Like a massacre, after dawn, Han Seng Shou raised his account and asked the generals to report the results of the battle.

The 50,000 Goguryeo army led by Gao Yuan died nearly 10,000 in battle, and the remaining 40,000 people basically did not run away, all of them were captured, and even the Goguryeo king Gao Yuan, who tried to escape over the mountain in disguise, was also captured alive. Gao Yuan finally surrendered to Han Sengshou, Han Sengshou was overjoyed, and immediately sent back the good news to the rear, reporting the good news to the Son of Heaven, and at the same time he did not stop, but took a short rest at the foot of Beizhen Mountain, and after gathering the follow-up troops, he continued to attack eastward directly along the route that Gao Yuan wanted to retreat.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the 80,000 troops of Goguryeo who crossed the Liao River are gone, plus those Goguryeo soldiers captured by Wuwei Hou who captured Liaodong and Xincheng Ercheng, 100,000 Liao soldiers are removed. Now the king of Goguryeo has also been captured and surrendered, and the destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner. Wang Bao was very excited and said hello to Yi Feng.

Yi Feng was so excited that he couldn't speak, although Beizhen Mountain's interception and encirclement plan was from his own hands, but he never thought that he could really win such a perfect victory at that time. Not only were Gao Yuan's subordinates wiped out, but even Gao Yuan's big fish was caught in the net. "Immediately send an order to Han Seng Shou, let him cross the Liao River immediately, join Li Jing in Liaodong, and then take advantage of the situation to sweep the cities on the east bank of the Liao River." Yi Feng knew that now was really a great opportunity. Although Goguryeo had no less than 300,000 soldiers, if mobilized, it could still gather no less than 600,000 troops. But it was impossible for Goguryeo to place all its troops on the Liaohe defense line. Goguryeo's previous focus was even on the Samhan Peninsula against Silla and Baekje, and a large number of troops and horses were arranged on the southern peninsula. In addition, there are many soldiers and horses arranged in mountain towns all over the country. The last time Gao Yuan hurriedly entered Liaoxi, he asked the soldiers and horses that few were from the capital. The rest were directly assembled on the defense line on the east bank of the Liaohe River, and now these 80,000 people are gone, plus the more than 10,000 people captured by Li Jing when he captured the two cities of Liaodong and Xincheng, Goguryeo's Liaohe defense line is equivalent to losing 100,000 troops at once. As a result, the Goguryeo Liaohe defense line was almost full of sieves.

Even if the Goguryeo people wanted to transfer troops to fill the void, it would be too late. Moreover, the kings all became prisoners, and some important officials and generals on the original Liaohe defense line of Goguryeo were also Sui Gaoyuan who entered Liaoxi, and then were killed or captured this time. This will lead Goguryeo to lack sufficient commanders and dispatchers on the defense line of the Liao River in the west.

One wrong step, one wrong step, Gao Yuan took a wrong step, and then now he has to face the consequences that are difficult to follow. Not only was he defeated and captured, but even the entire Goguryeo Kingdom was facing a great crisis.

Things were just as Yi Feng expected, after Han Seng Shou cooperated with Sanfan to destroy Gao Yuan and capture Gao Yuan, he took a short break and immediately seized this rare fighter. Rapid eastward expansion. Han Seng Shou did not go to Liaodong City or Xincheng first, he rushed to the northeast first, and quickly killed under Wuli Luo City. The city of Wuli Luo is on the west bank of the Liao River, on the west bank of the confluence of the East Liao River and the West Liao River. It has always been a battleground for soldiers, guarding the extremely important Liaohe River crossing. Goguryeo has been trying to cross the Liao River for many years to compete for the west of Liao, and Wu Liluo is that Goguryeo has developed to the west bank of the Liao River several years ago. A stronghold fort that was established. The city may not be large, but it is extremely fortified. The city is high and strong, and heavy troops are stationed. He hoarded a great deal of grain and grass.

