Since the founding of Goguryeo in the Western Han Dynasty, the grievances with the Central Plains Dynasty have continued to this day, which is also a long history of grievances, and it is the history of Goguryeo's encroachment on the Central Plains. With so many surrounding countries, why did the two generations of emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty destroy Goguryeo with all their life's work?

First of all, Goguryeo was an ambitious regional power that spanned eastern Liaodong and the northern part of the peninsula. Although Goguryeo was established by the Buyeo people, it continued to encroach on the surrounding territories, invaded and expanded externally, and the territory continued to expand, and its domestic population counted as many as 700,000 households and three or four million people in the case of the slaves of the Goguryeo family, and only 500,000 households when Nanchen was destroyed by the Sui.

Second, Goguryeo is different from the nomadic people, Goguryeo integrates nomadism, fishing and hunting, and farming, which means that its economic system has been sustained and diversified. The Xiongnu, Rouran, Turkic, and other steppe nomads belong to the sky for food, and may be devastated because of a heavy snowfall. Goguryeo, on the other hand, had a solid political and military system. It is well-hierarched and well-organized, and has a strong ability to resist disasters and fight against disasters. It can be said that the decision of the rulers of the Great Sui to destroy Goguryeo was far-sighted and politically far-sighted. Referring to the Jin established by the Liao and Jurchens later established by the Khitans, if Goguryeo had encountered the Song Dynasty, it might have been able to continue to dominate the Central Plains for hundreds of years. The two emperors of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo four times, and invested nearly 10 million manpower (soldiers and transportation people) before and after to capture Goguryeo, which shows the horror of its defensive ability.

Third, the Great Sui Dynasty divided the Eastern and Western Turks, and Yiwu, Ketuguhun, and Yangwei Western Regions, and its martial arts were extremely prosperous, and established a set of tributary system with the Great Sui as the core, but Goguryeo was unruly, violated the Great Sui Yang and repeatedly violated it, and responded to the diplomatic mediation of the Great Sui Empire with a provocative attitude. Of course, this was intolerable to the Great Sui Empire, so war would definitely break out between the two sides. The country of Goguryeo is full of cohesion, and the Goguryeo people are "fierce and energetic, accustomed to fighting, and good at money", which makes them very uneasy and aggressive. It is imperative to have devastating power for its actions.

Yang Tong now has the strength to destroy his country, but he doesn't want to fight it, and he won't destroy his country in the future, for two reasons:

First of all, the peninsula is located in the middle of nowhere, and there is no place with development value except for the Changbai Mountain. The Changbai Mountains are vast and rich, with countless rare treasures, especially the thousand-year-old ginseng is the most famous. Digging a thousand-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain, enough for a visitor to spend his life, this treasure mountain has now been successfully obtained, Yang Tong is not eye-catching to other places, and there is not so much manpower to fill it. After the Great Rebellion, the Great Sui will fall into a stage of serious population shortage, and it is impossible for him to leave the good land uncultivated, and let the people come to this bitter cold and harsh place, and settle the people in this ghost place, it is better to develop Jiangnan.

Secondly, political factors, the development direction of the Great Sui is the Western Regions, but the powerful regional power Goguryeo is located in the rear of the Great Sui and has a special strategic value. But now, it has lost four-fifths of its territory, and its strength is on a par with Silla, and it no longer poses the slightest threat to the Great Sui. And the existence of three countries on the peninsula is extremely beneficial to the Great Sui. Historically, Li Zhi was dazzled by the Silla sisters, and actually helped Silla unify the peninsula, but later only a generation, Silla became a poisonous dagger stabbed at the Li Tang Dynasty, whenever the Li Tang Dynasty fought against the Tubo generals and did not win, Silla would make a mistake, making Li Tang's previous achievements abandoned, the national strength was empty, and the Li Tang soldiers ran back and forth, exhausted. And in the twentieth century, our province was frugal and sacrificed countless soldiers to unify the north and south of a certain southern country, but within a few years, it turned around to deal with our country...... This kind of loss is too much, Yang Tong must not make it, and the law of triangle is the most stable, so Goguryeo cannot be destroyed. Now that the eldest Goguryeo and the second Silla have successively become ministers, it is estimated that the time for the third Baekje to be a vassal will not be too far away, and when the time comes, they will watch their alliance come and go, and when a country is about to be unable to support it, they will mediate as the leader of the alliance.

