Korea
This historical regime, you will find very interesting, why?
It passed through China from the founding of the country in 918 to the destruction of the country in 1392
Five Dynasties, Liao, Jin, Song, Yuan, Ming
Several dynasties. In the face of many disputes, it actually stood firm and survived for more than 400 years, and I really have to admire their excellent survivability.
Today, penman will share with you about Koryo and
Khitan
Relationship entanglement. After reading this, you will deeply appreciate xiaoqiang's way of survival.
The founding of Goryeo was very close to the Khitan dynasty, which was only 2 years before Goryeo in 916 AD, and it stands to reason that Goryeo should not fear such a regime.
But the problem was: at that time, the central plains were full of wars, and Goryeo could not find an image
Datang
Such a big tree can be relied upon, and for such a strong neighbor as the Khitans, out of self-preservation, it has to temporarily submit to the Khitans.
The Khitan were busy sweeping the desert and attacking
Bohai State
Southward through the Central Plains, who had the heart to take care of such a remote and small country as Goryeo, he accepted goryeo's overtures along the water, and the two families lived in peace.
Can Goryeo Taejo
Wang Jian
This man was very ambitious, and he did not want the bohai state to be swallowed up by the Khitan alone, so he did everything possible to make a mistake behind his back, accept refugees who had escaped from the Bohai country, and provide refuge for the Bohai nobles. This greatly made the Khitan angry, but considering that the strategic center of gravity was in the Central Plains, the Khitan endured.
It just so happened that the Khitan experienced Taizu
Apao machine
The death of the, internal chaos, plus
Shi Jingyao
A series of events such as the cession of the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun" left the Khitan completely caught up in the melee in the Central Plains, and there was no time to take care of Goryeo, who became more and more bold and fat, and brazenly competed for the homeland of bohai (the ancestor of the Jurchens).

It's from here) comes from.
Great Song
After its establishment, Goryeo suddenly gained confidence and immediately threw a hug to Song and leaned over this big tree.
Song Taizong
"Yongxi Northern Expedition", agreed that Goryeo would face from the east

(Khitan has been renamed) to attack. Goryeo verbally promised to be cheerful, but he did not do it for a long time, but in fact he was waiting and seeing. It's like back then

Yongxi Northern Expedition
After the failure, Liao Teng came out and began to settle accounts with Goryeo, which is it
The First Liao-Goryeo War
。
Needless to say, as soon as the Liao army arrived, Goryeo suddenly softened, and finally ended up with a vassal and a peacemaker, and swore to sever relations with Song. In view of the fact that Goryeo was so obedient, Liao also gave part of the Bohai homeland to Goryeo until now (belonging to Korea).
This is Xiao Qiang's way of survival, in fact, Goryeo still maintains contact with Song behind his back.
Liao turned around and returned to continue the war with Song, and as a result, both sides were exhausted, and finally signed a hundred-year good union.
The Alliance of the Abyss
。 Song and Liao were fine, and Goryeo was about to be unlucky.
Within a few years, there was a mutiny in Goryeo, and liao took the opportunity to send troops to Goryeo, and this is it
The Second Liao-Goryeo War
With 400,000 Liao troops and 300,000 Goryeo troops, the Liao army made a long-distance attack and directly captured the goryeo capital of Kaijing (present-day Kaesong, Korea), and the king of Goryeo fled.
Seeing that Goryeo was about to suffer, at the critical moment, the Liao army was careless, was secretly attacked by the Goryeo army, and the battle line was stretched too long, and finally forced to retreat, Goryeo was able to escape the disaster.
But the Liao did not stop there, but vigorously strengthened its strategic reserves on the border in the hope of making a comeback.
Goryeo was intimidated by the positive situation in Liao and constantly sent emissaries to repair bilateral relations. Liao was also clever and asked the King of Goryeo to personally meet the Liao Dynasty. How dare the king of Goryeo? As a result, the two sides dispersed unhappily, and finally, Liao once again used force against Goryeo on the pretext of returning to the Bohai sea. That's it
The Third Liao-Goryeo War
As usual, the Liao army was always able to break through the initial situation and fight the Goryeo in all directions, but as soon as the war fell into a stalemate, the Liao army began to make mistakes, and in the end it was counter-attacked by the Goryeo army and returned to the division. I have to say that the tenacity of Goryeo is the key to their survival, and touching fish in muddy waters is just forced by the situation.
The matter was not over, and Liao was not willing to accept defeat and prepared for the whole army to fight again. Goryeo's mood was like a roller coaster, and before it could celebrate the victory, it had to think about what to do next.
Goryeo also had self-knowledge, and when it saw the good, it would accept it, and when it won the battle, it also bowed its head and asked the Liao to pay tribute to the Chenna. Liao weighed the pros and cons, coupled with reaching out and not hitting the smiley face man, Goryeo once again escaped the disaster.
What do you think? The story of Goryeo and Liao is still wonderful, right? And not yet, there are gold and Mongolia.
