69 – There are too many thieves in the world (6)

Although I wrote the keynote with courage, I had never appeared in front of people until now.

But now we have to step forward.

The starting point of a plan for victory is to maximize the number of players.

“Everyone is gathered, Master.”

Zhuge Liang came first and guided me.

Zhuge Liang also dressed up as if imitating official uniform.

“Are you planning to go to battle too?”

“If you don’t let me go directly to the battlefield, I will give you a trick behind my back.”

“Liang, that’s enough.”

Zhuge Liang has already done his job well.

Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang.

This is almost the first time the two have joined forces and cooperated with each other.

To protect Hyeongju, the two worked hard to devise a strategy.

Sima Yi treated Zhuge Liang as Sima Yi did, and Zhuge Liang did not sharpen his hand on Sima Yi, as Zhuge Liang did.

The two discussed everything, even the smallest details, as if planning a battle to divide the world.

“You guys have done enough. Now it’s my turn.”

My job is to grease the plates so they can roll smoothly.

“I will try to convince them.”

I left the Sugyeong academy.

And to the field where many people will gather….

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.

‘It’s a bit much.’

There are too many.

There were so many people that I wondered when so many people had gathered.

“Ryan. I think I asked that only those who will fight together remain.”

“That’s right, Master. They are all waiting to hear from you.”

“…….”

I suddenly felt like my legs were going to lose strength.

It seemed like the key pressed down on my head was going to fall down.

“I-I want these people…?”

“Go quickly, Master.”

I was pushed back by Sima Yi.

“You can say whatever you want. As long as it doesn’t mean you’re running away.”

“Master, don’t you already have a meaning in mind? If you put sincerity into your words, whatever you say will be understood by everyone.”

Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang cheered me on.

I composed myself and moved forward.

The whispering died down, and people’s attention turned to me. I climbed onto the rice field ridge and looked around at the people gathered in the rice field.

‘It seems like there are more places than where rice was planted.’

How many people will there be?

Oh one hundred? no. It goes far beyond that.

No, cloth?

Wouldn’t it be twice as much as a thousand?

Most of the people gathered together were young men who said they were using a little more strength.

Not a soldier.

All of these people are farmers.

They were the ones who tilled the Chae family’s land with me until just a day ago.

Those who are more familiar with a sickle than a sword, and with a plow than with a spear.

I must go to battle with them.

“……after.”

All eyes were focused on me standing on the paddy field, or rather, on the podium.

There are people who know me, there are people who know me at least once, and there are people who talked to me yesterday.

But what they all have in common is that they are people who gathered together not to leave this land.

“It’s okay. That.”

I asked Sima Yi to give me the items I had prepared in advance.

She handed me a long green object, and I grabbed it and stood on the podium.

The name is Jukchang (竹槍).

It is simply the sharply cut end of a long bamboo tree. But this bamboo spear is the best weapon that we, the farmers, can use together to fight against the bandits.

Its durability is too low to be used, but it is not intended for fighting from the front in the first place.

“There is no need for a long introduction.”

I took a short breath.

“every.”

I slowly opened my mouth.

“First of all, shall we all shout out that Dong-tak is a bastard?”

Chiang Kai-shek’s southward movement.

Those who reacted most violently were, of course, Jo Jo-gun of Yeonju.

“Zhang Emperor’s group is currently settled in the Wan area. Although their army number is less than ten thousand, they are the ones who survived from the Battle of Hurouguan until now.”

“It will be difficult to fight easily. There are not only remnants of the defeated soldiers, but many intact Xiliang cavalry.”

Cao Cao and some of the generals shuddered as if they were disillusioned by the very word Xiliang cavalry.

“Whether it was during the time of Seoyong or during the reign of Lu Bu, those Yangju guys are of no help to our military at all.”

“What shall we do, my lord?”

“What should I do? Jo Hong, what do you think?”

“Does it have any significance? If they block the road to Heohyeon, it will be a little, no, a lot of trouble. But didn’t they say that their target is Hyeongju, not Wan?”

Jo Hong, the general with a golden helmet on his head, shrugged his shoulders and joked.

“They won’t dare target our rear. Just leave them alone. What’s important to us now is the Yeonam direction.”

Female and male.

The being there was none other than Yuan Shu, another lord of the Yuan family.

Cao Cao is currently supporting Yuan Shu and Cheok.

It would be natural for Cao Cao, under Yuan Shao, to be on the same page as Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu is now on all fronts.

“Isn’t Yunam’s Yuanju unable to control his power and touching everything from Western Zhou to Dongwu in Yeonju? It’s time to pay attention to the east and south right now. It’s not too late to deal with Emperor Zhang later.”

“That’s true. But….”

Jojo laughed bitterly, playing with his hair that had turned white.

“It’s about time.”

“Jukong!”

“I thought Munyak or Gongdal would come, but Bonghyo came.”

Cao Cao welcomed Guo Jia’s visit.

“So, what’s going on?”

“Are you planning to send troops to Jingju by any chance?”

“What do you think?”

“You must not send it.”

Unexpected.

Cao Cao and Cao Hong’s eyes widened.

