In the seventh year of Jeongguan, Silla sent an envoy to the court, suing Baekje to capture more than 40 cities of Silla, and uniting with Goguryeo in an attempt to cut off Silla's path to the court, begging the Great Sui to send troops to rescue Silla. Yang Chong took Chen Ling as the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, Xu Shiji as the general manager of the Liaodong Provincial March, and Zhang Bojian as the general manager of the Shenqiu Provincial March, and attacked Goguryeo in three ways.

Xu Shiji had Su Dingfang and Yang Simo as the vanguard, and led the army to cross the Liaoshui, and the Liaodong City was broken in six days under the siege of airships, and the thousand-mile Great Wall of Goguryeo was torn open a gap in the strongest place; The 100,000 combined forces of Goguryeo and Jin Ya led by Yeonshou came to help, and the army was defeated and captured and surrendered, accompanied by more than 30,000 surrenderers. The Goguryeo army of Huangcheng and Yincheng abandoned the city and fled, and there was no one in the area of hundreds of miles, so Sofusun led 20,000 Goguryeo troops to defend Anshi City;

After holding on for half a month, the Sui general Sikongxing's right guard army arrived, using thunderbolt artillery and return artillery to attack, the next day a cannon hit the city tower of Anshi, the sound was like thunder, and the city shook. Sofusun personally rushed to the head of the city to supervise the battle, and was discovered by the scouts of the Sui army, Sikong Xing arranged for twenty airships to pass through the city along the wind, and took turns to bombard the Goguryeo army led by the Fusun of the city tower, and took the opportunity to launch an attack on all sides.

The arrows and stones in the city were like rain, the Goguryeo soldiers and civilians suffered heavy casualties, and fought hard until the evening, the western city wall was blown down, Yuwen Chengdu took the lead in the city, and some of the men and women of Goguryeo rushed out of their homes to fight. The flames soared into the sky, and the two sides fought until dawn, and the Sui army could only kill every person in this case, and fought until dawn, and the husband and grandson died in battle, and less than 600 of the 43,000 Goguryeo soldiers and civilians survived, most of whom were still children.

The Sui army then marched all the way south, successively occupying Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan and other cities; Chen Lingshui Division had a naval battle with the Goguryeo Naval Army, defeated the Goguryeo Naval Division, killed 4,000 enemies, and defeated 5,000 Goguryeo cavalry at Yishan after successfully landing on the shore, beheading 2,000. Zhang Bojian, Wang Xiongdan, and Luo Shixin led 100,000 sailors and troops to land at the mouth of the Baekje Xiongjin River; King Chunqiu of Silla served as the head of the Sui army's march on the road of Shengyi, and led an army of 100,000 troops of Silla to attack from the east.

Goguryeo understood that this was a battle to destroy the country, and Gai Suwen ordered Doufang Lou to take up the Goguryeo and Jin Ya coalition forces in the Baishan area, and sent troops to Baishan to make a detour from the side to besiege Wei to save Zhao; On the one hand, he personally commanded 100,000 troops to sit in Nansu City, ordered Angu to command 30,000 allied troops to garrison Bozhuo City, and ordered Wenshamen to command 20,000 allied troops to ensure the connection with Jili City on the east and west sides.

Liaodong Protector Wang Ting commanded Cheng Mingzhen and Agulang's 40,000 allied troops to advance eastward, united with Beji's troops to repel Doufang Lou, and approached Baishan from the east; Su Dingfang led 20,000 horsemen to break through Wenshamen in Shicheng, occupy Shicheng, approach Jili City, and threaten Baishan from the west. Gai Suwen received the report of defeat, but could not send troops, Baekje mobilized 200,000 troops to fight a decisive battle with the Sui army in Gusha City, and was defeated under the attack of heavenly thunder and other weapons, and was crushed by Luo Shixin's 10,000 iron cavalry, the whole army was defeated, and 80,000 people surrendered, Gusha City and Daoxian City were captured successively, and the Sui army had approached Sihyun, the capital of Baekje.

In addition to the Buyeo people in the upper class, there are also Koreans, Silla, Goguryeo, Wa and Han Chinese, plus the influence of Confucianism and Buddhism, the heart of war is far less than that of Goguryeo. Sure enough, on the tenth day of the Sui army's landing, the capital city of Baekje Sihyeon was captured, and the Baekje king Yici and the crown prince Long, his second son, and the defenders of De'an Fortress and Jiuzhi Lower Fortress surrendered.

Goguryeo's flanks were completely exposed to the direct attack of the Great Sui, and Xu Shiji's army captured Xincheng after a short rest, beheading more than 10,000 ranks; Xu Shiji ordered Sikong Xing, Yang Yanshi, and Qi Bi He Li to lead 50,000 Great Sui and Turkic and Khitan coalition forces to continue to attack the Goguryeo city near Liaoshui, and in less than a month, including the three big cities of Huyi, Daxing, and Buyeo, the Sui army conquered 22 cities. Gai Suwen had no choice but to send troops to raid, although he defeated Qibi He Li, but was caught by Su Dingfang's roundabout army and the heavy cavalry led by Zhang Jinshu, and was killed in a river of blood, Goguryeo lost 50,000 people and captured more than 20,000 people.

