Chapter 286

Episode 286. Pumpkin rolls in by the vine (1)

“The governor also agrees with the soldier. If you give me an order right away, I will run to you and bring you at least Cao Cao’s head.”

All the people next to her nodded with similar expressions.

The fireman looked at them and nodded.

“All of my gathering strength, stockpiling, and preparation are not for fighting over the world. It’s just to protect the people who are dying in this era. But, as you know, I’m not blindly a fanatic either. If anyone dares to point a knife at me like Won-sul did, I will cut off his breath at once, like a tiger tearing a deer’s leash.”

Hearing the words of the fireman, Zhuge Liang nodded.

“Joo-gong is fine now. Because everyone is torn and dispersed. But soon, when they come together, the balance of power will collapse, and at that time, it is clear that there will come a time when it will be difficult to just keep them. What would you do if Cao Cao forgot his loyalty to the Duke of Zhou and attacked?”

At Zhuge Liang’s words, all the generals’ eyes turned to the fireman.

The fireman looked around them quietly, and finally looked at Zhuge Liang and said sternly.

“Ryang, didn’t I tell you? I’m going to stop breathing who it is. It’s not that it doesn’t include molding. It was because we decided that it would help us too. But if you want more than that, I will stand firm against anyone other than Cho.”

Everyone bowed their heads as the fireman showed his strong will.

“I will obey the will of the governor.”

“Gentlemen, I really do not want war. That’s why you want to end the enemy’s breath at once. Myeongil Danju contacted Sima Sangdan and prevented any trade with Wonsul’s army, General Yeopo prepare to send troops right away, and Zhuge’s troops think of the most effective tactic and bring it.”

Hwabu began to direct preparations for war in a strong and resolute tone.

After the fireman’s instructions were over for a while, Zhuge Liang spoke first.

“Then, for two reasons, I would like to delay the dispatch by about three days.”

“three days? Do you have any problems? I know the military has already completed all preparations.”

“First, if we reach Shuchun too soon, Yuan Shu may give up and retreat from Xu Zhou. Of course, in that case, Xu Zhu will not be attacked, but we may have to face the enemy from the front and back.”

“and?”

The painter asked as if he understood.

“Another one is that even if we face enemies from the front, it’s not that we can’t defeat them, but it makes it difficult to hide our strength from Cao Cao’s side.”

“Right. It seems that the effect of delaying it by three days is quite large. General Yeopo.”

“Your master.”

“Please prepare for dispatch in three days.”

“All right.”

Three days later, Cao Cao’s soldier, Sun-wu, who was about to leave the army, appeared with 5,000 military rice and 30,000 soldiers.

“No, what is the auspicious order up to now?”

Hwabu already knew through Sejak that military provisions and soldiers from Jojo’s camp had departed this way. I wasn’t surprised, but I pretended to be surprised and welcomed it.

“I heard that Eosa Daebu is dispatching troops, so of course we should give our strength, right?”

“The letter of my dispatch was posted three days ago, so it should have arrived today... How did you know that you came so soon?”

“Oh did you? I did not set out after receiving an auspicious letter. As soon as I heard that Yuan Shu had sent troops to Xuzhou, I informed the Duke of Zhou of the situation and set off immediately. The governor said, of course, that I should help.”

“This is so... You made Mupyeonghu needless attention because of your ugly younger brother. Please tell Queen Mupyeong that my brother has been greatly favored.”

“All right.”

The painter said calmly and thought about why Soon-wook had come. He is in charge of overseeing the internal affairs of the imperial palace under the decree. He was not the kind of person who would just lead soldiers.

“Then what should I do?”

“It is difficult to capture Habi Castle within a few days.”

The generals all expressed the same opinion.

Yuan Shu also agreed with him and hastily decided to withdraw.

However, during the retreat, Xu Zhou’s soldiers and Sun Ce’s soldiers counterattacked, and the damage gradually snowballed.

* * *

While Yuan Shu was shedding bloody tears and returning to the base, Hwa Bu was besieging Shuchun Castle.

The generals who defended Suchunseong with 20,000 troops were Sanggun Nobak and Jinran.

The brain beat gnashed his teeth when he saw that parts of the castle walls had collapsed and the gates were also broken in a single battle.

I fought like crazy and managed to block the first attack, but I couldn’t stop the second attack no matter how much I thought about it. I managed to repair the broken gate right now, but it wasn’t enough to stop the next attack.

“Brain General. At this rate, the second attack cannot be stopped.”

“I know. But that doesn’t mean you can give up your last name.”

“If it continues like this, it could end inside. Wouldn’t it be better to abandon the castle, break through the siege, and join the Duke?”

“Give up your castle and go to the governor? So, do you think the principal will accept it as a good thing? Either way, our necks will run away anyway.”

“If we are going to be wiped out here, it would be best to save some of the soldiers and take them to the lord. Even if you get reprimanded by the governor for that, I think it’s right.”

“Ouch damn it. Because of the damn assholes...”

The brain-bak glanced at the heads of the guards hanging from the poles.

It was he who cut their throats.

The soldiers of Wiso dispatched to the port of Naruteo and Ganga misunderstood the enemy carrying weapons and military rice on dozens of ships as military merchants who had come to trade, and made the mistake of allowing them to pass through without checking properly.

They, who thought they were soldiers, turned into enemy soldiers as soon as they anchored the ship at Jeoksan Port, right in front of Soochunseong.

The soldiers of Wiso finally confronted the enemy in surprise, but it was already like hitting a rock with an egg. Furthermore, the military commanders and commanders who were supposed to command the guards were the first to report and ran away and ran to the castle.

Because of that, the soldiers who lost their commander collapsed in an instant.

The enemy soldiers easily secured the gun port, and the troops joined and attacked after them.

“It’s a great army that the guards can’t do anything about. Please make a decision as there is no turning back if you regret what has already happened.”

“I get it. Tonight, let’s take advantage of the enemy’s attack and send troops to the east gate. If you and I stand in the vanguard, we should be able to break through the siege.”

“All right. Then I will prepare.”

While Lei Bao and Qin Lan were thinking about giving up Shu Chun Castle, Liu Bei was begging Lu Bu.

“Please let me and my two younger brothers serve as alumni during the second attack, Grand General.”

“Alumni? The east gate is the most likely door to catch as an escape route when the enemy generals escape. It’s the most dangerous place, will it be okay?”

Lu Bu looked at Liu Bei’s sworn brothers.

The skills of the three brothers are already well known to him.

It will be enough to protect the alumni. In addition, Yeo-po could fully understand why he was willing to step forward in the current situation.

So far, those three brothers have only performed support missions from the rear. That’s why I couldn’t set up a major major like this. That’s why I probably pointed out the place where it is expected to be the most intense this time.

“Please trust me. I will never let a single enemy soldier go.”

There was a strong will in Liu Bei’s eyes.
