90 – How to survive in difficult times (1)

“Alcohol, bring me alcohol!!”

The bearded man, Jangbo, shouted loudly and urged him to bring drinks.

“B-But General, because of Prohibition….”

“What? Prohibition? Shut up! It’s the ban I ordered! I can’t even lift it!”

The soldiers were extremely embarrassed.

While Liu Bei and Guan Yu went to practice Yuan Shu, it was none other than Zhang Fei himself who issued a ban on drinking in order to calm himself down.

But do you drink alcohol yourself?

The self-control of the equipment is quite low –

“Uh-huh! General Jang and I are going to talk man-to-man, how can you stop us?!”

“Uh, old man. That….”

“Get out of the way! I, Habi-san, Jo Pyo! I will wash away the bitterness I have with General Jang with alcohol!”

Dokyeom’s old subordinate, Hobby Sang Jo Pyo, opened the warehouse door himself with a sad expression on his face.

“There has been a fight, knowingly or unknowingly, between Mr. Yoo and our official from Danyang! But we cannot live without seeing each other for the rest of our lives! Let’s have a drink this time, let’s resolve the tensions we have with each other, and move forward to a constructive future. Here we go!”

“hahahahaha! You’re such a bastard! Yes, that’s right! Damn! Let’s have a drink with each other and forget about the fights we’ve had so far! hahahahaha!! Open the warehouse! Just for today, just for today. “I’m going to stop drinking again starting tomorrow!”

Wow!

Equipment drank with many people.

Starting with He Bi-sang Jo Pyo, he started drinking and getting drunk with various officials of Western Zhou and the generals under Tao-gyeom.

“Keuuu, I’m drunk… croak.”

The equipment went outside to see Sophie for a moment. Then a civil servant began to approach next to him.

“General.”

“Huh? Oh, aren’t you rich in America?!”

America’s rich.

He was a rich man well known in Western Zhou, and his name was Michuk.

“How is your younger sister? My brother met me a while ago… hahahaha!”

“General. It’s a trap.”

At Michuk’s words, the equipment stiffened in the same position it was in when urinating.

“…what?”

“Over 40 li away, Lü Bu has arrived with an army. He is trying to occupy Hebi and take over Xuzhou. Cao Piao and his group are trying to get the general drunk and secretly open the castle gate.”

“…….”

The equipment became a contemplation.

“…The Joe family betrayed me, is this…? Damn it, this guy Jo Pyo…!”

“Run away first. Come on.”

“Oh, no. My sister-in-law is here. What should I do?”

“For now, I will watch over you. General, please go to Jasa.”

Michuk raised his hand behind his back.

Then, behind him, three men took Zhang Zhang’s weapon and handed it to him.

“Hurry and run away. Hurry…!!”

“K-keuuuch…!!”

The equipment quickly left Hebi Castle.

Michuk smiled bitterly as he watched him run away so shabbily.

“They are too gentle people to live in difficult times.”

“What do you mean, brother? Is there anyone else as vicious as Liu Bei?”

“Bang, is that what he looks like in your eyes?”

“That’s right. As soon as he takes possession of Western Province, he doesn’t discuss it except for those who trust him.”

“This can be happen.”

Michuk waved his hand at the departing equipment.

“Bang. I’m about to take the gamble of a lifetime. I want to invest in a man named Yoo Hyeon-deok.”

“If you invest in someone who has a younger brother like that, you will fail.”

“Just wait and see. Investing in goods and land will last twenty years, but investing in people will last over a hundred years.”

Michuk calmly raised his head to the night sky.

“They are too foolish and frustrating to live in difficult times.”

Jo Piao betrays Liu Bei and opens the door to Hebi Castle.

Lü Bu and Hebi Castle are occupied.

* * *

“While Liu Bei went to attack Yuan Shu, Lü Bu occupied Xuzhou Castle… So, it is said that he occupied ‘Hebi’.”

Lü Bu betrays Liu Bei and takes his castle.

Even if you look at Lu Bu’s actions in many ways, it was an unprecedented act.

There is no such thing as a beast, and his actions deserved to be condemned.

“Liang, what do you think?”

“Lü Bu’s actions are worse than even a golden beast who betrayed trust and humanity.”

Zhuge Liang criticized Lü Bu’s humanity.

“When he was defeated by Cao Cao and forced to wander around the world, he first went to Liu Bei and entrusted himself to him. Even if you repay the favor with vengeance, Liu Bunsuji, how could you commit such a miserable act?”

Zhuge Liang already had a good view of Liu Bei because he protected the people of Western Zhou from Cao Cao.

Since Liu Bei was stabbed in the back by Lu Bu, who he usually disliked, it is completely understandable that Zhuge Liang is angry.

In fact, Zhuge Liang’s thoughts were almost everyone’s reaction.

“Even Liu Bei raised an army to restore the Han imperial family and suppress the traitorous Yuan Shu. But how can they attack the castle in the meantime?”

“Do you know the process by which the castle was taken?”

Sima Yi interrupted Zhuge Liang.

“It is said that the general guarding the castle was drunk. And it is said that someone who was dissatisfied with the general opened the castle gate. It is safe to say that the entry was almost bloodless.”

I don’t know exactly who he was, but he must have often gotten into trouble with alcohol.

“It is certainly problematic that the castle was easily taken. But the fact that Lu Bu attacked Xavi itself is a bigger problem. Was it the fault of the person who stabbed him, or was it the fault of the person who failed to stop the stabbing?”

