[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition chapter 93

93 – How to survive in difficult times (4)

“Liu Bei wants to entrust himself to the Han imperial family.”

At Jojo’s words, all the priests nodded in unison.

It was a natural step for anyone to think of Liu Bei entrusting himself to Cao Cao’s army, and Cao Cao’s army was now in a situation where it had to actively support Liu Bei.

“Zhu Gong, can’t we just ignore Liu Bei?”

“No, General. If the person who was trying to carry out the imperial order gets into trouble and just ignores it, who will take the imperial order?”

Because of this reason.

“I don’t like the person named Liu Bei, but I think it would be good to use this opportunity to preserve the dignity of the Han imperial family. Yes, I am protecting the feudal lord in the name of the emperor.”

Jojo grinned while fiddling with the silk lying next to his seat.

“In the future, small and medium-sized warlords will claim to be subjects of the imperial family one by one. When that happens, all we have to do is subdue the country’s biggest traitors.”

“Who is the traitor?”

“I guess we have Lu Bu and Wonsul right now. hehehe.”

Lu Bu’s sin. He expelled the government-appointed governor of Western Zhou and took over Western Zhou on his own.

Wonsul’s sin. I am preparing to raise the title centering on Suchun to the extent that it is heard publicly, and I do not deny this.

These are them for now.

In reality, everyone who acted like a king in the region without the government’s knowledge could be said to be a traitor, but the imperial family granted real government positions to some of them, temporarily acknowledging them as leaders of the region.

“I bestow the position of Yeongyeonmok to Liu Bei, who has become a new imperial subject. And after that, let him sit in Sopae and serve as an embankment against Lu Bu.”

“I guess the situation was reversed.”

Lü Bu stood with his back to Liu Bei to block Cao Cao’s army.

Liu Bei turned his back on Cao Cao to block Lu Bu’s army.

Although the location was the same, Sopae, the alliance relationship was completely different.

“Before we subdue Lu Bu in earnest, we first need to get rid of those around us. Jeongwook, give me guidance.”

“yes.”

As the map of the entire central plain was unfolded, the priests looked at the feudal lords near Yeonju and sighed.

“Hebei’s Yuan Shao. Chang’an’s Li Pavilion, Guo Si. Jingzhou’s Liu Biao. Zhou Bu’s. Xuchun’s Yuan Shu. And there’s one more.”

“Wan’s general?”

“Yes. He is the nephew of Emperor Zhang. He escaped from Chang’an and settled in Wan. Emperor Zhang was said to have been killed while plundering northern Jingzhou.”

“He is a traitor who leads a private army and privately seizes the castle and uses it as his base.”

Cao Cao repeated the general’s name several times and shook his head.

“He is the nephew of Emperor Zhang, who once despised the imperial family. He will definitely try to target the imperial family.”

“It’s dangerous. Jinryu and Heodo could be targeted at the same time.”

As you climb northwest from Wan, you will come across two large forks along the mountain.

To the northeast is Jinryu, and to the southeast is Heohyeon.

“How about we build a fort along the way? Then we’ll be able to deal with it at any time.”

“It’s like stimulating not only longevity but also Jingju’s desire at the same time.”

“Then who should we attack first? Since we are talking about subduing Jangsu and Yupyo, aren’t you worried about Yuan Shao again?”

“Since Yuan Shu is not going to fight Liu Bei right away, there is a possibility that he will send troops to Heo County.”

“hahahahaha, I’m really trying to stab you in various places.”

JoJo stood up with a refreshing smile.

“But now that it’s harvest time, you won’t start a war, right?”

“Yes. Even if we send an army into our territory to harvest, there will only be leftovers from what has already been harvested.”

“With winter coming, war will not break out any time soon.”

“Good. Good. Then….”

Jo Jo pointed to a place marked ‘Heodo’.

“After securing the direction of each region, we will go to Heo Island with the Emperor.”

It is said that there are many traitors in the world, but in order to subdue them, it is necessary to let the world know that the imperial family is still alive and well.

“There will be a lot of farmers out on the land during harvest season, so they will cheer on their own without any special mobilization.”

From noble mtl dot com

Cao Cao, transfer the capital. The capital was changed to Heohyeon and the name was changed to Heodo.

* * *

Sophistication.

This place, which is a little small to be called a castle, but a little big to be called a fortress, was a place that seemed to prove that ‘this is at least what a castle is.’

The people who guard Sopae Castle are Yeon Yeon-mok and Liu Bei.

Although he was appointed as Yeongyeonmok at Seoju Jasa by the government, he could be seen as being demoted, but he did not have any complaints about it.

You can be disappointed and disappointed with the imperial family, but you cannot be dissatisfied.

Because his brother-in-law made a mistake and an accident occurred.

Rather, I am just grateful to the imperial family for giving me another chance to perform as a performer despite my one mistake.

“Hot, haaa!”

The bearded man, Jang Gi, sweated profusely and wielded his hat to train the soldiers.

Soldiers sometimes fell to the ground from exhaustion due to his intense training.

“Wake up! Hurry up! If you deal with Lord Lu Bu at this rate, you will lose your head in no time!”

The equipment trained the soldiers relentlessly.

The intensity was so severe that some people left midway, but no one could say anything about the rough training of the equipment.

