Episode 250. Should I treat this? (1)
“Haa~. I never thought Gongsun Zan would stab me in the back!”
A long sigh escaped unconsciously from Dokyeom, the head of Seoju.
When he was attacked by Cao Cao, he barely escaped the crisis by paying a large sum of money to Gong Rong of Beihai and Gong Sun Zan of Liu Zhou and borrowing troops.
But the end of the war did not mean the end of the crisis.
Usually, when the war is over, the dispatched soldiers are taken away, but Gongsun Zan made the Liu Bei brothers stationed in Shaopai City, using the excuse that Cao Cao might invade again.
When Gongsun Zan showed such ambition, Gong Rong of Beihai, who was weak in power, inherited his army and avoided a quarrel with Gongsun Zan.
At first, Do-gyeom gave his wealth with good words and told him to restore Liu Bei since he could now protect Xuzhou, but Gongsun-chan did not listen.
“What are you worried about, Lord Zhou?”
Jin-deung, who must have heard Do-gyeom’s sighs outside, came in without knocking.
“Doesn’t Jin know what worries you?”
“Is it because of Liu Bei’s soldiers stationed in Shaopai?”
“I know you well. I will stop when the war is over. I don’t know what you’re holding on to because you have something to eat.”
“Since this place is a fertile land, there is no way the feudal lords would not be greedy.”
“Whoa~. What could not be good?”
“Gongsun Zan was greedy, but in fact, is Gongsun Zan the only one who has human greed?”
“Stop the rubbish and get straight to the point.”
“Yubi must be greedy too. He has excellent generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he also has the experience of gaining the trust of the people by governing the prefecture quite well.”
“You mean to incite Liu Bei’s greed and cause him to fall out with Gongsun Zan?”
“It is. If things fall apart, Gongsun Zan will no longer be able to covet Xuzhou here. Now that Cao Cao has complete control over Yeonju and Cheongju, it will be difficult to send any more soldiers.”
“But Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are alumni, so it won’t be easy between them, so what good can they do?”
“People are driven by their own desires. When the Duke of Zhou raises a command, Li Ge and Guo Sa almost unconditionally agree, so how about recommending Liu Bei as the daughter of Ye Zhu who stays with the Zhou Zhou and can come to help when Cao Cao’s forces invade in case of emergency?”
“The company of Yeju? It is not an easy task as the Princess of Yezhou also has a thick string attached to the imperial palace.”
“If the string of the gong company is thick, it is okay to put air in moderately on Liu Bei. All you have to do is invite Liu Bei to throw a party and make a promise that you will recommend it as the company of Yeju. Then Liu Bei will most likely fall out with Gongsun Zan, who is loyal to the Duke of Zhou and has not received any reward for his great achievements.”
“It’s a good ploy. After all, the purpose is not to give Liu Bei a place to be, but to break the trust between them.”
A few days later, Do-gyeom invited Liu-bi, threw a big party, complimented her on her past majors, and discussed her merits in recommending the position of Ye-ju in the imperial palace.
The Liu Bei brothers went back with great gratitude to Do-gyeom, and afterwards, Do-gyeom was delighted to see that the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun-chan had deteriorated noticeably.

“Keugh! Have you been drinking too much lately? Why is my stomach hurting so much?”
Dokyeom suffered from a sudden stomachache and hurriedly called the city council.
After examining DK, the city council opened its mouth with a serious expression.
“It seems like a violation.”
In an instant, not only DK, but also Jindeung’s eyes widened as if tearing.
“What, stomach violation?”
“yes. It seems to be a violation in my opinion.”
“Isn’t that the wrong diagnosis? Examine again.”
“I have already been examined several times.”
“A violation of the above… that I am a violation… Call the other doctors. i can’t believe you Go ahead and call the other doctors.”
After a while, city doctors were called in one after another at DK’s cry, but the results of their examination were no different from the first examination.
“My me is a violation! How could something like this happen…”
“Please don’t be too heartbroken, Lord Ju. There is a doctor named Hwabu who cured Taewi Huang Wan’s violation in the past lives in Yezhou, so you can call him and cure him.”
Hearing Jindeung’s words, Dokyeom’s face instantly brightened.
“ah! right. That’s right, I also heard that Hwang Tae-wi’s illness was cured by a doctor named Hwa-bu. Send someone to get him right now.”
“All right.”

Gyeonggukjisaeg is a high praise used when referring to a woman who is beautiful enough to endanger the country.
A lot of women want to hear the word ‘naughty’, but few women can actually hear it.
Of course, hanryangs sometimes say good-natured things for a night with a gisaeng, or bachelor men try to win a girl’s heart, but true beauty is rare.
jump.
After Choseon was properly powdered and dressed up, many people’s eyes were fixed on her.
In reality, seeing a beautiful woman with a borderline color, ordinary people could only react like this.
‘Was I that beautiful?’
Even the painter couldn’t take his eyes off of Chosun for a while.
