[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition chapter 144

144 – Battle of Lubu (11)

“I have no intention of running for office, and even if I do, I have no intention of doing so under Duke Yu.”

Just in case Zhuge Liang got more angry, I pushed Zhuge Liang behind me and stepped forward.

“Isn’t it quite an adventure to ask someone who belongs to Cao Cao’s army to come with you? If I tell Cao Cao about this, what do you think will happen to Duke Yu?”

“He is probably not a member of Cao Cao’s army. Isn’t he a very special person whom Cao Cao specifically allowed to join the army?”

Liu Bei was a person with better observation skills than expected.

“At first, I thought you were ‘him’ in disguise.”

“…Him?”

“Yes. The person who lives at the highest point in the midfield.”

“under.”

Even if you overestimate it, wouldn’t you be overestimating it too much? There is too much suspicion.

“If it were him, wouldn’t he have had a fearsome general with him behind him?”

“I thought even that was controlled by Jojo. hahahaha. I knew that wasn’t the case, but that made me even more curious. What kind of person you are.”

“therefore-“

“I know. I won’t try to persuade you any further. But would you at least listen to my story?”

He said he had no intention of persuading him, but asked him to listen to the story.

I plan to shake your heart with a story.

“Master.”

“It’s okay. If you feel like you’re shaking, just hold me tight from behind.”

Zhuge Liang grabbed my collar tightly.

The force of the hand was so strong that my clothes were swept backwards.

‘It doesn’t have to go to this extent.’

I will not accept Liu Bei’s proposal for any reason.

‘There is no reason to become Liu Bei’s advisor.’

Yuan Shao did not come to make a suggestion, so what would be the use of Liu Bei’s proposal if his foundation was so humble?

It’s not that I have the intention of being loyal to Liu Bei for the rest of my life, and Liu Bei is not the one who serves the emperor in place of Cao Cao and commands the world, so what am I doing with Liu Bei?

Moreover, even I feel this way, so which of my disciples would I send to Liu Bei’s side?

“Tell me about it.”

“Do you think Cao Cao will bring peace to the world?”

“yes.”

“why?”

“Because we are serving the Emperor.”

If you ask me to give a reason, I can give countless reasons. However, if Liu Bei were to give a convincing reason for my story, he could also use the Emperor as a shield.

“I am a citizen of a country. A true loyalist is someone who saves the emperor of a country and spreads Han’s reputation throughout the world.”

“What if that loyalty is false?”

“Even if it’s negative in moderation….”

“What if it is not loyalty to Han, but an attempt to greatly increase one’s power by using His Majesty?”

“…….”

I had that thought once.

If a country finds it difficult to rebuild, what will Cao Cao do?

Will he find another imperial bloodline of the collapsing Han and make him emperor, or will he start a new era himself?

In any case, countries are bound to fall and be reborn, and all previous kingdoms rose and fell.

It could be an empire that collapses in a hundred years, or it could be a great empire that lasts for hundreds of years.

After ruling the world, Cao Cao would have many options.

As someone who met Jojo in person, I couldn’t erase that thought. The ambition hidden in the smile on your face.

but.

“There are no ifs.”

“her….”

“If there is a possibility, that will happen later. Do you know? Cao Cao is a man with unparalleled loyalty in the world, and will die leaving a will telling his children to protect the Emperor even after he dies.”

“I’m not that type of person.”

“How can you be so sure? By conversation? By facial expressions? Did Cao Cao himself say that he would usurp the throne?”

“…….”

Liu Bei didn’t say anything.

“How do you know that Cao Cao harbors a traitor?”

“…Is it possible to answer the question, ‘I think I’ll know it when I see it?’

You will know it when you see it.

I also agree with this.

Cao Cao’s loyalty to one country was not evident.

Rather, he seemed to be full of concerns about how to use the Emperor of Han to turn the situation to his advantage.

“If you judge someone by looking at their face, you can think that way.”

however.

“That’s just a prediction. What happens in the future hasn’t happened yet, and no one knows how the human heart works. If Cao Cao truly harbors a traitor, how about Duke Yu give Cao Cao some sincere advice?”

“…….”

“Even if it means losing one’s own head, if there is someone who thinks like that, wouldn’t he or she be a true servant of Han to do something, whether it be an appeal or advice? I am not.”

Yu Fei looked uncomfortable.

I pushed him even harder.

“You probably can’t do it. You’re afraid that Cao Cao will kill Duke Yu. We haven’t even established a foundation for power yet, so you’re worried that you’ll lose everything and die in vain.”

“Who doesn’t?”

“Yes, but if it is for political reasons, and especially if it has something to do with the blood of the imperial family flowing through Duke Yu, then the story is special.”

The life of a rural villager.

The life of a student.

The life of the royal family.

Even if we are the same person, we are bound to have different lives and goals.

“It seems that Lord Yu is in a low place and is looking at me from a high place. However, I plan to live as low as I am. They say I am a dragon-headed person, right? I am not a dragon’s tail or a snake’s head, but I am a person who is satisfied with just the head of an earthworm. .”

“…How could it not be possible?”

“Yes. I don’t know why Lord Yu looks favorably on me, but it doesn’t seem like he is, at least not now.”

