The Second Goryeo-Khitan War was an 11th-century conflict between the kingdom of Goryeo and the Liao dynasty (the Khitan Empire) near what is now the border between China and North Korea. It was the second of the Goryeo-Khitan Wars, with the First Goryeo-Khitan War occurring in 993, the second in 1010, and the third in 1018. When King Seongjong died in 997, Liao invested his successor Wang Song as king of Goryeo (King Mokjong, r. 997-1009).〔, p.104.〕 In 1009, he was assassinated by the forces of the general Gang Jo.〔, p. 191.〕 Using it as a pretext, the Liao attacked Goryeo in the next year.〔, p. 111: "The Khitan sent an expeditionary army ... to punish the murderer of their former vassal".〕 They lost the first battle but won the second one, and Gang Jo was captured and killed.〔 The Liao occupied and burnt the Goryeo capital Kaesong,〔, p. 95: "a prelude to more invasions during the reign of King Hyonjong (1010-1031) and the occupation of Kaesong, the Koryo capital."〕〔, p. 52: "in the reign of King Hyŏnjong (1010-1031) there were numerous Khitan invasions, and even the capital Kaesŏng was occupied."〕〔, : "In 1010, on the pretext that the rightful king had been deposed without the approval of the Liao court, the Khitan emperor personally led an attack that culminated in the burning of the Goryeo capital."〕 and withdrawal ==See also== *Goryeo–Khitan War * *First conflict in the Goryeo–Khitan War * *Second conflict in the Goryeo–Khitan War * *Third conflict in the Goryeo–Khitan War 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Second conflict in the Goryeo–Khitan War」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
