Mystery of the Battle of Jupilsan Mountain.

 In 645 AD, Tang Tae-jong personally led the army and invaded Goguryeo.During the Sui Dynasty, he captured Liaodongseong Fortress, which was not captured, and defeated Goguryeo troops several times in the field, but eventually lost the Ansiseong Battle and stepped down.It was the first or last failure of Tang Tae-jong Lee Se-min, who made the greatest contribution to unifying the world with masters like Giraseong when his father Lee Yeon was ill, and eventually left his will to the Goguryeo expedition in 649. The problem is that the records of the war between the Tang and Goguryeo during this period have too many problems, and as I have already said several times, I dare to affirm that it is very, very foolish to believe the records of the Goguryeo War recorded by this period. In particular, the Battle of Jupilsan Mountain, which can be said to be the highlight of the war at this time, has too many problems to believe as it is. First of all, the records about the Battle of Jupilsan Mountain in the History of the Three Kingdoms.Of course, I understand that the History of the Three Kingdoms also referred to the records of Chinese history such as the Old Book of Goryeo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the emperor reached Ansi Castle and sent soldiers to attack, Go Yeon-soo in the north and Go Hye-jin in the south saved Ansi Castle with 150,000 soldiers to go to our military and horses. The emperor said to the guards. "Now [Go] Yeonsu will have three strategies. If we lead the military directly and connect Ansi Castle to make it a bastion, eat grain in the castle and take away our cows and horses, we will not be able to suddenly fall even if we attack, and if we try to go back, it will be blocked by mud and make our troops tired. It is a heavy responsibility to draw soldiers in the castle and run away at night together. It is a disgrace to come out and fight against us without counting one's wisdom and abilities. Look at you guys. They will surely come out as a disgrace, so it is before my eyes that captivates them." At that time, Go Jeong-ui, who was old enough to know the work well, told Yeonsu. "Since King Jin removed several heroes inside and subjugated Orangkae outside to become an independent emperor, this person is an outstanding talent in the world. Now that [he] has brought the world's best group, we can't confront. As my plan, it is better to organize the military and spend time without fighting, and to endure for a long time and share surprise troops to cut off the military route. If the food runs out, we can't fight, and even if we try to go back, there is no way, so we can win." [Go] Without listening to the training, we led the military and went straight to 40 ri away from Ansi-seong. Afraid that he would come hesitating, the emperor ordered the general Asanasai, and took 1,000 soldiers of the sudden palace, lured them, and falsely fled the first battle. [Go] Yeonsu fought, saying, "It's easy to deal with," and beat them, and reached the 8-ri southeast of Ansiseong Fortress and camped against the mountain. When the emperor gathered all the generals and asked for a trick, the Jangson weapon replied. "God hears, 'When you want to fight against the enemy, you must first look at the minds of your graduates.' God was passing by various military camps, and when he heard that Goguryeo (military) had come, he saw all the graduates pulling out swords and hanging flags, showing a pleasant light on their faces. These are the soldiers who will definitely win. His Majesty personally went to the military camp before the age of 20 and won by surprise, so [it] was all planned by the emperor above and several generals followed the plan. Today's work is led by His Majesty." The emperor smiled and said, "Since you refuse like this, I will think about it for you," and looked up high with hundreds of cavalry following [long-handed] weapons, and looked at where the mountain god could hide and enter the military. Our army camped together with Malgal and the military, and since it was 40 lis long, there was a light that the emperor looked at and worried about it. King Dojong of the River said. "The defense of Pyongyang will surely be weak as Goguryeo is blocking the troops of heaven with the power of the whole country." Please give God 5,000 elite soldiers. If you turn that root upside down, you can surrender hundreds of thousands of troops without fighting." The emperor did not listen and sent the envoy to Yeonsu. "I came to ask for sin because the powerful servant of your country killed the king, but it is not my true intention to reach the battle. When you enter your border, you have taken away several castles because of the lack of appearance and food. If your country has the example of a servant, it will surely return what it has lost." [Go] Yeon-su believed this and did not defend himself again. The emperor called in a civil service officer at night to plan work, ordered Lee Se-jeok to camp at the western pass with 15,000 infantry and cavalry, and Jangson weapons and Woo Jin-dal took 11,000 elite soldiers as surprise soldiers to come out to the canyon from the north of the mountain and attack them. The emperor himself had 4,000 infantry and cavalry, laid down the flag with drums and flute, and climbed the mountain. The emperor ordered several troops to come out at once and attack them when they heard the sound of drums and flute, and ordered the official in charge to set up a tent next to the shrine to receive surrender. That night, a shooting star fell into the camp of [high] Yeonsu. The next day, Yeonsu and others saw that there were few soldiers of the enemy and tried to lead the army to fight. When the emperor saw the army of weapons raising dust, he hit the drum, blew the flute, and ordered to lift the flag, and several troops came out in unison, drumming and screaming. [Go] Yeonsu and others tried to divide the military and prevent it, but the military camp was already dizzy. There was thunder and lightning, and when Seol In-gwi, a Yongmun person, wore strange clothes and shouted loudly and captured the military camp, there was no one to confront where he was headed, and our soldiers collapsed. When the large army attacked, our soldiers collapsed greatly, and there were about 30,000 people who died. The emperor looked at [Seol] Ingui and appointed him as a guerrilla general. [Go] Yeonsu and others relied on the rest of the group to protect themselves, but the emperor ordered several troops to surround them, and all the long-handed weapons demolished the bridge and cut off their return home. [Go] Yeonsu and [Go] Hyejin had 36,800 people in a group and asked for surrender, entered the military gate, bowed, and prayed for their lives. The emperor removed 3,500 ministers under the curse and let them go to the inner area to return to Pyongyang, caught 3,300 horsemen, buried them all, and captured 50,000 horses, 50,000 cows, and 10,000 Myeonggwanggae. The other machines were this much. The name of the mountain [the emperor] went to was renamed Jupilsan Mountain. Ko Yeon-soo was used as Hongnyeogyeong and Ko Hye-jin as a private farm. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In short, it's as follows. 1. When the party army led by Tang Tae-jong reached Ansi Castle, Goguryeo led the Northern Abuse Ko Yeon-soo and the Southern Abuse Ko Hye-jin to lead the 150,000 troops and save Ansi Castle. 2. Dangtaejong conducts camouflage peace negotiations and manned operations to attack Goguryeo forces that will come out quickly. 3. The Goguryeo army, which fell into the ship, is killed 30,000 people, 36,800 people are captured, and Ko Yeon-soo and Ko Hye-jin also surrender to Dang Tae-jong. 4. Dangtaejong gives Ko Yeon-soo and Ko Hye-jin the government posts of Hongnyeogyeong and Sanonggyeong, and the 3,300 Malgals captured as prisoners lead 3,500 of Goguryeo's troops, and all the rest are released. First of all, let's move on to whether Goguryeo troops were able to mobilize 150,000 people at the time, and the mystery of the Battle of Jupilsan Mountain, which is viewed in a small way, is as follows. 1. Ko Yeon-soo and Ko Hye-jin's positions are too low. In the Samguksagi, only the position of the northern and southern curses appears, but in "Bookbu Wongui", Ko Yeon-soo is recorded as "Widudae-type Daebu-Hubu monarch" and Ko Hye-jin as "a large-scale monarch of Jeonbu." At that time, the position of Yoksal was considered valid based on the records from the Goja tombstone (the records of ancestors' official positions and government offices - the third class of the Goja tombstone also refer to the western center, the Western Yoksal) But it is wrong to see Ko Hye-jin's record as a large-scale government official. The problem is that their offices and offices are too low to command the unprecedented 150,000 troops. Of course, the above two battalions also won the fifth official light - requisitioning soldiers, offering government posts and plotting secrets, but it was too low to command nearly half of the Goguryeo army's total troops at the time. Furthermore, considering that this period was only four years after Yeon Gaesomun caused the bloody Coup, I think Yeon Gaesomun himself or a person who had a higher official rank should have led it. Of course, there are scholars who use both of them as royal surnames, and because it was a period of aristocratic coalition regime that valued the family of origin more than the government officials, but I personally don't think so.

