Goguryeo faced my Tang Dynasty, what he could do was to defend, it was not a problem, and he could clean it up at any time; And Hui Hui is here to commit a crime! Inaction is not a no! So Gaozong Li Zhi quickly transferred back the two armies of Qibi He Li and Xiao Siye from the front line in Pyongyang, and went to meet the enemy with Zheng Rentai, the general of Zuo Wuwei, Xue Rengui and others! Why did he transfer Qi He Li and Xiao Siye back?

As I said when I introduced He Li of Qibi earlier, He Li is the Tiele clan, and he is the same clan as Hui, Tongluo, and Fugu, knowing himself and knowing his opponent, as well as old acquaintances, and it is easy to fight! Xiao Siye, 15 years ago, he pacified Xue Yantuo (also a Tiele clan) with Li Shixian, and he is also familiar with the desert environment and enemy situation, and he is easy to use! So, on the battlefield of Goguryeo, in addition to Su Dingfang, the land army was left with Ren Yaxiang, Pang Xiaotai and other commanders-in-chief, in fact, there was another person - Cheng Mingzhen, who conquered Shabei City.

However, there is no information about Cheng Mingzhen in this battle, and even his name has not appeared, indicating that Cheng Mingzhen did not have a decent battle or capture at all! I don't want to, I won't, I don't dare to make up history! No is no! Then let's focus on Su Dingfang, Ren Yaxiang, and Pang Xiaotai.

Let's look at Ren Yaxiang first, "In February of the second year of Longshuo (662 AD), Jiaxu, the general manager of Hunjiang Province, Ren Yaxiang was in the army" Ren Yaxiang died of illness! For the general, knowing that he can't do it, is for loyalty! Look at Pang Xiaotai again! As I said in the previous section, Pang Xiaotai should establish a biography, at least enter the Zhongyi Biography (the so-called Zhongyi Biography is an exclusive biography of a person whose merits are not enough to be a biography, but who sacrificed his life for the country and was heroic).

Pang Xiaotai, there have been two times in historical materials, the first time was in the Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's "six years of Wude (623 AD), in April, Nanzhou assassinated Shi Pang Xiaotai and trapped Nanyue Prefecture" and then ...... There was no more follow-up, until 39 years later, and now the head of the march of the Wo Fu Dao!

In the unattributed account, it is shown that Pang Xiaotai was born in 601 AD. But it's basically credible, Pang Xiaotai is now a veteran of the sixtieth century! once rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and now he is fighting for the Tang Dynasty, which shows that he has not been punished for betraying the Tang Dynasty! Next table xiàn. It will prove that he is repaying Datang and repaying Datang's kindness! Pang Xiaotai took 5,000 Guangxi soldiers to a suburb of Pyongyang called Snake Water. (The geographical chronicle of the "History of the Three Kingdoms" has not found this place, and there is no test)! Born and raised in Yantai, I am not used to the early winter in the Northeast in October! Tang Bing was born and grew up in Guangxi. I'm definitely not used to the cold winter in the Northeast in February! Pang Hyo-tae with 5,000 soldiers encountered the Goguryeo army! The number of Goguryeo troops is unknown, but it should be more than the Tang army, and in the face of the Tang army, whose combat effectiveness is far above its own, it is probably at least five times more than five times that of the Tang army to "encircle" it.

After all, when I was stationed in the mountain,

The tragic image of 150,000 troops being defeated by 30,000 Tang troops in one fell swoop must still be fresh in the minds of Goguryeo soldiers!

5,000 Tang troops were surrounded, the water and soil were not adapted, and the enemy was outnumbered. The winner is decided! The subordinate generals advocated an immediate breakthrough and a rendezvous with friendly forces. Wait for the opportunity! Pang Xiaotai must have recalled that 39 years ago, Datang was grateful to him, betrayed and was not responsible, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility!

Pang Xiaotai said the reason why he was reluctant to break through: "I served the Tang Dynasty for two generations (suspected to be wrong, it is actually three generations, Gaozu, Taizong, and Gaozong), and I have been blessed (if I am at fault, that is, I have betrayed the Tang Dynasty), and Goryeo will not be destroyed, and I will not pay it back!" And then. The chief steward of the wise man said: "Leading more than 5,000 people in the township, and now they are all dead, how can they seek their own life and evil!" Pang Hyo-tae led his army to rush towards the swarming Goguryeo army.

Shi Zai "did not raise an army, and his sons thirteen people. All killed! "Although I was defeated, I spilled my blood on the battlefield and served the country with my body! I have repaid the favor that this prosperous empire has given me with my practical actions! The great Korean national hero Yuan Gai Suwen finally swung a sword in person and achieved the first complete victory over the Tang army in history! At the same time, it is also the last time! The last battle, Su Dingfang! The land armies were withdrawn one after another. Su Dingfang continued to besiege Pyongyang! Su Dingfang, who lost the support of the army, began to have the problem of lack of food and grass, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army was, it was not a god, it was a human!

