Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty The three campaigns for Goguryeo all ended in disastrous defeat. There were beacon flames in the country, and Sui Dynasty II died.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the economy was weak and the people's livelihood was difficult, and the rulers had to fix it.
Although Goguryeo won, it also suffered heavy losses, so he did not dare to take things lightly. In order to prevent the Tang army, King Gao Cheng also built a great wall of a thousand miles in Liaodong.
This situation did not last long.
Li Shimin ascended the throne, after recuperating and rejuvenating, he successively destroyed the Eastern Turks, and Tuyuhun and conquered the Western Regions.
Li Shimin
So, Li Shimin set his sights on Goguryeo in the northeast. He wanted to conquer this unruly small country himself.
1. Jiuying Dading, this is the only corner
In 642 AD, there was a civil strife in Goguryeo, the prime minister Gaisu Gaowen killed Wang Cheng, and Lisu Gaowen killed Wangcheng. , He has almost all real power.
The following year, Silla came to Datang to cry, and Baekje and Goguryeo took away more than 40 cities from them, asking God to be the master.
Li Shimin did not send troops immediately, but instead sent Sinong Temple Prime Minister Li Xuan Prize (Huan Prize, not Xuanzang!) to warn him.
Yuan Gai Su Wen is not an ordinary person. He argues that the land belongs to Goguryeo since ancient times. Xuanzang was shocked and went back: Liaodong has belonged to China since ancient times, so why did you steal data to this day?
I can't talk anymore, so the Sangri Hyun Award had to return to Changan .
Goguryeo Clothing
If the text is not good, I will come to Wu.
Li Shimin gave an order and assembled one hundred thousand Tang army, tens of thousands of Turkic army and Khitan army. Yingzhou Governor Zhang Jian led Youzhou and Yingzhou soldiers and horses to spy on the military situation.
After arranging the domestic affairs, Li Shimin did not hesitate to dissuade him, and started a private conquest.
He has not been on the battlefield for nearly two decades. Yujia’s personal conquest is not a hot head, but a foresight-he wants to destroy the country that Sui Yang wants to destroy but does not destroy, and conquer the domestic clan .
The 100,000 troops are divided into two routes:
Waterway: Zhang Liang As the chief of the Pyongyang road march, with 40,000 horses and 500 warships, he crossed the sea from Laizhou to Pesha City (now Dalian).
Land: Li Shimin himself led 60,000 infantry and cavalry from Youzhou and marched into Liaodong.
The war is about to start.
2. Marching into Liaodong
As a pioneer, Li Ji overcame the rugged and muddy roads and arrived at Liucheng (currently Chaoyang City _span _span) near Liaoning. In front of him, there is a swamp area two hundred miles wide and a thousand miles long. After the swamp, there is the Great Wall of Thousand Miles built by the Goguryeo people.
Liucheng (present-day Chaoyang City, Liaoning)
If you attack head-on, even if you pass through the swamp, you must face the high army waiting to work; if you go around,It will consume a lot of food and grass, and the logistics may not be able to supply it.
Li Ji is a famous general after all. He figured out a way: first bluff, and make a posture of crossing Liaoze and attacking Huaiyuan Town. When the enemy believed it was true and transferred the main force to Huaiyuan, he marched four hundred miles to the north and captured Tongding City (now Xinmin).
Then, I crossed Liaoshui and unexpectedly took the Xuantu City (now Fushun ). Almost at the same time, Zhang Jian also beheaded thousands and took the Jian'an City (now Yingkou).
On the waterway, Zhang Liangye attacked Beisha City and captured eight thousand men, women and children. In this way, the defense of Goguryeo was torn open by Tang Jun.
In May, the army led by Li Shimin rushed over. In order to cross Liaoze, he ordered Yan Lide to lay the earth as a bridge for soldiers to pass. Seeing the skeletons of the Sui army floating on the swamp, he demanded to converge as much as possible.
I will avenge you, he secretly swears.
"Send my order, dismantle the floating bridge, and fight back!"
In this way, the morale of Tang Jun came to Liaodong City. Sui Yang Emperor attacked this city three times with an army of one million.
Li Shimin can handle it?
3. The wolf attacked
When Tang Jun slew towards Liaodong City, Goguryeo also sent more than 40,000 stepped reinforcements. As a forward, Li Daozong fought an encounter with them.
Originally, the generals of the Tang Army had been fighting for a month and were in need of rest.

But Li Daozong didn't think so, so he insisted on taking the initiative.So Li Ji handed him four thousand cavalry soldiers to resist the Gao army. Before the war, Li Ji said: "If you don't meet a strong enemy, how can you be a strong man!" Encouraging them to fight the enemy bravely.
Faced with ten times as many enemies, the soldiers of Datang didn't have the slightest timidity. Instead, they screamed and rushed up, really invincible. From then on, Gao Jun shrank in the city and did not dare to fight again.
The main force of the Tang army arrived, and the city was completely enclosed. Li Shimin rushed to the Liaodong city, just like Wang Shichong back then, and brought hundreds of cavalry to the front line for investigation.
Seeing the soldiers filling the ditch in the negative soil, sweating profusely, he got off his horse and carried a sack of soil and poured it into the ditch. Soon, the news spread like wildfire, and the officers and men of Datang were grateful and wished to lay down their lives for His Majesty the Emperor.