“I thought you should intercept Emperor Zhang.”

“Why?”

“Well, in the northern part of Jingju….”

“You have to distinguish between public and private life. What time of year is it now? It’s cold in the south, so honey can’t be obtained, so the amount is small, and isn’t it a time when a crazy person is attacking Yeonju, saying he’s going to catch the thief who stole the honey?”

So-called honey water revenge.

“Oh my. Where did the honey thief disappear to?”

“I don’t know.”

Of course, it’s a joke from the Kwak family.

“Long Bonghyo’s joke is very funny! hahahaha. Is there anyone in the world who starts a war over honey? Isn’t it all because of his own ambition? Wonsul has always been greedy and selfish. He will get hurt a lot later.”

“The problem is that Yuan Shu’s power is getting stronger every day.”

Cao Cao unfolded the map.

“They say Wonsul is using Namyang to destroy Dong-o’s powerful clans one by one. Who is he? He is Sun Jian’s son.”

“Are you talking about Sun Ce?”

“Yes! The father tiger is dead, so he sent his son tiger. Whether it will be a tiger or a wild cat remains to be seen.”

Jojo smiled heartily and crossed his legs.

“If I were the Sun family, I would have taken over all of Dongwu and become independent from Yuan Shu. You never know. That young bastard named Sun Ce might stick a sword in Yuan Shu’s back.”

Wonsul currently has presence in many places.

“Yes, Bonghyo. I understand your opinion about pretending not to know Jangje for now because of Yuan Shu. But did Wen Ruo and Gong Dal remain silent?”

“Yes. Lord Sunuk and Lord Sunyu both said the same thing. Jingju doesn’t need to worry.”

“Huh, why? Isn’t it dangerous? That.”

Jojo traced his lips with his index finger with a naughty smile. Jo Hong sighed, and Kwak Ga smiled humbly.

“I dare say to the Duke of Zhou, that he is more outstanding than you think. Speaking of Sun Ce, do you know how Sun Jian died?”

“Didn’t he die after being hit by a blind arrow while attacking Yu Biao? I heard he introduced Sun Yu to the Emperor.”

“Yes. To be exact….”

Kwak Ga clearly revealed his background.

“…He framed it? That’s funny. Even if Sunyu wasn’t there, the same situation would have happened?”

“That’s right. The two people said….”

Guo Jia continued speaking in a serious voice.

“They say he is a man like a cat, who easily runs away from threats, but if someone touches his house, he raises his claws and swings around like a tiger.”

We are the people.

These are people who enjoy living day by day, raising sons and daughters, and laughing with their neighbors.

But what about today’s times?

There are too many bastards trying to take what is ours.

There are so many people who look down on us when we stay still, and ignore us when we run away.

This land is our land.

This is the land we have cultivated, and the grain from this land will fill our hungry stomachs.

It should never fall into the mouths of those scum who kill people!

I am someone who came down to Jingju to escape the war.

When my family was killed by the Yellow Turban Red Army, I was such a mess that I couldn’t even hold a paintbrush properly.

When I came down to Jingju to escape Dong Tak’s tyranny, I was a boy who couldn’t even hold a spear properly.

But now it’s different.

Even though I couldn’t hold a spear like a soldier, I was raised to protect my land with a spear made of bamboo and a plow.

Are you going to run away like this?

Are you going to leave like this?

no.

I will fight against those thieves.

Elder Yoo Gyeong-seung in Yangyang will know of our danger and will send soldiers.

Will you wait for them and go away and come back?

Are we going to just watch as our land, our homes, and the spaces we lived in until yesterday are destroyed and violated?

no!

I can never allow my home to be taken away!

This land is our land!

If this place is taken away, they will come again to take the land we left behind!

Thieves are usually extremely greedy and do not know satisfaction.

The moment they kill a person is their satisfaction, and the moment they take away their wealth and life is their satisfaction.

If you stay still, you will die, and even if you run away, death will chase you.

Of course, I’m scared too.

If tens of thousands of soldiers want to turn this place into a wasteland, I too will run away.

But they are thousands!

Even he only arrived here after escaping from Jangan during the cold winter.

There are now over a thousand people gathered here, and we know the topography of this land very well.

It is clear that they are outnumbered.

However, we have soldiers from the government guarding Jingju, and we also have a relief force coming from Yangyang.

Let’s raise our spears!

Let us protect our land together with those who protect Jyeongju!

We will not live only in deprivation!

Our family! Our land!

We will raise our spears to protect what is ours!

If they come over the fence, I will stab them in the neck, and if they come into my house and try to harm my family, I will stab them in the back!

This is not killing people!

How can those who rob people and steal their lives be called people?

They are the dead Dong Zhuo’s minions!

Luoyang and Changan are not enough, they are beasts imbued with the ghost of Dong Zhuo, who have come down to Jingzhou and are trying to steal what belongs to others!

We will fight to protect our home!

We will plunge our bamboo spears into the jaws of the wolf cubs who are trying to kill our mothers, our wives, our sons and daughters!

Everyone, shout!

Dongtak, motherf*cker!

Hwang Wol-young recruits from Shinya. Their number is about two thousand.
