[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition chapter 123

123 – Shinya’s Cat (6)

it is raining. Clouds filled with rain began to wet the ground, and the ground was so wet that muddy water splattered just by stepping forward.

After the battle is over.

The sky is pouring down rain, perhaps mourning the deaths of so many young people.

I took my umbrella and looked down at the land where the battle had ended.

I can’t go down directly, but I am looking at the battlefield from the place where I waved the standard.

blood.

dead body.

It’s full of death.

During the war, I was completely unaware of the shouts and the sound of metal clashing, but it was clear that people were dying in the midst of it.

The number of dead people is by far the most overwhelming number I have ever seen in my life.

I realized it again.

The horrors of war.

How crazy it is to fight and kill someone.

The result of the war was corpses that did not feel any sign of life at all, and were left out in the cold rain, waiting to be eaten by insects and animals.

‘This is war.’

A battlefield I have avoided countless times since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

This place, filled with only human death, is a scene of terrible death where no one knows who died or how.

As the cavalry advanced, he was killed by his horse.

I wonder if Gamnyeong’s twin iron play has made him lose his temper.

Either that or he died from an arrow fired by the archers I personally commanded.

He threw away his sword and ran away, but was executed as an example to the officers of Wonsul’s army.

I don’t know.

I don’t want to know.

It is not important how the countless bugs caught in a spider’s web were eaten by the spider.

The important thing is that the spider web was created in a place where there were many insects.

I am the one who set up the plan that caused so many people to die here.

While sending a few letters from the table, he spread a web, where he waited for enemies to come and eat him.

It’s not food.

Those who sat on the spider’s web were like mantises who came to cut the web and take their place, and the spider did its best to protect its web.

Just like that, the spider repelled the intruder.

The only thing the captured mantis says is to be eaten.

Just one day.

In fact, the battle, which lasted less than half a day, achieved a major victory with approximately 1,000 of our Yupyo-Jangsu combined forces killed and 10,000 of Wonsul’s troops killed.

The generals named Noebak and Jinran were chased by the allied forces and fled to Yeonnamseong, and most of Yuan Shu’s troops fled or were taken prisoner.

Of course, we took no prisoners.

They chased them all away, leaving only their weapons behind.

-No, then what should we do?!

-Go back to Yeonam, or go back somewhere else. Of course, if you say you are going to Yeonam, I will kill you. Traitors from China.

-What should we do? We too were forcibly captured!

-It’s none of our business.

We cold-bloodedly kicked out the prisoners.

-You can’t go! Whether you go and die or die here, it’s the same! If you tease me, I’ll kill you.

-When they save you, just go!

-Hit, did you hit?!

Moonbing and Gamnyeong personally raised their fists to chase away those who were lying still and trying to force them.

-Who are you hitting on me-

-The traitor must be killed.

Suddenly.

In the process, some people actually killed people.

-This is the place where Jingju Jasa, Yu Gyeong-seung, rules. You who came to plunder this place, and you who attacked the defenders who came to protect Jingju, are traitors to Han.

-They are no different from the Yellow Turban Reds. Although we are careful not to kill unnecessary people, we do not hesitate to kill when necessary.

-Who are you, nitpicking over our deaths?

-The thieves talk a lot.

It could have been seen as an unnecessary killing, but if it had not been so, all the prisoners might have been lying down on the battlefield.

-If you get upset, go to Wonsul and argue. If you don’t want to die, get out! If you don’t run away for ten counts, I’ll kill you!

-Ah, that’s this guy. I’m going to kill you after I count ten?

-General!

-It would be embarrassing if I kept him alive for no reason. Oh, there are already people running away? Now, do you count? Ten, seven, three, two-

Our purpose is to drive out the marauding armies, not to take their weapons as trophies or to accommodate refugees who have abandoned their military service in China.

-If you wanted to attack someone else’s land and take their life, you should risk your own life too. In these difficult times.

Survival of the fittest.

In difficult times, only those who can survive will survive.

-Now, run away. Do you know anything? If ten people run away, maybe three of them will survive?

The reason we kicked them out was selfish on the surface, but in reality it was to save them.

‘Wonsul will soon fail.’

The Middle Kingdom now has only one path left to lead to destruction.

Who would believe that China’s military power was so strong when the regular army died brutally due to a plan orchestrated by a single student from the countryside?

If the generals under Yuan Shu are not extremely loyal, they will plot a rebellion or do it secretly and leave Yuan Shu.

Then, in the end, all that remains are the soldiers of Yuan Shu’s army who followed Yuan Shu and fled from Suchun.

How many of them are truly loyal to Yuan Shu?

Shouldn’t a soldier working in Wonsul-gun have changed the ‘Han’ engraved on his heart to ‘Jung’ overnight?

Those people all threw down their swords and wanted to surrender. We aimed our spears and shot arrows at those running away to drive them all out.