“Hurry up and move! Next group! Come out! If you guess me, he gets a break today!”

The equipment was holding a baton and engaging in a series of battles against five people. Many soldiers formed a group and tried to defeat Zhang Zhang, but no one could defeat Zhang Zhang.

Serious gear without alcohol.

No one dared to defeat him easily.

“Unjang.”

“Yes, brother.”

“If the current equipment were to fight Lu Bu, who would win?”

“At least three hundred won will hit the window.”

“Then what happens after that?”

“Whoever gets tired of the horse first will lose.”

“Ha. It depends on words, not people.”

Liu Bei, who was patrolling the barracks undergoing training, lamented when he saw the cavalrymen in training.

“In the end, the problem is that we don’t have a foundation. It’s a shame that Jojo accepted us, otherwise we might have had to live on the streets and eat pine needles.”

“… A significant number of soldiers from Western Zhou also deserted. This may be presumptuous, but it would have been quite dangerous if it had not been for Cao Cao’s support.”

“That’s right. It’s not Cao Cao, it’s the imperial family.”

“I’m sorry, brother.”

Is it a matter of pride, or is it loyalty to the Han imperial family?

Liu Bei repeatedly emphasized that it was the imperial family, not Cao Cao, who supported them.

“Cao Cao is also just a vassal of the imperial family. No matter how long she flies, the fact that she is under the Emperor does not change.”

“…But brother, what you said last time when you were drunk.”

“Uh huh.”

Guan Yu kept his mouth shut at Liu Bei’s words.

It was a word that was problematic in many ways to say in a large place where other people were present.

Especially in front of ‘Cao Cao’s volunteer soldiers’ whose equipment is being trained.

“Just as the attack on Yuan Shu that Cao Cao ordered us to do was, at least on the surface, an imperial order, we should likewise think of them as reinforcements sent by the Emperor.”

Liu Bei grabbed his wrist and gritted his teeth.

“Yes. We are the reinforcements of the Emperor who will defeat that fatherless bastard, Lü Bu.”

Liu Bei was clearly anxious.

Normally, he would have stopped the training, saying, ‘I can just stop’ about the rough training of the equipment, but Yuvi’s eyes had also rolled back.

Because he didn’t know what kind of situation his wife would go through after being left behind in Harvey, he couldn’t help but stay up at night out of anxiety.

“What if Lu Bu even touches my wife with a finger?”

Liu Bei turned his head towards the west.

“By any means necessary, I will definitely cut off Lu Bu’s head.”

At that time, Hebi Castle Barracks in Xuzhou.

“We must use Liu Bei’s wife as a hostage and make him attack Cao Cao.”

“No, isn’t that too much?”

“How can we go too far? Our public appearance has already hit rock bottom.”

“If you take someone else’s family hostage, your family will also be taken hostage.”

In the barracks of Hebi Castle, three generals who had gathered for military training were talking to each other.

The topic is how to persuade Liu Bei.

The method was, of course, to use the hostage, Lady Gam, Liu Bei’s wife.

“What would the old bookman say?”

“They said they couldn’t hold them hostage and let them go. If you look at them, the old man is really cruel. They are the same women.”

“Yes. You know what happens when a female general sees pretty women.”

Follicle.

Pretty Woman.

…If it weren’t for her value as Liu Bei’s wife and hostage, she would probably have suffered great harm.

“Still, I heard that General Lu treats Liu Bei’s wife with the utmost respect?”

“This man. What does it mean for the general to treat you with the utmost respect? The general’s illness has worsened again. It’s just like what he did to Mrs. Cho.”

“Is that really what you said about sending silk and grain to Lady Gam’s house? That’s crazy. You took two wives and now you’re trying to steal someone else’s woman as well.”

The subordinates shook their heads.

“I’m glad she’s not my wife.”

“Oh, of course.”

“…….”

One general could not bear to open his mouth. He looked at the relieved man with a truly pitiful gaze, but soon corrected his expression and tried to smile.

“By the way, Yubi’s wife… is she really pretty?”

“Huh. Honestly, she’s much prettier than the general’s eldest sister-in-law.”

“…I heard you’re comparable to Mrs. Chu?”

The three men swallowed at the same time.

“Then isn’t that what you get?”

“That’s it. Uh-huh, man. I’m not saying anything dangerous.”

“You might not know. The general enjoys being lecherous so much. Maybe the reason he was so determined to catch Cao Cao was because Cao Cao was a woman.”

“hmm….”

The generals could not deny the thoughts in each other’s heads.

“Well, you all know that if a general meets a woman, he’ll die.”

“Okay. So, General Yeo… hmmm. General Yeo is very revealing about women.”

“From what I hear…yikes.”

The generals quickly hid their expressions.

Among the group of people coming to the barracks was Lu Bu’s first wife, whom they were talking about, and there were other beauties.

“…Wow.”

A beauty who suits the pink color so well.

Anyone who looks at her will know what Gyeonggukjisaek is like.

And another woman next to him.

“…Wow, write.”

“What is Lady Gam’s name?”

“What did you say? It was Yu or Woo. Anyway…wow.”

The three men just stuck out their tongues and licked their lips.

“I am below General Yeo, but if a wife like that is taken away from me, I would really turn my head.”

The woman, Lady Gan, followed Lu Bu’s wives with a gloomy face and only looked towards the west.
