Yuwen Shu's real name is Poyetou, and his ancestors changed their surname to Yuwen with their masters because they worked as servants when the beans returned to Xianbei. Yuwen Shu's father, Yu Wensheng, rose to the top in the Northern Zhou Dynasty because of his meritorious military service.

Yuwen Shu was very brave when he was young, and he was familiar with bow and horse. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Shu began to serve as the official residence because of his father Yu Wensheng's military exploits. Yuwen Shu was humble and strict by nature, and was loved by the Northern Zhou Dynasty's powerful minister and Otsuka's slaughter Yuwen Hu, so he was appointed as his cronies as an official.

After getting rid of Yuwen Hu, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty took power by himself, and called Yuwen Shu as Zuo Gongbo, who was promoted to a doctor in English and Chinese medicine, and was conferred the title of Duke of Boling, and later changed to Duke of Puyang. Yuwen Yun, Emperor Xuandi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, died of illness on May 11th, 58. Zhou Jingdi Yu Wenyan was young and left the dictatorship of Prime Minister Emperor Wen of Sui. In order to prevent the change of the imperial clan in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and stabilize its ruling power, Emperor Wen of Sui summoned five kings, Zhao, Chen, Yue, Dai and Teng, to the DPRK on the pretext that the daughter princess would marry in Turkey. Because Wei Chijiong (nephew of Yu Wentai, Emperor Wendi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty) was very important, he was afraid of different plans. In the name of burying Emperor Xuandi of Zhou Dynasty, he summoned his son Wei Chiji to enter the DPRK. And take Wei Xiaokuan as the general manager of Xiangzhou and go to Yecheng to replace Wei Chijiong.

In June, fearing that Emperor Wen of Sui's autocratic power would be detrimental to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wei Chiqiong openly opposed Emperor Wen of Sui. At that time, Emperor Wen of Sui used the young emperor to call the shots at home and abroad, married Li Mu in Bingzhou, and sent a daughter princess to kiss the Turks to eliminate the trouble in the north; Strengthen Luoyang's defense as a strategic base to discuss Wei Chijiong; Yang Shangxi, a doctor in the planning department, was ordered to send 3 soldiers to guard Tongguan to prevent its sneak attack. On July 1th, Emperor Wen of Sui dispatched Guanzhong soldiers, made Wei Xiaokuan the marching marshal, and led an army to crusade against Wei Chijiong. Yuwen Shu rode three thousand paces at the rate of marching manager, and struck it from Wei Xiaokuan.

At the end of July, the army moved from Luoyang to Heyang (now south of Mengxian County, Henan Province). Wei Chijiong's general Li Junzheng besieged Huaizhou (now Qinyang, Henan Province), and Yuwen Shu was ordered by Wei Xiaokuan to break it, so he led the army eastward to the southeast of Yongqiao Town (now southwest of Wuzhi, Henan Province). Then Yuwen Shu and other generals defeated Wei Chi-yun in the battle of Wu Zhi, and Yuwen Shu took the lead in the battle, capturing many enemies, and each battle was successful. After the counter-insurgency, Yuwen Shu was worshiped by an exception to the column country, and was honored as a Lord protector, giving him 3, horses. At that time, Chen Yongxin, Hou Chenjun, and Fan Zijin Mausoleum (present-day Changzhou, Jiangsu Province) defected to Xiao Sui, and joined forces with him to * * * reject the Yuwen Shu Army. Seeing the arrival of Yuwen Shu's army, Xiao Xiang was afraid, so he set up a camp in the east of Jinling City, and set up a unique pond road. He also sent Wang Bao to defend Wu Zhou (now ruling Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province) and led his army into Taihu Lake to attack Yuwen Shu's army from behind.