‘It’s good to see the population of Shinya increasing, but the former soldiers of Wonsul County are in decline.’

No matter how underdeveloped Xinya is, it cannot accept those who follow Yuan Shu’s Chinese dynasty as refugees.

Even if they left their hometown and were forcibly conscripted, that is their situation.

It’s a pitiful situation, but we, not even our country, can’t take care of thousands of people.

‘In difficult times, you have to live selfishly. ‘It’s up to me to live and see, who will look after others first?’

The situation is different from the time of Western Zhou when a large number of refugees occurred and there was no choice but to accept them.

So we killed all the refugees.

…

correction.

Officially, everyone was killed.

I decided to kill it.

The number of soldiers among Yunsul’s army who returned alive was approximately 4,000.

Of the 10,000 soldiers killed by Yuan Shu, less than 6,000 actually died.

The rest will all have run away or dispersed.

If the soldiers who fled from the battle here do not return to their female form, it would be the same as the death of the soldiers of Wonsul’s army.

Who would consider a soldier who threw down his sword and ran away from the battlefield as a living person?

From noble mtl dot com

It’s so pitiful that I want to save it.

But the current situation in Jingju makes it difficult to accept them.

I am not a member of Jingju, so I can’t just let thousands of soldiers into Shinya.

-There is no need for Wonsulgun’s prisoners. Kill them all.

Although I organized the plan, our group was called ‘Yupyo County’.

Yupyo’s opinion is important, and even if I decide on a certain direction, that’s just my opinion.

“Kill him and get rid of the aftereffects. I only heard about it, but I never thought it would be like this in reality.”

Yoo Pyo’s idea was to ‘cut the discord in the bud.’

I used Mrs. Chae to encourage him to think that way.

In this land, there are people who died fighting, but there are also people who were hunted and died while running.

To make them truly run away.

To strongly show that we were really going to kill, we actually killed those who were running away.

Gamnyeong, Wenbing, Hwangjo, Jangsu, …and Sima Yi followed after them.

It also made me follow in their footsteps.

Before leaving, Gafu said:

“Once you start biting, you can’t show mercy to someone who is going to make a life-or-death decision. Ha.”

Would anyone approach the person who stabbed him with a knife to kill him with conversation rather than with a knife?

Who would be the first to open their arms and seek a peaceful solution?

Even if the opponent is the enemy of the Great Heavenly Force?

‘This is a difficult time in which only the selfish can survive.’

Mercy is not an easy task for people to survive in these difficult times.

‘We are living in an age without humanity and justice.’

-Mercy is given after I am safe, Geumtaeyang. I have to live first. Take that thought.

Those who survived this battle may point their swords at us and try to assassinate us for personal revenge.

-We kill to live.

So I decided to kill them all.

I don’t want to kill you, but I’m trying to kill you.

It’s a contradiction.

You cannot walk a completely evil path or a completely good path.

Trying to kill two birds with one stone, I ended up missing both, so I ended up experiencing the contradiction of telling the enemy to chase, but then providing a way for the enemy to survive.

“As expected, I….”

“Master.”

From the rain, a quiet voice was heard.

“You’re here.”

In the dark.

Sima Yi, illuminated by the moonlight, which seemed particularly red today, was full of red energy overall.

“Are you crying again?”

At Sima Yi’s words, I couldn’t bear to open my mouth.

“A person died.”

“Yes. They deserved to die.”

“I killed someone.”

“If we hadn’t killed them first, they would have tried to kill us first.”

“First, before even having a conversation, I picked up the knife.”

“How can someone who wields a sword and wants to swing it calm down with words?”

“Ui. I am a hypocrite. I am a murderer who killed countless people just to live. This water flowing through my hands seems as red as blood.”

“Master.”

Sima Yi folded his umbrella and came next to me.

“The rain is strong. No one will know where the sound is coming from.”

Sima Yi leaned next to me.

“So, you can say whatever you want to me. You can tell me as much as you want. The sound of the rain is heavy, and the sound doesn’t easily come out outside this umbrella.”

“Uiya.”

I am.

“I am a disgusting beast. I killed them all to survive. I am a beast.”

“I know. Master and I also became beasts in order to survive. In the future we live in, the memories of the countless people who died here will be with us for the rest of our lives.”

“We killed them so we could live.”

“Because difficult times are like that. I am also an animal. I will continue to be like that in the future. If someone tries to invade Master and my land again.”

Sima Yi held my hand holding the umbrella.

“I will become an animal together.”

“Uiya.”

It’s so disgusting.

“…thanks.”

I was comforted by Sima Yi’s words, reassured, and justified in my actions.

-It’s not my fault.

Although I was relieved to think this, I was so embarrassed.

“…It looks like it’s going to rain a bit hard today.”

The rain never seemed to stop.
