Chapter 362. (1) Son Gwon and
his party, who paid condolences to Hwabok’s portrait, sat face to face with the painter, the flower pot, and Buna Yunju.
When Sun Quan told him that he had healed Sun Ce, who was injured in an assassin attack, the fireman’s eyes widened.
“….If Senator Buna hadn’t been around the city at that time, my brother would probably have died.”
“Hehe, it’s a thousand times fortunate. Alas, a lot of work. You have done a lot of great things.”
“It just happened that I was there at the time. It was no big deal.”
“And thanks to Congressman Bun-ah’s arrival, I was able to avoid playing around with Soon-wook and Sang Seo-ryeong’s tricks.
“Farming?”
The fireman tilted his head.
“Shunwu came as Cao Cao’s messenger. By the way, it seems that Congressman Buna was in a hurry for treatment, right? I pretended to go back and wrote this world.”
“Heretic world?”
“yes. The assassin disguised as a coachman was planted under the guise of a government official, but Congressman Buna recognized it and informed us. So the assassin died, and Xunwu Shang Xu Ling was captured, decapitated, and sent back to Cao Cao.”
In an instant, the fireman’s eyes widened.
Xun Yu was Cao Cao’s most cherished and talented scribe, and he could be compared to Zhuge Liang. And historically, he was also a man with a long time to die.
But he is already dead. It’s also because of buna.
If there is no sunuk in the war with jojo, it is a very favorable condition for the fireman.
“You cut Sunwook’s head! Heh heh…”
“He denied with three tongues that he left no assassins, but who would believe that?”
Sun Quan smiled slightly as the painter laughed.
In fact, he came to pay condolences on behalf of his brother, but the purpose was not simply to send condolences.
He came to suggest that we attack Jojo together by strengthening our friendship with Hwabu.
“If I killed Soon-wook… Jojo would go into a fit of rage.”
“I am Jojo, who killed Eosa Daebunim’s older brother through a ruse. I don’t deserve to play. Of course, Xun Yu also dared to use a cunning ploy against us, so he did what he deserved to die.”
“I am also an enemy of Jojo, and you are also enemies of Jojo. Did you come to say that we should join forces to attack Jojo?”
“Yes, although our military is weak compared to that of Hwabu Eosa Daebu, aren’t Hwabu Eosa Daebu and Jojo living together under the same sky? Let us fight together.”
“Yes, it will be much easier with you guys. But the teacher takes a little bit. If you join forces with me to attack Cao Cao, it would be like giving back to the cult leader, would that be okay?”
“We are fully concerned about the leader himself. So, for some time now, Jegal has been watching the Namhae and Changhae forces.”
The word salpin means that you are preparing to fight.
“Do you have the strength to fight Cao Cao while fighting the cult leader?”
“Me and my older brother thought it was too much, but Jegal said it was enough. I don’t know what you mean yet, but you’re not someone who speaks easily, but since you made a big statement, it must be because you have that much confidence.”
The fireman’s brow furrowed slightly as he listened to Sun Quan’s words.
The war was not something that could be waged with confidence.
“There are many variables to consider in war. It’s not that I don’t believe in Zhuge, but there must be a reason why he didn’t say it. It seems that the son-in-law took a hasty step.”
The fireman maintained an attitude of not being in a hurry at all.
Forming an alliance with Yangju was important, but more important than that was the condition of the alliance.
Son’s brother already owed a lot to himself, and this time he owed even more as a bonus. It is not possible to be equal in a game where the military strength is also very different.
When the painter spoke about the lack of preparation, Sun Quan immediately understood and brought out the words Zhuge Kun had hinted at.
In fact, Sun Quan was also aware that he would not be able to form an equal alliance. However, if you bow down from the beginning, you will be forming an alliance on worse terms than expected, so you saw the liver first.
Sun Quan trembled slightly and opened his mouth.
