43 – Second Disciple (5)

winter.

I am having a cold winter.

Specifically, I felt like I was going crazy trying to remain neutral in the midst of a fight between two young children.

“Today, let’s discuss the movements of the world. Today’s topic is… ‘Hebei’.”

I unfolded the map of Hebei that I had obtained from afar.

I roughly laid out the areas of each region and created boundaries by intentionally coloring them.

“The one who occupied the Gizhou area, south of Hebei, was Yuan Shao. And the one who occupied the Bukpyeong area was Gongsun Chan.’

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan.

Hebei was largely divided in half.

“First, I will ask Seo Seo. Is there anyone near Yuan Shao?”

“There is Gongsun Chan.”

“…No, not politely.”

“There are black bandits. The black bandits are a large band of bandits spread throughout the Yellow River region, and they are also present in the Yuan Shao and Yeju areas.”

As he stood, he changed words while looking at the child who was much smaller than him.

Well, there was no need to say the name.

Although there are moments when something needs to be said, it was better not to mention it if it didn’t need to be said or could be said in a different way.

Mainly towards my mental health.

“Yes. Yuan Shao now has to deal with Gongsun Zan and the thieves. In that case, I will ask Sima Yi. What enemies does Gongsun Zan have?”

“There are northern immigrants who are friendly with Yuan Shao, including Yuan Shao.”

“Yes, they are barbarians. Gongsun Zan made his White Horse unit famous, but at the same time, they are always located in the rear and cause concern.”

Gongsun Zan is the enemy of the northern immigrants.

“The Oh-hwan tribe has been a nuisance for a very long time. They have been plundering not only Gizhou but also Cheongju and Western Zhou. Yuu, who is friendly with the Oh-hwan tribe, became docile after becoming the center of Yu-ju’s attention. However.”

fluttering.

“Yuu is dead.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Huh? He’s dead? Isn’t he the one that Yuan Shao was trying to make emperor?”

“Yes. He was the closest to the emperor in terms of personality, virtue, and ability. He was so outstanding that even the imperial family considered him a relative. If only Hebei had not been the place where he settled down, he would have been caught between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. “The land it is in must have enjoyed peace and prosperity. Yes, just like Jingju.”

Hyeongju’s mark.

Yuju’s Yuu.

Although they share the same Yu clan and bloodline from the royal family, their fate ultimately changes depending on who they have around them in these difficult times.

“Yu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan.”

“…are you going to kill me?”

“Yes. They say he was brutally murdered.”

Where did you hear the story of Hebei?

Most of the stories Yupyo heard came to my ears through the Chae family.

Except for military secrets, this is information that will spread over time, so I just teach it first.

“If you look at Gongsun Zan’s victory over Yu Yu in the Battle of Gyekyo even after losing the White Horse Bell, you can see that his military ability is great. Of course, that is different from human nature.”

“It will give Yuan Sha more strength.”

Zhuge Liang, who remained still, made an evaluation.

“A virtuous monarch has been murdered at the hands of thugs, so those under him will go to Yuan Shao for revenge.”

“Yes. A lot of talented people will leave. We don’t know where or how things will turn out after this.”

They call Gongsun Chan a gangster.

It proves that Zhuge Liang’s temperament is definitely not ordinary.

“Then I will ask the three of you: Who do you think will be the loser of Hebei?”

“Elements.”

“It must be an element.”

“It’s an element.”

Stand, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang.

Everyone predicted Yuan Shao’s victory.

“A person who has lost humanity and righteousness cannot rule the world. If it is true that Yu Yu was murdered, no one will want to agree with Gongsun Zan. Yu Yu was Gongsun Zan’s superior. He is also a murderer, but he is considered a subordinate. There’s no way they wouldn’t kill you.”

“From what he has shown so far, Yuan Shao is more capable than Gongsun Zan, so it would be natural for him to win. He was defeated once in Gyejiao as well.”

Stand and follow human duties.

Sima Yi has the ability.

“Liang, what do you think? Why do you think Yuan Shao will be the loser of Hebei?”

“Because they protected their land.”

“…Land?”

Zhuge Liang gave a very different assessment from the two.

“To be specific?”

“This is because Yuan Shao took possession of Hebei, the most fertile host among them, and protected it.”

“…Yes. Yuan Shao joined hands with Gongsun Zan to take away Giju, and the moment Yuan Shao won the next game, the victory and defeat were tilted toward Yuan Shao.”

The actions that Gongsun Chan is showing are madness. It’s a struggle.

These are the words of a person who has lost his mind due to the defeat of Gye-gyo and cannot admit to his own failure.

‘I think I know what it feels like.’

He is the epitome of a person who falls.

Compared to Won Won, there is nothing I am inferior to.

Compared to Elemental, I am greater.

In reality, because Won Soo was on a roll, he became impatient and mad and only shook hands, ultimately suffering a major defeat.