It's people who have to eat, and horses who have to eat grass! As the capital of Goguryeo, Pyongyang was naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it could only be besieged for a long time to force it to surrender. Therefore, the problem of logistics supply has become the first problem to be solved at present! Today, in Pyongyang in February, the average temperature is minus 8 degrees Celsius.

Regardless of the effects of climate warming, the temperature in Pyongyang was at least minus 10 degrees Celsius 1,400 years ago. The Hunjiang River is probably frozen, so it is not realistic to rely on water and land to transport grain. Don't worry, my Datang still has a "little brother" on the Korean Peninsula - Silla! Datang immediately ordered Silla to rush to the front line in Pyongyang to deliver grain and grass.

At this time, Silla was obedient to the Tang Dynasty and bowed to orders! After receiving the order, King Kim Phomin of Silla attached great importance to it and immediately carried it out, prepared more than 2,000 vehicles, and sent his confidant General Kim Yushin and others to personally escort him to Pyongyang. If this scene can continue, Su Dingfang will definitely be able to destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop, thus breaking the record of "destroying the Three Kingdoms before and after" held by himself!

Helpless, this little brother of Silla, has the determination to do things, but the ability to do things is doubtful! As a country on the Korean Peninsula, it is reasonable to be familiar with the geography and temperature of the Korean Peninsula, but during the transportation of grain and grass, there was a situation where "many people and horses froze to death!"

- Hey, this organizational ability! No wonder I'm always being bullied and beaten to the point that I'm unbearable! Blame whom? Silla, we have too much hope! The sky will not destroy Goguryeo! This year's winter is extremely cold, and even the Silla people and horses are "freezing to death", so how can our precious Datang soldiers die unjustly in the blizzard. So, the helpless Su Dingfang withdrew from the siege and returned!

Su Dingfang has no regrets! His record will still be a world record, unbroken, including himself! Goguryeo escaped again! However, don't be happy, and you won't live long! It's only been six years! It's mine, I can't even run away! It's mine, I can't hide from it! I'll be back in Datang! When you look back, you Goguryeo will only be able to save it in the annals of history

In 666 A.D., the brothers were on the wall, and Yuan Gai Suwen died! Since ancient times, there has been a conclusion that the coffin is closed, and the life of Yuan Gai Suwen can be regarded as a tragic life! There are two main glorious deeds he left in the history of North Korea, one is the brutal murder of the king, what kind of cruelty is it?

After killing the Goguryeo king Gao Jianwu, he brutally dismembered the corpse and discarded it in a ditch; This second deed is a bit of a head-scratcher. The second deed is to successfully resist the Tang Dynasty's attempt to destroy Goguryeo. After writing so much of the above, everyone can also see the reason why Tang's two expeditions to Goguryeo failed. It's really nothing to do.

The first expedition to Goguryeo, if there is merit, it is the credit of the city lord of Ren'an City; After conquering Goguryeo again, the Tang army came to Pyongyang without much effort. If it weren't for the heavy snowfall and extremely low temperature, I am afraid that he would have died directly. The battle personally commanded by Yuangai Suwen is also the Battle of Snake Water in the annals of history, which completely annihilated Pang Xiaotai's 5,000 Guangxi soldiers who were not accustomed to water and soil!

Yuangai Suwen. You say that he doesn't understand military affairs, and you have wronged him a little, after all, he created a set of Goguryeo's "Eight Kings War Method"; Do you want to say that he understands military affairs and can fight? Alas...... It is undeniable that Yuangai Suwen is a capable person, otherwise it would be impossible to be regent for 24 years without harm! He's a capable man, but only for his own people! In the words of the Chinese, he is a "nest" person!

Yuangai Suwen is finally dead and relieved! Don't have nightmares because of Datang's harassment anymore! He was relieved. But the story of his descendants, his Goguryeo, still has to go on! Yuangai Suwen had three sons, the eldest son, Yuangai boy (that is, the Yuangai boy who guarded the Yalu River in verse 2), the second son, Yuannanjian, and the third son, Yuannan! His three sons are all more individual! The eldest son, Yuan boy, knows the current affairs! The second son, Yuan Nanjian, is bloody! Sanziyuan is a male child, good at speculation!

When Yuan Gai Suwen died, the arrangement was very good, and the eldest son, Yuan Nan, inherited the position of Da Mo Lizhi. They continued to be regent of the Yuan clan and controlled the de facto rule of Goguryeo. However, the arrangement is the arrangement, but the execution is another matter. What is the situation? Let me give you an example, it will be clear to everyone: Tang Gaozu Li Yuanli eldest son Li Jiancheng became the crown prince. As a result, the second son Li Shimin was not convinced, and killed Li Jiancheng and his brother Li Yuanji, which was for the "Xuanwumen Change"! Yuan Nanjian, the second son of Yuan Gai Suwen, may also know about this "Xuanwumen Change", and as soon as he was fooled, he also wanted to make a "Pyongyang Change"!

