Xue Rengui Marches Eastwards

Xue Rengui was a famous military general in the early Tang Dynasty. A long time ago, there were stories among the people about Tang Erzhu's expedition to the East or Xue Rengui's expedition to the East. The two masters of the Tang Dynasty were Tang Taizong, and Xue Rengui was a famous military general in the early Tang Dynasty. In order to regain Liaodong and unify the world, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent troops to conquer Goguryeo three times, conquered Gaisuwen, killed the rebels, and rescued Silla. In the first year of the General Chapter of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 668), Xue Rengui and others led troops to capture Pyongyang City and captured King Gaozang of Goguryeo. Goguryeo was destroyed. The Tang Dynasty established 9 governor's offices, 42 prefectures, and 100 counties in the hometown of Goguryeo. The Andong governor's office was under the jurisdiction of the general, and was controlled by General Xue Rengui, the general of Zuowuwei. Xue Rengui's expedition to the East is based on this period of history, which is part of the story of the generals of the Xue family.
