Episode 264. I am the only one (1)
When Ok-ju was weaving Do-wook’s soldiers and gasses like a gulbi, the painter arrived there with Yu-bi.
“Yoo Yu Tae-soo! You think Yu Tae-soo was alive?”
As soon as Do-wook found Yubi, he greeted him fiercely as if he had met his deceased parents.
Yubi looked at Do-wook and turned her head to look at the load hanging on the horse’s back.
Ok-joo had her men collect the load, which seemed to be quite heavy, but one carriage was already full and the second carriage was being loaded.
I could tell what and how much I packed in that bag without having to unpack it.
“Where did all those riches come from?”
When Yubi’s eyes grew cold, Do-wook laughed awkwardly.
“Where did you come from? It was collected through hard work.”
“Did you remember when Cao Cao’s army invaded and asked for help to buy weapons and food?”
“At that time, there weren’t that many riches. And then I paid ten coffins of gold.”
“You didn’t pay your money, you received a hundred crowns from the nobles of Sopae Castle, and you kept 90% and paid only 10%.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I must have received a hundred coffins of gold from the barons?”
“This is what I heard directly from them. And as proof of that, there are ninety gold coffins in the carriage over there.”
“That’s because I’ve worked hard to save money.”
“Didn’t you say that you didn’t have much wealth before Cao Cao’s army came in?”
“That’s…”
Do-wook thought of an excuse that made his head spin, but no answer came out.
At that time, the painter who was watching Do-wook from the side clicked his tongue.
“That wealth is no longer yours. it’s all mine Rain, is this guy short of hair?”
“It’s not that I’m lacking, it’s that I’m blinded by greed. If Do-gyeom hadn’t been the author’s uncle, he would have been filial piety long ago and his head would have been caught outside the city gate.”
“What?”
Do-wook was frightened when he realized that he was only a prisoner and could lose his life.
“Yoo Yoo Tae-soo. The words are too harsh. Did you forget that my uncle is a Zhou Zhou?”
“Your uncle and I have already parted ways. Can’t you see me riding a horse in the camp of the defeated army?”
“Hehe, I thought people thought it was because Liu Bei was a hero, but he was just a vassal who lived his life by clinging here and there according to the current. How can you lose your uncle’s kindness and virtue like this?”
“Dokyeom’s grace? What favors did he do me? I can only remember calling in Yejusa to attack me.”
“How can you misinterpret your uncle’s recommendation of you to Yeju Temple?”
“It’s not a misinterpretation, it’s just that I understood the intention properly.”
“Huh~. No matter how many people join the defeated army, how can a person change like this overnight? It is something to lament.”
The painter saw Do-wook’s behavior and stopped talking with a slightly annoyed expression.
“Do you still not know what your situation is?”
“You’ve been captured like this, but you’re not stupid, don’t you know that?”
“Are you too bold for someone you know?”
“Even though I’m being held prisoner right now, sooner or later my uncle will rescue me, even if it costs a thousand gold.”
“That’s why you believe in your uncle, Do-gyeom, and are so confident.”
When the painter made an absurd expression, Liu Bei stood up again and drew the sword from her waist.
“If I swing my sword right here and slit your neck, you will be dead even if I spend 10,000 gold instead of a thousand gold.”
“Hey, you think you’re great because you were taken prisoner before me. I have an uncle who will give me a thousand gold, but what do you have for Liu Bei who betrayed Gongsun Zan? Didn’t you convert because you didn’t have anything?”
Liu Bei looked at Do-wook with a ridiculous expression for a moment and turned her head toward the painter.
“What should I do? Shall I slit his throat right away? Or should I save him and get ransom from DK?”
Seeing Liu Bei’s cold eyes, Do-wook unknowingly shouted at the fireman.
“I am more valuable than Liu Bei.”
The painter watched Do-wook for a while and called Ok-ju.
“General Jade.”
“Your master.”
“Take special care of him.”
“All right.”
A smile of relief appeared on Do-wook’s face after hearing the fireman’s words.
“So it is. Whose nephew am I?”
Prisoners of war were also treated differently according to their status.
Do-wook thought that now he would be relieved of the rope and receive plausible treatment.
“Once everything is tied, let’s drag it.”
“yes.”
However, at Ok-ju’s command, the soldiers knocked on the spear and pulled the rope as if they were chasing animals, and Do-wook looked at Ok-ju with an absurd expression.
His expression seemed to ask, ‘Are you trying to drag me with me tied up?’
When Do-wook stopped walking and looked at Ok-ju, Ok-ju nodded at the soldiers leading the prisoners.
“Leave that prisoner know my subject.”
“Your general.”
pug.
At that moment, the soldier hit Do-wook in the back of the head with a spear.
“Oh shit! How dare you hit me! You bastard…”
“What? shit? you guys Did this bastard go mad to die?”
Puff pup pup pup …..
When several soldiers clung to each other and punched and kicked, Do-wook crouched like a shrimp even with his arms tied behind his back. Then, she hurriedly shouted at Ok-joo, so that even the painter and Liu Bi could hear it.
“If I treat myself like this, my uncle will… goof! Whoops! 으아아악…..”
“병신 같은 새끼가 특별관리가 무슨 말인지 모르나 본데 넌 다른 포로들보다 더 특별히 더러운 꼴을 많이 보게 해 주란 뜻이야. This is a baby. ”
“What?”
Do-wook looked at Ok-joo, Yu-bi, and the fireman in disbelief even when he was being beaten by the soldiers.
Seeing as there was no one to stop it, it seemed that what the soldiers were saying was not wasted.
