Chapter Twenty-Five: The Five Elements Commit Water


The Great Sui army continued to march into Goguryeo, and it turned out that the brutal methods of the Yushu massacre were still very effective, almost making the Goguryeo people lose their courage, and wherever their troops went, after defeating the stubbornly resisting Goguryeo army, the people no longer had the heart to resist and surrendered numbly.However, this also greatly stimulated Goguryeo's hatred of the Sui army, which was extremely unfavorable to Yang Guang's rule after the conquest, but there was no way to do it.Things came to this point, and Yang Guang had no choice but to continue to suppress Goguryeo with brutal means, and those who dared to resist along the way were all killed.In this way, hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people died under the butcher's knife of the Sui army, which was an unparalleled heavy blow to Goguryeo, a country with a total population of only a few million.In fact, with Goryeo's current strength, it is impossible to match the Sui army for long.The whole country of Goguryeo is just a few million people, minus the old, weak, women and children, how many young and middle-aged people can there be?

I'm afraid that the sum up is not much larger than the millions of Sui troops, even if all of them are soldiers, how can those ordinary peasant households be able to match the real elite soldiers in a short period of time, and it is impossible to consume the Great Sui with the national strength of Goguryeo.So Yang Guang is now taking a steady and steady way, slowly consuming with Goguryeo, he knows that Goguryeo will definitely not be able to consume him.The army soon marched to the Yalu River, where the Sui army expected to have a tough battle with Goguryeo, but unexpectedly, the soldiers who went to investigate brought unexpected news."

What, the Goryeo garrison general Uljideok actually ordered the withdrawal of troops and abandoned the Yalu River?

How is this possible!

”Yang Guang couldn't believe it.The spy was very sure: "The villain is absolutely right, the Goryeo army has all withdrawn, and now the entire Yalu River is empty, and there is not a single figure." ”"That's weird, what is Ezhide doing here?"

Yang Guang was surprised."

According to the old minister, he was forced by my Great Sui soldiers and did not dare to contact our army, so he directly avoided the edge and retreated."

A minister stepped forward."

What Lord Zhang said is very true, under my Great Sui soldiers, these foreign barbarians can only flee in fear, and they dare not resist!"

Many ministers responded to the Tao.There are also people who pat their ass and say: "The emperor's heavenly power is mighty, the universe is obedient, where he passes, how dare the people of Yizhide compete with the emperor's heavenly might?"

Directly scared the fart to the fart, hahahaha. ”Yang Guang looked coldly at the minister who was rejoicing, with a look of disgust on his face, but he didn't attack, he looked at He Heng and said, "I don't know what the national teacher thinks?"

”He Heng was stunned, he didn't expect Yang Guang to ask him this, but now that the ministers all looked at him, he didn't dare to save face to Yang Guang, and said with one hand: "Immeasurable Tianzun, Poor Dao is a person from outside the square, but he doesn't understand much about marching and fighting, but Poor Dao just made a divination and found that my army has recently committed water in the five elements!"

”"The Five Elements Violate Water?"

Yang Guang had a slight understanding.The Sui army continued to advance, and sure enough, they crossed the Yalu River without any obstacles, and then pointed their troops straight towards Pyongyang."

Report, Yizhi Dechen soldiers Qingchuan River, it seems that they are preparing for a decisive battle with our army."

In the big tent, the voice of a spy rang out.Yang Guang looked down and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Yizhide's move?"

”Many Sui generals said: "Yizhide has already been frightened by my Great Sui soldiers, and he didn't dare to make a contact with my army along the way, hundreds of miles behind the Yalu River, running faster than rabbits, I think this time is just a bluff." ”"After this Qingchuan River, there is Pyongyang, and there is no way back for Uljide."

Another minister scoffed."

Hey, you Aiqing can't be underestimated!"

Yang Guang looked at the many generals who were a little disdainful, and hurriedly said: "It would be bad if he fell for his strategy of showing weakness to the enemy, it would be better to figure out the details of Yizhide, and then say, don't rush to send troops."

Our Great Sui army has already approached Pyongyang, and the destruction of Goguryeo is only a matter of time, so we must not make a mistake at this time. ”"Your Majesty."

And they all bowed.At this time, a general hurriedly broke into the big tent: "Tell the emperor that there is indeed a conspiracy!"

”Yang Guang's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Tell me quickly, what is his conspiracy?"

