Episode 329. Dangerous transaction (2)

After hearing what the fireman said, Yeo-po was furious, but Bang-tong welcomed it as an excellent decision. And Hwa-bok was sorry that he seemed to be indebted to his younger brother.

“I feel sorry for this castle, but if you get Luoyang, you won’t lose too much.”

At Bangtong’s words, Yeopo became furious.

“Bang military. I exchanged it for Luoyang, which was all burnt up and left with only lumps of charcoal. Isn’t that a loss? Do you know why Queen Wu Ping moved the imperial capital from Luoyang to Hedo?”

“The reason why Empress Wupyeong moved the imperial capital from Luoyang to Hedo was because Luoyang in the past was almost ashes, as the general said. But Luoyang is a strong force of tradition. The wealthy people who lived in the past will soon rebuild Luoyang as the placenta is still alive. And if the Duke of Zhou intends to get his hands on Luoyang and Chang’an and keep his sights as far as Saju, then Luoyang is the perfect place.”

“But the owner is not more valuable than the host or resident.”

“Right now.”

The pain was also readily acknowledged.

“But within 3 years as short as 5 years as long as Saju is a place where you can become a bridgehead when attacking Seoryang, Sakju and Byeongju.”

Even though Bangtong’s explanation made sense, Yeopo could not easily accept it.

“If Luoyang is as important as Banggun said, why would Cao Cao change his karma?”

“Luoyang is a key point, but that is the value of the distant future to attack the states mentioned earlier, and the business here is important to attack Giju and Yuju right away.”

“So you’re saying that Cao Cao gave up Luoyang without expecting that much?”

“How could he not have thought of that? But now, from his point of view, he let go because he knows that if he can’t even get his hands on it, he’s going to have a lot of trouble. Luoyang without karma is just a shell.”

“The fire that fell on the instep... Then you’ll be able to ask for Luoyang back in the future?”

“It will be after calming down and stabilizing Kiju and Yuju in the future, but that is highly likely.”

After thinking for a moment, Yeo-po opened her mouth to the fireman.

“What would you do if Cao Cao asked for Luoyang back in the days of the Duke of Zhou?”

“I can’t give it to you because it’s a reward for giving up the business here.”

“Even if you can’t give it to me, what will you do if I insist on giving it to you?”

“Then Joe and I will become enemies.”

As the fireman’s eyes darkened coldly, Lu Bu nodded.

“If you’re prepared to become enemies later, wouldn’t it be better not to give up your karma?”

“It might be so in the current situation, but aren’t we splitting up right now? Since we haven’t gathered, it will definitely be at a disadvantage if we fight. Do you really need to fight against it?”

The hwabu did not say that he would not fight Jojo anymore. In the middle of the day, he also has in mind that he will become an enemy with Jojo.

After reading the fireman’s intentions, Yeopo took a small step further.

“Then, how about aiming for a time when Cao Cao is weak from pacifying Qi Zhu and Yu Ju?”

“If you aim for that time, you will be able to fight with a great advantage. But as I said, I still haven’t had the heart to betray my brother-in-law. At least until then, I want to keep Joe in mind.”

The painter implicitly said that the justification was still lacking.

“Targeting when the enemy is weak is the basis of strategy.”

“General. Let’s take it slow. The relationship between Jo and Hyung is not yet close enough to be defined as an enemy. So, I don’t want to aim at Joe unless the point of his sword is pointed at me.”

Yeo-po had been with the painter for a long time, so he fully understood and sympathized with his feelings and nodded in sympathy and withdrew. However, his feelings for Jojo were never resolved.

* * * When

the fireman took out 50,000 of the 100,000 captured soldiers like skipping dried persimmons and returned to the army, Jojo’s bookkeeper and generals expressed considerable dissatisfaction.

“Hehe yes, in order to have a healthy throat, you must harden your heart.”

Cao Cao looked at the wind plain and went down from the watchtower.

Xiahoudon, who followed him, heard a muttering like Cao Cao’s to himself.

“Still, firemen are on my agenda until they become enemies!”

* * *

“Uh ha ha ha.....”

In a pavilion on one side of Yeongwol-ro, one of the three major giru in Nakyang, Ha Hu-dong’s drunken laughter pierced the snoring of the gisaengs.

“Please take another drink, sir.”

“Haha, did you mix the alcohol with honey? How are you so sweet?”

“Are you in a good mood today?”

“Everyone has.”

“What happened to the girl, making it hard to control herself even after drinking a few cups?”

Xiahoudong was accompanied by three prostitutes, one of whom was massaging his shoulders or legs, and the other who poured wine or picked up snacks and put them into Xiahoudong’s mouth.

Another courtesan was sitting across from him and turning on gold, and the one who was talking to Xia Hudong was the one who was turning on gold and displaying noble elegance.

“The lord of Sagajang, who had been bouncing my guts up until now, personally received me today and filled me with everything that I thought was disappointing until now.”

“ah! That’s why Na-ri was in such a good mood. By the way, I heard that Sagajangju runs a large guild and is rarely in the manor, so it seems he has returned?”

“A new governor will be appointed in a few days, so he must have returned in a hurry because of that.”

“Has Tae-soo changed?”

When the courtesan widened her eyes in surprise, Ha Hudong raised his chin with a slightly arrogant expression.

“Kerhem, not too long ago, Taesoo Gong said something disappointing to me, so when I met my older brothers, I complained a little bit, but I didn’t know that Taesoo would change the Taesoo just because he said that.”

“oh! Then, Tae-soo changed after falling out of the eyes of Na-ri?”

“Well, rather than being out of my sight, it must have been because Tae-soo Gong wasn’t good at his job even in the eyes of the older brothers above him.”

When Ha Hu-dong coughed and ostentatiously, the courtesan who massaged his legs and the courtesan who fed him snacks clung to each other and acted aegyo.

“I’ve guessed it for a long time, but the real power here in Luoyang is Lord Hahu.”

“Heh heh heh, stop clinging to these things. what power do i have? It’s just that the older brothers from above somehow happened to be all my relatives and older brothers.”

“Isn’t Tae-soo, who is coming this time, one of the older brothers?”

“Okay. I’m not sure about that either. Whoever comes will be of great importance to me? And if one of them had come, they would have contacted me long ago.”

“I heard the story of the guests of Samneung Pavilion earlier, and it seemed that the new Taesoo was called Hwa Taesoo. Didn’t you know?”

“Hwa Tae-soo? It’s a surname not worth remembering. I’ve said it before. All of my older brothers are either Hahoo like me or Jo. Mr. Hwa doesn’t have much to do with it.”

“is that so.”

Hahudong remembered for a moment that the fireman’s last name was Hwa, but he quickly erased it from his mind.

Hwabu, the head of Eosa, could not be raised to the governorship of a place like this, and his older brother was already a governor or governor of two castles much larger than Luoyang.

There is no way to come to this place that has not been properly reconstructed yet.

‘It just happened that my last name was Hwa. Anyway, I suddenly wonder who it is. I’m going to enter tomorrow after a while and find out who it is.’