This city can be used as a bridgehead in Goguryeo, which can be attacked and defended, and can advance and retreat. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to capture it. But at this time, just like Liaodong City and Xincheng, Han Seng Shou didn't take this fortress with much effort at all. His method was also very simple, he directly asked Gao Yuan to write a letter in his hand, printed with the king's seal, and then sent a royal child into the city. When the guard received the letter, he saw that it was actually a handwritten letter of surrender written by the king himself, and he was immediately stunned.

"His Majesty is now a prisoner under the Sui State Order." The Gao Yuan's younger brother who delivered the letter sighed.

The guard was silent for a long time, not knowing how to choose. He is a general of Wuliluo, and it is said that he must not surrender, but now that the king has surrendered to the Sui State, and the king has sent a letter asking him to open the city and surrender, does he want to resist the order? The defender weighed it for a long time, and finally thought about the contrast of power with the Sui army. There are 10,000 garrisons in Wuli Luo City, and now there are 5,000, but the Sui army has more than 100,000. It's really fighting, and the eggs hit the stones. The king has become a prisoner of the Sui army, what morale does this defender have at all? Eventually, after receiving a reply from the Sui marshal that he would give preferential treatment to the defenders of Wuliluo and protect their property and safety from being violated, the defenders surrendered.

Goguryeo finally built this bridgehead on the west bank of the Liao River with countless efforts, and the Wuliluo fortress surrendered without a fight.

After taking Wuliluo, Han Seng Shou led his army across the river and attacked the east bank of the Liao River.

Newcastle.

After Li Jing finished reading the military information he had just delivered, he slapped his thigh excitedly, it was so beautiful. The 80,000 Goguryeo army in western Liaoxi was wiped out, Gao Yuan was captured and surrendered, and then Wu Liluo was also taken. The entire western part of Liaoxi has been recovered, and his uncle Han Seng Shou has led more than 100,000 troops into Liaodong.

"Immediately ordered the remaining soldiers and horses of Songshan and White Wolf City to move to Liao, and next, we have to take advantage of this great opportunity when the dragons of the Liaohe River are leaderless, launch a wave of offensives, and strive to pull out all the large and small mountain cities on the east bank of the Liaohe River." Li Jing is the deputy envoy of the privy council, and so is Han Seng Shou. Li Jing is the marshal of the Yanshan Road march, Han Seng Shou is the marshal of the Liaodong Road march, the two are the same whether they are military ranks, actual positions or dispatches, they each command 100,000 soldiers and horses, without the emperor's special will, they are at the same level.

Now the 200,000 troops in the Liaohe River belong to two routes, and there are two marshals who are not subordinate to each other, but Li Jing and Han Seng Shou both chose to take advantage of the situation to attack, and before the Goguryeo people reunited to resist, they first pulled out their Liaohe defense line. Even if the Goguryeo people chose another king to come out, they would not want to take back this defense line that had been in operation for hundreds of years. As long as the Sui army occupied this defensive line, it could be used as a solid position to stabilize the Liaohe Plain, and in turn it would advance eastward to attack the mountainous areas in the east.

October. After entering Luoyang, Yi Feng issued the first edict. It was with Li Jing as the marshal of the Liaodong Road march, leading 100,000 soldiers and horses to sweep the middle of the east bank of the Liaohe River. With Han Seng Shou as the marshal of the march of Liaobei Road, he led 100,000 soldiers and horses to sweep the north of the east bank of the Liaohe River, and Zhou Luohou was the marshal of the march of Liaonan Road, and Dou Jiande and Lai Hu'er were deputy marshals, leading 50,000 sailors and 500 warships to attack the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula from the Dengzhou sea route in Jingdong. Regardless of the opposition of the ministers, Yi Feng personally led 50,000 Beiya forbidden troops to the north and went to Youzhou to command and coordinate the three-way army.

The Great Sui's war plane qì is in full swing. Destroy Liao with all your might.

In October, after receiving 20,000 reinforcements led by Zhang Xutuo in Xincheng, Li Jing sent troops to conquer Xuansu City.

