The Sui Dynasty ruled for about 40 years, but accomplished many things in this time period. Their original ruler was Wendi, but when he died, his heir Yang Di took over and reached many achievements. One of his biggest achievements was conquering the Chen Dynasty. This wasn’t an easy task for him, but his intelligence and background on military issues let him create unique strategies. His main strategy was dividing his army into 5 groups and invading from different sides. Yang Di also had another accomplishment through the military in which he invaded the Tujue’s. Since he was praised and loved for invading the Chen dynasty successfully, people had faith in him that he could conquer many more dynasties to go on. When he invaded the Tujue dynasty, he not only conquered their land, but he was able to kill their chief commander. A huge case in this time period, the commander or emperor would escape the invasion and build another dynasty or rebel in some way. Luckily, Yang Di was able to kill the commander and was able to lead the Sui to a great accomplishment. Yang Di was able to unite China and build a good foundation for future dynasties. Ultimately, Sui’s emperor Yang Di was an essential element of the successes of the Sui dynasty and his accomplishments in the military were outstanding.
