78 – Collaborator (1)

play.

Jojo was watching a pair of carp playing together in the river under the bridge, flapping his blue fan.

The carp looked like a married couple, and Jojo was just quietly looking down at the carp.

No one could guess what she was thinking.

Sunwook, who is the most communicative and has the deepest understanding of Jojo’s thoughts, assists closely.

“Soonuk.”

“Yes, Duke.”

“It was said that after winter, Liu Bei and Lu Bu would be at odds with each other.”

“That’s right.”

Yu-bi and Yeo-po are just hunting cats who temporarily come together to eat each other.

Therefore, their alliance is a false one, and one day, one of them will betray first.

“I was the most active in stopping you from hitting on Seoju. I said that as time goes by, our relationship will naturally widen.”

“Yes. I told you.”

It was Sunuk’s advice, and Jojo accepted it.

He will betray you soon.

Lü Bu was a man who had cut down his adoptive father twice himself, and Liu Bei had taken over his stronghold in an instant, so the people’s trust was strong, but the support of the noble families was weak.

“Both Lu Bu and Liu Beina are like wildcats. Although they are now afraid of the tiger stretching out, they have joined forces, but since one of them has no choice but to eat small prey, he has no choice but to covet bigger prey.”

“Yes. That’s what you said back then. And you also said this. That there would be antagonism even in private. That’s actually true. They said that Liu Bei’s younger brother stole the red cuttlefish.”

“Yes. Lu Bu said that his face turned as red as red clay and he ran wild.”

“Yes. That’s how we fought.”

There are a lot of uneasy elements about each other, and from what I heard, Liu Bei’s younger brother was drunk and stole Lu Bu’s horse.

“They only fight with words and don’t fight with each other. Surely one of them gets angry and throws a knife at each other, but they just whine and don’t swing their fists.”

“It’s because of the fear of the main character. They are anxious to bite each other’s backs off right now, but they know better than anyone else that at that moment, their necks will be bitten by tigers one after another.”

“A side effect of our military being too strong? hahahaha, good. Interesting.”

JoJo threw the fish food from the railing.

Ripples began to appear on the calm surface of the water, and the fish nearby immediately rushed towards the rice cake.

“…Fish bite so easily, but they don’t move at all, so what should I do?”

“Don’t worry. The moment it moves, we will respond quickly with lightning-like movement. We have already predicted the direction of action of Liu Bei and Lu Bu and are preparing for all possible situations.”

Therefore, Cao Cao’s military advisors planned a strategy based on various assumptions about Liu Bei and Lü Bu’s betrayal.

When Lü Bu takes over Xuzhou Province while Liu Bei moves his troops elsewhere.

In response to this, he devised a plan such as requesting reinforcements from Hebei’s Gongsun Zan or attacking Yuan Shu in Nanyang.

Or when Liu Bei hits Lü Bu in the back while Lü Bu is fighting Cao Cao.

Regarding this, while Cao Cao’s army was fighting Lü Bu’s army, he secretly communicated with Liu Bei’s army and planned to prey on Lü Bu back and forth.

And in another case, Liu Bei and Lu Bu go crazy and kill each other.

No matter how warlords were, there were cases where personal grudges between feudal lords broke out into huge battles.

Didn’t Jo Jo immediately raise a large army due to his bad relationship with Do-gyeom?

“I will never disappoint you, Duke.”

“Yes. I hope there is some movement soon. I can’t see the east where the sun rises these days. Every time I look, the land of Xuzhou flashes before my eyes and I can’t sleep at all.”

Since they were alone with no one else around, Jojo smiled slightly and turned his head to Sunwook.

“Do you know how desperately I am trying to take over Western Zhou?”

“Of course. Aren’t you the type of person who will use anything for his ambitions?”

“hahahaha, when you say it like that, it makes me sound cold-blooded.”

Sunuk saw Cao Cao’s ambition.

Cao Cao also saw Sun Wook’s longing.

They weren’t sure where it would end, but at least for now – and for a long time to come – the path they would take was the same.

Expand and expand your power and become a feudal lord competing for hegemony over the world.

For Cao Cao, the first grand step was to occupy Western Zhou, but unfortunately, Western Zhou was taken over by a man with big ears.

“Seoju, Seoju. Ah, I want it. If we just have Yeonju and Seoju, doesn’t that mean we have the waist of a continent? Humans have been known to have strong waists since ancient times. Huh? Munyak, what do you think?”

“…….”

Sunuk said nothing as Jojo patted his waist with his hand.

“You boring person. This won’t work. Let’s talk about your friend-”

“Joo Gong! This is an urgent report! Someone has arrived from Chang’an!”

“…Changan?”

Jojo and Sunwook’s expressions hardened at the same time.

“Why are people coming to our army from Changan?”

“The Emperor has escaped Chang’an! He is looking for a Han army to protect him!”

The Emperor’s request for salvation reached all corners of the world.

At that time, the Giju business government office.

“What do you all think?”

The first thing Yuan Shao asked his staff for was their opinions. If it were any other matter, the generals would have been asked to discuss it as well, but this time, only the staff that followed Yuan Shao gathered together.

“Take turns telling everyone your opinions.”

“…….”

No one was willing to open their mouth first.

In particular, the six advisors who sat closest to Yuan Shao did not look at each other or say anything as if they were lost in thought.

“Dear Lord, I will speak first.”

“Tell me, Kwak Do.”

“What is the point of being an emperor? When the world is like this.”

Noisy.

