Chapter 265. I am who I am (2)
“Sang! of course you have to go down But what can I do to further boost morale?
”
“It was said that if the castle was captured, the castle would be given to the person who ordered it, so isn’t it natural to be the governor of Sopaeseong? Do you think it’s a little lacking?”
“Yeah, I guess it’s not enough.”
“Looks like you have something more to say.”
“I think we should let the messengers from far away rest and discuss the lesson.”
When Heo Jeong glanced at the messengers and noticed them, the princess nodded.
“Oh, I neglected those who came from far away. Hae spleen.”
“Your master.”
“Give the messengers wine and meat so they can rest.”
“yes.”
As the spleen led the messengers out, the princess looked at Heojeong.
“So what more can I say?”
“I thought of a trick to get Hwasasa-seung to attack Paengseong, so I cleared my ears.”
“Are you going to attack Paengseong? Well, Paengseong is not that far from Sopaeseong. But if you captured Sopaeseong, wouldn’t you attack Paengseong even if I didn’t give an order?”
“The governor’s words are correct, but the better the horse runs, the better the fodder should be given. A horse that does not feed can run well and then stop.”
“Okay then, what kind of fodder are you going to give me?”
“If Paengseong is captured, say that Paengseong will also be given to him.”
“what? Do you mean swelling? Paengseong is too big a castle to give like that.”
“It’s a big castle, and it’s as strong as Harvey. If we can’t capture Harvey even with this many soldiers, how can he capture Paengseong?”
“yes.”
“If he loses the strength of Paengseong in a difficult fight, things can be easily resolved if we capture Habiseong in the meantime and go north and hit Paengseong in the back.”
“Ho~. Do you check the power of the Hwa monks and reduce the enemy’s power? That’s a real trick.”
After a while, the princess drew up a letter of appointment stating that Hwabu would serve as both the governor of Sopaeseong and the commander of the defeated army, and that he would serve as the governor of Paengseong in the future if Paengseong was captured, sealed it and sent it to the messenger.

The fireman who saw the letter of appointment brought by the messenger laughed at the news. Zhuge Liang also immediately grasped the letter of appointment and the details and clicked his tongue.
“This is really… you are showing too much condescension while giving what you already promised. And to play Paengseong there….. Wouldn’t it be too greedy? Gongsa’s stance is really nasty.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to put on a jacket and blow your nose without touching it.”
“You don’t need to move in a hurry. This fight is between the princess of Yejusa and the daughter of Seoju.”
“yes. And since we also captured Sopae Castle, the original mission of the defeated army, we have done our job.”
“I have to conserve my strength, so for the time being, I think it would be good to see the situation going back and forth.”
It was the opinion that since no matter who wins between Gongju and Dokyeom, he will be weak, so he should rather aim for the position of fisherman.
“I am of the same opinion. We still need maintenance. Although we won, management is not an easy task. The generals will take care of the soldiers, but what should the officials of Sopae Castle and the powerful families of the county do?”
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment before answering.
“For now, I think it would be better to leave General Liu Bei at the head of the administration.”
“Yubi? It’s not bad…”
After the painter hesitated for a while and pondered, Zhuge Liang realized what the painter’s worries were and opened his mouth.
“A prince’s power comes from the military. If you focus your capabilities only on administration, you won’t have to worry about falling behind.”
“I think we can limit it to administration and let the people of Euldanju serve as assistants. There are a lot of great people, so there won’t be any big problems.”
Work is also work, but Eulji’s subordinates will be able to read Yubi’s thoughts.
Listening to the painter’s opinion, Zhuge Liang put on a satisfied expression.
“yes.”
After a while, Eulji recommended people with excellent administrative skills and assigned them to Liu Bei to manage Sopaeseong.
Although the owner of the castle changed from Liu Bei to Hwabu, the prefecture and high-ranking officials welcomed Liu Bei with open arms, and the castle was quickly restored.
Only then did the fireman stand up from his seat with a less worried expression on his face.
“Now I have to go help the disciples who are being run over by the wounded.”
Even after becoming a commander, the fireman continued to wear a needle around his waist.
When the painter looked like he was going to treat the patient at any moment, Zhuge Liang put on a slightly puzzled expression.
“The Duke of Ju is now the governor of Sopae Castle and the commander of an army of 100,000. It is reasonable to entrust the treatment of patients to disciples and physicians.”
As Zhuge Liang bowed his head, the fireman looked at him for a moment and then smiled.
“right. Efficiency might be better. However, it may be that you forget your duty. Besides, you already have Liang and Liu Bei, don’t you? Being a commander is useless right now, so shouldn’t I go back to my job?”
“I’m worried that it could look light on the nobles. Above all, if gossip circulates incorrectly, that too could become a big controversy, and there might be spies left around… if they harm the commander at all…”
Zhuge Liang’s worries were unfounded.
To the people of this era, being a member of parliament was not a highly regarded profession.
“Ryang-ah.”
When the painter suddenly raised his voice heavily, Zhuge Liang trembled.
“Your master.”
“Don’t try to suggest my actions with customs or fixed ideas. I am me.”
“yes?”