However, Liaodong City was a strong city after all, and the Tang army attacked for twelve days without success.
On the night of the twelfth day, the south wind was strong and dust covered the moon. Li Shimin selected dozens of elite soldiers and asked them to climb the tower.
These warriors lived up to their expectations and ignited the southwest corner. The violent south wind caused the fire to spread rapidly, and the city's defenders were completely chaotic. Li Shimin launched a fierce attack again and easily obtained Liaodong City.
After ten days of rest, Li Shimin went to Baiyancheng (now Liaoyang). Before arriving, I received a letter from the guard, Sun Daiyin. Of course Li Shimin was happy to get a city without a bloody sword, so he accepted the surrender.
Unexpectedly, after rushing to the city, he discovered that Sun Daiyin had actually surrendered. Furious on the spot, on the day the city was ordered to be broken, the men were slaves and the women were prostitutes.
During the siege, the pioneer Asanasmo was shot by an arrow and was seriously injured. Li Shimin used his mouth to suck the blood out in front of the soldiers.
The morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the soldiers rushed up again desperately. At this time, the Ten Thousand High Army from Wubone City (Lingfeng City) was about to arrive at Baiyan City. Qihe Heli decided to retaliate with his fate and killed eight hundred cavalry.
After a big battle,He was stabbed in the waist by a spear, and he was dying at sight.
Fortunately, Xue Wanbei stepped forward and saved his life. Unexpectedly, Qi Fei Heli bandaged the wound, rushed into the enemy line again, hacked and killed Ten Thousand High Army, and dared not rescue Baiyan City.
Back to the barracks, Li Shimin was heartbroken and personally prescribed medicine for it.
The reinforcements were beaten away, and Sun Daiyin was completely desperate. Within two days, the whole city surrendered.
is true this time.
Li Shimin showed the generosity of the strong. He took back the previous looting and used the money from the treasury to reward meritorious soldiers, and Sun Daiyin still served as the governor.
After another ten days of rest, Tang Jun marched towards Anshicheng (now Haicheng). This is the last strong city in Liaodong.
4. Under the city of Anshi
The next day when Tang Jun reaches the city of Anshi, Gao Yanshou also led his reinforcements to arrive.
50,000 dozen 150,000, the advantage is me! With a sneer, Li Shimin confessed to Ashina Sheer: You lead a thousand cavalry to provoke you, you can only lose but not win, remember!
Ashina Society followed its plan and pretended to be defeated. Soon, Tang Ying came to visit Gao Yanshou with an envoy, and he "accidentally" revealed the "secret" of Tang Jun's poor food.
"Tang Yi and Er!" With this mentality, Gao Yanshou walked forward another 30 miles.
Knowing that the enemy is coming, Li Shimin ordered: Twenty thousand people stay at the camp, guard against sneak attacks, and arrange to fall on the curtain; Li Ji leads 15,000 troops in Xiling; Changsun Wuji brings 10,000 One thousand troops rounded back to Gao Jun's back; he led four thousand troops and attacked from the side.
The drum of war sounded and the general offensive began. Gao Yanshou woke up like a dream, ready to resist, but unfortunately it was too late.The subordinates fled one after another and could no longer organize.
In this battle, Tang Jun beheaded 20,000, and Gao Yanshou had to kowtow to Tang Junyuan's gate to apologize. Li Shimin is extremely proud: Do you dare to fight the emperor again?
Tang Jun soldier
Then, he wrote a letter to his uncle Gao Shilian , "How can I be like this?"----Hurry up and praise me.
But people really can't get over it, otherwise God will punish you.
Ordinarily, there is no reinforcements, Anshicheng can win in a blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, after a few months of fighting, the soldiers and civilians in the city still resisted stubbornly.
In order to siege the city, Tang Jun tried his best. In order to defend the city, Gao Jun was tactical.
Tang Jun ran into a car, and Gao Jun used a wooden fence to block it; Tang Jun dug tunnels, Gao Jun dug deep trenches to counteract; Tang Jun built earth mountains, Gao Jun drove them down the mountain; Tang Jun was tired to rest, Gao Jun rewarded the soldiers for night attacks As a result, he was intercepted by Li Shimin, who was experienced in the battlefield, and left dozens of corpses and fled back to the city.
In this way, the two sides are fighting wits and courage, which is so exciting.
It's cold, and autumn in Liaodong has arrived. If the fight continues, logistics will become a big problem. Seeing that Li Shimin was reluctant to withdraw his troops, Gao Yanshou, who surrendered, suggested abandoning Anshi Fortress and go straight to Pyongyang.
Changsun Wuji considers it from the perspective of food and urges the class teacher.
Even though the night shift was reluctant, Li Shimin still ordered the class teacher. Before leaving, he was given a hundred pieces of silk and satin to the city lord of Anshi to show his appreciation for his ability.
In this battle, Tang Jun conquered ten cities, beheaded 40,000, and migrated to 70,000 people. The result was brilliant. However, it is still no small regret for Li Shimin to not destroy Goguryeo.
In the twenty-three years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin passed away.
The task of destroying Goguryeo fell on the successor of Li Zhi .
