100 – Inflection Point (1)

It’s morning. After finishing my preparations, I left for Yangyang with a horse and a woman.

“hehehe, am I right?”

After a long conversation last night, Gahu spoke to me.

“I know.”

And I also stopped talking. Even though Gahu is much older than me, he got angry and said he didn’t want to be treated with respect by me.

“How do you convince the general?”

“You just need to prepare a place for me. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Gafu laughed, licking his lips with his tongue.

She wrapped her arms around my waist and squeezed her body with great force.

“Didn’t you just think it was strange that I might try to persuade Yupyo with my tongue?”

“It would be a lie if I said I didn’t.”

“I don’t. I have eyes to see too.”

Gafu smiled heartily and buried his face towards me.

“It was good to hear Mr. Hwang’s story. He said that everything will work out well when he meets you, and it seems like everything will turn out really easily.”

“Adoptive father?”

“Yes. Master Hwang Seung-eon. I met you a long time ago when I was in Changan. Where are you now?”

“I don’t know either.”

According to the rumor, something is being done in Gangdong, but I am not sure.

okay.

According to rumors, they are organizing a private army to help Sun Ce.

He’s a really strange guy.

The soldiers who follow him are also really strange people.

Wouldn’t it be correct to view them as beings raised for Sun Ce rather than private soldiers of the imperial family?

‘Why Sun Ce?’

I really doubt it.

The fact that Hwang Seung-eon started helping someone must mean that he has great future value, but no matter how much I thought about it, I never thought that Sun Ce would become very successful.

He’s just a servant of Wonsul.

“What are you thinking like that?”

“Thoughts of heaven.”

“That’s fun. Instead of doing it alone, why don’t you do it with me?”

“If I work with you, I will definitely learn how to live well.”

They are desperate to find a way for each other to survive.

but… .

“I don’t think they’ll hit me on the back later for something we discussed while I was there.”

“Oh, really?”

“If a situation comes where you have to abandon me to save your life, what will you do?”

“Well, let’s see how it goes, right?”

Look at this.

The very fact that I say that I am looking at the situation means that my wife cares more about her own safety than her loyalty to me.

“The same goes for you.”

“Of course.”

“If you had already been fighting with Jangsu-gun and Yupyo-gun, you would have proposed to Jangsu-gun that you take me as a hostage and collect the hostage’s release money from Jangsu-gun.”

“I’m a civilian?”

“If you were in Yupyo-gun.”

“…….”

Surely, if I were Yoo Pyo-gun’s agent, I would have made such a suggestion.

Gahu’s ability was sufficiently proven by her survival between Lee Gak and Gwaksa, and if she existed as the head of Jangsugun, it could have been a significant problem.

The same goes for Jojo.

“If Cao Cao’s army is going to fight, what are you really going to do then?”

“The situation will change depending on the direction of the alliance with Yupyo’s army.”

“What are you planning?”

“If Jangsu-gun fights alone, he can be stopped, but if Yupyo-gun helps him, he can win.”

“You are very confident.”

“Of course. Do you know what is most important to a strategist and a general on the battlefield?”

Gafu tapped my temple with his index finger.

“It’s the head. The staff must plan a strategy that will help the general win, and the general must have the brains to accept and accept the commands and instructions from the staff. No matter how good a plan you come up with, if you don’t listen, what good is it?”

“Hmm, it sounds like something from experience.”

“Of course it’s an experience. What would you do if you had the best dance in the world? Even though you know it’s a trap, you take your troops alone and chase them all down.”

“…Is this perhaps Lu Bu’s story?”

“uh.”

Gafu shook his head as if he was disgusted.

“After killing Dong Zhuo, if Lü Bu had listened to me, he would have become a real general by now. The Emperor would not have been with Cao Cao, and he would have been reorganizing the forces of Chang’an and Xiliang and marching east.”

“But Lu Bu was defeated by Lee Gak and Gwak Sa. …Perhaps you?”

“hehehe.”

Gafu’s low laughter was heard from behind.

“I can’t work with someone who doesn’t listen to me. I’d rather have a leader who understands, trusts, and follows my strategies and tactics than a general who doesn’t listen to me.”

“Because Lu Bu did not listen and lived out of his own pride, he pretended to reach out to Yi Gak and Gwak Sa and saved their lives!”

“Yes. If it weren’t for that grace, how could I have survived between them? It’s not because I taught them how to survive.”

“Thanks to that, the people of Jangan, the emperor and civil servants suffered from the exploitation of Lee Gak and Gwaksa?”

“Lee Gak and Kwaksa are bad guys, but I didn’t do anything wrong, right? I did my best.”

There was no use being sarcastic or ridiculing the family.

“So does this mean that the general listens to you?”

“Okay then. If Cao Cao accepts surrender, it will go smoothly, or we will have to somehow get reinforcements from Liu Biao and attack Cao Cao.”

