Chapter 291 Unofficial History of Goryeo
It is said that Yuan Shao attacked Kong Beihai. Cao Cao has been coveting Qingzhou for a long time, so he is naturally eyeing it. After Chen Long went north to Jizhou, Tian Feng and Qu Yi became independent, which brought about a series of butterfly effects.
The dragon beads played by Chen Long serve as butterfly wings, which is of course the key. Unexpectedly, the mantis stalked the cicada, followed by the oriole, and the transmission was conducted layer by layer, all the way to Gongsun Du in Liaodong County. As the envoy of Gongsun Ji, Gongsun Zhi gave another shot in the arm to Gongsun Du and Gongsun Yuan, the father and son who had been entrenched in Liaodong for many years.
Under Gongsun Du, in addition to his close relatives Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, Gongsun Huang, and Gongsun Xiu, there were also confidants such as Yang Yi, Liu Yi, and Liang Mao. Among them, Liangmao was detained by Gongsundu in Liaodong. Although he did not serve the Gongsun family at first, he finally made suggestions at the Gongsun family's meeting to discuss who could resist Cao Cao's army during Cao Cao's northern expedition. At that time, the generals all said that it was possible. Resist Cao Cao; but Liang Mao said that Cao Cao would stabilize the country, and if the Gongsun family resisted, they would be resisting the Eastern Han Dynasty and would be killed. Later, they got approval, so the Gongsun family bowed to Cao Cao.
In addition, Gongsun Mo, Han Yi, Zhang Chang, etc. were all confidants. Among them, Han Yi was so powerful that the counties could not restrain him, and most of the people followed him into the Korean Peninsula. Later, Gongsun Kang divided the wasteland south of Tunyou County into Daifang County, sent Gongsun Mo, Zhang Chang and others to collect refugees from various places, and launched an army to attack Han Hao, so that some of the original residents left.
In addition, Guo Xin was the chief minister of Gongsun Yuan, and he once wrote to Wei Weiyuan with his ministers under Gongsun Yuan's instructions to request a feudal state. Yan is a general under Gongsun Yuan, who fought against Sima Yi's army and was defeated. In the novel, after the defeat, he was killed by Xiahou Ba. Yang Zuo is a general under Gongsun Yuan, who fought against Sima Yi's army, and surrendered after a defeat; Lunzhi and Jia Fan fought against Gongsun Yuan during the rebellion. He tried hard to remonstrate, but was killed by Yuan. Jia Fan directly advised Gongsun Yuan not to rebel against Cao Wei, and was beheaded by Gongsun Yuan.
Wang Jian was Gongsun Yuan's prime minister. When Sima Yi attacked Gongsun Yuan, Gongsun Yuan sent him and the imperial censor Liu Fu to beg Sima Yi for surrender. Sima Yi refused and had them beheaded and their heads given to Gongsun Yuan.
Liu Fu was the imperial censor of Gongsun Yuan. Sima Yi attacked Gongsun Yuan, and Gongsun Yuan ordered him and his prime minister Wang Jian to go to Wei Village to ask for surrender. Yi refused, so he beheaded the two men and gave their heads to Gongsun Yuan.
Wei Yan was one of Gongsun Yuan's subordinates. Sima Yi besieged Gongsun Yuan in Xiangping City. He sent Wang Jian and Liu Fu in advance to ask for surrender, but failed, so he had to order Wei Yan to go to Wei camp again to ask for surrender, and expressed his willingness to send his son Gongsun Xiu as a hostage. Sima Yi once said: "There are five general principles in military affairs: if you can fight, fight; if you can't fight, defend; if you can't defend, flee. The other two things can only be surrendered to death. If you don't want to be tied down, you will die if you do this. You don't have to Send him off." He dismissed Wei Yan.
Gongsun Mo and Goguryeo were the best, so the news that Gongsun Zhi came to Xiangping leaked again. Han Hao, who had already entered the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, suddenly heard the news about Gongsun Mo and was very excited. If Xiangping was empty, Liaodong would be better than the empty Goguryeo.
Goguryeo was a national government that existed in Northeast China and the Korean Peninsula from the first century BC to the seventh century AD. Together with Baekje and Silla, it was called the Korean Three Kingdoms era. Its people are mainly Haoqian and Fuyu people, and later absorbed some Mohe people, survivors of ancient Korea and Sanhan people. Due to Goguryeo's special geographical location and its territory spanning today's China, South Korea, and Japan, they all claim that Goguryeo is their own primitive nation.
