45 – The misfortune of troubled times

Jo Ah-man has been good at hiding his true feelings for a long time.

Everyone said there was a snake inside, but they didn’t know what the snake was thinking.

No one could accurately guess Jo Ah-man’s true intentions.

Even if I got a sense of it to some extent, I couldn’t get a glimpse of the true feelings inside.

So she was able to realize some ‘great causes’.

Because she hid her true feelings behind a mask, she was able to carry out her intentions properly.

No one knew Jo Ah-man’s ‘true intentions’.

however.

“Cao Cao weighed Western Zhou against the world?”

The man in front of me saw it clearly.

A man I had never seen before, a man I had only heard about through hearsay, looked right through me as if I had been inside him.

“Yes. There is no way that Western Zhou would be a good land. When you mentioned Western Zhou, didn’t you just guess it? Do I really have good eyes for the land?”

“…It’s interesting. The view that the ruler of Western Zhou will be Cao Cao is interesting, and the idea that Western Zhou will be ruined in the future is also quite interesting. Really.”

I was about to leave, but then I got interested.

“Why can’t we buy land in Xuzhou?”

“You can buy it. It will pay for itself in a hundred years.”

“One hundred years.”

“Right now, or over the next ten years, the value of Western Zhou will continue to decline. If you want to pass on land to your descendants in a hundred years, buy it, or wait longer. Well, it’s your choice to buy it.”

The man gave advice and did not actually force a choice.

Although it was a petty act to avoid responsibility, there was no reason for the man to take responsibility for Jo Ah-man’s choices.

“But if you’re going to buy it, I’d advise you to wait a little longer. Jo Maeng-deok will step on Seo-ju one more time.”

“…One more time?”

also.

I got caught.

Anyone can think about it, but figuring it out this accurately is a different story.

“Yes. One more time. Even this time, I will destroy the entire land of Xuzhou. I will completely crush Xuzhou so that it will never dare to stand up again.”

It can happen once.

It can happen twice.

But three times?

“Why?”

“We need to lay a foundation before Yuan Shao can fully promote Gongsun Zan.”

Four times.

Every time I talk, it feels like a layer of skin is peeling off.

Jo Ah-man seemed to be sweating from his clenched fists.

“…That’s a really interesting point of view. Cao Cao is an ally of Yuan Shao. No, it’s safe to say that he is actually under his control. But-“

“I haven’t yet said that Zhao Mengde is opposed to Yuan Shao.”

Jo Ah-man was momentarily speechless.

“But it seems like you are thinking that Jo Maeng-deok will fight with Yuan Shao. Establishing a foundation may not necessarily mean losing ground.”

“…….”

The man picked up the car, looking at Jo Ah-man indifferently.

Jo Ah-man wet his burning throat with tea.

“But it seems like Mr. Jojayo has already concluded about Jo Maengdeok’s direction. That he will set up a confrontation with Yuan Shao.”

“…I’ll be honest with you. I am Jo Jo’s person. To be exact, I am one of the Jo family members.”

more.

In order to know more, we need to secretly reveal the truth.

Even if the man seemed a little displeased with Seo Joo’s work, Jo Ah Man revealed his background.

“Jojo has been close to Wonwoncho since he was young. We have shared the same ideas since before the Seowon Palgyo Committee. But how can you say that Jojo is at odds with Wonwoncho?”

“If I had been going along with Yuan Shao, I would not have made my power this large.”

“What if, as you said, you want to stand side by side as allies?”

“If that’s the case, I’d like to think that people are just pure. To clap, both hands must touch each other, but this clapping sound is made even when someone is slapping their cheeks one-sidedly.”

The man touched his cheek with his hand.

“Even if Cao Cao was kind and created a force for Yuan Shao, what would you do if Yuan Shao told you to submit to Cao Cao? What if he asked you to come under his power?”

“Isn’t that already the case?”

“The relationship between alliances and the relationship between warlords is different.”

“…….”

Jo Ah-man is not a foolish woman.

I knew better than anyone else what the man’s words meant.

Just as the man is well aware of Jo Jo’s inner thoughts, Jo Ah-man is also well aware of Yuan Shao’s innermost thoughts.

Yuan Shao is the one who forces Cao Cao to put his head down on his shoe if he doesn’t lower his head.

“…Okay. Let’s say his intention is that he doesn’t want to get involved with Wonwonchao right away. What does that have to do with Zhou Zhou’s work?”

“Jo Maengdeok wants to attack Western Zhou slowly.”

“…slowly?”

