67 – There are too many thieves in the world (4)

Hyeongju is peaceful.

However, just because it is relatively peaceful does not mean that Jingzhou is without any threats.

Because it was peaceful, bandits and enemies often appeared around Jingju.

Of course, the government forces of Jingju suppressed them on a large scale, and their numbers became relatively small compared to other places.

To put it bluntly, it could be said that the frequency of bandits running amok or warlords starting wars was rare.

-I can’t seem to do anything here. Let’s go somewhere else!

Saying that it is relatively stable is the same as saying that it is difficult for thieves to operate.

However, this is the first time that thousands of thieves have occurred like this one.

They were not just militiamen standing up with swords or axes on a piece of mat, nor were they the remnants of the Yellow Turban Red Army, but this was the first time they were wearing armor and moving systematically.

In fact, the army of a certain warlord had come to plunder the northern part of Jingzhou.

-Emergency for the entire army!

Hyeongju immediately went into emergency mode.

When five thousand enemy soldiers arrived from the north, Liu Piao immediately summoned his generals.

“We sent a scout to confirm. Five thousand soldiers from the North came down from Changan.”

“Did you say Chang’an?”

“That’s right. After checking… they are soldiers of ‘Chiang Emperor’, one of the four military commissions.”

The generals and advisors were frightened by the name Jangje.

Jangje.

One of the four warlords who took control of Chang’an after Dong Zhuo’s death, along with Li Jue, Guo Si, and the feudal lord.

In fact, the person under Dong Zhuo came down to the northern part of Jingzhou with 5,000 troops.

“No, speaking of Emperor Zhang, isn’t he Dong Zhuo’s subordinate?”

“Although Li Jue and Guo Shi both had as much power as Dong Zhuo, Emperor Zhang also enjoyed just as much power.”

“Jang Jang, Yi Gak, and Guo Sa are all there.”

What kind of person is Zhang Jie?

The chiefs all came to a common opinion.

Dong Tak’s subordinate.

That’s enough.

“Then why did he appear?”

“I know the answer.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the middle-aged man.

“Tell me, Goewol.”

“Why not think about it in relation to what happened before? The emperor escaped from Chang’an. The person who was supposed to be in Chang’an appeared from the north? Duke of Zhou!”

Goewol, the man dressed as a civil servant, quickly bowed down.

“This must have been after the emperor!”

“The emperor.”

Yupyo, sitting at the head of the table, played with his beard and frowned.

“The emperor escaped from Chang’an, and Jiang Ze came down here in pursuit of the emperor?’

“That is highly likely! This is a golden opportunity to assist the Emperor! We must quickly dispatch troops to find the Emperor!”

“That can’t be right.”

“General Chae?”

Chaemo raised his head to argue against Goewol’s words.

“If it were an army pursuing the emperor, one of Li Jue and Guo Si would have come down. It is not that he was specifically trying to take sides, but it is said that Emperor Zhang mediated between Yi Ju and Guo Si and protected the imperial family.”

“So you are protecting the emperor?”

“No. That won’t be the case. I think it would be more correct to think of it as just…independence.”

Independent.

At those words, the mood of all the priests became gloomy.

“Are you trying to take away the execution pillar?”

“They may be trying to take over Jingzhou’s land, or they may be trying to take away Jingzhou’s food. According to the scouts’ report, they deliberately plundered and plundered private houses in the northern part of Jingzhou.”

The northern part of Jingzhou.

The area passing through the ‘Wan’ area was mainly looted.

“I think he must have been running away from a power struggle.”

“They came down because they ran away. That’s a possibility. The question is why they came down here, but….”

Yoo Pyo was irritated, banging the fan in his hand against the chair.

“They dared to plunder the people of Jingju. General Chae.”

“””Speak, my lord.”””

Three men answered at the same time.

When the three men from the Chae family who had agreed to work for Yoo Pyo answered at the same time, Yoo Pyo extended his fan towards Chae’s mother.

“General, tell me. If Emperor Chiang’s army attacks Jingzhou, can we stop it?”

“Yes. We can stop it.”

Chaemo pointed to the map of Hyeongju hanging next to him.

“They won’t dare to come down the Yangtze River to Yangyang. They’ll need a boat to cross the river, and they won’t be able to get one right now.”

“It’s not Yangyang, but what about Shinyahyeon?”

“Almost everything except Xinya City will be plundered. Therefore, we will have to suppress them north of the Yangtze River and north of Xinya County, not in Yangyang.”

“It’s Shinya County. That’s good. We can’t turn Yangyang into a battlefield again.”

Intercept and defeat the enemy in Shinya.

Yupyo clapped his hands and asked.

“So who will go?”

“…….”

Silence fell.

Neither civil servants nor military attachés said that they would step forward.

Even Chaemo, who had just mentioned where to respond, glared at the others and did not open his mouth.

None of Yangyang’s officials volunteered for reinforcements to protect Shinya. Yupyo grabbed his throbbing head.

“Who is in charge of the defense of the North?”

“Moon Bing is in charge.”

“Moon Bing? Ah, that’s right. I guess I can trust him.

Moon Bing.

A person who recently joined the Yupyo army, was from Wan, and was appointed to guard the northern part of Jingju, a place descending from Wan.

The emperor of Ganghe evaluated him as a military commander who dared to say that he was better than himself.

At the very least, he must be much more capable than those here.

“How many Northern defenders are there?”

