By the time Cui Jianjiang realized that he had been deceived, Gai Yanxiao's forward was only two days away from Kaesong. At this time, he remembered Cheng Yun's correct judgment, and hurriedly summoned Cheng Yun to ask about countermeasures.

Chengyun is suffering words. As a guest general of Goryeo, he was never valued among Goryeo's generals, and the only exception was the late Goryeo commander Lu Xuan. In order to repay Lu Xuan's kindness, he resolutely accepted Lu Xuan's entrustment to take on the burden of reviving Goryeo. However, Choi Jianjiang, the king of Goryeo, did not trust Cheng Yun, although the courtesy on the surface was very thoughtful, but Cheng Yun understood that Cui Jianjiang's heart was defensive about himself everywhere. This time, Cui Jianjiang ignored his advice and sent troops to rescue the Pingshan front, and finally fell into the trap of the country of silk is a good proof. Cheng Yun couldn't say anything about this, because no matter what he did, Cui Jianjiang would increase his distrust of himself. But now that the catastrophe is coming, Cui Jianjiang has asked himself again, and to be honest, Chengyun has no choice.

At present, the main force of the Goryeo army is pinned down in Pingshan, and the coastal defense line is inexplicably lost, even if the defeated troops who fled back there are organized, it will be very difficult for the forces of Kaesong to block the attack of the country of Juan, if the main force of Pingshan is withdrawn at this time, then Hua Meng will definitely follow behind in pursuit, and when the time comes, not to mention that Pingshan will be lost, even this army is in danger of being defeated.

If the troops deployed in Gangwon Province in the east were to be redeployed, it would be difficult to quench the thirst of the distant waters, and second, it would be difficult to guarantee that the enemy would not take the opportunity to attack Gangwon Province, and once Gangwon Province was lost, the vast southern part of Goryeo would be open to the public.

Cheng Yun is not an immortal, and he doesn't have a magic weapon in his hand that can conjure up troops. At present, the crisis in Kaecheng is cloudy, and he can't come up with a feasible plan. Faced with Cui Jianjiang's inquiry. Cheng Yun had no choice but to put forward what he thought was the most correct countermeasure - to abandon Kaesong.

"Give up Kaesong?!" Cui Jianjiang suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, please listen to the minister. In the current situation, none of our troops can rush to the rescue of Kaesong in time. The enemy forces are already imminent. However, the enemy forces did not form an encirclement posture against Kaesong, and besides, our army in the Pingshan area created a local advantage over the Chinese fierce army. Gai Yanxiaobu will never sit idly by and watch Hua Meng fall into a crisis. So now, if His Majesty gives up on Kaesong and retreats south, Gai Yanxiao does not have enough strength to pursue us, and our army retreats to Xi'ou City first, where the city is stronger than Kaesong, and we can use this distance to gain time, and issue an edict to let the troops of King Qin from all over the country assemble in Xi'ou City and start a decisive battle with the enemy there. ”

"Does Qing mean to give up the 20,000 troops in Pingshan and let them buy time for the widows to escape?"

"Your Majesty, don't misunderstand what your ministers mean. We are retreating, not fleeing. Now if you stay in Kaesong. Then we will be surrounded by enemy troops, and the city defense of Kaesong is indeed strong, but once we are surrounded, we do not have enough troops to break the siege, let alone a leader who can lead reinforcements, so it is only a matter of time before Kaesong falls. At present, we are being calculated by the Silk Country, and it is not easy to reverse this situation, but the fundamental problem of Goryeo is not the gain or loss of one city or one place, but the safety of Your Majesty. As long as His Majesty remains, then we still have a chance to bounce back. On the other hand, once His Majesty is trapped, then who else in Goryeo can raise his arms and call up an army to regain the lost territory? By that time, the enemy army took the opportunity to attack all over the country. If everyone does not have the backbone to support them, Goryeo will not lose a city or a place, and it will be more difficult to reorganize the rivers and mountains. Which is more important. Please also ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”

Cheng Yun's words hit Cui Jianjiang's weakness, and the biggest problem in Goryeo at the moment is that he is the only one left in the royal family. When he left Pyongyang, he still had children, but he did not take them out of Pyongyang. Now he only has two sons, but they are not yet three years old, and without him in Goryeo, then as Chengyun said, everyone will lose their centripetal force.

Seeing that Cui Jianjiang was already moved, Cheng Yun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there is still time to come, Your Majesty has made up your mind a moment earlier, then our army can take away more materials and troops, please make a decision." ”

"Flee without a fight, how do the people of Goryeo view the widow?" Cui Jianjiang gritted his teeth and said.

Cheng Yun listened and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, please relax, please get out of the city as soon as possible, the minister is willing to lead a small number of troops to stay in this city to meet the enemy, and after His Majesty enters the safe area, the minister will abandon this city, and then find an opportunity to lead the friendly army of Pingshan to the West Oucheng." ”

Cui Jianjiang couldn't help but be moved when he heard Cheng Yun's words, and quickly stood up and walked to Cheng Yun to help him up: "Aiqing is really fortunate to have such loyalty, righteousness and courage, so please Aiqing, please fight." ”

"The minister should do his best to repay His Majesty's grace, please prepare quickly!"

The two of them have decided to disagree, and they will not delay any more time, and immediately start to prepare. The soldiers and civilians of Kaesong could not all evacuate, so Cui Jianjiang only took 3,000 guards and some scattered troops, plus all the horses, cattle and as much food and weapons as possible, and left Kaesong in a hurry. Cheng Yun led 2,000 soldiers to continue to defend Kaesong to attract the attention of the Silk Country.

Gai Yanxiao's vanguard troops arrived at Kaesong in the evening of the next day, and Cheng Yun unceremoniously led his soldiers out of the city to intercept and disperse this vanguard force.

Early in the morning of the third day, Gai Yanxiao's army arrived, Cheng Yun closed the city gate and refused to fight, and set up a false flag on the city so that Gai Yanxiao could not judge the situation in the city. Gai Yanxiao really hit the plan and led the soldiers to start attacking the city. The battle was very fierce, and the number of Cheng Yun's troops was too small, and it was very difficult to deploy reasonably, but fortunately, Gai Yanxiao came at the same time and lacked siege equipment, so there was no progress in the first two days of the battle.

Gai Yanxiao was furious at this, and ordered the whole army to rest for one night, and the next day the whole line attacked, vowing to take Kaesong.

Cheng Yun took advantage of the moment when Gai Yanxiao stopped attacking and left Kaesong at night. When Gai Yanxiao was preparing for a full-scale attack the next day, he found that Kaesong had become an empty city, and there was not a single Goryeo soldier to be found except for the people in the city.

Kaesong, the new capital of Goryeo, fell into the hands of the country of silk, but Gai Yanxiao, who won the great achievement of establishing Kaesong, was not happy at all, and a feeling of being played by his opponent lingered in his heart.

Find the traces of the Goryeo Army! This was Gai Yanxiao's death order, and the army of the Silk Country began to search for the traces of the Goryeo army. This was Gai Yanxiao's second mistake, because he ignored the Hua Mengjun who were at a disadvantage at this time because of his momentary resentment, thus leaving a chance for Cheng Yun to rescue Pingshan's friendly forces.
