Emperor Sui Yang

The [-] army was defeated in one fell swoop. This was the biggest victory since the expedition. From the generals to the soldiers, they all knew exactly where they won.

Just looking at the good armor on his body, he should understand how he survived.

As a result, the forward infantry in charge of the charge should have suffered the heaviest casualties, but turned out to be the lightest, because they were all heavily armored and fully armed, and the lightly armored bow and arrow team hid behind their buttocks, but suffered even greater losses. .

Of course, because Goguryeo was defeated too quickly, the casualties of Yu Wenshu's main force were very optimistic. After all, most of the time, they were chasing.

After simply cleaning up the battlefield, the wounded soldiers were left behind, and the rest of the army continued to go south, and joined forces with Yu Zhongwen after two days and one night.

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

Gao Yuan was completely panicked, and sent two envoys to ask for surrender to Yuwenshuhe Laihuer camp. This time he did not pretend to surrender, he really wanted to surrender.

Pyongyang, an isolated city, is useless no matter how much it is defended. There is no army cover on the periphery. An isolated city alone cannot support the 10,000+ soldiers of the Sui army.

The 8 people who came to protect the children were almost undamaged. Yu Wenshu and Yu Zhongwen, after receiving reinforcements from the six divisions of Wei Xuan, Li Jing, Mai Tiezhang, Duan Ji, Li Xuantong, and Huang Junhan, the number has approached [-].

The 16 army besieged the city, even Daxing and Luoyang, which were enough to hold it.

Goguryeo’s envoys had to go through Zhou Fashang’s defense zone before they could see Lai Huer, but Zhou Fashang had greeted Yang Ming here and refused to accept the surrender, so without Lai Huer’s consent, Zhou Fashang directly killed all the envoys from Goguryeo .

Lai Huer didn't even know that Goguryeo had sent an envoy, and when he learned that Yu Wenshu had already crossed Sashui, as long as he crossed Sashui, it was only fifty miles away from Pyongyang, needless to say, the fight could begin.

As a result, a large number of siege equipment was pulled up. Except for the 6000 people left behind in the fleet, the remaining 7 people have entered the first-level siege preparations.

Gao Yuan sent another envoy to ask for surrender, but Zhou Fashang ordered him to shoot him from a distance before he came.

Lai Huer knew about this situation, but he pretended not to know.

His comfort with the army made You Yuan dissatisfied: "What does Zhou Fashang want to do? The two armies do not kill the envoy when they are fighting. He is destroying my faith in the court."

He is also an envoy himself, and he will be responsible for negotiating with Goguryeo, so Zhou Fashang's act of beheading the envoy undoubtedly hurt him deeply.

If you kill other people's envoys, if I go over to negotiate, will they kill me too?Are you breaking the way of negotiation?

Anyway, I'm very happy to come to protect my son. Anyway, I didn't kill him, and His Majesty won't blame me in the future. It's better to be blind and pretend that you didn't see it.

So he said with a smile: "It's just a small matter. Goguryeo is about to perish. Whether it is surrendered or not is irrelevant."

After all, Lai Huer rode his horse into the formation of the Chinese army, without any temptation, directly ordered to attack the city with all his strength.

It's all over for this sake, and I'm still trying to test the fart, just beat it.

Yu Wenshu originally saw Goguryeo and asked for an envoy, but Lai Huer had already started fighting, and he couldn't justify not fighting.

However, he ordered the siege of the city only after the Goguryeo envoy returned to the city, which is considered more disciplined.

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

In the evening of that day, a white flag was hoisted on the city wall, and then the city gate was opened wide. Gao Yuan led a group of officials, dressed in white, to surrender to the Sui Dynasty.

Yu Wenshu and Lai Hu'er stationed in Pyongyang City, and sent a ranger to Liaodong to report victory.

Mai Tiezhang hated Goguryeo too deeply, so he indulged his soldiers and plundered wantonly in Pyongyang, making it a mess, and all the good things were snatched by his subordinates.

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

Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo who once claimed to be the official of Liaodong, was imprisoned in a corner of the palace. The Gao Dynasty was heading towards its end.

In the 17th year of Kaihuang, Yang Jian wrote the following sentence at the end of the seal book bestowed on Gao Yangcheng, the last ruler of Goguryeo:

Wang said that the vastness of the Liao River is like the Yangtze River?Goryeo people, how many Chen countries?If I don't have a child, I will blame the king for his mistakes, and order a general, so why do I have to do more!Qin Qin Xiao said that Xu Wang has a new ear, and he should be in my arms, so he can ask for more blessings.

The meaning of this sentence is, do you think the Liaohe River is wide and dangerous?How is it better than the Yangtze River?Do you think there are more people in Goguryeo than Chen Guo?If I didn't have a kind heart, how much effort would it take to find any general to conquer you?So, be honest.

The last sentence of asking for more blessings can be described as the finishing touch. Goguryeo did not take Yang Jian's stern warning seriously. As the successor, Yang Guang finally put an end to the Sui Dynasty's troubles in the Northeast.

Great cause, great cause, great cause for thousands of years.

After Yang Guang in Liaodong received the good news, he was overjoyed:

"Order Yu Wenshu to escort Gao Yuan's family to Liaodong, and I will reprimand this thief face to face."

