Background
King Chaekgye of Baekje took a princess of the Daifang Commandery as his queen. Around this time, when Goguryeo attacked the Daifang Commandery, Baekje came to the aid of the Daifang Commandery, and Goguryeo came to hold a grudge against Baekje. Goguryeo attacked Baekje twice, but Baekje withstood the attacks and went on to attack the Pyongyang Fortress of Goguryeo. An army of 30,000 under King Geunchogo attacked the Pyongyang Fortress, and in this battle King Gogugwon was killed and Baekje won the victory.
