Episode 381. Turning poison into medicine (2)
The fireman was so delighted that his disciples were surprised.
In fact, the disciples regarded Hwabu as a god of medicine, but Hwabu himself was very aware of his limitations. That’s why I knew how hard luck it was to have the luck of this time to immediately think of an antidote for poison.
If it was a difficult poison to make an antidote through serum, it would be impossible to make an antidote in this era, no matter how much a fireman.
“Continue to look at those who have been decoded and report further progress.”
“Your master.”
The fireman let go, so now he has time to look at the battlefield.
While the fireman devoted himself to the treatment of the poison and spent time making an antidote, Zhuge Liang took up the baton and commanded the army as a substitute.
As they climbed up to the high wagon where the commanding headquarters resided, Zhuge Liang and other scribes and generals all bowed their heads in unison.
“Meet the governor.”
After receiving a rough bow, the painter looked around the battlefield and asked Zhuge Liang.
“How has the war situation changed?”
“Cao Cao’s army pulled out about 100,000 soldiers to support, and the war situation turned around and now our army is pushing Cao Cao’s army little by little.”
Dawn had passed before I knew it, and dawn was coming in the distance.
It was still a bit hazy everywhere, but there were torches everywhere and large fires in several places, so you could see how the soldiers were fighting on the battlefield.
“It seems that you are pushing very unilaterally, not at the level of pushing little by little.”
“It looks like that because Cao Cao also recovered his spiritual body overnight and completed preparations for evacuation.”
“If you prepared to withdraw, then
Boone-hyung must have made Jojo’s ass quite hot.” I will.”
“Seeing them retreat that far makes me want to strike at once, but why didn’t I do that?”
“Since the generals who will command the cavalry have been injured a lot, I’ve been taking care of myself, and I’m also waiting for that time because the flower pot company will catch Cao Cao’s ankles over time.”
The painter, who had been listening to Zhuge Liang’s words, naturally nodded.
The bookmakers gathered to draw the big picture and come up with a plan. Because of this, the enemy’s movement was predicted in various directions and a plan was made.
“Boon told my brother to listen to the broadcasting military’s opinions unconditionally, so the plan won’t go awry.”
“You know how brilliant the resourcefulness of the defense forces is, so Mrs. Flowerpot will not let go of the offense. By the way, what is the condition of the longevity poisoned by the jugong?”
“Fortunately, it was a poison I had been dealing with for a long time, so I was able to make an antidote right away.”
“Oh yeah. Then the generals will return to the battlefield soon.”
“It will take a bit more time for the poison to be fully deciphered, but you should be able to hold the spear after about an hour.”
“Can General Guan Yu hold a spear too?”
“You should refrain from using your injured left arm, but since its prowess is high, you should be able to deal with quite a few enemies with just one arm.”
“Then, we can launch an all-out attack in time for the planter company to grab Jojo’s ankle.”
After a while, Zhuge Liang buoyed up morale by informing the entire army that the antidote made by the fireman had detoxified the poison of the poisoned arrow.
When news of the antidote spread, the faces of the soldiers could be seen brightening.
‘The greatest fidelity in the world is the main attacker, so Jojo’s solo attack is so easily neutralized!’
Even non-poisoned generals were relieved.
In fact, the use of poisoned arrows in warfare has recently become commonplace. However, this was the first time that a large amount of poisoned arrows appeared in the fight against Cao Cao.
Poison is not something that can be extracted in large quantities.
However, Cao Cao poisoned countless arrows and inflicted great damage on his allies.
However, now that the antidote has been made, there is no need to be careful even when an arrow grazes like now.

“If I hadn’t annihilated half of the enemy cavalry that was chasing me, it would have been difficult for me to retreat so easily!”
Cao Cao retreated and suffered losses, but he didn’t look so unfair.
It was because if the enemy cavalry with good mobility and the longevity leading the cavalry had not been caught in a trap, they would have suffered several times the damage they were currently suffering.
“A messenger came from Jugong Upseong.”
“Yes, come in.”
“Ochu, under the command of General Shin Seo, learns of the main attack.”
“How is your karma? Could it be that it was not captured by the Lord of the West?”
“When we arrived at Eopseong, the army of Seoju, who was attacking the castle, had already retreated to Sahyeon.”
“huh? Did you retreat to Sahyun? Didn’t you say 300,000 troops? With an army of that size, it would be possible to fight back, but it’s a little surprising that they retreated.”
“There are many enemy soldiers, but since it was night, they didn’t seem to be able to estimate the strength of our army.”
“Ho! You seem to have been frightened, thinking that the main base was retreating.”
“It seems so.”
“Well, if it’s Seoju-gun, a pot with little experience in war will lead the soldiers, so the judgment of the situation may be clumsy.”
Jojo held the accusation, recalling the past when the painter had exceptional trust in his brothers.
‘Hwabok was bright in administration and measurement, and he was a suitable talent to entrust the territory to rule, but he was somewhat insufficient to entrust the military to wage war. It’s understandable if the flower pot resembles his older brother’s disposition.’
Even now, Jojo thought that the background of Hwabu becoming the great empress was because of his excellent medical skills and virtuous personality, generals and tacticians like Lu Bu and vanguard gathered. I don’t think that the Fahrenheit brothers, including the fireman, are good at strategy and tactics.
“Gwak Kwak.”
“Your master.”
“However, the damage seems to be accumulating to retreat like this, so is there any way to shake off Hwabu’s army?”
“Since the enemy’s main forces, generals and cavalry, are quite empty, it will be much easier to retreat if we shake the enemy camp with our generals and cavalry and then use the bow to keep us in check.”
“Well, the enemies must now know that the bow arrows are poison arrows, so they won’t be able to approach them hastily. General Hahudon.”
