Chapter 368. Developing Civilization of War (1)
“This morning, four soldiers from Western Liangju came to the soldiers of Xuzhou who were imprisoned and distributed rice balls.”
“is it?”
A satisfied expression appeared on the fireman’s face after hearing the report from Apok (the soldier who manages the prison).
“I was aiming for that, but it wouldn’t have been easy to execute. Fortunately, he did well. The core of the heart will be solved only when we solve it. Wouldn’t it only deepen the goal if we looked at it from above? Since the soldiers of Xiliang made such a choice and showed generosity, the hearts of the soldiers of Xuzhou must have been sufficiently relieved. You don’t need to keep them locked up any longer, so release them and give them all wine and meat as prizes.”
“I take orders.”
Apok received the order of the fireman and went back to the prison to free the soldiers of Seoju who were imprisoned.
The soldiers of Xuzhou knew that they would starve after being locked up for three days, but when the Xiliangzhu soldiers who fought with them yesterday brought rice balls and were released in the afternoon, they realized all this and were happy with tears.
They went straight to the Xiliangju soldiers, apologized once more sincerely, and returned to their camps to tell their comrades what had happened.
“In fact, we knew very well what we had done wrong. I just got emotional. How could I have thought they would share something to eat with us?”
“My lord understands that feeling and forgives us again, so I don’t know how to repay this feeling.”
My co-workers were deeply saddened because they knew the punishment they were receiving, but they were thrilled to have been forgiven unexpectedly.
“Do you know where it is?”
An adjutant entered with a heavy load on his back.
“My lord said that the credit for reconciliation is greater than your mistakes, and served you meat and wine like this!”
Hearing this, Xu Liangzhu and Xu’s soldiers praised the fireman and deepened their friendship with each other.
Rumors of this kind tend to spread faster than galloping horses.
In the days following the ceremony and the march toward Giju, rumors spread throughout the county.
In time, the invisible walls between the soldiers almost disappeared, and the generals began to break away from the awkward relationship and strengthen their friendship.
As the relationship between the soldiers and the generals of both camps improved, tacticians such as Zhuge Liang and Ga Hu were surprised by the judgment of the fireman a few days ago.
One small incident could have caused a big crack in the entire military base, but rather, a good judgment led to the result of uniting as one.
Almost all rulings so far have been strict punishments to establish discipline.
However, the painter’s ruling overturned that common sense.
“I was impressed by the wisdom of Ju Gong who moved people’s hearts.”
When Gahu admired, the painter shrugged his shoulders slightly before opening his mouth.
“Isn’t a widower the way to know the feelings of a widow? Why do the soldiers of Xu Liangzhu not understand the feelings of the soldiers of Xu Liangzhu who preyed on them? Still, it must have been because he was angry, and likewise, he made fun of the soldiers of Xuzhou, but they knew very well that they were not very different from them. I just understood that they knew each other.”
“If it were me, I would have thought about it after punishing her first.”
“What are you talking about? As you know, wasn’t it my fallen nobleman? I just understand a little more the heart of the one who doesn’t have it.”
At the words of the fireman, Zhuge Liang smiled brightly.
“I was able to come this far with the help of the governor at that time.”
Then he spoke slowly.
“Because of this incident, the fight hasn’t even started yet, but it seems that friendship is starting to sprout.”
“The camaraderie has deepened, and the loyalty of the soldiers, who were impressed by the benevolent judgment of the Duke of Ju, has also increased.”
“Hehe, why are you doing this so hotly?”
While the painter was making a joke with an embarrassed expression, one of Eulji’s subordinates hurriedly approached from afar and raised a bow.
“I’m sorry to the governor.”
“What’s going on?”
“Five days ago, about 10,000 cavalry troops marched out of Kiju’s fortress.”
“already?”
Not only the painter, but also several bookkeepers and longevity looked puzzled.
It had only been three days since Hwabu’s army departed from the imperial palace. It was still at least another 15 days to go to Giju, where Cao Cao’s army was gathered.
