Episode 236. Making Lu Bu a subordinate (1)
“What! You said you captured Lu Bu alive?”
The fireman who was treating the wounded was in disbelief when he heard Janggoe’s words.
To be honest, I told them to capture Lu Bu alive if I could, but I didn’t expect too much. However, Jang-goe, Woo-geum, and Haman fulfilled the order that they thought they would not be able to do.
“yes. Congressman. However, he was not in good condition and was seriously injured.”
“You can’t catch a follicle-like appendix without injuring it. Where are you now?”
“Guard Ha and Guard Wu are bringing them, so they should arrive soon.”
Within a few breaths of Zhang Kai’s words, Wu Jin and Ha Man appeared with Lu Bu, who was wrapped in bandages and tied with ropes on a stretcher.
gulp.
The painter involuntarily swallowed dry saliva.
“Is Lee really a follicle?”
“I am the owner of a red horse that has been hit by arrows for generations and has run more than a corner. The follicle will be sure.”
“Please move me to the operating room.”
“All right.”
“Hey, by the way, is there any reason for you to save Yeo-po and bring him back, Senator?”
“It’s too wasteful to kill.”
“yes? Are you saying it’s not worth it? What do you mean?”
“You will know later.”
“Mr. I don’t dare to go against the wishes of the Congressman, but looking at his actions so far, he is not a trustworthy person.”
“After I save you, I’ll try to persuade you well.”
“yes?”
how about gold? I wanted to ask the question, but the painter went into the operating room with his disciples.
* * *
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… Who are you?”
The moment the painter forcibly opened his mouth and tried to administer the anesthetic, the follicle woke up.
“I am a Member of Parliament.”
“A member of the council?”
Yeo Bu tried to move her body, but when she couldn’t move, she realized that her body was tightly tied with bandages and ropes.
“What are you trying to do with me?”
“How do you do it? I am a doctor, so of course I will treat you.”
“Are you treating me? Are you all the doctors of Ha Nae-gun?”
“no. We are members of the same county.”
“Why is Donggun treating me?”
“I have been treating allies and enemies alike.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“It doesn’t matter whether it makes sense or not right now, and if you keep saying things like this, the chances of me saving you are getting smaller and smaller. Do you really want to die?”
“….”
“If you want to live, drink this.”
“What is this?”
“It’s a medicine that makes you feel no pain while I heal your wounds.”
“Isn’t this an anesthetic?”
“How do you know the anesthetist?”
“If you use an anesthetic… are you, by any chance, a firefighter called the faithfulness of the battlefield?”
“I’m called Hwa-ta, but this is the first time I’ve heard of the word trust on the battlefield.”
“That’s right. It’s the fire of the god of the battlefield. I wasn’t destined to die yet.”
Lu Bu had no time to think deeply.
If he had thought deeply, he would have been worried that he had been caught and tied up, but he couldn’t.
“Come on, drink this. That way we can heal quickly.”
“I get it.”
Yeo-po didn’t know who had heard the rumor about the fireman, but she suddenly felt quite relieved and gulped down the anesthetic.
After a while, symptoms of delirium appeared and when Lu Bu began to talk nonsense, the fireman inserted a needle into his ear and neck, then put his mouth to his ear and whispered softly.
“Originally, you would die if left alone, but you came to live after being treated by me. So I am your lifesaver.”
The painter’s disciples just tilted their heads as they did not know what the painter was doing.
After a while, when Lü Bu passed out, the fireman, together with his disciples, untied the bandages on Lü Bu, cut the rope, and began examining the wounds.
* * *
‘I’ve seen many well-trained bodies, but I’ve never seen a body as well-trained as Lu Bu!’
The painter stuck his tongue inward as he sutured Luo Po’s wide open breasts, looking at the muscles that were developed to the smallest detail.
The strong muscle stiffened the moment the blade pierced it, so it cut only one-third of the thick pectoral muscle.
It is said that the people who attacked Yeo Pu were Woo Jin and Janggoe Haman, so this wound, which is presumed to be Do Sang, must have been Woo Jin’s long sword.
For the purpose of this capture of Woo-geum, there may have been circumstances in his hand, and there may have been some that Yeo-bu avoided at the moment of crisis, but basically, there were some that the blade could not go deep because the muscles were too developed.
‘With this much trained muscle and skin, a knife stabbed by an ordinary person could be deflected.’
The painter focused his energy on the tip of the needle for the first time in a long time while stitching muscle to muscle.
If you concentrate your energy, the knife cuts well and the blade does not break, so the needle also sews well and does not break.
The thick and tough muscles of the follicle made it difficult for a needle to pass through without concentrating energy.
‘That’s why later generations of scholars expressed Lu Bu as an appendix among appendixes.’
After the fireman finished stitching the chest, he also looked at the stomach that had been pierced by a spear.
Contrary to expectations, the thick and tough muscle layer was perforated. But even so, no matter how strongly the muscle layer gripped the blade, the internal organs were not damaged too much.
‘Because he would have been hit by a spear sent by Guard Jang, so if he was an ordinary person, he would have been pierced through the back. It’s a really great body in many ways.’
The painter had to concentrate his energy every time he used a needle and a knife, so the surgery was several times more difficult, but he admired it so much that he didn’t know how difficult it was.
