57 – Finding a way to live (2)

No matter how strong a military officer is, there are often cases where he is helpless in the face of military strategy and tactics.

– hahahaha, that’s all! No matter how many of you come, you will not be able to defeat me!

– …Sigh, it’s been an hour and you’re still coming to die? These guys, aren’t their lives worth it?

– Ha, ha, damn it, let’s take a break for just one hour!

– Radish, water…! Damn it, get out of the way…! Get out of the way!

– Wow.

Even if there is a general who is capable of defeating all enemies, as long as that general is a human being, he will eventually collapse if he throws his soldiers at them and engages in a wheel-to-wheel combat, regardless of whether they are thirsty, hungry, or exhausted.

If the strength of individual soldiers had unconditionally influenced the victory or defeat in battle, this country would have become the Chu Dynasty, not the Han Dynasty.

Han’s great-great-grandfather Liu Bang would have become a Confucian bastard, let alone a great-great-great-grandfather, and Han Xin would have become a plaything of the king of defeat and paid a heavy price for his betrayal.

Zhang Liang…some say he was a hermit, so he must have run away to a mountain somewhere.

Why am I saying this?

This is because the news of the defeat of the person who people feared to be the second coming of the First Defeated King arrived in Jingju.

“Lü Bu lost.”

I received a bamboo stick from Sunuk for the first time in a long time.

She told us in detail about the betrayal of Lü Bu’s army and the process by which Cao Cao’s army retreated.

“Lü Bu occupied several counties in Jinliu and Fuyang. In the process, the internal traitors, Jin Gong and Jang Jang, joined forces, and many people who were hostile to Cao Cao responded to the rebellion.”

“I guess I thought it was popular at the time.”

Sima Yi sat next to me and looked over the contents of the letter.

“That’s right. For the people, no matter who is on top, you don’t have to touch me, but for local officials and nobles, there is another law.”

The nobles of the Yeonju region must have been deeply afraid of Cao Cao.

Just like the cruel behavior he did to the people of Xuzhou, he wonders if the anger will reach him as well.

In particular, those who had been talking about Cao Cao for a long time, saying he was a eunuch family and all, must have been even more afraid after this incident.

“You found a way to survive by being afraid. Well, Lu Bu is quite trustworthy. He is the best in the world with his military power.”

“But you were defeated, weren’t you?”

“That’s the result. You never know. If Lu Bu had linked up with someone named Jin Gung and taken over all of Yeonju, Cao Cao would have lost his home base and become a wandering army.”

Cao Cao barely managed to protect his land.

Those who did not participate in the scene of the Western Zhou Massacre, left behind by Cao Cao, risked their lives to stop the Lu Bu army’s attack.

Sunuk protected it.

“I didn’t know that Sunwook would be this good because he never showed his skills.”

“Not Teacher Sunyu, you mean someone who is an acquaintance of yours.”

“okay.”

It is said that Sunuk also protected himself and two others from the attack of Lu Bu’s army, but they were people I didn’t think I needed to know about.

Sun Yu defended Cao Cao’s stronghold.

And Cao Cao ignited a counterattack against Lu Bu’s army based on the Yeongcheon army protected by Sunuk.

And Lu Bu was defeated.

It is said that Lü Bu’s army and Cao Cao’s army fought an all-out war in earnest, and Lü Bu’s army was defeated by Cao Cao’s army and disintegrated.

The instigators of the rebellion had all fled, and Cao Cao was consoling the entire performance that Lü Bu had dug up.

“Lu Bu, isn’t it that you’re not as good at fighting as you think? It seems like you almost never win, except for Ilgito.”

“Unlike the fight between generals, this is a fight between troops. Uiya, what do you think was the cause of Lu Bu’s defeat?”

“……soldier.”

Sima Yi calmly pointed out the contents of the bamboo can.

“It was only the nobles and nobles who started the rebellion, and the soldiers fighting in front did not truly follow them and stand up to Cao Cao.”

“Yes. Right now, they had no choice but to fight because Lü Bu was holding a sword behind them, but if Lü Bu is defeated and Cao Cao takes control again, everyone will be killed without mercy. Since the nobles betrayed Cao Cao, they will fight to the death with spears and swords, but the general These aren’t soldiers.”

If nothing else, Cao Cao was very thorough in training his soldiers.

So, although many counties surrendered to the might of Lü Bu’s army, Lü Bu was unable to immediately make the numerous soldiers of Yeonju his own.

“The cause of the problem was that Cao Cao returned too quickly. Another factor was that Sunuk was able to protect Bibil Hill. Another factor is that although Yeonju’s nobles betrayed him, his soldiers did not betray him. That would be Lü Bu’s defeat. .”

“Then how will Lu Bu act now? This is assuming that Lu Bu is alive.”

If Yeo-po had survived, he would have found somewhere else to shelter himself and become a parasitic, serving as a guest housekeeper.

“……Wouldn’t it be better to go to Yuan Shu in Suchun? Even if he fought in the Anti-Dong Zhuo Allied Forces, Yuan Shu is not the kind of person who would care about such things.”

“It’s like giving wings to Prince Won-sul. But I don’t think he will go. Both Won-sul and Lü Bu are greedy people, so Won-sul won’t try to raise hunting dogs that will eat him.”

“Is that so? …Surely you won’t come to Jingju?”

afraid.

If you are defeated in Yeonju and come down to Jingju, you have to pass through Shinya, so the Lu Bu army, distracted by the defeat, could wander around plundering Sugyeong Academy and everything else.

“When I come to Jingzhou later, I will have to talk to my aunt and ask her not to accept Lü Bu.”

“That’s right. If you accept Lü Bu for no reason, Chang’an will turn their eyes to Jingzhou. If you try to pass through Wan and then the Yangtze River….”