Yuwen Shu led his troops to smash the enemy's camp in the east of Jinling, and immediately returned to attack Xiao Xiang, defeating Xiao Xiang's troops and beheading Xiao Xiang's Sima Cao Le fork. Another army attacked Wu Zhou, and Wang Bao abandoned the city and fled. Xiao sui packed up the rest of the troops and surrendered to Baoshan (now Dongting Xishan in the middle of Taihu Lake), which was broken by the water army led by Yan Rong. Xiao Sui led several people to hide in the people's home and was captured. Subsequently, Yuwen Shu led the army to Fenggongdai (now near Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province), and Xiao Yan and Chen Junfan surrendered to Sui in Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province). Xiao Xiang and Xiao Yan were sent to Chang 'an to be beheaded. Yuwen Shu pacified the land of Sanwu (now east and south of Taihu Lake in Jiangsu and Shaoxing in Zhejiang), which laid the foundation for the unification of Lingnan in the future. Yuwen Shu worshiped a son for opening a mansion, gave three thousand pieces of things and worshipped the general manager of Anzhou. In February (581) of the first year of Dading in Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui, the prime minister, was enthroned by Zen, which was for Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, and he was renamed Emperor. At the beginning of the Emperor's reign, Yuwen Shu worshipped the right-back general.

in order to destroy the Chen dynasty and unify the north and the south, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty concentrated 518, naval and army troops in October of the eighth year of Emperor Kai (588), with banners and boats stretching thousands of miles from the sea in the east to Bashu in the west. From the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the lower reaches, it was divided into eight roads to attack Chen. Yuwen Shu served as the chief marching officer, and led the troops to prepare for the south crossing.

in December, Sui Jun launched an attack. On the 17th day of the first month in the ninth year of Emperor Kai (589), Yuwen Shu led his 3, men to cross the river. At that time, Han Qinhu and He Ruobi attacked Danyang, and Yuwen Shu occupied Shicheng (now Qingliang Mountain in the west of Nanjing) as a sign of solidarity. On 2th, Sui Jun invaded Jiankang (now Nanjing), captured Chen Houzhu, and the Chen Dynasty perished.

After Sui Jun captured Jiankang, the capital of Chen, and destroyed the Chen Dynasty, Xiao You, the secretariat of Wu Zhou, refused to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, and supported himself, with people from Wu pushing him mainly. Xiao Yan, the secretariat of East Yangzhou, also refused to surrender according to the state. At the beginning of February, Emperor Emperor Wen of Sui of Sui Dynasty sent Yuan Qi and Zhang Mo Yan, the chief marching officers, to lead an army crusade, marching hand in hand with water and land. Yan Rong, the secretariat of Qingzhou in Sui Dynasty, led the water army from the East China Sea and was also under the command of Yuwen Shu. Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty wrote a letter saying, "Gong Hongxun's great cause has long been known for his high reputation and sincere service to the country. The bandits of Jinling have been cleared, and the land of Wu Hui is far away on the east road, and Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiang are in it. The official rate will make a trip, comfort the other side, promote national prestige, and declare the dynasty. To be fair and clear, to win, to be popular with electric sweeps, and to be self-sufficient. If you don't have to fight, Li Shu will be safe, Fang Fu will be pregnant, and the power of the public will also be. " Yang Yue was a young girl in Dali at that time. When Yang Sufan did something, he discussed it with him first and then did it. After Yuwen Shu returned to Beijing, he hosted many banquets for Yang Yue. When the wine was drunk, Yuwen Shu took out his rare treasures to show Yang Yue. Yang Yue is greedy for money. Seeing so many treasures, he can't put it down. Yuwen Shu proposed to gamble with Yang, and took the opportunity to lose the treasure to Yang. Yang about income is much, then feel a little embarrassed, so back to Yuwen Shu for dinner. During the dinner, many treasures were mentioned, and Yuwen Shu said, "This gift from the King of Jin makes the narrative and the public happy." Yang Yue was frightened and said, "Who is it?"? Yuwen Shu said: "A husband should be upright and follow the right path, so as to consolidate what people and ministers always do, oppose economic cooperation and justice, and also achieve what the leader ordered. Since ancient times, sages and gentlemen have always kept abreast of the news to avoid disasters. The brother of the public, fame and fortune, when the road is used, is old. The courtiers are humiliated by the first step, and they can win! And store the palace to do whatever you want, every time you gnash your teeth in power. Although the public is bound to the owner, there are many people who want to endanger the public. Once the Lord abandons his ministers, how can the public take refuge? Today, the crown prince has lost his love for the queen, and the Lord has a heart of dethroning, which is known to all. If you ask for a king of Jin today, it's in the mouth of your brother. If you can make great achievements at this time, Wang will be engraved on the bone marrow, and Si will go to the danger of exhausting eggs and become the peace of Taishan. " Yang Yueran said it, and immediately found Yang Su, who also had this idea, and was overjoyed when he heard it. From then on, Yang Su often conspired with Yuwen Shu to plan this matter.