In the same month, Yi Feng arrived in Youzhou and moved from Youzhou to Yuguan to sit in the town, closer to the front line.

After Li Jing conquered Xuansu City, he successively conquered Gaimu City, Baiyan City, Maigu, Momi, Houhuang, and Hengshan Cities.

The sailors also crossed east along the floating sea and arrived at the Liaodong Peninsula, where Zhou Luohou, Dou Jiande, and Lai Hu'er led their troops to besiege Beisha City in southern Liaoning. After five days, the Sui Dynasty moved troops to besiege and capture Jian'an City, and then went north to besiege An'an City.

The Northern Route Army led by Han Seng Shou. It also quickly swept through the northern region of Liaohe, and successively conquered Yincheng and Fuyu.

The three Sui armies shot out in unison, like an autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves. Taking advantage of the defeat of Gao Yuan's army in Liaoxi and being captured, the defense line on the east bank of the Liao River was empty. There was no unified command, so it was under the offensive of the Sui army. In particular, there is also Gao Yuan, the king's handwritten letter, and finally when the nineteenth year of the emperor is over and the new year comes, the Sui army's three-way army has almost swept the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and only one important town on the entire peninsula, Wugucheng, is still insisting on resisting.

The Three Route Army pulled out more than 200 Goguryeo large and small cities before and after, beheaded more than 40,000, and captured and surrendered more than 70,000 Goguryeo troops, not counting the 20,000 beheaded and 60,000 prisoners in western Liao. The three-way Sui army plus the Fan soldiers, out of the pass into Liao more than 300,000, before and after the battle killed more than 8,000 people, wounded more than 10,000 people, of which the war horse loss is large, due to the continuous high-intensity war, the Sui army lost more than 50,000 horses, no less than 100,000 horses, the loss of war horses is the largest loss in the battle of Liaodong.

On the New Year's Day of the first year of Kaiyuan, Yi Feng rushed back to Luoyang to hold a grand court meeting. At this time, Goguryeo had already elected Gao Jianwu, the son of the king of the plains and the younger brother of the captured king Gao Yuan, as king. After Gao Jianwu ascended the throne as king, he immediately mobilized troops and horses to reinforce the city of Wugucheng, and on the other hand, he established a new defense in Yalushui, and at the same time sent people to negotiate peace with Silla and Baekje, and sent envoys to Luoyang to apologize to the Great Sui, offering ten beauties, and also asked for his own sister Goguryeo Princess and the pro-Great Sui Emperor, hoping that the two countries would truce. Gao Yuan asked the Great Sui Emperor to canonize him, and also asked the Great Sui to withdraw to the west bank of the Liao River, and the two countries to suspend their troops, and Goguryeo was willing to be a vassal of the Great Sui from now on.

For such a request, it is impossible for Yi Feng to accept it. However, at this time, Liaodong was cold, it had already snowed, the rivers and seas were frozen, and the siege of Wugu City was not smooth, and the retreating troops on the Liaodong Peninsula poured into Wugu City, and there were many Goguryeo soldiers reinforced from the Samhan Peninsula, reaching 50,000 people. The weather is cold, and the fortress was once the capital of Goguryeo, and this important city with its back to the Uggu River and guarding in front of the Aplu River is very important to the Goguryeo people, and it can be said to be the gateway to Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo. The Goguryeo people swore to die and refused to give up, and the new king and the new dynasty swore to defend the black bones.

In this case, the offensive of the Sui army was not favorable. Many ministers among the ministers asked for a temporary truce with Goguryeo, and after Gao Ma became fat in the autumn of next year, they would send troops to attack Wugu and Pyongyang to destroy Goguryeo. After all, 300,000 soldiers and horses, a huge number, the daily consumption is very large, and it is difficult to attack the city in winter, and it is useless to stay in Liaodong, and the materials are wasted.

And the most important thing is that now that the imperial court has almost taken the Liaodong Peninsula, this has occupied hundreds of cities, millions of people, thousands of miles, and such a large piece of territory, it still needs to be occupied and managed. The imperial court needs time to stabilize this qiē, and when Liaodong is stabilized, it will attack Pyongyang, and then it will be a matter of course.