Goguryeo is recorded as "Goguryeo" in history books, referred to as "Goguryeo" or "Goguryeo". In the second year of Emperor Jianzhao of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Meng, a descendant of Fuyu, founded the country in Goguryeo County, Xuantu County, Western Han Dynasty, so it was called Goguryeo.
Jumong is a member of the royal family of Buyeo. The power struggle within the Buyeo royal family forced Jumeng to flee south, and in 37 BC he established the Goguryeo Kingdom in the south of Yongling Town, Xinbin County.
In the early days of its founding, Goguryeo was composed of the Haoqiang people and some Fuyu people who migrated to this area. The term "Haoqiang people" did not initially refer to a definite ethnic entity, but was just a reference to the appearance of today's people by ancient historians in the Central Plains. A general reference to some ancient tribes in this specific region of Northeast China. At the beginning of the establishment of Goguryeo, it was in a long-term military confrontation with Buyeo. The relationship between Fuyu and the Zhongyuan Dynasty was very friendly. In order to control the Goguryeo regime which was in its growth stage and was very aggressive, Zhongyuan and Fuyu often cooperated militarily to attack Goguryeo.
In the pre-Three Kingdoms period, during the period of King Taejo of Goguryeo, Goguryeo quickly expanded from several early tribal states to the Han River Basin. King Taejo of Goguryeo established several scattered tribes in Goguryeo as provinces and implemented centralized control. King Taizu annexed Dongwoju and later part of Dongyi territory. Subsequently, Goguryeo launched offensives against Lelang County, Xuantu County and Liaodong. Completely freed from the control of the Han Dynasty. Goguryeo's expansion and centralization led to direct armed conflict with the Han Dynasty. Military pressure from the Han Dynasty forced Goguryeo to move its capital to Wandu City.
According to official history, after the fall of the Han Dynasty, Liaodong County was controlled by warlike local tyrants. Goguryeo took the initiative to form an alliance with the newly established Cao Wei to attack Liaodong County. After Cao Wei captured Liaodong, Goguryeo terminated its cooperation with Cao Wei and launched troops to attack eastern Liaoning. Cao Wei counterattacked and destroyed Wandu City. King Dongchuan of Goguryeo fled to Woju.
After Cao Wei destroyed Wandu City, he thought Goguryeo was destroyed, so he quickly evacuated. However, only seventy years later, Goguryeo rebuilt Wandu City and began to attack Liaodong, Lelang and Xuantu.
In 311 AD, Goguryeo took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to attack Anping in the east and west of Liaodong in "Autumn August", cutting off the land and water passage from the Korean Peninsula to Liaodong. Then in "Winter October 313 AD" He invaded Lelang County and captured more than 2,000 men and women." In the autumn and September of 314, he "invaded Daifang County from the south" and gained control of the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. When King Guanggaetu of Goguryeo came to power, the momentum of outward expansion became more and more intense. In addition to conquering Baekje in the south and conquering Khitan and Fuyu in the north, about the thirteenth year of King Guanggaetu (AD In 404), they completely occupied Xuantu and Lelang, bringing a large area of land east of the Liao River into Goguryeo's territory, and the territory of Goguryeo expanded unprecedentedly.
Goguryeo's expansion was not smooth. When Wandu Castle was attacked by Zenyan, King Kinshogo of Baekje led his army to attack Pyongyang Castle in Goguryeo. The original king of Goguryeo sent troops to fight, but was shot by a stray arrow and died on the 23rd of that month.
After King Goguryeo succeeded to the throne, he began to strengthen the stability and unity of Goguryeo. New laws were promulgated, Buddhism introduced from the Central Plains became the state religion, and the national educational institution "Tai Xue" was established in accordance with the Central Plains system. King Xiaosulin also reformed the Goguryeo army. In his 19th century, he opened the country to Guangguang, and the king of Ping Anhao conquered the land of Liaodong.
The territory of the Three Kingdoms Period of Korea began to enter its heyday after King Gotae of Goguryeo succeeded to the throne. According to the record of the King Goodai Monument erected for him by his son King Changshou, King Goodai conquered 64 cities and about 1,400 villages in Buyeo in one battle with Buyeo. Later, King Gotae annexed the Buyeo Kingdom and the Mohe tribe in the north; he formed an absolute superiority over Baekje militarily; and forced Silla to surrender in the wars between Silla and Baekje, Gaya and the Japanese.
