[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition chapter 162

162 – For the Family (1)

That time.

The manor of the Sima family in Onhyeon, Hanae-gun, was in an uproar with family members moving around busily.

“What happened?!”

“It’s no use. Black bandits are everywhere and there’s nowhere to escape.”

“Ugh, how can this be…!”

Sima Fang, the head of the Sima family, bit his nails and ground his teeth.

“The Black Bandit appears at this time. Why on earth…?”

Black bandit.

The Heuksan bandits, who had been notorious in the areas of Byeongju, Giju, and Cheongju for a very long time, showed no signs of abating even though the government forces suppressed them several times.

“The great generals of a country have subdued several times, but how can these guys appear endlessly?”

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao eradicated the Black Bandit bandits in earnest, capturing or killing tens of thousands of them, but after a while they reappeared and looted houses, blocked roads, collected tolls, and arbitrarily extorted taxes.

Even if they were killed, they did not die, but came back to life and created a force, and there was no one who could care about Hanaegun.

“The government forces?!”

“…don’t you know?”

“Ah, that’s right. Since Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are government troops, they are the only ones I can rely on. Damn it!”

In fact, Governor Hanae did not have the military authority to subdue the Heuksan bandits.

Since the person who could be the governor of Hanae is unable to properly manage Hanae, there is no way that an army could be organized to suppress the bandits.

“How big is the size of this Black Bandit?”

“…I said enough.”

“What? This is it? You mean it’s not just work, it’s just this? Ha, hahahaha…!”

Even the number is as high as 20,000.

“If the Black Bandit bandits are united, the number is large enough to overthrow the Hanae army! These rotten bastards. They should be farming, but stealing somewhere…!”

“What should I do about this? If they come to attack the castle….”

“The thieves will not attack the castle. Their goal is to settle down and collect tolls or plunder nearby residents. …At least they will not be able to touch our Sima family’s land.”

“But then doesn’t that mean I can’t deliver this letter?”

“That’s the biggest problem.”

Ha-nae does not have the strength to overcome the thieves on her own.

It would have been better to request salvation from Yuan Shao or Cao Cao and be formally incorporated into their forces.

“Damn it, I told you so quickly to decide whether it was Yuan Shao or Cao Cao…! What is Hanae Governor doing now?!”

“I told them to lock the walls tightly and be faithful to the perimeter.”

“Ha! Even if we take the soldiers out of the castle gate and eradicate the bandits, it won’t be enough…!”

“Wouldn’t Cao Cao and Yuan Shao come to help? Yuan Shao is only a three-day horse ride away, and Cao Cao has an older brother.”

“You don’t know that. If they were going to take care of Hanae, they would have taken care of her a long time ago.”

The Sima family had proposed handing over Xia Nai to a powerful feudal lord for a very long time, but no lord took Xia Nai over.

Since Luoyang burned down and collapsed, Hana became nothing special other than being the closest road to old Luoyang.

A land far from the attention of feudal lords.

It was a perfect environment for thieves to run amok.

Due to the sudden increase in the number of thieves, Sima Fang could not help but tremble while holding the letter in his hand.

“Ha, what can I do with this? Righteousness is waiting for me.”

“Father, will Soja come?”

“Arthur. They killed him knowing that he was our family’s messenger. If he goes out for no reason, he might be taken hostage and demand a ransom. They won’t even let him live.”

“Well, like that….”

Sima Fang was in agony.

What kind of absurd situation is this that your daughter, your family’s hope, has finally written something that you have been waiting for, but you can’t send it to her?

“Something is strange. Heuksanjeok suddenly appears. It’s really strange. Why on earth did Heuksanjeok appear at this time? It’s as if he is trying to prevent this letter, the certificate of acceptance of marriage, from being sent to Jingzhou.”

“Could that happen? It would be a coincidence.”

“Yes. It has to be a coincidence. Otherwise it would be so terrible.”

Sima Fang ground his teeth.

“The current Heuksan bandits are not ordinary Heuksan bandits. You said they set up a base and sat on their butts, right? This kind of movement shows that they are not afraid of the government military, but rather are moving around as if they are ignoring the government military. There must be someone behind it.”

“You mean behind it? Are you saying that someone was disguised as a thief?”

“That’s possible. No, it could be that someone is turning a blind eye to allow the Black Bandit group to run wild.”

Sima Fang looked at the map of the central plains and sighed.

“Is it Cao Cao or Yuan Shao? Who on earth is using thieves to cause trouble here?”

“Cao Cao and Yuan Shao?”

“They are both people who can benefit by mobilizing black bandits to harass Xia Nai. Son, what land in Hebei can Cao Cao occupy now?”

“…This place is just Hanae.”

All the land in Hebei fell into Yuan Shao’s hands.

In particular, all roads along the waterways of the Yellow River were under Yuan Shao’s control.

“From Cao Cao’s point of view, since Yuan Shao occupies all the land to the north, he can devise a strategy to occupy Xinae and target the rear of Yeo Province.”

Sima Fang was already teaching his son, assuming a future where Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would fight.

