    In February, the Goguryeo envoys came to the DPRK. Within two days, Yang Guang suddenly issued an order to conquer Goguryeo.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan had not returned to Chang'an, so he was shocked when he heard this inquiry.  The direct cause of the decline of the Sui Dynasty was the three conquests of Goguryeo, which ultimately caused the huge Sui Empire to collapse.  This time the expedition to Goguryeo was carried out nearly a year earlier than in history, and the results were unpredictable.

    Huang Mingyuan was in a state of confusion. There had been no sign of conquering Goguryeo before, so why did Yang Guang suddenly take the initiative.

    Huang Mingyuan did not understand the cause of the matter, so he did not go directly to the palace to remonstrate. Instead, he came to his father-in-law Pei Ju to understand the cause and effect of the matter.

    Huang Mingyuan hurried to Pei Mansion. It was rare that his father-in-law was not waiting in front of the emperor.

    Pei Ju is sixty-three this year. He still runs around from east to west, and his body and bones are also strong.  Seeing Huang Mingyuan coming, he quickly led him into the study.

    "Master Taishan, why does the emperor want to conquer Goguryeo?"

    Pei Ju said nonchalantly: "Goguryeo has a disobedient heart, so the emperor wants to challenge it, why not?"

    Pei Ju¡¯s reason was so direct and sufficient that Huang Mingyuan couldn¡¯t even refute it.

    In fact, Goguryeo has always been a concern of the Sui Dynasty, and the conquest of Goguryeo was really not a whim of Yang Guang.

    Goguryeo was a regime that existed in Northeast China and the Korean Peninsula from the first century BC to the seventh century AD.  Its people are mainly Haoqian, Fuyu and Han people, and later absorbed some Mohe people, remnants of ancient Korea and Sanhan people.

    Goguryeo was originally a small country in the northeast of my country. When Cao Wei attacked the eastern part of Liao Dynasty, he was defeated by Cao Wei general Guanqiu Jian. The capital was also destroyed by Guan Qiujian, and King Dongchuan of Goguryeo fled to Woju (the northern part of the Korean Peninsula).

    After the Yongjia Rebellion, Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and continued to steal land in Liaodong. By the time of King Changshou, Goguryeo's territory reached its peak, bordering the Sea of ??Japan in the east, Asan Bay and Zhuling in the south, the Liaohe River in the west, and everything in the northeast.  Lou's land.

    During the time of chaos in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, everyone attacked each other and did not care about the Northeast.  However, after the Sui Dynasty unified the world, Goguryeo in the northeast became a problem, like a fish in the throat.

    In terms of topography, Goguryeo is located high up, overlooking western Liaoning.  From western Liaoning to the south, past the Yanshan Mountains, there is the Qianli Plain.  For the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo strategically threatened the Hebei region of the Sui Dynasty.  A powerful country in the northeast is not in line with the security strategy of the Sui Dynasty (this has never changed in history).

    However, because the main enemy of the Sui Dynasty was the Turks, they had always been on the defensive against Goguryeo.

    In the seventeenth year of Emperor Kaihuang¡¯s reign (597), King Pingyang of Goguryeo and Mohe preemptively attacked the military garrison in western Liaoning, but were driven back by Wei Cheng, the general manager of Yingzhou.  The following year, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian appointed Han Wang Yang Liang and Shangzhu Wang Shiji as marching marshals, and Zhou Luohou as the general manager of the navy. He led an army of 300,000 to attack Goguryeo by land and water.  Yang Liang, king of Han, led the Sui army by land out of Linyu Pass.  It was the rainy season, the roads were muddy, and supplies of food and grass were insufficient. The army was short of food and suffered from epidemics.  The Sui army on the water route, led by Zhou Luohou, set out to sea from Donglai (now Ye County, Shandong Province) and went straight to Pyongyang City, the capital of Goguryeo. The troops encountered strong winds at sea and many of their ships sank.  On September 21, the land and water routes were forced to return.  The Sui army suffered eighty-nine out of ten casualties and was forced to retreat in this battle.  Goguryeo also suffered heavy losses. King Gaoyuan of Yingyang was frightened by the power of the Sui army and sent an envoy to apologize. He was forced to submit a petition as "Liaodong Dungtuchen Yuan" and asked him to be his vassal.

    Yang Jian had no choice but to stop his troops and treat him as before.

    After the Great Sui Dynasty destroyed the Turks, the situation in the entire north changed drastically. At this time, Goguryeo lost the ability to ease the conflict with the Great Sui Dynasty, so it was wary of fear that the Great Sui Dynasty would attack it.

    Last year, Qimin Khan was seriously ill. When Yang Guang visited Fenyang Palace in the north, he went to the north to visit.

