75 – After the battle (2)

“aaah!”

Mr. Chu collapsed from the sad news.

The man who promised to spend the rest of his life with him returned as a corpse with his entire body pierced by arrows.

“…….”

The nephew, the general, turned his back on the general and quietly entered the barracks. He sat down in the prepared seat with a heavy expression.

“General.”

Opening the tent entrance, a black-haired woman, Gafu, quietly entered. She stood in front of the general wearing mourning clothes honoring him.

“I offer my sincere condolences.”

“Thank you. But if the culture continues like this…”

“Don’t even dream of revenge.”

The general closed his eyes at Gahu’s firm words.

“Now is the perfect opportunity to carry out the general’s will.”

Emperor Zhang’s death.

That actually helps longevity.

“Take advantage of a relative’s death?”

“Relatives depend on their own relatives. Deep down, didn’t you feel burdened?”

“…….”

Gafu’s words began to pierce the general’s inner thoughts.

“When you said you would plunder the northern part of Jingju, wasn’t it because you didn’t want to see the people being exploited that you said you would stay here in Wan?”

“Culture, I am.”

“I know. You feel guilty about not being able to stop him. So, it just needs to change in the future. Jangje and Jangsu are different. Just show it.”

“…To be honest.”

The general bowed his head.

“I think it worked out better. Isn’t this an opportunity for us to change?”

“This is a golden opportunity to shake off the shadow of Dong-tak cast over the general.”

Dong Zhuo’s subordinate, Emperor Zhang.

However, if things change with Emperor Zhang’s death, people around the world will just know him as one of the various warlords of the world.

“Although most of the army has been lost, there are still those who are loyal to the general. Let’s use them as a base to occupy this place, Wanseong, and use it as a base. Isn’t it impossible to continue wandering?”

“Of course.”

All those who followed Zhang Jieman died.

He was killed by falling into a frozen river.

He died trying to plunder someone else’s property.

Are you going to take revenge with this?

People all over the world will rather laugh at longevity.

“I want to live a different life than my uncle. I want to be a proud father to my son, Cheon.”

“It can still be true now.”

“What should we do? We can occupy Wongwan. But what happens after we occupy Wongwan? What are the supplies that our army absolutely needs?”

“General.”

Gafu smiled with a confident face.

“How about forming an alliance with Yupyo?”

“…what?”

“Wouldn’t it be appropriate? We would become a dam to block various warlords coming down from the north, and we would receive supplies from Yu Biao of Jingzhou.”

“Look, Munhwa. Your uncle died while trying to plunder the northern part of Jingzhou. But you are an ally? Will you accept it?”

“Yu Pyo will accept it.”

Gafu pointed at himself with his thumb.

“Believe it. If the general decides, this family will definitely make an alliance happen.”

“……After conquering Wanseong, take Hogea with you.”

“hehehe, thank you for your concern.”

Gafu narrowed his eyes.

“General, please speak carefully to Madam Chu. Well, you don’t have to worry too much. Women have many faces.”

“what?”

“what….”

Gafu covered his mouth with a fan.

“It meant taking good care of the widowed person as a nephew.”

“…So, Wen Bing’s 500 defenders and Hwangjo’s 3,000 won troops combined to defeat the enemy?”

Yu Pyo briefly summarized what happened in northern Jingju.

“Good.”

In the process, there was no story that the people of Xinya County directly stepped forward and helped Wen Bing fight.

Although it could be said to be a good story for the people of Shinya County, it was not a very good story for Yupyo at least.

Although it is encouraging for the history of Zhou that the people of Xinya County directly stepped up and fought against the enemy, the problem is that they did too much.

So much so that the activities of Moon Bing and Hwang Jo are buried.

Geum Taeyang, who joined the volunteer army, should not receive more attention than ‘Yu Pyo’s subordinates.’

If that happens, the people’s view of Yupyo will worsen.

“Give Wen Bing the position of prefect of Xinya County?”

Moon Bing proved his abilities.

Regardless of whether someone helped with the strategy or not, it was Moon Bing and his soldiers who actually succeeded and led to victory.

According to what I heard, Wen Bing bought time by himself against Chiang Kai-shek’s soldiers and against the enemy general Chiang Kai-shek.

It is said that he single-handedly dealt with Emperor Zhang and simultaneously stabbed dozens of soldiers to death with spears, so it was a very welcome appearance of a talented person for Liu Biao.

What is the chronic problem of Jingju, which you control?

He is armed.

Chae’s mother, who calls herself a general, is a coward who refuses to step forward except to threaten Yang Yang-seong, and the other generals of the Chae family are cowardly and incompetent who rely on the family’s prestige.

Other than that, there are only scholars who know how to gossip behind people’s backs.

If you hold a government position, you must be able to command and lead soldiers, but no one was willing to step forward as reinforcements.

