Episode 237. Making Lü Bu a subordinate (2)
‘The strength of the Eastern army was reinforced by the 10,000 soldiers I sent, Wu Jin, and several generals under his command. Absolutely no one can stop them. Then, who the hell killed Yeo Po? Are you a fireman?’
As Jojo thought deeply, he remembered the fireman.
He already knew that the fireman’s insight was higher than that of mothers like Sunuk or Kwak.
If you have a high level of knowledge, you will be bright in strategy and tactics.
However, no matter how bright the strategy and tactics were, it was impossible to defeat 100,000 troops with 20,000 troops in a situation where there was only one strong general.
I don’t know if the opponent is a group like the Yellow Turban Red Army, with poor military discipline and poorly equipped weapons, but Lu Pu’s army is an elite soldier that even he is difficult to deal with.
‘I’ll have Sun-wook find out the inside story, and I’ll have to meet the painter in the near future.’
Cao Cao wanted to run to Donggun right away, but he had just finished the war, so he had to do maintenance first.
* * *
After being appointed as Cao Cao’s military, Shun Yu first created an organization to collect information.
After being ordered by Cao Cao to investigate the battle between the Dong Army and the He Nai Army, Shun Yu immediately dispatched men to receive and collect information from the Three Commanders. And he reported it to Jojo.
“The Sama Sangdan donated a huge amount of war materials to the East Army?”
“Your master. It is said that they supported hundreds of thousands of bows and arrows, a huge amount of oil that could turn the entire Jegok Plain of Donggun into a sea of fire, and iron.”
“How did you buy such a huge amount of goods when the Donggun didn’t even have any money? Could it be that you bought it on credit?”
Soldiers sometimes provide supplies in exchange for a battle in which victory is certain.
However, Jojo tilted his head while asking the question.
Whether viewed objectively or subjectively, the strength of Dong’s army was incomparable to that of Ha Nae’s with Yeo Bu.
It could be said that the monarch, who could never win, was forcibly brought to victory by supplying war materials.
I couldn’t imagine what the hell he would offer in return.
“Among those who follow Congressman Hwa, there is a merchant named Eulji.
In an instant, Jojo’s eyes widened.
Eulji was always like a shadow attached to the fireman’s side.
A very long time ago, when the painter introduced Eulji, I heard that Yeonju was running the top end of the Amsang line.
Although the group image is classified as sunny, it could be said that it is almost similar to the dark image in a way.
“Danjura…. Was he a tycoon with that much power?”
“I have been researching Eulji through Sejak, but I have only found out that he runs a small guild called Yeonga Sangdan and runs a few Giru and gambling houses. According to the governor, it seems to be a dark place.”
“To think such a big man was following the fireman! That’s amazing.”
“Oh, and not too long ago, Onhu became Congressman Hwa’s escort.”
“huh? what what! W W W Onhu became Bu’s bodyguard?”
For a moment, Jojo was so startled that he stuttered.
“yes. It seems that he admired Congressman Hwa, just as General Woogeum did.”
“Ah, no matter how much he admired him, he was the one who fought for the world with the other feudal lords.
“I don’t get it either, but all the informants said that. I think you should check it yourself when you go to Donggun later.”
“I guess so. Heo, since Onhu is the fireman’s escort officer… It’s absurd to say the least.”
Jojo shook his head in disbelief when he thought about it again.
“Oh, and the principal. Didn’t I tell you the other day that the Duke of Zhou is now a great feudal lord covering a large land, so there is a need to make a seal?”
Since Sun Jian discovered the royal seal in the imperial palace and flailed it, rumors were circulating that Shao Shao and Gongsun Zan were making their own seal to solidify their power, albeit unofficially.
All the feudal lords who showed their greed expressed their ambitions to become emperors by creating a justification for this or that.
“It did. But, in my opinion, it is still premature.”
“But with the Seal of the Seal, a cause is created. And you can give your subordinates a job. Now, even if the Duke of Zhou wants to appoint the governor of the castle, he has to raise the order one by one and get permission. In that case, it would be better to create a royal seal and bestow government posts on your own.”
“Well, Sungun is right, but why would other feudal lords imitate the emperor by making unofficial seals? You should think about it. It’s convenient, but it’s because it loses its justification after you’ve got the Emperor in your hands. That’s why, even if it’s cumbersome for me, I’m going to file a funeral order in the imperial palace.”
“Whoa~. If the Lord has such a clear mind, I won’t recommend it any more. And in any case, someone like Congressman Hwa must be reaped by the governor.”
“I think so too, but I can’t convince you because I insist on only lawmakers.”
“Rep. Hwa is not a person who can be persuaded just by persuading him with any words.”
“Then what should I do?”
“You just have to be nice to your close family. In fact, why did Congressman Hwa protect Dong-gun and give Dong-gun the strength to defeat Hana-gun? It is because my brother is the governor of Donggun.”
“Hmm~. Then, should Taesoo Hwa be given a higher official position?”
“Yes. Only then can we win Congressman Hwa’s heart.”
“Then should I give you a seat for the performer?”
