In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, a war that made the entire Tang Dynasty pay attention, made the people of the Tang Dynasty think that they had a chance to breathe, and let the great cannibals breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the Tang Dynasty could not focus on the war from the west for at least ten years, which ended perfectly in the world's faults. (This chapter was uploaded by netizens)

The reason why the people of the Tang Dynasty focused on attention, the Ayurians believed that they had a chance to breathe, and the reason why the great cannibals thought they could enjoy more than ten years without worrying about how to face the Tang court was only one reason. Just a few decades ago, the former Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, and there was basically no good result. The Goguryeo was defeated, but the former Sui Dynasty also had a difficult victory, and it consumed a lot of national strength, the national treasury was empty, and they had to dig canals and build many water conservancy fortifications, which led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

It can be said that if the former Sui Dynasty had changed its approach, and would not have completed many things in a few years, and do it all in one go, and do not overwhelm the people. Perhaps there would be no Li Tang, and even Li Yuan would not have any rebellious thoughts.

This is the difference between education and non-education. The people of the former Sui Dynasty were also simple, but due to the insufficient education they received, they could not see so far away, not see the threat from the Goguryeo people, not see the benefits of transportation that the Grand Canal could bring in many years to come, and not see the far-reaching impact of water conservancy projects on agriculture. Most of the concerns are the immediate interests. Since the emperor made it difficult for them to live a difficult time at the moment, they would just turn against him!

The slap of the hand cannot be sounded, and the people are not entirely due to insufficient education. The emperor's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits is also a reason. He wanted to give the Chinese people a good living and production conditions in a short period of time, but he forgot whether the people could withstand the current difficulties. With the use of those who are interested, the excavation of the Grand Canal was said to be the emperor's extravagance and desire, and the conquest of Goguryeo was said to be a military force, a goal of fame, etc. In fact, the people did not know that Goguryeo existed for one day, and it was a sharp sword hanging on the head of the Great Sui Dynasty. Instead of letting it hang, it would be better to take some effort to pick it off; and the opening of the Grand Canal was for the transportation between the north and the south.

Those who said that the emperor built the Grand Canal for his own sake, were simply talking nonsense. Where is the Sui capital? Daxing, that is, Chang'an. He really wanted to make his own convenience, why didn't he build a canal directly from the Wei River beside Chang'an to the river, and then go straight to Yangzhou? It can be said that when the Grand Canal was built, the emperor only used a short section, which was less than a hundred miles from the river to Yangzhou! Could it be that after the canal was built, he had to abandon the convenient canal and take other roads to Yangzhou? Didn't he know how to build a wide road from Chang'an to the river?

Even if you go to the Wei River, enter the river, and then walk the canal, it doesn't have to be that long. Moreover, the Grand Canal was not dug in the Sui Dynasty, but started with King Fuchai of Wu. The Emperor of Sui just extended it, and later went to Yuanmeng and further extended it to Dadu (now Beijing). It took more than a thousand years to go, but no other emperor said that he was for his selfish desires. In the former Sui Dynasty, he became the emperor to satisfy his selfish desires?

Wang Kuang really thought that Emperor Sui was too unfair. However, it was no longer his business. But it was precisely because of the examples of the former Sui Dynasty. Everyone thought that this battle would last for a long time. It was almost certain that the Tang Dynasty could win, but it would not be much better. At least, it was certain that the vitality was severely damaged.

The people of the Tang Dynasty felt that it was not long since the Sui Dynasty was destroyed, and they still remember it fresh. But when they heard that this was mainly fought by Jian'an Houli, they were still full of confidence and no one was panicked. In addition, all prefectures and counties have already closely monitored the merchants who might have hoarded. Moreover, the granaries in the world are full, so they are not afraid. The same is true for the people. Every family has surplus grain, and they are not afraid of it for two years. Therefore, the people are not panicked, but just made the worst plans. If they do it, they still have to live the life they should live. Who said that this battle was fought by Jian'an Hou? He said that he wanted to fight, so he must be sure.

Others thought that the Tang Dynasty would be in silence for a few years, so they were glad. However, what they didn't expect was that they received the news that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Goguryeo for a few months. The news said that Goguryeo was destroyed! What? It just died like this? You know, Goguryeo resisted three conquests of the former Sui Dynasty, and caused heavy losses to the former Sui Dynasty. It has only been a few months since then, and it was destroyed. In winter, the Goguryeo people have the advantage.

Even Wang Kuang did not expect that the Battle of Goguryeo would end so quickly. He originally thought that it would not end until at least the end of next spring. Unexpectedly, in only half a year, Goguryeo would be completely destroyed. Instead of Wang Kuang's original optimism, it was estimated that the Goguryeo people would be destroyed. This ending was much better than his optimism.

