Chapter 276

Episode 276. Hiding power from the world (1)

The auspicious letter presented by the princess and Do-gyeom could not even go to Jangan, where the emperor was, and had to return.

This is because Emperor Heon took refuge in Lukyang while fighting between Li Gak and Kwak Sa, who had seized power.

When Li Ge and Guo Si stopped the strife and led the army to capture Emperor Heon, Cao Cao, who had soldiers stationed in Dongnae County, went south to Luoyang to rescue Emperor Heon and chased Li Gao and Guo Si to Xiliang.

When Cao Cao sent soldiers to rescue him, he was sealed as General Geondeok and later promoted to General Jindong.

While Ye Zhu was victorious in the war against Western Zhou, Cao Cao installed Emperor Heon as emperor and seized the imperial power.

Upon hearing the news from the imperial palace, the painter thought about the future while thinking about future history for a while.

‘For the time being, it’s the Emperor’s reign, so it’s better to avoid heavy rain.’

The fireman quietly looked back at his current situation.

Originally, he had no intention of becoming a feudal lord. I just got caught up in various things and in the whirlpool, I got my hands on the Yeju and the Seoju.

‘As an incompetent commander, too many soldiers took part in the war to die, but this is true.... He is standing in the middle of history.’

Fighting Jojo?

If work overlaps and you have no choice but to fight, the fireman won’t be suffering either. But why else? There is nothing to be gained.

Furthermore, many feudal lords such as Yuan Shu, Sun Ce Liu Biao, and Gongsun Zan Yuan Shao are still conserving their strength and gathering troops. Small wars continue to take place, but the fires and chaos will only increase in the future.

The painter, who had been thinking for a while, suddenly came up with a plausible number.

‘yes! If there are no soldiers to fight, there will be no soldiers to die. If the world is going to be divided into thirds anyway, why don’t we disperse again after informing them that they died in the war?’

The painter became the great empress, but rather than being greedy, he wanted to save people even a little more.

‘If so, will I be taken to another place?’

Another thought that comes to mind.

If they were conscripted again, there was no point in scattering them.

So what should I do?

After thinking about it a little more, the number comes to mind again.

So far, many people have been requisitioned, but most of those belonging to Haomun avoided the requisition, no matter what Eulji and Myeongil did.

‘I guess I can hide in Hao Mun’s shadow! I’ll have to call Eulji, Myeongil, and Dangji Lee to discuss it.’

If possible, it would be good to seek to make Haomen stronger than it is now with that power.

invisible power.

Of course, since it was not forcibly absorbed, the freed soldiers were given the freedom to choose.

It is a large army of more than 250,000, but most of them, except for the cavalry, are farmers who were conscripted for farming.

If most of them are scattered and sent back to the world, and only tens of thousands of soldiers are left in Yezhou and Xuzhou for emergencies, there will be a justification for sending fewer troops even if Cao Cao asks for them in the future.

After organizing his thoughts, the painter called Eulji and Myeongil. And after the first meeting, Zhuge Liang and Yeopo Ugeum Janggoe Ha Man were summoned to discuss detailed measures.

Many were surprised and amazed that the fireman’s will was different from that of ordinary feudal lords.

“With the current power of the Duke of Zhou, it would be possible to compete for supremacy in the world, isn’t it a waste?”

The painter actually thought that Lu Bu would object the most vehemently.

But rather, Zhuge Liang was greedy, and Lu Pu sent eyes full of respect.

“There is only one reason why I actively intervened in the war. Did you forget that?”

If you are not careful, you may not be able to keep your promise.

If you talk to Jojo, there is a possibility that he will concede, but since this issue is related to his father, it probably won’t be easy.

The painter thought about it, put off the request for a funeral for the princess, and secretly called for Do-gyeom.

“Did you call? Mr. Fireman.”

“No, why is your face so bad? You haven’t taken the decoction, have you?”

The painter was surprised to see DK.

DK, who showed signs of recovery after the surgery, had half his face in just a few days.

Because of the violation surgery, I had to lose weight because I ate less, but it was still too much.

“It’s not because of the decoction, it’s because of Jojo.”

DK scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.

“When I heard that Cao Cao had installed Emperor Heon as emperor, my anxiety became like a mountain.”

“I called you because of that, but is there any way you could think of? I will be happy to help in any way.”

“My best bet is for you to fight Jojo, but I can’t separate the sworn brothers.”

“Your situation is a bit like that.”

“Then could you send me to the North Sea?”

“Are you North?”

“I live by mistake and have a bad relationship with others, so the only way to find a way to live is in the North Sea.”

“However, the North Sea is a small place, so it would be difficult to hold out for a while if Joe attacked. And since brother Jo now has the emperor in his grasp, he can order Gong Rong to send you back even if the emperor orders it.”

If you can control the emperor, you can borrow the imperial name at will. This was scary.

Han was not completely ruined yet, so if you disobey the imperial order, you will be branded with treason. In particular, Gong Rong was a great scholar and a loyal subject, so it was difficult to know what decision to make.

When the painter made a worried expression, Do-gyeom continued talking as if he didn’t care.

“Even though Beihai is small, Gong Rong is a person who has a clear sense of self-interest and is respected by many scholars. Even if it’s Hwang Ming, they won’t listen if they think it’s Cao Cao’s trick. I hate Jojo that much.”

While listening to the painter’s words, it occurred to him that Do-gyeom and Gong-yong might be quite close. It was difficult to speak with such certainty without being close.

“is it so. I’ll know if you’re so sure. I will give an order to the alumni gatekeeper at midnight tonight to open the door, so run away with your henchmen. Since the princess has her own eyes, I will release the soldiers and pursue them slowly tomorrow afternoon. Of course, I will secretly tell the longevity chasing you and tell you to pretend, so don’t worry about getting caught and go to Xuzhou and bring your companions to the North Sea.”

“All right. Whoa~. How did my situation come to this.... It’s disastrous.”

“Someday good days will come.”

“I don’t know if that day will ever come. The country has become like this because of Tensangshi’s trickery... This time, the grandson of Tensangshi has seized the imperial power!”

“It’s not long before you can be a child, so hurry up and get ready. And this is travel expenses.”

When the painter handed over the box containing the gold bars prepared in advance, Do-gyeom’s eyes were moved.

“Thank you. I will never forget the kindness of the painters.”

When DK received the box and went out, the painter unknowingly let out a long sigh.

“I will keep this a secret from anyone. It will never happen if Joe finds out...”

The fireman dispatched a pursuit team in the afternoon as planned the day after DK ran away. And three days later, the princess was asked to write a funeral order to be presented to the imperial palace.

The princess jumped up after learning that Do-gyeom had fled, but since the fireman released his soldiers to pursue her, the princess gave up half of her resignation.