Xu Shiji took the power of a great victory, and the four cities of Lianke Jinshan, Nansu, Mudi, and Cangyan, and more than 40 cities in Fuyu Sichuan all surrendered to the wind; Gai Suwen could only order Doufang Lou and Wen Shamen to mobilize 50,000 troops to attack Fuyu City, harass the rear of the Sui army, and buy time for the defense line of the Yalu River. Unexpectedly, Xu Shiji had already prepared, and the Goguryeo army encountered the Sui army at Saheshui, and the Sui army captured more than 30,000 people and captured Daxing City by victory.

At this point, the Sui army pointed directly at the Yalu Zha, and Goguryeo actually only had two areas left, one was in the Pyongyang area between the Yalu River and the Han River, and the other was the Donggou Plain surrounded by mountains, where Goguryeo was born, and the four historical capitals of Pingyuan City, Mountain City, Domestic City, and Marudu Mountain City were all there.

Goguryeo still refused to surrender, Kan Ling led the boats of the sailors into the Yalu River, and cooperated with Qibi He Li and Yang Yanshi to cross the river, and the two sides fought a bloody battle on the Yalu River for a day and a night, Goguryeo lost more than 30,000 people, all of them were defeated, and Zhang Jinshu, who crossed the river later, chased more than 200 miles and captured Chenyi City. The defenders of the other nearby cities either fled or surrendered, and Seo Seji's army advanced to Pyongyang and surrounded Pyongyang, but unfortunately Gai Suwen escaped from Pyongyang first.

Sikong Xing's right guard was responsible for the siege of the city, and the fat water and the heavenly thunder were thrown into the city in turn, only to see that the city of Pyongyang was raging every day, and more than 200 thunderbolt cannons and return artillery bombarded day and night, but in six days, Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, was persuaded by the monk Xincheng to lead the leader of 98 people to surrender with white flags, and Gai Suwen's eldest son Quan Nanjian resisted stubbornly and was captured by Liu Renliang. After learning of Gao Jianwu's surrender, Doufang Lou and Wen Shamen led 40,000 defenders from Jili City, Pingyuan City, Mountain City, Domestic City, and Marudu Mountain City to surrender.

Xu Shiji brought the good news to Chang'an, the whole country was boiling, the firecrackers in Chang'an City rang off for a day, and a stinger in the hearts of the Great Sui people was finally pulled out; Yang Chong got off the carriage on Suzaku Street, not feeling the coldness of the north wind at all, only those joyful smiles and children chasing on the street in his consciousness, the thoughts in his head were as confused as white clouds in the sky, and for a while there was a kind of relief to unload the burden. Pei Lian, Meng Yu and others stood behind Yang Chong, sharing this rare smile together, and laughing privately from time to time, this time it was difficult for Yang Chong to refuse the vote to be the emperor again.

Yang Chong saw the crowds in front of the two shops of Xiaozhenzhai and Jiangnan Department Store, and smiled faintly, this is the result of his own discussion with Li Xiaogong, the two big stores together, it formed a street of prosperity and ushered in more customers. There is also a clock designed by Yang Chong on the roof of Jiangnan Department Store, but unfortunately it is still an ornament, according to the projection of the sun, there is a scale every half an hour, which looks beautiful, and it is still far from the mechanical clock in Yang Chong's heart. The clock was turning, although it was not a sound, Yang Chong still felt the ruthlessness of the passage of time, at this moment, Yang Chong just wanted time to stand still, and no longer face the kind of voting that the political hall was about to start.

Yang Chong felt a tingling pain, opened his eyes and found himself lying on the hospital bed, I don't know who was throwing a thread-bound "New Tang Book" on the computer at the bedside, a little nurse was hanging an infusion bottle, it seemed that she had just graduated from school, and when she saw Yang Chong wake up, she said with a smile: "You finally woke up, you were in a coma for a week, you look normal, but you can't wake up, we all thought you were going to become a vegetative person." By the way, how do you know Sister Jiang's name? ”

"Sister Jiang? Jiang Fei? Although he was still in a trance, Yang Chong could still clearly remember the familiar name; The little nurse walked out and said, "Yes, you know, I'll call her over." ”

Yang Chong only smiled bitterly, whether he had crossed back or woken up from a dream, and saw that the other empty bed in the ward was empty, Yang Chong instantly felt unusually lonely; A slender female nurse with a slender waist hurriedly walked in, walked to the bed, and looked Yang Chong up and down. The nurse took off the mask, Yang Chong was dumbfounded, Jiang Fei had a soft and moving expression in her elegant demeanor, and said with a smile: "Yang Chong, your world is like this, not bad." ”
