[Speaking of Tang Gaozong's destruction of Goguryeo, I have to mention two more words.

Although Su Dingfang had to retreat from Pyongyang City due to the loss of support, Tang Gaozong did not abandon his plan to destroy Goguryeo because of this setback. 】

[The Tang Dynasty launched continuous military attacks against Goguryeo, which achieved good results, further depleting the military strength of Goguryeo and its allies, and constantly disintegrating the social and economic foundation of Goguryeo.

Although the Goguryeo army also achieved some victories in local battles, it was basically defensive in nature, and it could not fundamentally reverse the huge disparity in power between the two sides.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty did not give up the offensive against Goguryeo, but used wheel warfare to continuously consume Goguryeo's national strength, laying the foundation for the final destruction of Goguryeo. 】

[From the first year of Qianfeng (666 AD) to the first year of Zongzhang (668 AD), the Tang Dynasty intensified its military attack on Goguryeo. 】

[In the first year of Zongzhang (668 AD), after the continuous attacks of the Tang Dynasty army, the ruling area of Goguryeo was shrinking day by day, the morale of the army was low, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and many important military towns had fallen into the hands of the Tang army, and the rule of the Goguryeo regime was already in jeopardy.

In this case, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi did not give the Goguryeo rulers any respite, he chose to concentrate the superior forces and gave Goguryeo the final fatal blow! 】

[In the first month, Tang Gaozong appointed Liu Renliang, the right minister, as the deputy governor of Liaodong Province.

In February, Li Tao commanded the Tang army to attack Buyeo City, and Xue Rengui, a Tang general who had just defeated the Goguryeo army at Jinshan, took advantage of Jinshan's victory and prepared to attack Buyeo City with 3,000 men.

Xue Rengui said: "There are not many soldiers, how can you use them like ears."

So he led the army as the vanguard of the whole army, and launched a fierce battle with the Goguryeo army, killing more than 10,000 enemies and conquering Buyeo City in one fell swoop.

More than 40 other cities in the Buyeo River were invincible and surrendered one after another, and Xue Rengui decided to fight the Fuyeo River.

Quan Nan Jianwen heard that Fuyu River had been captured by the Tang army, and hurriedly sent 50,000 troops to rescue Fuyu City, and encountered the Tang army in Xue Heshui, and the Tang army joined forces to attack it, breaking the Goguryeo army 50,000 people in one fell swoop, killing more than 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Goguryeo army, capturing more than 30,000 people, and seizing countless instruments, cattle and horses.

Taking advantage of the victory, Li Tao raised troops to attack Daxing City and defeated it in one fell swoop. 】

“？？？” Su Dingfang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is this a video of my exploits, or an inventory of Xue Rengui?" ”

[In September, Li Tao's troops joined up with other Tang armies, and the Tang Dynasty army advanced to Yaluzha.

Goguryeo sent an army to meet the battle, but was beaten by Li Tao and fled in all directions. The Tang army pursued the Goguryeo army for more than 200 miles and conquered the city of Huyi. The defenders of other Goguryeo cities fled or surrendered to the Tang army, and Pyongyang became an isolated city.

Subsequently, the Tang army led by Chebi Ho Li and Li Tao arrived at the city of Pyongyang, thus beginning the siege of Pyongyang for more than a month. 】

[Under the continuous attack of the Tang army, the Goguryeo king Bao Bao sent Quan male production rate of 98 Goguryeo officials, and carried white flags to the camp of Li Tao to ask for surrender. However, Quan Nanjian still closed the city gate and sent troops to fight many times, but they were all defeated.

Nan Jian knew that the general trend had gone, and entrusted the general to the monk Xincheng, Xincheng and the junior general Wusha Raomiao and others secretly sent people to the Tang army camp to request the Tang army's internal response.

Five days later, Xincheng opened the city gate to welcome the Tang army, Li Tao commanded the army to quickly enter the city, and Quan Nanjian attempted suicide and was captured along with the Treasure King and others.

At this point, Goguryeo, a local minority regime that had been strong for seven centuries in Northeast China and even Northeast Asia, was completely destroyed! 】

When Yang Guang saw that Goguryeo was finally dead, he couldn't help but yell: "Cool!!

Li Tao is Xu Shiyun, right?

Li Er can give you the royal surname, and so can I, Yang Guang!

You will be called Yang Shiyun in the future! ”

Su Dingfang saw that Goguryeo was finally defeated by Li Tao and others, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The last regret has also been made up, Your Majesty's merits are not much inferior to the first emperor, right?" ”

For Li Zhi, who reuses himself, and Li Shimin, who hides himself, Su Dingfang is still more inclined to Tang Gaozong Li Zhi in his heart.

[In May of the third year of Longshuo (663 AD), the situation on the northwest border of the Tang Dynasty made waves again.

Tubo and Tuyuhun attacked each other, after which Tuyuhun was defeated, and Murong Nuo, the Khan of Tuyuhun, and Princess Honghua led thousands of people to abandon their land and defect to Liangzhou, asking to move to the interior of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Gaozong appointed Zheng Rentai, the governor of Liangzhou, as the general manager of the Qinghai Road march, and led the right military guards Dugu Qingyun and Xin Wenling to station troops in Liangzhou and Shanzhou respectively to guard against Tibet.

At the end of June, Tang Gaozong appointed Zuo Wuwei Dasu Dingfang as the ambassador of Anji, and controlled the armies to determine Tubo and Tuyuhun.

Su Dingfang, who was more than a year old, spent the last moments of his horse career in the northwest frontier roaring horses and cold winds. 】

[In that year, during the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, 300,000 soldiers of the Tubo Kingdom courted relatives on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin wanted to marry Princess Wencheng and Songtsan Gampo.

At that time, there were many ministers in favor, including Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, and Li Jing and Li Daozong. Everyone unanimously agreed that Tibet was too strong and not suitable for expeditions, which prompted Li Shimin to make up his mind to "make peace."

However, Su Dingfang, who fought against the Turks in Mobei, disagreed, and wrote to Li Shimin: "Yidi, temperament is overturned, mercenary, and worthy of the royal daughter? ”

However, for some reason, this sentence annoyed Li Shimin, not only did he not follow Su Dingfang's advice, but also left him idle and discarded, and this snow hiding is a full twenty years!

It must be known that the Eastern Turks were destroyed by Su Dingfang before they were hidden by the snow, and the Western Turks were destroyed by Su Dingfang during the Gaozong period. 】

Li Shimin was suddenly poked in the lung tube, and suddenly said with a red face: "I don't have such a small belly!" I don't use Su Dingfang, it's to leave him for my son! Well, that's true! ”

"Hahahaha! I'm laughing to death! Yang Guang saw that Li Shimin was also blind, and suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.

"Don't you think you have discernment?

Didn't you call yourself the hero of the world into your circle?

Why is Su Dingfang, such a 'god of war' recognized by Su Shangshen, in front of you, and you abandon it?

I'm going to taunt Li Er later! ”

Li Tang replaced Sui, which made Yang Guang itch his teeth for Li Yuan and Li Shimin in his heart.

However, Yang Guang is not a person who can't afford to lose, he wants to prove that he is not worse than Li Shimin, but the means are too intense.

"You Li Shimin will destroy the Turks, destroy the Xue Yantuo Kingdom, control Tuyuhun, surrender Gaochang, and set up the Anxi Protectorate, right, I will definitely not lose to you this time, I will definitely be stronger than you!!"