A few days later, Zuo Tiancheng hurriedly came to the city guard mansion of Danxin City, saying that the Goguryeo family headed by the Yuan clan had moved to the south of the 40th parallel cleanly, and they were all honestly cooperating.

Listening to Zuo Tiancheng's report, a sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Tong's mouth.

Will the Yuan clan be honest? Yang Tong absolutely does not believe it, the historical Yuangai Suwen is Dong Zhuo of Goguryeo, if it weren't for the long history of the Gao family and the popularity of the people, he would have replaced him a long time ago, how could he still set up a puppet like the Treasure King? It's just that now Yuangai Suwen has no right arm and right leg, and the whole is completely out of balance, and I don't know how he will live in the future. What he didn't know was that Yang Wanchun, a powerful figure, was also burned to ashes by Fang Xuanling.

"Hard work General Zuo!" Yang Tong said with a smile.

Zuo Tiancheng said excitedly: "It's not hard at all, don't mention how enjoyable it is to rectify these Goguryeo people." ”

Fang Xuanling smiled lightly. "In this battle, our army annihilated about 200,000 troops of the Goguryeo land and water army, at the cost of 40,000 slaves and only more than 6,000 people remained, while the loss of our Great Sui army was less than 5,000, and the results were not brilliant! The 120,000 defenders of more than 50 large and small cities, including Xuansu, Shoucheng, Danxin, Furent, Keel, Xilin, Donglin, Gucheng, Dang'e, and Huayin, have all been detained in prison. Goguryeo should still have an army of no less than 60,000, which is comparable to that of Silla, and with Goguryeo's current population and national strength, it can support about 120,000 troops at most, and beyond this number, its national strength and economy will collapse. ”

"This is a crazy country, they gamble very much, in order to seek a line of development space, often bet on the national fortunes, this has been the case before, and it will be the case in the future! They pulled out an army of 300,000 men, which was expected by me, and I must not take this despicable nation lightly. Du Ru obscures a different view.

"Keming is right! Underestimating Goguryeo will suffer a big loss. Yang Tong agreed.

"What is Your Highness going to do? Build the Great Wall? Fang Xuanling asked with a smile.

"The Goguryeo people are good at building cities, and the 120,000 soldiers detained in prison are the best laborers, and then, build a Great Wall from Xilin to the east coast of the city, the city is six zhang high and three zhang wide! Wait for this Great Wall to be repaired, and then extend the northern Great Wall to Qingjin by the sea, when the two Great Walls are successfully completed, my Great Sui's Liaodong strategy is completed, and then only need to guard the Great Wall, sit and watch the battle outside the pass. Yang Tong said with a smile.

"The new borders are mostly plains, and the Goguryeo people are fierce and cunning, so it is natural to mobilize heavy troops to the border before the Great Wall is completed." Fang Xuanling suggested.

Yang Tong frowned and thought for a long time, then said slowly: "Xiangping County guards Xue Wanshu both civil and military, I plan to let the 20,000 defenders of Xiangping be stationed in the Turtle City in the east of the border, Xue Wanshu is not only responsible for the town side, but also responsible for building the Great Wall, his task is to start from Yaoshan City by the Sashui River, and build the Great Wall to Xilin City by the Wuhu Sea; General Zuo's task was to start from Jincheng in the east of Sashui and repair it to the eastern part of the city. ”

"Whoa!" Zuo Tiancheng respectfully responded to the order.

Yang Tong continued: "The entire Great Wall also has to cross the upper reaches of Sashui and Hunshui, and I plan to let the bridge master Li Chunshilang be responsible for building a bridge that has both passage and defense, and is responsible for supervising the quality of the entire Great Wall. As for Xiangping, who has become an inner county, hand it over to Zhou Shaofan, he is also a civil and military all-rounder, and it is more than enough to be the county guard. ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at Zuo Tiancheng and said with some hesitation: "General Zuo is a very pure soldier, and the minister thinks that his mission should be on the battlefield, and he is not suitable to be a county guard who governs the place!" According to the minister's opinion, Xue Wanshu is the best candidate for the county guard. ”

Zuo Tiancheng was not angry, and grinned: "It's still Fang Shuai who understands me." Your Highness, why don't you let me be a county minister. ”

Yang Tong shook his head slowly: "I have a lot of trust in Xue Wanshu's character and ability, and he is indeed more suitable than General Zuo." But during the special period, General Zuo played a much greater role than Xue Wanshu. ”

"Your Highness is worried that Xue Wanshu will be soft-hearted and make a big mistake?"

