Goguryeo–Tang War

War ending the Three Kingdoms of Korea period.

Last updated

The conflict ended with the Tang annexation of Goguryeo after the fall of Pyongyang on 22 October 668.[1] From 645 until 668, the Tang dynasty and Goguryeo were engaged in a conflict known as the Goguryeo–Tang War.[2] The Tang forces captured more than 200,000 individuals and relocated them to Chang'an.[1]

What the cited sources add

The same source notes that the violent dissension after Yŏn Kaesomun's death was the primary reason for the Tang–Silla triumph.[9][8] The book "Asia and Oceania" records that the Han River valley separated Baekje and Goguryeo, hindering mutual aid.[10][11] The book "Yŏp ŭro ingnŭn Tong Asia samgukchi" reports that Su Dingfang led 44,000 troops across the sea to besiege Pyongyang in summer 661.[12][13] According to "A New History of Korea", the death of Yŏn Kaesomun enabled a renewed Tang and Silla offensive in 667.[9][14]

King Muyeol began his reign over Silla in 654, as recorded in that same source.[10][11] That source notes the invasion was abandoned in February 662 after a Tang force under Pang Xiaotai was defeated by Yŏn Kaesomun at Sasu, and after the main army failed to capture Pyongyang.[12][13]