The expressions of the other staff members changed in an instant as Kwak Do’s words came out strong from the beginning.

“The current emperor has no power at all. He is nothing more than a facade. How dare you elevate and serve such a person as the supreme ruler of this country. It is questionable whether he will be able to properly reward the government officials.”

“Don’t you think that the legitimacy of inheriting a country’s imperial family is meaningful enough?”

“Heh, Mr. Heo Yu, do you think that a superficial name is worth it?”

“Of course! The emperor is not a dead power. If it were a dead power, Li Jue and Guo Si would not have come from Chang’an to the west of Luoyang to chase the emperor. The emperor has value just because he is the emperor.”

“Even if it’s the emperor established by Dong Zhuo?”

Bonggi intervened in Heo Yu’s answer.

“Who is the current emperor? He is the emperor established by Dong Zhuo after the previous emperor passed away. He is nothing but a person established by him to become his puppet. But how can our Duke of Zhou establish as emperor the person established by Dong Zhuo? This is the anti-Dong Zhuo coalition. “It goes against the banner raised when proclaiming , and it also goes against the will of the lord, who wanted to establish the deceased Duke Yu as the true emperor.”

“The legitimacy of the emperor can be corrected as long as there is an emperor. It seems that Mr. Bonggi is planning to tarnish the Duke of Zhou’s face.”

“W-what?! Jeonpung, you bastard!”

The man called Jeonpung twitched the corner of his mouth as if sarcasm.

“If you pretend not to notice the emperor who is being kicked out, people may criticize you as being heartless. You are not trying to help the emperor. This is a golden opportunity to use the emperor’s authority to put pressure on the numerous feudal lords of the world. “How much fun would it be if we gave the Emperor’s teachings and made them fight and die?”

“It’s so vulgar to even think about it.”

“Shimbae, what?”

“If we issue a doctrine, we will fight and die. Not at all. What kind of power does an emperor who has lost his royal seal have to issue a doctrine? Power comes from a living place.”

Simbae bowed deeply towards Yuan Shao.

“The conqueror of Hebei is here, so how can we place an earthen dragon on top of him!”

“Uh huh, do you know how much help that earth dragon will be to us when you say that?!”

“The emperor must be protected unconditionally! If you don’t want to be humiliated by others later!

“What if you protect the emperor? Oh my, I’m sure Gongsun Zan will come running right away.”

“Run. The Duke of Zhou has already broken Gongsun Zan’s pride in Gye Jiao. The Duke of Zhou is already victorious!”

As Kwak Do, Heo Yu, Bong Gi, Jeon Pung, and Shim Bae all expressed their opinions and raised blood in their necks, Won So shook his head and knocked on the armrest as if he was fed up.

“stop.”

From noble mtl dot com

The crowd suddenly became quiet.

“Jeosu, what is your opinion?”

The only woman among the staff.

He quietly put down the tea he was drinking.

“If you are hosting an emperor, where will the Duke of Zhou place the imperial palace?”

“That’s right….”

Won Soo kept his mouth shut in response to Jeo Su’s question.

“Indeed. Jusu, I understand what you mean.”

Yuan Shao got down from the chair and drew his sword.

“In the end, it’s ‘me’ problem.”

Will elements be able to accept beings higher than themselves?

Even if it was just an act, would he be able to bow before the emperor?

Is it possible for an emperor who is younger than his son to be respectful, courteous, and fulfill the duties of a subject?

Hebei’s loser is the same.

However, Won Soo’s ‘pride’ is a different story.

“Listen carefully.”

Yuan Shao threw the silk on the table in front of him into the air and swung his sword.

Suddenly.

The silk split in half.

Cutting up the teachings written by the emperor means only one thing.

“My emperor is only the deceased emperor.”

Yuan Shao decided on his own direction.

“If you want to give royal command to this Wonwoncho, you will have to bring a teaching paper with a real royal seal, not the royal seal made by Dong Zhuo!”

Yuan Shao ignores the Emperor’s request for support.

* * *

“What should I do?”

“We have to stand up.”

“We have to move quickly before the elements come.”

“This is a golden opportunity. Organize nimble cavalry and send the generals…no, the Duke of Zhou will go directly.”

Cao Cao’s army’s staff unanimously insisted on the emperor’s supremacy.

“Even a toothless tiger is still a tiger. Even if it dies, it leaves behind its skin, so there is absolutely no loss.”

“Talented individuals who are loyal to the Han imperial family will naturally join our military.”

“How about rescuing His Majesty and receiving a teaching letter informing him of what happened in Xuzhou?”

“Good, good! You’re carrying the emperor on your back?! hahahahaha!”

Jojo smiled brightly and turned his head to Sunuk.

“Soonuk! Could it be….”

“In the past, the sun said that Dong-tak said this is the scariest thing.”

Sunwook covered his mouth with a fan.

“You, a traitor?”

“What? Ahahahaha! That’s right! That’s right! The emperor has issued a teaching, and if you don’t follow it, you’re a traitor!”

Anyone who does not follow the emperor’s orders will be a traitor who is not loyal to the imperial family.

“Duke Zhou, will you rescue the Emperor and lend him his mouth and hands?”

“hahahaha, good! Hey, get ready to go!”

Cao Cao straightened his hair and grabbed his beloved sword, Uicheon Sword.

“I will go to see Your Majesty myself. I don’t want to be a traitor. hehehehe.”

Cao Cao receives the Emperor’s instructions and marches toward Luoyang.
