Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Xiao were sitting on a high hill watching the thrilling scene. Gradually, the chaos on the east bank gradually dispersed. The flags of Goguryeo were waved frequently again, and the shouts of killing from the Sui army disappeared.

Hit and hit, the sound of killing was extinguished and the sword's light dimmed. After a while, Fan Zigai came hurriedly, bowed and said:"Your Majesty, General Mai Tiezhang will attack him."……"

"how is he?"

Looking at Emperor Sui Yang's eager eyes, Fan Zigai lowered his voice and said:"He was killed in battle."

"ah?" Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was shocked and surprised. After a while, several soldiers carried a body to the hill. Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and Queen Xiao quickly stood up and looked at it. It was the pioneer officer Mai Tiezhang. Several pieces of armor were already there. In the chaotic battle, his clothes were soaked with water drops and blood, and his iron staff died in battle. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was furious,"Little Goguryeo, the ants are too arrogant. Kill my pioneer officer of the Sui Dynasty. This revenge will not be avenged." , when for? Fan

Zigai and Zhuge Ying looked at each other. Zhuge Ying admonished and said:"Mai Tiezhang fought three battles in a row, but could not cross the river. This gave Goguryeo an advantage and boosted its morale. Your Majesty, please do not act rashly. You need to consider the long term.""

"I can't wait any longer and order Qu Tutong, Qu Tugai, Yu Juluo and Yu Ju Zan to line up their troops and forcefully cross the Liao River!"

Fan Zigai felt that what Zhuge Ying said was reasonable, and he was muttering in his heart. When Emperor Sui Yang saw the two of them in a daze, he shouted angrily:"What are you waiting for? Go quickly!"

"Obey...obey the order!" Fan Zigai did not dare to offend Long Yan, so he had to go down to deliver the order.

Zhuge Ying saw Fan Zigai leaving with a look of reluctance, and then admonished him:"Your Majesty, if you can use local materials to build an archery tower war The boat, with its bows and crossbows fired from a high position, can easily cross the river. The casualties of a strong attack are too great, and the gains outweigh the losses. Emperor

Sui Yang had an impatient look on his face, his nose was puffing up, and he didn't want to pay attention. Empress Xiao persuaded beside her:"What Master Zhuge said is quite reasonable. Let's build a tall warship first.""

Queen Xiao also spoke to persuade, which made Emperor Sui Yang look a little embarrassed, and said:"It is inevitable for a general to die at the front of the battle. Now there are millions of troops with a momentum like a rainbow. How can a person who achieves great things look forward and backward for a few soldiers who died in battle? After saying that, she threw up her sleeves and left.

Empress Xiao stood alone in the viewing tent and was silent for a long time. Looking at Zhuge Ying, who was already a little hunched in her old age, Xiao Jun asked:"In the opinion of your love, I will attack Goguryeo." How about success or failure? Zhuge

Ying's face was slightly depressed and she said indifferently:"Although we can cross the Liao River, we can't tell the truth about the outcome.""

Although Zhuge Ying's words were vague, Xiao Jun understood in his heart that as a loyal minister, Zhuge Ying said that the outcome was unpredictable, which actually meant that the battle would be bad.

Thinking of the many disadvantages of the Eastern Expedition, Xiao Jun's mind was confused Ru Ma, when they were confused and frozen, suddenly the horns sounded and the war drums beat. Xiao Jun and Zhuge Ying looked along the river bank and saw hundreds of light boats carrying Sui soldiers, forcibly crossing the Liao River and storming the east bank. The war between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait resumed, with arrows raining like rain, and the sound of killings shaking the sky, which was horrifying.

Qu Tutong, Qu Tugai, Yu Juluo, and Yu Ju Zan led four groups of elite troops to attack along the entire length of the Liao River. Blood flowed on the river. The river formed, and the corpses were soaked. Tens of thousands of Sui soldiers rushed across the Liao River, stepping on the corpses of the dead soldiers in front, and defeated the Goguryeo defenders on the east bank. They won the Liao River victory at a heavy price. It can be said that they recklessly sent troops to cross the river without knowing the cost. Seek majesty. Don't say that the emperor is ambitious. You should know that there will be many casualties in fierce battles.

The rolling waves of Liao are weeping with blood, and the corpses are piled up in the long river. The clank iron cavalry leveled Fanzhai, and everyone was elegy for fighting for peace step by step.

The natural danger of Liaohe River was lost, and the soldiers and horses of Goguryeo were in danger. After being defeated for thousands of miles, they retreated to the east bank of the Datong River (today's Yalu River), holding on to the natural dangers. The Sui army, which was unfavorable in the first battle, finally got a bad breath.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was in the main hall of the Guanfengxing Hall, fighting with several The ministers discussed the military situation and saw Duan Wenzhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, hurrying to the palace tent and paying homage to the emperor. Yang Guang asked,"What's important for Duan Aiqing?" Duan

Wenzhen said:"The Goryeo soldiers and horses are retreating steadily. General Yujuluo's troops have surrounded Liaodong City. Generals Yin Shishi and Xue Shixiong have led their troops to pursue them to the west bank of the Datong River."

