[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition chapter 147

147 – Downfall (2)

A river called Sasu flows near Habi Castle. This river called Sasu is unusual in that some of its tributaries flow through the center of Habi Castle.

The land where Habi Castle was built was lower than other places, so it was easy for rivers to pass through. Those who built Habi Castle made water flow through the castle so that water could be supplied at any time so that the waterway within the castle would not be cut off.

So, since ancient times, many people have been talking about what to do to attack a castle with this unusual structure.

Most people agreed that it was effective, but there was a strategy that some people thought was too much.

handmade.

A tactic to prevent flooding by building a makeshift earthen wall where river water flows.

Although it is not a huge flood that covers the entire castle wall, it is inevitable that a huge amount of water will enter the castle.

From noble mtl dot com

Shoot ㅡㅡㅡ!!

Water began to flow into the castle at an incredible speed.

New waterways began to spread to the left and right of the castle, and the water entering the castle flowed through the waterways inside the castle and began to overflow to the left and right.

It is not just because it rains a lot that it overflows.

The generals of Lu Bu’s army who came down in a hurry had their fists shaking as the water had already reached their feet.

“late….”

While they were swimming, the enemy eventually broke the earthen wall and released water.

Because it was the rainy season, we collected what had rained, so the amount of water flowing down the road was beyond imagination.

“Damn, if this continues, won’t even the walls of the castle be washed away by water…?”

“No matter what, it’s not a castle wall! Yes, that should be it….”

The generals all started to get nervous.

If the castle wall collapsed, it was obvious that the enemies would invade through the collapsed wall.

But how do you do renovation work?

The water is already hitting the castle walls.

Furthermore… .

“Look, Songheon. Don’t you think the water is getting more and more?”

“…Now it’s up to my ankles?”

The muddy water slowly began to rise.

The generals rushed with their soldiers toward the beginning of the waterway, and they were surprised to see the waterway under the castle walls.

“Damn, the hole got bigger!!”

“Hey!! Go get something to stop it!!”

“Bring a shield and stop the water!!”

The waterway, which was supposed to have a rectangular structure, was being carved out by the waterway in real time.

As if the strong water entering the narrow entrance could squeeze in further, they forcibly tore down the walls of the waterway and began to widen it left and right.

Gulp, gulp.

As time passed, the walls of the waterway collapsed, and the turbulent water began to flow quickly inside, producing white foam.

Cheol-puk!

The water that used to flow quickly in a straight line now began to spread in all directions.

Soldiers near the waterway had their faces splashed with water from the winding waterway.

“Uh, uhh, that castle wall over there…?!”

Kwa—-!!

With a huge explosion, the castle walls began to shake.

Jin Gung and his generals quickly climbed up the wall, and there were some weapons lined up in Cao Cao’s camp beyond the wall.

“Damn it, a catapult!”

“Teacher Jin, it’s dangerous!”

Zhang Liao quickly grabbed Jin Gong by his waist and dragged him down the castle wall.

The rocks fired by Cao Cao’s army began to hit the left and right walls of the collapsing waterway.

Thump, thump.

The stones falling to the bottom caused the water to flow into the channel.

By pounding on the castle wall itself, not only did the bricks shake more easily in the water in the canal, but it also made the water flowing into the canal go in faster.

Coo coo coo coo.

“Ahh…!”

Jin Gung was frustrated.

“If only I had left earlier…!”

The assembly of the catapult could also be prevented.

The enemy would have dragged the catapult very leisurely.

It could have prevented the waterway from collapsing.

The cavalry was able to rush in and sweep away the enemy’s earthen wall.

If only Lu Bu had come forward.

If Lu Bu had not been crushed by Diao Chan, this could have been prevented a long time ago.

“Ahh…!!”

Jin Gung pulled out his hair.

Where did it really go wrong?

Because of the existence of Choseon?

Or because she is a woman?

“aaah!!”

Jin Gung’s scream soared into the sky.

Regardless of her feelings, the water began to rush into the canal, creeping past her ankles and reaching her knees.

and.

Sararak.

A sky full of clouds.

Truly cruel, white snowflakes were falling from the sky.

It was winter.

* * *

“Hebi Castle is now a living hell. The remaining water under your feet will freeze into thin ice.”

Cao Cao’s army celebrated the success of the waterway collapse operation.

Although the hole in the waterway had grown so large that the castle wall had collapsed and manual work was no longer useful, the castle wall had collapsed beautifully to the point where you could just step on the fallen bricks as if going over a small hill.

Now all that’s left is to climb over the wall and hit Lu Bu’s head.

However, Cao Cao could not carelessly waste his troops here.

“Guo family. Is the Lu Bu army the only ones we’ll be dealing with?”

“No. There are also ones in Hebei and Yeonam.”

“That’s right. Those two men from the abominable Yuan family are still alive and well. There are people in Dongwu who call themselves the Tigers of Jiangdong, and considering the feudal lords spread all over the place, we shouldn’t see blood here.”

Is it because he thought he had actually won against Lu Bu?

Cao Cao chose the path of conserving power.

“How can we achieve victory without putting in effort? Sunyu, what is your opinion?”

“All you have to do is fire arrows and catapults until the enemy surrenders or runs out of anger. Even if it’s boring, it’s best to win without shedding blood.”

Sunyu calmly took out a bamboo stick.

“But this is also hurting the arms of our soldiers in the middle of winter. Wouldn’t our soldiers’ hands be a little sore, and wouldn’t soldiers who are good at shooting arrows only have to shoot a few arrows?”

“Let’s see.”

Jo Jo unfolded the paper given to him by Sun Yu.

