward, fled into the territory of Xiping, and sent an envoy to the Sui Dynasty to ask for help.
Emperor Yang sent Ande Wang Xiong to lead the troops out of the pouring river, and Yu Wenshu, a famous general of the Great Sui Dynasty of Xu Guogong, led the army out of Xiping to surrender. Yuwenshu led the army to arrive at Linqiang City, Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun was frightened in the face of the Sui Dynasty army and did not dare to surrender, led the remnants to flee westward, Yuwenshu led Ying Yanglang to Liang Yuanli, Zhang Jun, Cui Shi and other troops to pursue, successively captured the two cities of Mantou and Chishui, beheaded more than 3,000 heads, captured 200 people below the prince of Tuyuhun, and captured 4,000 men and women to return to the division.
Emperor Yang led the six armies to conquer Tuyuhun in person, and ordered Guanglu doctor Liu Quan to lead the army out of Yiwu Road and meet the Tuyuhun army, and the Tuyuhun people were beaten and fled in embarrassment. The Sui army pursued to Qinghai, captured more than 1,000 people, and took advantage of the victory to capture the capital of Tuyuhun Kingdom.
Emperor Yang ordered Liu Quan to continue to lead the army to attack the two important cities of Zhan Tuyuhun, Mantou and Chishui, and broke Tuyuhun in Chishui, defeated the main force of the Tuyuhun army, and Fu Yun led the people to protect Yuan Chuan. Emperor Yang respectively ordered the internal history of Yuanshou Nantun Jinshan, the military department Shangshu Duan Wenzhen Beitun Snow Mountain, the Taifuqing Yang Yichen Dongtun Pipa Gorge, and the general Zhang Shou Xitun Niling to surround the enemy army on all sides.
Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun only led dozens of horsemen to hide in the mud ridge to escape, and the Tuyuhun Immortal King led more than 100,000 men and women to surrender, including more than 300,000 heads of six animals. The hometown of Tuyuhun is empty, and the Great Sui expands the land for thousands of miles. Emperor Yang ordered all the people who committed minor crimes in the Sui Dynasty to move to the hometown of Tuyuhun to live in the border area, and ordered Liu Quan to lead the army to guard Jishi Town, Heyuan County, and open up the Tuntian.
At this time, the Great Sui reached its peak under the rule of Emperor Yang, and the personal conquest of Emperor Yang of Sui completely conquered and occupied Tuyuhun, completely opened the Silk Road, and unblocked the connection between China and the West. It shocked the countries of the Western Regions, and since then the countries of the Western Regions have continued to pay tribute to China.
During the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty at the end of the Sui Dynasty, labor did not stop, and many people died in labor in the world, which led to the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty also perished quickly. However, there are many great unified dynasties similar to the Sui Dynasty in history, such as the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties, which also experienced the cruel and corrupt rule of the late Sui Dynasty at the end of the dynasty, but most of them were able to survive for a long time. The Sui Dynasty was once unified and prosperous, but it quickly perished, what is the reason?
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the landlord armies all over the world rebelled one after another, and the Guanzhong area, which was based on the Li Tang regime, had the largest number of upper echelons of the landlord class, and the Guanzhong area concentrated a large number of upper-class figures of the landlord class, with strong local power, outstanding social prestige, and strong political energy. The quantity and quality of Guanzhong Haoqiang are very high, and the power is strong, and after being oppressed by the imperial court, the antipathy is particularly strong. Therefore, during the period of chaos in the ruling group, these powerful people took the opportunity to rise up one after another.
Looking at the Jianghuai to Lingnan region, these places were originally ruled by the Southern Dynasty, and there were many powerful landlords who supported the Southern Dynasty, and after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, most of them became the alien forces of the Sui Dynasty. So later a large-scale armed rebellion against the Sui Dynasty broke out in the southern region.
Although Emperor Wen of Sui quelled this great rebellion, he adopted a combination of suppression and compromise, and many rebel leaders later became the assassins and county commanders of the prefectures and counties, so this powerful force was not eradicated.
There are also many landlords in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, Henan and Shandong. The contradictions in the Central Plains have always been complicated, after the Sui set out to conquer Tuyuhun, the country's horses and donkeys died eight or nine out of ten, and later went to Goryeo, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty edict to collect more than 100,000 horses, mainly from the Central Plains, and the rich people in the Central Plains were therefore bankrupt in nine out of ten. The contradictions within the ruling class have intensified so much that the foundations of the Sui regime have been crumbling.
As a result, the three forces within the ruling class, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Sui Dynasty represented by Li Yuan and Yang Xuangan, the remnants of the Southern Dynasty represented by Xiao Mo and Shen Faxing, and the local powerful clans represented by Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou rose up against the Sui. It is not surprising that the Sui regime not only lost the support of the people in the world, but also lost the support of the landlord class on which it depended, and collapsed in an instant.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty carried out harsh conscription and military service, oppressed the working people and even the aristocratic landlords without restrictions, and caused large-scale peasant uprisings and landlord revolts, which was of course the direct cause of the fall of the Sui regime. However, the Sui Dynasty was a unified dynasty established after a long period of division in China, and its situation was quite similar to that of the Qin Dynasty, which was extremely powerful on the outside, but under the surface of great unification, there were undercurrents of various separatist forces, and there were profound unstable factors buried within the ruling class, and the ruling foundation was very unstable.
The reason for the demise is simply tyranny, too heavy servitude, abuse of the power of the people, and the people are overwhelmed after a long rule.
