In the eighth year of Daye, the first expedition to Goguryeo failed. The nine armies were defeated, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were buried in Liaodong.
However, no one knew that just as the Sui army was being routed, a group of soldiers had crawled out from the pile of corpses and begun a desperate counterattack. They broke through three Goguryeon cities and killed the Goguryeon King, Gao Yuan!
The aristocratic families were in power. Even if they lost a million soldiers, they were still prosperous!
"Millions of lives are gone like a knife. If you don’t want to be trampled to death like an ant, you have to change your way of living!”
On that day, Li Xian brought Gao Yuan’s head back to Daxing City, shocking the world!
