In 613 AD, which was the ninth year of Daye,
While the Sui army was conquering Xincheng and Hengshan City in Liaodong, Yang Xuangan, who was in charge of transferring grain from the rear, suddenly rebelled.
In response, Yang Guang was furious,
Because he didn't expect that the Yang family, whom he trusted the most, would actually do such a thing.
Immediately ordered Yu Wenhuaji to lead his troops back to quell the rebellion.
As the captain of Yangzhou Camp, Lu Yan did not get the credit this time. On the contrary, he was ordered to garrison in the new city.
To cut off the rear of the army,
After receiving Yu Wenhuaji's order, Lu Yan had no doubts.
Because the new city and Hengshan City that were captured must not be returned to Goguryeo like this.
In order to prevent the opponent from chasing each other one after another, strong generals must be stationed on the ground.
Since then, Lu Yan has appeared in Yu Wenhuaji's eyes. He can fight, resist, and has strong martial arts.
Isn't this the best choice?
However, Lu Yan also felt quite melancholy about Yu Wenhuaji's order.
There is no problem for him to be stationed in the new city, but the problem is that if you go back to suppress the rebellion, you can at least leave some supplies for him.
If you don't give anything, do you expect Lu Yan to go to the other side of the river to grab Goguryeo?
But just after the army returned, an idea suddenly came to Lu Yan's mind. Everyone was gone, so why didn't he capture Goguryeo?
Just when this crazy idea came up, Lu Yan immediately did it.
Xuantu City, just when the generals of Goguryeo were happy because the Sui army left,
The city gate was slowly opened by a group of shadow ninjas.
"Come at me!"
Holding a spear, Lu Yan charged forward and roared involuntarily,
When the Goguryeo generals in Xuantu City realized their reaction, they were all stunned.
Didn’t the Sui army leave? Why would someone attack the city in the middle of the night?
In the hot flames, thick smoke billows,
Holding a spear, Lu Yan backhanded a Goguryeo soldier, then raised his spear and roared: "Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
He roared, and the soldiers of the Yangzhou Battalion behind him laughed wildly.
Without Shangguan's suppression, they can now completely let themselves go in Liaodong.
Yang Guang: I asked you to defend the city, and you’re just going to play with me like this? Come on, give me an official title!
Half a month later, Yang Guang, who returned to Zhuojun in the rear, was furious when he suddenly heard the news from Liaodong.
That was Lu Yan leading the Yangzhou Battalion to defeat Xuantu City and Guiduan City!
Stunned on the spot, Yang Guang couldn't help but slapped the dragon chair and shouted: "Okay, okay, it's really the humerus of the Sui Dynasty. I'll grant Zhao Huang the title of Chariot and Cavalry General, take charge of the Liaodong military, and let him continue to attack Goguryeo!"
Suddenly hearing the good news, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel much more relaxed because of Yang Xuangan's rebellion.
Because he didn't expect that at this juncture, there would be soldiers loyal to the Sui Dynasty who were completing his orders!
Lu Yan: No, my fight against Goguryeo has nothing to do with you!
When Yang Guang received the reward, Lu Yan was also stunned. He was only a captain, but now he has become a general of chariots and cavalry. His main duty is to fight against Goguryeo in Liaodong! Hasn't this changed nothing?
But the only good thing is that Yang Guang helped him make up the resources behind him.
But it doesn't matter if it's not enough. He has enough reserves to conquer the peninsula in Goguryeo's warehouse.
Because they planned to hold on to the city from the beginning to the end, Lu Yan got an advantage now!
In charge of the Yangzhou camp and the rest of the army responsible for breaking up the rear, Lu Yan had a total of 18,000 men in his hands.
That's right, eighteen thousand people,
Because the rest of the people were either protecting Yang Guang in Zhuo County, or they were following Yu Wenhuaji back to attack Yang Xuangan!
Why Yang Xuangan rebelled? Even now, there is no accurate explanation.
Some people say it is related to the death of his father Yang Su, while others say it was Yang Guangtai who "took care" of the Yang family, which made Yang Xuan feel uneasy.