Wang Kuang originally set up a naval army to divide into three groups, and then the garrisons in Hebei were also divided into three groups. Each army merged with the corresponding naval army, thus cutting Goguryeo into three large pieces. Later, Li Shiji joined, at most, only one more army. Wang Kuang's idea was to eat two pieces to achieve his goal.

Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaoben's robbery caused a change. It turned out that Mo Xiaoben met the princess of King Silla while following Li Ke on a tour. The two fell in love at first sight. Later, after Princess Silla returned, she was forcibly betrothed to Prince Goguryeo, which led to the saying that Mo Xiaoben was going to rob the robbery.

Li Ke supported Mo Xiaoben to rob the bride because he was a romantic seed and praised this kind of thing very much. In addition, when they visited, Li Ke did not reveal his identity, and Mo Xiaoben was dressed as a family general. Princess Silla did not know that Li Ke was the prince of the Tang Dynasty and a king with a higher status than her father. Being able to fall in love with a family general shows that she doesn't care about family background, which shows that she has a good personality, so Li Ke supports it.

When Wang Kuang learned that Li Ke was going to rob the bride, Wang Kuang made another arrangement. Someone from the Jianzhou navy arrived in Silla in advance. After joining Mo Xiaoben, he realized that the Silla King had lost power over the years and was a puppet king. All the government had fallen into the hands of several powerful ministers. These powerful ministers had long been bribed by Goguryeo and were determined to surrender Goguryeo. Their reasons were very sufficient. Silla bordered Goguryeo and had no direct border with the Tang Dynasty. It was clear who was close to who was far away. Instead of letting Goguryeo stare at it in the east, it would be better to surrender and deal with it. Of course, this is true and false. Only God knows.

So there was a drama against Wang Kuang, and the result was very dramatic. When nearly 20,000 Goguryeo people took a long way around, Qiao Zhuang dressed up to Jiannan and was arrested, but no one ran away. When the soldiers below reported and said they had all caught them, Wu Yuanqing even doubted whether he had heard it wrong. You know, this was nearly 30,000 people, not 3,000, not 300! How many people in the Jiannan Army were only 5,000! Even if the Luzon Port garrison, which belonged to the Jianzhou Navy, was only 10,000, and 10,000 people arrested 30,000 people, but he didn't hurt himself. What's that?

In fact, the reason why he was able to catch so many people so easily was because the Goguryeo people thought that they had Wu Yuanqing's handwritten letter and seized Wu Yuanqing's handle. Even if Wu Yuanqing was a fake cooperation, he had to cooperate really, but they didn't know that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty knew all this clearly. Even Wu Yuanqing was assigned by the emperor. Why was he afraid that you would catch any handle?

Therefore, the Goguryeo people were tragic. Nearly 30,000 people were there, so where could they come at the same time? They should also be on guard against the Tang Dynasty, so they came in batches and times. Well, dozens or hundreds of people came at a time, and when these dozens or hundreds of people came, they directly came to Wu Yuanqing because they asked Wu Yuanqing to organize them into the military camp. This is the sheep that entered the tiger's mouth. A group of sheep came and caught a group of soldiers. The soldiers were all caught softly. Finally, they waited until the last group of Goguryeo people said that they were the last group, and then they had a chance to rest.

Since I was caught, I’m welcome to escort them all to the Central Plains and renovate them in various places. If the transformation is effective, I will be escort them to the Uighurs to work. Only when I have accumulated certain achievements can I get rid of my slavery. This is a story later. These people are still renovating them in various places.

When Wu Yuanqing saw so many people, he was so easy to catch, and he turned his eyes and thought about it. He was also a well-known general, but the old generals such as Li Jing were too dazzling and covered his light. He quickly wrote a letter to the Jianzhou Navy, suggesting that this and this.

As a result, after receiving Wu Yuanqing's letter, the Jianzhou navy blatantly went to Silla with great fanfare. When the Silla and the Goguryeo people heard that they were sent by the Jiannan army, saying that they had already controlled half of the Jianzhou navy's ships. They were very happy and hurriedly gave in and let the Jianzhou navy go straight in. Later, when Yuchi Baolin saw this lively, he couldn't help but send his Nanyingzhou and Beiyingzhou town troops.

Half of it went, and it was said that it was from Jiannan. His half of the army was at a very good time. With the reinforcements of the three thousand strong soldiers in Japan, Li Yesi and Wang Linbo simply left 5,000 soldiers and sent another 5,000 soldiers to easily capture Baekje. Although Baekje was known as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, they had already formed an alliance with Goguryeo and spoke to the Goguryeo, the later master who recognized him, and so they quickly took it down.

Considering that all the armies had already penetrated into Goguryeo, the Tang army stationed in Silla and Baekje suddenly controlled all the dignitaries and nobles. The King of Silla also announced in time that he had been hostage by the Goguryeo people and had now escaped and formally requested the Tang court to send troops to reinforce Silla.
