Chapter 355. Illness does not discriminate between people (2)
“What nonsense? Wasn’t Xu Zhu’s army only about 200,000?”
“We knew that too, but in the past few years Xuzhou has had a good harvest, and as a result, refugees from all over the country have flocked to it, and the population seems to have increased considerably.”
“No matter how it is, how could it have more than doubled in a few years… so you hid your troops in Xuzhou?”
Probably. I got goosebumps again.
Hiding the medical history for a long time means that the fireman was secretly developing his power while he was on his agenda.
With this kind of power, the painter was able to enshrine the emperor first. And if the Hwabu had enthroned the emperor, it would have been Hwabu, not himself, who would be attacked by the various feudal lords.
Thanks to his foolish establishment of the emperor first, the fireman occupied a large land without being checked by the feudal lords and increased his troops several times.
Jojo couldn’t speak any more.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu possible possible.”
Then, suddenly, he grabbed his head and began to groan.
“Why are you doing that, Lord?”
“My head hurts like it’s going to break. Ugh!”
“Hey, Senator! Call the senator immediately! Hello!!”

After a while, Jojo suffered from severe headaches until a doctor was called and checked his pulse.
The headache finally subsided after the doctor left acupuncture and hurriedly took the decoction, but the headache did not go away completely.
“Have you had a lot of headaches lately?”
To the congressman’s question, Jojo answered by rubbing the back of his neck.
“I’ve been sick often, but this is the first time my head hurts like this.”
“Can’t you get a good night’s sleep?”
“Well, almost. How many people can sleep soundly on a battlefield like this?”
The senator let out a short sigh and then spoke.
“My head is overtaxed from overexertion. Just as the longevity uses too many arms, the limit is reached, and the head of the chief is also in the same situation.”
“A lot of people’s lives are lost or preserved intact because of my decision. But can you not use your head?”
“Your body is sending signals that it has reached its limit, but if you ignore it, it will eventually collapse. It is for this reason that retired veterans do not show the same strength as before.”
“Among the retired veterans, sometimes there are those who show as much strength as when they were young. When you break through the limits of your body, you can enter a new realm.”
“The body may be, but the brain can collapse if overworked. Please do not take my opinion lightly and get plenty of rest.”
The congressman used the word “collapse” to imply that he could go crazy.
food.
For a moment, a smile crept across Joe’s lips.
“A normal person’s brain could collapse from overwork. But I’m different. Whatever the body was, the brain will also go beyond its limits.”
“Juju Gong. Please…”
“It’s done. You’ll be near me from now on. If you get a headache, just like today, you can drop the acupuncture and take the decoction.”
“Acupuncture and decoctions are just a makeshift solution.”
“I know my body well. This headache won’t shake me.”
Jojo suddenly changed his attitude and showed a resolute appearance as if he had been sick.
He is the mental support of hundreds of thousands of troops. Showing weakness lowers the morale of the army.
The feudal lord could not rest even if he was sick, and could not collapse even if he was injured.
“…..”
The councilor closed his mouth, realizing that his words could not break Jojo’s stubbornness.
“Stop going out.”
“Your master.”
When the councilor left, Jojo got up from his seat and lightly turned his neck.
The headache, which had gradually been diluted, was now almost gone.
“Whoa~. It’s nothing. Just as an occasional stomach ache is not a fatal disease, it is possible to have a headache once in a while.”
In fact, Jojo was trying hard to control his mind.
I once saw a fireman opening the head of a fallen soldier to cure a headache. that suddenly came to mind.
‘I’ve never had a serious head injury like that soldier… so it’s just a brief headache.’
Anxiety that a small bottle can become a major disease.
However, such anxiety would be nothing more than a complaint to the soldiers who are facing the enemy and crossing the life-and-death juncture.
“Hello.”
“Your master.”
“Call the secretaries and generals in the camp and gather them. Now that we know that the fire department has a large army of over a million, we need to discuss countermeasures.”
“I think you’d better take a break for now.”
“It just gave me a headache for a while. It’s fine now, so hurry up and carry out the order.”
“All right.”
* * *
At least 1,500,000 troops just by roughly drawing out the troops of the fire department.
In a normal meeting, various opinions are divided and the voice is raised to make one’s own point.
However, none of the bookkeepers and longevity who heard how strong the fireman was was unable to easily come up with a countermeasure.
The colors on their faces were all dark, as if a dark cloud had hung over the hall.
“Are they all dumb who ate honey? Why are you so silent?”
At Cao Cao’s words, Guo Jia struggled to open his mouth.
“As long as the strong Xiliang army was unable to use its strength properly due to division and was defeated by Huabu, the emperor should be considered to have left our hands.”
“Hadong, Hanam, Hanam, Donggun, and even Heodo all fell into the hands of the fireman.
“Right now, our forces cannot regain lost ground.
“What do you think of the soldiers?”
“I think what Kwak said is right. So far, the soldiers of Hwabu have been fighting a war that has rarely been lost. In other words, they can be said to be elite soldiers as good as us, but if there is a difference of more than twice the number of troops, of course it is best to lock the castle gate tightly and prepare for defense.”
“While we are only defending ourselves, Huabu will absorb the Western Liang army and occupy their lands. Then, becoming an army of 2 million is a matter of seconds.”