Anyway, he could say anything, but Lu Yan knew that Yang Xuangan's rebellion directly dragged the Sui Dynasty into the sunset.
As soon as Yang Xuangan died, the world was like a hornet's nest. Rebellions continued everywhere.
However, Yang Guang was not aware of the danger, and instead planned to continue attacking Goguryeo. Then he was surrounded by Shibi Khan while patrolling the north.
Forget all this, he still went on tour every year. He visited Yangzhou three times, Saibei twice, Heyou once, Zhuojun three times, and frequently traveled back and forth between Chang'an and Luoyang.
Every time I travel, I build a palace.
Are you acting like an emperor? Didn't you see that even if Lu Yan came out, it would be necessary to establish a "King of the Western Regions" to stabilize people's hearts?
It doesn't matter that he is outrageous, the aristocratic family has no good intentions either.
Therefore, the world must be in chaos even if it is not chaotic. After all, the people are rebelling and the crowd is following. Even if Zhuge Liang is here, he can't stop him!
But this has nothing to do with him, Mr. Lu. He wants to attack Goguryeo now, but he can only attack Goguryeo.
Beating a child on a rainy day is just leisure time!
Leading the army all the way north, Lu Yan quickly conquered a large area of territory.
But here, Lu Yan noticed a trouble, that is, he did not have that many soldiers. If he garrisoned the city, he would not be able to complete his plan of capturing Goguryeo.
So what to do? Thinking of this, Lu Yan's eyes couldn't help but twinkle.
Abandoning He "he" Shenggu City, King Yang of Goguryeo took his people directly to Pyongyang long before the Sui Dynasty came.
What else could Lu Yan say about this? You run so fast!
But it doesn't matter. If he can run, he can chase him.
Abandoning previous attempts to capture cities and territories, Lu Yan planned to attack Pyongyang.
Use the opponent's King Yang to force the entire Goguryeo to surrender.
As long as he has "royal power", Lu Yan believes that he can quickly raise an army of servants.
The whole army went out for the expedition. Lu Yan only brought 3,000 men with him this time.
Everyone understands the importance of military speed.
The army marched all the way across the Liaodong Plain, hiding day and night, and soon arrived at Pyongyang City.
But when everyone saw the slightly difficult-to-attack Pyongyang City in front of them, Pei Xingyan couldn't help but said: "It's not too late to go back now!"
"Go back, are you kidding? I'm already here, how can I go back!"
Just as Lu Yan finished speaking, various hysterical roars came from the city of Pyongyang.
When Pei Xingyan looked at Lu Yan in shock, the gate of Pyongyang City opened.
Holding a ninja sword stained with blood, the shadow ninja looked respectfully at the sword: "King, it's done!"
"All officers and men will obey orders and make great achievements today!"
Raising the spear in his hand, Lu Yan got on his horse and couldn't help but roar,
After listening to Lu Yan's words, the three thousand cavalry behind him also roared,
Conquer the capital of a king and capture the king at the same time! This is something I never dare to dream of!
However, only after the cavalry rushed into Pyongyang did the entire Goguryeo army and people react.
In front of the palace, a large number of soldiers gathered, as if they were planning to make a desperate fight.
But when Pei Xingyan appeared with two hammers, his last hope was instantly shattered.
"kill!"
With a roar, Pei Xingyan rushed into the enemy formation like a giant beast.
As the war hammer caused a bloody storm, Lu Yan rode a horse and walked among the flames and said: "Remember to pick two good-looking ones for me when the time comes!"
"Yes, General!"
Hearing Lu Yan's words, the soldiers nearby laughed one after another.
And on the day when flames swept across Pyongyang, it also symbolized that the country that once resisted the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty was completely destroyed in his hands.
A month later, when Yang Guang learned that Goguryeo's Pyongyang City had been captured and that King Yang was escorting him back to Zhuojun, he froze on the spot and his expression seemed a little dull.
what's the situation? Is Goguryeo so easy to fight? Then why is it so difficult for me to fight?