“This… you crazy bastards, how can you treat me like this when you know who I am… Kuck! Heuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Do-wook couldn’t speak properly, wondering where he got hit wrong, and jumped as if he couldn’t breathe well.
“You must never kill him because he runs away with his wealth to live well alone in a battlefield where all his subordinates and soldiers are dying. He’s a guy who has to go through all the pain he can go through in life, so be careful about beating him so you don’t die.”
“Don’t worry, hitting is our specialty. General.”
After hitting Do-wook just enough to keep him from losing his mind, the soldiers connected the rope to the horse and started dragging it.
“Please save me. I’ll tell my uncle well, and I’ll accept even ten thousand gold instead of a thousand…. Please help me.”
“You fool, get up and walk if you want to live.”
The soldiers seemed to be playing with Do-wook, but the fireman no longer cared and only looked at the two wagons full of riches.
“You’ve collected too many.”
With this wealth, he could buy enough weapons and grain for the army.
After a while, when the fireman led Do-wook and other prisoners to Sopaeseong, Yeopo climbed the watchtower of Sopaeseong and pulled out the flag symbolizing Seoju and broke it.
“Commander. Did you catch DK’s nephew?”
Lü Bu looked down and asked, and the painter waved his hand.
“I couldn’t miss it because I was running with a lot of wealth on my horse. Have you captured it already?”
“yes. Not even a minute after the alumni gate was breached, everyone surrendered and the fight ended very blandly.”
While Yeo Bu was talking, the soldiers opened the south gate, which could be the main gate.
The hwabu rode a horse and proudly entered Sopae Castle.
* * *
While Hwabu captured Sopaeseong, Princess Yeju Jajasa occupied Haeseo and Gokyang and advanced, fighting a fierce battle in Habiseong.
Among the castles that were strong and capable of garrisoning many soldiers in Xuzhou were Paengseong, Habiseong, and Imgiseong, among which Habiseong was an iron fortress that Cao Cao’s Xiahu brothers attacked for 7 days and nights with an army of 100,000 but failed to capture it.
From the attacking point of view, Habiseong is an important base that can attack the whole of Xuzhou, and from the point of view of defending, it is the opposite key point, so there was no choice but to fight more fiercely than any other battlefield.
“Xu Zhou said he couldn’t afford it right after fighting Cao Cao’s 300,000-strong army… How could Xavi Castle be so strong?”
The princess of Yejujaja held out her tongue at the sight of Habiseong, which had been onslaught for over 15 days, but was still in good shape.
Originally, the force attacking the castle was twice as tough as the force defending it. But I didn’t know it would be this hard to overcome.
“It seems that the defense warfare has grown while fighting Cao Cao.”
Heo Jeong, the princess’s soldier, answered without raising his face as if he apologized when his strategy barely worked.
“If only that Harvey Castle was captured, Paengseong would be close by… Is there any more sharp strategy?”
“No more…. Now the only way to capture
it is with the straight attack method…”
At that time, a spleen ran and reported to the princess.
“If it is defeated, is it the messenger of Jin-gyu? What’s going on? Call the messenger.”
“yes.”
After a while, four messengers came in, and one of them stepped forward and saluted the princess.
“Lee Hoon, the messenger of the defeated army, learns about Yeju Temple.”
“The greetings are over, bring the funeral invitation.”
“yes.”
The princess opened and read the burial order that her spleen had received from the messenger.
“Oh~. This looks like a win! The defeated army captured Sopae Castle.”
At the princess’s words, the ministers around her shook their butts and pulled their heads out.
“Liu Bei’s sworn brothers are brave and resourceful, so it’s a place where Cao Cao’s large army was not easily seen…”
“Was the power of the defeated army that high?”
“Hehe, it’s a huge slope anyway.”
“…..”
The report sent by Hwabu does not merely contain the content that the fortress was captured, but the commander-in-chief of the defeated army, Jin-gyu, was in a critical condition after being attacked by a surprise attack by Yang Guk-guk and Sang-guk, who was imprisoned for the crime. was written.
Jin-gyu’s son, Jin-deung, is also in critical condition after being stabbed by a sword, and as a result, Hwa-bu, who led Cho-hyeon’s Hyeonwi-gun, became the temporary commander-in-chief and captured Sopaeseong.
Since the person who wrote the Janggye is a fireman, all the contents are true, but the fireman’s work was revealed as much as possible, and the incompetence of Jin-gyu, Ju-deok, Jeong Tae-soo, and Dong Tae-soo was highlighted.
The princess looked at the messenger in disbelief after reading the decree.
“Did you say Lee Hoon?”
“Your master.”
“Looking at the Janggye, it seems that there was an infighting before attacking Sopaeseong. Please tell us in detail what happened.”
“yes. While the defeated army marched to Sopae Fortress, it was led by two generals named Gwan-wu and Jang-bi…”
Since the messengers were all from Eulji, they deliberately excluded generals with names such as Yeopo and Woogeum for their report.
“I’ve heard about the painter’s teacher, too. I knew that he was only good at medicine, but he seemed to be good at strategy and tactics just like his big brother Hwa-bok.”
From the princess’s point of view, it was important that Sopaeseong fell, and that the position of the leadership changed due to internal strife was not important. For this reason, he praised the fireman’s achievements and paid little attention to the two governors who were almost dethroned.
When the news of the victory was delivered and the princess’s face brightened, the soldiers Heo Jeong and Heo Tang and most of the staff cheered.
Heojeong opened her mouth to the princess.
“The credit of Hwabu, the chief governor, is good news for Yeju-gun, who is fighting a sluggish battle. It is widely known to Yeongcheon-gun, and it is known that it is appropriate to praise him for his achievements and give him a proper reward.”
