Jing is called Gaoqiu; Guan is a form of Que. He won the battle and built Jingguan. He thought it was a place to hide corpses, but in fact he showed off his martial arts. Emperor Yang of Sui went east to goguryeo, and all three times ended in failure. Not only did he lose his troops and generals, but he also suffered more than 100,000 people plundered by Goguryeo, as well as the people in the northeast of the Sui Dynasty. Li Shimin, as a witness to these incidents, had a great impact on him.

When Li Shimin was young, he was upright in the heyday of the Sui Dynasty. No one had the intention to rebel in the Sui Dynasty at that time. As a hereditary nobleman and a royal relative, the Li family was once a die-hard supporter of the Great Sui royal family. Li Shimin was also educated as a minister of the Great Sui Dynasty and was loyal to the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

The Sui Dynasty would decline in just over ten years, which was inseparable from the eastern expedition of Goguryeo. It can be said that if Emperor Yang Guang of Sui did not expedition of Goguryeo, the Sui Dynasty would never have perished. This is why, when Li Shimin talked about the eastern expedition, all the civil and military officials advised him. A simple reason is that the powerful Sui Dynasty was unable to conquer Goguryeo. Now, the Tang Dynasty, which is in ruins, can defeat Goguryeo?

This is just an ordinary person’s idea, but Li Shimin’s idea is different.

In Li Shimin's consciousness, conquering Goguryeo was not as difficult as imagined. The reason why the Sui Dynasty failed in the conquest was directly related to Emperor Yang of Sui's great joy and arrogance. He didn't need to have much military talent. Anyone who could fight a normal war would not defeat the war that could not lose no matter what.

The dispute between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo had a long history. As early as Emperor Wen of Sui, Goguryeo took advantage of the unification of the north and south of the Sui Dynasty and attacked the northeastern border of the Sui Dynasty on a small scale many times. After King Yingyang of Goguryeo succeeded to the throne, the special envoy of the Sui Dynasty met Goguryeo's special envoy in the Turks. Emperor Wen of Sui passed a letter to Goguryeo to terminate the alliance with the Turks, demanding that Goguryeo stop the years of invasion of the Sui border and express submission to the Sui Dynasty. Although Goguryeo's Yingyang King accepted the ultimatum of Emperor Gaozu of Sui on the surface, the next year, King Yingyang joined forces with Sui Mai to attack the Sui Dynasty's Cavalry Mansion in Jizhou Road.

In the 18th year of Kaihuang, Gao Yuan, the King of Yingyang of Goguryeo, "led more than 10,000 cavalry from the Marine Mountain to attack the western part of Liao" and was repelled by the Sui Dynasty. Goguryeo did not surrender, and still refused to obey orders and did not pay tribute.

Emperor Wen of Sui could not bear it anymore, and appointed King Yang Liang and Wang Shiji as the marshal of the army, leading 300,000 land and water to attack Goguryeo, Left Pushe Gao Yang as the chief secretary of the Han Dynasty, and Zhou Luohu as the chief of the navy. However, the conquest was not smooth. Yang Liang encountered heavy rains, transport was not continued, the army lacked food, and he encountered illness. Zhou Luohu went to sea from Donglai and marched towards Pyongyang City, but was exposed to wind in the middle of the journey, and the ships were mostly floating. The Sui army had to return on the water and land, and eight or nine out of ten died.

Seeing that the Sui army was so powerful, King Goguryeo was worried about the second conquest, so he apologized and claimed to be "the Yuan of the Liaodong dirt minister". Seeing that he could not do anything to him, Emperor Wen of Sui had to stop the army and endured it.

But when Emperor Yang of Sui, King Yingyang of Goguryeo carried the Sui Dynasty on his back and sent envoys to secretly communicate with the Turks, wanting to attack the Sui Dynasty on both sides. At that time, Emperor Yang of Sui was on the northern tour and stayed at the Turkic Qimin Khan. The Qimin Khan did not dare to hide it and told Emperor Yang of Sui about the incident.

Emperor Yang of Sui was very angry and asked someone to tell Goguryeo's envoys to come and see him, and let him be a minister and be a minister on time. If he did not blame him, he would treat him equally with the Khan of Qimin. However, King Yingyang of Goguryeo insisted on "not following" Emperor Yang of Sui, so Emperor Yang of Sui began to make up his mind to conquer this neighboring country with a disobedient heart.