"good! Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was overjoyed:"Bring me some pen and ink. Today is a great victory. I want to show my pride!""

When all the officials saw that Emperor Sui Yang was about to use brush and ink, they all praised him and praised the emperor's civil and military skills. The eunuch prepared the pen and ink, and Emperor Sui Yang wrote a poem"White Horse" without hesitation and full of joy:"White Horse

Gold" Shell suit, running rampant by the Liao River. Asked whose family son, Su Wei Yu Linlang. Wenxi's armor with six attributes, sword with seven stars. The empty bow of the mountain resounds, the sound of the earth's horns is long. Wanhe promotes courage, Longshu is good at it Powerful.

Luntai was surrendered, and Gao Que became famous as a king. He shot a bear into Feiguan, and the school hunted Changyang. His famous name bullied Huo Wei, and his wise policy despised Pingliang. When the barbarians were in the island, they were disrespectful, and Hui violated the border. The conscripts gathered in Jibei. , Qingqi rides out of Yuyang.

I pledged myself to the country. Kuang Fu was outstanding in martial arts, which made him famous for thousands of years. When everyone saw the poems of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, they were all full of praise and praise. Suddenly, when everyone was praising him, Zhuge Ying, the official in charge, came to Guanfengxing Hall with a serious expression and a dull face. He bowed his hands and said:"Your Majesty, you can't cross the river at this time."

"Um? General Feng Xiaoci blinked, looked at Zhuge Ying and asked:"Doctor Zhuge, do you always wake up before talking? What's wrong with the Liaohe victory and the pursuit of victory?""

Feng Xiaoci's sarcasm made everyone laugh and joke that Zhuge Ying was old and confused. Zhuge Ying frowned and stared. He ignored Feng Xiaoci and others and said to Emperor Yang:"The trees east of the Liao River , all were cut down and used by Goguryeo. Our army has no wood to build ships. If we retreat urgently, there will be chaos with more people and fewer ships. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty looked at Zhuge Ying with a trace of contempt on his face:"Zhuge Ying, I think you are really stupid. In less than fifteen days, a million cavalry will flatten Goguryeo. How can there be an emergency withdrawal of troops?"

Zhuge Ying bowed and said,"Old minister, this is just in case."……"

"presumptuous!"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said angrily:"I am leading a million-strong army and conducting the expedition myself. How can anything happen? If I didn't think you were an old minister, I would have asked you for slandering the government!"

When Zhuge Ying saw that Emperor Sui Yang had been dazzled by the temporary victory, he did not care about the future troubles and did not accept any advice. He was so angry that his eyes darkened and he fainted in the palace. Yu

Shiji, Fan Zigai and others were on the side. Several military generals rushed over to help and arranged for people to carry Zhuge Ying down. Fan Zigai felt that Zhuge Ying's words were reasonable and bowed:"Your Majesty, what Doctor Zhuge said……"

"This old fool is really unlucky and ruined my happiness. Fan

Zigai saw that Sui Yang Emperor Long Yan was angry and swallowed back half of what he said. Emperor Sui Yang waved his hand to Fan Zigai:"Go and see Zhuge Ying. Don't be so young.""

……

Facing the cool breeze, Queen Xiao Jun and Chen Guiren have been waiting on the bank of the Liao River to watch the people heading east. The Goguryeo soldiers and horses were lost in the Liaohe River and retreated one after another towards Liaodong City (now Heishan, Liaoning). The Sui army pursued them vigorously, and the 24th Army set out one after another.

A familiar figure flashed across the street, and Empress Xiao's eyes lit up. It was Xiao Jue, the uncle of the Five Kingdoms. After the vanguard Mai Tiezhang was killed, General Xue Shixiong was appointed as the vanguard officer. Xiao Jue was ordered to take over the troops of Mai Tiezhang. , Xiao Jue was named General Zuo Xiaowei and joined the army in the war.

At this time, Xiao Jue was wearing a bright silver unicorn helmet, bright silver fish scale armor, a red badger horse on his hip, and a sword on his waist. He changed his frail demeanor and showed off his majestic and heroic appearance.

Xiao Jun came closer, dismounted from his horse and knelt down to Queen Xiao. Xiao Jun took two steps closer, and the two siblings felt inexplicably like a strong man who will never return. Xiao Jue showed a look of confidence on her face and said cheerfully:"My queen, you don't have to worry about me. Wherever the power of God goes, you will win without a doubt.""

"I hope so, take care, seventh brother."Xiao Jun's sad face eased slightly, but he was still full of worries.

