The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

[However, after the second expedition to Goguryeo began, Yang Guang came up with something new.]
[He took all the power of the army into his own hands, and had to send people back to Beijing to report even the smallest matter. This delayed many opportunities for war.]

[Not only that, when the army finally surrounded Goguryeo's Liaodong City and was about to break it, Goguryeo surrendered. When the general passed the news to the capital and waited for Emperor Yang of Sui's order, Goguryeo recovered and made a comeback.]
[This happened several times.]

[This made the Sui army, whose supply lines were already extremely long, even more mired in a tug-of-war. In the end, the supply lines were cut off and the soldiers had no choice but to return in defeat.]

[As for the third time, why do we say that we lost half of the time? Let’s take a look at what happened the third time! ]

[How can I put it? In the third expedition against Goguryeo, Yang Guang learned the lessons from the previous two campaigns, such as the battle line was too long, the supply could not keep up, and the government orders were not communicated quickly. ]
【So this time, he decided to lead the army in person. 】

[His approach was actually somewhat reliable this time. Just like the last time Emperor Wen decided to lead the army in person. Seeing that he was coming in person, Goguryeo King Gao Yuan quickly gave up resistance and surrendered to him.]
[Yang Guang was naturally very pleased, thinking that he had finally made this small country obedient, so he led his army back a long way with satisfaction.]

[But he never expected that when he returned and summoned Gao Yuan to meet him again, Gao Yuan did not come.]
[That is to say, after Yang Guang was coaxed back to Luoyang, thousands of miles away, Goguryeo rebelled again.]

[So, to say that Yang Guang won half of the third expedition against Goguryeo is a stretch.]

【Yang Guang was furious and decided to launch a fourth expedition, but by then he and the Sui Dynasty had no chance.】
[The three expeditions to Goguryeo, coupled with the construction of the Grand Canal and the construction of Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, had thoroughly aroused the indignation of the people. Farmers and homeless people from all over the country rose up in rebellion to fight against this tyrant.]

[It was at this time that Emperor Yang of Sui's various great talents and strategies were like a balloon that had burst, and he had to stop. He himself hid in the palace in Jiangdu and refused to come out. He was just waiting for others to "chop off" his beautiful head! ]

【Is it funny to hear this? Do you feel it is familiar?】
【From a distance, isn’t it a bit like Zhao Kuo, who only talked about war on paper? 】
[As for the recent ones, they are like the keyboard warriors who make comments on the Internet all day long. 】

[He speaks grandiosely but does a terrible job. ]
[Once his true colors are exposed, he will surely get angry and put on a sophisticated look, saying: "Alas! How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan!"]

Lei Xiaomeng's words hit the nail on the head for Yang Guang. His face suddenly turned pale and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"Alas! How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan…" He whispered this sentence over and over again, but the whole person seemed to have fallen into a coma, as if he was possessed by a demon.
“Alas! How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan… Alas! How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan… Haha, hahaha, hahahaha…”
"That's right. I am Honghu, I am a child of destiny, I am the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the king of this world. How can you compare with me? Compare with me! Hahahaha! Hahahaha..."

Yang Guang fell into madness, and Yang Jian's face was not looking good either. Just as he was about to wave his hand to have someone take him away, he heard Lei Xiaomeng in the sky continue.

【Speaking of this, the up master thought of another thing done by Emperor Yang of Sui. Although this thing did not cause the Sui Dynasty to suffer a great loss of money and manpower like the previous things, it further accelerated the demise of the Sui Dynasty. 】Hearing this, Yang Jian's hand paused, and he said with a sullen face: "First, block his mouth and let him listen. I want to see what other treasonous things he can do!"

[After the third expedition to Goguryeo failed, Emperor Yang of Sui was very depressed and wanted to go out to relax. While inspecting the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Sui Dynasty, he also wanted to regain some self-confidence, so he led his people out of Beijing for a tour. ]
[As he was patrolling, he arrived near Yanmen Pass in the north. He suddenly remembered that the Turks were his vassal state, so he summoned the Turkic Khan to come to an audience.]

【It was just that at that time, there were disputes all over the country, and even many nobles rebelled against Emperor Yang of Sui. However, the Sui Dynasty still had some strength left, and some people who were defeated and wanted by the Sui army fled to small countries around them. The Turks also recruited many of these rebels. 】
[Seeing this opportunity, these people would not let it go, so they instigated the Turkic Khan to send troops, intending to take the opportunity to kill Emperor Yang of Sui.]

[Therefore, Emperor Yang of Sui not only failed to regain his confidence during this northern tour, but was surrounded by the Turkic army and trapped in Yanmen County.]
【Emperor Yang of Sui saw this and could only issue an edict to have the Sui army from all over the country come to the king’s defense.】

[Not only that, he also overcame his fear and listened to the minister's advice, planning to take his favorite youngest son to the tower to boost the morale of the soldiers.]
[But unfortunately, after climbing just a few steps on the tower, the Turks launched an attack, shooting arrows at the tower and even in front of Emperor Yang of Sui.]

【Emperor Sui Yang was completely frightened. He hugged his son and burst into tears in public. He actually collapsed!】

[Although several Sui troops arrived in time, the Turkic Khan also withdrew his troops under the lobbying of his own Khatun, Princess Yishicheng of the Sui Dynasty, who was close to the public.]
【But this time, Emperor Yang of Sui was besieged for 33 days. Therefore, this incident tore off the last fig leaf of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, and Emperor Yang of Sui lost all his dignity. 】

[Not only that, the prestige that the Great Sui Dynasty had originally built up among the surrounding small countries was also destroyed, which was a heavy loss. The Great Sui Dynasty's status as the Celestial Empire was also gone. ]

"You little bastard, you little bastard!" Yang Jian's hands trembled with anger. "The Turks, the little Turks, how dare they bully our Great Sui Dynasty like this? I will make them pay the price."

Qimin Khan of the Turkic region had surrendered to the Sui Dynasty because of the rebellion in his country, hoping that the Sui Dynasty would help him restore his country. In view of his respect for the Sui Dynasty and his sincere submission, Yang Jian even made a princess of the royal family and married her to him.

Recently, the Turkic unrest broke out again. Yang Jian wanted to take the opportunity to help him quell the civil unrest and let his youngest son Yang Liang lead the army to attack the Turkic and help him return to the Turkic.
But just as I had a rough idea in my mind and hadn't yet realized it, I heard such a thing.

Although he was extremely disappointed with Yang Guang, the Turks seemed even more hateful. If he did not punish them, how could he demonstrate the prestige of the Sui Dynasty?
"Come here, where is Qimin Khan? Ask him to..."

At this moment, Lei Xiaomeng's tone in the sky scroll suddenly changed, full of speechlessness.
[In fact, the old Turkic Khan Qimin has always had a good relationship with the Sui Dynasty.]
