The 100,000-strong army was defeated in one fell swoop, which was the biggest victory since the expedition, and everyone from the generals to the soldiers knew in their hearts where to win.

Just look at the armor on your body, and you should understand how you survived.

So much so that the forward infantry in charge of charging should have suffered the heaviest casualties, but it turned out to be the lightest, because they were all heavily armed, and the lightly armored archers hid behind their buttocks, but the losses were even greater.

Of course, because the rout of Goguryeo was too rapid, the casualties of the main force of Uwenshu were very optimistic, after all, most of the time, they were in pursuit.

After a simple clean-up of the battlefield, the wounded soldiers were left behind, and the remaining army continued to move south, and after two days and one night, they successfully joined forces with Yu Zhongwen.

At this point, the two main forces of the Great Sui on land and water formed a joint siege of Pyongyang City.

Gao Yuan was completely panicked, and sent two messengers to Yuwen Shu and Laihu'er camp, he was not a fraudulent surrender this time, he really wanted to surrender.

Pyongyang, which is a lonely city, is useless no matter how much it defends, there is no army to cover the periphery, and relying on a lonely city alone cannot withstand the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Sui army.

There were 80,000 people who came to protect the children, and there was almost no damage, and on the part of Yuwen Shu and Yu Zhongwen, after receiving the reinforcement of Wei Xuan, Li Jing, Mai Tiezhu, Duan Zhen, Li Xuantong, and Huang Junhan, the number was close to 80,000.

The 160,000-strong army besieged the city, that is, Daxing and Luoyang, which were enough to hold it.

Goguryeo's envoy had to pass through Zhou Fashang's defense area before he could see Laihu'er, but Zhou Fashang greeted Yang Ming here and did not accept surrender, so without Laihu'er's consent, Zhou Fashang directly killed all Goguryeo's envoys.

Laihu'er didn't know that Goguryeo had sent an envoy, and he learned that Yuwensu was already crossing Sashui, as long as he crossed Sashui, it was only fifty miles away from Pyongyang, needless to say, he could start fighting.

As a result, a large number of siege equipment was pulled up, and in addition to the 6,000 people left in the fleet, the remaining 70,000 people had already entered the first-level siege preparations.

Gao Yuan sent an envoy again, but before he could come, he was ordered by Zhou Fashang to shoot him from afar.

Lai Hu'er knew about this situation, but he pretended not to know.

His consolation with the army made You Yuan dissatisfied: "What does Zhou Fashang want to do? If the two armies are fighting and not fighting, he is ruining the faith of our last dynasty. ”

He is also an envoy himself, and if he negotiates with Goguryeo, he will be responsible, so Zhou Fashang's action of killing the envoy undoubtedly deeply hurt him.

If you kill someone else's messenger, will they kill me if I go over to negotiate? Are you out of the way to negotiate?

Coming to Hu'er is quite happy anyway, anyway, I didn't kill it, and Your Majesty won't blame me in the future, so it's better to be blind and pretend not to see it.

So he smiled and said: "It's just a little thing, Goguryeo's death is imminent, and it doesn't matter whether it is surrendered or not." ”

After that, Laihu'er rode his horse into the Chinese army's main array, without any temptation, and directly ordered to attack the city with all his might.

It's all up to this, and I'm still testing a fart, just hit it.

Yuwenshu originally saw Goguryeo and asked for an envoy, but Laihu'er had already started fighting, and if he didn't fight, he couldn't say it.

However, he ordered the siege of the city after the Goguryeo envoy returned to the city, which can be regarded as more rule-oriented.

Pyongyang, which was supposed to be the most difficult to fight, has become the best city to fight so far on the expedition.

In the evening of the same day, the white flag was raised on the city wall, and then the city gate was opened, and Gao Yuan led the ministers, dressed in white, to surrender to the Great Sui.

Yu Wenshu and Lai Hu'er entered Pyongyang City and sent rangers to Liaodong to report the victory.

Mai Tiezhu hated Goguryeo too much, directly indulged the soldiers, and plundered the city of Pyongyang, causing a miasma, and all the good things were robbed by his subordinates.

Li Jing turned a blind eye to this, although he knew that he shouldn't do it, but he really couldn't persuade him, his eldest son died in battle, his body was insulted, and no one could swallow this breath.

The Goguryeo king Gao Yuan, who once claimed to be the dung soil minister of Liaodong, was confined in a corner of the imperial palace, and the Gao dynasty was approaching their end.

In the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, Yang Jian gave the last lord of Goguryeo, Gao Yangcheng, in the seal book, at the end of which there was this sentence:

Wang said that the vast water is like the Yangtze River? The people of Goryeo, how many Chen countries? If I don't have a good education, I will blame the king and order a general, why should I do more! Attentively revealed, King Xu has a new ear, and it is appropriate to have my arms and seek more blessings.

What this sentence means, do you think the Liaohe River is wide and dangerous? How about the Yangtze River? Do you think there are many people in Goguryeo, and there are many Chen Guoduo? If I hadn't been kind-hearted, how much effort would it take to find a random general to ask for you? So, be honest.

The last sentence of asking for more blessings can be described as the finishing touch, Yang Jian's stern warning, Goguryeo did not take it seriously, and Yang Guang, as the successor king, finally drew an end to the troubles in the northeast of the Great Sui.

Great cause, great cause, great cause.

Yang Guang, who was in Liaodong, was overjoyed after receiving the good news:

"Ling Yu Wenshu escorted Gao Yuan's family to Liaodong, and I want to reprimand this thief in person."