“While Huabu absorbs the Xiliang army, we just need to absorb the troops of Elemental, who escaped with Yuju and Byeongju.”
“Even if you absorb them all, it won’t make you a million.”
“It’s not a million, but instead you don’t have to worry about being attacked from the back when we fight firemen.”
“Are you saying you can’t recover lost land after all?”
The lost land didn’t just include the land, it also included the emperor.
The symbolic meaning of enthroning the emperor to the feudal lords of this land was great.
The cause that Jojo himself enjoyed is passed on to the painter.
“I might find one someday, but right now it’s too much. Fortunately, Sunche of the Yangzhou side is strong, so if you unite with him, you will be able to greatly threaten the firemen from above and below.”
“The painter and Sun Ce have a pretty close relationship.”
“Any feudal lord becomes a public enemy the moment he appoints the emperor. Sun Ce will also have ambitions, so we won’t be able to remain in a close relationship forever.”
Cao Cao agreed with that.
“I’m going to send an emissary to question Sun Ce’s intentions.”
“You can’t just play around, you have to convince him… I’ll go back to Yangju once.”
“Shungun himself?”
When Cao Cao opened his eyes wide as if slightly surprised, Xun Yu nodded.
“I have to go to move Sun Ce’s heart.”
If someone important had to go, the other person would also listen.
“Giju and Yuju haven’t been leveled yet, so the General Commander is going to vacate his seat?”
“There are many talented bookmakers besides me. In particular, Bonghyo is better at the geography of Yuju and Byeongju than I am, and has a better plan, so he will make a big move to catch Wonsang or Wondam.”
Bonghyo is the daughter of the Guo family.
In this kind of place, calling someone who is not a name or position corresponds to the case of exalting the other person to that extent.
“Bonghyo?”
Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu with his eyes wide open, slightly startled.
“My plan is brighter than General Commander-in-Chief? What are you talking about?”
“Didn’t you tell me the other day about the alien world that separates Wonsang and Wondam? If you do as it is, there will be no difficulty in taking part of Yuju and Byeongju.”
“There are many things to improve on that ploy, as the commander-in-chief said.”
“Haven’t you already thought of something to improve on?”
“I’ve thought about it…”
“Even if I’m not there, I’m sure you’ll be able to come to a good conclusion if you consult with other bookmakers.”
Guo Jia put on a slightly embarrassed expression, but then nodded.
“All right.”
“The vacant position of the governor will be filled by other bookmakers. So send me quickly so that I can win Sun Ce’s heart.”
Jojo thought for a moment and then nodded.
“I get it. I will write you a secret letter, so go to Yangzhou and meet Sun Ce.”
“yes.”

It took only a few months for the owner of Heodo, where the imperial palace was located, to change from Jojo to Ma-deung, from Ma-deung to Han-soo, and from Han-soo to Hwa-bu.
The officials who were connected to Cao Cao all fled when Ma Teng occupied Hedo, and the vacancy remained until the soldiers of Huabu reoccupied Hedo.
Since the functions of the imperial palace had already become obsolete, the vacancy of the officials was not greatly felt, but the emperor felt empty and anxious, as if more than half of the ribs in his chest had disappeared.
Now, who else will come and seize the imperial power with all sorts of condescension in order to uphold himself?
Since Hwabu’s soldiers are in control of the imperial palace, Hwabu seems to be coming, but is he really the same as Jojo? Or will it be different?
The emperor was an emperor, but he was already in a pitiful situation, having become a nameless emperor without a handful of real power.
“Your Majesty, I heard that you were hardly serious today. I’m afraid that if I skip the grain, I’ll damage my body.”
It was Zhuge Liang, the general commander of the fire department, who made a worried expression while bowing to the emperor.
After Zhuge Liang took control of Heodo and deployed soldiers throughout the imperial palace and outer city, he visited the emperor’s residence every day to take care of various comforts.
“I have no appetite these days. Anyway, what happened to Godfather?”
“It is said that on the way to Luoyang, he met the Xiliang army, won a great victory, and obtained the surrender of Ma Deng. I received the news of victory this morning, so I will come to pay my respects to Your Majesty soon.”
“Hehe, the fact that Godfather Hwa, who has a good personality, won the victory, puts my mind at ease.”
“Godfather Hua is different from people like Jojo and Ma Teng.”
Zhuge Liang highlighted the fireman by cutting down Jojo and Ma Deng.
“I’ve always thought that Godfather Hwa was different from other feudal lords.”
When the emperor chimed in, Zhuge Liang’s mouth went up.
What Zhuge Liang was doing now was pre-recognition work so that it would be easier for the emperor to accept the difficult things to be said when the courtier came to meet the emperor.
“Perhaps because Godfather Hwa’s subordinates resemble him, there is no one who is not outstanding among generals and tacticians.”
“Just by looking at you, I can guess how brilliant the others are.”
“Cao Cao’s subordinates are only for Cao Cao, but our godfather’s subordinates are all for His Majesty and the people, so we can discuss the 100-year history of an empire.”
When Zhuge Liang spoke with an iron plate on his face, Heonje smiled bitterly.
Unless you’re an idiot, why don’t you know Zhuge Liang’s intentions?
But I couldn’t help but follow.
‘This guy or that guy… they’re all the same, what should I expect?’
