Forty-eight rounds of four expeditions to Goryeo

The emperor asked where the Second Expedition to Goryeo was defeated?

Yang Su is indeed the first military general of the Great Sui, and the answer to this kind of military question is like a fluent: the second attack on Goryeo was defeated by the plague. I, Emperor Taizuwen, were furious, and little Goryeo dared to touch Tianwei. So in the following year, more than 300,000 troops were sent under the command of Yang Liang, the king of Han (the king of Han rebelled after Yang Guangzheng took the throne and was exterminated by Yang Su), and the army was conquered. Who would have thought that not long after the troops were dispatched, an epidemic of plague began in the army. After arriving in Liaodong, more than half of the people in the army were infected. The king of Han knew that he could not fight anymore and withdrew his troops on his own. Goryeo then covered up and killed, and our army was defeated!

Yang Guang sneered: Although the King of Han is a layman in the war, there are many ministers in the army, and this second defeat is a bit unjust. Yang Liang did not make any mistakes in this battle, but helplessly, the destiny of heaven was not elsewhere. How can you be undefeated.

It was the defeat of the King of Han, and in the eyes of Emperor Wen, his status naturally declined, and there was one less opponent to compete for the throne. This evaluation is also objective.

"Where was the defeat of my three expeditions to Goryeo?" Yang Guang asked no more than the previous two questions, because the first two times were the previous dynasty, and this time it was a big battle under the command of Yang Guang. It is estimated that only Yang Su dares to admonish directly.

Yang Su really did not fear at all: he attacked Goryeo three times and was defeated in grain and grass! In the second year of the Great Cause, our emperor raised all three armies and advanced by land and water! Xiaoguo opened the way, and he was invincible! The army of more than 500,000 troops went straight to Liaodong. Storming Liaodong City, bloody battles for more than a month, day and night. 100,000 Goryeo casualties! Our army won a great victory!

Think about it, Yang Su still didn't tell the truth, the fortified city was strong, the enemy suffered 100,000 casualties, and the casualties of the Sui army would not be small, but it was also right, it was indeed a big victory, but it was a tragic victory.

Yang Sudao: It is a pity that our navy suddenly encountered a storm in the Yellow Sea, and the 100,000 navy army was completely annihilated! The partial division failed to penetrate directly into Pyongyang and form a north-south offensive with the army. The Goryeo army cleared the wilderness and retreated to the line of the Yalu River. When the battle reached the end of the month, our army's food and grass could not continue, so we had to retreat. However, this expedition cannot be said to be a complete defeat, at least the capture of Liaodong City. and beat the Koreans back to the east of the Yalu River. But compared to the loss......

Yang Guang smiled and said: The gains outweigh the losses! What else can't the old lady and I say. Sanfa Goryeo is just a little bit close. If our navy succeeds in a sneak attack on Pyongyang and wins a complete victory, and captures Gao Yuan alive, the Goryeo army will collapse without a fight! It's a shame.

=============

(In the 50 years of the Korean War, the U.S. troops landed at Incheon, and the old Mac thought it was terrible, but in fact, the Chinese Navy landed at Inchon more than a thousand years ago.) Why did Lao Mao repeatedly remind Kim Il Sung to be careful of the landing of US troops? Lao Mao is familiar with history, and he still doesn't know the idea of the Sui Navy landing and burning Pyongyang?

=============

Yang Guang carefully went through Yang Su's words, of course, there are not many things in Yang Su's words, and it is basically the actual situation. So the emperor said to his courtiers:

First, Goryeo is small but not weak, and it is necessary to send a large army to conquer in order to win.

Second, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it is inevitable that the water and soil will not be adapted, so there must be a large number of doctors with the army. Beware of the plague.

Third, it is difficult to maintain grain and grass for more than half a year! And Zhuo County, Yuyang County, Beiping County, and Anle County, which are close to Goryeo, are not the land of fish and rice. The newly captured Liaodong County, Liaoxi County is constantly fighting, and it is necessary to continuously transport grain and grass from the pass. Therefore, the problem of food and grass must be solved.

Fourth, the wind and weather are unpredictable. If anyone can know the destiny of heaven to predict a typhoon. When our army presses the border, the Goryeo army will come to fight with the whole country, and at this time Pyongyang is empty, and our Great Sui Navy will be able to capture the thief in one fell swoop!

