I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon

Episode 346. Jojo’s Unexpected Actions (1)

Jojo sent generals to conquer the castles of Giju and Yuju, but all information power was focused on the three armies, Ha Nam-yoon (Luoyang), Hadong-gun, and Ha Na-gun.

Dozens of messengers would arrive at Cao Cao’s camp every day. Based on the messenger’s report, the secretaries gather to analyze the situation and discuss plans.

“I beg you.”

As soon as the messenger’s mouth opened, Jojo let out a long sigh.

Yesterday, the dispatchers had already heard that Luoyang had fallen into Ma Deng’s hands and that Ma Deng’s troops were advancing toward Xu Du.

“Speak.”

“Ha Nae-gun and most of the prefectures of Dong-gun rebelled and restored the soldiers they had dispatched to our army. Because of this, the armies of the two armies collapsed, and the soldiers of Eosa Daebu entered the two castles without blood.”

“what! What do you mean? What nonsense happened?”

Jojo jumped up from the chair he was sitting on.

Just the fact that Ma Teng is already coming to Xu Do is a situation where my head hurts.

Even so, the opinions of the secretaries had been leaning towards the need to send troops to Heo-do since yesterday. However, in the current situation, subtracting troops would be like having enemies both in front and behind, so we have not been able to come to a conclusion.

In addition, Soon-wook made an opinion.

“First of all, how about seeing the trend and making a decision on whether to defend against the lie or give up?”

I waited because I thought that opinion was valid…

But if the fireman took Hanae-gun and Dong-gun, the meaning is the same as not to keep Heo-do.

From the point of view of Hwabu, he said, “Since Heodo is your land, do the work of protecting the emperor yourself.”

‘Are you planning to cross the river and do Buddhist scriptures? Whoa-! If this happens, will I have to retreat?’

It’s a ruined empire, but the justification still comes from the emperor.

It is thanks to his advocacy of the emperor that he is called a monk, and is able to give his subordinates the offices he wants, and give the princes he likes the ranks of the ruler.

If the emperor fell into the hands of the Xiliang army, his position could have changed from a monk who honored the emperor to a feudal lord in the periphery.

Of course, a change in circumstances doesn’t mean that the power you have is gone, but it can’t be helped that your influence is diminished.

“I knew that Hwa-bok gained a lot of trust while he was governor, but I didn’t know he was so strong that he dared to rebel against me even though he was already dead!”

Jojo couldn’t help but admire how well Hwa-bok governed the two provinces before he was alive, even in his complicated feelings.

‘If he didn’t die… there must be a way to restore the relationship again.’

Jojo sighed again.

“Since the governor’s fire department opened the way for Heo Island, I think it is best to send troops to Heo Island now.”

The bookkeepers who were listening to the report had a brief meeting, and Soon-wook came out as the representative and opened his mouth.

“Isn’t it inevitable that if you send troops, the consumption in Giju and Yuju will increase?”

“But now is the time to protect the authority of the Duke of Zhou. If Ma Teng upholds His Majesty the Emperor and seduces him with three tongues, even branding the Duke of Zhou as a traitor, many things that have been built so far could collapse at once.”

After hearing Sunuk’s words, Jojo didn’t answer right away, but after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth.

“Heodo belongs to Yeju, the original city, and is a place that can be called the land of firemen. When I moved the capital from Luoyang to Hedo, the fireman accepted my request and now it is my land, but it is still halfway the land of the fireman.”

“Suddenly saying that…”

“Think about why the painter opened the way for Ma Deng and gave him a chance to become the emperor.”

“Of course, I want to have the Duke of Zhou and Ma Teng fight.”

“Then do I need to play with the painter’s tune?”

“But if Ma Teng is crowned emperor, the Duke of Zhou’s position will inevitably be narrowed.”

“I want to think about what is more important than location.”

“yes? What are you talking about?”

“Before me, many feudal lords crowned the emperor. And the results were not always good. Of course, I’m not saying that I’ve gotten worse, but even if I were to fight Ma Deng and lose my strength, I can’t guarantee that if I get attacked by Hwa-bu, I won’t look like Dong Zhuo or Li Gak Guo.”

“Then are you going to give up on the emperor?”

“No, I’m thinking of leaving it. The painter came out under the pretext of the emperor and provoked Ma Deng to fight, but decisively he is also a subject of this empire. If I don’t step in, the fireman will eventually step in.”

“But if the fireman doesn’t step forward, His Majesty really could fall into Ma Teng’s hands.”

“If it goes over, it goes over.”

“yes?”

“This is a battle of guts between the fireman and me with horse lanterns. Those who are impatient and impatient lose.”

“This is too huge to be called a fight of guts…”

As Shunwu continued to mention the emperor, Cao Cao calmly looked him in the eyes.

