Turbulent Times Chapter 1125: failed

The prefect is not here, although Du Shihui is the Sima of Fanyang County, Wang Junlin has completely delegated power over the past year and let Du Ruhui be in charge of civil affairs. Du Ruhui has gradually established his own prestige in Fanyang County.

However, his prestige cannot be compared with that of Wang Junlin, and most of the officials, nobles, and common people in the counties cannot understand his order to forcibly move the people where he lives into the city. So he has been busy running back and forth across the counties to supervise recently, and Liu Ziming is in charge of the county government.

Du Ruhui saw Liu Ziming in the county office who had already woken up and began to work on official documents. The two sat down, and a boy brought two cups of freshly boiled tea. I’m used to the hot water, but it was too hot last night, so I couldn’t help but drink a cup of deep well water to dispel the heat, but my stomach was sick, it seems that my living habits have to be changed from now on.”

"Yes! Once the plague breaks out, there is almost no cure. It is better to be troublesome and careful than to be careless. Fortunately, we have not found a single case of the epidemic in Fanyang County so far, which makes me quite gratified."

"This is the credit of Lord Du. At the time, Lord Du ordered everyone in the county to enter the city, close the city gates, and not allow the people to enter and leave. If people infected with the disease enter the city, I don’t know how many people will die in Fanyang County. I admire Master Du very much. If I were to do this, I wouldn’t have such a strong iron fist like yours.”

Speaking of this, Liu Ziming sighed, this incident made him sincerely admire Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui smiled, shook his head and said: "I just follow the orders of the prefect, but in the final analysis, the measures and regulations of the prefect are very effective. Speaking of it, our prefect is really amazing, anything can be done." It is unbelievable to predict in advance, and sometimes I almost doubt that the prefect will know the foresight."

Liu Ziming immediately nodded heavily, expressing his deep approval, and said, "Yes! Once the prefect arrived in Fanyang County, everything he did was to prepare for what will happen after His Majesty's conquest of Goguryeo failed. To be honest, all along Although I disagree with His Majesty's conquest of Goguryeo, I never thought that we would lose in the Sui Dynasty. But now that the epidemic has appeared, there is still

The recent news from Liaodong made me wonder whether the million-strong Sui army could defeat Goguryeo. "

Du Ruhui said with a complicated expression: "If the prefect has long expected the defeat of the Sui army, there may be traces to follow. After all, your majesty has long said that you want to conquer by yourself, and the prefect may be based on your majesty's character." It has been judged that His Majesty's self-willedness will seriously affect the command of the generals to fight the war. However, the prefect can predict the epidemic in advance, which is really incredible."

Liu Ziming sighed, and said, "Stop talking, has the prefect created too many miracles? It's nothing to expect the epidemic in the conquest army in advance. By the way, you came to me this early in the morning. Is there something wrong?"

Du Ruhui immediately looked serious, and said: "There is indeed something I need to discuss with you. At the beginning, I ordered the city to be closed for one month, and it will expire in a few days. I want to extend the closure for another month."

Liu Ziming frowned slightly, and said, "Does Master Du think there is still an epidemic?"

Du Ruhui nodded, "I received news from Youzhou Beiping County early this morning that a large number of soldiers escaped from Goguryeo, tens of thousands of them within a day, and many of them were infected with the disease. Some soldiers said , the Sui army was defeated in Goguryeo.”

Liu Ziming was taken aback, and lost his voice: "Did your Majesty lead an army of millions to lose to the Koreans?"

Du Ruhui smiled wryly and said: "I don't know whether the defeat was really as the prefect predicted, but the epidemic broke out and a large number of soldiers fled, so the prospects are probably not good."

At this moment, someone reported at the door: "My lords, there is news from Liaodong."

Du Ruhui hurriedly got up and walked towards the county office, Liu Ziming also followed, and saw a spy under Shen Guoer standing in front of the steps, seeing Du Ruhui and Liu Ziming coming out, he quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted : "The humble job is a spy under Commander Shen, who came all the way south from Liaodong City in Goguryeo, and specially reported the Liaodong battle report to the two adults."

"How is the situation in Liaodong?" Liu Ziming asked anxiously first.

"The Liaodong City was sent by the prefect general Shan Xiongxin to lead a small team to blow up the city wall with gunpowder. The Sui army finally captured the Liaodong City, but they were sent to chase Gaoju

General Wang Rengong, who escaped from the army, was ambushed by the Goguryeo people and suffered heavy losses. His Majesty beheaded Wang Rengong and forced the Ninth Route Army to continue marching. At the end of the day, only more than 10,000 people returned to the camp, and there were also a large number of deserters from other armies. The civilians in the rear suffered heavy casualties due to the epidemic, and the supply of food and grass was not enough. "

…

…

In the sixth year of Daye, the first Korean War launched by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ended in an anticlimactic manner.

When the morale of the army was low, the morale was low, and there were epidemic diseases in the army, and there were problems in the supply of food and grass, Yang Guang forcibly ordered nine armies with a total of more than 800,000 people to cross the Yalu River and march towards Pyongyang, the capital of Korea.

Yu Wenshu led a main force of 300,000 people. When they crossed Sashui, they had to withdraw in a hurry because of the shortage of food. Yuan Taizuo sent cavalry to follow and attack all the way. It's a pity that the Sui army's morale has been disintegrated, and the army was finally defeated. The soldiers fled for their own lives. The 300,000 army fled back with only more than 10,000 people.

But at this time, the epidemic in the army finally broke out completely, and three out of ten died. After Yang Guang was extremely furious, he finally had no choice but to detain Yu Wenshu and order him to be a teacher, ending the first Korean War .

It took four and a half years to prepare, almost exhausted most of the country's power, and killed millions of people. If you don't count the majority of Annan County occupied by the waterway army led by Qin Angong Wang Junlin, in the end it only occupied Liaoshuidong Liaodong City on the other side of the river came to an almost hasty end in this way.

One million troops went to Korea, and when they finally retreated to Zhuojun, Youzhou, there were only about 400,000 left, and more than 600,000 people were lost. As for the civilian husbands, as many as one million people died of illness.

This is a messy account that is difficult to calculate. No one can tell how many people died in battle, how many people fled, and how many people died of illness, but the ending is obvious. Can be changed.

In short, His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor led a million Sui troops to conquer Koryo and failed, and the defeat was miserable.
