Then let's have a deep understanding of this "extraordinary person" in Wang Anshi's mouth and what is so extraordinary about it! Yuangai Suwen's resume name: Yuangai Suwen's aliases: Yuangaijin, Quangai Suwen, Qian Gaisuwen, Yili Ke Sumeru (Wa Guo name) Year of birth and death: 605-666 A.D. Career resume: In his early years, he inherited his father's position as a western adult; In 642, he killed Gao Jianwu and proclaimed himself Da Mo Lizhi; Main achievements: killing kings and bullying ministers, cruelty to the people, suppression of dissidents, aggression against the weak...... So what's so special about him?

Military capabilities! Yuangai Suwen is well versed in the art of war and is familiar with the way of using soldiers; He combined the geographical shape of Goguryeo and the comprehensive elements of the soldiers, and innovated a set of new tactics suitable for Goguryeo's national conditions that combined attack and defense - "Wang Ba Art of War" Wang Ba, scientific name: soft-shelled turtle, carnivorous animal, aggressive, the same kind can kill each other, sensitive to the sound of the surrounding environment, as long as there is a slight movement around, will quickly dive into the underwater mud, shrink the head and shrink the brain to protect themselves.

First of all, I declare that I do not mean anything to slander Yuan Gai Suwen, because I really cannot think of any other words that can summarize his military thoughts. Let's take a look at Yuangai Suwen's military appearance, and then consider whether this definition is suitable for him.

Whenever they saw the Tang army, Goguryeo adopted the following methods: "all closed doors and self-defense", "the city was disturbed, and no one dared to come out", "self-consolidation by the mountain", "yi stick", "stick to the ground", "goryeo is all infant city guards"...... It's basically a turtle that can't shrink! Holed up? By the way, why not call it "The Art of War"? Relatively good-sounding, 900 years later, the Korean national hero Yi Sunsin built a turtle boat and joined forces with the Ming army to defeat the Japanese naval division.

However, according to my personal knowledge of these two animals, I found that although the turtle and the king are more like to shrink their heads and brains, the king is obviously more aggressive than the turtle! When Yuan Gai Suwen faced the Tang Army, he basically hid like Wang Ba, waiting for an opportunity to attack and take a bite. But the result was that the meat was not eaten, and the teeth were broken by Tang Jun.

With this art of war, Yuangai Suwen could deal with the Tang army at the top and bully Silla at the bottom. It is really a universal art of war, because it was first invented by it, we can also call the "Wang Ba Art of War" "Yuan's Art of War", because Wang Ba is more well-known than Yuan Gai Suwen, I usually like to call it "Wang Ba Art of War".

This time, the Tang army made the first expedition to Goguryeo. The only job of Yuangai Suwen is to hide in Pyongyang and issue some useless military orders, and the battle of Anshi has nothing to do with him, it is the credit of the lord of the city! Okay, let's put an end to the introduction of Yuangai Suwen for the time being, let him have a good rest, after all, he will have nightmares next, we sympathize with him and stop bothering him. The Tang army's battle situation was summarized, and the first expedition to Goguryeo was good. But there is no complacency and pride, and after returning to China, Li Shimin has exchanged and summarized with many people on many occasions.

In the process of summarizing, Li Shimin shed tears, did one thing, evaluated a person, did a self-examination, made a mention, and wrote a book. shed a tear This time, the Tang army made the first expedition to Goguryeo, although it won a lot. But it also cost a few thousand, of which about two thousand were killed, and the rest were killed in a snowstorm on the way home and died of freezing.

This froze to death. It may be that the physique is poor, why do you say this, because Li Shimin does not have special treatment because he is the emperor, from Dingzhou in March to the present, Li Shimin has not added or decreased a single piece of clothing, whether it is in the scorching summer or the biting early winter. The accompanying minister persuaded him to change his clothes, and Li Shimin responded like this: There are many disadvantages in the sergeant's clothes, and I have the new clothes alone, but what? - "Zizhi Tongjian Volume 198" I have fulfilled my promise, and I will never leave you, even if you are unfortunately killed in battle.

Li Shimin ordered that the remains of all the soldiers who died in battle and died in the snowstorm be properly buried, and set up a prison (state funeral ceremony, in ancient times, only the Son of Heaven could use it, which is equivalent to today's flag-lowering at half-mast to mourn and read the eulogy by the president of the country), personally wrote a memorial text, to mourn the dead, read the memorial text, and the deep emotion, Li Shimin also howled and cried. The parents of the war dead saw this scene with their own eyes, and immediately said: "My son died and the Son of Heaven cried, how can I hate death!" "The people are like this, what should the king fear!

