In the first year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang appointed Liu Fang as the head of the march of the Canzhou Road, and Li Gang, the right Cheng of Shangshu, was responsible for the invasion of Linyi. Prior to this, General Liu Fang had already leveled Cochin (present-day Hanoi, Vietnam).

In the first month of 605 A.D. (the first year of the Great Cause), Liu Fang led the main force of the Zhou Division to Haikou (the place where Linyi enters the sea).

Linyi Wang Fanzhi sent troops to resist dangerously, but was routed and fled by the Sui army. In March, Liu Fang led his army to the Yanli River, and the Linyi people erected a fence on the south bank in an attempt to prevent the Sui army from crossing the river.

Liu Fang ordered the soldiers to hold the banner and march with the golden drum. The Sui army waved its banners and drums shook the sky, and the powerful formation and military might completely frightened the people of Linyi and fled. Liu Fang then commanded his army to cross the Yanli River. Thirty miles away, the people of Linyi rode elephants and gathered from all directions.

Vainly attempted to fight a decisive battle with the Sui army and shocked the Sui army. Liu Fang hurriedly ordered the soldiers to shoot the elephants with strong crossbows, and the elephants were shot one after another and were injured and fled, and the army of the Linyi people was trampled and rushed by the wounded elephants. Liu Fang took advantage of the situation to command the elite soldiers to attack, and the Lin Yi army was scattered. The Sui army launched a fierce attack on all fronts and won a complete victory, but the number of prisoners captured was tens of thousands.

The battle was magnificent, the scene was grand, and the Sui army was brave and good at fighting, showing fearless heroism. Liu Fang led the army to pursue all the way to the south, winning many battles and being invincible. So Ji District Su, six miles, before and after the thief, every battle must be captured.

The Sui army entered the Dayuan River, and the people of Linyi were broken again. and chased south of the copper pillar of Ma Yuan.

The Sui army then pursued south for another eight days, and finally reached the capital of the Linyi people. In the summer, in April, Linyi Wang Fanzhi was forced to abandon the city and flee to the sea.

Liu Fang led the Sui army into the capital of Linyi and captured eighteen tablets of the temple owner made of gold by the people of Linyi.

& Its temple owner Jin Ren, polluted its palace room, carved stone and returned. "Liu Fang ordered the stone to be carved to record the merits of this expedition, and then the class returned to the court. This time, the Sui army went too deep into the south and fought for several months, from winter to summer.

On the way back to Korea, the soldiers of the Sui army were not adapted to the hot and humid climate in the south, and many of the soldiers contracted diseases, and some of the soldiers had swollen feet and died four or five out of ten. General Liu Fang also contracted an illness and unfortunately died in the Hui Army.

Emperor Yang was very sad when he learned the news, and he regretted it, and issued an edict to praise General Liu Fang. The edict said: "Fang Su undertakes the temple strategy, respectfully travels to the sky, drinks ice and turbulence, and sees the danger as if it were a disaster."

Destroying the front, by surprise, the whale salamander was killed, the nest was salty, the service was no longer labored, and the overseas was cleared. To the king, the sincerity is commendable, and it can be given to the Zhu Guo and Lu Guogong. ”

General Liu Fang's expedition to Linyi was the southernmost expedition of the first squadron in history, which not only thwarted the attack of the majestic elephant army, but also captured the capital of a foreign country, which was a rare authentic aggression in Chinese history.

shocked the South China Sea Barbarians, and since then has paid tribute to the Sui Dynasty. This is the glory of China and the glory of China's ancient history. In the book "Northern History" and "Book of Sui", it is said: "Liu Fang's orders are selfless, the army is strictly governed, the forest is cut, the South China Sea is cleared, and the barbarians outside the country are unconvinced." "4. Taming the Khitan In 605 A.D. (the first year of the Great Cause), the Khitans invaded Yingzhou.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Wei Yunqi, a general adviser, to lead the Turkic soldiers to crusade against the Khitan. The Turkic Qimin Khan sent 20,000 cavalry to obey the command of Wei Yunqi to attack the Khitan. Wei Yunqi divided the 20,000 Turkic cavalry into twenty battalions and marched together in four directions. Each battalion is one mile apart and shall not be mixed.

Listen to the sound of drums and stop. Wei Yunqi ordered that horses should not be galloped without official dispatch, and during the march, a Turkic Ugan violated Wei Yunqi's military order, and was beheaded by Wei Yunqi and held his head for public display.

From then on, the Turkic generals visited Wei Yunqi, and they all trembled on their knees, and they didn't dare to look up. The Khitan was originally dependent on the Turks, so they did not have much suspicion and precaution against the Turkic cavalry.