“I am the lawmaker’s fireman, the commander’s fireman is also me, and the governor’s fireman is also me. all of them are mine Can you let go of one of your many guises?”
Hearing the fireman’s words, Zhuge Liang looked as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
He was unable to speak for a while, but as if he had attained some enlightenment, his eyes suddenly changed calmly and his attitude towards the painter became more polite.
“I couldn’t even fathom the thoughts of the governor. sorry.”
“Just as I want to stand on my own, you must know how to stand on your own. Seats do not make me, I sit in them.”
“I will bear in mind the will of the governor.”
food.
The painter let go of the solemn expression he had been wearing for a moment and tousled Zhuge Liang’s hair like a joke.
“You are smart, so you will do well.”
“Zhu Gong.”
When Zhuge Liang made a strange expression, as if he was overcome with emotion, the fireman walked away, touching the salivator.
“You are in a period of growth where you need to grow up. So don’t suffer from headaches and eat well. I heard from the servants earlier that I haven’t been able to eat properly these days. People’s lives are all about eating well and living well.”
When the fireman disappeared, Zhuge Liang put on a dazed expression for a while.
“They say I need to know how to stand on my own…..”
* * *
“Master.”
When the fireman appeared, there was an uproar in the military doctor’s room.
The disciples greeted each other, several members of the parliament raised the courtesy of the monarch, and even servants, soldiers, and escorts. With the exception of patients with reduced mobility, everyone bowed to the fireman.
The fireman tilted his head as if he was a little unexpected when he saw Obo, who ran to the front and lowered his head.
“What about the other guys?”
“Everyone is in the operating room. I just found Master on the way out of surgery.”
“So, where is the operating room where Awa Dangji is?”
“It is over there. I will guide you.”
When Obo took the lead, the painter followed and nodded his head after seeing that despite the large number of patients, they were well classified into various categories.
‘Even if I’m not there, the doctor’s office is working fine!’
When I went into the operating room, I could see that Bun-ah and Lee Dang-ji were concentrating on the operation without turning their heads even though they heard people pretending to be there.
The painter winked at him and told Obo not to inform him of his arrival.
It was because he could make a mistake by being surprised during the operation.
“Please change it to a heated iron No. 3.”
“yes.”
When Bun-ah took out the iron that had been holding the patient’s stomach and handed it over, the assistant received it, dipped it in water, dipped the hot iron into cold water once, took it out, and handed it to Bun-ah.
“Master is here.”
Then, Obo raised a voice for the two of them to hear. Now that the patient’s hand had been taken out of the stomach, there was no need to worry about making a mistake.
“uh! When did you come? Master.”
“I just came. Don’t worry about it and just do the surgery you’ve been doing.”
“yes.”
The painter came closer and peered into the stomach of the patient, which had been opened by Bun-ah and Lee Dang-ji.
“Your left kidney was removed?”
“Your arrows pierced it, and I couldn’t save you.”
“You’re a lucky patient because you can live with just one kidney.”
Suddenly, the painter looked at the patient’s stomach and realized that his hands were itching.
‘I must hurry and treat the patient.’
After giving the disciples simple precautions, the painter came out of the operating room and went to the place where the critically ill patients were lying down.
‘The smell of distilled spirits and the smell of blood that I really hated. I didn’t expect to miss something like this.’
The painter, who used his clairvoyant powers to look after the patients, looked at the patient whose stomach was swollen like that of a puffer fish and immediately gave instructions to Obo.
“Intra-abdominal bleeding is serious. Move this patient to the operating room immediately.”
“Your master.”
“Sir, please save me too.”
“Sir, I think I’m going to die soon…” As
the injured man, chosen by the fireman, was carried on a stretcher and disappeared into the operating room, the remaining wounded suddenly raised their voices and began to shout for help to be treated quickly.
There were a lot of people dying, and there were only a limited number of clinics that could treat them, so dozens of people died every day while waiting.
The same was true when lawmakers screened and treated urgent patients.
* * *
“Yoo Yu Taesu! let me live I’ll do anything you want, so write a letter to your uncle and send it to him. Yoo Tae-soo…..”
Do-wook, who was trapped in the iron bar, cried out while holding onto the iron bar with both hands when Yu-bi appeared.
Yubi stopped walking, looked at Do-wook, and shook her head.
“It’s still up and running.”
“Yoo Tae-soo, Yoo Tae-soo. please save me Please let me out of here.”
As Yubi tried to move, Dowook’s tone changed.
“Do you still think your value is higher than mine?”
“I am not even a flea. Now, please save my worth.”
“As expected, I’m going to have a good time. Chief jailer.”
“Yes, you, Dokwoo.”
“Cut the rice you give to interest in half.”
“All right.”
Do-wook, who heard Liu Bei’s words, was frightened.
“what! half? Hey, I’m barely eating one rice ball a day, so you want me to cut that in half? are you a human How can you do this to me when I have been so good to you?”
“And starve for two days today and tomorrow.”
“All right.”
“Are you hungry? Tae-soo Yoo. Didn’t you say you were poisonous? I just lost my mind and the words came out in vain. Hey, you dokwoo, you dokwoo…..”
Do-wook waved the iron bars and called anxiously, but Yubi walked away without even turning her head.
