Episode 347. Jojo’s unexpected move (2)
Rudder.
The iron baton in the flower pot’s hand, which was listening to the messenger sent by the painter, was bent like candy.
“Retaliation, my older brother is dead! What nonsense are you talking about? No matter how rich you are, if you talk nonsense like that, I might have your head cut off.”
“This is a letter from the governor to you.”
When the messenger took out the sealed letter from his bosom and handed it to the guard, the flower pot received the letter with trembling hands and opened it.
No matter how violently he shook his hands, the bamboo sticks collided with each other and the rattling sound did not stop.
Tears suddenly flowed from the flower pot’s eyes, which had been unable to take its eyes off the letter for a long time.
In the letter, the fireman’s earnest tone was intact, requesting that the bottle be delayed for a moment.
If the painter made such a sad request, the older brother was really dead.
I didn’t accept it with my heart, but I had to accept it with my head.
“My brother is really dead! He followed the eunuch grandson as his brother-in-law and took out all his liver and gallbladder… In the end, he was only taken advantage of and stabbed in the back of the head! Poor wealth…”
The flowerpot cried bitterly for a long time, and the servants could not hide their tears.
Hwabu told them not to raise troops, but Flower Pot issued an official letter to the governors of all the castles to send generals and soldiers to fight Jojo the next day.
Xuzhou was a land that was greatly devastated by Cao Cao in the past. However, over the past few years, thanks to the flower pot’s good governance of Xuzhou, it has almost recovered its former castle, and the land has become fertile, and now it has become a good land to live in so that no one is starving to death during this war.
When the flower pot raised an army to fight Jojo in the car where strength was gathered, the governors actively joined in and sent outstanding generals, soldiers, and soldiers.
In Seoju, there were 200,000 soldiers assigned to his brother by the fireman of Bon City, and 100,000 soldiers hidden in Haomun through Eulji and Myeongil.
Even the troops increased by about 30% in a few years, and the number of troops revealed by the loyalty to Hwabu and the vengeance of the governors increased to about 500,000.
The 150,000 soldiers hidden in Haomen were still hidden.
While gathering soldiers and preparing for war, a messenger came from the North Sea.
“Emissaries from the North Sea have arrived.”
“In the North Sea?”
The pot made a puzzled expression for a moment.
The North Sea was once a place where the fireman pacified Seoju and left it as a place of political asylum for Do-gyeom while trying to pacify it together.
“I get it. Stop by.”
“yes.”
“It is said that it is Wangsu who is serving Taesu Gongyong.”
After a while, several envoys came in, and Wang Su, the representative of them, came forward and raised an obeisance, and the potted plant’s eyes widened.
When Cao Cao attacked Xu Zhou in the past, Wang Su was the one who made a lot of contributions to help Xu Zhou’s army repel Cao Cao’s attack as a sergeant under Gong Rong.
“What happened to Jinang in the North Sea all the way here?”
“I heard that the flower pot company’s brother was preparing a fight with Cao Cao to get revenge for a big and unsavory incident in Luoyang.”
For an instant, the brow of the flowerpot furrowed slightly.
In fact, he had already fully guessed why Wang Su had come.
“Yes. Do you think Beihai will lend an arm in the fight against Cao Cao?”
“Yes, Taesu-nim has been an enemy of Jojo since before. In my heart, I want to lead the troops right away and rush to the imperial palace to protect His Majesty the Emperor, who is suffering, but unfortunately, Cao Cao’s power is so strong that he was only looking for an opportunity to avoid it.”
“Gong Rong’s loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor has even been praised by his younger brother Fu before.”
“Our governor also sees the loyalty and love of the people of Hwabu Eosadaebu and says that he is a person to be followed often.”
“Tsk, I don’t need to say anything unnecessary that I was pretending to be with my brother. Is there anyone in the world who does not know that my younger brother was a sworn brother to Jojo?”
When the pot suddenly changed his attitude and said something bitter, Wang Su made a puzzled expression for a moment, but hid the expression that was soon revealed.
“Although he kept his pretense, he praised him saying that he should definitely imitate his love for the people.”
“Praise the person who pretended… Well, let’s just say that. Didn’t you come to fight together with Jojo in the gap between your relationship?”
The flowerpot deliberately used rather vulgar language rather than noble expressions.
“Yes, if we and Mrs. Hwa join forces, we will be able to greatly defeat Cao Cao.”
“I’m happy to say that we will fight together, but something feels awkward.”
“yes? Are you embarrassed? I don’t know why you say that.”
“Now that you have heard the news, Cao Cao will know that my brother is dead. So, at least I have to express my condolences, right? But seeing that he is empty-handed, do you think Gong Tae-soo has no such manners?”
For a moment, the king could not hide his puzzled expression.
“When our governor holds a prize at the painter’s house later, he will officially send a delegation to condolences.”
“It must be a mourner who is more interested in jetbap than ancestral rites.”
“Wow, sir. Why the hell do you look at our Taesu-nim so dearly?”
Wang Su could no longer endure the flower pot’s provocation, and when he became angry, the flower pot’s eyes narrowed.
“The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Governor Gong, who had been hostile to us until now, has come and sent an envoy to unite, so how can we welcome him?”
“But we are going to attack our common enemy, Jojo. Although it is a small force, it will surely be of great help.”
