Episode 300. Cao Cao was in danger (1)
Yu Pyo’s soldiers, who hurriedly headed for Gangneung Castle after fleeing the pursuit of Ye Ju-gun, were frightened by arrows instead of opening the gate.
“How could the city be already in the hands of the enemy?”
Stumble.
When Liu Biao stumbled, Wei Yan hurriedly helped him.
“Calm down, Lord.”
“Calm? Can you calm down now?”
“Even though the castle is occupied by enemies, we still have 30,000 troops left. You should be able to get your castle back.”
“I was deprived of food, skipped meals, and fled for several days until I arrived
.
No matter how much his subordinates comforted him, at this point he began to feel that his era was over.
Spears and claws…..
Then, suddenly, some of the soldiers started fighting each other.
Quite a few people suddenly started fighting and it turned into a big fight, so not only Yu-pyo, who was crying, but also the staff had to pay attention.
“What’s the matter, are you making such a fuss?”
“I will come and find out.”
“Stop it immediately and bring the person in charge.”
“yes.”
Gwak Ik and Munbing took their generals and rushed to the place where the commotion broke out, and soon put an end to the commotion and brought the instigators of the fight.
Liu Pyo was the one who caused the self-restraint in such a desperate situation, so he planned to punish him severely.
Those brought were about a dozen cavalrymen and twenty foot soldiers.
“What were you fighting about?”
As Kwak Ik and Moon Bing brought those who had been brought to their knees, Liu Pyo asked the two groups.
The first to speak was the representative of the infantry group. Judging from the helmet and uniform, he seemed to be of a military rank.
“I and my men were hungry and ate porridge with hay, and the cavalrymen saw it and got angry, so a fight broke out.”
“You made porridge with hay? To die of hay…”
“That’s right. But I was so hungry I couldn’t help it.”
Liu Pyo wanted to get angry, but harsh words did not come out of his mouth.
‘Hehe, a soldier making porridge with hay… that’s disastrous!’
Liu Biao asked the group of cavalrymen.
“Since the same colleagues ate some porridge with hay, is that something to fight with each other?”
“But sir. Our horses don’t have enough hay, so they feed on the surrounding grass. But how can we bear it when we stole and ate the precious hay?”
Hearing the words of the cavalry representative, Liu Pyo naturally blushed.
No matter which one would be rich, everything was because he was an immoral sochi, so he couldn’t come up with anything to criticize.
“joy.”
Then the commander of the infantry snorted and opened his mouth.
“We stole and ate hay, but didn’t you guys eat the horses? We know that he went out to look for grass and came back after eating a horse.”
“What bullshit? We accidentally found and ate a dead horse hit by an arrow, not the horse we were riding.”
“Right now most of your horsemen are walking around in silence. What about all those words? Didn’t you eat all of them because you were hungry?”
“I ate the dead during the war, so how can you make such a ridiculous argument…”
“Stop! Enough, both of you!”
Liu Biao could no longer hear the words of the soldiers on both sides and shouted to stop them.
There was no shame like this.
“Everyone, go back to camp. This incident happened because of my negligence…”
Ududududu…..
At that time, the gates of the castle opened, and an uncountable number of soldiers poured out.
Liu Biao could not speak anymore and tried to order preparations for war.
Khu-kung kuk-kung…
Then another sound came from the field behind. The main body of Yeju’s army, which had been chasing so far, was approaching in the form of a wide spread and siege.
When the hell did they even get there?
“Form the entire army line.”
At Liu Biao’s cry, the cavalrymen mounted their horses and the archers grabbed their bows like clubs.
Foot soldiers with broken spears.
Unlike Liu Pyo, the soldiers had no will to fight.
Arrows are needed to shoot a bow, but stocks have long since run out, and the reality is that a broken spearhead is worse than a bamboo spear.
Udu-du-du-du…
At that time, a part of the cavalrymen suddenly ran out.
Liu Biao was greatly taken aback by the sight of the cavalry moving even though the attack order had not yet been given. Moreover, what was absurd was that the direction the cavalrymen headed was not towards the enemy, but towards the west, as if it had been intentionally left empty, and the despondency increased.
“Up military.”
“Your master.”
“Send messengers to the enemy and tell them you are surrendering.”
“Joo Joo Gong!”
“done. What more would you do to fight in this situation? Not only did he not have the strength to fight anymore… he would die if he fought. Hurry up and send the messenger.”
“All right.”
Wei Yan did not dare to say anything, but he himself realized that he had already lost the battle, so he shouted loudly so that the entire army could hear.
“Everyone lay down your weapons. I will surrender, so lay down your weapons.”
When Wei Yan’s command was given and the drums resounded pitifully, the soldiers laid down their weapons and collapsed to their knees.
“I should have listened to the monster… I was stupid!”
Yu Pyo looked up at the sky with devastated eyes.

Xiahoudong brought the seal to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was very happy and presented the seal to the emperor.
After recovering the lost seal, the emperor was overjoyed.
“Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and saw the seal I thought I lost. Thanks to Wu Ping Hu, I feel this kind of joy.”
“Since His Majesty is so happy, I don’t know what to do either.”
“What did you say your name was?”
“My conviction is Hahudong.”
“Yes, Hahu Gong. I want to congratulate you too. Is there any official position you want?”
“I just ran errands, so how dare I ask for a government job? I’m just admiring that His Majesty is happy.”
