Episode 295. Heo Heo Sil-sil (2)
“It is said that Ju Gong Liu Pyo set out from Gangneung two days ago with an army of 100,000.”
Concern appeared on the fireman’s face as he headed toward Dokhyun at the report of his subordinate. Now half a day is enough for me to be self-sufficient.
To think that I was marching out at this point…
I’m worried about what’s going to happen after I go on like this, and my heart is heavy to go back. In a situation where either choice was difficult, the words of a subordinate suddenly remained in my memory.
“100,000?”
“yes.”
“Then isn’t that almost all of Liu Biao’s power? This is so…. Is this what Suseong attacks without even thinking about it? You seem to have made up your mind.”
Thinking that his taste was bitter, the painter looked back at Zhuge Liang, thinking that he would have to return.
“Isn’t it better to go back as well?”
Surprisingly, Zhuge Liang’s expression was calm.
In fact, Zhuge Liang is the one who should be more surprised than the painter right now and think about the next step. Doesn’t that mean he’s already thinking about something?
“Looking at your expression, you must have a conspiracy.”
“I’m sorry, lord. In fact, when I left, I was already expecting Liu Pyo to attack.”
“so?”
“So I sent an advance party ahead of the main army. So you don’t have to worry about it.”
“An advance team?”
The painter turned his head and looked at the woman. It was as if he knew, too. Other than that, except for three or four, the faces were quite surprised, but the fireman was able to roughly grasp the situation only then.
“It seems that the great general has already received a word from Zhuge Lieutenant.”
At the words of the fireman, Lu Bu nodded with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“Your soldiers have already asked you to prepare before departure.”
“So you sent an advance party?”
The fireman’s voice became a little heavy.
Only then did Yeopo feel the painter’s expression grow cold, and swallowed dry saliva.
“So now… we anticipated the enemy attack and prepared for it, and the opponent is several times ours. Is that right, military?”
coo kung.
In an instant, the fireman’s momentum changed.
Zhuge Liang was surprised to be overwhelmed by the fireman, and lowered his head and opened his mouth.
“sorry. main ball. This is not a plan to deceive the Duke of Ju, the general and I are just sincere…. A gift to the Duke of Zhou… We want to surprise him a little…
” It’s not something I don’t know.”
The fireman raised his head.
All the generals did not dare to meet his eyes and hurriedly got down on one knee. Then all the soldiers followed and fell to the ground.
“Does the military know war as a joke? When a fight breaks out, hundreds or even tens of thousands of people die. What is the reason for putting our heads together, worrying, and coming up with a plan? To kill one less and to save one more. However, it was as if a man called General Commander had sent his comrades whom I cherish dearly to death just to give me a present. Now, I’ll ask you about the trick you’re so confident in. Tell me in detail what defenses you did. If you are not satisfied, I will ask you, my commander-in-chief, for the crime of driving my comrades to death!”
At the stern words of the fireman, Zhuge Liang hurriedly began to explain the plan he had prepared.
“The first time I told the governor of 20,000 troops… I’m really sorry, but it was to move Liu Pyo. I asked the General to tell Liu Biao’s Sezhak that me, my brother, and the Duke of Zhou were secretly moving together, and Liu Biao was caught up in it and came running with the entire army. I’m really sorry, Mr. I didn’t mean to go against the will of the governor… I thought that leaving Liu Pyo in Gangneung in a situation where Jojo might change at any time was more dangerous than having a knife stabbed in the back at any time. However, the goodness of the Duke of Zhou is too great… It is very clear that he will not plan Gangneung… All of this is my fault, and the general has merely listened to my request. Please, just punish me and the general…”
“No, Jugong. Even while talking, the soldier said let’s talk to the governor several times. It was me who dried it. I am the one who should be punished.”
Lu Bu interrupted Zhuge Liang’s words and stepped forward.
In fact, listening to Zhuge Liang’s words, the fireman was very angry. If you look at the situation calmly, Zhuge Liang’s judgment is correct and Lu Bu’s thoughts are correct.