Xiao Jun saw his sister's thoughts and said to Xiao Jun:"My queen, don't worry, I will take care of you."Xiao Jun said goodbye to Xiao Jun and followed the troops to the east.

Seeing the figure of his seventh brother Xiao Jun leaving with the army, Xiao Jun felt reluctant to leave. At this time, Zuo Qianniu of Fengchaan came to Queen Xiao in Dugu Wudu He bowed to his side and said,"I would like to inform you, Doctor Zhuge Ying is ill.""

"oh?"Zhuge Ying is Empress Xiao's master, and she is resourceful and highly valued by the empress. Empress Xiao asked:"Doctor Zhuge was in good health yesterday, why did he suddenly become ill?"

Dugu Wudu said:"I heard that Dr. Zhuge came to admonish the emperor, but was reprimanded by the emperor. He was worried, angry and sick."

"Take me to see the emperor quickly."

Queen Xiao hurriedly followed Dugu Wudu to see Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was in the Guanfengxing Palace. He was reading the"White Horse" written by him alone, admiring himself. When he saw the figure of Xiao Jun, Sui Yang Emperor Yang said:"It's time now. Let's take a look at my song"The White Horse". How does it compare with the song"The White Horse" written by Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms?"

"Your Majesty, did you reject Zhuge Ying's advice today?"

"Yes, I rejected Zhuge Ying. He is old and confused and useless."

Queen Xiao said:"As the emperor's teacher, Zhuge Ying has great plans. The emperor must not disbelieve her."

"My million-strong army is pursuing victory and its morale is at its peak. How can it be that because of the lack of a few ships, the opportunity to fight will be delayed? He is still old. The couple were talking when they saw Pei Yun hurriedly arrived, bowed and said:"Your Majesty

, Yu Wenshu, Xue Shixiong and other troops have crossed the Datong River eastward, and Lai Hu'er has led the navy across the sea to Liujing to meet him. land army"

"good!"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty looked pretentious and said with a smile:"Have you heard, Queen? My heavenly soldiers, advancing by land and water, are approaching Liujing. We can pacify Goguryeo within a few days."It can be said that millions of troops are crossing the river eastward, and Goguryeo is in danger. They march to Lincheng by land and water to see who will suffer disaster in the decisive battle.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty issued a military order, and all Sui armies advanced into Goguryeo. At this time, come to protect your children, Zhou Fashang led his navy into the Jianshui River, landed ashore, and cooperated with the land route to attack Goguryeo.

Laihu'er's army was marching all the way, and suddenly an express message came from the front. Tan Ma said:"Inform the governor, the vanguard officers are coming to rectify, and the Goguryeo soldiers are defeated." , set up camp sixty miles west of Liujing City. The name of the capital of Goguryeo was Ryugyong (today's Pyongyang). He was overjoyed when he came to protect his children. He said to his deputy Zhou Fashang:"

As we move forward, our navy is invincible and unstoppable. The capital of Goguryeo is right in front of us. We should take the lead and capture it." Ryugyong. Zhou Fashang said:"

The emperor has a decree. When we arrive at Liujing first, we must meet all the soldiers and horses and march at the same time.""

"Huh, the army of one million people is bloated and clumsy. It has not yet crossed the Sa River, but our navy has already arrived in front of Liujing City. The first victory is just in front of us. How can we wait for others to take the credit? Zhou

Fashang said:"If the governor must attack Liujing, I would like to lead an army as a backup just in case."""Okay, just follow General."Laihu'er mobilized an infantry of 40,000 horses, went straight to Liujing, and handed over most of the troops to the command of Zhou Fashang.

After landing, Laihu'er's navy drove straight in, as if entering an uninhabited country, and killed them at the gate of Liujing City. I saw a general from Goguryeo, this man named Gao Jianwu, leading his troops to line up under the city.

After watching the enemy's formation for a while, he came to protect his son and said,"Who can go out to fight?""

"The child is willing to go."I saw the Sixth Young Master coming to fight, clapping his horse and raising his spear, and went straight to Gao Jianwu. Gao Jianwu waved his sword to fight. The two fought. After only ten rounds, Gao Jianwu couldn't resist, so he retreated in defeat. The Goryeo soldiers and horses under his command fled back to the city in embarrassment.

Laihu'er was overjoyed and ordered to beat drums to attack the city. They saw ladders, crashing cars, and rushing cars all rushing up. Before the soldiers who attacked the city climbed to the top of the city, they saw that the city gate below was loose. After a few blows, it was blocked by the Sui army. The roof of the car was knocked open. The sixth son came to celebrate and led a group of soldiers and horses to rush into Liujing City.