After Wei Yunqi led his army into Khitan territory, he asked the Turkic soldiers to falsely claim that they were going to Liucheng (now Chaoyangnan, Liaoning) to trade with the Goryeo, and strictly ordered those who dared to reveal that there were Sui envoys in the camp to behead. The Khitans were unguarded, and Wei Yunqi led the Turkic army to advance to a distance of a hundred miles from the Khitan camp and then pretended to turn south to deceive the Khitans.

At night, he led the army back and continued to march towards the Khitan camp. Only fifty miles away from the Khitan camp, Wei Yunqi ordered his troops to camp in formation.

The sky was just dawning, and the Khitan was still asleep. Wei Yunqi ordered 20,000 cavalry to gallop together and suddenly launched an attack on the Khitan camp. The results can be imagined, and the results are brilliant. "Forty thousand men and women were obtained, and half of the women and livestock were given to the Turks, and the rest of the generals entered the court, and the men were killed."

Since then, the Khitans have been obedient to the Sui Dynasty and have continued to pay tribute. Wei Yunqi rewarded the Turks with half of the captured Khitan women and livestock, and brought the rest of the "victories" back to the Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he gathered hundreds of officials and said happily: "Yunqi used the Turks to level the Khitan, and he was a strange teacher, talented and civil and military, and set up a court, and I personally (recommended) it." "Wei Yunqi was promoted to the rank of secretary and servant.

Wei Yunqi went to the Turks alone to borrow 20,000 troops and used stratagem to defeat the Khitans, which can be called brave and strategic. Such generals and deeds are "unprecedented and unprecedented" in Chinese history. The ancients said: "The one who counts the barbarians with barbarians" is also.

Emperor Yang Guang only sent one person, and he achieved the brilliant result of capturing 40,000 enemies. The use of the Turks to defeat the Khitans has developed China's strategic policy of "using Hu to control Hu" to the extreme

& Insult Stream Quest may be the Ryukyu Islands of today's Japan, or it may be the island of Taiwan. In 607 A.D. (the third year of the Great Cause), Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Zhu Kuan, the captain of the Yu Cavalry, to enter the sea to visit the foreign customs and arrive in Liuqiu. Because of the incomprehensible speech, he seized one of them, took his cloth and returned it.

The following year, Emperor Yang sent Zhu Kuan to Liuqiu to recruit surrender, but Liuqiu refused. So he sent Ben Lang to send Chen Liang and the court's doctors, Zhang Zhen, Zhou Fa, and more than 10,000 Dongyang soldiers from Yi'an.

The Sui army sailed by sea for more than a month before arriving in the country of Liuqiu. The Liuqiu people began to see the ships of the Sui Dynasty, thinking that they were merchant travelers and were trading with them. Chen Liang led a large army to land along the land. Chen Liang once recruited soldiers from the countries of the South China Sea, and some of them were Kunlun people who could understand the language.

So Chen Liang sent him to appease. refusing to obey and refusing to rebel against the officers and soldiers. Chen Liang ordered Zhang Zhenzhou to be the vanguard of the offensive flow and ask for help. The king of Liuqiu, Huan Si, sent troops to fight against the Sui army, and was frequently defeated by Zhang Zhenzhou.

Chen Liang led the main force to enter the low Wutan Cave, and begged the old model of Xiao Wang Huansi to lead the army to fight, but was defeated by Chen Liang and beheaded the old model of Huansi. So the army of the Sui Dynasty was divided into five armies, all the way to the capital of Liuqiu.

The king of Liuqiu, Huan Si, was thirsty and was forced to fight in person, and was defeated by the Sui army. The Sui army then attacked the capital of the Liuqiu country, and pursued it to the Liuqiu army gate and attacked it.

The Sui army beheaded the king of Liuqiu, Huan Si Thirsty Thorn, captured his son Dao Hammer, and destroyed Liuqiu's palace. "In February, Wu Benlang sent Chen Ling and the court doctor Zhang Zhenzhou to try to break it. Seventeen thousand prisoners. Chen Ling brought the Liuqiu people back to the Sui Dynasty.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was overjoyed, and awarded the Liuqiu prisoner to the hundred officials, rewarded Chen Ling as the right Guanglu doctor, and Zhang Zhenzhou as the golden purple Guanglu doctor.

6. In the winter of the fourth year of the Great Cause of Yiwu (608 AD), Emperor Yang of Sui granted Xue Shixiong, the general of the Right Yiwei, as the general of the Wangmen Road March, and ordered him to build a Yiwu city in the Western Regions Yiwu, and sent Pei Shiju, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, to Jinglu together.

