Li Zhi left, not only left Baozhou, but also completely left Goryeo. Because Goryeo did not listen to the dissuasion of the Song Dynasty, he was determined to send troops to attack the Liao Kingdom and wanted to expand his sphere of influence to the west side of the Yalu River, which made Song Dynasty very dissatisfied. For this reason, not only recovered the assistance to Goryeo, but also withdrew the envoys to the station.

However, even so, it still failed to dispel Goryeo's determination. In fact, as Li Zhi observed, the entire Goryeo has fallen into a kind of fanaticism. As a small country, they have been living in the shadow of the Liao Kingdom, and are always worried that the Liao army will kill them and kill their country and massacre their people. In fact, the Liao Kingdom has entered Goryeo more than once, and countless Goryeo people died tragically under the iron hoofs of the Liao people.

But now they not only defeated the Liao army, but also recovered the lost land, especially the rumor about the decline of the Liao Kingdom, which made them feel that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and even recreated the glory of Goguryeo back then.

It may be difficult for outsiders to understand the fanaticism of the Goryeo people, but in fact, if you sacrifice yourself, you will think about it. The Goryeo people are like a small man who is usually bullied. But one day, the big man who bullied him fell ill and was easily defeated by him. This will definitely make the small man extremely confident. All the resentment accumulated in the past burst out suddenly, so naturally he will have to revenge twice and return all the humiliation he had suffered before.

On the third day after Li Zhi left, with the order of King Wang Heng of Goryeo, a 100,000 Koryeo army crossed the Yalu River with great courage and rushed to Tokyo, one of the kings of Liao. The Dayanlin Rebellion broke out here, causing the entire city to be destroyed by war. Although it was rebuilt, it was still sparsely populated and the garrison was transferred, so the Goryeo people thought they could easily conquer Tokyo.

However, the reality is very cruel. Just as the army of the Goryeo people had just reached the city of Tokyo, they did not expect that tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry suddenly appeared in Tokyo, and one charge killed the Goryeo people's army to pieces. Then, 100,000 Khitan cavalry were pressed on the ground by the Khitan cavalry, and in the end they could escape back to Jiangdong. After all, not all the troops crossing the Yalu River can be compared with the volunteer army in later generations.

The Goryeo people were defeated too quickly. In addition to underestimating the enemy, the Liao army's raid also took a great advantage. This was mainly because the Goryeo people did not expect that there were so many cavalry stationed in the Liao Dynasty. According to the situation they had obtained before, there were only 5,000 garrisons in the Tokyo city, so they were very sure to attack Tokyo with twenty times the strength.

However, all this came too suddenly. For a small country like Goryeo, the 100,000 troops almost threw out the whole country's strength, but they were lost all the time. What made the Goryeo people even more frightened was that after the Liao army destroyed their army, they did not stop. Instead, they crossed the Yalu River along the floating bridge and recovered the lost six prefectures in Jiangdong as quickly as possible.

Wang Heng, who was originally staying in Baozhou, also fled back quickly. The poor Goryeo people captured Baozhou for a few years, and they were not even warmed up in their hands, but they returned it. Moreover, the Liao army did not stop in Baozhou and other places. Instead, they chased Wang Heng and his lords and ministers all the way. A month later, they finally arrived at the capital of Koryeo.

As the capital of Goryeo, Kaijing was once under the reign of Wang Heng's father Wang Xun, that is, when the Second Khitan Goryeo War broke out in history, Kaijing was once broken by the Liao army. It was a bit strange. Kaijing was the capital of Goryeo, but there was no city wall before, so there was no way to defend against the Liao army. As a result, it was easily penetrated by the Liao army, and the entire Kaijing was also caught in a fire of war. In the end, the Khitans plundered Kaijing and then set off a big fire. Then the troops returned to the court.

With the lesson from last time, the Goryeo people specially built a thick city wall for Kaijing when they rebuilt Kaijing. So when the Liao army reached the city of Kaijing this time, they were temporarily blocked by the Goryeo people. After all, although the elite of the Goryeo people died at the city of Tokyo, the capital still had a lot of troops stationed. With the tall city walls, these garrisons were all cavalry who were not good at siegeing the city, so it was naturally difficult to capture this place for a while.

If it were in the past, the Liao army might not have been delayed too long in Goryeo. After all, Goryeo did not have the value of occupation. Moreover, when they reached Kaijing, the front line in the rear had been stretched for a long time. If there were Goryeo people making trouble behind the scenes, they would probably destroy their supply line. Therefore, when the Liao army attacked and opened the capital, they just plundered and left. Even when they encountered tenacious resistance in Goryeo Xijing, they directly bypassed Xijing, which could also give full play to the greatest advantage of the Khitan cavalry.

However, this time the Liao army seemed to be determined to conquer Kaijing and even destroy Goryeo. So in the face of the resistance of the Goryeo people, the Liao army not only did not retreat, but instead launched a more fierce attack on Kaijing. The Goryeo people also knew that they had reached a time of life and death, so the defense was very determined, and the two sides actually stood up for a moment.

In Tokyo Bianliang, when Zhao Zhen told Li Zhang about the news of the Liao army's attack on Goryeo, Li Zhang also showed a surprised expression. He was not surprised that Goryeo was defeated. In fact, they had already expected the end of Goryeo's disastrous defeat long before Goryeo decided to send troops. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how weak the Liao Kingdom is, it is not something that a small country like Goryeo should covet. However, the Goryeo people were stunned by victory, and even felt a sense of arrogance, thinking that the Liao Kingdom was just like this, so they ended up giving the heads of a hundred thousand troops.

However, Li Zhang did not expect that the Liao army would fight until the capital, and he acted as if he would not return until he broke through the capital. This was a bit surprising. After all, the situation in the Liao Kingdom is not very good now, and the internal situation has not been stable. Now he is sending troops to fight against Goryeo. Even if he wins, he will probably consume a lot of strength.

"Cousin, I discussed the matter between Goryeo and Lu Xiang and the others, and finally agreed that the Liao Kingdom might feel the crisis around it, so I want to solve Goryeo first so that I can concentrate on responding to our threats." Zhao Zhen said at this time.

"It is very likely that our army is in the west and south of the Liao Kingdom, and the Jurchens in the north are not worry-free. In contrast, only the Goryeo people in the east are the easiest to deal with. If they destroy the Goryeo people, there will be one less threat." Li Zhang also showed a sudden expression when he heard this.

"Then should we help Gaoli?" Zhao Zhen asked immediately. Although Gaoli did not listen to their advice before, it was useful to the Song Dynasty. If it was seen that Gaoli was destroyed now, it would not be in the interests of the Song Dynasty.