“Yupyo wouldn’t take that kind of risk.”

“It’s my job to convince you of that. It’s okay. The logic is ready.”

“Jopaewang Maengdeok?”

“Yeah! That’s it.”

King Jopae.

In the Chuhan Dynasty, there was King Xiang Yu, and in today’s era, there is King Meng Deok of Cao Pai.

Just as Xiang Yu trampled everyone who was in his sight with his war horse, many people are worried that Cao Cao will go around swinging his fists at everyone, regardless of whether they are allies or not.

“But while we’re going like this, won’t Cao Cao arrive at Wan first?”

“It’s okay. There’s plenty of time to go on horseback.”

Gahu said, the movements of the military and the movements of individuals are different.

I have also experienced moving five hundred and two thousand soldiers, but I did not really understand what Ga Hu said.

“You know this because you too have been chased by Emperor Zhang.”

“Is it okay to talk about someone almost dying so easily?”

“It’s okay because he didn’t die, right? It’s okay because he killed Jangje, right?”

“If anyone hears it, they will think that you are not the strategist of Emperor Zhang’s successor.”

“I am the general’s advisor, not the general’s advisor. So, how was your day?”

“…I almost had to pee myself.”

That day, when Emperor Zhang was chasing him through the snow, the army ran quickly as if some animal was chasing him.

“I thought I was being chased by some kind of possessed animal.”

“Isn’t it true that you are being chased by an animal? A war horse is running towards you.”

“…Words are beasts, but metaphorical expressions are like that. Is this a joke from a high-ranking official? hahahaha.”

“Usually, the bigger the work, the more jokes you can make.”

Gahu’s next words were shocking in themselves.

“When someone in power makes a joke, even the dullest thing becomes funny.”

“Hoo.”

“Of course, this also has to be done while looking at people. hahahaha, you can’t even joke if you don’t have the eyes to see people. You have to be able to distinguish between time and place so you don’t lose your head easily.”

Gafu continued to giggle and point ahead.

“We’re already there. Then…Geum-gong, shall we get serious from now on?”

Gafu’s voice had already calmed down.

“I want you to guide me to Yu Gyeong-seung, Geum-gong.”

“…….”

Suddenly, a shiver ran down my spine.

“Why are you doing this?”

“no.”

I felt a sense of déjà vu and my mouth went dry.

“The man who said he was going to die yesterday suddenly became like this-”

puck.

“Shut up.”

“…Grunt.”

The area where I was hit was more painful than I thought and I felt like I was going to die.

lunch.

At Mrs. Chae’s request, Yoo Pyo briefly came out to the meal separately from the Chae family.

But the atmosphere was unusual.

The wife, holding the child, was eating alone with her and seemed to be hoping to finish the meal quickly. Yupyo finished the meal as quickly as possible and placed tea in front of them.

“What’s wrong?”

“…Someone came from Wan.”

“Wan? Oh my.”

Yupyo immediately frowned at the word human.

“…Ask them to come in first.”

“yes.”

There was no need for Saddam.

This is just an informal meeting.

The reason that Mrs. Chae arranged a separate meeting with the Chae family was probably because the Chae family judged that there would be no major problems in connecting with Wan.

Yupyo didn’t like that very much, but… .

“No, you…?!”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Yusa.”

“No, Mr. Jasa. Please speak lower.”

Yupyo quickly showed courtesy.

“Aren’t you Godfather Gwangrok?”

“Now I am just a wild man and a woman.”

“…How could I treat someone so carelessly who was able to ascend to the throne on his own?”

The woman, Gafu, smiled brightly but bowed deeply.

“I am just a person who has lived looking after his own interests amidst the country’s difficulties. What can compare to the virtue of Yu Gyeong-seung, who survived truly difficult times and made Jingzhou the most peaceful land in the world?”

“No, but….”

Yupyo remained silent.

He wants Gahu to humble himself, but if he elevates Gahu any further, it will be more difficult for Gahu.

“…Hey, honey. Are you such a great person?”

Mrs. Chae asked cautiously.

“Didn’t you bring it here?”

“Nephew Hwang….”

“The sun? Huh.”

Yupyo felt a chill down his spine.

If the meeting was arranged by ‘Geumtaeyang’ and no one else, meeting Gafu was more important to him than anyone else.

“…Okay, let’s be honest. What brought you here?”

“I would like to form an alliance with General Jangsu.”

“Alliance? That’s difficult. As you know, the general plundered the northern part of Jingju the other day-”

“Mr. Jasa.”

Gafu’s eyes were bent like half moons.

“Would you like to have a word with me for a moment?”

“War of words?”

“Yes. The topic is… if Cao Cao wants to follow the path of becoming the ultimate king, how should we deal with it?”

Yu Pyo and Jang Su secretly conclude an alliance against Cao Cao.
