Chapter 179: Heavenly Heart Oracle Three Expeditions to Goryeo

The land of Goryeo, the ancestral home of China, the fief of the Zhou Dynasty, the three counties of the Han Dynasty, is the divine domain of the Great Tianzun.

However, the people's hearts are not ancient, the beliefs have changed, the Goguryeo king Gao Yuan was bewitched by the heavenly demons, believed in the evil ways of the outer demons, and saw the change of the monarch of the Sui Dynasty, he disobeyed the orders of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and even often sent troops to harass the border cities of the Great Sui and refused to exchange markets.

The Great Sui Dynasty won the Central Plains for decades, with strong strength, and Emperor Yang Guang toured the world, which meant that the whole world was not the king's land.

However, in 607 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui made a northern tour of the Turkic Khan's camp, and Goguryeo only sent envoys.

Emperor Yang of Sui ordered his envoys to ask the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, to come to the audience, otherwise he would lead a large army to parade through Goryeo.

Goguryeo King Gao Yuan received an oracle from the Heavenly Demon Supreme Heavenless in a dream and was not allowed to go to the audience, so he did not send anyone to reply to the message.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty originally wanted to turn the war into a jade silk, and sent an envoy to Goguryeo to recruit peace. However, the Goguryeo king Gao Yuan thought that there was an immortal edict and thought very highly of himself, so he did not take Emperor Yang of Sui in his eyes and refused to recruit him.

The king of Goguryeo also sent people to kill the Great Sui envoys who came to Zhao'an, which completely angered Emperor Yang of Sui.

The Heavenly Demon Supreme instructed that the Great Sui Emperor's qi was exhausted and was about to perish, and he had no time to take care of Goguryeo, so there was no need to panic.

Emperor Yang of Sui learned that the king of Goguryeo had humiliated himself so much, and he was furious on the main hall: The deception is too great, and the Goguryeo Gaoyuan has no one to pay tribute to, and he will send soldiers to punish him! After speaking, he threw the book on the ground violently on the main hall.

When Xuanyuan Jingtian heard about this, he said yes in a loud voice. Yan Liyan frowned, and asked Emperor Yang of Sui to make a dream overnight, ordering Emperor Yang of Sui to go on a northern expedition. So Emperor Yang of Sui made up his mind to conquer Goguryeo in person.

In 611, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Yuan Hongji to go to Haikou in Donglai (now Pixian County, Shandong) to recruit craftsmen to build 300 warships.

In February, Emperor Yangyang took a dragon boat from Jiangdu (present-day Yangzhou, Jiangsu) to Zhuojun (present-day Beijing) via Yongji Canal, issued an edict to prepare for an attack on Goryeo, and informed the land and water soldiers recruited from all over the country to rendezvous at Zhuojun.

In April, Emperor Yang of Sui arrived at the Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County to inspect the preparations.

In May, he ordered Henan, Huainan, Jiangnan and other regions to build 50,000 chariots and recruit Henan and Hebei people for military supplies.

In July, the people and ships south of the Jianghuai River were recruited to transport the rice in the warehouses of Liyang and Zhikou to Qiu County, and the fleet was more than 1,000 miles long, and there were hundreds of thousands of people who traveled back and forth to Cuoxian.

On February 8, 612 (the second day of the first month of the eighth year of the Great Cause of Sui), Emperor Yang of Sui issued an edict to send troops, led the 24th Route Army, and formed 12 Dacheng real army corps, known as the 2 million army (the actual number is 1.1338 million).

On the third day of the first month, the first army set out, and then sent an army every day, with a distance of 40 miles before and after, and it took 40 days to complete the departure. The armies were connected from head to end, the drums and horns were heard from each other, and the flags were connected for 960 miles. Blowing horns and camping for a thousand miles, the war drums smashed Goguryeo. Dacheng real striker pointed out, the Goryeo monks died one after another.

The land army went straight to Pyongyang, the waterway went out of Dongnae, the floating sea was advanced, the armies crossed the Liaoshui, defeated the Goryeo soldiers, and took advantage of the victory to besiege Liaodong. Emperor Sui Chang personally drove the expedition and personally commanded in Liaodong.

Since these areas were not suitable for face-to-face confrontation with an army of Sui's size, King Nyyang of Goguryeo withdrew his army to the Liaoshui area.

The Heavenly Demon Supreme secretly helped, and used supernatural mana to thaw all the water of the Liao River overnight, forming a natural barrier. By the time Emperor Yang of Sui arrived, the Liao River had melted.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the Dacheng Zhenren Army to use their supernatural powers to build three bridges over the Liao River.

At this time, Goryeo sent flying masters to carry out a sneak attack on the Sui army, sent a large army to attack, and effectively repelled the first attack of Emperor Yang of Sui for a while.

With the completion of the construction of the bridge, the Sui army quickly crossed the bridge and surrounded the city of Liaodong.

However, Emperor Yang of Sui was pretentious, believing that he was the chosen one, with the help of the gods, and believed that the gods would teach battle plans, so he ordered the Sui generals not to make any decisions about the battle without authorization, and to report to him before obeying orders. This made the Sui army very passive on the battlefield.

When the Great Sui General made every decision, he had to send someone to report to Emperor Yang of the Sui who was far behind, which delayed the military situation. As a result, Goguryeo's army had ample time to regroup and counterattack.

In this way, five months passed, and Emperor Yang of Sui did not take Liaodong City.