“I need to take a test.”

I leave Shinya in the care of Moon Bing.

And if he shows outstanding ability based on his loyalty, ability, and sincerity, he will be brought to Yangyang.

A ‘person of Yu Pyo’ was needed to establish a confrontation with the Chae family.

We can’t play around with the power of the Chae family forever.

…No, it’s okay to play around.

Considering her beloved son, the Chae family is now a family, but something like Chae’s behavior at the last emergency meeting should never happen again.

“Song, servant.”

Yupyo got up, opened the door, and walked down the hallway.

From noble mtl dot com

It was so annoying that he had to see his wife living somewhere other than his own room to see his son, but he was overjoyed every time he saw his biological son’s loveliness.

“Hmm. Madam, I’m going in.”

Yupyo entered the room.

Lady Chae was sitting on the bed, holding Yoo Pyo’s son, Yoo Jong, in her arms.

“Shh….”

Mrs. Chae whispered with a tired face.

“I just put you to sleep.”

“hahahaha, my father is here, so what!”

“…….”

Lady Chae seemed to be cursing with her eyes, but Yoo Pyo chuckled and approached Yoo Jong.

“Jong-ah! It’s my father. hahahaha, who does it look like?”

Yujong’s face gradually began to frown at Yupyo’s loud voice. Lady Chae had a look of death in her eyes, but Yoo Pyo didn’t care at all and smiled, waving his hand at Yoo Jong.

“Ugh, ugh….”

“Yes! Yes, I knew right away that my father had arrived-”

“Peusssssssss!!!”

Yujong cried really freely.

Yujong opened his very small mouth as if it were about to be torn apart, and began to howl so harshly that one thought it might be a scream.

“Oh my…”

“Is there a problem?!”

A young man who was just passing by outside came inside.

Yupyo hid his embarrassment and put on a solemn expression.

“Uh-huh. Don’t panic.”

“Jong! Mother, that….”

“…Please hug me for a moment, Confucius.”

Lady Chae handed the wailing Yujong to the young man, Yugi.

Yugi hugged his half-brother very carefully.

“That’s right. That’s right. You’re good, right?”

“Uh, uhm….”

Yugi cherished Yujong as if he were his own son or his own brother. Seeing him looking at Yujong, Lady Chae’s eyes slightly softened, but she soon began to glare venomously at Yupyo.

“Useless actions….”

It was impossible for a wife to disparage her husband, but Yoo Pyo had nothing to say.

“Ugh….”

Every time I saw my son who was so lovely, all my worries and worries seemed to fly away.

okay.

‘You are my new sun.’

It’s shining so brightly, how can you not be happy?

Yupyo made up his mind that one day, when the child grows up, he will definitely hug him with all his might.

Chiang Kai-shek’s army has been roughly summarized.

Munbing, who was in charge of Xinya County, recruited as many as 3,000 soldiers to protect the northern part of Jingju.

Although a huge amount of soldiers could have escaped, Shinya County had been free from the aftermath of war for a long time, and the land was fertile and there was a lot of grain stored up.

Of course, that also means that there are a lot of reserves, and if an army of 3,000 soldiers consumes troops every day, the reserves will eventually run out.

Yangyang receives a lot of grain from Sagun, Hyeongnam, but Shinya has to be almost self-sufficient.

-Teacher, help me!

Moon Bing asked me for help.

I thought about how I could take good care of the land and how I could have a good harvest this year.

-Then how about receiving Liang’s used books?

-yes? Speaking of quantity….

-This is Zhuge Sega’s Liang. Although she is not yet a year old, I can guarantee her ability. As you grow up, you will become a better person than me.

Zhuge Liang.

It was a recommendation from teacher Su-kyung.

-Yes. We talked about it last time. Just do it ‘well’.

In addition, Sima Yi, who stamped his eyes on Wen Bing, came forward to help.

-At least in the field of taking care of the land, that kid is better than me.

Sima Yi praised Zhuge Liang’s specialty.

Although Wen Bing was concerned about the words of the two Sima clans, he accepted Zhuge Liang’s book because there was already an example of Sima Yi.

-How can we ensure a good harvest?

-that….

Zhuge Liang’s words afterward were so long that I couldn’t even remember them all.

While I was listening to it, I thought to myself, “I can’t help it.” Moon Bing must have been so embarrassed.

-But since we can’t give a government position to a child who is still young, would it be okay to ask for help from Teacher Su-kyung?

-Good, good.

Just as Sima Yi demonstrated his resourcefulness through his own words, Zhuge Liang tried to fully demonstrate his knowledge through the words of Master Shujing.

Just like that, Shinya was about to welcome spring.

“Master, would you like to go to Hanae?”

If it weren’t for Sima Yi’s suggestion, it would have been just an ordinary winter.
