Chapter 963: Grievances and Hatred with Goguryeo

Jing, called Gaoqiu; view, que type also. Zhan Jie's corpse, building a view of Beijing, thinking that the place where the corpse is hidden, is actually showing off martial arts. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo in the east, but all three times ended in failure, not only lost troops and generals, but also the people in the northeast of the Sui Dynasty, and were plundered by Goguryeo up to 100,000. As a witness to these events, Li Shimin had a great impact on him.

When Li Shimin was young, he was upright in the heyday of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, no one in the Sui Dynasty had any objections. As a hereditary nobleman and a relative of the emperor, the Li family was once a die-hard supporter of the Great Sui royal family, and Li Shimin was also educated as a courtier of the Great Sui Dynasty and was loyal to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

The Sui Dynasty will decline in just over ten years, which is inseparable from the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo. It can be said that if Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty did not go east to Goguryeo, the Sui Dynasty would definitely not perish. This is also the reason why as soon as Li Shimin mentioned that he was going to go east, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty advised him. A simple reason, the Sui Dynasty, which was so powerful back then, failed to conquer Goguryeo, and now the Tang Dynasty, which is in ruins, how can it defeat Goguryeo?

This is just the idea of ordinary people, but Li Shimin's idea is different.

In Li Shimin's consciousness, the conquest of Goguryeo was not as difficult as he imagined. The reason why the Sui Dynasty failed to conquer was directly related to the great joy and arrogance of Emperor Yang of Sui. He doesn't need to have a high level of military talent, but as long as he can fight normally, he won't turn a war that he can't lose into what it looks like later.

The dispute between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo has a long history, as early as the time of Emperor Wen of Sui, Goguryeo took advantage of Emperor Wen of Sui to unify the north and south, and repeatedly attacked the northeastern frontier of the Sui Dynasty on a small scale. After King Yingyang of Goguryeo succeeded to the throne, the envoy of the Sui Dynasty met Goguryeo's envoy in the Turks, and Emperor Wen of Sui sent a letter to Goguryeo asking Goguryeo to terminate the alliance with the Turks, and asking Goguryeo to stop the continuous invasion of the Sui frontier and submit to the Sui. Although the king of Goguryeo Oyoyang ostensibly accepted the ultimatum of Sui Gaozu, the following year, the king of Nuyang and Su Mo attacked the Sui Dynasty's hussar palace in Jizhou Road.

In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo's Yingyang, "led more than 10,000 people to ride Kou Liaoxi" and was repelled by the Sui Dynasty. Goguryeo did not surrender, still did not obey orders, and did not pay tribute.

Emperor Wen of Sui couldn't bear it, and took Yang Liang, the king of Han, and Wang Shiji as the marshals of the march, led 300,000 land and water to attack Goguryeo, and took Shangshu's left servant Gao Gong as the long history of the Han king, and Zhou Luohu as the head of the navy. However, the expedition did not go well, Yang Liang suffered heavy rains, transportation failed, the army lacked food, and suffered from disease. Zhou Luohu sailed from Donglae to Pyongyang City, but was caught in a wind on the way, and many ships were lost. The Sui army had to return by land and water, and eight or nine out of ten died.

When the king of Goguryeo saw the great momentum of the Sui army, he was worried about the second expedition, so he apologized and called himself "Liaodong Dung Tuchen Yuan". Emperor Wen of Sui saw that he couldn't help him, so he had no choice but to quit the army, and he endured it.

But when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty arrived, King Yingyang of Goguryeo carried the Sui Dynasty behind his back and sent envoys to secretly communicate with the Turks, wanting to attack the Sui Dynasty on both sides. At that time, it was the northern tour of Emperor Yang of Sui and stopped at the Turkic Qimin Khan, who did not dare to hide it and told Emperor Yang of Sui about it.

Emperor Yang of Sui was very angry and asked the envoys of Goguryeo to come to the audience and let him do the courtesy of his ministers, and if he made a pilgrimage on time, he would not be blamed for the past and would be treated equally with the Khan of Qimin. However, King Yingyang of Goguryeo insisted on "not obeying" Emperor Yang of Sui's will, and Emperor Yang of Sui began to make up his mind that he must conquer this neighboring country with a heart of disobedience.