Yuwen Shu's trip to Kyoto paved the way for Yang Guang to seize the Prince. From then on, Yang Guang's friendship with Yuwen Shu was far better than others, and his eldest daughter Princess Nanyang was betrothed to Yuwen Shu's second son Yu Wenshi, and countless gifts were given to Yuwen Shu. Under the plan of Yuwen Shu and Yang Su brothers, finally in November of the same year (6), Emperor Wendi of Sui made a letter to the King of Jin, Yang Guang, as the Crown Prince. Yang Guang immediately took Yuwen Shu as the left-back rate. According to the regulations, the official rank was four at that time, and Emperor Wendi promoted the official rank to three because Yuwen Shu had a high position, which shows that Emperor Wendi attached great importance to Yuwen Shu. In July of the fourth year of Renshou (64), Emperor Wendi died of illness, and Yang Guang ascended the throne for Emperor Yangdi. In the first month of the first year of Daye (65), Emperor Yangdi worshipped Yuwen Shu as the left-back general and renamed Xu Guogong. Great cause for three years (67), and add the government instrument with three divisions, every winter is the meeting, need to advocate one.

In July of the fourth year of Daye (68), Pei Ju, assistant minister of Huangmen, lobbied Tiele to attack Tuguhun. After Tuguhun was defeated, Khan Fuyun led his troops to retreat into xiping county (the capital of Huangshui, now Qinghai), and sent an envoy to the Sui Dynasty to ask for help. Emperor Yangdi ordered Yuwen Shu to garrison Xiping near Qiangcheng (now southeast of Huangyuan, Qinghai), and Yang Xiong, the king of Guande, went out to water the river (the county ruled Hejin, now Guide, Qinghai) in order to meet Tuyuhun's surrender. When Fu Yun Khan saw that the Sui army was strong and prosperous, he was afraid to surrender, and he led the people to flee to the west. Yuwen Shu led Ying Yanglang to chase after Liang Yuanli, Zhang Jun and Cui Shi, and defeated Tuguhun in Mantou City (now Xinghai North, Qinghai Province), killing more than 3, people, and then captured Chishui City (southeast of Xinghai). Tuguhun's remnants retreated to Qiunichuan again, and Sui Jun continued to pursue them. In Qiunichuan, Tuguhun was defeated again, and 2 princes, ministers and generals were captured. There were more than 1, tribes who came to defect, and Fuyun Khan ran south to the Snow Mountain (now south of Eling Lake in Qinghai). The territory of Tuguhun, 4 miles east and west, and 2 miles north and south, are all owned by the Sui Dynasty, where Sui set up four counties: Shanshan, Qiemo, Xihai and Heyuan.

in the fifth year of the great cause (69), Yuwen Shu followed Emperor Yangdi to the west to visit Jinshan (now Tuolai Mountain) and climbed Yanzhi Mountain. Because it is located in the Gobi, in order to prevent accidents, Yuwen Shu personally leads scouts to patrol every time. When Tuguhun attacked Zhangye, Yuwen Shu led the army to repel it. After returning to Jiangdu Palace, Emperor Yangdi ordered Yuwen Shu and Zuo Guanglu's doctor Su Wei to take part in the election. Yuwen Shu was successful in my official career at that time, with equal status with Su Wei, and was even more beloved by Emperor Yangdi. Every time Emperor Yangdi received a tribute or food from various countries, he immediately sent someone to Yuwen Shu House to share it with him, so that people who gave gifts back and forth often met on the road. At the same time, Yuwen Shu is also good at welcoming people. "When you pitch and spin, Rong Zhi will be monarch, and those who stay in it will be salty." Yuwen Shu is also good at ingenious ideas. "Everything decorated is unexpected. The number of foreign objects in the palace is amazing, so the emperor is very happy. " Legend has it that the pattern of Chang 'an City was originally conceived in Yuwen Shu.