“I guess I’ll have to come here again, to Shinya.”

If you want to come down to Yangyang, where Yupyo is located, by land from Jungwon, you must pass through Shinya.

Any of them will set up camp here in Shinya for a while, and all the grains cultivated by Sugyeong Academy and the Chae family will be plundered in the name of ‘supply’.

“Well, don’t you think you would be quite angry if the fields we cultivated were taken away by those who wanted to take our land?”

“That’s right. I’ve put so much effort into it over the years that I’ve put so much effort into it, but if someone else comes along and devours it, I’d be really angry. … Really.”

There was something eerie about Sima Yi’s smile.

“That’s right. I did everything myself, but I think I’d be really angry if someone else came and ate it up.”

“…Ui, don’t you save up a lot of delicious food and then eat it?”

“Yes.”

“Take care.”

“Of course. Mine will never be taken away. hehehehe. But Master, I think there’s another one behind me.”

“ah.”

Sima Yi reached under the bamboo stick I was holding.

The two bamboo sticks that Sunwook sent were overlapping.

“There was more to it. Let’s see. Lu Bu’s whereabouts….”

From noble mtl dot com

“…Liu Bei of Zhou? What does this mean?”

“…….”

Lu Bu goes to entrust to Liu Bei of Zhou.

“Who is Yubi?”

* * *

Yoo Hyeon-deok! Yoo Hyeon-deok! Yoo Hyeon-deok! Yoo Hyeon-deok! Yoo Hyeon-deok!

In Western Zhou, the people’s chants of Yu Hyeon-deok and Yu Bi continued.

Why do they chant Liu Bei?

This is because Liu Bei kicked out Cao Cao.

Not only did Liu Bei come to Western Zhou as a relief force, but when Liu Bei requested peace with Cao Cao, Cao Cao immediately surrendered his army.

Of course, everyone knows now.

That Cao Cao withdrew from the army because of Lü Bu.

But the people of Xuzhou cannot forget the thrill of that moment.

The moment Liu Bei broke through the siege of the North Gate and entered the castle.

The moment when Liu Bei went out through the south gate, entered the middle of the enemy’s camp, and proposed peace.

The moment when Cao Cao’s army retreated.

– As expected, Yoo Hyeon-deok was a hero!

– Damn it, I believed it!

– It’s the light of Xuzhu!

Liu Bei’s name spread widely around Xu Zhoucheng.

This atmosphere was being formed naturally even without Liu Bei himself asserting himself.

why?

-Hey, have you heard the news? It is said that the elder Do-gyeom is planning to pass on the Seoju branch to Yu-bi.

-really? Does the government recognize Liu Bei?

-No, I’m just trying to hand over the governor’s seal.

-what? Is that possible?

-What does that mean in this day and age? Is the guy from Chang’an any different from Cao Cao? It would be better to get help from Yubi, who saved us.

Do-gyeom, no one else, was trying to hand over Seo-ju to Yu-bi.

From the day Yubi arrived, Dokyeom had been begging for her to take charge of Seoju.

-So, our governor of Seo Ju-seong will be Yu Hyeon-deok?

-no! Oh well, I heard that Liu Bei refused the position at Xuzhou’s company.

-why? Did you say I had to go back to Hebei?

-no! He said he couldn’t receive it. I don’t know why.

Do-gyeom tries to hand over his position at Seoju.

Yu-bi refuses to do anything.

The story between the two spread throughout Xuzhou and made many people pound their hearts.

“No, brother! Why won’t you take it? I’ll go and get it!”

“Ik-deok. Calm down. …But brother, this is a chance for a genius. Although half of the Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, half of it is still alive. We are protecting the people here.”

“That’s right! Brother, taking over the Western Zhou Company is the only way to protect the people. If it’s not us, how will we handle Cao Cao’s re-invasion?”

Liu Bei’s two younger brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, repeatedly offered to take over the seal to Liu Bei, who was just staring at the tree quietly.

“…It is against humanity.”

“No, brother!”

“My goodness. Now, I’m the type of person who does today and tomorrow, so what’s the problem?”

“That’s why it’s a problem.”

Liu Bei could only stare at the bare, dry tree.

“Western Province will be a battleground for the time being. Even though we have been wandering around for nearly ten years, it is not okay to have Western Province in a situation like this. What is easily gained is easily lost.”

“Isn’t it okay if I don’t lose it? What if I leave here? Do I have to go to Bukpyeong again?”

“Brother, Gongsunchan is….”

As Guan Yu spoke, he noticed Zhao Yun’s gaze.

The fact that Jaune was there with the three brothers seemed to show how close he had become to the three of them.

“Liu Bei, I don’t mean to disparage Duke Zhou. But if Liu Bei returns to Beipyeong, Duke Zhou will definitely push Liu Bei to his death.”

“…….”

Liu Bei didn’t say anything.

“Ah, brother! You’re going to die of frustration!”

“…Let’s trust you, brother. Actually, I’m not very reluctant either. The government hasn’t given me an official appointment order, and the idea of inheriting some kind of official position is….”

“Everyone says that, so why can’t we just do that? I’m really going crazy. Everyone else lives comfortably by taking shortcuts, so why are we the only ones who-”

“Walking the right path is the way to victory.”

Liu Bei calmly stretched his hand upward.

“That’s the way we live.”

Sarah.

At that moment, leaves fell from the bare old tree.

The dried, twisted leaves fell into Liu Bei’s hand.

and.

“Elder! This is a big problem! Dokyeom, old man!!”

“…….”

Liu Bei held a leaf in his hand.

Dokyeom, die.

Yubi takes over the Seoju company based on Do-gyeom’s will.