After King Changshou of Goguryeo ascended the throne, due to the confrontation between Baekje and Silla, King Changshou moved his capital to Pyongyang to strengthen his control over Baekje and Silla. King Changshou continued the expansionist policy of his father King Haotai, annexing some Fuyu, Mohe, and Khitan tribes; fighting the Northern Wei; and maintaining control of Silla.
After Goguryeo reached its peak, it began to gradually decline. After King Anzag of Goguryeo was assassinated, his brother King Anwon succeeded to the throne. During the reign of King Anwon, disputes between the royal families intensified. Two political groups fight over the succession to the throne. Finally, King Yangyuan, who was only eight years old, ascended the throne. But the struggle for power is not over. Opposition staff began to build their own armies and exercise de facto control over their territories. Amid internal and external troubles, the northern part of Goguryeo was attacked by nomads, but the internal struggle for staff in Goguryeo continued. Baekje and Silla began to jointly attack Goguryeo in order to get rid of their enslavement by Goguryeo.
Baekje and Silla joined forces to attack Goguryeo, and Goguryeo lost the strategically important and fertile Han River basin in the center of the Korean Peninsula. Baekje, the main fighter in the alliance between Baekje and Silla, was almost exhausted in the war against Goguryeo. Silla sent troops in the name of helping Baekje, but instead launched an offensive against Baekje, and finally took the entire Han River Basin into its hands. Angry at Silla's betrayal, the Holy King of Baekje attacked the western part of Silla the next year in revenge, but was captured by Silla and later executed.
In the official history, King Pingyang actually teamed up with Mohe to preemptively attack the military garrison in western Liaoning, but was driven back by Wei Cheng, the general manager of Yingzhou. In the eighteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty 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.
Han Wang Yang Liang led the Sui army by land out of Linyuguan (today's Shanhaiguan). 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, went out to sea from Donglai and went straight to Pyongyang City. It encountered strong winds at sea and many ships sank. On September 21, the land and water routes were forced to return. Eight to nine tenths of the Sui army's soldiers died without fighting.
The Sui army retreated, and King Gaoyuan of Yingyang went to court and called him "Liaodong Dungtuchen Yuan". Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty immediately stopped his troops and treated him as before.
King Gaoyuan of Goguryeo did not comply with the rituals, so Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty decided to conquer Goguryeo again. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty issued an edict to assemble all the armies from all over the world, no matter how far north or south they are, they must all converge on Zhuojun. In addition to the army, there are hundreds of thousands of people who travel on the road for a long time. The roads are crowded day and night. The dead are lying on each other's pillows, the road is full of stench, and the world is in commotion.
Before the conquest of Goguryeo, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty expropriated the people with excessive brutality in order to conquer Goguryeo, which resulted in poverty and depletion of the people's materials and people's power. The obedient people would suffer from unbearable coldness and would soon face death. , Plagiarism can make people live longer, so people began to gather to resist. Wang Bo, Dou Ziyi, Dou Jiande and other common people and peasants revolted. From then on, common and peasant uprisings broke out in countless numbers and captured the city. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Du Wei and Ying Yang to hunt down and kill them if caught. However, more common people and peasant uprisings still appeared, and they still could not stop the common people and peasant uprisings.
In the first month of the eighth year of Daye, all the Sui Dynasty soldiers who were recruited were concentrated in Zhuo County. There were 1,133,800 soldiers. In addition, the number of civilians transporting supplies for them was twice the number of soldiers.
At the end of March in the eighth year of Daye, the Sui Dynasty army arrived at Liaohe River. Because the bridge built by the Sui army was still several meters away from the shore, the Sui army went to the water to fight the Goguryeo army on the other side. As a result, the Sui army died in large numbers. , Meng Cha and others all died in the battle. Afterwards, the Sui army lengthened the bridge, finally crossed the Liao River, and defeated the Goguryeo army on the east bank. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty first joined forces at Liao River, in order to prevent the generals from overshadowing the attack with light troops, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered them to be divided into three groups. The three roads were required to inform each other, and light troops were not allowed to advance alone. Moreover, Emperor Sui Yang was required to inform Emperor Sui Yang of any military advance and wait for a reply.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the generals that if Goguryeo wanted to surrender, they should appease and accept it and not launch any more attacks. When Liaodong City was about to be captured, the Goguryeo army in the city claimed to surrender. Following Emperor Sui Yang's order, the generals of the Sui Dynasty did not dare to continue the attack, but instead reported to Emperor Sui Yang first.