“It’s not right now, but you have to promise to give it in the future.”
“If you do that, you will surely win the fireman’s heart. I get it. Sooner or later, when I go to Donggun to meet Hwabu, I will have to talk about the promotion of Hwadaesu.”
Jojo was coveted as a painter, but he was also a talented person who wanted to continue to support the painter.

“How have you been?”
Sao and Sajuk, the two leaders of the Sama Merchant, bowed their heads deeply toward the fireman.
“Yeah, I was fine. How have you two been doing?”
“yes. Thanks to Congressman Hwa’s help and investment, I’m even better than before.”
“Through Danju Eul, I heard that the Sama Sangdan has become an unrivaled merchant in the military world. Oh, and thank you for your great help this time.”
“Compared to the help we received from Congressman Hwa, it is weak.”
“It’s weak. I don’t know what to do with too much help. If the two of you had not helped, my brother and I would have been evacuating to another castle by now.”
“The reason we were able to help Congressman Hwa was all because Congressman Hwa, Danju Eulji, and Danju Myeongil made huge investments. It is insignificant compared to the grace that solved our difficulties, which were so difficult that we could not see an inch ahead.”
“What I did was invest.”
“There is no investor who invests and does not care whether the business is doing well or not.”
“Haha, I’m good at patients, but I’m an outsider in the business world.”
“Hey, but Congressman Hwa. I looked for it earlier, but can’t you see Uncle Lawa? Where are you going?”
At the words of the two brothers, the fireman slightly turned his head to look at Obo, who had been snooping this way from earlier.
Unlike usual, Obo was fidgeting like a pooped puppy.
It was only that Obo did not hold a wedding ceremony with Sarah, but since the couple had a pregnancy, they could have been brother-in-law and brother-in-law with Sao and Sajuk.
Normally, in such a relationship, they should have greeted each other before greeting the fireman, but the reason they did not was because the two brothers did not know the relationship between Obo and Sarah.
The reason why Obo couldn’t confidently reveal that he had become Sara’s husband was because the difference in status between Ohbo, who was from a slum, and Sama Sangdan, a wealthy family and a wealthy merchant, was too great.
‘A tsk guy should be confident.’
The painter knew the feelings of the misinformation, but hoped that he would not cringe.
“Boy, come here and say hello to your brothers-in-law.”
So I thought I’d give it some strength.
“omg! Master Su.”
At that moment, Obo was so surprised that he stuttered to the end. And the brothers Sao and Sajuk didn’t know what they were talking about at first, but were shocked when they realized it.
“The brothers-in-law? Senator, could it be that Ra got married?”
“Sarah has sent a letter to her two older brothers by personal mail, but there is no reply, so the wedding ceremony has not been held yet. However, I have been living with my disciple Obo for a long time, and I recently got pregnant, and now I am living with the guard of the shrine by finding a house near the painter’s shop in Chohyeon.”
The painter deliberately emphasized the word disciple.
Sao and Sajuk hesitantly looked at the approaching Wu Bao with a strange expression, hesitating as if they had committed a crime, and then got up from their seats.
“Oh, long time no see. brothers.”
Obo first bowed his head toward Sao and Sajuk.
“Yes, yes, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. Oh Senator.”
“Brother-in-law who suddenly appeared… It’s very awkward… but… to have someone to rely on. I feel good.”
When Sao unexpectedly half-reported, the tension on Ohbo’s face eased slightly.
“I should have gotten permission from you two older brothers… I’m sorry.”
“no. We are too busy to be in Luoyang and we are constantly wandering around the battlefield. I heard from Congressman Hwa today that Ra sent a letter to us personally, so how could I have gotten permission? Still, it is fortunate that someone like Congressman Oh came into contact with Ra.”
The fireman made everyone sit down and asked Bun-ah to serve tea as the three stood and calmed each other’s awkwardness. Then, he gently raised the misinformation.
“Only Obo is the only disciple who can completely perform the large and difficult surgery of opening the patient’s stomach or head without my help. That’s why the two of them welcomed the name of the future best in the world.”
Obo laughed awkwardly at the fireman’s praise, but there was great satisfaction in Sao and Sajuk’s eyes.
Because the two of them were in the military, they knew how high the status of the fireman, who had a reputation for his faithfulness on the battlefield, was.
In fact, one of the reasons the two were able to succeed as a group was because they properly sold the name of the fireman.
In most cases, when those who were trying to cut off money or cut money said that the person who invested in the Sama Merchant was Hwa-ta, the god of the battlefield, they changed their attitude at once and even gave them a higher amount of money.
“Haha, in the future, my brothers will not have to worry even if they are sick. My younger sister is a doctor who trains with the best doctor in the world, and my brother-in-law is the best student of that doctor, so what kind of diseases are you afraid of?”
The fireman had a little more conversation, then naturally got up and allowed the three of them to have time to get to know each other and interact.
The fireman got up from his seat and after a while, when Bun-ah and Lee Dang-ji entered, the laughter started to grow and they soon moved to Juru to have their own time.
