Chapter 403

Episode 403. (2)

Jang Xin and Zhou Tai led 50,000 troops each to pacify Guji and Ilnam.

The governors of Kuji-gun and Il-nam-gun changed to Sun Ce’s people, but some of the generals and soldiers who had fled following Si-seop were still hiding in the jungle or forest and surrendering.

When Zhu Tai received Sun Ce’s order to return to the army, he stopped the subjugation and led his troops to Guji County to meet Zhang Xin.

“There’s no way the subjugation has already ended, and maybe General Zhou also received a call from the Duke of Zhou?”

“That’s right. Seeing that the soldiers are gathered in the castle, it seems that General Zhang has been contacted as well.”

“exactly.”

“General Jang, I have something urgent to tell you, so please take care of your surroundings for a moment.”

“Hmm, I see. Everyone stay out.”

“Your general.”

When all the guards escorting the longevity left, Ju-tae opened his mouth in a low voice.

“Brother, I think it will be difficult to avoid a fight between the godfather and the principal this time.”

When it was just the two of them, the tone of voice and honorifics changed.

Ju-tae called Jang-heum his brother.

“So, since it hasn’t been a few months since Godfather caught Jojo, I thought I would endure it at least this year, but I didn’t know that Giju and Yuju would come down here to attack the Duke of Jugong even though they weren’t organized.”

“From the point of view of the plan, it must be the right thing.”

“Yes. What a good time.”

“Have you not contacted the Danju?”

During the conversation, Ju-tae kept an eye on the door to see if anyone might come in.

“So far, nothing has been said.”

“Hmm~ If a war breaks out, the Duke of Zhou will definitely tell us to stand in the vanguard. We can’t point our spears at the godfather... What should we do?”

“Now that the withdrawal order has finally been issued, what are you worrying about in advance? When the time comes, Danju will definitely contact you, so in the meantime, you should thoroughly support the Jugong as a servant.”

“If a war starts and an attack order is issued from the main attacking force, but Danju doesn’t hear back... what should I do then?”

“I will definitely be contacted, but if they don’t come, shouldn’t we move at the right time? How dare we point our spears at him?”

“Fortunately, my brother is of the same opinion as me. For a long time, I have been serving the Son family as the main governor, but the only person I am loyal to is Godfather.”

“Me too. Godfather is the only feudal lord who truly cares for the people. In the meantime, I have watched the sons of the Son clan as the main governor, but they were no different from other feudal lords who took lightly the favor they received and only took care of their own interests.”

“I still remember Godfather risking his life and wandering around the battlefield treating the wounded. In a way, the soldiers who could be called strangers shed tears when they were dying and smiled quietly to hide their joy when they were saved. I really want to live long enough to see a world ruled by such a person.”

“You must have seen Godfather on the battlefield. I was treated by my godfather ten years ago when a great epidemic broke out in the Yellow River basin and countless people were dying. Other lawmakers did not even come close to it for fear of contracting the disease, but Godfather did his best to save at least one more person without stopping day and night, even though he himself could have contracted the disease. If Godfather hadn’t saved me and my family back then, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

After Zhang Xin’s words were finished, Ju-tae’s eyes lit up with a determined light.

Perhaps the painter won’t even remember curing the two.

However, since the two owed their lives to the fireman, not only themselves but also their families, their loyalty was strong enough to give their lives.

“First of all, as my brother said, I will be a servant of the Duke of Ju and wait for the command of Lord Dan.”

“Even if I don’t hear from Danju, I will send you a signal when the time is right. Let’s change the direction of the window then.”

“All right. Then I will trust my brother’s judgment and wait.”

Ju-tae also nodded firmly.

Jang Heum looked at him and smiled lightly, then continued.

No matter how much I tried to draw a picture in my head, I couldn’t draw a picture where Sun Ce took over the world.

The degree to which the best results endure.

However, when he imagined a painter, a picture was drawn of conquering Sun Ce and taking over the world.

thud.

For a brief moment, Jegalgeun felt his heart break.

He was in denial, but he already knew in his head which way the trend was leaning.

‘This fight! It must be difficult. Well, the preparation period is different, so it can’t be easy.’

A bitter smile was built up.

While fighting Sa-seop, when he found out that there were those who secretly coordinated the war, he expected that they would be firemen or those who were ordered by Jojo.

Of course, as time passed, they confirmed that they were the fireman’s subordinates.

The painter was preparing and executing everything so meticulously, but he and Son Ce were unable to deal with only Sa-seop, a fight in front of them, so they did not pay attention to anything else.

‘Heh, I didn’t have the energy to spend my attention elsewhere.’

Comparing the powers of Hwabu and Sonce, there was a clear difference that could be described as a battle between an adult and a child.

“If Godfather Hwa came with 2 million troops, there would be nothing to fight, but since they have 500,000 troops similar to us, it might be worth a try!”

Jegalgeun made up his mind.

Even if Sun Ce is a sinking ship, considering that he is sitting in the most important position to assist the monarch, it is the duty of a subject and the duty of a husband to be with him until the end!

“I heard that you are called Gwijegal. Let’s see how much Liang and your skills are!”

“What! The Duke of Zhou is already heading south with his troops?”

Just as Jegalgeun heard the news of the fireman in the south, Zhuge Liang also heard the news of the fireman in Giju in the north.

“Your soldier.”

“It’s not the time yet, so why did you move so hastily?”

“In the battle between Sun Ce and Sa-se, Sun Ce was victorious, and in the midst of that, the existence of the messengers of the Duke of Zhou who secretly coordinated the fight between the two was discovered by Sun Ce’s camp. So it seems that the Duke of Zhou hastened the time of the war against Sun Ce.”

After hearing the report of his subordinate, Zhuge Liang understood that the fireman had done so, but on the other hand, he was very disappointed that he had moved without saying anything to himself as a general.

“No matter how desperate you were, why didn’t you ask me for advice?”

“Anyway, it seems that the Duke of Zhou intentionally excluded you from this war, because you and Zhugeun from Sun Ce’s camp are siblings.”

stop.

At the words of his subordinate, Zhuge Liang was unable to open his mouth for a moment.

I understood the heart of the fireman. However, it was also true that he was worried that if he did not have confidence, the painter would fall prey to his brother’s tricks.

If he was an older brother who married Son Sang-hyang and even had a better child, he was a person who could come up with a scary plan like a poisonous snake to protect his family.

“Who knows you better than me? Ga-gun and Sima-gun’s tactics are excellent, but your brother is also good at demon world, so don’t take it lightly!”

When Zhuge Liang was very excited, Guan Yu came in.

Guan Yu nodded with a serious expression after hearing the words of Zhuge Liang and the civil servant who brought the news.

“The reason why Sun Ce won a great victory in the fight against Si She and obtained the leader of the cult, in a way, must have been because Zhuge Jin’s plan worked well. But while we went to fight such a handbook, we didn’t even say a word! I’m worried that the governor might not be taking the enemy too easily.”

“General Kwan is right. Although it is important to clean up the remnants of Qi and Yu, how could it be as important as fighting Sun Ce? We must immediately assemble our troops and go to help the Duke of Zhou.”
