    After this battle, the main force of the Sui army took advantage of the victory to besiege Liaodong City.

    The city of Liaodong was well supplied with food. As the core place for the Goguryeo people to resist the Sui Dynasty and manage Liaodong, it was very difficult to fight.  Although the main force of Goguryeo lost more than 60,000 people in the previous battle in Liaodong City, there were still 80,000 troops in the city and more than 100,000 civilians.

    The Sui army launched several tentative attacks on Liaodong City, but they were all repelled by the opponent.  At this time, Yu Shiji and others suggested that Yang Guang could encircle the area for reinforcements and lure Goguryeo ministries to rescue Liaodong City.  As long as all Goguryeo reinforcements are defeated, Liaodong City will become a dead city, and it is only a matter of time before it is broken.

    Yang Guang finally agreed.

    Yang Guang then ordered all armies to attack the city. At the same time, he ordered the generals that if the Goguryeo people requested surrender, they would immediately announce their acceptance and not attack.  Yang Guang was worried that the ministries were eager to make meritorious deeds and directly took the bait of Liaodong City, so what could he use to lure the Goguryeo people.

    There is a view in later generations that Yang Guang launched the Battle of Goguryeo in order to cleanse the Guanlong Group's power in the army, so he deliberately let the northern army die. This view can explain why Yang Guang repeatedly behaved like a stupid pig in Liaodong.  decision.

    Huang Mingyuan sneered at this.

    Yang Guang is a politician, doesn¡¯t he know the consequences of the failure of the Liao expedition?  Some people think that Yang Guang's approach is a child's play.

    In fact, Yang Guang in history, without Huang Mingyuan and Sasuke, also occupied an advantageous position in the fight against the Guanlong family.  For a politician, political purge is the easiest, but war purge is too unpredictable.  Moreover, the army is the most important tool for the ruling class to maintain stability. If Yang Guang is crazy enough to send millions of troops to the Goguryeo people as cannon fodder, then why should Yang Guang maintain his rule? In history, Yang Guang has not gradually become like the New Army.  Troops to replace the old troops.

    And because of the obedience of the army, most soldiers only listen to the orders above them, so they only need to clean up the generals at all levels before they can regain control of the army.  In fact, Yang Guang has already done this. The people he hired, including Lai Huer, Zhou Fashang, Chen Leng, Xue Shixiong, Pei Renji, and Zhao Cai, are not from the Guanlong family. The strength of the Guanlong family has also been suppressed to the lowest level by Yang Guang.  There is no need to sacrifice the near for the far.

    The failure of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo was a war of tactical failure, but it was by no means a war of strategic self-destruction.  If Yang Guang hoped that this battle would fail from the beginning, then he would never lead the battle himself. Instead, he would leave the battle to others and let his ministers be the scapegoats for defeat.

    As for what many conspirators say that Yang Guang deliberately drove the northern Han people to die in order to purify the blood of the northern Han people, they can only say that it is imaginary. Yang Guang himself has half of the blood of the Hu people. Does he also want to kill himself?

    As for why Yang Guang later conquered Goguryeo for the second and third time, firstly, Yang Guang was not reconciled to failure, and secondly, Yang Guang regarded the conquest of Goguryeo as a life-saving straw to regain his prestige.

    It¡¯s really helpless that fate plays tricks on people.

    Of course, all the speculations of future generations are just the reasons for the regression of the results, and everything is unknown.  But now the Sui army did not know the impending defeat, and everyone had high morale.

    On the first day of the siege, the Sui army used all their strength to attack the city.  All kinds of siege equipment were used, especially the hundreds of catapults responsible for covering the city, which hit the Goguryeo people on the top of the city so hard that they could not lift their heads.

    Seeing this result, the generals were extremely excited, but Yang Guang was a little worried.  Once everyone knocks down Liaodong City, how can they surround it and call for reinforcements?

    But it cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the generals. In addition, in order to achieve meritorious service, the generals of the Sui army obeyed Yang Guang's request to delay the attack, which also made Yang Guang angry.

