Kemenangan Goguryeo[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Konflik pertama Perang Goguryeo–Tang dimulai ketika Kaisar Taizong (m. 626–649) dari dinasti Tang memimpin kampanye militer melawan Goguryeo pada 645 untuk melindungi sekutunya Silla dan menghukum Generalissimo Yeon Gaesomun karena membunuh Raja Yeongnyu. Pasukan Tang dikomandani oleh Kaisar Taizong sendiri, dan jenderal-jenderal Li Shiji, Li Daozong, dan Zhangsun Wuji.
By the AD 640s the Tang felt secure enough to threaten Goguryeo for themselves. Their initial attempt ended in failure, and Goguryeo's success in defeating a Chinese army encouraged the northern Korean kingdom to become more belligerent against its neighbors.
After the Tang dynasty succeeded the Sui, the second Tang emperor also tried to bring Goguryeo under its control, launching an unsuccessful attack in 645. Goguryeo repelled a second invasion in 662 with victories by the general Yeon Gaesomun. . . . The commander of Ansi fortress, Yang Manchun, defeats an invading Tang army sent by Emperor Taizong.
The Minzhong Temple is known today as the Fayuan Temple in Beijing. The temple was built by Emperor Li Shimin to mourn and salvage the lost souls in his failed attempt to conquer Goguryeo.
