In the first episode, which announces the beginning of the long journey, we go back to the day when the bad relationship between Goryeo and the Khitan began.

50 years before the war, the Khitan sent 30 envoys and 50 camels as a gift to make peace with Goryeo.

The Khitan envoy was exiled to an island, and 50 camels were tied under a bridge and starved to death.

What was Wang Geon’s intention after starving the camel to death?

Announcer Kim Jong-hyun rode a camel as if he were an envoy from the Khitan a thousand years ago and spent an exciting day with the camel.

The Song requested reinforcements to defeat the Khitan, and the Khitan requested peace.

The detailed story can be found in KBS 1TV's "History Journal Episode 438, 'Goryeo Khitan War ① - Wang Geon Who Killed the Camel'" on December 24th at 9:40 p.m.