“Your master.”
“How are your injuries?”
“It’s gotten a lot better, but it’s still too much to lift a spear.”
At Xiahoudon’s words, Cao Cao smiled bitterly. I felt sorry for his injury and it was heartbreaking to lose the avant-garde that made him that way.
“Where is General Akjin?”
“I am on the battlefield.”
“Tell him to lead 30,000 cavalry and go and overturn the enemy camp.”
“I will pass on the order.”
“For General Jang, who leads the archers, change the bow arrows into poisonous arrows to guard against the enemy’s approach.”
“Your master.”
As the adjutant rode his horse to the battlefield, Cao Cao looked up at the sun that was floating and shining brightly on the world.
“No matter how faithful Boo you are, you will not be able to create an antidote until this war is over.”
A poisoned arrow that inflicted heavy blows on cavalrymen and generals.
Making the poison was actually not difficult. Poisoned arrows have been appearing on the battlefield for several years already.
Moreover, after finding out through a competent doctor in Giju, he said that the antidote to poison has not been developed yet, except for the antidote that hunters use, which has a negligible effect.
Knowing how difficult it is to make an antidote through the clinic, Jojo is greatly relieved.
As if the order was delivered to Akjin, after a while, about 30,000 cavalrymen were seen charging towards the enemy camp.
Du-du-du-du-du…..
Then, a cavalry of a similar size jumped out from the enemy camp and greeted the cavalry led by Akjin.
When cavalry and cavalry fight, arrows are fired first before the distance is close, and when the distance is close, they fight with spears.
“Huh, since guys like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei escaped from the rain of arrows, they must have been injured, so there won’t be any generals who can stop the evil jinx.”
He knew that the avant-garde commander was in the fireman, but he was at least aware that it would be difficult for him to come to the fore again. Because of this, Cao Cao watched the fight between cavalry and cavalry with a little comfort.
* * *
Kwak Kwak Kwak Kwak …..
Akjin gritted his teeth whenever the spear with history collided with the spear of the opponent’s commander.
‘Damn it, how are these guys so fine?’
The longevity that Akjin was dealing with was equipment.
If it had been a one-on-one battle with the equipment, it wouldn’t have been such a disappointing look, but the opponent’s enemy was not a single equipment.
Guan Yu, Macho Zhao Yun, and other generals like Giraseong were all leading the cavalry.
Of course, Akjin also did not lead the cavalry alone, but led the cavalry with generals such as Zhang Liao and Heo Yu. But somehow the number of enemy generals was much higher.
As Akjin predicted, they must have been hit by poison arrows, or at least grazed by poison arrows, so by now they should all be in bed and suffering.
As far as he knew, the detoxification method used this time was only at the level of preventing the poisoning symptoms from getting worse.
‘Could it be that they already knew about the poison arrows we made and made an antidote in advance?’
Otherwise, it was incomprehensible.
Akjin is fighting the equipment with a spear, but his head is really complicated.
It is undeniable that one’s expectations were wrong, aren’t the enemy commanders who are still wielding spears proving it?
“Kahiah …..”
I heard the screams of a familiar person for some reason.
I couldn’t turn my head because I was fighting a fierce battle with the equipment, but the screamer was definitely fellow general Heo Yu.
‘Did I get hurt?’
Heo Yu had been under the attack of enemy generals Ma Chao and Zhao Yun a while ago.
Since they fought an enemy general who was too tough to fight 1-on-1 with a 2-to-1 ratio, it was probably a struggle just to have endured so far.
‘I can’t do this. If I don’t retreat, I won’t be able to save half of the soldiers.’
While retreating, he knew that the fallen soldiers would suffer sacrifices, but if they continued to fight, they would be annihilated.
“Everyone retreat! Everyone retreat!”
Whoo! jjoong.
‘Keugh!’
While he was talking, the nape of his neck was cool, so he reflexively lowered his head, and the hat of the equipment brushed past the back of the helmet.
Akjin took out the javelin of his waist dance and threw it at the horse in the equipment behind him and continued to ride.
Caang.
Hearing the sound of a javelin hitting something and bouncing away, Akjin licked his lips in regret.
‘Looks like you didn’t get it right. But fortunately, I had time to escape.’
giggle
‘Somehow, it seems that my body has become lighter… What happened?’
Guan Yu tilted his head as he swung his spear and decapitated the enemy cavalryman.
Because his left arm was injured, he avoided fighting with the enemy general and chose to cut only the cavalrymen. But somehow, even though he was using only his right arm, he had no problem moving the spear.
‘The Duke of Zhou told me not to overdo it, although the detoxification has definitely been done, as there may still be poisoning from travel.
Originally, your body is the law you know best.
When I took a long breath and activated my inner strength, my inner strength spread like an oar to the four limbs.
I felt more confident.
‘The poison is detoxified, and it is clear that it has benefited the body. Otherwise, there’s no way I’ll be so full of energy!’
As Guan Yu cut down the enemy cavalry, he saw Akjin running away from the equipment attack.
It just so happened that the direction he was running towards was his own.
His left arm was wrapped in a bandage, and a shield was attached to his wrist and elbow to bind him like a splint. Perhaps Akjin saw it and took it easy.
‘Can I deal with the author with one arm?’
Guan-wu pondered for a moment whether he should avoid the evil dust or face it.
Equipment was following behind, but Akjin’s men were throwing their bodies to help the superior escape safely.
‘If I hold on for about ten breaths, I think the rain will be able to shake off the obstacles… Let’s try it.’
“come!”
When Guan-wu tried to confront him without running away, Ak-jin made an absurd expression for a moment.
“What a shame, if you want to die, I won’t hesitate.”
