Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was extremely tired of Goguryeo, and he had already wanted to launch a crusade, but there was never a best excuse, and this time, he had to be brought to the surface of the court. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Goguryeo is still entrenched in the northeast, the first to see in the "Book of Han", in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms era has appeared, and the Central Plains regime during the war, because it is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains is remote, so the Central Plains court, has never completely eliminated the country.

After the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Five Chaos of China, Goguryeo took advantage of the melee in the Central Plains to continuously invade the Youzhou area, and later had wars with the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou.

Even after the establishment of the Great Sui, it also launched several invasions, but its strength was not enough to attack the Central Plains, and each time it was defeated, but it caused certain hidden dangers to the frontier.

"Niu Servant, you are very knowledgeable, tell the ministers about the origin of Goguryeo, as well as the form of government and government, so that the ministers have a number in their hearts."

Servant Niu Hong stood up, already over the age of sixty-three and four, stood up from the first column of Wenchen, first bowed to Emperor Yang of Sui, then turned around to look at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and said: "The word [Goguryeo] first appeared in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was later recorded in the Book of Han, but it is only a geographical word, not a country. According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Buyeo prince Jumeng fled from the Buyeo Kingdom to the southeast due to discord with other princes and established Goguryeo; In the early days of its establishment, it may have consisted of the Buyeo people who had migrated to the area in part. ”

Later, Goguryeo rose, expanded its territory, gradually annexed Buyeo, annexed Liaodong to the west, invaded part of the Korean Peninsula to the east, opposed the Han Dynasty, and a war broke out, the Han army was victorious, so that Goguryeo was forced to move the capital eastward to Marudu City. After the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, the Cao Wei court also had a war with Goguryeo, and they also won, recapturing Liaodong, and the king of Goguryeo Dongchuan fled to Wofu. ”

"However, after Cao Wei destroyed the city of Marudu, he thought that Goguryeo had perished, so he did not continue the pursuit, and soon withdrew his army, and only a few decades later, Goguryeo rebuilt the city of Marudu, and began to attack the counties of Liaodong and Lelang, and developed and expanded, and stood with the indigenous people of the Korean Peninsula in Baekje and Silla."

"In the ninth year of the emperor's reign, my Great Sui unified the north and south, and asked the surrounding states to be attached as vassal states, and was recognized by most countries. In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, Goguryeo preemptively attacked Liaoxi, triggering the first war between the two countries, but when the first emperor was ready to raise a heavy army to ask for the guilt, the king of Goguryeo was busy expressing his apologies and called himself 'Liaodong Dung Tuchen Yuan', so he was pardoned. However, in these years, Goguryeo is still connected with anti-Sui forces everywhere, and the nomadic tribes such as the Northern Qi relics, Turkic, Khitan, Murwei, and Jin Ya have secretly had contacts with Goguryeo, which is really a big trouble for the northeast border of our Great Sui! ”

After listening to this, the Chinese military officials of the court had different faces and nodded frequently, so that this Goguryeo was indeed a scourge in the north of Dasui.

However, the matter of raising the army, related to the foundation of the country, can not use the army, it is best not to launch on a large scale, otherwise, no matter how strong the national strength can not support, when the Western Han Dynasty was at its peak, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once shouted out the strong slogan of "those who offend my Han Dynasty, although they are far away, they will be punished", and they continue to fight, and there is quite a posture of ransom for the army!

Although the army of the Western Han Dynasty defeated many states and rectified the border troubles, the Western Han Dynasty fought for many years, consumed too much national strength, and died millions of strong men, and the Han Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he also realized the gains and losses of his achievements, and told his descendants not to move troops easily, the rise and fall of the country!

Therefore, when launching a national war, we must consider the gains and losses, carefully analyze it, not only whether the war can be won, but also how large-scale it will be launched, whether it is necessary, and how the war will be fought.