When they entered the city, Laizheng walked along the street, but no panicked people were seen. Could it be that the majestic capital of Goguryeo was actually an empty city? I was hesitating. At that time, suddenly Korean soldiers appeared from the pavilions in the city, drew their bows and arrows, and shot like rain randomly. They came to check that something was wrong, and shouted:"You have fallen into the trap!""

The Sui troops turned their horses around one after another, and when they were about to withdraw, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and the shouts of killing. Many Korean soldiers and horses poured out of the temples, courtyards, streets and alleys, and fought out together with the Sui troops in the city. The army started fighting in the streets.

One of the generals rushed out of the city and reported to the governor:"Report to the governor that something bad is going on. The Sixth Young Master fell into the trap and there is an ambush in the city."Lai Hu'er was shocked and immediately led his troops into the city to meet him. Lai's father and his son fought hard and lost many soldiers and horses before escaping from the city.

Lai Hu'er and his son were defeated and fled. Goryeo general Gao Jianwu led his troops to fight out again. , pursued all the way to Jianshui, and saw the Sui navy warships in the distance. Gao Jianwu was ecstatic and shouted loudly:"Hurry up and follow me to burn the Sui navy warships to win the first prize!""The Korean soldiers fought bravely.

Suddenly, hundreds of chariots appeared on the hillside on the bank. They went down and dispersed the pursuing Korean soldiers. Zhou Fashang had already prepared a tight formation and killed the Korean soldiers who were defeated. Let's take a look at the chaos of the pursuing troops and turn around. The horse's head was attached to the bow and arrow, and with a"swish" sound, it hit Gao Jianwu's arm. Gao Jianwu found that the rear army was coming to protect his son, so he had to send an order to withdraw the troops and return to Liujing City. The

Goryeo soldiers and horses were ambushed by Zhou Fashang, and then Defeated. Lai Hu'er and his son also heaved a sigh of relief. When they saw Zhou Fashang, Lai Hu'er clasped his fists and said,"Thank you, General Zhou, for your help. I regret that I didn't listen to the general's advice. That's why Lai Hu'er suffered such a disastrous defeat.""

Seeing that the guardian was so ashamed, Zhou Fashang comforted him and said:"Today's battle shows that Goguryeo has been on guard for a long time and cannot advance rashly."After some deliberation, we had no choice but to station our troops at the seaside and not dare to enter Liujing lightly. This is what it means: Three hundred warships show off their majesty, and troops are dispatched across the sea with cannons roaring.

It is a pity that Goryeo sheds blood in vain, and Liujing City dares to claim the throne.

Twenty-four The army on the road, with 350,000 soldiers and horses from nine routes, crossed the Datong River. The supply of military supplies gradually became difficult. Yu Wenshu led the front army and inspected the rations. He was very worried and summoned all the governors to gather in the Chinese army's tent to talk. Regarding the issue of military rations, Yuwen said:"Now that we are short of food and grass, it is better to retreat temporarily and wait for reinforcements."

Everyone was talking and discussing, but the commander-in-chief Yu Zhongwen said:"The nine-way army and 300,000 people can't defeat the thieves. How can we go to see the emperor?"

Murong Sanzang, Xue Shixiong, Yin Shishi, Xiao Jue and others sitting aside discussed with each other and hesitated. Yu Zhongwen said loudly:"Zhongwen's trip is completely in vain. Only good generals from ancient times can succeed. The battle of war depends on one person. Nowadays, everyone has their own intentions. How can we defeat the enemy?"

Yu Wenshu asked:"The army's rations are limited. Even if we attack Liujing City, how can we take care of food and drink?"

"When the time comes, there will be water troops coming to protect the children, and warships will transport food, which is better than horses. When the time comes, there will be no need to worry about the lack of army food." Yu Zhongwen said this. The generals who followed Yang Guang in the southern and northern wars were all moved. Among them, Yu Wenshu was senior and senior, and he was Yang Guang's favorite. Everyone looked up to him.

Yu Wenshu wanted to retreat, but he himself Being told by Yu Zhongwen that he lost face again, he had no choice but to agree, and vowed to the generals:"Although the food and grass are tight, I see that General Yu understands the righteousness, and I feel deeply ashamed. Even if the emperor blames me in the future, I will bear the responsibility alone."."

Yu Wenshu behaved like this, and Yu Zhongwen and other generals were greatly moved, and they all said:"We share the responsibility for the crime with the people of the country!"Everyone was in harmony and went back to camp to give orders to set off.

Only Yuwenshu returned to his sleeping tent with a sad face. When his two sons, Yuwen Wenji and Yuwenzhiji, saw their father's anxiety, they asked why. Yuwen told what happened today and couldn't help but talk. He said:"If the emperor is really to blame, how can I shirk the blame?"Yu Wenshu is not consistent with his words. There is no justice between his two sons. It can be said that only good things can be said in front of others, and bad tricks must be done behind the scenes.

Officials and people have two sides, and treacherous ministers are not afraid of disaster.