“Yes. So that Yuan Shao cannot turn his attention to the south. If he crosses the Yellow River, who will be attacked first? Cao Cao’s army. Although Gongsun Zan is now setting up a confrontational stance, Gongsun Zan is also slowly starting to feel strange. Uneasy. “It has no choice but to rise naturally.”

“Can Wonboncho attack Cao Cao? Hmm….”

Accurate.

Jo Ah-man was always worried about Yuan Shao.

As Cao Cao’s power grew, he was worried that Yuan Shao might think that he should take precedence over Gongsun Zan.

Although only two years had passed since the Jinryu land was subjugated, the fact that the position of Yeongyeonmok was given to ‘Yeonso’ showed who was superior.

“From Yuan Shao’s point of view, Cao Cao, who is gradually increasing his base and expanding his sphere of influence, like Jin Liu and Fuyang, may now be in trouble. That’s why he is trying to appropriately adjust and coordinate the timing of his attack on Taoqian. Yuan Shao will directly eliminate Gongsun Zan. “When we leave, we will completely occupy Xuzhou.”

“…Isn’t it because of your mother’s revenge?”

“If that is 70%, wouldn’t other factors be 30%?”

Grinning.

Jo Ah-man burst out laughing.

I tried not to laugh, but I ended up laughing without realizing it.

“Okay. Then, where does the teacher recommend? Is it a host where the elements are located?”

“Well, if I had a lot of money… I would buy the ruins near Luoyang.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Even if it rots, it’s okay. Luoyang land is not a waste of land to just be thrown away. The land owner may show up later and bother you, but it will make money. That is, when the Great Peaceful Dynasty approaches in the future.”

The man asked without any change in his expression.

“There is a way to only take money without any consideration, and there is a way to gain people’s recognition even though profits are reduced by about a third. The choice is up to you, Lady Jo Ah-man.”

The man so calmly offered his wisdom.

“Luoyang….”

He suggested several paths to Jo Ah-man.

That method was already very familiar to Jo Ah-man.

Jo Ah-man listened to his story and thought over and over again.

“Why are you telling me this?”

“Why? That’s right.”

The man pointed outside.

“Because he was introduced by Bonghyo.”

“…I see. I seem to be really good at making friends.”

Jo Ah-man stood up.

I was nervous that if we continued talking here, even the last layer would peel off.

“By the way, Mr. Geum, do you have any plans to be commissioned? I think you could easily take up a position as a teacher.”

“You will become a bureaucrat tainted by corruption and corruption. hehehe, just kidding. I just like living with nature as a friend. And….”

For the first time.

Geumtaeyang smiled warmly.

“I want to live leisurely while raising a cat or two.”

* * *

“Raising stray cats is an idea that only the royal family would do. What do you think, Bonghyo?”

“……Who are you.”

“Maengdeok. Why, if it were Aman, would you have tried to talk to me?”

“yes.”

Guo Jia glared at Cao Aman with slightly disdain in his eyes.

“You didn’t catch it. You’re using your childhood name as an alias.”

“If you knew my baby name, you would have known my identity a long time ago. It seemed like you had no idea. hehehe.”

Jojo chuckled and rode the horse.

Even after leaving Golden Sun’s Manor, I couldn’t move easily.

“It’s a shame, it’s a shame. To a person like that, it would be perfect to just ask them to talk. Yes, that’s right. I’ll take responsibility, so you can just talk.”

“…Well, he’s that kind of person. But then again, wouldn’t you know it? When the stakes are set and he gets into that position, he might become a person who takes the lead more than anyone else.”

“Is that so? I’m glad if that’s the case.”

The smile on JoJo’s face never ceased.

“Cute guy. Bonghyo, did you hear? He calls me a young lady.”

“…Yes, I hope you like it. I heard a man of the same age as me call me a girl.”

“Of course it’s good. Write it, Bonghyo.”

JoJo asked with a serious face.

“Well, are you thinking of getting married?”

* * *

“She was a scary girl.”

She was a woman who looked like she could eat many people.

And it wasn’t the look in his eyes that had killed one or two people.

“If you get caught by a woman like that, your life will be over.”

Dangerous people should be avoided.

“As expected, it’s Jo. She’s really similar to Jojo. Anyone who sees her will think she’s her daughter.”

How old is Jojo in this year?

It is said that Won So’s three sons have already grown up and are trying to help their father with his work, so it would not be strange for Jojo to have sons and daughters as well.

“…Bonghyo probably didn’t introduce the successor.”

Then your nose gets pierced.

I prayed sincerely for this person who might be my hidden daughter.

“Don’t be a crazy b*tch like Mom.”

spring.

Cao Cao again launched a second invasion into Western Zhou.

“Crazy b*tch.”