“Haha, I can’t stand the fireman’s father-in-law. Actually, it’s not that Zhuge didn’t say anything, but he asked me not to tell anyone about it for the time being, so I said it in a roundabout way.”
“What strategy did Zhuge’s military come up with to make such a boast?”
“Currently, the leader is isolated by the power of Hwabu Eosa Daebu and ours. And because of that, the religious leaders themselves are very anxious.”
“That much was expected.”
“Sergeant Jegal found out that Sa-seop is a member of the religious leader, but does not cover all the governors. The governors of Namhae Gyoji Ilnam-gun are brothers of Sa-seop, so of course they give him strength, but the rest of the governors of Guji Happo Chang-o are at enmity with Sa-seop.”
“That is amazing. Even if we come together as one, if it is divided into a board that is difficult to handle.”
“yes. Well, it wasn’t to the extent of setting up an angle like Ma-deung or Han-soo, but to the extent that the governors who were pushed back in the struggle for leadership were trying to take the initiative.”
“To think that a tiger is roaring outside the house and arguing over the bedding inside the house.
“Yes, so Zhuge Liang said that even if we and Hwabu Eosa Daebu jointly attack Cao Cao, a small army would be sufficient to disturb the religious leader.”
The fireman’s eyes narrowed.
From a historical point of view, the religious lords are eventually incorporated into Yangzhou and become part of the Oh Dynasty.
Jegalgeun intends to provide a foothold for Sun Ce to be reborn as a great empress in the future by helping himself and Cao Cao fight with one arm, while he is distracted by the war.
Now that Heonje is alive, they fight to support each other, but after a while, when Heonje dies, they will each claim to be kings without the need to support them.
Jegalgeun is preparing for that time.
Not too long ago, many intellectuals started talking about the three branches of the world.
‘Three branches of the world…..’
When I read the love story in the past, how much my heart was pounding watching Zhuge Liang explain this to Liu Bei? However, when he stood in that position, his taste was bitter.
‘Come to think of it, Zhuge Liang also said this a while ago. Of course, it has happened historically. But I can’t make it happen. The wind of war has not stopped for a long time since the world was divided into three.’
The painter had no intention of dividing the world into three.
And I had already made up my mind before.
‘I will unify the world and end the war!’
coo kung.
The moment he solidified his will, a heavy momentum began to emerge from the fireman’s body.
Son Quan, who was sitting across from him, suddenly felt the presence of the fireman, which he had only felt from his father before, and unconsciously swallowed a dry saliva.
“If Zhuge’s military disrupts the cult leader and the turmoil grows, there will be no power to stop Son Zhao’s attack.”
“We only intend to disrupt it. For the time being, I have to help Hwabu Eosa Daebu fight against Jojo.”
“I also hate Jojo to the point of wanting to lead an army and attack and kill him because he is the enemy who killed his brother. But do you know why it’s not like that?”
“Is it because Xi Liang hasn’t been leveled yet?”
“that’s right. It is because the volume is not balanced. But that’s not all.”
“Then what other reasons are there?”
“Do you know that the governor of Beihai, Gong Rong, surrendered to Boon not long ago?”
“Yes, I heard that the North Sea became the territory of Seoju from Cheongju.”
“I want the Gyoju and Yangju to be like that too.”
“yes?”
For a moment, Sun Quan opened his mouth and was unable to speak.
This was the substance of the heavy weight emanating from the fireman’s body.
The painter looked at the handbook and continued.
He also said to remove the horns for sweet seaweed. If I made up my mind, there was no need to wander.
“I don’t know if you know it, but the people in Xuzhou now who have absorbed most of the Xiliang army, combined with my brother’s and mine, number more than 2 million.”
“More than 2 million already?”
“okay. On the other hand, Gyoju’s troops are only about 400,000, and Yangju’s troops are also about 500,000. Alliances are made when the original strength is similar. So far, I have helped Sohn Jasa a lot and also helped Buna a lot. However, I was honestly a little disappointed that Son Ja-sa was only thinking of taking over the leader while encouraging a fight between me and Cao Cao. You don’t know if you’re saying that we’re going to form an alliance only now, or that we’re preparing to attack you, so we’re telling you to fight with Jojo and lose your strength?”