‘The ruler… is so soft that his subordinates come up with a ploy considering their heart!’
The tactic of empty heosilsil.
Wow… such a ploy to use the disposition of such a monarch in an amazing way. Even so, seeing the two caring for each other, I was naturally grateful to Zhuge Liang and Yeo Pu.
“Keep talking. What next?”
After that, a series of ploys according to the prepared time flowed from Zhuge Liang’s mouth. The fireman was fully aware of how much effort he and his brother had put into concocting this ploy.
However, even so, their tendencies will not change easily.
“…So, while we draw the attention of the enemy, create traps, and seek loopholes, the rearguards from Hefei will occupy Changsha and Muling, securing all waterways and land routes. Then Liu Biao’s army will be conversely trapped in a dock.”
When Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the painter closed his eyes for a moment to gather his thoughts, then tilted his head and opened his mouth.
“There must be a bookkeeper in Liu Biao’s camp, but did he really leave Chang and Mu Lung empty that much?”
“If there is, it will be very small. I came out with all my might with the thought that I would somehow catch him.”
“But what if not? Do you have any other means at that time?”
“In preparation for such a case, the troops who attacked Jangsa and Mureung were ordered to turn their troops to this side immediately if they did not succeed with a single attack or if the enemy’s defense was stronger than expected. Then Yu-pyo will be like a rat in a dock.”
“So, we have 20,000 troops. Wouldn’t it be difficult to last that long against 100,000 people? In order for things to happen as you say, there must be enough troops to confront them here… Are there other troops besides us right now?”
“Oh, I was trying to hide this… but the main character is really amazing. How did you know that?”
Jegal-ryang and Jegal-geun Yeo-po opened their eyes wide in surprise, and the painter made an absurd expression.
“Then it must be a river. He must have brought the cavalry.”
“You are great. main ball.”
“Looking at his expression, he must have thought I wouldn’t notice.”
“Hehe yes. Because the Duke of Zhou was always treating only patients at the medical office…” “
Tsk, I admit that your strategy is excellent and secret enough to deceive not only the enemy but also me. But since I know the entire pulse, can’t you see it if you think about it for a bit? And no matter how much I treat patients, I have never lost my mind on this side.”
“sorry. main ball. I was foolish and deceived the governor for a while.”
“no. It was a good tactic for a good enough ploy. But I hope not to do that in the future. After all, isn’t war a game of people’s lives? If my life is precious, the lives of others are also precious. Take a closer look and ponder. That way, even one less person can die.”
“I will keep in mind the governor’s words.”
“The ploy is great, so I’m just going to put it into practice.”
“I accept the order of your lord.”
When the painter was no longer angry, Zhuge Liang and Lu Bu wiped away cold sweat.
* * *
“Keugh! I have to inform the main lord, but…”
There was a distant sense of despair in the eyes of the monster running with dangling arrows on his thighs and shoulders.
Goeryang had joined the reconnaissance party to inspect the enemy camp.
The reconnaissance party consisted of 1,000 cavalrymen, divided into 5 cavalry units of 200 men per unit, and departed one day ahead of the main unit and half a day ahead of the advance party to reconnoitre the enemy.
The monster was included in three of them. During reconnaissance, he discovered that the enemy was digging a trap and tried to report back, but he was discovered and attacked.
Of the 200 cavalrymen, about half were killed when the enemy attacked first. Fortunately, in return, I was able to outrun the enemy by a considerable distance.
Although the sacrifice was great, I thought it was a great achievement because I knew the enemy’s intentions in advance, but arrows rained down from all sides suddenly.
The enemies dug another trap and were in ambush, but unfortunately they ran away there.
Most of them died in an instant, and only two of the five guards escorting the gunmen and generals barely survived and continued to flee.
rattle.
In the meantime, the horses’ feet got caught in a snare that would be used when hunting wild boar.
While all the horses struggled in the snare, the three managed to get out of the snare.