”All eyes in the tent were on the general.The general hurriedly said: "The last general went to explore the details of Eulzhide by His Majesty's order, and found that he had begun to prepare in the upper reaches of the Qingchuan River a few months ago, using the dam to store water, and now it is May, which is the most serious time for flooding, if he opens the valve and releases water when our army crosses the river, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

”"What, this guy has been prepared for a long time to rush my army with a lot of water?"

Many generals were shocked.The general said, "That's it!

”Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "You did a good job this time, you will be rewarded when you turn around, you go down first." ”"Thank you, Emperor Longen."

The general was overjoyed and hurriedly retreated.Yang Guang sat in the tent, looked around at the generals who had just disdained Yizhide, and said sharply: "This is what you call a clown who jumps off the beam, is it vulnerable?"

If it weren't for me listening to the words of the national teacher and letting people carefully explore the truth of the Qingchuan River, would you know how many people my Great Sui would have lost here?

”Many generals are famous generals of the Great Sui, and they naturally know the consequences of the army's impact if they are really so waterproof by Yizhide, so they all bow their heads and are silent at this moment.In real history, the soldiers and horses of the Sui army also attacked the Qingchuan River, and were washed by Ezhide with a large water, and then led the troops to attack, 300,000 troops came here, and finally there was no one in the hundred, only 2,700 people escaped, and Yang Guangyi's expedition to Goguryeo ended there.Yang Guang looked coldly at the many Sui generals who were silent, and said sharply: "You are still the most elite general of my Great Sui, which one is not the general who leads the party?"

But I can't even see a trick to lure the enemy, and they are laughing at Yizhide's incompetence, who knows that the other party is also laughing at you. ”Many Sui soldiers hurriedly bowed down and said: "This is a dereliction of duty on the part of the ministers, and I hope Your Majesty will blame you." ”"I hope you don't make this kind of mistake again in the future, otherwise Hugh will be ruthless."

Yang Guang snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.The generals trembled, and said in unison: "Thank you for the emperor's forgiveness, and the ministers will do their best to pacify Goguryeo." ”The Sui army saw through Euljide's plan and destroyed the embankment set up by Euljide from the upper reaches of the Cheongchon River, and the rolling river roared down, flooding thousands of miles of fertile land in Goguryeo.Then Yang Guang's hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the river in one fell swoop, broke through one of the inner cities of the three capitals of Goryeo, and killed and captured 100,000 Goryeo troops.At this time, the Sui army had no barrier from Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, and was only short of meeting with the 500,000 sea and land armies attacking Pyongyang by sea, and they could gather millions of troops to level the most central place of Goguryeo in one fell swoop.In one fell swoop, Goguryeo was leveled, and the great cause of opening up the territory that had never been done for thousands of years seemed to be only in the morning, and the Sui army was boiling up and down, but at this time, the Sui army suddenly stagnated."

Your Majesty, why is that?"

Some generals were puzzled, because this was what Yang Guang ordered to stop the march.Yang Guang's face was gloomy to the extreme, and he looked at a secret report in his hand: "Yang Xuan felt that he had rebelled, cut off our army's food and grass, and was leading his troops to besiege the capital at this moment." ”"What?

Yang Xuan felt that he was a traitor, a traitor!

”Some courtiers rebuked angrily.Seeing that the army's achievements in defeating Goguryeo were in front of him, and the completion of the immortal feat was only in the morning and night, Yang Xuangan rebelled at this time, cut off the army's grain and grass, and besieged the capital."

Your Majesty, how is this good?

Do you want to give up the results of the war, return to the capital, and put down the rebellion?

”There are generals who are not reconciled.Yang Guang shook his head: "No, the army will continue to advance, I have my own decision."

Yang Xuan felt that he thought he was hiding well, but he didn't know that as early as when he attacked Tuguhun, I saw that he had a heart of disobedience, but for the sake of his father Yang Situ, he never moved him, I didn't expect him to be so ignorant, this time he dared to rebel, I wanted him to die without a place to be buried!

”Yang Guang rose up and glared angrily, and many officials bowed their heads timidly.They are all members of the Guanlong group, and Yang Xuangan's rebellion this time was originally a plan of the Guanlong group, just to make Yang Guang's army fail to attack Goguryeo, and they would lose their money and gain nothing, so as to facilitate their actions.