I firmly drew the line… .

‘But they’re royal family.’

Just in case, let’s leave one escape route.

“But at least using this opportunity as an opportunity, I would like to give Yu Gong a small, albeit small, gift.”

“What is?”

“This is the greatest value that Duke Yu might be able to gain through this subjugation of Lü Bu.”

In fact, Zhuge Liang has already told me.

However, Zhuge Liang was still holding me tightly from behind, and expressed his intention by gently pulling my clothes.

From noble mtl dot com

‘You mean I can tell you now?’

I received permission, not Zhuge Liang’s permission.

Perhaps this may be the last gift she gives Yubi.

“After subjugating Lü Bu, if Cao Cao invites you to Hedo, go to Hedo without fail. Then, meet His Majesty in person, and then receive recognition from the emperor in person as a member of the imperial family.”

“…Do you know what happens when an eagle flying high in the sky is locked in a cage?”

“Isn’t an eagle capable of eating enough food to fill its stomach and destroying the cage?”

“Ha, really….”

Yu Bi’s face was still full of regret.

“It would be nice to have a crow by my side to share my opinions with.”

“If you look carefully, you’ll find it somewhere.”

“…….”

Yuvi eventually laughed and shook his head.

“I don’t think it was like this when I was courting my wife.”

“I’m sorry, but I already have a wife.”

“I’m just kidding, just kidding. Sigh. I’m really, truly disappointed.”

Yuvi quenched his appetite.

“If you were a woman, would you have followed me?”

“Now you think I’m rejecting your offer because of my gender?”

“yes.”

“…Well, let’s put it that way.”

The quickest way to end this conversation would be for me to become a snob.

“I am working at the academy. Someday, if Lord Yu settles down somewhere like other feudal lords, then I will write a letter of recommendation to any student who wants to work for Lord Yu.”

“…Is that so.”

Liu Bei still felt sad, but it was over now.

“Thank you for that too, sir.”

“Why am I Gong Yu’s teacher?”

“I may be grumbling, but in the end, you taught me how to live, so I should live based on those teachings. hahahaha, if I’m trapped in a cage, I’ll find a way to escape on my own. However.”

Liu Bei took the gun and smiled confidently.

“Someday. If Yu Hyeon-deok has a power greater than that of Cao Cao, more talent than Cao Cao, and a power more powerful than Yuan Shao while serving the emperor!”

Liu Bei stretched out his hand forward.

“At that time, wouldn’t you like to see the world together from the same sky as me?”

“…If it’s such a constructive future, there’s no way I’d turn it down.”

I held Yubi’s hand.

Although his hands were quite strong, they were quite warm even in the middle of winter.

“Thank you. Okay then.”

Liu Bei turned and left.

I waved my hand at him and turned to Zhuge Liang, who was still on guard.

“Are you satisfied now?”

“…He’s a pitiful person.”

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a bitter smile.

“If a person like that becomes a lord with as much power as Yuan Shao, at least there will be fewer people who suffer injustice. But.”

“but?”

“Someone other than me will help. Because I am the one who wanted to help.”

Zhuge Liang turned his head to me with a confused face.

“But not now. I have something I want to protect.”

“What do you want to protect? What is it?”

“Mr. West.”

“…this.”

I ruffled Zhuge Liang’s hair.

“After talking seriously, I started to relax and immediately said ‘Sir’. Let’s go. I’ll pack my bags and get ready to leave soon.”

“…You’re always serious.”

I headed to the military camp with Zhuge Liang, who grumbled until the end.

but.

For some reason, I couldn’t help but look at Yubi’s drooping back as he left.

For some reason, I feel like this will be the last time I see this.

“Brother, where have you been?”

“hahahaha, Unjang.”

Yuvi slumped down in his chair.

Liu Bei’s younger brother, Guan Yu, quickly sat down with Liu Bei.

“I thought it was a fateful meeting, but it seems I was the only one who thought that.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Isn’t there something called human feeling? A feeling that everything will be fine in the future as long as there is this person. I felt that from a young man.”

Liu Bei leaned against the back of the chair and sighed deeply.

“For some reason, I felt like I could accomplish anything if I had that confidence.”

“Is it really just because of that?”

“…No.”

Yu Bi was fiddling with the teacup on the table next to him.

“Did you say he was the Golden Sun? This time, Cao Cao’s staff and Cao Cao paid a lot of attention to him, so I watched him closely. He seemed like a man with great talent. This was especially true of the child he was raising as a disciple next to him. So even if he was a little ugly, “I hung on in a hurry.”

“There’s no need for you to go to such lengths. I’ll go and get him.”

“Don’t do that. Don’t say that to Ikdeok either. He says he doesn’t like me, so what can I do?”

Yuvi raised his head towards the ceiling.

“They say our forces are so weak that they don’t want to come to us.”

“Well, like that…!”

“hahahaha. Don’t worry. It will change in the future. Let’s just keep today’s events in mind for a little revenge later. I might be crowned king someday, right? Let’s see what that guy does then too.”

Liu Bei’s eyes were serious.

“If I tell you that I will be called to government office after unifying the world, aren’t you looking forward to what I will say then? hehehe.”
