Episode 323. Teach your older brother (2)
Hijjuk.
The corner of Yuan Shao’s mouth twitched and went up to his ear.
“Kuh, the eunuch grandson came up with a shallow trick and ended up getting stabbed in the back by a guy called agenda! Hahaha…”
The smile soon turned into a big laugh.
The common aspiration of the feudal lords is to calm the chaos of the Tang Dynasty and become the masters of a new world.
There is no way that the great feudal lord, who started from Seoju, Yeju, part of Hyeongju, and occupied almost all of Ikju, could not be bound by the guise of being sworn brothers.
“It’s not something you’d be happy to do. Eosa Daebu is waiting for the battle between the Duke of Zhou and Cao Cao to drain both sides.”
When the soldier Jeon Feng expressed his concern, Yuan Shao opened his mouth by pointing his finger at the terrain where the fire was located on the map.
“Cao Cao and I will have to destroy each other in order for that congressman’s family to become a reality, but now that I have absorbed most of Gongsun Zan’s power, Cao Cao is no match for me. Furthermore, the army that the congressman brought was only 100,000. Even if the two of them work together, they won’t be my opponent, but they’re using shallow moves. So…”
Tuk-tuk.
Yuan Shao pushed away the words representing Cao Cao’s army with his fingers, and then pushed away the words representing the army of Huo. Then, he pushed the horse representing himself and placed it on top of the sword marking the imperial palace with a thud.
“All I have to do is push the eunuch grandson, kill the councilor, and put the emperor under my feet. Tell the entire army to prepare for a sortie.”
“Juju Gong. Gongsun Zan’s soldiers are said to have turned, but we still have to put in a little more effort…”
When the wind was startled and tried to dissuade them, Shao Shao slammed the table on which the pole was spread with a baton.
“Tsk tsk soldiers are all good, but I have a lot of worries.”
“…..”
“But that concern is not completely unreasonable, so I will leave 50,000 of the troops absorbed from Gongsun Zan to defend the castle.”
“It is a wise judgment.”
Seeing that Yuan Shao’s face was firmly rooted in determination, Jeon Feng bowed his head, unable to put on any more.
After seeing such a wind, Yuan Shao continued.
“In a fight, you have to know how to ride the momentum. Other than when Cao Cao retreats like now, when will he see another opportunity?”
“It is a wise decision.”
As the other master, Zhou Su, began to match the rhythm, Yuan Shao raised his baton high.
“I will wipe out the grandson of the eunuch and the nasty doctor, and I will establish Your Majesty the Emperor. I order the entire army to march.”
“The Duke of Zhou has ordered the march. Open all the gates …..”
Dung-dung-dung-dung-dung …..
The sound of drums rang loudly, all the gates opened at once, and the soldiers remaining in the castle sortied in unison to form an army.
* * *
As soon as Hwabu heard the news that Elemental Element had opened the city gates and sent out a large army, he moved his troops and marched toward Upseong.
“It is said that Yuan Shao’s army is fighting fiercely with Wu Ping’s army in the Wind Plain.”
And in the meantime, a subordinate who had gone on a reconnaissance to the front came back and reported.
The fireman nodded and put on a satisfied expression.
“It’s also Joe. No matter how small the number of soldiers is, there is no way they will be easily defeated by Yuan Shao.”
“If it’s a windy plain, you just need to get over that hill, so if you go half a day more, you’ll be able to help Mupyeonghu.”
At Hwabok’s words, the Hwabu shook his head.
“Brother, I’m not in such a hurry to get involved in the fight in the Plains of the Wind.”
“huh? what are you talking about? Are you really going to stand by the end of the fight between the two? If you do, you may end up fighting with Mupyeonghu forever.”
“When attacking the enemy, you must always aim for a vital spot so that you can win without much effort. The enemy’s vital point right now is not the battlefield of the Wind Plain.”
“It’s the enemy’s vital point… are you really aiming for a karma right now?”
When Hwabok opened her eyes wide, the Hwabu nodded.
“you’re right. If Yuan Shao led a large army, the castle would of course be empty. At this time, if I occupy the castle, elemental food and weapons supply depots will disappear.”
“But Yuan Shao is also a man who knows the art of war. Couldn’t he have left a garrison in the castle?”
“They say they left 50,000 soldiers behind.”
“Fifty thousand! That’s enough troops for Mercury. If you don’t recapture the castle right away, you may be stabbed in the back by the returning elemental army.”
“Brother, that much is already in the plan. Of course, we’ll recapture the castle before Yuan Shao’s return, but even if we don’t, don’t worry, we have plans.”
“What kind of trick is hiding that makes you so relaxed?”
“Strategy is something that changes from time to time depending on the situation of the war, so it’s a bit embarrassing to tell you all about it, so if you watch it step by step, you will understand.”
The fireman twisted the course toward Eopseong and deviated from the wind plain. And while I was on the way, I didn’t even talk to my brother about the stratagem.
It was because there was no way that his brother would betray him, but the words that came out of his mouth could end up in someone’s ears and become enemy information.
When the painter spared his words, Hwabok also began to look at the strategy by following the painter without further questioning.
No matter how fierce the fight was, Jojo and Elemental were equally concerned about the fireman’s movements.
Cao Cao realized why the fireman hadn’t moved for the past few days when the fireman didn’t help him and went straight to the castle.
‘Have you been waiting for this to happen? It’s fortunate that I didn’t hit the back of the head, but I still don’t care about the loss of my troops!’
It was disappointing, but in a way, I thought it was the best move for a fireman who only brought 100,000 troops.
