Chapter 47

47 – The Era of Nonsense (2) Performance

Ikju’s work was a truly suitable topic for teaching children.

It was a matter that we could think about and discuss thoroughly about what problems there are between people in times of turmoil and where these people are going.

But Seoju is different.

Among the new disciples of Shujing Academy, there are children from Western Zhou, like Zhuge Liang, and telling them stories about Western Zhou will only cause mental pain.

However, Xu Zhou’s work is worth discussing.

No, you must talk about it and move on.

This is because what happened in Seoju was so tragic, and the repercussions immediately hit Jingju.

Even though the hereditary rule in Ikju had a minimal impact on Jingju, the work of Xuzhou affected not only Jingju but all over the world.

And I invited someone with whom I could realistically discuss this to my room.

“Uiya. I’m sorry for calling you so late at night.”

“No, Master. I really enjoy talking alone with you like this.”

Sima Yi faced me wearing a suit of plain clothing.

Now that she has grown to the point where it is safe to call her a proper woman, I thought I should refrain from calling her late at night from now on.

“You don’t have to do that.”

“…huh?”

“Master, what you are thinking shows on your face.”

“What was I thinking?”

“Could it cause a strange misunderstanding if I call my wife late at night?”

“…Are you a ghost?”

Sima Yi smiled lowly and sat down in front of me.

Sima Yi and I lit a small lantern and spread out a map of Western Zhou in the middle.

“I didn’t tell you about what happened in Seoju. It hasn’t happened yet.”

“But it’s happening soon. Did Teacher Sunyu tell you that?”

“Yes. I heard that Sunyu is going to war again this time.”

Cao Cao decided to advance back to Xuzhou as soon as winter ended.

“It looks like there was some resistance even within Cao Cao’s army. But Cao Cao decided to march east again.”

“Shouldn’t we let you know?”

“Considering when Pabal arrived, they must have already advanced. Dogyeom’s scouting force will discover it faster than if we send a letter from here to Xuzhou, so you don’t have to worry about that problem.”

I moved most of Cao Cao’s troops from Fuyang to the direction of Xuzhou.

“The rear is empty, but since the rear is Yuan Shao’s army, we can advance with confidence. Even if Lee Gak and Gwaksa come, Yuan Shao will send a messenger.”

“It may be less justified than last year, but they say a nobleman’s revenge must be repaid even if it takes ten years, right?”

“Doesn’t that mean it will happen later? There’s no need to rush.”

“You have to be so passionate about revenge that you’ve been sharpening your knives for ten years. hehehe. But…”

Sima Yi pushed Cao Cao’s forces all the way to Xu Zhou Castle.

“You are the enemy of your parents. You are using the same excuse you used last year again this year. Jojo is truly a woman with extreme filial piety.”

“Uiya, are you being sarcastic?”

“No. I’m serious. Who in the world would slaughter someone like this just because their mother died? hehehe.”

Sima Yi covered his mouth with his hand and laughed lightly.

That smile contained a slight contempt for Jojo.

“I thought you liked Jojo. You like cavalry.”

“If I liked that he used cavalry well, I would have also liked Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo’s group. Just because he uses cavalry well doesn’t mean I like him. It’s not that Cao Cao’s army is particularly good at using cavalry, um.”

Sima Yi touched his lips with his hand for a moment.

For some reason, it was a habit of hesitating before speaking his true feelings when talking.

“To put it bluntly, I have no particular thoughts about JoJo. I neither like nor dislike him.”

Unexpected.

I thought Sima Yi would be a good match for Cao Cao, but Sima Yi didn’t seem to think so.

“Don’t you like people who are capable?”

“That’s right. I want to work in a place where my abilities are recognized and I can show them off to the fullest. And it would be even better if it was a place where I could win. But…Jojo is a little like that.”

“In what sense?”

“I’m worried that if I work under Jojo, life will feel like I’m walking on thin ice. hehehe.”

Sima Yi covered his mouth with a fan.

“I just think that if I worked for a woman like that, I would live my life worrying about when she would get on my nerves and when my head would run away.”

“…Isn’t it okay to look good?”

“Teacher. Even if you are someone who looks good and writes carefully, you never know what will happen in the distant future, right?”

Sima Yi tapped the Cao flag placed on top of Jin Liu.

“Jogangjicheo stood by his side and supported him when he was in trouble, but this man actually abandoned Jogangjicheo more than once when he rose to government office and fell in love with the wife of a high-ranking official.”

“Cao Cao will kick out his public servants?”

“The Great Emperor of Han also eliminated some of the top contributors to founding the Han Dynasty. Would it be any different with Cao Cao?”

“That’s true. Still, I’m going through such a hard time right now.”

I haven’t seen JoJo in person.

However, if we were to judge based on Jojo’s character so far…

“He is a man who will thoroughly take care of his contributions.”

“Master. You look at people too kindly. You are the nobleman who made Xu Zhou like that. Do you think he will not be punished later for his contribution?”

“It’s not that I particularly liked it. It’s just that I’m afraid that humans are such trash.”

From noble mtl dot com

Even if you are a complete demon to your enemies, shouldn’t you be a kind person to your own people?

“No matter how much you say it’s trash, would you just throw it away and throw it away when it’s your own?”

