Chapter 91 Ulji Wende
Yizhi Wende!
In the minds of the Goguryeo people, they are almost respected as God.
It is also because of him that Goguryeo was spared from the catastrophe.
That year, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Yang sent a million powerful troops to conquer Goguryeo, covering more than a thousand miles. Faced with the massive attack of the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo King Gao Yuan gathered all the troops across the country to Liaodong and decided to fight with the Sui Dynasty.
The Sui army did not attack Liaodong, so Yang Guang decided to divide his troops into three groups: there were many soldiers and the generals of the Goguryeo, and the one who bullied was the few major generals of Goguryeo. Leave 670,000 main force to continue to stay in Liaodong and besiege Liaodong City; the general came to Huer and Zhou Fashang led the Jianghuai naval army to attack Pyongyang from the sea; the general Yuwen Shu led 300,000 troops across the city of Liaodong and advanced towards the Yalu River, and attacked Pyongyang from north to south with the navy.
This time Goguryeo was stunned and panicked.
The main elites of Goguryeo are gathered in Liaodong. Where can Pyongyang have the strength to resist the nearly 400,000-distance army of the Sui Dynasty?
At this time, Wende of Yizhi emerged and saw through the weak logistics of the Sui army. He gave the Sui Dynasty seven big victories with the tactic of luring the enemy into depth, stretching the Sui army's front line. Then he surrendered and forced the Sui army to retreat. Then he rushed to retreat with a large flood to 300,000 Sui soldiers. The main force of the Goguryeo Army descended from the sky and launched a fierce attack on the Sui army. The hungry Sui army was unable to fight again, and each army was defeated and fled in panic. He ran hundreds of miles until the Yalu River was not able to escape the pursuit of the Goguryeo Army. The 300,000 troops crossing the Yalu River finally had only 2,700 people left to flee back to Liaodong, and the weapons and materials were almost lost.
The defeat was too miserable and thorough, so Yang Guang had to give up Liaodong City and ordered his troops to retreat.
The Sui army had a large army of 1.1 million, and its troops were exhausted, and Goguryeo could not fight any of them.
Yizhi Wende ruined 300,000 Sui troops in one fell swoop, which was fatal to the Sui army, which had the advantage of the situation.
Therefore, the entire Goguryeo respected the Yizhi Wende, who led the battle of Sashui, and turned the situation around in one fell swoop, so that he was given the title of Goguryeo Military God and Goguryeo Savior.
Because Yizhi Wende retired because he was old, he happened to rest in the country.
However, because Yizhi Wende withdrew from the Goguryeo regime for six years, Gao Shu actually ignored him.
As soon as the Ministry of Justice mentioned it, Gao Shu immediately rushed to the west of the city with a whip.
The war started from the east of the city, while the west of the city was relatively calm.
Yizhi Wende's mansion was deep, and he was prone to sleepiness at such an age, so he rested early. Even if the Sui soldiers searched for assassins, they did not dare to search Yizhi Wende's mansion, so Yizhi Wende still did not understand the situation.
It was not until the situation was in crisis that Gao Shu came to him and Yizhi Wende asked his son to wake him up before he could understand the incident.
Yizhi Wende is nearly 60 years old, has a medium figure, gray hair, and a face full of marks of time, but he is full of energy, straight waist and steady steps. Even if he is woken up in a dream, he is not at all confused, and his spirit is not inferior to young people at all.
In fact, it is too early to say that he retired at an old age. It was just for Goguryeo that he had to retire.
Yizhi Wende was born in a poor family, but he was the eldest brother, the deputy prime minister. He was more than ten thousand people in Goguryeo, which was quite impressive. But in addition to King Goryeo, there was also a Dalu who was in charge of state affairs and controlled the entire army. The one who served as Dalu was Yuanziyou, the chief of the Angryeo family, the hereditary Yuan family of Goguryeo.
Yuanziyou was both civil and military, with extraordinary prestige. During his reign, he assisted the Goguryeo royal family, won people's hearts, developed production, and accumulated national strength. Goguryeo's ability to dominate the Northeast attracted the attention of the Sui Dynasty was closely related to Yuanziyou. On the contribution to Goguryeo, Yuanziyou was far above the literary virtues of the Yizhi period.
