Episode 410. Take a surprise (1)
‘Why didn’t I get a call from Danju?’
Arriving at the capital city, Jang-heum waited for a message from Eulji while he was clearing his travels.
However, the message did not come, and instead, Sun Quan was called and ordered to take the troops to Kang Seung-hyeon’s port and attack Daebu Hua’s stronghold.
‘Since Danju hasn’t contacted me, it’s not easy to find a time to change the direction of the window! I want to slit Sun Quan’s throat and take over this castle right away…’
If he and Zhu Tai’s troops are enough, they can take over the castle.
In a way, this was a golden opportunity.
‘I’ll have to talk to Jutae!’
If Zhou Tai agreed, they thought it would be better for them to return and kill Sun Quan and take the castle when 50,000 of the troops returning from Jiaozhou fled the city to help Sun Ce.
“General Jang Heum.”
At that time, the adjutant brought an old official who was doing chores in the capital city.
“What’s going on?”
“Leeja said he wanted to give the general a mango, so I brought it.”
For a moment, Jang Heum’s eyes lit up.
“mango! Come to think of it, mangoes are about to ripen!”
“The taste is so good that I brought it to give to the general.”
When Gwanno held out a basket of mangoes, Jangheum took out one of them and took a bite without peeling it.
“Ho! The sweet water flowing in a row is very delicious. But is there any particular reason why you brought this mango to me?”
“You may not remember, General, but my family once saved our lives thanks to you. So I wanted to make the general happy by giving him something like this, even if it was feeble.”
“Hehehe, did you receive favor from me in the past? I get it. I will share it very deliciously with the managers.”
“Then I will go away.”
“Do it.”
When Gwanno bowed his head and went away, Jangheum chewed on a mango and held on to his heart.
‘Huh, it’s finally time to repay the favor!’
After wiping his mouth with his sleeve, Jang Xin headed for Ju Tae’s residence.
* * *
As he left the city and went to Kang Seung-hyeon’s port, Go-ong showed a little impatience at the strangely slow movement speed.
“General Jang Heum. If we keep going at this speed, we will arrive at the port of Kangseunghyeon only after the sun goes down.”
“You must move stealthily to avoid being seen by the enemy.”
“How can you be secretive when you are leading 100,000 troops? And the skirmishers around here have already been cleared, so even if you move quickly, the enemy won’t notice.”
“Now, soldiers of Goong, are you going to hurry up and inform the enemy of our movement?”
“yes? What is it?”
“It’s not strange at all! The things Goong has been doing since before!”
“yes? What the hell does that mean…”
“Uh huh! Aren’t you going to be honest with this?”
“Oh no, General Jang… what the hell are you talking about right now…”
“No! Goong was the enemy’s sejak! So you were thinking of informing the enemy of this covert operation!”
Jang Heum repeatedly shouted loudly. Only then did the surroundings begin to hum more and more.
Embarrassed, Goong waved his hand, not knowing what the situation was.
“Are you crazy? General Zhang! No matter what…”
He groaned.
In an instant, a sword extended from Jang Heum’s waist like a ray of light and cut Goong’s head.
Poo-wook.
“Kuuk!”
And Ju-tae, who was in the back, also extended his spear and pierced the back of General Seo-seong, who was in front.
“What is this!”
Grabbing the spear blade that had pierced his chest, General Seo Seong widened his eyes and slowly collapsed without being able to utter a word.
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
“Call all the generals and tell them!”
Some generals came running quickly. They were taken aback when they saw the dead bodies of Goong and Seoseong, but realized what had happened a moment ago and quietly waited for the two generals to speak.
Jang Heum raised the knife that had cut Goong’s head high and opened his mouth as he looked around at the generals and soldiers around him.
“From now on, I will go to punish the traitorous Son family who rebelled against His Majesty the Emperor! Those who will follow me will remain, and those who will not follow me will leave!”
At Jang-heum’s cry, some of the general managers looked devastated, but most of them raised their weapons in sympathy.
“I, Zhou Tae, will also join General Zhang in destroying the Son family of traitors.”
Ju-tae was the first to raise his voice, and the others raised their voices one after another.
“I will also follow the will of the General.”
“I have followed the general until now. I did not follow the Son brothers.”
“A true servant is to serve the Emperor.”
“…..”
When most of the general managers agreed, even some of the general managers who had looked on their faces hurriedly changed their complexion and agreed.
If I took the side of the Son brothers here, I was in an atmosphere where I would run away immediately.
“Fortunately, there is no brainless person who can’t understand my will! everyone follow me! Let’s go back to the capital and cut Sun Quan’s head first!”
“yes.”
Jang Heum and Ju Tae led the way, and the generals followed, and the soldiers followed them without much agitation.
After about half an hour of riding on horseback to the capital city, the gatekeeper guarding the gate recognized the generals in the lead and tilted his head.
“General, why did you come back?”
“The reason we pretended to go to Kang Seung-hyeon’s port was to deceive the eyes of the enemy under the order of Mr. Vice President. Come on, open the door.”
“All right.”
The gatekeeper nodded in agreement and opened the gate.
Jang Xin and Zhou Tai entered the city, but they did not start a fight right away and led their men to the self-defense battle where Sun Quan was expected to be staying.
* * *
Sun Quan heard the news that his mother was in critical condition and was in a state of emergency.
“what? The soldiers who went to Eochamhyeon returned to the capital city?”
In the meantime, I heard a report from a subordinate.