In the sixth year of the Great Cause, the Sui Dynasty pacified the Khitan, Tuyuhun and other neighboring countries, and the momentum reached its peak. The neighboring countries, with the exception of Goguryeo, all expressed their submission. Goguryeo became the only thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and became the biggest stain on Emperor Yang of Sui's martial arts. The conquest of Goguryeo was already on the verge and had to be sent.

Pei Ju, the squire of the Yellow Gate, figured out the thoughts of Emperor Yang of Sui, and persuaded Emperor Yang of Sui to coerce the King of Goguryeo to enter the court on the grounds that Goguryeo was originally a land sealed by Jizi and now did not obey the courtesy. Goguryeo's infant Yang King Gao Yuan really did not follow the rituals and gave Emperor Yang of Sui an excuse to conquer Goguryeo. The following year, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty officially issued an edict to conquer Goguryeo and mobilize the whole country, wanting to fight a war to achieve complete success.

It was this idea that ruined the good situation of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Yuan Hongsi, the governor of Youzhou, to build 300 ships to Donglai Haikou, and the specified date was very tight, and the officials supervised the shipbuilders to work in the water day and night in order to complete the task, and hardly dared to rest. As a result of being immersed in water for a long time, maggots grew from the waist down, and countless people died. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty issued an edict to gather the soldiers and horses of the world, regardless of the north and south, far and near, to converge in Zhuo County. Not to mention the loss of labor and money, a large number of soldiers and horses were assembled, the chaotic soldiers were not effectively controlled, and the surrounding people were full of complaints.

After assembling the world's troops, Emperor Yang of Sui requisitioned another 10,000 sailors, 30,000 crossbowmen, and 30,000 Lingnan platoon trowels south of Jianghuai, and ordered Henan, Huainan, and Jiangnan to build 50,000 chariots to Gaoyang to load clothes and armor curtains, and also requisition and send people to supply military supplies. In the autumn of the seventh year of the great cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty levied and sent the people south of the Jianghuai River and the ships to transport Liyang and Luokou Zhucang rice to Zhuo County, the ships were more than 1,000 miles, carrying soldiers and armor and the tools of capture, there were hundreds of thousands of people who came and went on the road for a long time, crowded the road, day and night, the dead pillowed each other, and the road was filthy. Before the war started, Emperor Yang of Sui had already stirred up the world to complain.

In this battle, the Sui army mobilized a total of more than one million main battle soldiers and horses, which can be called the largest in history. The Tang Dynasty now claims to have a million soldiers, but in fact, it is not enough for this amount. But Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, even though he complained, he really mobilized so many people. In addition to the people who transported grain and grass for the army, more than 5 million people indirectly participated in the war.

How many people were there in Goguryeo? Five million people participated in the war, and even if one person spat at the mouth, they could drown the people of Goguryeo. In Li Shimin's view, this is a war that cannot be lost no matter how it is fought, and even if it is a dog to command, the battle can be won. This is true, but unfortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui also thinks so.

Since you can't lose no matter how you fight, why can't you reflect the magnanimity of my king's army and the heavenly kingdom? As a result, a battle of national fortune became a 'hype' of Emperor Yang of Sui's brilliant martial arts.

Emperor Yang of Sui decided to drive the expedition in person!

When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty decided to conquer in person, the Manchu civil and military forces did not object. They also felt that although Emperor Yang of Sui had tossed a little bit in this battle, and the people had some complaints, a big victory was enough to fill up these complaints. The emperor wants to show off his martial arts, just let him show it. So inside and outside the government, there was a lot of flattery. Emperor Yang of Sui listened to these words, and became more and more 'riotous'.

He divided the army of more than one million into three routes, the left and right routes, and in addition to the middle army, the left and right armies were divided into twelve routes, and the formation was opened. In order to 'divide the battle merits equally', Emperor Yang of Sui assigned tasks to each road, and planned to eventually meet in Pyongyang after completing their respective tasks. But when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty arrived, King Yingyang of Goguryeo carried the Sui Dynasty behind his back and sent envoys to secretly communicate with the Turks, wanting to attack the Sui Dynasty on both sides. At that time, it was the northern tour of Emperor Yang of Sui and stopped at the Turkic Qimin Khan, who did not dare to hide it and told Emperor Yang of Sui about it.