    When Yang Guang arrived at Qimin Khan's camp, it happened that the Korean envoy was also in Qimin Khan's camp. Qimin Khan did not dare to hide it, so he asked him to see Yang Guang.

    "Okay, I called you several times, but you didn't come. Instead, you were interested in flirting with the Turks.

    Yang Guangzheng was worried that he had no excuse to teach Goguryeo a lesson, so he scolded the other party for "having evil intentions", which scared the Goguryeo envoy to sweat.

    At this time, Pei Ju took the opportunity to say: "The land originally entrusted by Jizi in Gaoli was a prefecture and county in the Han and Jin Dynasties; now it is not a minister, and it is a foreign land. The late emperor wanted to conquer it for a long time, but Yang Liang was unworthy and his efforts were in vain.  . When Your Majesty was in charge, An Ke was not allowed to take it, and the crown belt became the homeland of barbarians! Now that his envoys have personally witnessed the enlightenment of the people and the whole country, they can be frightened and threaten the envoys to enter the dynasty. "

    Yang Guangda is happy that now all the Yi people are in uniform, only Goguryeo in the northeast is still making small moves frequently, which is an eyesore.

    So Yang Guang asked Niu Hong to declare: "I will serve the country sincerely to enlighten the people.", so I came to his tent in person.  Next year I will go to Zhuojun, and I will tell the King of Korea: Do not doubt or be afraid of yourself, the gift of raising children should be like enlightening the people.  If you don't go to court, the general will lead the people to patrol that land.  "

    Yang Guang's attitude is that if you go to Hajj on time, let bygones be bygones and treat you with courtesy; if you don't come, I will take the army to your country to see you. It is really a naked threat.

    King Gaoyuan of Yingyang was greatly frightened when he heard that the Sui Dynasty at this time was more powerful than in history, and even the big brother Turks had been destroyed. How could he have the courage to resist the Sui Dynasty, so he prepared to go to the Sui Dynasty to meet him.

    At this time, Goguryeo's Prime Minister Yeon Taejo, veterans Eulji Mundeok, Kang Yishi and others objected, believing that the Sui Dynasty had ulterior motives and had to be on guard.

    Gao Yuan himself was also afraid that the Sui Emperor would detain him, so he did not dare to come to the Sui Dynasty. He only sent an envoy to pay homage to Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty.

    For Yang Guang, he already had other feelings for Goguryeo, and Gao Yuan's disobedience to the king gave Yang Guang the best excuse.  In these years, the armies of the Sui Dynasty defeated the Turks in the north, Yiwu and Tuyuhun in the west, Linyi in the south, and Liuqiu in the east.  His reputation is great and he can go anywhere.  Goguryeo was a tiny place, but Yang Guang didn't care.

    "And by destroying Goguryeo, the stability of the entire northeast will be guaranteed, and his name as the Heavenly Khan will become more justified.

    Pei Ju told Huang Mingyuan in detail about Yang Guang's eastern expedition to Goguryeo. Huang Mingyuan's brows became more and more tense.  At this time, Pei Ju also saw something strange about Huang Mingyuan, so he asked: "Goguryeo is a problem that only affects the armpits and must be eliminated to bring peace to the world. Mingyuan frowned, but something is wrong."

    Huang Mingyuan pondered for a while before saying: "It's not that Goguryeo should not be conquered, but that the court's move was too hasty and not the way to use troops."

    Pei Ju smiled and said: "It's a small Goguryeo, and we cut it down as soon as we can. How can we be so careless?"

    Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This was the horror of information asymmetry. He had no way of explaining the risks involved to others.  Everyone felt that Goguryeo was just a small country that could be defeated in a single battle. This was the most terrifying thing. No one knew Goguryeo's strength and heritage at all.

    The matter has come to this, and this matter is probably going to become a foregone conclusion.

    Huang Mingyuan had no choice but to say to Pei Ju: "Father-in-law, this battle is no small matter. I am afraid it will be more dangerous than the previous Turks. Therefore, the emperor must make me the commander in this battle and not others. Moreover, the soldiers are better and not more numerous.  Therefore, I only need 200,000 men to defeat Goguryeo, but if there are more, I might be in trouble."

    Seeing Huang Mingyuan being so cautious, Pei Ju couldn't help but become cautious.  He knew that his son-in-law was never unreasonable, so he asked: "It's just Goguryeo, why is Mingyuan so nervous?"

    Huang Mingyuan said solemnly: "It is not difficult to conquer Goguryeo, but it is difficult to conquer people's hearts. I am afraid that the Sui Dynasty will capsize in the gutter. By then, it will be too late to regret." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