* * *
The fireman assigned two executioners to assist Lu Bu when he recovered. And he himself frequently visited and pretended to check on the condition of the patient, repeatedly making suggestions.
As time passed, Yeo-po, who at first treated the fireman as a competent doctor, gradually changed his mind and began to regard it as a lifesaver. And in the meantime, he found out that he was in Donggun’s Uicheong.
“Jojo will kill me when he returns.”
“If you were my enemy, I would kill you, but if you were with us, I wouldn’t.”
Yeo Po also learned that Hwabu’s older brother was Hwabok, the governor of Donggun, and that he was leading soldiers to Hanaegun and attacking Hanaegun’s capital city.
It was all intentionally informed by the painter.
“You want me to be your subordinate? What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Otherwise you will die. I tried my best to save my older brother, but I can’t stop him when he says he’ll kill you.”
“My wounds have healed, so please let me escape. I will definitely repay the favor later.”
“Where are you going to run away? Ha Nae-seong said that it would take two days to hold out well, so it must have been captured by now, so where to go?”
“Yuyubi. I am friendly with Yubi. He will accept me.”
“Currently, Liu Bei is staying at Xiaopai of Xuzhou, the enemy of Cao. What are you going to do with that little piece of land?”
“Still, if you go to Liu Bei, he will provide you with a place to live with your family.”
“Brother Jo failed in attacking Xuzhou this time, but will he fail again later? Hyung Cho is now the owner of a huge power, starting from Cheongju, Yeonju, Dong-gun here, and soon to Hana-gun. If time passes and you refine your forces and attack Xuzhou again, you won’t be able to stand it even with the help of Liu Bei and Kong Rong. Are you going to run away again then?”
“If I join forces with Liu Bei, even Jojo will not be able to cross Xu Zhou hastily.”
“Wo, you are seriously mistaken about something, but what kind of power do you have right now? Most of my brother’s men and soldiers were killed, and those who surrendered were captured or absorbed into the forces of the Eastern Army.”
“….”
“And if I let you run away, and you go to Sopae and join forces with Liu Bi to help DK, what will I be to you? Will there be more traitors?”
“That’s right. I was thinking only of myself, I didn’t think of your position.”
“At best, I saved someone who was about to die… I’m really disappointed. Lie down for treatment.”
“That’s right.”
The painter made the excuse that sleep is good for recovery and put Yeo-po to sleep. And when I was half asleep, I made another suggestion.
“To repay the favor, even if it means sacrificing one’s life, is a true man.”
* * *
Dripping…..
Tears flowed from Lu Bu’s eyes.
Now that Yeo-po has recovered a lot, she can go out of the treatment room.
He thought a lot while watching the fireman enthusiastically treat the wounded, and was shocked to learn that longevity such as poultices and janggoes were the fireman’s bodyguards.
– To repay the favor, even by giving one’s life to the life saver, is a true man.
Oddly enough, these words kept popping up in my head.
‘They’re helping Congressman Hwa because they owed their lives. They were the real men.’
Suddenly, I looked back at myself.
Up until now, he had only thought of getting ahead with his superior military power.
Even though he is now living like a dog that has been eaten by a dog, he thought that one day, when the time comes, he will conquer the world like a dragon ascending to heaven.
However, when I looked back at myself calmly, I was just a soldier with superior military power than other people.
I met the right time, enjoyed wealth and fame in the imperial palace, and tried all sorts of evil things, but after that time passed, I returned to my original self.
‘Yes, it is not a man who puts a pretty earring on Chosun’s ear and flaunts it, but a man who knows how to repay kindness. It is because they are real men who have learned martial arts comparable to me and became the bodyguard for Congressman Hwa.’
For some reason, he felt that his masculinity would be denied him if he did not join the group.
‘I am a man among men. Let’s make Congressman Hwa my lord.’
After making up my mind, my heart felt relieved, as if a heavy stone had been put down.
After a while, Yeo Bu went to Hwabu and got down on one knee and made an oath to serve as his lord, just like Woogeum had done before.
The fireman’s mouth, which received Yeo-po’s oath, opened like a hamstring gourd.
‘This must not be a dream.’
* * *
Cao Cao, who attacked Xuzhou, could not kill Do-gyeom because of Gongsun-chan’s reinforcements and Gong-yong’s reinforcements.
Cao Cao, who lost a lot of troops and was unable to take revenge, returned to Yeonju and was in disbelief when he heard that the Dong army had not only defeated the Lu Po army but also had captured the capital of the Hana army.
In fact, Cao Cao gave 10,000 troops to the Eastern army, but he did not think that he would be able to stop Lü Bu’s 100,000 troops.
To the extent of holding out with Suseong and then barely running away to Cheongha-gun behind them and working together to hold out with Suseong. He thought that if Chunghagun was pushed back, he might run away to Fuyangseong.
Since Fuyangseong was a great castle that Cao Cao also valued, he had 50,000 troops, including Cao Hong, Cao In, and Sun Wook and Jeong Wook, to guard it.
However, it was said that Hwa-bok, contrary to all expectations, actually won the battle and captured Hana-gun, so I couldn’t believe it and was curious about the inside story.