“If you look at it from Yuan Shao’s perspective, since Cao Cao occupies the entire south, he can use Xia Nai as a stepping stone to advance into Luoyang. Then, he can send troops to the east and west of Luoyang again. Yes, it is the closest passage to Luoyang. “The value remains the same.”

“It is beneficial for both parties to take over Hanae, so why don’t they come to Hanae right away?”

“That is now. Now that Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan are gone, we finally have the time to look at each other.”

“Then why the thief…?”

“Even if we have some free time, we can’t move our troops carelessly, so we’re just trying to justify it.”

Sima Fang trembled at the two.

“Eradicate bandits! Who will say anything if we subdue the black bandits and station their troops on the land? What if bandits may appear again in the future, so what if we say we will manage this land?”

“There is a real possibility that bandits will appear, so there is a good reason for the army to be stationed in Hanae land.”

“Yes. And they are trying to raise their own flag in the river.”

Sima Fang let out a deep sigh.

“Where on earth did the thief come from?”

* * *

“Oooooh!!”

The man opened his mouth wide and screamed.

The enormous amount of gold and silver treasures in front of him was truly jaw-dropping.

“Are you sure this is what ‘him’ sent?!”

“Yes, that’s right. The general was very satisfied with the performance shown by the soldiers.”

“hahahahaha!!”

The man, Sugo, chuckled and patted his chest.

“Cancer! Not like that! Please let him know that I am working hard day and night for him! hahahahaha!”

“Then I’ll go…”

The civil servant, who bowed his head to Su Go, was about to turn and leave when he cautiously opened his mouth.

“Have you by any chance found ‘him’?”

“Um… When you say him, are you talking about him last time?”

“Yes. He has blood that needs to be examined very carefully.”

“We are searching with all our might. But there are too few leads.”

Sugo pointed to Byeongju’s map on the desk with an embarrassed look on his face.

“He went missing nearly 30 years ago. Everyone who knows the clues has died, and there is a high possibility that the person you are looking for has been ‘swapped’.”

“But please find him. He is desperately looking for him.”

“Ha, I just don’t know. Could this be an illegitimate child born to him when he was young?”

“…I would appreciate it if you thought it was that important.”

“Huh. It’s really scary.”

Sugo stuck his tongue out at the civil servant’s very secret words.

“I don’t think there will be such a secret story in the land of Hanae.”

“It’s not certain yet. We’re doing everything we can to find out, but the most certain thing is to investigate the people living in Hanae.”

The civil servant touched his beard.

“If there is anyone who comes out of the river, ask them. If there is someone like that, you must report even the slightest clue.”

“I understand. You just believe in this hard work! hahahahaha. …But, I’m asking this because I’m really curious.”

Sugo pointed at his hair, beard, and down.

“Is there anyone in the world with golden hair?”

* * *

“Fouetchwi.”

Is it a cold?

Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine.

I couldn’t help but shiver as a chill ran down my spine.

“Master?”

Sima Yi took my hand and smiled.

The mouth was clearly smiling, but the eyes were not smiling at all. scary.

“It seems like many notables in Yangyang Castle have received great help from you. Please let us know about the urgent news that has come to Yangyang Castle. Should we just stay still?”

“Ui-ya?”

“Let’s go now. How can I stay quiet when my hometown is being harassed by bandits?”

“Calm down, Eui-ya. Are you doing it because your family is in danger, or because your marriage certificate is in danger?”

“Master.”

Sima Yi responded by placing his hand on his chest.

“Do you think I’m getting so upset over just a piece of paper?”

“Of course not. Our Yi Yi is such a dutiful daughter. Aren’t you worried that the thieves might harm the people of the Sima family?”

“Of course. I’m innocent.”

Sima Yi was confident.

Straightening her back and puffing out her chest, she revealed her confidence to the world.

“How can a girl stay quiet when her parents are in danger?”

“Okay! Let’s go and help. But let’s think calmly.”

Behind him, Zhuge Liang kept licking his lips as if he was itching.

I struck first so that Sima Yi wouldn’t get angry because of Zhuge Liang’s words.

“The number of bandits is as high as 20,000, where will we get support for soldiers?”

“……Master. There is a way.”

Sima Yi was thinking deeply about something and slowly approached Zhuge Liang.

“If you do it like this….”

From noble mtl dot com

“…It’s not bad, but then isn’t it only good for me?”

“I have to protect my family. And first of all, I need to get a definite answer.”

“That’s right. Um…how about doing it like this?”

Whisper whisper.

The two exchanged opinions quickly, and Sima Yi returned to me and boldly made a proposal.

“Master, I have a favor to ask.”

“What?”

“Come to Heodo with me.”

Sima Yi chuckled and pointed north.

“Soldiers just need support.”

“From whom?”

“Of course it’s ‘her’.”

“I need to get a certificate of confirmation for the wedding, but I have to subdue the black bandits near Hanae? How much will it cost? Who should I appoint as the general? Just tell me.”

Surprisingly, Cao Cao readily agreed.