“Your rich man. It is said that General Jang Heum pretended to go to Kang Seung-hyeon’s port to deceive the enemy’s eyes, and then came back.”
“What are you talking about? To deceive the eyes of the enemy, I have already sent 50,000 troops to Eo Cham-hyeon, where my brother is…”
He hesitated.
Sun Quan, who was talking, stopped talking because of an ominous feeling.
Jang Heum did not listen to his orders and rather returned, and the reason is also not understood.
Furthermore, almost all troops were sent to the battlefield, and there are only about 3,000 soldiers guarding the gate in the castle.
Treason!
Sun Quan felt his spine cool.
‘No way! it won’t be! General Ju-Tae is the one who risked his life to save me when I was in danger…’
I tried to stir up an argument, but my instincts were terrifyingly warning me.
“Go right away and find out what those who have returned are doing.”
“I take orders.”
The subordinate also rushed outside, probably realizing that something was serious.
“Brother, I’m worried!”
Seeing Son Sang-hyang put on a serious expression, Son Kwon thought that if he waited for his subordinate to come, he might be late.
It seemed that at least the safety of the family should be secured in case of emergency.
“There is no possibility of that, but it could be that Jang-heum plotted treason. Hello. lawmaker!”
“Your rich man.”
“I have to move my mother to the carriage. Get your saliva out.”
“I take orders.”
After the doctor pulled out the needle, Sun Quan moved her mother into a carriage and had the guards move precious metals and some important items.
“Brother, did General Jang Heum really rebel?”
“I don’t know yet. But like you, I am also anxious. So, go with your mother to Eochamhyeon, where your older brother is.”
“What about your sister? Are you taking all your nephews?”
Fortunately, there were not only his wife but also his sister-in-law and nieces and nephews in the main house.
“Yeah, if I’m mistaken, I’ll send someone, so hurry up and take them all.”
“Are you going with me? If Jang-heum plotted treason as my brother had predicted, then oppa is in danger too, isn’t it?”
“Looking at the situation, I’ll pull myself out if I don’t want to, so you hurry and take your mother and your family.”
“Ah, okay.”
Son Sang-hyang hesitated a few times to see if her steps had not fallen, but when Son Kwon attached the guards and made them move, she got on the carriage without hesitation.
Du-du-du-du-du…
The subordinate who had gone to investigate the situation had not yet returned, but the sound of horses’ hooves echoed in the distance, audible only when hundreds of horses were running.
“Is Jang Heum plotting treason after all?”
Sun Quan barely swallowed the groan that leaked out.
There was no reason for so many cavalrymen to come to this place where the anchae was located.
I wanted to run away right away, but if I did, my mother and other family members could be tracked down.
‘At least I’ll give my family time to run away from the city gate!’
aww
Son Kwon gritted it.
“Hello, go get my armor and spear.”
“I take orders.”
The guards also guessed how the situation was going now, so they hurriedly brought their armor and spears, and they also got horses and rode them.
There were ten horses that were always stocked in the main house, and he rode them.
Because it was a wartime situation, all the guards had their basic armaments at all times.
Sun Quan rode forward and looked at Zhang Xin and Zhou Tai from a distance ahead.
“What is it that you are running so quickly?”
Sun Quan wanted to cut their heads right away, but asked calmly to give his family time to escape.
“You already know, don’t you? It looks like they’re even preparing to fight.”
As Zhang Xin and Zhu Tai got closer, Sun Quan looked into their eyes.
“Is it also a traitor?”
“as you see.”
“I’ve never been sorry for you guys, so why raise the flag of treason?”
“Haven’t you, who said that, also raised a flag of treason against His Majesty the Emperor?”
“Whoa-! Did you receive orders from Godfather?”
“It’s not until four weeks, but now I’m finally able to repay the favor I received in the past.”
“A grace you received before?”
Sun Quan grimaced at the unbearable pain.
“Could it be that you were already a subordinate of Godfather Hwa before becoming your brother’s subordinate?”
“I’ve never been under water. It’s just that Godfather Hua healed me and my family a long time ago. Well, there are shameless people like you who will confiscate your face even if you receive grace from the godfather of fire, but there are people like me who repay the favor to the end.”
“It is natural for a member of the National Assembly to correct people. How can you call that grace?”
“Whoa, how shameless! What is it other than grace that keeps a person who should have been dead alive until now? Honestly, was your brother’s or mother’s illness curable if it wasn’t for Godfather Hwa? Are you saying that you have paid back all the kindness that saved your life by giving you a few pennies?”
“According to your claim, everyone healed by Godfather Hwa should become his subordinate?”
“You don’t have to become a subordinate, but at least you shouldn’t raise a sword in exchange for the grace you received? Well, each person has a different opinion, so I think it’s best to just do this. I don’t want to force my thoughts on you who are shameless. Stop using the window now. Because I wanted to experience how great Sun Jia’s spearmanship is.”
“OK! I also don’t want to haggle with a guy like you. come! I’ll remind you how fierce the finger singing method is today!”
food.
For a moment, a smile crept across Zhang’s lips. He lifted his head and looked behind Sun Quan.
“Even though there is a commotion like this, the main house is still quiet?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m trying to repay Godfather Hwa, can’t I do something reckless by taking women and girls hostage? Don’t worry and hold the spear properly.”
“that word…. Is it true?”
“If you give me an order right away, my men will pursue and kill them who are fleeing through the west gate. But don’t worry, I don’t mean to.”
sereung.
Speculation bloomed in Sun Quan’s body to the point of tingling.
“I’ll believe that. Go!”
