Episode 350. Fanning a house on fire (1)
“It means fighting moderately and then retreating. Then come back and sound moderately sick and send out the rear troops.”
“Then doesn’t it look too out of place?”
“Is appearance important now?”
The mouths of the longevity and the secretaries, who had been complaining about Hansoo’s direct questioning, became tight.
Hansoo spoke again.
“You have to use the swarm as well. And since Yeju-gun is not a soldier to be taken lightly, it is not too late to unite and fight for now, and to perform a true non-gong practice after conquering Yeju.”
Until a moment ago, they told me to stand in the vanguard but not to do my best, but in an instant, I changed my words to fight together.
The longevity and the secretaries made expressions of incomprehension, but Hansoo ignored those faces and continued.
“War is the one who survives until the end wins? Now is the time to think about surviving until the end, it’s not important to use one more combat armor. okay?”
“I am surviving until the end, so now I understand the deep feelings of Commander-in-Chief.”
“If you understand, stop now and go. If we gather like this, will Ma Teng see us and think more than conspiring?”
“All right. We were short-lived.”
A long sigh flowed from Hansoo’s lips as the general and the secretaries got angry and vacated their seats.
It was full of things I didn’t like in many ways, but for the time being, it was time to take care of myself.
* * *
Hansoo did not think that what he said to the bookkeeper and generals would leak out.
It was because all the people present were people who could be called his trustees, and the servants who took care of him were also trustworthy people.
However, there was something that Hansoo and his henchmen did not expect, and that was the officials who helped the servants with chores.
The officials were all those who received orders from Eulji, and they rushed to report what they had seen and heard to Hong Seong-yeong, the tactician of Ma-deung.
Upon hearing the report, Sung-young’s eyes narrowed.
“Did you really mean that a military general gathered the scribes and generals and said that?”
“What kind of safety would the small man lie about? I am just saying what I have seen and heard.”
“I heard that a guy with farts gets angry, so that’s exactly what he is. I get it. You will keep an eye on their trends, and if you have something to tell me, run to me anytime and let me know.”
“All right.”
Took.
Seongyeongyoung threw a hermit in front of Gwanno, and after bowing down, Gwanno put the hermit in his bosom and quickly disappeared.
When Gwan-no disappeared, Sung-young went to Ma-deung and told him of Han-soo’s plan.
Sung-Young Sung came back from talking with Ma-Deng and was about to fall asleep when Gwan-No, who had reported earlier, jumped over the wall covered in blood.
“I, Nari… I have something very important to tell you.”
The guards informed Hong Kong that Gwanno had come over the wall covered in blood.
Seong-yeong-yeong was startled and ran to Gwan-no.
It was because I thought that if I had come this far, I would have brought a lot of information.
“I am Nari. Gwan-
no’s voice was as thin as a mosquito’s, and Sung-yeong thought he had one last thing to say before he passed out.
So I got close and listened.
“Yes, I am listening, so tell me. What happened to you?”
“Ha Han-soo’s generals are armed and this way…”
“What? armed? What are you saying? Please tell me in detail.”
Sung-Young Sung’s body naturally leaned towards Gwan-no’s mouth.
hooked
In an instant, a burning pain rose from his chest.
“Gagging!”
“this!”
When was the dagger held in Gwanno’s hand?
Belatedly, the guards rushed at Gwanno, but Gwanno jumped over the fence and ran away with the most nimble movements. The guards alerted and chased the assassin, and some ran to Sung-yeong.
“lawmaker! Call the senator immediately!”
While the guard screamed, Kong Sung-young’s body slowly disintegrated.
Seongyeongyeong is a military man, but always wears a breastplate on his chest. However, Gwanno’s sword slanted through the gap that the Tiger’s Heart couldn’t protect and stabbed his heart.
It was the skill of a professional shooter that ordinary people could not imitate.
“Old soldier. military. Calm down.”
The guard hurriedly drew his sword and tried to stop the bleeding, but Sung Yong-yeong’s soul had already left the body.
Took.
Seong-Young’s head bent helplessly.
It was too futile a death for Ma Teng’s favorite bookkeeper.
Belatedly, the legislator came running, and Ma Deng, Macho, and several longevity came running.
“Suseong military! Castle Military!”
Ma-deng shakes the body of the dead Sung-yeong, but that doesn’t mean he can’t come back to life.
“Quickly treat iatrogenic militia.”
“It’s already been stabbed in the heart, and no member of the council can save it.”
waddeuk.
Ma Teng shouted with eyes red from anger.
“How the hell did this happen!”
The guard explained what had happened a moment ago. At the same time, I could clearly understand what had happened.
In the first report, the ambush didn’t have the confidence to break through the guards, so he just reported it, and in the second one, he disguised himself as wounded so that Sung-yeong did not feel anxious.
“These mongrel bastards!”
Ma Teng immediately issued an order.
“It’s early.”
“Your father.”
“Immediately lead your men and capture Hansoo.”
“All right.”
While Ma Chao, enraged, led his men to Han Su’s camp, Ma Teng ordered the generals to prepare for battle.
* * *
“Danju-sama succeeded.”
It was a report that hurriedly ran and cut both front and back, but Eulji understood the meaning at once.
“Ho! Are you saying you already succeeded?”
“yes. It was before the system was overhauled and we were able to easily create gaps because we were keeping each other in check.”
“So Ma Teng and Han Su are fighting right now?”