    In order to restrain the troops, Yang Guang ordered: "Today, the people are being punished for crimes, not for the sake of fame. The generals may not know my intention, and want to cover the attack with light troops, fight alone, and establish a name to invite honors and rewards. This is  It is not the law of a large army. When a public army marches, it should be divided into three lines. If there is an attack, the three lines must know each other. Do not let the light army advance alone, leading to loss. Also, whenever the military advances or stops, it must be reported and reported, and no attack is allowed.  Specialize in.¡±

    In this way, Yang Guang took the command of each army into his own hands. Whether in war or peace, all armies must obey his arrangements.

    Yang Guang¡¯s idea was good, but Yang Guang did not have a mobile phone and could not call or send WeChat messages to the military generals. Therefore, he required the generals to repay everything, which greatly affected efficiency and caused each ministry to lose countless fleeting fighter opportunities.

    Do you think Yang Guang¡¯s order is stupid?  indeed.  But throughout the ages, which monarch has not done many speechless and stupid things for the sake of centralization of power, such as Zhao Er's grant of blueprints for battle. Before the battle started, I would send you the blueprints first. Do you dare to believe it?

    Yang Guang also granted amnesty to the whole world, and ordered Wei Xuan, Minister of Punishment, and Liu Shilong, Minister Youcheng, to pacify the people of Liaozuo and exempt hundreds of people from Liaodong.After ten years of corvee service, prefectures and counties were established and unified by the prime minister.

    Since Yang Guang gave the order, the war in Liaodong City has come to a standstill as Yang Guang expected.

    The Sui army laid siege to the city with hundreds of thousands of elite troops, equipped with countless trebuchets, ballistae, rams, ladders, etc. Just bombarding Liaodong City day and night could break the city.

    The Sui army broke through a wall of Liaodong City during the day and opened a gap. However, the Goguryeo people could not hold on and saw that the city was about to be destroyed.  At this time, Jiang Yishi planned to surrender to the Sui army in order to ambush the Sui army and buy time.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as the Goguryeo people raised the white flag, the Sui army agreed.

    At this time, Duan Wenzhen, the general of Zuohou Wei, advised Yang Guang: "The nature of the Rong and Di is that they are greedy and cunning, and they should not be easily trusted. Do not repeat the old story of Zhuge Ke's attack on Hefei."

    During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu general Zhuge Ke besieged Hefei Xincheng. Zhang Te, general Le Fang and others led 3,000 people to defend it.  Zhang Te then resorted to a delaying tactic and told the Wu people: "Now I have no intention of fighting anymore. However, the laws of Wei stipulate that if anyone is besieged for more than a hundred days and reinforcements have not arrived, even if they surrender, their family members will not be punished; I will  It has been more than ninety days since we were besieged. There were originally more than 4,000 people in this city, and more than half of them have died in the battle. Although the city has fallen, half of the people are still unwilling to surrender. I want to go back and persuade them to distinguish the good from the bad one by one.  , send the list over tomorrow morning, please take my seal and ribbon as a token first." He gave his seal and ribbon to the Wu people. The Wu people believed his words but did not accept his seal and ribbon, so they stopped attacking the city.  Then Zhang Te took advantage of the night to remove building materials to repair the damage to the city wall.  The next day, Zhang Te had repaired the city wall and told the Wu people: "I have a fighting ear!" The Wu people attacked fiercely because they were teased. The Wu army attacked the city day and night, and was exhausted and unable to fight.  Soon, Zhuge Ke realized that he had lost his plan and was ashamed that he could not attack the city. In the end, due to the lack of morale of the army and the arrival of reinforcements from the Wei army, he had to retreat.

    But Yang Guang turned a deaf ear to this, and instead ordered the generals to accept the sneak attack by the Goguryeo people and stop the attack. Afterwards, the Goguryeo people did not really surrender. Instead, they took the opportunity to repair the gap in the city wall and repeated it.

    After that, whenever Liaodong City was about to be captured, the Goguryeo people in the city claimed to surrender.  Following Yang Guang's order, the generals did not dare to seize this opportunity, so they had to send Pegasus to report to Emperor Yang first. When the emperor's reply came back, the defense in the city had been adjusted and consolidated, and then the Goguryeo army held fast to the city.

    " Repeatedly, the Goguryeo people tortured Yang Guang thousands of times. Yang Guang treated the Goguryeo as his first love, so Liaodong City could not be captured for a long time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
