People are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth, because God is punishing. Laihu'er encountered a failed strategy and suffered heavy losses. The other Ninth Route armies led by Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu also fell for this strategy and didn't find out.
The army of Yu Wenshu and others carried the grain and grass used for a hundred days, as well as platoon armor, guns, clothing, military equipment, and fire curtains, which were too heavy to bear. Ordered the army: "Those who abandon rice millet will be beheaded!" "The soldiers all dug pits under the curtain and buried the grain and grass, but they were only halfway there, and the grain and grass were almost exhausted.
Goguryeo sent its minister Ulji Wendeok to deceive the surrender and observe the reality of the Sui army. Yu Zhongwen of the Sui Dynasty wanted to take the opportunity to catch Yizhi Wende, but was stopped by Liu Shilong. After Yu Zhongwen let go of Ezhi Wende, he regretted it again and decided to pursue Ezhi Wende.
Yizhi Wende saw that the soldiers of the Sui army were hungry, so he wanted to make them more tired, and he was defeated and withdrawn every time he engaged. Yuwenshu won seven battles in one day, continued his advance, and crossed the Sasui. Eulzhi Wende once again sent an envoy to deceive him. Yu Wenshu saw that the Sui soldiers were tired and could no longer fight, so he took the opportunity to retreat.
There was no problem with this decision, but Yuwenshu forgot that they all threw away all their baggage, ate and drank without eating, and chased all the way, and now they retreated in vain, and their physical strength and morale were all reduced to the minimum.
But Eulzhi Wende did not forget, this was what he had to do, so after Yuwenshu ordered the troops to retreat, Eulzhi Wende ordered the Goguryeo army to attack from all sides, and when crossing the Sashui, he attacked halfway again, and Xin Shixiong, the general of the Sui Dynasty's Zuotun Guard, was killed, and the Sui soldiers were defeated.
Just like Niu Jinda, Wu Yuanqing led 10,000 cavalry to defeat 200,000 Tubo troops, and he could kill and capture tens of thousands of people.
The 305,000 Sui army did not even have a fraction left when it returned to Liaodong City, only less than 2,700 people, and tens of thousands of supplies, weapons, and ordnance were also lost.
A chaotic life that killed 300,000 people, and labored millions of people, wasted a year's farming. It also opened the late Sui Dynasty thirteen roads against the king, the twenty-sixth road smoke and dust of the peasants, gate valves, and powerful uprisings.
Wang Bo's song of death without a wave in Liaodong made the great rivers and mountains that had been stable for decades in the Great Sui Dynasty rise in smoke.
However, Emperor Yang of Sui did not give up, and two years later began a second expedition against Goguryeo.
This time everything went very smoothly, and it hit the city of Liaodong again, but when it was about to break through the city, there was a fire in the backyard, and Yang Xuangan, who supervised the transportation of grain and grass, rebelled.
As a result, Emperor Yang of Sui had no choice but to withdraw again.
After returning home, he killed the rebellious Yang Xuangan, and Emperor Yang of Sui, who was unwilling to fail, conquered Goguryeo again.
However, rebellions broke out in the country, and the soldiers fled one after another on the road, and the blood of the overseers could not be stopped. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty drove to Huaiyuan Town, most of the conscripted troops failed to arrive on time, Goguryeo was also in trouble, the Sui Dynasty came to Hu'er to take the opportunity to march to Pyongyang, Goguryeo King Gao Yuan was afraid, so he sent an envoy to surrender, imprisoned and sent back to Hu Sizheng.
Emperor Yang of Sui didn't want to fight anymore, so Goguryeo asked him to surrender face, and he just got off the donkey and retreated again.
In the entire Sui Dynasty, the people were wasted and the money was lost, and the four expeditions failed to take Goguryeo, which has to be said to be the sorrow of the Great Sui and the sorrow of the people.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was said to have beaten away the Huns and raised the prestige of the Han Dynasty, but the two generations of emperors of the Sui Dynasty only fell into a ruined country, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was even more stinking for 10,000 years, becoming a model of the king of the dead country, the faint king, and the tyrant.
After returning to China, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo King Gao Yuan into the court, but Gao Yuan did not come, Emperor Yang of Sui was furious and prepared to conquer Goguryeo for the fourth time, but in the end it did not take place due to the erosion of the war situation in the country.
Goguryeo ostensibly submitted to the court, but did not enter the court according to the orders of Emperor Yang of Sui, and captured a large number of Sui people and did not let them go. Later, when the people of the Central Plains went to Goguryeo, they would often encounter "Sui people who looked at it and cried, all over the countryside".
That's it, Goguryeo also piled up the bones of the Sui Dynasty soldiers who had died in battle on the banks of the Liao River and built a number of huge Jingguan to show off Goguryeo's martial arts.
The Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty, and naturally inherited the humiliation of the Sui Dynasty. And when the Tang Dynasty was established, the king of Goguryeo also changed, Emperor Yang of Sui hung up, and his father and the king of Yingyang, who had been with him all his life, also hung up, and Gao Jianwu, the king of Rongliu, came to power.
The Tang Dynasty was newly established, and there were still warlords in the country, so that Wang Bi would settle down first, so he didn't want to renew his previous feud with Goguryeo.
And Goguryeo, a small country, was killed four times by the Sui Dynasty, if it weren't for the favorable time, place, and people were not on the side of the Sui Dynasty, it would have been destroyed when Emperor Wen of Sui conquered, where would Emperor Yang of Sui still be used.
If it weren't for Emperor Yang of Sui's order, he would have conquered Goguryeo for the first time, and if Yang Xuangan had not rebelled for the second time, it would have been destroyed. The third time, if Goguryeo hadn't admitted defeat quickly, Emperor Yang of Sui wouldn't have wanted to fight, and he didn't listen to Hu'er's advice to continue the campaign, and Goguryeo would still be destroyed.
Goguryeo was able to live until the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, not that his country was powerful, but that the fate of the Sui Dynasty was not good, and it always encountered very strange things.
But after several wars, Goguryeo was also tired, the people were bored, and Goguryeo was also war-weary, so the new one who came to power was not the descendants of the king of Yingyang, but another branch of Gao Jianwu came to power as the king of Goguryeo, and the relationship with the Great Tang was named the king of Rongliu.
It's just that the enmity of the past cannot be forgotten.
Li Shimin remembered this revenge, but he didn't think about revenge, he just wanted to recover the bones of the soldiers lost in Goguryeo in the Sui Dynasty and destroy the Jingguan of Goguryeo to show off his martial arts, in order to make a gesture to appease the families of the war dead in the country, comfort the dead, and of course, also have the intention of deterring Goguryeo and reshaping the majesty of the suzerain.
However, the Goguryeo people, who were suffering from persecution paranoia, especially their king Rongliuwang, immediately remembered the grievances and grievances with the Sui Dynasty, and felt like a frightened bird that the Tang Dynasty wanted to snow the Sui Dynasty's shame, and the destruction of Jingguan was a signal to declare war on Goguryeo.
So, since then, King Rongliu has cut off frequent contacts with the Tang Dynasty, not only that, but also from the northeast to Fuyu City, southwest to the sea began to build a thousand miles of the Great Wall, in order to resist the Tang Dynasty.
In this situation where Goguryeo was obviously preparing for war, their domestic grain merchants bought a huge amount of grain from the Tang Dynasty, so they had to think deeply about whether Goguryeo was making war reserves.
Is that going to use troops against Datang in the near future or something else?
Wu Yuanqing wasn't sure, he decided to take a closer look and learn more.
