How did the Goguryeo Dynasty, which had been hated by the Sui Emperor and Emperor Taizong of Tang, disappear within a year? In addition to the strong strength guarantee of Datang, the most prominent Quan family in Goguryeo was indispensable, and their father and son sent two "oolong balls" to Datang for two generations.
Goguryeo has a long history, lasting more than 700 years from the founding of the Han Dynasty in the second year of Jianzhao (37 BC) to the destruction of the tang Dynasty in the first year of Emperor Gaozong's reign (668).
Goguryeo's territory included both the northern part of today's Korean Peninsula and most of Jilin and Liaoning, with the capital at present-day Ji'an, Jilin Province.
Due to its marginal location, the Central Plains Dynasty could not take care of Goguryeo, and coupled with the more than three hundred years of war between the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Goguryeo took the opportunity to become bigger. From the time of the Cao Wei Dynasty, Goguryeo claimed to the Central Plains Dynasty as a vassal, while constantly invading the borderlands, gradually expanding its sphere of influence to Liaodong and infiltrating into western Liaoning.
This is the reason for the seven eastern expeditions of Goguryeo during the Sui and Tang dynasties.
However, the northeast is not only remote, but more importantly, the climate is cold, and the Sui and Tang dynasties are often "invincible", and eventually have to drink and hate because of the difficulty of supply.
Originally, Goguryeo Rongliu King Gao Jianwu had already bowed to the Tang and declared himself a vassal, and the Tang did not want to destroy Goguryeo, and the two sides reached a peace agreement, but the appearance of a person made the situation take a sharp turn for the worse.
This man was named Yuangai Suwen, a Military Nobleman of Goguryeo. Because of the need to avoid Li Yuan, the history books called Yuangai Suwen Quangai Suwen, and his descendants later changed their surname to "Quan".
At that time, Goguryeo was a bit like the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the Central Plains, the kingship declined, the Hao clan controlled the power, and the prime minister Gai Suwen and the Rongliu king Gao Jianwu competed with each other.
In the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Gai Suwen launched a coup d'état, and he led an army into the palace, slaughtered more than a hundred ministers, and divided Gao Jianwu's body, even more fiercely than Dong Zhuo. After the coup, Gai Suwen set up a puppet, Gao Jianwu's nephew Gao Zang, and he himself took over the power.
Gai Suwen's arrogance sparked resistance within Goguryeo, and in order to resolve internal contradictions, he adopted the method of external migration of contradictions, constantly provoking friction with Silla to strengthen personal authority.
In addition to Goguryeo in the north, the Korean Peninsula also had two small states to the south, Baekje to the west and Silla to the east, and the three kingdoms continued to attack. Silla, in order to survive, sensibly threw himself into the arms of the Tang Dynasty, while Baekje and Goguryeo acted like lovers and joined forces to fight Silla.
Silla had no choice but to ask Datang for help. The Tang court then ordered Goguryeo and Baekje to immediately stop invading Silla.
For personal gain, Gai Suwen tore up the agreement between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, and changed from an obedient little obedient to a hedgehog who stabbed people. It was this Gaisuwen who pushed Goguryeo into the abyss.
The Tang Dynasty made three crusades in the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, the twenty-first year of Zhenguan, and the fifth year of Yonghui. Although these three wars failed to destroy Goguryeo, the Tang army captured a large number of cities, captured a large number of people, and eliminated hundreds of thousands of enemies, bringing devastating blows to Goguryeo.
Five years after Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Su Dingfang destroyed Baekje and cut off Goguryeo's arm.
Under the continuous blows of the Tang army for six years, Goguryeo was already in turmoil, and Gai Suwen was also ill in internal and external difficulties. After six years of Xianqing, the generation of rulers who personally destroyed Goguryeo finally died.
Upon the death of Gai Suwen, his eldest son, Izumi Boy, took over his father's scepter and served as goguryeo 'Mo Lizhi' (military and political leader), and his second son, Izumi Nanjian, and third son, Quan Boy, assisted his brother Izumi Boy. Looking at the brother's name, it was full of ominous signs.
The scepter is not equal to power, let alone to the plot, and the three brothers of the Quan family took less than two years to easily assist the Tang Dynasty in playing "Goguryeo" into a collectible.
When the "old bird" Gai Suwen was alive, no one could play with him, the three brothers of the Quan family were just "yellow mouth little sparrows", and the other Hao clans saw the opportunity. As soon as Izumi took office, he made a mistake, and he couldn't wait to tour the surrounding area and temporarily handed over power to his two younger brothers.
As soon as the Izumi boy left Pyongyang, the Hao clan began to act, and they found Izumi Nanjian and Izumi male and said, "Are you still happy?" Your eldest brother has always been jealous of you two, and is about to find an excuse to kill you both, and letting you temporarily take power is a trap. ”
The brothers will be suspicious. These people sent a traitor to find the Izumi boy: "Your two younger brothers want to seize power, as soon as you leave, they will start to act, and you can't go back." ”
The Izumi boy was also suspicious of the letter, so he photographed a close associate and quietly returned to Pyongyang for a secret visit. The ministers immediately sent a letter to Izumi Nanjian and Izumi Nanchan: "The big thing is not good, your brother sent a killer!"
The brothers got on their heads, and in a fit of rage, they killed the spies and nephew Quan Xianzhong sent by the eldest brother, and wrote a letter to the Izumi boy: Come back, big brother, I miss you.
The boy also went up: "I am so good to you, but you are ungrateful, I can't go back, you wait." He occupied the domestic city (Ji'an) and sent his son Quan Xiancheng to Datang as a hostage, asking Datang to be his master.
Therefore, under the order of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Ji, Qi Yi He Li, and Xue Rengui marched to Goguryeo.
The collapse of an organization often begins from the inside, and the rebellion of the Quan brothers instantly shatters Goguryeo. When the Boy of Izumi was the leader of the Party, the Tang army was like a bamboo, and soon the soldiers surrounded Pyongyang.
"Male childbirth" is not "difficult to give birth", he immediately decided to win the opportunity to be reborn, this guy escaped from the city with his brother Quan Nanjian on his back, and gave Li Jixing a kneeling salute.
Izumi nanjian originally wanted to struggle, but unexpectedly, a monk named Xincheng stabbed him in the back. It turned out that this faithful monk had long been rebelled against by Quan Boy, and he took advantage of Quan Nanjian's defenselessness to quietly open the city gate and put the Tang army into the city.
Quan Nan Jianbei came from it and gave himself a knife, but as a result, he did not die, was captured, and later died on the way to exile.
In this way, goguryeo was destroyed by the four fathers and sons of the Quan family in the 700 years of The Jiangshan. Today, the surname of Quan in the northeast is the descendant of Izumi Boy and Izumi Boy.