“I have a good outfit, but if I don’t have this much strength, where am I supposed to be a soldier? Just looking at it, it must be a motherfucker.”
A group of soldiers appeared in front of the three and pointed their spears at them.
The two guards risked their injuries to break through the encirclement of the soldiers, but went to the underworld after being unable to sustain a few breaths due to the spears wielded by the opposing general.
The monster sat down as he watched the opposing commander open his mouth while pointing at him with a spear from the back of his horse.
After only half a day, I was exhausted physically and mentally.
“How could they have dug traps like this already?”
It takes a lot of effort and a lot of time to dig such a deep and secret trap.
Did you do that in less than half a day?
Even if he mobilized all his forces, he would have had to take four days to make this much…
“Already? When was the last time you dug a trap? ah! You guys know we’ve been here lately. That’s why you’re so surprised.”
“what! Yes, have you been there before?”
“You don’t need to know when you were here. If it were a longevity, I’d kill him. Tie him up and mount him on a horse.”
“yes.”
The soldiers tied the monster to a rope and carried it on horseback as if it were a piece of luggage.
As Goe-ryang was captured by the enemy camp, he could see that most of the scouts who had come with him had been killed or captured.
‘You’ve been thoroughly beaten. But what are they?’
A strange sight came into the eyes of the monster who was lamenting inwardly.
At first glance, they looked like the scouting party that had come with them, but there was no way they were all that well. And crucially, they were having a conversation, but it was the Yeju accent, not the local accent.
‘Chi deception!’
Since Goe-ryang is an excellent strategist, he knew at once what they were trying to do.
When I pricked my ears, I could hear their conversation better.
“Seeing you guys being pursued, Liu Biao’s advance team will surely come to help. You have to act well then. It’s as if they mistake them for enemies and run away to where General Kwan is ambushing them. Then they must…”
‘You’re trying to deceive the advance party and lure them into a trap! what to do with this I have to tell them somehow…’
The monster felt sorry for and anxious about it, but there was nothing he could do right away.
After a while, enemy soldiers disguised as scouts rode on horses in the direction of the advance party, followed by about 2,000 cavalry.
tight.
The monster finally closed his eyes, unable to see any more. But what was to come was good in his eyes.
“What is this guy, why is he tied up like this?”
At that time, I heard a voice saying that someone had found a monster and asked a fellow longevity.
“I thought that no matter how unscrupulous he looked, he wasn’t a guy who used his brain. I want to take you to the military.”
“A guy who uses his head? Hey, are you a mother-in-law?”
The monster kept his mouth shut without saying anything.
“Where is this bastard pretending to be dumb?”
Shuaang.
At that moment, the general swung an iron club and tried to hit the monster’s head.
The monster was frightened. He did not know that his opponent would try to kill him so quickly.
Caang.
Then another spear came in and blocked the iron club.
“what? Why stop?”
“I caught it with the intention of finding out something, but you can’t kill it.”
“Just looking at it, you can see that he’s acting like a rat, but it’s easier to just kill a guy like this right away.”
“Killing. You can kill at any time if you want, but there is no need to rush. Hey, are you a motherfucker?”
The monster was startled a moment ago, but kept his mouth shut.
“Look, it takes a lot of effort to find out whether or not the mother was born, but other information can be found. It’s better to just blow your head clean.”
When the general wielded the iron club again, the monster assumed that the general with the spear would of course block it this time as well.
“Yeah, even if I thought about it, this guy wouldn’t tell me anything. And even if you tell me, it will be false information. I’d rather just kill them.”
‘what? Oh…’
Suaaang.
spot.
The monster reflexively tilted its head back, and the iron rod passed by, narrowly brushing his forehead.
Instantly, my forehead felt as if it had been set on fire, and goose bumps all over my body.
‘The Lord is dying!’
The gore didn’t have the time to riot any longer.
“Wait a minute. I am the counterfeiter. I am Liu Biao-kun’s necromancer!”