“The four soldiers of Ma-Deng occupied the capital and defended it, while the soldiers of Han Su attacked while besieging it.”
“At that point, you could say we’ve completely split up. But who succeeded in that gig?”
“You are the Blue Lion.”
“Good job. The guy did a great job. I will report to my lord and give him a big reward.”
“thank you.”
Eulji went straight to the fire department.
Hearing Eulji’s words, the fireman, the bookkeepers, and the longevity all blinked their eyes in disbelief as if surprised.
“It’s only been three days since Han-soo led his troops and entered Heo-do, but you’ve already succeeded in alienating it?”
“yes. There was some sacrifice, but he killed Hong Seong-yeong, the master of Ma-deng, and when the generals of Ma-deng tried to catch Han-soo, they protested, saying that it was not Han-soo.”
It was unfair from Hansoo’s point of view, but the result was fatal enough to let me omit the cause.
“If the two fight, I won’t be able to turn my eyes to Yeju.”
“Perhaps.”
“If there was an infighting between the main forces, wouldn’t now be the right time for us to attack?”
As the equipment spoke with shining eyes, many other generals joined in.
The painter thought for a while and looked at the broadcasting station.
“What do you think of the military?”
“Now it is better to wait. Right now, we are fighting internally, but if we go on the attack, we may join forces again.”
“But reconciliation won’t be easy if Ma Teng thinks that Han Su killed his tactician?”
“Even if there is no reconciliation, the accumulated time does not change easily. We are fighting right now, but even while fighting, there will be a thin string. If we step out, the connected string will shine even stronger.”
“Then do we have to wait until their fight is over?”
“It’s good to wait, and it’s good to defeat the troops, but how about setting fire to fight more? When a bonfire burns well, you can add dry leaves to make it burn more.”
“What plan do you have?”
“The imperial palace hasn’t been maintained yet, so it won’t be easy to manage because it’s in a messy state and even internal conflicts have occurred. Of course, Eulji Danju’s men must have moved more easily.”
When Bangtong looked at Eulji, Eulji nodded as if he was right.
“Obviously it is. Even if the soldiers fight, they don’t touch the officials.”
“Then it would be good to secretly send someone to the Hansoo camp and tell them a secret passage to enter the city.”
“A secret passage?”
The secret passage to the imperial palace was secretly made by Eulji and Myeongil in case Jojo and Hwabu broke up later.
Eulji had informed Bangtong about this not too long ago.
“The forces of Ma Teng and Han Su are similar to each other. That’s why Hansoo doesn’t attack hastily, and he’s just confronting without even stepping out. But what if Hansu gets a dagger? Having already been stabbed once, wouldn’t you want to stab yourself too?”
“ha ha ha! That’s the trick. It’s a waste of a secret passage… but that’s okay, I just need to recreate it. I’ll have a smart guy leak the secret passage to Hansoo.”
* * *
Quickly.
“Whoever sees it, the chant was killed by an assassin planted by Jojo, so he tried to kill me using that as an excuse! I will definitely cut off your rich man’s head and hang him at the gate.”
The anger of Hansoo, who had a bandage wrapped around his left arm, was great.
He almost had his arm cut off by a macho who had brought troops two days ago, and lost all 10 guards who usually escorted him. If his longevity, including Huseon, did not come at the moment of crisis, he would have lost his life.
“As the commander-in-chief’s day is running out, and the generals and soldiers are very tired, I think we should start today’s attack.”
At that time, Huseon approached Hansoo and let out a short sigh.
Then, Hansoo put on a slightly incomprehensible expression.
“There’s still half an hour left before the sun sets, right?”
“From morning until now… the soldiers are very tired. Because it is such a solid castle, it is difficult to break through in a short time, so if we strain too much in the beginning, we will be in danger later.”
At Huseon’s long sigh, Hansoo turned his head and looked at the imperial castle like an iron ong.
Although the walls were lower than that of Luoyang’s old imperial castle, it was still much higher and stronger than the capital cities of other counties.
Since it is basically the imperial palace where the emperor resides, Jojo also built the castle firmly.
With a strong castle, abundant stockpiles, and an enemy who had been friends until recently, they knew each other well, so even if they changed their attack methods in various ways, they were blocked.
“Whoa~ I want to attack right away and slit my head, but… I can’t help it. I get it. Inherit the soldiers.”
“I will follow your orders.”
Huseon briefly comforted Hansoo’s heart and then forced the soldiers to retreat.
While the soldiers who attacked the city retreated and reorganized their camp, the wounded soldiers, young soldiers, and supply soldiers in the rear hurriedly began to prepare dinner.
Then, a certain soldier found that the wall of the well was slightly demolished and looked around and found a cave that seemed to have been dug by human hands.
The soldier reported this to his superior, and after looking around the cave with a few soldiers, he noticed that the cave extended towards the inner part of the city and hurriedly reported it to his subordinates.
“what! You found a cave?”
“Looking at the four directions, it seems to be connected to the inside of the city.”
At the manager’s report, not only Huseon’s eyes but also Hansoo’s eyes twinkled.
It didn’t matter now who dug it and for what purpose.
A way was found to overcome the difficulty.
“First of all, crack down on the mouths of everyone who learns the truth of the cave.”
“Yes, we have already cracked down and set up guards.”
“Good job. Let’s go.”
“Yes, I will see you.”