“I also think Yuan Shao will win.”

In this way, the three predicted Yuan Shao’s victory.

“Ryang, but it seems like your answer was a little selfish.”

“Ugh.”

Perhaps because he was still young, he seemed to speak calmly, but the anger inside was visible.

“Didn’t you think that Yuan Shao would win because you didn’t like Gongsun Zan?”

“…It’s not like that. It’s not that I particularly dislike Gongsun Chan. However.”

Zhuge Liang continued speaking with a stern face.

“I just don’t want someone like a golden beast to become the master of the world.”

golden number.

There was no need to ask who he was referring to.

“Then, Liang, what do you think is most necessary for a leader?”

“…People’s hearts.”

Zhuge Liang’s voice was calm.

“I think a true loser must be able to think of the people who will shed a lot of blood at his one word.”

At that time, Cheongju government office.

“hmm….”

Cheongju company, Jeon Hae, received a troubling letter.

“Cheongju is going through a hard time right now, so you’re asking for reinforcements.”

Seoju Jasa and Dogyeom request reinforcements.

Since they were allied with Gongsun Zan, they could not rashly refuse the request for a relief force.

-Please stop Cao Cao’s massacre.

There is a reason.

It is certainly not wrong to send a relief force to prevent Cao Cao’s cruel revenge.

Cheongju was just a stone’s throw away if you advanced directly east from Bogyang, and some of the refugees from Western Zhou immediately took refuge in Cheongju.

On the way, they were attacked by bandits and came up in a very devastated state, but Jeonhae had no choice but to accept them.

And thanks to their vivid testimony, public opinion against reinforcements grew even more.

Voices condemning Cao Cao grew louder, and the story that he should go to war also spread widely.

“Hmph….”

However, if he had to be honest, he was on Gongsun Chan’s side.

The immediate position of Cheongju Jasa was given to him by Gongsun Chan, and it was not possible to take out troops without permission.

“If you knew this would happen, wouldn’t you have taken the plains back? hahahaha.”

Gongsun Zan was defeated at the Battle of Gyekyo, but Jeon Hae advanced north from below and recaptured the plains.

Thanks to this, Gongsun Zan gave him a large reward and threatened him that he would be of great use in the war against Yuan Shao.

In other words, do not move your troops carelessly to fight against Elemental.

“It’s troublesome, it’s a pain in the ass.”

“General Jeonhae, what are you so distressed about earlier?”

In front of the door.

A man with particularly big ears and a good-natured appearance approached Jeon Hae, holding a bunch of bamboo sticks.

Jeon Hae frowned at the dirt at his feet.

“Gong Yu, have you been plowing the field again?”

“hahahaha. Don’t they say that people from Western Zhou have no houses to live in? We should at least cut down trees from the mountain over there and build pillars. The people of Cheongju seem to be really kind. They made tents together and provided roofs for the refugees.”

“…You worked hard to build the pillar.”

“Oh, what? Your younger siblings have had a hard time. But why are you sighing so much?”

“actually….”

Moment.

Jeon Hae quickly stood up from her seat.

“Gong Yu. Can you persuade our Lord Zhou?”

“Yes, yes? Persuasion? What on earth….”

“It is the salvation of Western Zhou. We plan to use approximately 2,000 of Cheongju’s troops to help Western Zhou.”

“This cloth… I don’t think you would want it.”

The man immediately grasped the situation and bowed.

“I’ll go. Still, since you’ll listen to what my brother says even if it only goes to one ear, I’ll go and ask him. Maybe…you know. Maybe we can stop the blood flowing to Xuzhou at least a little. hahahaha… .”

“Please, Hyeondeok.”

The man with big ears took the letter from Dokyeom.

After a while.

“Brother, do we have to send off now?”

“Uh-huh. It’s all for the same purpose. Brother, please go quickly.”

“Okay. Hey, Hwa-hwa. Where are we going on a trip? Isn’t that a bottle of alcohol?”

“It’s not alcohol. It’s water. Isn’t that right, Ikdeok?”

“hahahaha! That’s right! What kind of alcohol is it to drink and not get drunk!”

“ha.”

“Brother, I will tell you what I said later.”

“No, Unjang. If you’re going to run on this cold day, you need to at least be warm.”

Hyeondeok and Yubi sighed and turned their heads forward.

“Drink just enough to warm up your body. If you fall off your horse halfway through, you’ll throw it away.”

“Wow, you’re my brother after all!”

“Woonjang, would you like a canteen?”

“…Thank you.”

The four horses started running toward the north toward the site where Gongsun Zan was stationed.

and.

As the year passes, before winter ends.

“Teacher Kwak, why did you even invite Heo Hyeon to me?”

“I have someone to introduce you to.”

“introduction?”

I came face to face with a woman with short black hair.

“My name is Aman, sir.”