“Heh heh, it’s okay, it’s okay. How can this be called a small ball? If you are a man, you should know how to show off your achievements and receive awards.”
When the emperor looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao nodded and looked at Xiahoudong.
“It is not the law of a servant to dare to refuse, even though His Majesty is about to bestow a position on his own.”
“Then I will tell you without hesitation. The government official that Soshin wants is a farmer…”
Hahudong intentionally said the word farmer slowly, keeping an eye on Jojo and the emperor.
I saw Cao Cao’s eyebrows furrow all at once, and the emperor tried to make an absurd expression.
‘As expected, farming is greedy. It’s unfortunate, but I’ll have to ask for an official position below him.’
“I want to be a member of… and become a grand master.”
After Xiahudong’s words were finished, Cao Cao’s expression, which had been frowning for a moment, straightened, and the emperor nodded as if in agreement.
“It’s Daechangryeong… What do you think of Mupyeonghu? From the viewpoint of Gwa-in, it seems appropriate if it is at the level of Daechangryeong.”
The emperor had told Ha Hudong not to pay attention to Queen Wu Pyeong, but he himself was asking permission from Queen Wu Pyeong.
“Even in my opinion, it seems that Dae Chang-ryeong is worthy of merit.”
“Okay, then Jim will give Hahu the post of Grand Chancellor.”
“Your last name is ruined.”
Hahudong was sorry that he did not become a large farmer, but because he knew his dishes, he bowed and received the government post.
Daesong is in charge of the palace finances, and Daechangryeong under him collects taxes in each province.
There has never been so much Congo deprivation as the taxation of whales.

Not long after he gave Xiahoudong the position of Grand Chancellor, a Zhangjie came up in the imperial palace, and the content was that Zhangjie’s nephew, Jangsuran, led the dead Zhangje’s soldiers to occupy the city of Nanyang.
The leader of the completion was the one who gave a lot of troops to Won-sul, but he was the one who immediately surrendered to the painter when he defeated Won-sul.
Hwabu didn’t have the energy to take care of Namyang because he was fighting with Liu Pyo, but the general occupied Namyang’s completion, aiming for the gap.
Wanwan, which is the northern part of Jingzhou, is adjacent to Yezhou, so it was a short distance to reach Hedo, where the imperial palace is located, in about 15 days if you lead an army.
There is no need to worry if you have a lot of troops in the original city of Yezhou, but at present, all of Yeju’s troops are fighting Liu Biao in Jingzhou, so only 20,000 troops for Suseong were all. For this reason, Jojo sent Pabalma to Hwabu and hurriedly marched toward Namyang with 150,000 soldiers.
After reading Pabalma’s letter from Jojo, the painter hurriedly called the important officials for a meeting.
“The completion of Namyang has been occupied by a merchant. What should I do?”
At the question of the fireman, Zhuge Liang opened his mouth with a rather serious expression.
“We have just finished fighting and our soldiers are injured and exhausted, and we have divided our forces into Mureung and Jangsa to block the retreat. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to attack the completion because I haven’t even been able to take care of the post-war now.”
“But Namyang is the land of the Duke of Ju. The general took advantage of the moment when we were distracted by the fight to occupy the land of Jugong, and if Queen Wu-pyeong captures Wanhwa, then Queen Wu-pyeong’s troops will be stationed there, and then Namyang will become the land of Queen Wu-pyeong.”
It was Bongchu Bangtong who refuted Zhuge Liang’s opinion.
The hwabu did not yet give them office, but they still gave them the right to attend the meeting and speak.
When the painter gave them a chance, they, who were cautious at first, gradually began to speak out.
“The relationship between Queen Mu Pyeong and Duke Zhou is close, so it’s nothing to worry about. And there is no guarantee that the army of Mupyeonghu will attack the general and win.”
“How many generals are there?”
The one who opened his mouth this time was standing.
“I am looking into it now.”
“Then, how much is the army of Wu Pyeonghu?”
“He said he was heading south with 150,000 troops.”
“If it’s 150,000, I think you can estimate the general’s army to be around 100,000.”
“Perhaps.”
“It will be a worthy fight if you hold on to Suseong from the position of a longevity, and it will be a difficult fight if you face each other.”
“I don’t know what kind of person the general is, but I aimed for a gap in completion at the right time. That means that there is an excellent counselor or a longevity person who has the eyes to see the trend. It will not be an easy fight, no matter how uneventful it may be.”
“Who is the longevity’s counselor?”
“I haven’t figured that out yet either. As you all know, all of our capabilities have been focused on this war.”
“Then, first of all, I think we should send people to Namyang to find out the military forces occupying the completion area, the military commanders, and the military provisions, and then discuss the strategy. Right now, our soldiers are not strong enough to make hasty moves without knowing the enemy.”
“What do you think, the governor?”
After several people exchanged opinions and got some direction, Zhuge Liang asked the fireman.
The painter closed his eyes for a moment, thought, and then opened his mouth.
“It’s true that I was a bit taken aback when I heard that Namyang had been taken over, but as Lord Sima Hui said, it seems right to recognize the enemy first. Eulji Danju moves people to understand the dynamics of Namyang, and the general, please use your strength to properly deploy those who were captured and turned into allies. First of all, I will send a letter to Mupyeonghu. I think it would be enough to say that it is difficult to move right now because the war here is not over.”
“All right. I follow the command of the governor.”