After doing one thing and returning to China, not only did the soldiers come back, but also brought back about 14,000 ordinary people in Goguryeo who had been reduced to slavery and slavery, Li Shimin couldn't bear to let their father and son and his wife separate, and the government paid for them to be ransomed into civilians and sent back to China! When the redeemed Goguryeo people heard the news, "the cheers did not cease for three days."

The people are like this, why should you worry! evaluated a person, Xue Rengui left a deep impression on Li Shimin. Although the first expedition to Goguryeo did not conquer all of the country, it is somewhat regrettable, but the appearance of Xue Rengui comforted his slightly disappointed heart, looking at this beloved general, Li Shimin said a word: All the generals are old, and the brave ones who think of the new will be as good as the Qing; I don't like Liaodong, I like Qing. Supreme evaluation, a thousand miles of land is not as good as a person! Xue Rengui did not disappoint Li Shimin, he repaid more to this emperor and this Tang Dynasty.

To repay the kindness of the Holy Father. If you are good, you have something to rely on! I made a self-examination When observing the situation of Gao Yanshou's army on the top of the mountain on the occasion of the Battle of Zhushan Mountain, Li Daozong proposed a proposal to Li Shimin: Yuangai Suwen is pouring into the country, Pyongyang must be empty in defense, as long as I give me 5,000 elite soldiers, I will attack Pyongyang, and Goguryeo will definitely surrender. This coincides with Li Shimin's "leapfrog jumping tactics".

It's a pity that Li Shimin, who was concentrating at the time, didn't hear it. In February 646, when he returned to Beijing, Li Shimin expressed his regret and apologies to Li Daozong! Face up to your mistakes, Jun Yong also! In 647 A.D., he once again conquest of Goguryeo and Li Shimin convened a military conference.

In the end, the ministers have been building: the cities of Goguryeo are all built on the mountains, and it is difficult to overcome quickly, so it is better to continue to send troops to Goguryeo to harass them, fight here today, fight there tomorrow, anyway, there is no specific goal, and you can be happy as you like, the purpose is to make the Goguryeo army exhausted, and the purpose is to drag you down.

This trick has a technical term in the Chinese People's Liberation Army "mushroom tactics". Grind you to death! Count more wins, and Junzhi also! After writing a book and returning from Goguryeo, Li Shimin wrote a book "Emperor Fan", the whole book has a lot of content, I only pick out one sentence of it, let's take a look: "Although China is safe, forget the war and perish" - "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries" Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and you will know also! Fearless, worry-free, dependent, brave, wise, and knowledgeable, Goryeo is in danger!

"There will be a heart of death, and the soldier will have no greedy thoughts!" At this time. Not to mention launching another attack, even if the Baekje army beats the drums of war, I am afraid that it will also disperse in a hurry. At the critical moment, the younger brother of the Silla general Kim Yuxin, the general Qin Chun, called his son Pan Qu. He said to him, "As a courtier, you must be loyal to your country; As a son, he has to do his filial piety for his father, and now the situation is critical, and he can only die to die. In order to be loyal and filial. ”

Child, don't blame your father for being ruthless, the chance of success or failure is in one fell swoop! In the face of his father, who let him die, this son did not hesitate, and Shi Zai "entered the battle and fought to the death!" "Seeing that the high-ranking general knew that he was dead, and let his son continue to attack, the Silla soldiers were shocked! The power of example is endless!

After the death of Panqu Li in battle, the Silla Zuo general Pinil. He also called out to his son, and Pin-il pointed to his son and said to the Silla generals who were still in shock: My son is only sixteen years old, and today, I will let him set an example for our army! Similarly, without any hesitation, the official single-handedly rushed straight into the enemy formation and fought hard to kill, however, only the tiger was difficult to defeat the wolves. The official was captured by the Baekje soldiers.

The Baekje general Jiebo cherished his courage and couldn't bear to harm him, so he sighed: Silla is invincible, and the little boy is so brave. Not to mention the rest of the able-bodied! He put the official certificate back.

That's enough, official, you have set an example for the three armies, you can step down like this. However, if he steps down, he may not go down in history! The official certificate that was put back. When he came to his father's side, he shouted in front of everyone: "I rushed into the enemy line, but I did not kill the flag and capture the flag, not because I was afraid of death!" After saying that, the official turned on his horse again and rushed into the enemy line with one gun...... This time, he fulfilled the official warrant, captured him, and then tied the head of the official warrant to the saddle and sent him back to the Silla military formation.

