In August of the seventh year of the Great Cause (611 AD), Emperor Yang of Sui levied a total of more than 113 soldiers to crusade against Goguryeo. In addition, twice as many people transported supplies for the soldiers. In order to crusade against Goguryeo, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty excessively brutally conscripted the people, resulting in the poverty of the people, and the people's materials and human strength were extremely exhausted. Families doing farm work were forcibly conscripted into the army, missed the season of ploughing and marrying, most of the cultivated fields in various parts of the Sui Dynasty were barren, coupled with famine, the price of grain was expensive, and what was even more odious was that the officials of the Sui Dynasty were greedy and cruel, and even took the opportunity to plunder the people, fish and meat people, at this time, if you are willing to be obedient to the people, you will encounter unbearable frost, and soon face death, plundering can live longer, so the people all over the country began to gather on a small scale, trying to resist the tyranny, of course, it was quickly suppressed, It hasn't made any big waves yet.

At the end of March of the eighth year of the Great Cause (612 AD), our army successfully arrived at the Liao River. Since the pontoon bridge we built was still a few meters away from the shore, we decided to go to the water to engage the Goguryeo army on the opposite bank, and as a result, our army suffered heavy casualties, and the general Mai Tiezhi of Zuotunwei and the generals Qian Shixiong and Meng Cha were killed in battle. After that, we urgently lengthened the bridge, finally crossed the Liao River, and defeated part of the Goguryeo army on the east bank of the Liao River. At the beginning, when Emperor Yang of Sui met in Liaoshui, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered them to be divided into three ways in order to prevent the generals from covering the attack of the light army and fighting alone to win the reputation of the merit and reward, but whenever there was an attack on the military action, it was necessary to inform each other between the three roads, and the light army was not allowed to advance alone, and the military advance and stop had to hear about the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty first, and wait for the reply order before taking action.

Our armed forces are still very strong, and along the way, we fought Goguryeo and retreated, and we were about to annihilate the Liaodong city of Goguryeo, but the ignorant Emperor Yang of Sui unexpectedly issued a surrender order - if Goguryeo wants to surrender, it should be appeased and accepted, and no more attacks should be made.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's really inappropriate to issue such a surrender order at this critical moment of life and death!" One of the generals in the army said worriedly. Maybe he also knew in his heart that questioning this brutal faint king might lead to death, but if he didn't say it, more soldiers would die in battle at that time.

"Yes, yes, yes!" There were echoing voices from among the troops.

Emperor Yang of Sui's arrogant face showed a look of displeasure, and he replied arrogantly: "If Goguryeo surrenders, we continue to slaughter, won't it seem that we are too immoral?" Besides, this will not only ruin our reputation, but on the contrary, it will make the Guanlong nobles more influential in the world, isn't it? He glared angrily at the general who had the courage to question the surrender order, and he was stared at and bowed his head, speechless for a while, and the army that had just joined him was silent at this time.

"The orders given by the widow and the soldiers will be strictly followed, and Hugh must say more!" Emperor Yang of Sui said with a gloomy face, the expression on his face showed the arrogance on his body to the fullest, and it looked like people couldn't help but feel hatred, but the king's fate was hard to resist, who made him the king of the Sui Dynasty?

In June, Emperor Yang of Sui personally went to Liaodong City to supervise the army to attack the city, and when Liaodong City was about to be captured, the Goguryeo army in the city immediately claimed to surrender when they saw the situation, and all the soldiers of the army had to stop the attack immediately according to the order of Emperor Yang of Sui, and sent people to play Emperor Yang of Sui first, but when the reply order arrived, the Goguryeo army in the city had already prepared for defense and began to resist with us again.

Seeing that he was about to lose, he hurriedly surrendered, and when he was almost recovered, he fought with us again, and this situation was repeated many times, but the mediocre Emperor Yang of Sui had not yet woken up from it, insisting on his so-called "convincing people with reason", and no matter how desperately we fought, we never succeeded in capturing Liaodong City.

It's really absurd, this hateful Yang Guang, on the battlefield where bullets are raining down and killing people without blinking, he has to tell the enemy what benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, he insists on going his own way, and he is faint! I cursed inwardly. I just thought that I would attack Goguryeo as soon as possible, and then I could reunite with my father and mother and Xin'er as soon as possible, but Yang Guang's gang suddenly came out like this, not only was there no hope of victory, but it was not even easy to say whether I would live or die.

At the same time, Emperor Yang of Sui also ordered Zuo Yiwei's general Yu Wenshu and other nine armies, totaling more than 35,000 people, to cross the Goguryeo Zhucheng and advance to the Yalu River, and cooperate with the naval army to attack Pyongyang. Unexpectedly, the Goguryeo general Eulji Wende adopted the strategy of luring the enemy into the depths, retreating while fighting, and luring our army into their trap step by step, just like the trend of "catching a turtle in an urn", yes, we are the "turtle", and we were driven into the "urn" by Goguryeo, how can we still have the power to parry? Many Sui troops were exhausted, and Yuwen Shu saw that the soldiers were exhausted, and the army was exhausted, and the city of Pyongyang was impregnable, so he was forced to lead the army back to the division.

The Goguryeo army took advantage of the retreat of our army, and took advantage of the situation to attack from all sides, and Yuwenshu and others fought and retreated, until Sashui was attacked by the Goguryeo army halfway, all the armies were defeated, and the general of Zuotunwei, Xin Shixiong, was killed in battle. When Yu Wenshu and others led the army to retreat to Liaodong City, there were only more than 2,700 people left. General Youyiwei led the Jiang and Huaishui armies into Hunshui through the sea channel, defeated the Goguryeo army at a distance of 60 miles from Pyongyang, and he led the army to pursue the victory, and continued to attack the city of Goguryeo with 40,000 elite soldiers, but encountered an ambush, and the formation turned around, and the army led by Laihuer was also defeated, and there were only a few thousand survivors.

Emperor Yang of Sui's first expedition to Goguryeo ended in such a fiasco, and most of the lives of millions of soldiers were buried east of the Liao River. The millions of soldiers who were magnificent and high-spirited at the beginning are now dead and wounded, and they are also exhausted, weak and sick.

After hearing that Goguryeo was victorious, the corpses of tens of thousands of soldiers of our Sui army were built into a "Jingguan", and the Sui Dynasty was intimidated by terrifying means.
