Chapter 1329 Khitan Raid

As the largest fortress in the north, Pyongyang City quickly spread to Kaijing once it was lost.

The distance between the two cities is no more than five hundred miles.

In an instant, the whole city of Kaijing was in a panic.

You should know that Kaicheng is a low-lying plain area. What we value most is that the land here is fertile and close to the seaside, so it is the capital of Goryeo.

When Pyongyang came, the door to open Beijing was almost wide open.

The nobles were the first to learn about the siege of Pyongyang, and immediately took their families to leave Kaijing.

An important official like Shuangji asked his family to leave first and stay with him to accompany the king.

As soon as he received the news of the fall of Pyongyang, he immediately came to the palace as if he had lost his parents and asked to see the king.

After Pyongyang was besieged and lost, a large number of people naturally knew about it for several days and ran very fast.

At noon, when Shuangji went to the palace, he found that the street was deserted and deserted, as if it was empty.

At this time, only two hours passed since I got the news.

"well!"

Sighing, Shuangji entered the palace.

Because he has always coveted the territory north of the Yalu River, Goryeo and Khitan have a lot of friction, often losing more than winning less, and it is a victory that comes from defending the city.

In this case, Goryeo suffered from a great Khitan phobia, but also, due to the Tang Dynasty, they were very coveted and greedily wanted to defeat the Khitans - relying on the power of the Tang people.

In this case, without the support of the Tang army, coupled with the fall of Pyongyang, the entire Goryeo Kingdom immediately fell into panic.

This kind of panic is like the Northern Song Dynasty in history who feared Liao. Even though the Western Xia was about to be destroyed, the Khitans were forced to retreat after a few words.

Once the Khitan envoys came to Kaifeng, they would be rampant and the people would be in vain and they could not afford to provoke them.

As Shuangji walked along the way, he didn't see many palace maids. The palace was empty and almost all the gold, silver and jewelry disappeared.

It’s nothing, because when Wang Zhao was besieged in Pyongyang, he had already packed his luggage and was about to leave Kaijing.

When Shuangji arrived, I saw the king Wang Zhao sitting high, with about a hundred people sitting on both sides, basically two Han nobles were halfway.

But you should know that Han officials are far from a few nobles.

As a result, Wang Zhao's face became even more ugly.

Not only because of the situation, but also because of such a nobleman is too unreasonable.

The topic that everyone discussed was naturally a hunting tour.

This is an inevitable choice.

However, there is a debate on where the tour is going.

Most of the two nobles tend to go to Jeju Island, which is the southernmost and safest.

The Han officials thought they were going to Jianghua Island.

The reason is naturally that Jianghua Island is close to Kaijing, but due to the reef, it is difficult to move forward. The Khitans have no ships and can only be helpless.

More importantly, Jianghua Island is very close to Goryeo, and the court can command the people to fight at close range.

Two classes of nobles and the people in those places that had no time to escape would definitely resist bravely.

At that time, you can counterattack nearby and you can move the capital back at any time.

Of course, Jianghua Island has great disadvantages.

After all, it is too young to support many people.

There are tens of thousands of officials, army, nobles, royal families.

The Goryeo court must not perish, otherwise the Khitans would take advantage.

The arrival of Shuangji has attracted everyone's attention.

He is Wang Zhao's confidant, and he is definitely confidant.

"You can't go to Jeju!" Shuangji sat down and said in a deep voice.

“Jianghua Island is too small—”

"Who knows if the Khitans have a way..."

Faced with this, everyone started to make noise again.

Shuangji shook his head and said, "Everyone, judging from the current situation, the Khitans may only have half a day to arrive in Kaijing."

Everyone was startled.

Then Wang Zhao said in a deep voice: "Go to Jianghua Island!"

After the final conclusion, Wang Zhao couldn't wait to get on the carriage, and the ministers followed closely, dozens of carriages were waiting for a long time.

I soon left the capital and then arrived at the wharf.

The skilled fisherman was fucking the boat, carefully avoiding the reefs, passing through the reeds, and coming to Jianghua Island.

After arriving on the island, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The local officials on the island have temporarily built a residence.

As for other troops, officials, nobles, and people, they temporarily lived on other islands, Jianghua Island could only accommodate the Goryeo court.

Wang Zhao moved into a relatively neat house and sat on the couch. He gasped and whispered: "I still don't understand why the Khitan went south, but there was no sound at all."

"Master, I'm afraid the Khitans should see that we are too close to the Tang people!"

"The Khitan lacks food, so he wants to plunder us to restore our vitality-"

Everyone was worried for a long time before they recovered.

"Master, it's no longer important to investigate the reason!" Shuang Ji was breathing. He was old and his health was a little worse.

However, his eyes were still bright and bright: "The Tang Dynasty is our sect leader. If there is a problem with the vassal state, how can we not help?"

"I also ask the lord to send a letter to the country and beg for reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty!"

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Can this still be done?

All civil and military officials, including Wang Zhao, were shocked.

In their opinion, the Sect Master and the vassal state are just to pay money to save their lives. Why does the Sect Master still have the obligation to protect?

"Your family, tell me carefully!" Wang Zhao said hurriedly.

"Master, since ancient times, even if the sect leader has gained fame and fortune, he also has the obligation to protect. For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period of China, Qi dominated, defended, and Yan was threatened by barbarians or destroyed the country. Qi spared no effort to help, just because of a prince."

"Now, the Tang Dynasty is in the world and is the leader of all countries. We have collected our annual offerings and we must protect our country."

"The vast world is not just Goryeo, Bohai Kingdom, Japan, Dali Kingdom, etc., all of them are watching!"

As soon as everyone said this, it was obvious.

There was a slight bloody look on Wang Zhao's face, and he couldn't help but say, "This is the reason. If you sit still, how can the Tang Dynasty face? How to face other countries?"

The two classes of nobles and officials agreed, and they finally gained some confidence.

With the support of the Tang Dynasty, the restoration of the capital was just around the corner.

In this way, the small court on Jianghua Island finally officially started to operate, and the hunting place also looked a little bit.

At this time, the small court moved to Jianghua Island. In just two days, a fierce cavalry came outside Kaijing.

At this time, only five days have passed since Pyongyang was surrounded and the city has been broken by less than three days.

When Yelu Xiu Ge quickly rushed to Kaijing, only an empty city was left.

He waved the whip and couldn't help but snorted coldly: "King Goryeo runs fast. If it weren't for the delay in food and grass, he would have captured him alive!"

"General, what should we do when King Goryeo went to Jianghua Island?"

"What should I do? Let's burn the capital first!"