Holding back the grief of losing his parents and children, Pin Ri held his son's head, stained his clothes with blood, and said to the three armies whose morale was gradually rising: My son can be loyal to the country, it is enough! It was his pleasure! Fight and die! Fight again, die! It's all mortal! As a general, as an example! No more need to say anything! No more mobilization!

The infected Silla army charged again, and this time not only defeated the Baekje army, but also annihilated them completely! None of them are missed! Including Baekje General Jiebo! Only Zuo Ping Zhongchang and other twenty people were captured before they had time to commit suicide! Silla won, but the 5,000 people of Baekje could sing and weep!

Especially represented by the general Jiebo, he was worried that after his death, his wife and children would be captured and insulted, and before he died, he would also kill them all! The country is gone! What is the use of a small family alone! In that era of war, no one could tell who was right and who was wrong, who was right and who was evil. For ordinary soldiers, they are just tools for the monarch to "conquer the world", and they have no choice! However, whether it is the Baekje soldiers or the Silla soldiers, their belief is: the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!

All they can do is: fight on the battlefield, Horse Leather Shroud! Soldiers have always been a symbol of national strength! The general has always been the object of the confidence of the army! The last line of defense has been breached, and on July 12, the Tang and Xin coalition forces met under the city of Sixian! At this time, the palace of Baekje was already in chaos, the army had been defeated, the capital had been surrounded, some advocated fleeing, some advocated holding on, and the people were panicking! After some discussion, they decided to send an envoy to ask the Don army to withdraw its troops.

Within a day, the king of Baekje sent three envoys in succession, saying that Baekje had realized his mistake and asked the Tang army to withdraw its troops. It's a pity that they don't know that this time Datang is not here to ask Baekje to admit his mistake, but to ask for Baekje's life!

On July 13, the peace sue failed, and the princes and ministers made a mess again, and finally the king of Baekje, Fuyu Yici, took the crown prince Fuyu Xiao to secretly escape out of the city at night to Xiongjin City, Yici did not know, his escape, saved the Tang army a lot of trouble.

Prince Fuyu Tai, Fuyu Long, Wang Sun Fuyu Wensi and others stayed and continued to hold on. It stands to reason that this arrangement is not bad, Buyeo Tai and others stick to the national capital, and the king Fuyu Yici waits to convene the division of King Qin in the field, and he can still carry it for a while. After all, although the national capital is in danger, the crown prince is still there, as long as he can organize people again, hold on, and wait for the Tang army to run out of food, he can still ease his strength and come to Dongshan to make a comeback. It's a pity that Buyeo Yici entrusted him to be a non-human, and as soon as he ran out on the front foot, his son Buyeo Tai set himself up as the king of Baekje on the back foot, and his father was elevated. Now, I'm dumbfounded! The external enemy did not retreat, but the internal chaos was the first.

The first to figure out the clue was the prince's son Fuyu Wensi, Fuyu Wensi saw this situation, and said to Fuyu Long: The king and the prince have fled, but Uncle Tai has made himself king, if the Tang army withdraws, then our lives will not be in danger?

As soon as the two of them were combined, they simply went out of the city and surrendered, so the two of them left the city overnight and ran to the Tang army camp. The people in Siyu City are also more aware of current affairs, and when they saw that the princes and grandsons had surrendered, they knew that it was useless to resist any longer, and they also went out of the city to surrender.

Everyone is gone, what are you holding onto? Why hold on? So Buyeo Tai, who had just become the king of Baekje, was not on the throne yet, and he was out of the city with his heels, why did he go?

Surrender! On July 18, after suffering all the way, the king of Baekje, Fuyu Yici and others, who had just run to Xiongjin Fortress, heard that Sihyun had surrendered the city before they could catch their breath. Gotcha! Ran so far and in vain! The national capital was occupied, and the Tang army had a base, so strategies such as summoning the army of King Qin, clearing the walls and fortifying the fields, and waiting for the time to make a comeback did not work.

Surrender directly! The king of Baekje, Buyeo Yoshiki, with the crown prince Buyeo Hyo and many civil and military generals, returned to Siyu from Xiongjin City all the way back to Siyu and surrendered to the Tang army! It's back and forth! On July 18, 660 A.D., Baekje died after 31 kings and 678 years of success!

After arranging the aftermath, Su Dingfang, the general of Xingguogong, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, and the chief of the march of Shenqiu Dao, Su Dingfang, took the Baekje king Buyeo Yici, the crown prince Buyeo Hyo, the prince Buyeo Long (who also appeared), Buyeo Tai, Buyeo Yan, and 88 ministers of the Baekje princes, as well as 12,807 people, returned to China by boat from Sihyun.