When Yang Guang first conquered Goguryeo, the first person to stand out was Yuanziyou, the great pair of troops who were in charge of military power. He personally led his troops to fight against Yang Guang for the front line of Liaodong, restrained Yang Guang's 600,000 to ensure that the front line of Liaodong was not lost. In terms of role, Yuanziyou was not inferior to Yizhi Wende. However, Yizhi Wende was awarded the gods in one battle and became the savior of Goguryeo. His prestige was far above Yuanziyou, which seriously threatened the status of the Yuan clan of the first family of Goguryeo. It aroused Yuanziyou's dissatisfaction.
Yizhi Wende could not compete with Yuan Ziyou and had to choose to give in and retire early.
Yizhi Wende was not willing to fail, and stayed silent and waited for the opportunity to come back. He knew the situation in Goguryeo very well, but just listened to Gao Shu explaining the situation to gain a certain understanding of the current situation.
"Sir, don't be anxious!" Yizhi Wende's eyes flashed with excitement. His only feared opponent, Yuanziyou, was dead. It was the time for his comeback. He calmly said: "Although we have lost the first move, our advantage is still there. This is Goguryeo's heart, and it is surrounded by my Goguryeo's territory. As long as the generals around him know the situation of the domestic city, they will inevitably lead troops to rescue him. What we have to do now is not to defeat the enemy, but to prevent them from fully controlling the domestic city. The generals who help the aid can directly face the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, not the majestic city."
Gao Shu suddenly shouted: "Brother Too Da is indeed a clever one. As long as we gather the troops in our hands to control a city gate, the reinforcements will naturally not be afraid of the thief."
Yizhi Wende sneered, "That's right! I expect that the thieves will break the city gate one by one, and they will definitely walk closer to the road to control the domestic city as quickly as possible. First go to the north city and then attack the east gate and the west gate of the south gate. At the end of the west gate, we will guard the west gate and use the most time to build a defense line. Now there is no time to notify the east gate of the north gate. Lord Gao, go to the south gate immediately to inform the south gate guard to give up the south gate, gather all the forces, and stick to the west gate. In addition, with the command of my Yizhi Wende, all the soldiers in the melee city fighting will go to the west gate to defend."

"Yizhi Wende!"
When Luo Shixin heard Jin Deman talk about the name here, he also remembered this figure in Goguryeo, a very old owl, who was brave and scoundrel. He used Yang Guang's idiot order that "If Goguryeo surrenders, it is advisable to be snatched and not allowed to be soldiers" to go to the Sui Dynasty military camp alone to commit surrender. He walked around the Sui Dynasty military camp and found out the fatal flaws of the Sui Dynasty's lack of food and grass. He returned to Goguryeo without any damage. Then he made many plans to annihilate the 300,000 Sui Dynasty troops in one fell swoop, and the Sui soldiers fled back to the Yalu River were less than 3,000.
As for the statement of the War God, Luo Shixin sneered at it. The real War God is tempered for thousands of times. It is too cheap to have this title in a beautiful battle. However, it cannot be denied that the old guy is indeed a tricky person.
"This old guy is in the domestic city?" Luo Shixin's expression was also a little heavy. If he had known that Yizhi Wende was in the domestic city, he would have taken plans to plot against him when making plans.
Jindeman nodded and said, "It's not surprising that Eji Wende retired for six years and lived in seclusion. It's not surprising that you don't know. As far as I know, he has ambitions. If he learns the situation of the domestic city, he will come forward. With his prestige, he can comfort the chaotic Goguryeo soldiers and confront the general."
"Thank you!" Luo Shixin thanked him carefully and asked Pei Qingyi to release Jin Deman, Jin Seung-man and Kim Yu-sun. Now that the plan has been implemented, they can no longer pose any threat. The special news about Ulchi Wende is also a sign of his heart.
Luo Shixin turned around and his horse, and his eyes were exactly the West.