If a drunk person gets stabbed with a knife, the person holding the knife is obviously at fault.

Liu Bei didn’t do anything bad to Lü Bu, and his only crime was accepting Lü Bu.

“If Liu Bei is guilty of anything, it is only because he was too kind. The crime of caring for humanity and righteousness to the point of being a fool in difficult times.”

Sima Yi no longer argued with Zhuge Liang’s words.

I just touched it knowing that I would lose both logically and emotionally.

The benevolence, morality, and loyalty that Zhuge Liang emphasizes are somewhat distant from Sima Yi’s character.

“Now, if you betray Lü Bu, everyone will think you are Lü Bu. Even when forming an alliance, no one will trust you unless hostages are exchanged. In these difficult times, trying to overcome everything on your own means you will need as much power as Yuan Shao. “It’s impossible to do without it.”

“What if Lü Bu gains power based on Western Zhou?”

“The anti-Lü Bu coalition will be formed again. He was once Dong Zhuo’s son.”

Can Lu Bu truly gain enormous power?

For him, the only way is to solve everything through war.

“Even if Zhou Zhou’s work is successful, none of the feudal lords will embrace Lü Bu anymore. You never know when he will come back to bite those who helped him, so if Lü Bu is defeated and captured, he will not be able to escape the fate of execution. .”

It’s a somewhat extreme statement, but I sympathize with it.

Because I think so too.

“Then, let’s now discuss the situation that will arise due to Lu Bu’s actions. What will happen to Liu Bei’s army?”

“It will be a sack of barley.”

We unfolded a map of the Xuzhou direction.

To get from Xiju Castle and Hebi, occupied by Lu Bu, to Suchun, where Yunshu is located, you have to travel quite a long distance.

Even if the horses ran without stopping, it would be too late for the news that Western Zhou Castle had fallen to reach Liu Bei’s main army.

In three or two days, Lu Bu will gather Hebi’s powerful clans and establish his own forces.

“If Liu Bei and Lü Bu became complete enemies because of this, Lü Bu could send troops towards Liu Bei.”

“Liang, please explain why.”

“Because Lü Bu chose Yuan Shu as his political partner.”

The fight between Liu Bei and Wonsul.

Among them, Lu Bu bet on Yuan Shu.

By betting on Yuan Shu, he took over Xuzhu Fortress.

but….

“My thoughts are a little different. Lu Bu is someone who can throw away Yuan Shu at any time.”

“…….”

Zhuge Liang did not particularly deny Sima Yi’s counterargument.

He betrayed Liu Bei to take over Western Zhou, so if Yuan Shu said that he would harm him in the future or that betrayal would be more beneficial, he would be able to stop it.

We have come to an age where it would not be strange to say that we betrayed someone.

“From now on, Lü Bu will have to withstand all attacks coming against him. No one will be able to get close to Lü Bu.”

“Why?”

“This is because the position was taken away from the position of Zhou Zaza, who was appointed by the Han imperial family, while he was away.”

One imperial family.

Liu Bei is not just a feudal lord.

Previously, Liu Bei was the one who personally inherited the position of Governor of Western Zhou from Tao Qian, and now Liu Bei has officially become the Governor of Western Zhou.

“Kicking out Liu Bei and making himself the Emperor of Zhou is an act of direct opposition to the decision of the Han imperial family. This leads to undermining the authority of the Emperor.”

“I agree with that. If government positions given by the government are arbitrarily changed by local governments, who will recognize the authority of the imperial family?”

“Then, there will be another conflict among the feudal lords. Since Lü Bu has arbitrarily taken away the seal of the Western Zhou government appointed by the emperor, if Lü Bu is left alone, the authority of the emperor will fall to the ground.”

Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Xu all agreed.

“The showdown between Lü Bu and Cao Cao will take place sooner or later.”

“Cao Cao already considers Lü Bu a thorn in his side. He has sufficient justification to use this incident as an excuse to subdue Lü Bu.”

The confrontation between Lu Bu and Cao Cao.

Just like the battle between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, this was a fateful battle that must be fulfilled.

Among all other feudal lords, Lü Bu can only survive if Cao Cao disappears, and Cao Cao can only plan for the future if Lü Bu disappears.

“Anyway, no matter what the situation was, Lu Bu ended up betraying him.”

“It was going to happen from the moment I accepted Lu Bu.”

“Wonjik, what does that mean?”

To Seo, disillusionment with the existence of Lu Bu itself was disillusionment, but he also felt regret for Yu Bi, who accepted the existence of Lu Bu.

“It may be said to be a consequential story, but in the end, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu. Liu Bei must be viewing the world too optimistically.”

“I’m optimistic. Well, it’s frustrating, but…”

“Isn’t living a good life a sin?”

He stood in response to Zhuge Liang’s question and shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s not a sin to be good.”

“But in these turbulent times, it may be a sin.”

In difficult times, being good is a sin.

I completely agree with that statement.

but.

“It’s okay. Each person has a different way of living. Doesn’t Liu Bei have Liu Bei’s way, and Lu Bu have Lu Bu’s way?”

“Are you talking about a way to live? Well, if the equipment dies, Liu Bei will have to die as well.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“The three of us did that when we became sworn brothers.”

ah-

ah–

under the peach tree

We swore to die together

“If the equipment dies, the two people on it also die.”