After that, Yuwen Shu was even more favored by Emperor Yangdi, who was in power for a while, and Emperor Yangdi obeyed his words. At that time, Zhang Jin, the left-back general, had the same official position as Yuwen Shu. He once commented on Yuwen Shu, and when he accidentally said something he didn't like, Yuwen Shu scolded him, making Zhang Jin walk away in fear, and civil and military officials didn't dare to go against it. Yuwen Shu is also greedy and despicable, so that "when people know something rare, they must seek it". Dajia, a wealthy businessman, and the children of conference semifinals in Longyou rushed to send gold and silver treasures, and Yuwen Shu promoted them and called them sons. Since then, these people have been scrambling to bribe Yuwen Shu, and there are countless treasures. There are hundreds of concubines and beauties in Yuwen Shu's backyard, with more than a thousand servants, and many good horses. Yuwen Shu's prosperity was unparalleled at that time. On February 19th, the seventh year of the Great Cause (612), Emperor Yangdi toured Zhuojun (governing Jixian County, now southwest of Beijing). On the 26th, on the grounds that Goguryeo did not obey the courtiers' rites, he sent a letter to conquer Goguryeo and ordered the ranks of the world to gather in Zhuojun in the spring of 612, regardless of distance.

in the first month of the eighth year of Daye (613), all the enlisted soldiers were concentrated in Zhuojun, claiming to be two million. On the second day of the second day, Emperor Yangdi issued a letter to the left 12 armies to leave Loufang, Changcen, Laihai, Gaima, Jian 'an, Nansu, Liaodong, Xuantu, Fuyu, North Korea, Woju and Le Lang, while the right 12 armies left Sticking Cicada, Containing Capital, Hunmi, Lintun, Houcheng, Tixi and Ta Dun. Yuwen Shu was appointed as a general of the Fu Yu Dao. Before he left, Emperor Yangdi said to Yuwen Shu, "Courtesy means that women should follow the service of seventy people, and the public should follow the family. In ancient times, it was said that women did not join the army, which meant that they were in a war. As for the camp, there is no harm. Xiang Ji concubine, that is, its story ". Yuwen Shu went out with his family.

In March, the Sui army crossed the Liaoshui River and defeated Koguryo Army on the east bank of Liaoshui River (now Liaohe River), killing tens of thousands of people, and marched into Liaodong City (now Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province). In May, the Koguryo army was frustrated in several battles, but the baby city stuck to it. Whenever the situation is critical and the city will fall, the defenders will declare their surrender. Because Emperor Yang-ti ordered before going out to war: "All military advances and stops must be heard and reported, and no one should specialize in it." "If Korea falls, it should be accommodated, and no soldiers should be stationed." Therefore, the generals had to stop attacking and send someone to report to Emperor Yangdi. When Yang-ti's decree was sent back to the army, Koguryo's defenders had reinforced the city, and the defense adjustment was completed, that is, they refused to surrender, so Sui Jun had to start siege again. If so, Yang-ti still didn't wake up, which made Liaodong city impregnable for a long time. The Sui army has been under siege for a long time, and its morale and combat effectiveness have been greatly reduced.

On June 11th, Emperor Yangdi personally went to the south of Liaodong to watch the battle, reprimanded the generals for refusing to work, personally supervised the armies to continue the siege, and ordered Yuwen Shu, General Yu Zhongwen of You Yiwei, General Jing Yuanheng of Zuo Xiaowei, General Xue Shixiong of You Yiwei, General Xin Shixiong of Zuo Tunwei, General Zhang Jin of Right Yuwei, General Zhao Xiaocai of Right Wuhou, and Governor Zuo Wuwei of Zhuojun to check the school. When Yuwen Shu and other nine armies set out from Huaiyuan and Luhe towns, they made all the soldiers carry a hundred days' provisions, plus armor, clothing, weapons, fire curtains and other equipment, and each of them had to bear more than three stones, which was unbearable. Soldiers dare not violate the order of "those who abandon rice and millet will be beheaded". When camping at night, they dig holes and bury them in the tent. By the time the No.9 Army came halfway, there was little food and grass left. Yuwen Shu wants to return to the division, and there are many similarities and differences among the generals. Yuwen Shu is not sure about the mind of Emperor Yangdi, and he is hesitant.