Yi Feng also praised the ministers' views that winter was not suitable for attacking, and the army was also quite tired from fighting year after year, the soldiers were tired, the losses of horses and other things were severe, and the newly occupied area also needed to be stabilized.

"First of all, Goguryeo must be a vassal to the Great Sui, and in the future, it will be a vassal of the Great Sui, and the succession of the Goguryeo king must be approved by the Great Sui Emperor, and it will be legal only after the canonization of the Great Sui Emperor. Second, the land of Liaodong has always been the territory of the Han people, but Goguryeo has been secretly devouring, and now to cease fighting, yes, the Great Sui and Goguryeo officially demarcated the border, and the border is bounded by Yalushui, and the east of Yalushui belongs to Goguryeo, and the west belongs to Dasui. ”

No one mentioned the hapless king. Yi Feng wanted to propose to let Gao Yuan go back and make trouble for the new king and court of Goguryeo, but thinking that Goguryeo would definitely not accept it, he didn't mention it for the time being. The envoy of Goguryeo could not accept Yi Feng's conditions, but in the end it was up to the king and the court of Pyongyang to decide, so the envoy had to return with Yi Feng's conditions.

After the New Year's Day, it is the new year, and it is also the beginning of the use of the New Year of the Great Sui, from this day, the Kaihuang year name is used for 19 years, the second year of the Great Sui begins to be the year, the first year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty begins, and it also serves as the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan year. After the Goguryeo envoy left, Yi Feng issued an edict, with Dou Jiande as the camp of Liaodong Province to stay behind, Zhang Xutuo as the deputy to stay, Li Jing and Han Seng Shou, Luo Zhouhou, Lai Hu'er, Luo Yi, Li Jing Zhu and 200,000 army divisions returned to the dynasty, retained 100,000 troops under the command of Dou Jiande, and continued to guard Liaodong.

Militarily, the imperial court has achieved a perfect victory in Liaodong, but now the next test is that the imperial court now holds the new land of Liaodong. For Yi Feng, he must not work hard to conquer Liaodong, but in the end, like the Tang Dynasty, he could not establish effective rule at all.

How to take over the control and rule Liaodong well, this task was handed over to the political affairs hall to deal with.

Yi Feng is too lazy to worry about how to take over and manage Liaodong for the time being, in short, the imperial court will set up Liaodong and Liaobei provinces in the newly occupied area, and then divide the prefectures and counties, select officials, and so on. Those things are temporarily handed over to the political hall and the six departments of the three provinces, and what he has to consider now is the reward for the soldiers of the First World War in Liaodong, especially for Han Seng Shou and Li Jing, especially Li Jing, who has made such a great contribution, it is impossible not to reward, but thinking of his kind of temperament that will not work as soon as he leads the army, Yi Feng also has a headache. Moreover, Han Seng Shou and Li Jing are nephews and uncles, and they are both deputy envoys in the Privy Council, which is extremely inappropriate.

There can only be one of the two people in the Privy Council, and Li Jing is more suitable to stay, he is closer to himself, but this battle of Liaodong made Yi Feng a little afraid to let Li Jing go so far. Li Jing is a good marshal who commands the army, but he is by no means a good marshal who reassures the emperor, thinking about it, Yi Feng finally sat down in front of the case, picked up the pen and wrote down a line of words, Jin Jue Wei Guogong, Jia Zhen Feng Shiyi 500 households, awarded Zhu Guo, plus the crown prince Taibao, the transfer of troops Shangshu, the vice president of the Royal Military Academy of the Great Sui Mountain, and the deputy privy envoy of the Privy Council.

"Come on, send this to the Hanlin Academy to be issued by the edict." Yi Feng took the paper and looked at it for a long time, and finally called the attendant to send him to the Hanlin Academy to announce the decree, hoping that Li Jing could understand his painstaking efforts.

(It's stiff, it's uncomfortable.) (To be continued......)