"Exactly. The 120,000 Goguryeo defenders plus the prisoners, a total of more than 167,000 young and strong soldiers, these are all murderous soldiers, in order to ensure absolute peace, it is estimated that the powerful killings are indispensable. A trace of coldness flashed in Yang Tong's eyes, he didn't want to make Xuanwu an unstable factor because of his useless soft-heartedness, as the so-called 'non-clan has a different heart', no matter how many foreign clans kill, no one will say more.

"Whoa!"

Zuo Tiancheng had a hint of excitement in his eyes, in the domestic war, even if the killing intent of the soldiers was great, they had to refrain from killing soldiers, nor could they kill civilians, but when facing foreign races, there was no such limitation.

"General Zuo, the Turkic slaves have made great contributions, and I have decided to let them settle in Xuansu County, become official members of my Great Sui, and select Goguryeo women to marry them! The Turks have no morality, and these 6,000 people will be the sharpest blade in your hands. Anyone who tried to resist was killed all over the house, no matter the old or the young. Only by killing them will the rest be settled. ”

It has been too long since Xuansu County left the embrace of the motherland, and the Han family blood in the Goguryeo people has been so faint that it can be ignored, and no matter how merciful it is, it will not be able to influence this nation that is extremely hostile to the Great Sui. Even if he could be influenced, Yang Tong didn't have the time, energy, and patience. In order to ensure that Xuansu would not have an accident, Yang Tong decided to implement a cruel military management system, and completely wiped out the ferocious and wild nature of the Goguryeo people step by step with killing, so that they were afraid of the Han people when they saw them.

In addition, there are two important reasons, one is that the soldiers Yang Dong needs are not only elite soldiers, but also tiger and wolf divisions. And this move can strengthen the blood of the Great Sui soldiers, making him a fierce wolf, a tiger, when Xuanwu County is completely stabilized, the nearly 70,000 military management personnel can turn the direction and target the Turks on the grassland, as well as the countries of the Western Regions, Tuyuhun. This kind of military management system will inevitably become the most terrible management in the world.

Second, Yang Tong hated these alien races in Liaodong very much in his heart, and after the Khitan in his memory entered the Central Plains, he brought a bloody storm, so the Khitan was wiped out; Heishui is the ancestor of the Jurchens, who successively established the Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains, and this nation will be wiped out in the future, which is also the reason why he supported the Su Mo Ya. As for Goguryeo, no matter what the reason for the millions of generals of the Great Sui, they all died at the hands of the Goguryeo people, which is a bloody fact, for the enemy, Yang Tong has only three words in his heart: kill! Kill! Kill!

Why will the polar bears of the future be able to maintain their hegemony for generations? Why is it still able to compete with the number one power when it is in internal and external difficulties? It is because they are located in a bitter cold land, and the whole nation is constantly struggling to survive, constantly forging ahead, and never obeying anyone, so that the soul of the whole nation is tempered in the flames of war!

They never bend over, and naturally have the momentum to look at the world!

Then, once you have been a slave for a long time, you will get used to groveling and lingering......

What Yang Tong wants to do is also to ignite the bloody nature of the Great Sui, and he also tempers the soul of his own nation, so that the whole clan can hold their heads high and be a man with their backbones held high when facing foreign races.

Aliens must be worshipped collectively.

To be honest, the Goguryeo people of this era were very arrogant, very bloody, and had their own national soul, which was much stronger than the Turkic and other steppe peoples, but unfortunately, they were not a member of the Great Sui, so Yang Tong needed to use the means of blood victory to kill their servility, and far beyond later generations.

Defy?

Then kill them to the point of subjugation, to the point of fear, to the point of servility, to the point of genocide.