First of all, it was true that both were royal family members, but there were cases where high-ranking officials or high-ranking officials were given royal duties, and during this period, they were generally inherited (Yeon Gaesomun was also inherited after his father's death, and he was also appointed as a high-ranking official). 2. Why are there two commanders? This was not something that scholars had much question about, but why were the two general commanders and the two who had the same government posts in the same office? Organizations called ancient or modern or military are not organizations that can be maintained or moved without clarifying the establishment and establishment of command rights.

Therefore, in the ancient East, a ceremony was held to hand over Boowol, a symbol of command to a participating general, and even in modern times, commanders and staff were strictly distinguished. There were similar cases in ancient Rome, but at that time, the problem was solved by changing the duties of the commander once a day.Even in that case, one of the commanders was in charge of the Roman army in the Battle of Canne. Goguryeo fought numerous wars and organized your troops to go on expeditions or defend themselves, but this is the first and last time that two commanders with the same government posts and positions conducted at once. Of course, it can be said that Yeon Gaesomun shared the command because he did not trust these two people, but if so, the question of whether he should have divided the army into two should have followed immediately. 3. What are the exact casualties of Goguryeo soldiers? As you can see from the records of the Three Kingdoms fraud, Goguryeo soldiers and prisoners in the Battle of Jupilsan Mountain are often confused or inconsistent. First of all, out of 150,000 troops, the number is confirmed to be 30,000 dead and 36,800 captured.Aside from the dead, there are too many questions about how to deal with prisoners. It was said that the Malgal people were buried in a trial case, and that 3,500 of the remaining prisoners were dragged to the Tang Dynasty, and the rest were all "released"... War is not a joke. They are not joking.Of course, there must have been a shortage of food or difficulties in management, but the release of not one or two but 30,000 soldiers is a decisive cause of making librarians in the midfield laugh along with the record that the damage to the party was only 2,000 during the 645 Goguryeo expedition. In addition, except for 36,800 prisoners in 30,000 dead, there is no mention of the remaining 80,000 troops.You clearly recorded that the number of Goguryeo troops was 150,000. In places such as Samguksagi and Gudangseo, there were only 30,000 troops mobilized by the party at this time, including 4,000 troops led by Lee Se-min, 15,000 by Lee Se-jeok, 11,000 by Jangson weapons and Woo Jin-dal.Of course, we can defeat 150,000 people with 30,000 people, but we can't siege them.No, even if the siege is possible, we can't stop breaking through. Even if they believed in the records of librarians in the midfield, about a third of the 150,000 Goguryeo and Malgal Allied Forces suffered from 30,000 dead, 3,300 Malgals buried alive, and 3,500 Goguryeo soldiers who were captured and taken away.It's true that I lost, but it wasn't damage enough to say that I was devastated or devastated.In addition, as mentioned at the subsequent operational meeting, there were 100,000 Goguryeo troops in Sinseong and Geonanseong, and a considerable number of troops were stationed in Ogolseong Fortress, which was originally intended to attack, so as mentioned in the conclusion, some of the soldiers - probably defeated Ko Yeon-soo and Ko Hye-jing. Next, I will talk about the size of Goguryeo expedition of the party in 645, which is still controversial. I hope you have a great weekend.
