Chapter 226

Episode 226. The answer is unexpectedly not far away

. You can’t talk about deep things outside.”

“Well, what the hell are you trying to say?”

“Do you know how the world is going these days?”

“I know roughly.”

“It would be easier to talk to you if you knew. Not too long ago, a large-scale rebellion by the Yellow Turbans broke out on the Cheongju side.”

“I heard that a large army of hundreds of thousands rose up and occupied the capitals of Cheongju in an instant and increased the number of people.”

Hwabu always accompanies Eulji, so there is no shortage of information about big things happening in various states compared to Jojo.

“If they occupy all of Cheongju, they will go beyond Yeonju and even invade the imperial palace.”

“It won’t be easy for Yeonju because there are Yeonjumok bonds and Jebuksang gun barrels. And to go to the imperial palace, you have to pass through Donggun here, but my older brother won’t be alone.”

“My concern is more about the Yellow Turbans in Cheongju than about Lee Gak and Gwaksa’s group. Aren’t they using the dead Dong Zhuo’s power to expel Lü Bu and capture the emperor?”

“Are you thinking of saving the emperor?”

“My heart is full, but I am worried that Cheongju-gun will cross over to Yeonju, so I can’t really do this or that.”

“What did your brother’s mother-in-law say?”

“Opinions are divided. Some say we need to save the emperor right away, some say we need to help Yeonju to stop the Yellow Turbans, and some say we need to wait a bit longer.”

“Well... it’s not an easy decision.”

“That’s why my head hurts these days.”

The fireman thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“In my opinion, even if my brother doesn’t go to the imperial palace, I think someone from the other feudal lords will go.”

“I guess so. If you hold the Emperor in your hands, you will immediately gain the same power as Dong Zhuo.”

Cao Cao did not express that he would save the emperor, but that he would put it in his hands. It was to make the fireman more clearly aware of what his ambition was.

The painter realized Jojo’s intentions and sighed briefly.

“However, that feudal lord could die like Dong Zhuo again to other feudal lords with other ambitions.”

Jojo opened his eyes in a moment of realization.

“If you mobilize your forces and advance to Chang’an, drive away the hordes of Li Ge and Guo Si, and have the emperor in your hands, if you don’t have the strength to protect it... even I can end up like Dong Zhuo?”

“yes. Objectively yes. Even though my brother absorbed the black bandits and raised an army of over 100,000, the other feudal lords are also formidable. Even if only the two of us unite, it will be difficult for you alone.”

“If so, what should I do?”

Jojo knew that the painter had some truth, but on the other hand, he was afraid that other feudal lords would become like Dong Zhuo after taking the emperor.

The painter looked at Jojo and pointed out the most important point.

“older brother. The most important thing for my brother right now is not to claim the emperor, but to have power that other feudal lords cannot surpass even after taking the emperor. If you have the power, the imperial palace can become your brother’s bedroom at any time.”

“Have strength? However, if the military is conscripted beyond this level, the people’s livelihood will collapse.”

If the basics of life collapsed, the people and soldiers could suddenly turn into Yellow Turbans like Cheongju now.

For that reason, the feudal lords do not mobilize more troops than they can.

“There is no need to conscript the people. I heard the other day that he captured a group of black bandits and converted them into soldiers. If we capture the Yellow Turban Reds of Cheongju as prisoners and convert them into soldiers, it will be much more powerful than we are now.”

“There are a lot of black mountain enemies claiming to be the boss, so it was worth trying because they are scattered all over the place, but the Yellow Turbans in Cheongju are over 300,000 and they are tightly united.”

“Your brother is also big enough to be my brother-in-law. Of course, it will be bigger in the future.”

After Jojo left, the painter began to think deeply about Meniere’s disease.

A disease that is known to have no cure in the future.

‘The root cause is swelling of the endolymphatic tube in the semicircular canal and the cochlea...’

Endolymphatic decompression surgery is not only a difficult operation to perform at the current level of medical facilities, but also the results announced in the academic world in the future were not very good.

Above all, it is not the field of fire department.

‘If it’s a serious situation, I’ll have to do endolymphatic decompression surgery, but now that I’ve collapsed for the second time, I can still afford to look for other options.’

In the past, when I was agonizing over the aftereffects of Sun Ce’s mother’s brain surgery, I got an answer from an unexpected place. I thought maybe if I thought about it like that, I might get an answer.

“Oh boy.”

“Your master.”

“Go out and get some monkeys.”

But apart from that, you also need to practice surgery.

“A monkey? All right.”

Obo tilted his head, but he didn’t ask what it was for and he brought three monkeys.

The painter gave one of the monkeys an anesthetic and put them to sleep, then shaved the hair behind the ears. and put the knife

Sew. Woouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh...

When I raised a bet while taking a long, deep breath, the tip of my sword rose up in anticipation.

I don’t know when, but after cutting countless numbers, I realized that the cutting was much better if I concentrated my mind and made a bet.

At first, it was possible to easily cut out stiff abdominal muscles or tendon shafts using this phenomenon, and now even bones can be cut out.

squeak.

The fireman’s knife moved like lightning, slicing through the monkey’s scalp and splitting its bones.

In terms of humans, it is simply cutting off the mastoid process.

When the incus was cut and exposed, the horizontal semicircular canal and the posterior semicircular canal were visible.

‘Fortunately, the mastoid facial nerve trunk and sigmoid sinus were not touched.’

The painter thought that this was a monkey’s head, but it was a human head, and tried to avoid mistakes as much as possible.

If a hole was pierced with an awl and the bone was split with a chisel, the bone fragments could enter the tympanic chamber, but there was no such risk because the cutting was done by raising the sharpness of the blade.

After exposing the endolymphatic sac under the S-phase venous sinus, the incision was made very easily by slashing with a knife.

Lymphatic sacs and lymphatic vessels are much weaker than weak veins, so they cannot be sutured with thread.

The painter made a T-shaped tube by washing the thin film inside the egg with distilled alcohol while Obo was rescuing the monkey. It was attached to the incision and healed on its own over time.

In the future, I would have used a drug containing steroids, but that was not possible, so instead I applied a drug that had a similar effect made from licorice.

Finally, the surgery was completed by closing the opened bones and suturing the incision.

“Whoa~.”

After the operation, the burner sweated on the bridge of his nose, and Bun-ah, who had been assisting with the lantern, hurriedly wiped it with a cotton cloth.