In the hall, Yang Yue knelt down and wept bitterly, shouting the emperor's heroism in his mouth, after the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, there is no match for his ambition and hegemony.

Yang Guang said modestly: "I inherit from Emperor Gaozu, and I have to have the world, so it is not as good as the first emperor."

A sycophant, a false modesty, a perfect match.

In the hall right now, the atmosphere was warm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, everyone was smiling and chatting happily.

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

Yang Guang nodded: "Decree, Cui Hongsheng will be the commander of the Langlin Road Marching, gather our army, and attack the country immediately."

Right now, the entire Goguryeo, and only the domestic city has not been taken down, because the purpose of the Eastern Route Army at the beginning was to defend the Eastern Route Defense Line and provide support for the main force going south. Now that Pyongyang has been taken down, there is actually no need for Yang Guang to issue an order. Cui Hongsheng and the others have joined forces to attack the country.

After two and a half months of fierce fighting, the Eastern Route Army still has 8 troops, which is more than enough to conquer the country.

The Liaodong Peninsula where Xin Shixiong is located has also achieved great victory. So far, Yang Guang's first expedition to Goguryeo after succeeding to the throne is about to be completed.

That being the case, there is no need to rush to withdraw troops from Banghai Road in August, you can take it easy and take Lulong Road back slowly in the future.

"Goguryeo's destruction is just around the corner. I should start planning the establishment of counties and counties. There is still a need for a general to sit here," Su Wei suggested.

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

Niu Hong smiled and said: "Since the county is established, the original place name does not need to be changed greatly, so as to appease the common people. All the local gentry need to move to the interior to prevent troubles. We can set up Liaodong Protectorate, and set up a large governor to take charge of regional affairs. "

In this place, there is a big official in the frontier, and the candidate needs to be carefully considered, because it is too easy to be self-reliant, so Pei Ju does not agree:

"It is not appropriate to have a big governor. It should be divided into several counties. According to the existing administration of our Great Sui Dynasty, we should set up county guards. There are dangers in the mountains and rivers. If there are big officials in the frontier, there will be hidden dangers. It is better to disperse some of them."

Niu Hong smiled and said: "It can be like this in the later period, but for the newly entered territory, there still needs to be a general in charge to coordinate the various places. When everything is stable, it will not be too late to withdraw."

Yang Yue laughed and said, "I'm afraid that if I want to withdraw at that time, I won't be able to withdraw."

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

What Yang Yue said makes sense. You have given them such great power to control the entire territory of Goguryeo. The power is in your hands. It is easy to give it, but it is not easy for you to get it back. If it is not good, it will be independent. situation.

Su Wei nodded and said: "It's really not appropriate to have a governor, but according to the current main city, counties are set up to govern the surrounding counties. There is really no need to change the name."

Not changing my name is also to take care of the feelings of common people in Goguryeo. I was originally a black-boned man, but if you changed it to XX, then I will be XX from now on?Not used to it.

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

Yang Guang said with a smile: "Shang Shusheng has a good discussion on this matter. There is no rush right now. Now Bibi is in the north. I want to invite him to have an audience. What do you think?"

Don't dare, Pei Ju Suwei was shocked, why did we fight Goguryeo, isn't it because you summoned Gao Yuan and he didn't come?In case people don't come at the end of the day, do you still want to fight the Turks?

Pei Ju hurriedly said: "The journey is far away, I thought it was unnecessary, this time His Majesty invited him to watch the battle, and he also came, you can see his awe."

Yang Guang sneered and said, "But he came with an army of 20. I want to ask, what exactly does he want to do?"

Don't ask, why ask? One more thing is worse than one less thing. Su Wei hurriedly persuaded:
"To meet the Turks, you should bring the tribute from the mission to meet His Majesty in the capital. Right now we are in Liaodong, and the etiquette is inconvenient. If Your Majesty is interested, it will not be too late to summon him after returning to the teacher."

Yang Guang shook his head: "When Qimin was alive, he met me in Luoyang court, but after he succeeded to the Khan throne, he has not yet. Now the distance is not far, and the timing is right."

"Inappropriate," Yang Yue said directly: "Sibi is different from Qimin. After the death of Changsun Sheng, only Princess Yicheng can be in the middle of contact between our Sui Dynasty and Eastern Turks. Shibi is young and vigorous, and I am afraid that there will be disrespect. , it is inappropriate to summon at the moment."

What he said was very straightforward, meaning that this new Khan might not be a fool to you, you'd better save yourself some face.

Yang Yue counted on Yang Guang's good face, Gao Yuan has already made him lose face, if you start again, can you still hold on to your face?
Sure enough, Yang Yue's persuasion was effective, but Yang Guang didn't like to listen:
"I have just destroyed Goguryeo. Forgive him for not daring to resist my will. However, as Su Qing said, it is better to meet with the capital and the Eastern Capital. Then we will discuss this matter after I return to Beijing."

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, good guy, you are really capable of finding trouble, Goguryeo has not been completely resolved, and you are eyeing the East Turks?
Fortunately, it was successfully postponed. As for returning to the capital, find a way to delay it. Anyway, if you can't summon him, you won't be summoned. After all, Qimin was supported by Tai Sui, but it was not the case at all. He has no feelings for Tai Sui.
