At the time of the great victory of the expeditionary force of the Tang Empire under the capital of the Persian Empire, in the easternmost part of the territory of the Tang Empire, the garrison of the Liaodong Peninsula led by Suning and the Yingzhou Front led by Qin Qiong officially launched the Goguryeo Annihilation Campaign on February 19, the 11th year of Zhenguan.

Although Goguryeo had existed in name only a few months ago as a unified country, their sovereignty was still there, the territory north of the Taedong River and south of the Great Wall was still in the hands of Goguryeo officials, and the Silla people failed to go north to attack Goguryeo territory several times on the Taedong River, losing two generals, and the last commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army was punished, and the Northern Expedition of the Silla people ended with the capture of all Goguryeo territories south of the Taedong River, but at the same time, they also lost nearly 100,000 troops.

As for Baekje, needless to say, although they did not participate in the war that swept the peninsula, they lost a lot of money, when the Great Plague of Goguryeo broke out, Silla bore the brunt and suffered huge losses, and Baekje was also infected by the Silla people later, Baekje's territory was originally small, and after the whole country became an infected land, the Baekje royal family and the Goguryeo royal family made a very unanimous decision - to take all the possessions and people that could be taken away into the sea by boat to avoid the plague.

Goguryeo's territory was several times that of Baekje, its population was also several times that of Baekje, and its losses were naturally several times that of Baekje. They also did not hold it, and with the Tang army temporarily abandoning the Liaodong Peninsula under the leadership of Suning in order to move later, the top brass of Silla and Baekje also made such a difficult decision.

So after the Tang army sent high-level personnel to find the royal families of Silla and Baekje and said that the Tang Dynasty had researched a special prescription for the plague and had cured all the Goguryeo patients in the Liaodong Peninsula, they were ecstatic, they didn't have medicinal materials, it didn't matter, the Tang Dynasty did, they just had to pay, paid the money, and took the medicine. The royal families of Baekje and Silla returned to their homeland. Treat your citizens who are still struggling with the posture of a savior.

This terrible plague came to an end with the successful appearance of the special medicine, and the plague that was not native to Goguryeo was gradually swept away, and the royal families of Silla and Baekje let the army disembark and land with the decoction, and the plague was swept away step by step. Although it was a bit late. More than 50 per cent of the population has been lost. But at least some survived, and most of the nobles and officials survived.

It's much better than Goguryeo.

The native territory of Goguryeo is a dead land, full of dead corpses and viruses. Fortunately, it was early spring at this time, the climate was cold, and the virus activity was suppressed, after Suning and Qin Qiong communicated over a long distance, after getting Qin Qiong's approval, Qin Qiong led the 70,000 horse infantry army from the grassland to Yingzhou to the south of the Goguryeo Great Wall to begin to attack the hometown of Goguryeo, all the way to open the road with flames, and met the Goguryeo people who did not die, so they sent people to give them decoction, and then took all the way south, and settled down in Goguryeo's Hanoi City, which is one of the four counties of the Han Dynasty, and then it was the matter of the logistics army and the officials of the Gongnu Division.

Rescue them, and then send them to labor reform, the rest is not under Qin Qiong's control, Qin Qiong only cares about moving forward, raiding some cities and places, cleaning up the local corpses and sundries, and reorganizing the local order, after being ravaged by the plague, the Goguryeo people who suffered a cold winter have completely collapsed, both physically and mentally, Qin Qiong did not see a few normal people all the way south, but saw many mutilated corpses.

Everyone understands that this is probably a tragedy of "cannibalism", although this kind of thing has not happened in Datang, and it will not be very unusual for this kind of thing to happen in troubled times, but this is always a tragedy, Su Dingfang, who has just eliminated the Yan Ya Department and occupies the land of white mountains and black waters, and Xue Wanche, who led the army to support, are all emotional, this is simply hell on earth, along the way, there are many corpses, and there are few living people, even if there are living people, they are also living people who are on the verge of death.

The Tang army does not have much food, and sometimes it is simply powerless, so they can only give them a little food to find their own way out, but this is a drop in the bucket after all, when they came all the way, there were already a lot of Goguryeo refugees behind the buttocks, staring at the logistics troops of the Tang army with red eyes, Qin Qiong saw that this was not good, and immediately ordered Hanoi City to be cleaned up to settle these refugees who were not killed by the plague, and then sent someone to contact the imperial court to see if a batch of grain could be requisitioned to Goguryeo.

If all these people starve to death, it is estimated that Goguryeo will really be wiped out.

It just so happened that at this time, Li Er Majesty heard that Qin Qiong led the army to launch the final offensive, knowing that this was a battle without suspense, in order to better commemorate this feat, Li Er Majesty sent the eldest grandson Wuji over, carrying a large amount of wine and meat to treat the soldiers, the eldest grandson Wuji set off relatively early, when Qin Qiong sent people to the north to contact, the eldest grandson Wuji happened to meet the messenger, so he rushed over, and the tragedy he saw along the way shocked the eldest grandson Wuji.

After hearing Qin Qiong's request, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately took action, sending people back to the court to ask for food support, while he stayed behind to plan the lives and future uses of the more than 20,000 Goguryeo survivors in the Hanoi Castle area.

From the mouths of these refugees, Qin Qiong and Changsun Wuji learned that this was the territory of the original northern general Li Yuenan, General Li Yuenan was infected with the plague and died a few months ago, and the generals under his command were also infected with the infection, cannibalism and cannibalism, all died, and finally the army collapsed, the defense area collapsed, and the last city that was originally guarded that was not invaded by the plague was also broken by the mob that was impacted, and the plague raged, and the original population of more than one million people in the entire northern territory is now estimated to be left with these people, and there is no one else.

