Episode 141. Being naive is also a disease. (2)
The fireman continued to listen to how the battle was going through Eulji as he headed toward the northern battlefield of Yeonju.
“...That’s how it is said that Noshik Jungnangjang was brought to the imperial palace, and Dongtak Jungnangjang took his place.”
“Dongtak Jungnangjang?”
The fireman’s complexion darkened.
I knew very well what kind of person Dong Tak was. In the future, the midfield will be embroiled in turbulence. More than that.....
‘Noshik Zhongnangzang is the teacher of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan.....’
Lu Shik is the teacher of Gongsun Zan, who will be called the tiger of Yangzhou, and Liu Bei, who will later become the king of Shu.
‘In the end, as in history, the emperor who was seduced by the cunning words of the eunuchs made the worst choice!’
I let out a sigh.
I knew that this country would be ruined, but I was shocked to see the process of ruin.
As the painter’s complexion darkened, Eulji cautiously opened his mouth.
“Why are you sighing so suddenly? Do you have a relationship with Nosik Jungnangjang?”
“no. I don’t have a kite... I don’t understand how he suddenly changed his longevity on a battlefield where he was fighting fiercely for a long time.”
“Oh, that was the reason. What do you expect from the emperor who calls the eunuchs his father? Even though the imperial army is doing well in the fight against the commander... the imperial family is as rotten as it is rotten. Even if the chief officer fails to rebel, another chief officer will eventually come out and open a new world.”
“I guess so. From what I can see, the imperial family has rotted too badly.”
The painter was a little surprised by Eulji’s knowledge.
You have the knowledge of the future, so you have the eyes to see the history, but Eulji was a person living in this era without such things. However, at times, he had an insight into the flow of history to the extent that he felt sharp.
Eulji arrived in Taesan-gun with Hwabu and his party.
When I went to the mountain overlooking the capital city of Taesan County and looked at the situation, it was clear that the entire capital city was completely surrounded by Cheongju County.
The painter looked at Eulji with eyes demanding an explanation.
Most of them are going according to history, but the fight between the Yellow Turbans of Cheongju and the Yeonju army in Taesan was not recorded in the historical records.
The location of the fight is different and the timing is different.
Since this is unprecedented in history, of course, you have to predict the outcome of the battle by looking at the battle situation.
“It’s almost like the city is about to fall.”
“While I was on my way to see you, it seems that Cheongju-gun has completely won.”
“Did you miss the opportunity to help because of me?”
“It seems so. If that’s the case, even if I stab Cheongju-gun in the back, the situation won’t change.”
“Then the performance might fall into the hands of Cheongju-gun.”
“Sorry, but it seems so.”
The painter’s complexion changed seriously.
He would be safe, but if that happened, Don Gu-hyeon, ruled by his brother, would have no choice but to be engulfed in war.
‘How am I supposed to do this? Do I really have to take my brother and go to the refuge?’
As the fireman contemplated, he saw clouds of gray dust rising from the plains far to the west.
Eulji found it first before the painter, and widened his eyes in surprise.
“Miss Hwa. I guess the sky hasn’t given up on playing yet.”
The fireman now saw the dust cloud Eulji pointed to.
“It could be a group of Yellow Turban enemies, right?”
“Why would you send more troops when the officer is not an idiot and is already on the verge of capturing the castle? Perhaps some of the imperial army came to help after hearing the urgency of the performance.”
“It seems highly likely.”
As Hwabu and Eulji watched a little longer, they saw the newly appeared group attacking the Yellow Turbans besieging Yeonju.
At that time, the gates of the city were also opened, and Yeontan troops poured out and started attacking the Yellow Turbans together.
“As the bishop said, it seems that the Imperial Army really sent support.”
“Since the war situation has changed, I will also order the messengers to strike Cheongju-gun in the back.”
“Oh~. Yes, now that I think of it, now is the right time.”
Eulji gave orders to his subordinates, who then climbed to the top of a tall tree and waved flags toward the hiding place of the troops.
About 5 minutes after the flag was waved, a group of horses and soldiers charged behind the Cheongju army.
“Fortunately, he’s still breathing.”
“Exactly where did the arrow pierce?”
“I penetrated this part here and came out this way.”
Woo-geum explained the penetration of the arrow using his stomach and back.
‘That place is a very vague part... It could be the stomach or the pancreas or the spleen.’
It seemed that life or death would be determined by which of the three organs the arrow pierced.
‘I’ll have to look at my clairvoyance to decide whether to have surgery or not.’
The painter turned his head and looked at the three disciples who were treating the wounded soldiers for a long time.
“Leave it to a good man who knows Bo and follow me.”
“Your master.”
The two disciples did not raise a single objection and immediately got up from their seats and gathered the tools necessary for the operation.
“Let’s go. older brother.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Woogeum hurriedly headed for the city after the fireman and his disciples followed.

‘Come to think of it, the Judea company isn’t about to die yet... that’s strange.’
The fireman followed Woo-geum and silently recalled in his head how the Jewish company had died.
‘The time when the Yellow Turbans invaded Yeonju was a few months later than now, and moreover, at that time, they joined forces with the soldiers of Gunshin to prepare for it... Maybe because of me, they died a few months earlier?’
He was going to die soon anyway, but now that Woo-geum has come and is being called in for treatment, he has no intention of not giving treatment because he is obsessed with that history.
It was just replaying the memories in my head.
Upon entering the capital, several generals and soldiers looked at the fire crew.
“He is the doctor who will treat you, so hurry up and open the door.”
When Woo-geum went ahead and shouted, he opened the door, but there were clear signs of doubt.
“Several clinicians have already given up on treatment...”
“This is Hwata, who fixed Hwangan Taewi’s class.”
Woo-geum used a much different title than when he used to call a fireman.
Some people were unfamiliar with the word ‘Hwa-ta’, but their attitudes changed in an instant when the word that the violation of the Hwang Wan-taewi was corrected was over.
The fireman entered through the open door and immediately looked at Judae, who was lying vertically on the bed, gasping for breath.
He was the first to approach and used his clairvoyance to examine Jude’s stomach.
‘uh! What kind of spleen is this big? Is it splenomegaly? Judging from the location of the arrow’s penetration, I thought the stomach or pancreas would have been damaged... but luckily only the spleen was injured because it was enlarged.’
If it is only the spleen, it can be removed, so the chances of being saved increase.
The spleen was an organ that had the function of removing dead red blood cells from the body.
If the spleen was enlarged like Judea, it was highly likely that he suffered from anemia due to excessive red blood cell removal.
The fireman hurriedly injected an anesthetic into Judae’s mouth and began to prepare for the operation.
“Get a lantern as soon as you see it, get a charcoal fire you know, and heat your iron.”
“yes. Master.”
“Gentlemen, Daewoo company is in a very critical condition and needs surgery right away. If you continue to stay here, we will not be able to operate, so please leave.”
Despite the fireman’s words, many people did not go out and looked at each other.
Woogeum glared at them.
“What are you doing? Hwata said everyone should leave. If you don’t intend to interfere with our company’s surgery, please leave immediately.”
When Woo-geum came out, everyone who looked at them eventually went out.
Woo Jin stood at the entrance of the door and pulled out a sword from his waist.
“From now on, no one can come inside without my permission.”
“Brother Geum, go outside and close the door.”
“Ugh, okay.”
After a while, the lanterns were lit in the room and the iron was moderately heated over charcoal fire.
“Let’s start the operation now.”