The military generals of the DPRK and China, such as Zhou Fashang, Yang Yichen, Guo Yan, Yu Zhongwen, Fan Zigai, Mai Tiezhu, Yu Juluo and others, heard that there would be a war, and it was the turn of the generals to come forward.

However, some Wenchen felt that the pace of Tuguhun had just been flattened, and the pace of digging canals and repairing the Great Wall was too fast, which was not conducive to the stability of the Great Sui.

For example, the internal history of Lang Xin is righteous and upright, and he has investigated and dealt with the cronies of Yang Jun, the king of Yuzhang, and did not give Yang Yi face at all, so he was hated by the latter, but he didn't care.

Xin Gongyi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Goguryeo is located outside the remote Liaodong, to use troops against it, the mobilization of the Central Plains army is probably huge, the number of troops, grain and grass transportation, combat consumption, etc. are huge, Goguryeo is different from Tuyuhun, operating there for hundreds of years, holding the western Liaoxi corridor, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the east is the vast sea, a natural barrier, so, for Goguryeo, Weichen feels that when thinking twice, he is very cautious!" ”

"Hmph, the land of small projectiles also needs to be extremely cautious? Compared with the territory and population of our Great Sui, it is less than one-tenth, so why be afraid? Tuyuhun is located in the plateau area, a bitter cold land, nomadic tribes, and they can all be swept away by our army, let alone a small country on the peninsula? Xin Gongyi, your words are too conservative. ”

"Your Majesty, the ancients are cloudy, and the soldiers are ......"

"Okay, I don't want to listen to the nonsense of those ancients, the times are different, the national strength is different, those things that the ancients can't do, I can do, why listen to their words?"

Xin Gongyi was gagged, his face was red, he was angry, and he was anxious, and just about to refute, he was reprimanded by Emperor Yang of Sui with a wave of his hand: "Stand down, I don't want to listen to persuasion anymore, but you don't have to filter, my decision-making is by no means an impulse to send troops, I will carefully plan, not to fight uncertain battles, besides, my Great Sui is full of talents, fierce generals are like clouds, strong soldiers and strong horses, invincible, fight a small country, will be successful!" ”

Luo Zhaoyun stood in the second row of the military ministers, with a prominent position, but he didn't want to speak, because no matter how he persuaded him, he couldn't change the decision of Emperor Yang of Sui, he didn't have that influence, if he stood up at this moment and refuted Emperor Yang of Sui, thinking that attacking Goguryeo would make the Great Sui lose the country, it was estimated that the next moment, he would be attacked by some political enemies, and then he was given death by Yang Guang's edict.

This war, perhaps predestined by history, is inevitable!

[PS: I'm finally going to write about Goguryeo, this country is definitely not a Goryeo stick called by the common people in later generations in romance and folk novels, it doesn't have much to do with it except that it is close to the name of Goryeo. The people of Goguryeo were not Koreans, nor Koreans in later generations, but were composed of nomadic herders and local ethnic minorities in the Jilin region of northeast China, and it was only later that the country invaded the Korean Peninsula and absorbed a small number of Koreans. However, Goguryeo is called from the origin, not the ancestors and old ancient countries of Korea and South Korea, but the establishment of ethnic minorities in the land of Greater China.

In the field of Chinese history, the latest research conclusion is that Goguryeo and Goryeo are by no means the same thing, let alone Korean culture, because Goguryeo used Chinese characters for a long time, and worship was also Nuwa culture, not Goryeo after the Tang Dynasty, when the ancient Han Kingdom came to the Central Plains to learn the spread of Han culture. (The real Goryeo is the Goryeo Dynasty during the Yuan Dynasty!) ）

Therefore, the Goguryeo people are not Goryeo sticks, please all those who see the competition for power can know this historical knowledge point! Although many Sui and Tang novels are confused, the author still hopes to tell this knowledge point. Because when we despise it as a Korean stick, we also tacitly assume that it belongs to the ancient Korean culture, which is inappropriate. (To be continued.) )