Here's how it goes! After the Yuan boy inherited the position of Da Mo Lizhi, the new official took office. I always have to inspect everywhere, one is to establish my own status; The second is to familiarize yourself with the national conditions by the way. His arrangement is really harmful to himself and others, and it is also beneficial to two groups of people! Yuan Nan Nan left Pyongyang and went to various places to inspect, leaving his two younger brothers, Yuan Nanjian and Yuan Nansan, to act as state officials in the national capital.

I believe that when Yuangai Suwen was alive, his three sons must have fought openly and secretly for the right to inherit, and ganged up; And the princes and ministers of Goguryeo must have speculated for the sake of their future prospects.

In the constant struggle for inheritance, they gradually formed two factions, one was the eldest son, Yuan boy's faction;

One is the Yuan Male Construction and the Yuan Male Production School! As soon as the Yuan boy left the capital to inspect on the front foot, someone came to Yuan Nanjian and Yuan Nan to flicker: When the Yuan boy was fighting for the inheritance before, the Yuan boy was suffering from the competition between your two younger brothers, and he always held a grudge, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of the two of you.

It's better to strike first! Those who understand a little bit of reason will know that this is a naked rumor! Competition is inevitable, but it is groundless to want to get rid of the two brothers! If the Yuan boy really "holds a grudge and wants to get rid of" the two brothers, how can he still rest assured that they will act as the national government? Fortunately, Yuan Nanjian and Yuan Nan didn't believe it! Yuan Nanjian and Yuan Male Sex must have offended people!

The unwilling good deeds ran to the side of the Yuan boy who was out on patrol to spread rumors: Your two younger brothers are afraid that you will seize their power after returning to the capital, and they plan to close the gate of the national capital and not let you go back!

Luckily, the boy didn't believe it either! However, although he did not believe the rumors, he was still not at ease, so he did an extremely lame thing: secretly sent a close confidant back to Pyongyang to investigate and monitor the situation of the two brothers by the way. Unexpectedly, this cronie of his was very ineffective, and he was arrested by the two brothers.

This time it's over, and the boy has ruined the trust between the brothers with his own hands! "They sent someone to spy on us!" So Yuan Nanjian set himself up as the Great Mo Branch, and returned to Beijing with his younger brother Yuan Nan in the name of the King of Goguryeo! The Yuan boy is not stupid, he definitely doesn't dare to go back! The contradiction is made public, and the rumors come true!

Yuan Nanjian first killed Yuan Xianzhong, the son of Yuan Nan, who stayed in the national capital! Then send troops to attack the Yuan boys! As soon as Yuan Nan saw this posture, he ran directly to the domestic city (near present-day Ji'an, Jilin), and gathered the armies of the Yan and Khitan tribes to fight against Yuan Nanjian. The brother betrayed, the son was killed!

The Yuan boy is very familiar with current affairs, so he simply surrendered to Datang! The angry Yuan boy asked his other son, Yuan Xiancheng, to come to Chang'an to express his submission and beg for reinforcements! Yuan Xiancheng came to Chang'an and made a detailed report to Gaozong about the events before and after, hoping that Gaozong could call the shots, after all, nominally, I, Goguryeo, am still your subject country, and the subject country is unstable, and the suzerain's country has the responsibility to discipline it.

The reason why Yuan boy was willing to submit to the Tang Dynasty at this time, in addition to being cornered by his brothers, there was another important reason: the domestic situation in Goguryeo was stable, and Yuan Gai Suwen was still alive, and it was difficult to resist the last blow of the Tang Dynasty; Now that the high-level is separated from the infighting, the people are not happy, if the Tang Dynasty comes to attack, the country will die! The Yuan boy analyzes the shape more thoroughly and sees it more clearly! By the way, in addition to the Yuan boys, there is also a pivotal figure in Goguryeo who is also very knowledgeable about current affairs - the younger brother of Yuan Gai Suwen and the uncle of the Yuan boy - Yuan Pure Land, who also "cut the land and ask for surrender".

After seeing the chaotic situation in the country, Wonjo-do was a high-ranking general guarding the southern border of Goguryeo, and surrendered to Silla with "12 cities, 763 households, 3,543 people, and 24 subordinate officials." Of course, as the suzerain, the Tang Dynasty has every reason to record it in its own history books: "Gaisu Wendi's Pure Land is also requested to cede the land." It is my Datang who descends, and the sovereignty of your Silla is not autonomous!

Goguryeo is in chaos, don't take it now, let alone when! On the seventh day of June 666, Gaozong Li Zhi immediately formed the advance army of the three expeditions to Goguryeo: with the right Xiaowei general Qibi He Li as the ambassador of Liaodong Province as the commander of the advance army, and Yuan Xiancheng as the general of the right Wuwei, as the guide of the advance army, led the troops to rescue the Yuan boys, met in advance, and then moved later! In addition, Pang Tongshan, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and Gao Wei, the governor of Yingzhou, were the marching chiefs, and they attacked Goguryeo with the army. After the advance army set off, the emperor made a very wise arrangement and sent Xue Rengui, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and Li Jinxing, the general of Zuo Jianmen, to lead the army as backup!
