Episode 381. Turning poison into medicine (2)
The fireman was so delighted that his disciples were surprised.
In fact, the disciples regarded Hwabu as a god of medicine, but Hwabu himself was very aware of his limitations. That’s why I knew how hard luck it was to have the luck of this time to immediately think of an antidote for poison.
If it was a difficult poison to make an antidote through serum, it would be impossible to make an antidote in this era, no matter how much a fireman.
“Continue to look at those who have been decoded and report further progress.”
“Your master.”
The fireman let go, so now he has time to look at the battlefield.
While the fireman devoted himself to the treatment of the poison and spent time making an antidote, Zhuge Liang took up the baton and commanded the army as a substitute.
As they climbed up to the high wagon where the commanding headquarters resided, Zhuge Liang and other scribes and generals all bowed their heads in unison.
“Meet the governor.”
After receiving a rough bow, the painter looked around the battlefield and asked Zhuge Liang.
“How has the war situation changed?”
“Cao Cao’s army pulled out about 100,000 soldiers to support, and the war situation turned around and now our army is pushing Cao Cao’s army little by little.”
Dawn had passed before I knew it, and dawn was coming in the distance.
It was still a bit hazy everywhere, but there were torches everywhere and large fires in several places, so you could see how the soldiers were fighting on the battlefield.
“It seems that you are pushing very unilaterally, not at the level of pushing little by little.”
“It looks like that because Cao Cao also recovered his spiritual body overnight and completed preparations for evacuation.”
“If you prepared to withdraw, then
Boone-hyung must have made Jojo’s ass quite hot.” I will.”
“Seeing them retreat that far makes me want to strike at once, but why didn’t I do that?”
“Since the generals who will command the cavalry have been injured a lot, I’ve been taking care of myself, and I’m also waiting for that time because the flower pot company will catch Cao Cao’s ankles over time.”
The painter, who had been listening to Zhuge Liang’s words, naturally nodded.
The bookmakers gathered to draw the big picture and come up with a plan. Because of this, the enemy’s movement was predicted in various directions and a plan was made.
“Boon told my brother to listen to the broadcasting military’s opinions unconditionally, so the plan won’t go awry.”
“You know how brilliant the resourcefulness of the defense forces is, so Mrs. Flowerpot will not let go of the offense. By the way, what is the condition of the longevity poisoned by the jugong?”
“Fortunately, it was a poison I had been dealing with for a long time, so I was able to make an antidote right away.”
“Oh yeah. Then the generals will return to the battlefield soon.”
“It will take a bit more time for the poison to be fully deciphered, but you should be able to hold the spear after about an hour.”
“Can General Guan Yu hold a spear too?”
“You should refrain from using your injured left arm, but since its prowess is high, you should be able to deal with quite a few enemies with just one arm.”
“Then, we can launch an all-out attack in time for the planter company to grab Jojo’s ankle.”
After a while, Zhuge Liang buoyed up morale by informing the entire army that the antidote made by the fireman had detoxified the poison of the poisoned arrow.
When news of the antidote spread, the faces of the soldiers could be seen brightening.
‘The greatest fidelity in the world is the main attacker, so Jojo’s solo attack is so easily neutralized!’
Even non-poisoned generals were relieved.
In fact, the use of poisoned arrows in warfare has recently become commonplace. However, this was the first time that a large amount of poisoned arrows appeared in the fight against Cao Cao.
Poison is not something that can be extracted in large quantities.
However, Cao Cao poisoned countless arrows and inflicted great damage on his allies.
However, now that the antidote has been made, there is no need to be careful even when an arrow grazes like now.

“If I hadn’t annihilated half of the enemy cavalry that was chasing me, it would have been difficult for me to retreat so easily!”
Cao Cao retreated and suffered losses, but he didn’t look so unfair.
It was because if the enemy cavalry with good mobility and the longevity leading the cavalry had not been caught in a trap, they would have suffered several times the damage they were currently suffering.
“A messenger came from Jugong Upseong.”
Guan Yu, Macho Zhao Yun, and other generals like Giraseong were all leading the cavalry.
Of course, Akjin also did not lead the cavalry alone, but led the cavalry with generals such as Zhang Liao and Heo Yu. But somehow the number of enemy generals was much higher.
As Akjin predicted, they must have been hit by poison arrows, or at least grazed by poison arrows, so by now they should all be in bed and suffering.
As far as he knew, the detoxification method used this time was only at the level of preventing the poisoning symptoms from getting worse.
‘Could it be that they already knew about the poison arrows we made and made an antidote in advance?’
Otherwise, it was incomprehensible.
Akjin is fighting the equipment with a spear, but his head is really complicated.
It is undeniable that one’s expectations were wrong, aren’t the enemy commanders who are still wielding spears proving it?
“Kahiah .....”
I heard the screams of a familiar person for some reason.
I couldn’t turn my head because I was fighting a fierce battle with the equipment, but the screamer was definitely fellow general Heo Yu.
‘Did I get hurt?’
Heo Yu had been under the attack of enemy generals Ma Chao and Zhao Yun a while ago.
Since they fought an enemy general who was too tough to fight 1-on-1 with a 2-to-1 ratio, it was probably a struggle just to have endured so far.
‘I can’t do this. If I don’t retreat, I won’t be able to save half of the soldiers.’
While retreating, he knew that the fallen soldiers would suffer sacrifices, but if they continued to fight, they would be annihilated.
“Everyone retreat! Everyone retreat!”
Whoo! jjoong.
‘Keugh!’
While he was talking, the nape of his neck was cool, so he reflexively lowered his head, and the hat of the equipment brushed past the back of the helmet.
Akjin took out the javelin of his waist dance and threw it at the horse in the equipment behind him and continued to ride.
Caang.
Hearing the sound of a javelin hitting something and bouncing away, Akjin licked his lips in regret.
‘Looks like you didn’t get it right. But fortunately, I had time to escape.’
giggle
‘Somehow, it seems that my body has become lighter... What happened?’
Guan Yu tilted his head as he swung his spear and decapitated the enemy cavalryman.
Because his left arm was injured, he avoided fighting with the enemy general and chose to cut only the cavalrymen. But somehow, even though he was using only his right arm, he had no problem moving the spear.
‘The Duke of Zhou told me not to overdo it, although the detoxification has definitely been done, as there may still be poisoning from travel.
Originally, your body is the law you know best.
When I took a long breath and activated my inner strength, my inner strength spread like an oar to the four limbs.
I felt more confident.
‘The poison is detoxified, and it is clear that it has benefited the body. Otherwise, there’s no way I’ll be so full of energy!’
As Guan Yu cut down the enemy cavalry, he saw Akjin running away from the equipment attack.
It just so happened that the direction he was running towards was his own.
His left arm was wrapped in a bandage, and a shield was attached to his wrist and elbow to bind him like a splint. Perhaps Akjin saw it and took it easy.
‘Can I deal with the author with one arm?’
Guan-wu pondered for a moment whether he should avoid the evil dust or face it.
Equipment was following behind, but Akjin’s men were throwing their bodies to help the superior escape safely.
‘If I hold on for about ten breaths, I think the rain will be able to shake off the obstacles... Let’s try it.’
“come!”
When Guan-wu tried to confront him without running away, Ak-jin made an absurd expression for a moment.
“What a shame, if you want to die, I won’t hesitate.”