“Isn’t it an attempt to attack our vanguard?”
“Even if we aim for the vanguard, isn’t it too early?”
“Contrary to the expectation that Cao Cao will hold out on the defensive, if he intends to find a way out with an attack, he may use a strategy to send out cavalry to attack the vanguard and blind us.”
“I see.”
The attendant, who tried to dissuade Sun Ce, took the armor and put it on as Sun Ce held a spear and exhaled ferocious energy.
Wearing all the armor, Sun Ce, accompanied by the guards, came out of the quarters and rode a horse to Yingchae, where Sun Quan was staying.
The Yeongchae of Yangju-gun was built on the border of Danyang-gun and Yejang-gun, and it took two days on horseback.
Sun Ce, who rode a horse for two days, was relatively fine on the first day, but by the next day, the speed of the horse had significantly decreased compared to that of the horses driven by the guards next to him.
“Are you okay, Master?”
“I am fine.”
Sun Ce said it was fine, but the guards were adjusting the speed of the horse to match the speed of the horse Sun Ce was riding.
“You can see a stream in front of the main hole. Let’s have a meal and go. We are also very hungry.”
“So be it.”
Sun Ce could not refuse his subordinate’s invitation.
When I didn’t move violently, I seemed to be fine, but when I rode the horse forcibly, my stomach ached as if my intestines were twisted.
After Sun Ce had a simple meal and rested, he got back on his horse and headed for Yingchai, but he could not run as fast as before.
But even so, by the time he reached Youngchae, his complexion had turned pale.
When he heard the news that Sun Ce had arrived, Sun Quan came out to meet him with a contemplative face.
“Tongue brother. How did you come all the way here?”
“I heard that General Yeh’s capital was captured by the enemy. What happened?”
“That’s it...”
Sun Quan tried to evade for a moment, then sighed.
“Please eat inside. I will tell you inside.”
“I get it.”
Entering the barracks, Son Kwon said that General Ye’s capital had been captured because one of the gates was smashed while defending against the enemy’s attack with the water castle.
Quaang.
At that moment, Sun Ce hit the table where the map was spread out.
“Why did you choose Mercury when we have 500,000 and the enemy has 400,000? I heard that the first move was only 200,000! How did you do something so against the law of war?”
“That’s because the enemies provoked it first, so I tried to defend myself and take advantage of the gap.”
Son Kwon, while paying attention, hurriedly made an excuse.
“You have to create gaps while attacking. Who the hell came up with this stupid ploy? Could it be that Zhuge Lieutenant came up with such a plan?”
“The Zhuge army insisted on attacking, but the homeless strategist seemed to have a better opinion of Suseong...”
Taang.
Once again, Sun Ce’s hand hit the table.
“What a fool! Nosuk is bright in size and administration, but doesn’t it match the battlefield! How could he come up with such an opinion here and did you listen to that homeless man!”
“That’s what the homeless bookkeeper said at the time.”
“Huh!”
The hand book was absurd and only laughed out loud.
He’s a younger brother who’s been very smart since he was young, and he’s been anxious since he’s seen how he fights a lot, but he still thinks he’s trustworthy, but he’s still young, as he was initially worried about.
“It’s not that I don’t understand your feelings, but now is not the time for long words. From now on, I will command the army.”
When Sun Ce held out his hand, Sun Quan quietly handed over the baton and bowed his head.
“sorry. I did my best, but my older brother took away the hard-earned land.”
“All you have to do is find the stolen land again. We will have a countermeasure meeting, so gather the scribes and generals right away.”
“yes.”
Sun Quan could have been ordered by a subordinate, but he hurriedly ran out and called the longevity and the secretaries.
After a while, the generals and secretaries gathered together began to come up with a plan to repel the lord’s army, regaining their lost energy when Son Ce stepped forward to conduct the meeting.
Juyu, who covered homelessness and homelessness, could not keep her mouth shut during the meeting, probably because of the result of failure, and listened to Zhugeun’s plan in a corner like a criminal.