In the sixth year of Daye, the Sui Dynasty pacified the Khitan and Tuyuhun and other neighboring countries, and its momentum reached its peak. In addition to Goguryeo, all the neighboring countries expressed their surrender. Goguryeo became the only thorn in the eyes and the thorn in the flesh, and became the biggest stain on Emperor Yang of Sui's civil and military achievements. The conquest of Goguryeo was already an arrow on the string and had to be fired.

Pei Ju, the Huangmen Minister, understood what Emperor Yang of Sui thought and persuaded Emperor Yang of Sui to threaten King Goguryeo to enter the court on the grounds that Goguryeo was originally a place that Jizi had granted, but now he did not obey the etiquette of his ministers. Gao Yuan, the King of Yingyang of Goguryeo, did not obey the etiquette, and gave Emperor Yang of Sui an excuse to conquer Goguryeo. The following year, Emperor Yang of Sui formally issued an edict to conquer Goguryeo and mobilized the whole country to fight to achieve complete success.

It was this idea that ruined the great situation of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of Sui ordered Yuan Hongsi, the general manager of Youzhou, to build 300 ships to Donglaihaikou. The prescribed date was very tight. In order to complete the task, the officials supervised the shipbuilding craftsmen to work day and night in the water and hardly dared to rest. Because they soaked in the water for a long time, maggots grew from their waists and died countless people. Emperor Yang of Sui also issued an edict to gather the troops and horses of the world, regardless of north and south, and far, to gather in Zhuo County. Not only did the people suffer money, but a large number of soldiers gathered, the chaos was not controlled effectively, and the surrounding people complained.

After gathering the world's army, Emperor Yang of Sui also recruited 10,000 sailors, 30,000 crossbowmen, and 30,000 platoons in Lingnan. He ordered Henan, Huainan and Jiangnan to build 50,000 chariots to Gaoyang to load armor and curtains, and to recruit civilians to supply military supplies. In the autumn of the seventh year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui recruited civilians and ships south of Jianghuai and transported Liyang and Luokou Cangmi to Zhuojun. The ships were more than a thousand miles apart, carrying armor and attacking tools. Hundreds of thousands of people were on the road for a long time, crowding the road, day and night, and the dead were sleeping together, and the foul road was filled. Before the war began, Emperor Yang of Sui had already mixed the world with complaints.

In this battle, the Sui army mobilized more than one million main battle soldiers, which was the highest in history. The Tang Dynasty now claims to have millions of soldiers, but in fact, it was not enough. However, even though Emperor Yang of Sui was full of complaints, he actually mobilized so many people. In addition to the civilians who transported food and grass for the army, more than five million people participated in the war directly.

How many people were there in Goguryeo? Five million people participated in the war, and even if one spitted, they could drown the Goguryeo people. In Li Shimin's opinion, this was a war that could not be defeated no matter how hard he fought. Even if he had a dog to command, he could win the war. This was indeed the case, but unfortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui also thought so.

Since I can't lose no matter how hard I fight, why can't I reflect my kingly army and the demeanor of the Celestial Kingdom? So a battle of national destiny became the "hype" of Emperor Yang of Sui's martial arts.

Emperor Yang of Sui decided to lead the army in person!

When Emperor Yang of Sui decided to lead the army in person, the civil and military officials in the court did not object. They also felt that although Emperor Yang of Sui had a little trouble in this battle and had some complaints among the people, a big victory was enough to fill all these complaints. The emperor wanted to show his martial arts and let him show it. So there were flattery words inside and outside the court. Emperor Yang of Sui believed these words and became more and more "slutty".

He divided more than one million troops into three groups, and in the left and right. In addition to the central army, the left and right armies divided into twelve groups and set up formations. In order to "dividify military achievements equally", Emperor Yang of Sui assigned tasks to each party, and planned to meet in Pyongyang after completing their respective tasks. However, when Emperor Yang of Sui, King Yingyang of Goguryeo carried the Sui Dynasty on his back and sent envoys to secretly communicate with the Turks, wanting to attack the Sui Dynasty on both sides. At that time, Emperor Yang of Sui was on a northern tour and stayed at the Turkic Qimin Khan. The Qimin Khan did not dare to hide it and told Emperor Yang of Sui about the matter.