In fact, Chosun deliberately did not apply powder and did not wear good clothes after starting to escape with Lu Bu as if being kicked out of the imperial palace.
Of course, even with that, she had her basic beauty, so she caught the attention of many people, but it didn’t compare to her well-decorated look like today.
“Are you Seo Fairy?”
“Was there a beauty like that around here?”
“I thought the painter’s daughter-in-law was the most beautiful… but there’s no comparison.”
“…..”
The sound of people whispering came to the fireman’s ears.
A bitter smile was built up.
‘It’s like seeing a celebrity exuding an aura from the future.’
One day, a top actress came to visit the hospital, and when the nurses at the hospital who said she was pretty stood next to her, she turned into a squid.
Any woman who goes next to Chosun now will turn into a squid.
“hello. Mr. Hwa.”
When Chosun entered the room and greeted him, the painter put aside his thoughts for a while and bowed his head.
“I heard that you’ve been busy decorating the newly acquired manor. What’s going on here?”
“I was thinking of inviting Congressman Hwa and other members to have a simple meal this evening after the group leader is over.”
“If that’s the case, you can send someone or tell the captain of the guard, but have you ever taken difficult steps?”
“I’m going to invite the hostess of the painter’s shop, but I don’t think it’s polite to send a lower person.”
“Is my mother inviting you too?”
“yes. Now that we’re settling down here in Chohyeon, shouldn’t we build friendships?”
“Ah, what is it? If you go in there, there are servants, so you can ask them to guide you.”
“Then I’ll see you later tonight.”
“yes.”
When Chosun moved again, people’s eyes followed her.
Normally, men are surprised when a beautiful woman appears, but Chosun caught the attention of people of all ages.
The painter turned his head and looked at her husband, Yeo-po.
‘I’m a little envious.’
The fireman’s clothes had been quite empty since he started receiving patients.
Thanks to this, the painter was able to relax for the first time in a long time.
“Mr.”
While I was doing that, the day approached.
“Four lords. What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“Didn’t the Danju say that? You said you would bring the horse you bought this time today.”
“ah! I did. Is that already?”
“yes. They’re not as good as red horses, but they’re pretty good.”
“is it so? But where are the horses?”
“I brought it to the stable.”
“Then let the disciples see it later, shall we ride with the guards first?”
“yes.”
The fireman headed for the horse farm with the chiefs of escorts and executioners from Janggoe, Okju, Haman, Yeopo, and Ugeum Shrine.
When I arrived at the stables, I saw about a hundred horses locked in pens.
Even a painter knows how to see horses to some extent, so his eyes widened naturally when he saw our horses.
“You saved great horses.”
“yes. These are words that are hard to find unless you have a decent code.”
Like the fireman, the captains of the escort were quite surprised to see the horses. Among them, Yeopo in particular was making a fuss as if he was about to jump over our fence.
“You choose first.”
“I don’t have much of an eye for horses, so please let the lord choose.”
“The horse you used to ride was pretty good, but didn’t you choose it yourself?”
“Oh, what a gale. I chose it myself.”
“If you have the discerning eye to choose a flurry, you are no less than me.”
“What a flurry… Ha ha ha. Just pick a good one.”
Gale, a horse that the painter used to ride, was a horse whose constitution was improved by feeding it all kinds of elixirs. Because of this, he had stamina and endurance comparable to that of a great horse, but now he is old and the time to retire is near.
“Then, I have something to look at. Take a look.”
When Myeong-il said something to the manager of the stable, the manager entered the cage and led a horse out.
Even if you look at it, it definitely looked like a fine horse, with a sleek body even though it was bigger than a normal horse.
When the manager brought the horse to the fireman, the captains of the escort rushed in and showed interest.
“Hey, Captain, how do these words compare to the red soil you rode in the past?”
“You’ll have to ride it yourself to know… but it doesn’t seem to fall out even when compared to red soil.”
“is that so?”
The fireman took the bridle handed to him by the caretaker, then jumped on the horse’s back.
When the stranger rode on the horse, it struggled for a moment and resisted, but as it pulled the reins from side to side and tapped its belly with both feet, it slowly moved forward.
“I’ll take a ride first.”
“yes.”
The painter tapped the horse’s side a little harder to speed it up.
“Whoa!”
Then the horse shook its head nervously and began to run forward.
‘This is a pretty rough guy. Certainly better than the drooping gale of old age.’
It was much better than the horses ridden by the cavalry soldiers, and it looked better than the horses ridden by quite a few generals I had met on the battlefield.
‘If I properly train this guy and feed him some elixir, he’ll be better than red soil.’
After riding the horse, the fireman was satisfied and even named it Storm.
After the fireman chose the horse, the guards chose the next horse, and they often chose the same horse, probably because they had similar eyesight.
The guards who chose the same horse were so greedy for the horse that they won the horse they wanted in an armed confrontation without making concessions to each other.
After the chiefs of the escort took possession of the horses through a series of such processes, the executioners went through a similar process and took the horses they wanted.