At that time, Koguryo Minister Yi Zhiwen De came to cheat and surrender. Before going to war, Yuwen Shu and Yu Zhongwen had received a secret order to seize Wende, and they were going to detain him. However, Yu Zhongwen and others listened to the words of Shangshu Youcheng Liu Shilong, and let go of the second Wende. Then they went back on their word and were afraid of Yang-ti's blame, so they decided to chase the second Wende with elite, so that they could make contributions. Yuwen Shu strongly disagreed. Yu Zhongwen said angrily, "A general can fight a hundred thousand people, but he can't break a thief. How can he see the emperor! Moreover, Zhong Wen's trip is also futile. " Yuwen Shu also snapped: "Why do you know how to do nothing?" Yu Zhongwen added, "In the past, Zhou Yafu was a general, but the military capacity of the son of heaven remained unchanged. It's up to one person, so it's successful. Today, everyone has his own heart, so why go to the enemy? " At the beginning, because Yu Zhongwen was good at strategy, Emperor Yangdi sent him to consult the armies, so he made this statement. When Yuwen Shu heard this, he felt uneasy and had to follow it. Sui Jun crossed the Yalu River.

Seeing that Sui Jun's soldiers looked hungry, Wende of Branch B continued to adopt the tactics of exhausting the enemy. Every time Sui Jun was at war, he retreated at the touch of a button, which enabled the Sui army to win seven small victories in one day. Confused by the temporary victory, Sui Jun was lured across Sashui (now Qingchuan River in North Korea) by Koguryo Army, and went deep into the place only 3 miles away from Pyongyang, relying on the mountains as the camp.

Wende of Branch B sent an envoy to surrender falsely, claiming: "If you spin a teacher, you should be in the office of Gao Yuan Dynasty.". Yuwen Shu, in view of the soldiers' extreme fatigue, could not fight again, and the city of Pyongyang was too dangerous to attack, so he cheated and promised to return to the division. Sui Jun, who retreated, marched in a phalanx and was constantly attacked by Koguryo troops on all sides along the way, so he had to fight and retreat. On July 24th, when we went to Sashui, Goguryeo's army took a half-crossing in Sui Jun, that is, they stormed the rear army. Xin Shixiong, who served as a defender, died in battle, and the rest of the troops all collapsed and fled in haste. Goguryeo army pursued them, and Yuwen Shu retreated to Liaodong City. It is said that there are only 2,7 people left, and all materials and equipment were lost. Seeing that the tide had gone, Emperor Yangdi led his troops to retreat on July 25th. The escort navy, which was on standby in the waters near Pyongyang, also hurried back from the sea. Therefore, the second attack was defeated, and Emperor Yangdi was furious, so he put Yuwen Shu in prison. Yuwen Shu was favored by Emperor Yangdi at ordinary times, and his son Yu Wenshi married Princess Nanyang, the daughter of Emperor Yangdi, so Emperor Yangdi could not bear to kill Yuwen Shu. In November, Emperor Yangdi expelled Yuwen Shu and Yu Zhongwen from the people and beheaded Liu Shilong to thank the world.

Emperor Yangdi was not willing to fail in the first expedition to Goguryeo. In the first month of the ninth year of Daye (613), he issued a decree to recruit soldiers from all over the world to gather in Zhuojun County, and recruited people as Xiao Guo, led by Lang generals such as Zhe Chong, Guo Yi, Wu Neng and Xiong Wu. And ordered Wei Xuan, the minister of punishments, to assist Yang You, the generation king, to stay in Xijing Chang 'an. In order to send an effective general to Koguryo, Emperor Yangdi issued a letter in February, restoring Yuwen Shu to his post and waiting for him as before. Zhao Yu said: "Yuwen Shu failed to continue with soldiers and food, so he fell into Julian Waghann; It is the crime that the military officials lost their materials, which is not stated. It is appropriate to reply to their official titles. " Soon after, he added the third division of Kaifu Instrument.

On the fourth day of March, Emperor Yangdi set out from Luoyang and once again made a personal expedition to Koguryo. Go to Liyang (