And some people who came from the southern Jinsheng and Quangai Suwen territories also reported that Jinsheng was starved to death, and they were trapped in a city to prevent it from being breached by the hungry infected, and held out for a month, and the food ran out. There was also an outbreak of plague in the city, the foreign ministers were breached, Jin Sheng retreated to the inner city, there was not much food and water in the inner city, after holding on for half a month, Jin Sheng starved to death, and the mob rushed into the inner city, and found that there were mutilated corpses everywhere, and there was also a tragedy of cannibalism here.

The territory of the former General Jin Sheng in the southeast also collapsed, and the generals under his command starved to death. Infected by infection dies. For everyone who survived, the army also inexplicably killed each other, and finally all died, and almost everyone was infected. But there is not one in a hundred that survives. Of the more than 1.5 million people, only 70,000 or 80,000 died. Whereby is still a question.

These survivors from Jinsheng Territory all escaped before the city was breached, and according to the rule of thumb, many people knew that if there was any outbreak of plague or something, most of them would be in hot and humid places. There were few plague outbreaks in very cold and dry places, so an old man with a very experienced experience of a plague led them to the north, but the old man starved to death on the way.

The last seventy or eighty thousand people in Jinsheng's territory who have not been infected and those who have been infected are still alive is a question, no one knows.

As for the people who escaped from the territory of Quangai Suwen, they also said that the city of Anshi that Quangai Suwen was holding was not broken until a month ago, and they escaped before that, and they originally planned to try their luck on the Liaodong Peninsula, but they heard that the Tang army there was killing people, and they were killing very badly, so they went north, and Quangai Suwen didn't know if he was dead or not, but Anshi City was completely abolished, and many soldiers and people who were not infected were infected and died, and the rest is unknown.

There were originally more than one million people on the territory of Quangai Suwen, but now I don't know how many there are, anyway, the remaining three million people of Goguryeo before the plague have lost more than 90% of them in the plague, and now whether there are still 300,000 is a question, Goguryeo is really going to be wiped out this time, and those Goguryeo people who were rescued by the Tang Dynasty all expressed their willingness to be Tang people, and asked the Tang army to bring them to the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they don't want to continue living here, it's too terrible here.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Qin Qiong and others looked at each other, this plague is powerful, but this is also too powerful, so powerful that all the Datang people feel frightened, if it weren't for the fact that Suning immediately decided to take the people of the entire peninsula to decisively abandon the peninsula and withdraw to Datang, it is estimated that now Datang is also suffering, and it is difficult for those 100,000 people not to die, at first Qin Qiong was still dissatisfied with Suning's sudden abandonment of the Liaodong Peninsula, but now he understands.

I can afford it, I can put it down, this kid is still young, what can't I do again?

The northern road advanced along the lì, almost encountered any resistance, except for the threat of the plague that could exist at any time, but with the support of medicine and fire, the plague also showed its fragile side in front of humans, many things are like this, the more violent and dangerous it is on the surface, the weaker and more frightened it is inside, and if it finds the right way, the plague that killed more than 2.7 million Goguryeo people will also be completely destroyed.

Suning's army marched all the way north and east, and did not encounter resistance from the Goguryeo people, or that what they saw in their eyes was basically corpses, and they only needed to be solved with flames, and those who were not corpses were still alive and dead, and these people who survived by sacrificing humanity were on the verge of collapse both physically and mentally, and it didn't matter to them who would occupy the land under their feet.

The special medicine can heal the body, but this country and nation destroyed by the plague are no longer there, their spirit has been destroyed, and the rest of the qiē is not important.

When Suning led the army to Anshi City, it was already a ruined dead city, and Zhang Liang, who vowed to break through here and slaughter the city, was extremely depressed, but he also knew that this was not something that could be changed by manpower, and the artillery originally prepared for Anshi City was completely useless, for the current Goguryeo, artillery is really nothing, they will no longer be deterred by these things, they are dead, this once powerful country that can compete with the Tang Dynasty has completely become history, The remaining 300,000 people will be taken to Datang to continue to live on the land of Datang.

They can't continue to survive here, here, just leave the Silla and Baekje people, and when the time comes, move some Han people to come and live, jointly develop the strategy of Liaodong to develop here, re-establish an administrative region belonging to the Tang Dynasty, directly divide a province, or directly set up prefectures and counties, a qiē here belongs to Liaodong Province, and the prefectures and counties below him are the real administrative regions.

Quangai Suwen is also gone, Suning doesn't even know if he is dead or alive, if he dies, where will he die? Among so many corpses, which one is the corpse of Quangai Suwen? Or is it rotten, or has it been eaten by hungry and irrational Goguryeo? This is all possible, nothing is impossible, the Tang army has seen too many along the way, the king of the former battle, now it is just a broken corpse, and this qiē is just a dream after all, in the end, it is just a handful of loess, a little famous, and it is just a conversation after tea and dinner for future generations.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Goguryeo, so far completely ruined, disappeared in the long river of history, another time and space to the Tang Dynasty brought decades of pain to the Tang Dynasty Goguryeo was strangled by the Tang Army and Silla and the plague and ambition decades in advance, and the peninsula strategy has just begun, the Northeast War, only the first step, the war between the east and the west, is just the beginning.