Yan Liyan saw that Emperor Yang of Sui was fighting unfavorably ahead, so he gave Emperor Yang of Sui a dream and asked him to send a large army to attack Pyongyang City.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was overjoyed and immediately advanced by land and water, with 300,000 troops and 200,000 sailors marching as the advance team.

The navy of the Great Sui reached the Datong River before the army.

Discovering that Sui's army had not arrived, King Yingyang sent a small army to engage the invading Sui army.

After a brief encounter, Goguryeo's army pretended to be defeated and retreated into the city.

The generals of the Sui Dynasty thought that the time had come to make meritorious contributions, and led 100,000 troops to begin to attack Pingxiang.

While the Sui army was plundering, a Goguryeo advance force consisting of several thousand men ambushed the Sui army.

The unsuspecting Sui Dynasty army panicked for a moment, was at a loss, and began to retreat towards the sea. Only a few thousand of the 100,000 Sui Dynasty troops managed to withdraw.

After the failure of the first solo operation, the generals of the Sui army decided to wait for the arrival of the Sui army's land forces before besieging Pingxiang.

However, the Army also had problems on the road. Marching in the Sui country, the logistics of the Sui army were very secure. But once inside Goryeo's territory, the Sui army's logistical supply would be ambushed by Goguryeo. In order to solve this problem, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered each soldier to bring his own food. However, this greatly increased the burden on the soldiers. Many soldiers threw down the food they had brought with them in order to lighten their loads. By the time the Sui army reached the Yalu River, there was a serious shortage of supplies.

There is a Cheongcheon River between the Yalu River and Pingxiang, and the Goguryeo general Otono Wende sent a flying master to use supernatural magic to build a dam to store water in the upper reaches of the Cheongcheon River.

When the Sui Dynasty army reached the Qingchuan River, the river was shallow. So the Sui Dynasty army waded across the river.

Just as the Sui Dynasty army crossed the river, Yizhi Wende ordered the sluice gate to be opened and the water released. Thousands of Sui Dynasty troops were drowned. Eulji Wendek then led the Goguryeo army to launch a fierce attack on the invading Sui army. Only the Dacheng Real Legion of the Army came back alive.

For the first time, the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo ended in failure.

Xuanyuan Jingtian learned that Yan Liyan entrusted his dream to Emperor Yang of Sui, and he was furious, let go of his previous attitude of being a good man, and directly sealed Yan Liyan's supernatural powers, and punished Yan Liyan for forbidding him.

Because when he wanted to speak, he suddenly found that he was speechless, and there was no sound in his throat, as if his vocal cords were out of control, and as if he could not speak at all. This surprise was not trivial, and Yan Liyan immediately reacted - Xuanyuan Jingtian had never been angry, nor had he ever criticized Yan Liyan. This time he was angry because Yan Liyan interfered in the affairs of the world with his own dreams.

Yan Liyan probed his whole body, and now there was no other abnormality, that is, he couldn't speak, and he didn't have supernatural powers, but he could use his divine sense. At this time, I heard someone behind me say leisurely: "Stinky boy, you know it's amazing, right?" "The Guardian came out from behind.

Yan Liyan had no supernatural powers, he couldn't speak, and smiled bitterly.

Xuanyuan Jingtian has always been a good gentleman, and this time he was really angry. The catastrophe of heaven and earth, the lords of the gods were in panic all day long, and Yan Liyan was here again.

Xuanyuan Jing Tianban glared, picked up the golden dust of the Daoist guarding the realm, and said, "Sealing your mouth for the teacher is to punish you." You interfere with the heavens, disturb the world, and violate the way of heaven. You can think of it as a practice. ”

Yan Liyan: "But it's very troublesome. ”

Xuanyuan Jingtian knocked over with another whisk of dust: "You asked for the trouble!" What's the trouble? Is it troublesome to be born, old, sick and die? Isn't it troublesome to cultivate immortal hemp? Is there such a cheap thing in the world? ”

Yan Liyan: "Master, don't knock me, the disciple has already understood, I just want to ask your old man for advice, how can I get through this pass?" ”

Xuanyuan Jingtian twisted his beard and said a nonsense: "When you can speak, this level will naturally be passed." As a teacher, I will pass on your golden immortal cultivation method today, you don't need to get up on your knees, listen to the master's teachings. ”

The method passed on by Xuanyuan Jingtian is not something that Yan Liyan can practice now, but the method of cultivation of the Golden Immortal, and he can only practice it after he achieves the true immortal.

In the end, Xuanyuan Jingtian told him that after he achieved the true immortal, all the magical powers he had cultivated in the past would be unhindered, and he could also practice the method of the golden immortal, and then he would naturally lift the seal.

Yan Liyan can only accept reality honestly.

In the ninth year of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty (613), Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty launched another attack on Goguryeo.

When Emperor Yang of Sui personally conquered Goguryeo, Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan rebelled at home. Fearing that he would be attacked on both sides, Emperor Yang of Sui was forced to retreat back to China to suppress Yang Xuangan's rebellion, but returned in vain.

In the tenth year of Daye (614), he attacked Goryeo again.

Emperor Yang of Sui's army broke through Goguryeo's first line of defense, but due to Goryeo's continuous ambushes and the cutting off of the supply line of the Sui army, Emperor Yang of Sui was never able to take Liaoshui.

Knowing that he could not defeat the Great Sui, the King of Yingyang asked for surrender.

Emperor Yang of Sui accepted the invitation of the King of Yingyang to surrender and withdrew his troops.

The three expeditions to Goryeo ended hastily.
