What does Li Shimin mean by "If Gao Gouli is not eliminated, future generations will be in great trouble."

Goguryeo is a very resilient nation. It works hard at home and engages in foreign aggression wars. Unlike Mongolia, it is encroaching bit by bit. When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty came to Sui Dynasty in 500 years, the entire Northeast China was destroyed. Being occupied by them made Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty restless.

During the Zhenguan period of the early Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty attacked and destroyed the Eastern Turkic Khanate, the Tuyuhun Khanate, and other countries in the Western Regions, and defeated the Xueyantuo Khanate, and the four barbarians were subdued. In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan (643), Silla sent envoys to the court to report that Goguryeo was plotting to cut off its access to the Tang Dynasty.

He also appointed Li Shiji as the general manager of the march to Liaodong Road, led an army of 60,000, and the surrendered Hu people from Lanzhou and Hezhou, and marched towards Liaodong.

Because the number of troops used by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was far less than that used by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, the burden on the people was far less than that caused by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, when Emperor Sui Yang conquered Goguryeo, there were people fighting. They cut off their own limbs to avoid expeditions and corvee labor, but this did not happen when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo.

Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said: "Emperor Yang was immoral. When he conquered Liaodong, people broke their limbs to avoid expeditions and corvee service. Now when I conquer Goguryeo, I select those who are willing to go out and recruit ten men. One hundred, one hundred was raised, and one thousand was obtained. Some people who could not follow the expedition were angry at Yuyi. "?

In the nineteenth year of Zhenguan (645), Li Shiji led his army to Youzhou. In March, Emperor Taizong's car arrived in Dingzhou. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally visited the sick soldiers and entrusted them to prefectures and counties for treatment.

The car started from Liaodong City and arrived outside Anshi City. In the northern part of Goguryeo, Yanshou and Huizhen led 150,000 troops from Goguryeo and Mohe to rescue Anshi City. ?[53]? Yanshou led his army to a place forty miles away from Anshi City. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Ashina Sheer to lead a thousand Turkic cavalry to lure the enemy, and pretended to retreat as soon as the battle began. The Goguryeo army rushed forward and reached a place eight miles southeast of Anshi City, forming an array along the mountain. ?

Tang Taizong personally went to high places with Changsun Wuji and others as well as hundreds of cavalry to observe the situation of the mountains and rivers, where they could ambush troops and where they could enter and exit. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Li Shiji to lead 15,000 troops to set up a formation in Xiling. Changsun Wuji led 11,000 elite troops as a surprise force to go out of the narrow valley from the north of the mountain to attack the enemy's rear.

Taizong of the Tang Dynasty personally led an army of four thousand, held drums and horns, lowered flags, climbed the North Mountain, and ordered all armies to attack together when they heard the sound of drums and horns. Yanshou saw Li Shiji setting up a formation and formed a formation to fight. When Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty saw Changsun Wuji's army rising, he ordered drums and horns to be raised and flags to be raised. The troops from all walks of life marched forward with a loud noise. Yanshou and others were frightened and wanted to divide their troops to resist.

In addition, this battle also captured 50,000 horses, 50,000 cattle, more than 10,000 armor collars, and a large number of other weapons.

The whole country of Goguryeo was shocked and frightened. Later, the Goguryeo people in Huangcheng and Yincheng abandoned the city and fled. There was no human habitation for hundreds of miles.

In September, the Tang army began to besiege Anshi City. Due to the desperate resistance of the defenders, the Tang army failed to conquer. It was late autumn, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty returned to the court because the local area became cold early, the grass dried up and the water froze, it was difficult for soldiers and horses to stay for a long time, and food was running out.

Tang Taizong was a calm teacher. At the time of the revolt, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also showed off his troops at the foot of Anshi City. No one in Anshi City could leave the city.

In this case, he rode a horse and galloped. It can be seen that in the process of conquering Goguryeo and Banshi , Tang Taizong was obviously not injured.

The Tang army's soldiers died close to 2,000 and their horses died. Eight thousand horses.