Xue Shixiong is a famous general of the Great Sui, where the army marches to break the enemy, there is no crime in autumn, and he is deeply loved by Emperor Yang. Emperor Yang once praised him: "Shixiong is honest and modest, and has the style of the ancients." ”

Xue Shixiong and the Turkic Qimin Khan agreed to jointly assemble troops to attack the Yiwu Kingdom (present-day Hami region). After Xue Shixiong led the army out of Yumen, the Khan of Qimin did not arrive because of the loss of the appointment.

General Xue Shixiong did not flinch, but resolutely decided to cross the vast desert alone and attack the country of Yiwu, at this time, the northwest region was in the middle of bad weather and rampant wind and sand. Xue Shixiong marched quickly, and the momentum was like falling from the sky. The Yiwu people didn't expect the Sui army to come at all, so they didn't take precautions.

When he heard that Xue Shixiong had led his army across the desert and approached the city. The Iwu were so frightened that they had to ask for surrender.

After Xue Shixiong subdued Yiwu, he built a new city called "New Yiwu" in the east of the old Yiwu city in the Han Dynasty. Xue Shixiong ordered Yinqing Guanglu Doctor Wang Wei to lead more than 1,000 soldiers to defend the border of Yiwutun.

Then he led the army to return to the DPRK. Emperor Yang Dayue, Xue Shixiong was promoted to the right doctor because of his merits, and gave 2,000 paragraphs. The Sui Dynasty established Yiwu County and Rouyuan Town in Yiwu Kingdom, and the "New Yiwu City" built by Xue Shixiong became an important military stronghold on the east-west communication arteries controlled by the Sui Dynasty.

7. Occupy Tuyuhun Tuyuhun is more civilized than the Turkic people, and is in a semi-nomadic and semi-settled stage. Its capital is in Fuqi City, 45 miles west of Qinghai Lake. Qinghai Road, the main trunk of the Hexi Corridor of the South Silk Road, was the world's longest land transportation artery connecting Asia, Africa and Europe at that time.

The Tuyuhun people also occupy the hometown of Western Qin. Pei Shiju, who was in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions, said in the "Atlas of the Western Regions": "Yiwu (now Hami), Gaochang (now Turpan), Shanshan (now Ruoqiang), the gateway to the Western Regions. Dunhuang is its throat. ”

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to unblock the Silk Road, and he knew the importance of occupying the land of Tuyuhun. In 607 A.D. (the third year of the Great Cause), Pei Shiju, a servant of the Ministry of Officials, was sent to bring the Gaochang kings Lu Boya and Yiwu Tutun to the court, and Emperor Yang personally planned with them to actively plan against Tuyuhun, a competitor in the trade of the common Western Regions.

In 608 A.D. (the fourth year of the Great Cause), Emperor Yang of Sui once again used the strategy of "using Hu to control Hu" and sent Pei Shiju to lobby the Tiele tribes, so that they could attack Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun was raided and defeated. Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun fled eastward, fled into the territory of Xiping, and sent an envoy to the Sui Dynasty to ask for help.

Emperor Yang sent Ande Wang Xiong to lead the troops out of the pouring river, and Yu Wenshu, a famous general of Xu Guogong and the Sui Dynasty, led the army out of Xiping to "surrender".

Yuwenshu led the army to arrive at Linqiang City, Tuyuhun Khan Fu Yun was frightened in the face of the Sui Dynasty army and did not dare to surrender, led the remnants to flee to the west, Yuwenshu led Ying Yanglang to Liang Yuanli, Zhang Jun, Cui Shi and other troops to pursue, successively captured Mantou, Chishui two cities, cut more than 3,000 levels, captured 200 people below the Tuyuhun prince, captured 4,000 men and women and returned to the division.

In 609 A.D. (the fifth year of the Great Cause), Emperor Yang led the six armies to conquer Tuyuhun in person, and ordered Liu Quan, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, to lead the army out of Yiwu Road, and met the Tuyuhun army. The Sui army pursued to Qinghai, captured more than 1,000 people, and took advantage of the victory to capture the capital of Tuyuhun Kingdom.

Emperor Yang ordered Liu Quan to continue to lead the army to attack the two important cities of Zhan Tuyuhun, Mantou and Chishui, and broke Tuyuhun in Chishui and defeated the main force of the Tuyuhun army. Fu Yun led the crowd to protect Yuan Chuan.

Emperor Yang ordered the internal Shi Yuanshou Nantun Jinshan, the military department Shangshu Duan Wenzhen Beitun Snow Mountain, the Taifu Qing Yang Yichen Dongtun Pipa Gorge, and the general Zhang Shou Xitun Niling, surrounded on all sides.