She smiled with great satisfaction as she looked at the contents of the paper.

“I guess I know whose work it is.”

Jojo held the paper up to the sun in the sky.

“I will reward the loyal person who brings the head of the traitor Lu Bu with gold and a government post! Wow, this is a strategy that I can do because I am the one!”

“Yes. Only the Duke of Zhou can do this. He said….”

Sun Yu directly told what she said to the person who came up with the plan.

-Most generals would be reluctant to betray Lu Bu. But it’s a hard thing to do. A bounty is being placed on Lu Bu, a high treason criminal. But you have to bet a lot of money. To make people think, ‘Is it worth betraying?’ against Lü Bu, even Lü Bu’s family put up such a high amount of money that they thought it would be acceptable to sacrifice Lü Bu’s head in return for his life, a government position, and a huge amount of money.

“It would be like buying the lives of 20,000 elite soldiers with a few thousand pieces of gold! hahahaha, I owe the lives of countless people.”

“It’s a strategy that the Duke of Zhou must have thought of quickly.”

“Yes, that’s true, but I must be sincerely grateful that you delivered it so quickly. Write this letter and shoot it right now! You are deceiving Lü Bu’s men with gold nuggets!”

Whirling.

A huge amount of arrows flew towards the collapsed castle wall.

A small piece of paper was tied to the arrow’s feather, and Cao Cao himself lifted the bow and shot the arrow.

“hahahaha, this is really interesting. I was irritated because it was winter, but I think the agony in my head is going away.”

“Is it because of what happened in Hebei?”

“okay.”

Cao Cao continued shooting arrows.

“They say Gongsun Zan is being pushed back more seriously by Yuan Shao than expected? That’s right. They say he is locked in a place where he built a wall even bigger than Harvey’s and is waging a defensive battle against Yuan Shao.”

“It’s similar to Lu Bu.”

“Yes. Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan are strong men, but in the end, they are the same in that they do not fight in places where they can use their power and give up in the castle.”

Jojo’s face became saddened.

“Just as we win, Yuan Shao will also defeat Gongsun Zan.”

“We will catch Lü Bu first. Gongsun Zan is also the one who put a chill on Shao Shao in his own way. No matter what, he will be able to hold out against Shao Shao for another half a year.”

“Yes. What a great person Gongsun Zan is. … That’s right, before Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, he was Gongsun Zan’s manager.”

Cao Cao rubbed his chin with his hand and turned his head to the north.

“Gongsun Zan is in danger, so should I tell Liu Bei to go and help him?”

“Would you like to go? They say the people of Xuzhou are important and will try to sit on their butts in Xuzhou.”

“Even if he runs away, he will not go to Gongsun Zan. Isn’t he the one who finds his way to life?”

“That’s right. That’s the problem.”

Whi profit.

“No matter how much I think about it, it seems like he will survive and cause me serious trouble. Yubi, Yubi….”

Jojo pouted his lips curtly.

“Just looking at the elements gives me a headache, so why does even Liu Bei give me a headache?”

Whi profit.

“Ha, I don’t know. Look! Bring more arrows! I need to send some more letters to the castle over there!”

* * *

“Lü Bu is a traitor, and anyone who cuts off his head will be rewarded with gold!”

The contents of the letter spread.

The person who read it was none other than Lu Bu.

“You guys! How dare you carry something like this in your arms?! You guys tried to betray me?!”

“By no means!”

“That’s right! How could we think that?!”

“We just brought it here to report to the general that something like this is coming!”

“this person…!!”

From noble mtl dot com

Lu Bu personally picked up the Bangcheonhwageuk and aimed it at his subordinates.

“I want to slit your throats right now, but I will forgive you just this once! Look, take them to the execution ground and give them 50 lashes!!”

“Oh, fifty…?!”

Even a strong man could faint after ten strokes, but he received as many as fifty strokes.

“General, General!!!”

The three generals shouted at the top of their lungs as they were dragged by the other generals.

Lu Bu huffed and tried to tear the paper, then looked around.

“Teacher Jin…?”

“You’re living in seclusion.”

“…joy.”

Lu Bu snorted and lifted the bottle.

“That’s right, she’s a woman. Hmm, stubborn. What? Courtesy of a military lord? Don’t you look like a man? You’ve been pranked for being plain and using your brains….”

Lu Bu crumpled the paper and headed toward his residence.

Ignoring Mrs. Eom, who had come outside, Yeo Bu went inside and stretched out her arms toward Cho Seon, who was standing in front of the wall.

“Seon-ah!”

“……!!”

Chosun was very surprised.

She was holding the white powder in the paper bag in her hand, and Lu Bu’s heart sank for no reason.

“Well, what is that?”

“…It’s my medicine.”

Diao Chan slowly unfolded what was in his hand.

There was something strange about the suspiciously white powder that could not be considered medicine.

“I was surprised that you suddenly came in. Can I take some medicine for a moment?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Lu Bu could not bear to take one step closer.

For some reason, he felt like Chosun had already tried to poison him, so he couldn’t get closer.

however.

Suuup.

Diao Chan dusted every bit of the white powder into his mouth.

Only then was Lu Bu able to approach Diao Chan with confidence.

“I was surprised. I thought you might be thinking differently….”

“General Yeo. Is that possible? I have felt the same way ever since the moment I first saw you.”

Diao Chan was held in Lu Bu’s arms.

“My feelings toward the general have not changed. Still.”

“okay…!”

Diao Xian, who was held in Lu Bu’s arms, simply traced the white powder on her lips with her tongue.

“From the beginning, that was my only thought.”