Sun Quan’s complexion turned blue after hearing the fireman’s scathing rebuke.
“Fire Department Eosa Daebu. You are misunderstanding. How could my older brother think of betraying the silversmith Eosa Daebu?”
“If you don’t intend to betray, surrender to me like Gong Yong.”
The momentum that bloomed from the fireman’s body was so great that the potted plant next to it was swallowing only dry saliva without opening its mouth.
As if trying to borrow the power of alcohol, Sun Quan poured the wine from the glass into his mouth at once and let out a short sigh.
Then he opened his mouth.
“The company position you received was bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor. But how can you forcefully tell me to surrender?”
“Then, wasn’t the position of Governor of Gong Rong bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor? I don’t mean to play with words, so you’ll have to choose between surrendering or becoming an enemy.”
Sun Quan couldn’t open his mouth any longer and even closed his eyes.
If you had been here, what decision would you have made? The weight of the fireman’s demands was too heavy for Son Gwon, who was only nineteen years old, to handle.
‘I just wanted to go after paying my condolences…. It was too bad!’
I don’t know if I hadn’t said it from the beginning, but since I had already said it, I had to say something.
However, Sun Quan was not ready to answer.
“sorry. It doesn’t seem like it’s something I can choose from. As soon as I return, I will tell my brother about the intention of the fireman, Eosa Daebu, and send someone to answer.”
It was the best answer by hand.
The fireman regained his strength, picked up the wine bottle, and poured it into Son Gwon’s empty glass.
“I don’t know why I don’t have a question for you to answer. I just wanted to let you know what I mean. I also don’t want to point spears with you. You also have your own will, but I hand over the choice to you because I am familiar with you, so do not be sad.”
“All right.”
Sun Quan was no longer with the painter and stood up after paying his respects.
* * *
While the envoys dispatched to Yangju returned to Giju with the decapitated body of Sunuk in a coffin, Cao Cao was watching the movements of the firefighters.
Guo Jia bowed his head and told Cao Cao his thoughts.
“Although Xuzhou company’s flower pots have raised a large army, there is no sign of them actually going out. And Yeju-gun is also not advancing north, guarding the imperial capital, and sending the remaining troops to Seoliang to pacify it, so it seems that our troops can concentrate on calming Yuju and Byeongju for the time being.”
After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Cao tilted his head and looked around at the various booksellers.
“Hwabu, since you defeated Ma-deng and Han-soo, you can delay your time by eating Seo-ryang, but it is questionable that Seo-ju’s flower pot has raised an army and is not sending troops. Have you heard anything from the trio?”
“I don’t know anything, but I can guess.”
“guesswork? What do you think the reason is?”
“As you know, the Governor of North Sea went under the flower pot some time ago.”
“so?”
“The flower pots have a large army, but the actual owner of the army is definitely not a painter?”
“Hmm, I guess.”
“If the fireman does not allow it, the army cannot be moved. And even if he can move, he is a rookie who has never fought a war worthy of war. It’s different from a fireman who has been rolling on the battlefield for decades. So we may not be able to start a war hastily.”
“It could be. But a little while ago, we talked about the North Sea governor Gong-ryong. Why did you tell that story?”
“Since the soldiers of the flower pot are the soldiers of the fire department, there is no problem even if the lord is insufficient, but Gong Rong is a person who may seek an opportunity if the lord he serves is insufficient. Isn’t that why the flowerpot can’t move for one reason or another?”
“Hmm, that sounds like it. Seeing that you haven’t moved so far, it must be true that you can’t move.”
“I beseech you. They say that the envoys who went to Yangju have arrived.”
“Well, Soon-wook has already returned. Come on in.”