“…The number is about five hundred.”

Oh hundred.

Oh thousand.

The power is ten times different.

No matter how powerful Moon Bing was, it was difficult for him to deal with Wu Cheon, an elite soldier of Dong Zhuo’s army who had fought several wars.

“Can you survive a sit-in protest in Xinya City?”

“People will survive, but they will try to plunder the northern part of Jingzhou, and only by eradicating them will all problems be solved.”

“Okay, who?”

“…….”

who.

Those words silenced everyone.

“I understand. I will decide. Chae….”

The moment Yupyo’s eyes fell on Chaehwa.

Chaemo narrowed her eyes and glared at Yupyo.

If you are going to appoint someone, just appoint them.

Chae-mo would be the only one who would dare to look at the governor of Jingju like that.

“Tsk….”

Yoo Pyo bit his lip and stopped giving military orders.

Although he was seething with anger inside, Yoo Pyo could not directly call the name Chaemo.

The same goes for other members of the Chae family.

And it was to the point where I thought it would be better not to send the armed forces except for them.

“Hmm… I’m embarrassed.”

“Zhu Gong, what about General Hwang?”

“General Hwang? Who?”

“This is General Hwangjo. I am currently staying in Yangyang for a while.”

“Oh, right. Yes, there was a yellow swan.”

Why is Governor Kang Ha in Yangyang?

Yu Pyo sent a letter to Hwang Jo asking to see his face at least once, but Hwang Jo actually came to Yangyang.

It is truly an appropriate situation to call it ‘just the right moment’.

“Call the Yellow Bird!”

* * *

At that time, the eastern port of Yangyang.

“…No, what do you mean?”

Hwangjo was dismayed by the orders sent to him.

“Run to the north immediately, join Wen Bing’s defense force, and wipe out the enemy?”

The emperor was tired of the sheer number.

“Defeat 5,000 with 5,000? That too in a field battle? Are you crazy?”

“Master, can’t you do it?”

“It’s crazy that they’re telling us to repel them in a field battle rather than a siege. The opponents are Dong Tak’s men. But….”

Hwangjo held the order tightly.

“I guess I have to repay the favor.”

“And what if Gangha is occupied?”

“Occupation? Ha, you have destroyed all the enemy forces nearby, but who is coming in to Gangha? I heard that Yuan Shu is busy occupying Gangdong right now. The Duke of Zhou must have calculated all that and sent me to Xinya.”

“or not?”

“Gamnyeong, be careful of your words. Don’t judge the governor carelessly.”

The emperor returned the order to the messenger.

“We will go up the Yangtze River from the port. From there, we will join the reinforcements and go up to Xinya.”

“Good luck!”

The messenger took the order and returned to Yangyangseong.

Hwangjo boarded the ship with heavy steps.

“Change the track. We have to hurry and get to Shinya at any moment. Hurry!”

“Jonmyeong!!”

As the sailors on the river moved quickly, the ship tied to the port began to sail up the Yangtze River.

“Master, what do you mean by grace?”

“The person who taught me how to live.”

Hwangjo held his sword tightly as the wind blew from the north.

“I don’t know anything else, but a man should return the favor.”

“Ugh, Governor. That’s it!”

Gamnyeong patted Hwangjo’s back with his hand and burst into laughter.

“That’s the man.”

There was a bruise in the shape of a handprint on the emperor’s back.

“Whether it’s a strategy or anything else is fine. Any way that allows five hundred to win against five thousand, or rather, to gain time, is fine. Please help me, sir.”

“hmm….”

There is no way to avoid it.

It must not be avoided.

Just as Hwangjo came to me, this person must have come to me with a desperate heart.

‘He’s a parent.’

I didn’t know it until now, but the soldier in charge of defending the northern part of Hyeongju was a ‘general’.

It’s a bit strange that he wore a beard to look solemn, but looking at him with a mustache, it definitely looks like a general.

Honestly, it’s more likely than a yellow bird.

Oh hundred.

Oh thousand.

‘It’s worth it.’

I can’t say I’ve mastered the art of war, but it’s a fight I can do.

Moreover, behind me…

“General. You know me well, right? I’m a guy who knows how to look at a situation and make a decision, but I don’t know anything about specific mercenary techniques.”

“How can you speak so lowly? I know very well that you helped General Hwang greatly.”

“At that time, I received help from someone else.”

Apologize to Sun-yu later.

“Do you know this child?”

“…Isn’t she the teacher’s best student?”

“That’s right. Uiya, say hello.”

“Nice to meet you. Sima Yi, his name is Zhongda.”

Moon Bing’s eyes widened.

“The woman is cutting…!”

“He has better insight into the art of war than I do. And…”

This is what Sima Yi first suggested.

“With Sima Zhongda’s plans, strategies, and tactics, we will be able to repel the bandits in the north without shedding a single drop of blood.”

My role is to set the stage so that my disciples can see the light.

“I will be the mouth. I will use Jungdal’s head to protect Hyeongju. Is that okay?”

“…I can’t believe you want to be my teacher.”

“yes.”

To protect my land, I will step forward myself.

“I live with my mouth. Please leave the speaking to me.”

Since these words came from my own mouth, I will also take responsibility.

“Please let me protect the execution pillar.”

Below the northern part of Jingzhou.

Now, my land and my crops are threatened.

Wen Bing responds to Emperor Chiang’s forces.