“Yes. Do you know that? I heard a rumor not long ago, and it happened when Cao Cao was running away from Dong Tak.”

“huh?”

This is the first time.

“Yes. It’s a story related to a person named Yeobaeksa…”

Sama’s words.

As Cao Cao was running away from Dong Tak, he met an acquaintance named Yeobaeksa and received help. It is said that he thought Yeobaeksa was trying to kill him, so he killed Yeobaeksa’s associates.

“…You misunderstood.”

“Yes. The female priest happened to be away at the time.”

“Wow, that person named Yeobaeksa must have been very angry.”

“It’s impossible. He’s dead. Killed by Cao Cao.”

“…her.”

Cao Cao chased after Lu Baeksa and killed him.

And he is said to have said this.

“Cao Mengde may betray the world, but the world cannot betray Cao Mengde.”

“…I wonder if he even said that.”

“I don’t know. If you look at what he’s doing in Seoju now, he’s a person who can do that. hehehe.”

I never thought Jojo would do something like that.

If it were true, our views on Cao Cao would have changed a long time ago.

“…But it’s strange.”

“What? Do you think it’s a lie?”

“No. This story spread as a rumor to the author? Suddenly?”

can not understand.

“It’s already been about four or five years since the Anti-Dong Tak Coalition was formed and then disbanded. But there have been no rumors like this circulating in the meantime? That can’t be possible.”

“Isn’t this something that Cao Cao may have been hiding?”

“Yes. If it were true, it would have been hidden. But why is it being revealed now? If someone had known, they would have let Jojo know the truth a long time ago. If Dong-tak had known, would he have kept this good thing quiet?”

“…Master, are you saying it’s strange that something that happened almost five years ago is suddenly spreading?”

“okay.”

weird.

“By causing a massacre in Xuzhou? That’s possible. Someone was disillusioned with Cao Cao’s actions. Those who trusted and followed Cao Cao were fed up with the massacre that Cao Cao caused.”

“So you’re spreading malicious rumors?”

“It’s not a rumor, it’s something like that. We were drunk and talking together, and it started to spread that that guy was actually….”

Whether it was done intentionally or not, public opinion toward Cao Cao will worsen further.

“…Your thoughts were shallow. What Cao Cao lost was not only the people of Western Zhou. He also lost people among those under him.”

“By any chance, Teacher Sunyu…?”

“No. It won’t be Sun-yu or Sun-wook. Well, they can commit it without telling me.”

I laid down Cao Cao’s flag in the Yeongju area to the side.

“Well, will there still be a rebellion? A rebellion against the being who devastated Western Zhou? Ugh, I can’t do that. What am I going to do when I’m afraid of repercussions?”

“If it were me, I think I would do it.”

Sima Yi smiled and flicked the Jinryu flag lightly with his finger.

“My response. Rebellion. Liberation. And the destruction of Cao Cao’s army. Wouldn’t it be enough to kill the person who will cause trouble later?”

“…That’s right.”

What if Jojo dies?

“…I hope Sunwook and Sunyu are safe.”

In particular, I don’t have a crush on Jojo.

I’m just worried because people I know are commissioning Jojo.

“If you hit the rear, it’s only elemental.”

“There is no way Yuan Shao would hit Cao Cao. Common sense tells us.”

“Right? I guess so. Hmm.”

Common sense.

That time.

Jang Jang, the man who was appointed governor of Bogyang, could not sleep well due to anxiety.

“Maengdeok….”

There was a sword lying on the bed in the tent.

It was a self-defense weapon that he kept out of fear that someone might come to kill him at any time, and it was a suicide sword in case of ‘any situation’.

Who can kill the curtain?

Would they dare to kill Jang Jang, the governor of Jinyu, who was named one of the Eighteen Paths feudal lords of the anti-Dongtak allied forces in the past?

…Now he is not the governor of Jinliu but the governor of Fuyang Province, but the real power of Fuyang Province is tightly held by Cao Cao’s subordinate, Xiahou Dun.

Tae-soo in name only.

Cao Cao treats the curtain as a close friend, but he never knows when it will kill him.

“Damn, damn. They think I’m their subordinate…!”

Jojo. element. tent.

Even before Dong-tak’s incident, the three were close friends, but after Yuan Shao’s surprise attack on Hanbok, the relationship between the three began to change drastically.

Jangmag accepted Hanbok.

This, of course, was an act of conflict with Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao consoled Jang, saying, ‘Yuan Shao told me to kill you, but how can friends do that?’

That was actually more scary.

The fact that Yuan Shao told Cao Cao to kill Jang Jang means, on the other hand, that Cao Cao is in a position to kill Jang Jang at any time.

“Will Cao Cao kill me? If Yuan Shao tells me to kill him, will I kill him? Ugh, ugh…!!”

“Elder.”

A melodious voice was heard outside.

Jangmag hurriedly adjusted his posture at the sound of a voice that could not have come to him this late at night.

“…vacuum belt?”

“Yes. This is Jin Gung.”

A woman with black hair came to the tent late at night and spoke.

“Elder. You protected those who escaped from the elements not long ago, right?”

“Ah, that’s it. I feel so sorry for people…”

“Do you know Jojo?”