“It’s a problem to think of it as help. Gong Tae-su’s intention to fight together is to fight Cao Cao and benefit from it, but you’re saying that you’re helping me, right?
“Of course… wouldn’t it be true that it would help Mr. Hwa’s revenge?”
“Hahaha…..”
Suddenly, the pot started to laugh, and Wangsu frowned and did not open his mouth.
The pot, which laughed loudly for a moment, stopped laughing for a moment and opened its mouth.
“If you say it will help, just ask. How many troops do you have in the North Sea?”
“It is possible to reach 100,000.”
“Then I will have to leave 30,000 troops for Suseong, so I can bring 70,000 troops to fight Cao Cao.”
“It is.”
“If Cao Cao subjugates Qi and Yu, where do you think he will turn his troops?”
“Shouldn’t I turn it over to Mr. Eosa Daebu?”
“No, if I were Cao Cao, I would divert those troops to the North Sea.”
“yes? What nonsense are you talking about? The North Sea is not a land that Cao Cao would covet.”
“The reason why Cao Cao had not attacked Beihai so far was because Governor Gong Rong had a strong friendship with many popular figures in the imperial palace and learned figures in the ruling party. I want to eat, but it takes a lot of work to eat.”
“That hasn’t changed even now.”
“No, a lot has changed now. Now, Jojo has assigned his own people to all important positions in the imperial palace, and he has accepted as many learned people as his subjects. So, there is no need to be embarrassed by the governor’s connections anymore.”
The flowerpot deliberately did not say that Jojo no longer had to worry about the filth splashing because his relationship with the painter had already become stained with filth (condemnation from the world).
There is no need to say anything unfavorable to take the initiative in the conversation.
“Even so, Cao Cao would not bother to lead an army all the way to the North Sea.”
“Is it really so? It takes a lot of force to turn the troops. Even if Jojo mobilizes all his strength, can we guarantee that he will win against us? Moreover… leaving the enemy sharpening the dagger behind.”
“Of course, we could be a thorn in Jojo’s eyes, but would you care as much as the fire department, Eosa Daebu, who has a huge army?”
food.
For a moment, the pot made a funny expression and took out a letter from the painter a while ago.
“Do you know what this is?”
“…..”
“This is a letter from my younger brother asking me to take care of myself for a moment, as he was concerned that I would get excited and attack Jojo.”
Cheer La Rock.
When the flower pot opened the book, the contents immediately caught my eye.
Wang Su, who saw the letter with the seal of Eosa Daebu, knew that the flower pot was not lying.
“So you’re not going to fight Jojo?”
“No, we will fight. But not now.”
“Looking at it on the way, you have already called many soldiers to the capital city, right?”
“You have to go out to fight. Are you fighting because an army has gathered in the capital city?”
“…..”
“I know why my brother sent this letter. So, until the time decided by my younger brother, I will hold a military demonstration, but I will not go to war.”
“Even though my older brother is dead, turning the grudge against the deceased later… Of course, it’s not a bad choice.”
“Can you guess why my brother sent me this letter?”
“well. Surely you didn’t send the letter expecting Cao Cao to attack us first?”
“Cao Cao wants Ma Teng and my brother to fight. In the meantime, he intends to subdue Kiju and Yuju and prepare perfectly to fight my younger brother.”
Flowerpot did not bother to say that North Korea was included in the preparations for the fight.
Wang Su’s face had already turned white, and he had already heard enough of the answer.
The pot took a breath for a while and then continued.
“You understand now? Governor Gong Rong should have asked for help, not when he said he would help me.”
“Once our Beihai falls into Cao Cao’s hands, Master Hwa will have a hard fight.”
“Tsk, is this still an unappealing threat? If you heard the term Jinang of the North Sea, you would have understood me enough.”
“…..”
The king’s lips did not dare to open any longer and closed like a clam.
“Go and tell Governor Gong Rong. Come under me if you want to live. Don’t make foolish comparisons with only 100,000 troops.”
“I see. I will tell Tae-soo that.”
“Yes, go ahead.”
When the flower pot beckoned, Wang-soo walked out of the company hall with drooping shoulders along with the entourage who had come with him for a long time.
‘I thought he would be furious like a fire because he was gathering troops, but he wasn’t easy enough to benefit from my three tongues!’
I thought he was an insignificant person who became a member of the Xuzhou company thanks to his younger brother, but as I experienced it, he was the lumber of a feudal lord with eyes that encompassed the whole.
* * *
Upon hearing Wang Su’s report, Gong Rong’s face became red as if it were about to explode.
“I told you to come downstairs if you want to live?”
“Yes Taesu.”
“Heh heh, he’s got guts because he’s missing one bracken hand. You don’t seem to know how scary Jojo is.”
“It just didn’t seem like that.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I went to see the flower pot company and saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered in the capital city.”
In an instant, Gong Rong’s eyes widened.
“Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, since it is a vast land of Xuzhou, you can gather enough to attract them. But why are you making that face?”
“I am not surprised by the large number of soldiers. What surprised me was that the armed status of the soldiers was much better than ours.”
“what? Hundreds of thousands of troops, but they are better armed than us?”
In an instant, Gong Rong’s eyes widened.
Gong Rong himself has been preparing for war for a long time because he intends to fight Cao Cao. However, the North Sea was not a very large land, so the population that could be requisitioned was limited.
For this reason, we have long focused on improving quality rather than quantity.
Are you better than them?