Cao Cao intensified the attack so that the elemental army had no time to pay attention to the fireman, and drove the elemental army frantically.
“Kuh, that’s a lot of poop! Did you think I didn’t know your intentions?”
Yuan Shao was delighted to see such Jojo.
The fortress was not empty, but 50,000 troops were stationed to defend it.
No matter how much Hwabu swarmed with 100,000 troops, it was not a castle that would fall easily.
“Combined.”
“Your master.”
“I’ll give you 50,000 troops, so wait for the Senator to attack the main building before attacking the rear.”
“All right. I will definitely bring the head of the councilor.”
After a while, Zhang He led 50,000 soldiers out in the middle of a battle, and soldiers from Cao Cao’s camp came out to block it, but Yuan Shao also sent troops to stop him from interfering.
In the end, Zhang He successfully led his troops out of the battlefield, and Cao Cao had no choice but to watch it with pity.
“ha! You knew the elements too. Because we don’t have enough troops… We can’t even share reinforcements to help the painter!”
The only thing he could do was wish the fireman good luck.

“I think we can set up an ambush on a small hill in front of the main governor.”
When Bangtong, who had been inspecting the terrain with the advance team, returned and reported to the fireman, the fireman nodded.
“The mountain is a little low for the large army to hide, but the enemy soldiers who will come after us are also in a hurry, so we won’t have the strength to divide the advance party. Turn back the cavalry and hide the infantry and archers.”
“I take orders.”
As the cavalrymen dispersed around the mountain and the foot soldiers and archers began to hide among the forests, Hwabok came to the firemaker’s side and asked quietly.
“Why do you suddenly stop marching?”
“Since Yuan Shao-kun must have known we were moving, he would definitely try to hit the rear. That’s why we dig traps and prepare in advance.”
“I have been delaying this while digging a trap, but if Yuan Yuan’s army breaks your expectations and doesn’t come back, isn’t it just a waste of time? Could it be that the skirmisher identified the signs of Yuan Shao’s forces and made a report without my knowledge?”
“Brother, it is not always necessary for a skirmisher to come and see. Basically, if I do this, I have to anticipate that the enemy will do this and plan a strategy so that even if I suffer losses, I do not suffer a large loss of troops. Of course, if my prediction is correct and Yuan Shao splits up his troops and sends them here, it will be a great achievement.”
“hmm! I don’t understand it well because I don’t know the strategy well… but I’m worried that I won’t be able to capture the castle by delaying the time.”
“If you wait a moment you will see that I am not doing anything wrong.”
As the ambush was over, and the cavalrymen hid in the east and west, at the fireman’s command, in the distance, clouds of dust rose and tens of thousands of cavalrymen could be seen running.
Hwabok’s eyes widened spontaneously.
The fireman’s prediction was exactly right.
‘I thought my younger brother, who was a member of the council, became a great empress because there were outstanding longevity and bookkeepers. When the hell did he study like that?’
Suddenly, he felt ashamed of himself for having scolded his younger brother for neglecting to read the scriptures and reading martial arts or medical books.
“General.”
At that time, the painter called for Yeo Bu.
“Your master.”
“I’m going to cross this mountain with my foot soldiers, so catch all those who follow.”
“All right.”
“Brother, let’s go now.”
“Yeah, I got it.”
Hwabok rode a horse with Hwabu and turned his head and looked back.
Although they dug traps, they are useless if they are not caught. By the way, the fireman was making the enemy chase after the enemy without sending out scouts because the troops crossed the mountain so late.
‘Your mentality is not normal!’
The mountain where Hwabu’s soldiers were ambushed was a low hill that could be crossed in half an hour when riding a horse.
When he was almost over the mountain, Hwabok heard the sound of soldiers fighting and screaming.
“Everyone stop.”
“yes.”
Following the order of the fireman, the generals halted the advance of the soldiers, and the fireman turned his horse and went to the rear. And I looked at the forest where the fight was taking place in the distance.
“Shouldn’t you stay still and go and help?”
“The enemies have fallen into a trap, so there is no need to go to help. It is enough to catch those who are very lucky and have fled here.”
“Although the enemies fall into a trap, if there is a competent general and you break them individually, you waiting here could be rather dangerous.”
“Brother, my generals are superior to those of any feudal lord. And since we have already dug out these traps and reaped many results, trust us and wait.”
“Hmm, got it.”
Hwabok tried to say something more, but closed her mouth.
In fact, he asked these and other questions because he knew that it was too complacent for him to settle down as an administrator.
If you ask a lot of questions to the fireman, you will learn a lot, and you can apply it later when you have to manage the military.
* * *
“Keugh! I can’t believe I made such a mistake!”
Tears of blood flowed from the eyes of the commander who struck down the arrows flying from here and there in the forest.
If it’s an ambush in a shallow hill like this, you can quickly spot it with just a little look. However, because he did not do that, many of his subordinates became fodder for arrows of the enemy soldiers.
‘Should I advance or retreat?’
For a short moment, Zhang He remembered that only about 30% of the soldiers he had brought had entered the forest, and the remaining 70% had not entered the forest.
“Retreat. I’ll retreat and regroup, so everyone keep talking.”
“I want you to retreat.”
Bouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…..
Blowing horns and waving flags, the troopers turned their horses and began to retreat.
Although many soldiers were killed by arrows from all directions, it was now considered that retreating rather than fighting after the archers prevented losses.
Wow,
however, there was a tremendous shout that could not be measured at the beginning of the forest.
‘What is it?’