These four are the difficulties in attacking Goryeo. The first two are not difficult, and the last two are simply not possible to complete. Yang Guang threatened to send out an army of one million, what kind of joke is it! Even the grain and grass of the more than 400,000 troops has become a problem. If the million-strong army is estimated to have just arrived in Liaodong, they will have to go home. There's no food!

Yang Guang finally said in a loud voice: Old lady, I promise you that if you can't solve the problem of grain and grass, I will never send troops. As for the last one, it's beyond human power.

At this time, our new great master Ziyang Zhenren spoke: Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Your Majesty, if you want to talk about grain and grass, the poor Dao is temporarily powerless, but this wind and weather celestial phenomenon, the destiny of heaven returns, it is not the poor Dao to say a big word, even the apprentices of the poor Dao understand. If the road is poor, our navy will never repeat the mistakes of the past.

Haha, this is really a big sentence, although Ziyang Zhenren also knows a little bit about the skin, if you talk about the physics of wind and weather. His two apprentices, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, were all above him. These days, he has stolen a lot from his apprentices. However, these two boys were fooled by the master a lot, and no one found out.

As soon as this remark came out, even Yang Su was greatly moved, you must know that there is no joke in the court. If Ziyang Zhenren was not sure, he would not be so wild.

Thinking of the battle of Taiwei City, this Ziyang does have some skills. The Manchu Dynasty saw it with his own eyes. Yes, if there is one person in the Great Sui who can know the weather and celestial phenomena, it must be Ziyang Zhenren.

Yang Guang nodded and smiled: Okay! This is the most difficult fourth difficulty, and the great power of the master can already solve it. Is there no way to do this third difficulty? Okay! I will learn from Cao Cao and issue a "Decree for Seeking Talents." As long as I am the people of the Great Sui, regardless of Hu and Han, if anyone can solve the problem of transporting grain and grass to the north, I will be rewarded with thousands of gold and sealed ten thousand households!

I'm going to spend a lot of money! I have to think about it when I go home. No, this third is difficult to reward thousands of gold, and thousands of households will be sealed! Why is there no reward for this fourth difficulty? Alas, Lao Tzu is too tender, and he will respond to the promise before the emperor can say it. No, this one must be recovered. You have to build at least fifty, no, a hundred Taoist temples. Haha, another wish of the old guys is about to come true!

The early dynasty of this day can be described as a stone that stirs up a thousand waves. In the face of the emperor's prize question and answer, who can not be tempted! Of course, except for Wang Yuanzhi, the stupid melon came to answer.

After going down, Yang Su stopped Ziyang Zhenren and sighed and said: Yuanzhi, you are really young. What Fang Cai said above was only military, but now the politics of the Great Sui are unstable. Over the years, three expeditions to Goryeo, the new eastern capital, and the western wan broke ground, although the treasury has not yet bottomed out. But the people's livelihood is tired, and bandits are rampant everywhere. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to attack Goryeo in all directions, and it is not possible to make a big mess.

In fact, after the failure of the three expeditions to Goryeo, the old man gathered his disciples to refer to it together. The old man has long been aware of the problem of grain and grass, but the old man has been delaying to say it, because he doesn't want the emperor to attack Goryeo four times and shake the foundation of the Great Sui!

Otherwise, this time I waited for the ship to enter Beijing, defeated the Goryeo samurai, and forced the demon Dao to death, wouldn't it be all in vain?!

Yes, he Yang Su can come up with a way, but it is difficult to guarantee that others can't think of going. Yang Su sighed and walked away. At the end, he left a sentence: If it's okay, lead the purple clothes to Xijing to see me, an old man, and I don't know how many more years I can live.

Sure enough, Yang Su was right! In just three days, there have been hundreds of books written by the government and the opposition, and there are about 23 plans after classification. After two more discussions and studies among the ministers of the court, one was finally decided. Unfortunately, this plan was proposed by Yang Su's advisors at the beginning. Later, one of the doormen went elsewhere, which was very common at the time, and Yang Su would not pursue it.

So at the court meeting, his lord Empress Xiao's younger brother, Uncle Guo, advised Xiao Huaijing, who was a doctor who did not learn and did not know how to do it, was in the limelight. That's what it is......

.....................

Uncle Guo said: Actually, it's not a big deal, hehe, as long as 3,000 tickets can be lined up to Goryeo. Wha!

The emperor said: It makes sense, and it will cost one million clicks and one hundred thousand collections.