In the hall, Yang Yue knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, shouting that the emperor was heroic, and after the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, there was no match for the hegemony of the emperor.

Yang Guang said modestly: "I inherited from Emperor Gaozu, and I have to have the four seas, not as good as the first emperor." ”

One is a sycophant, the other is fake modesty, and it is a perfect match.

In the hall at the moment, the atmosphere was warm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, everyone smiled happily and chatted happily.

Pei Ju stood up and said: "Now that Pyongyang has conquered, Gao Jianwu has fled back to the domestic city and established himself as the king, and Cui Hongsheng, Xue Shixiong, and Jing Yuanheng should be ordered to attack with all their might. ”

Yang Guang nodded: "Decree, Cui Hong will be promoted to the head of the Wolf Forest Road march, gather my army, and immediately attack the country." ”

At present, the entire Goguryeo, and the rest of the domestic city has not been taken, because the purpose of the Eastern Route Army at the beginning was to hold the defense line of the Eastern Road and provide a response to the main force going south.

After two and a half months of fierce fighting, the Eastern Route Army still has 80,000 horses, which is more than enough to capture the country.

The Liaodong Peninsula, where Xin Shixiong is located, has also been victorious, and the first expedition to Goguryeo after Yang Guang's succession to the throne is about to be completed.

In this case, there is no need to withdraw troops from Punkaido in August, it is completely possible to take it leisurely and go back slowly on Lulong Road in the future.

"The destruction of Goguryeo is just around the corner, and I should start planning for the establishment of a county, and there needs to be a general in this place," Su Wei suggested.

Yang Guang nodded, and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a banquet immediately, and he wanted to chat with the ministers while drinking.

Niu Hong said with a smile: "Since there is a county, the original place name does not need to be changed drastically, so as to appease the civilians, and the local scholars need to move to the interior to prevent trouble. ”

This place sets up a feudal official, and the candidate needs to be carefully considered, because it is too easy to stand on his own, so Pei Ju does not approve:

"It is not appropriate to have a metropolitan governor, it should be divided into several counties, according to the existing administration of my Great Sui, divide the county guard, there is a danger of mountains and rivers here, if you set up a feudal official, there is a hidden danger of self-respect, it is better to break up some."

Niu Hong said with a smile: "This can be done in the later stage, but for the new territory, there is still a need for a general to sit in charge, coordinate all places, and wait until everything is stable, and then it is not too late to withdraw." ”

Yang Youhaha smiled and said, "I'm afraid that if I want to withdraw when the time comes, I can't withdraw it." ”

Niu Hong was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought.

What Yang Yue said makes sense, you have given people so much power, in charge of the entire territory of Goguryeo, the power is in your hands, it is easy to give it, but it is not easy if you want to get it back, one is not good, it is a situation of separation and self-reliance.

Su Wei nodded and said: "It is indeed not appropriate to have a metropolitan governor, but according to the current main cities, set up counties, and govern the surrounding counties, there is really no need to change the name." ”

If you don't change your name, it's also to take care of the feelings of the common people of Goguryeo, I was originally a black-bone person, and if you change it to XX, then I will be a XX person in the future? I'm not used to it.

Just like Zhao Zilong, if you ask him to say that he is from Shijiazhuang, he can't accept it for a while.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "In this matter, Shangshu Province has a good discussion, and there is no hurry at the moment, now that Shi Bi is in the north, I want to summon him to meet him, what do you think?" ”

Don't you dare, Pei Ju Suwei was suddenly shocked, why did we fight Goguryeo, didn't you summon Gao Yuan, and people didn't come? In case people don't come from the beginning, do you still have to fight the Turks?

Pei Ju hurriedly said: "The road is far away, the minister thinks that there is no need for this, this time His Majesty invited him to watch the battle, he also came, his awe can be seen." ”

Yang Guang sneered: "But he came with an army of 200,000, I want to ask, what does he want to do?" ”

Don't ask, why are you asking, more is better than less, Su Wei hurriedly persuaded:

"The Turkic court should bring the tribute of the mission, and meet Your Majesty in the Beijing Division, at the moment we are in Liaodong, the etiquette is inconvenient, if Your Majesty is interested, wait until you return to the division, and then summon you later."

Yang Guang shook his head: "When Qimin was alive, he met me in the Luoyang Dynasty, but after Shibi inherited the throne of Khan, he has not yet done so, and the distance is not far now, and the time is right." ”

"It's not appropriate," Yang Yue said directly: "Shibi is different from Qimin, after the death of Changsun Sheng, between my Great Sui and the Eastern Turks, only Princess Yicheng can be contacted in the middle, Shibi is young and vigorous, I am afraid that there will be disrespectful acts, and it is not appropriate to summon them at the moment." ”

What he said is very straightforward, which means that the new khan of the people may not be you, you better save some face for yourself.

Yang Yue calculated that Yang Guang had a good face, Gao Yuan had already made him lose face, and after another start, would you still be able to hang it on your face?

Sure enough, Yang Yue's persuasion was still effective, but Yang Guang didn't like to listen:

"I will destroy Goguryeo, forgive him for not daring to resist my will, but as Su Qing said, it is better to meet in Beijing and Dongdu, so we will discuss this matter after I return to Beijing."

The ministers suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, good guy, you can really find trouble, Goguryeo has not completely solved it, so you are eyeing the Eastern Turks?

Fortunately, the success has been delayed, as for returning to Beijing, let's find a way to delay, anyway, if you can not summon it, you won't summon it, after all, Qimin was supported by Da Sui, but it was not at the beginning, and people have no feelings for Da Sui.
