Abstract

The Chinese Dynasties of Su(隋) and Tang(唐) had invaded Goguryo(高句麗) with the large scale of forces. The dynasties of Su(隋) and Tang(唐) used waterway of the Daedong river(大同江) as a maneuver route. Naehoa(來護兒) of Su dynasty and Sojeongbang(蘇定方) of Tang dynasty led the navy and came into the Daedong river. Naehoa fought against Goguryo army in the area where was located 60ri(里) away from the Pyongyang(平壤). Sojeongbang fought against Goguryo army in the Maeupsan(馬邑山). The place, where Naehoa and Sojeongbang fought against Goguryo army, is going to be same. But its location isnt clear. A research result as the Maeupsan has gone out of the location of the Seohaksan(捿鶴山). This Location is placed in the smallest waterway in the Daedonggang. Su dynasty and Tang dynasty battled with Goguryo army here. The Maeupsan is a important place in the side of Goguryo from the military point of view.