“Are the soldiers my servants or the servants of Hunje?”

“yes? Of course, I only think of Jugong.”

“Then why are you so concerned about the emperor?”

“…..”

“I am also concerned about His Majesty’s safety. But even if Ma Teng appoints the emperor, doesn’t His Majesty’s safety be threatened?”

“That’s right.”

“After Ma Teng appoints Emperor Heon as emperor, he will surely be attacked by other feudal lords, just like me. He pondered which choice to make. And I thought there was a fireman’s land next to it.”

“Do you have any reason to be sure that the fireman will be in the lead?”

“Because he currently has the largest territory in this country, and Juju is his land.”

“okay.”

“As I said before, this is a battle of guts. Even though I will lose Hadong, Henae, Donggun, and Hedo following Luoyang, I will occupy this vast Giju and Yuju. Right now, the forces are dispersed and we can’t use our strength, but once we subdue Kiju and Yuju, we will be able to reconcile ourselves with Hwabu.”

“The will of the Duke of Ju is really broad and great.”

“When I think of the humiliation that His Majesty will suffer from a rogue boat like Ma Teng, I want to withdraw right away. It means that I want to avoid being played by the fireman’s rhythm.”

Cao Cao subdued the passionate heat and belatedly pretended to be worried about the emperor.

“You are right.”

“The soldiers and secretaries should do their best to subdue Kiju and Yuju as soon as possible by joining forces with the generals.”

“Your master. I will do my best.”

The news that Hwa-bok, Lü-po, and Liu-bi died due to Hahu-yeon’s betrayal reached Zhuge Liang, Ga-hu, and Bun-ah, as well as other legislators and generals, through Pabalma.

“Obviously Jojo, you ungrateful bastard. In the meantime, the Duke of Zhou gave me so many concessions as a brother-in-law…”

Zhuge Liang hit the ground and gnashed his teeth, and Gahu remained silent for a long time, frowning, and the generals raised their voices saying that they should run to the fireman immediately.

After a long time passed and the angry voices of the people died down to some extent, Gafu opened his mouth.

“Still, the fortunate thing is that the Lord is safe. Even though Cao Cao and I are now enemies, we cannot blindly lead all the soldiers and march to Luoyang.”

Although all castles in Ikju have been pacified, they have not yet been stabilized. If you withdraw all the troops in this situation, you may end up wasting your energy for nothing.

Someone had to lead the military to some extent and remain behind to stabilize Ikju and support firemen from the rear.

“The Duke of Zhou issued instructions through Pabalma, and he told us to choose our own company and generals to remain here to lead the army, supervise the governors, and govern the people.”

Everyone’s eyes widened when Gafu opened the school paper so that the bookkeeper and general could see it.

Such important matters are usually designated directly by the feudal lords.

“The governor told us to choose them ourselves, so why didn’t you name them…”

“The governor is in the midst of a very serious incident and is at war without even having a funeral. You won’t have time to take care of these little things.”

“I guess so. Anyway, who should I pick as the company and the general?”

“I know everyone wants to go to the Lord, but people with competence should remain.”

At Gafu’s words, everyone in the hall began to notice each other.

Usually, after this equilibrium, they fight each other for a good seat. But somehow, most of them were making concessions to each other to go to the fireman rather than sit down here.

And then, the goblin opened his mouth.

“If someone has to stay, doesn’t that include the bookkeeper Gafu who says so?”

“yes? As you know, General Zhang, I have been dealing with various dignitaries and feudal lords in the imperial palace since long ago. So wouldn’t it be better to assist the main ball by your side?”

Gafu subtly said that he was better than broadcasting or standing.

In a way, it might look arrogant, but he was just as confident and wanted to go to the fireman.

“Among these people, who does not want to assist the governor and is not qualified?”

However, Zhang Gui did not bend his claim, as if he wanted Jiahou to leave behind.

“I do, but… the Lord will not want me to remain here.”

“That’s the bookkeeper’s idea.”

Gahu looked at Zhuge Liang and other generals with a frustrated expression, but no one came forward to take his place. They are all of the same mind.

“Haa~ I said something useless and put shackles on my feet.”

Gafu smiled bitterly.

In fact, he showed confidence, but after experiencing it, he couldn’t say that Zhuge Liang right next to him was worse than himself.

No matter where you put it, there are no outstanding characters.

“By the way, General Jang. I am a bookkeeper, so there must be one more person who can lead the army and take responsibility.”

Gafu looked at the lump as he spoke.

“Don’t think of biting me like a radish water ghost.”

Jang Goe was startled and waved his hand, but a fishy smile appeared on Gahu’s face.

“General Zhang has long been trusted by the Duke of Zhou. And the two older brothers have great roots in the Hanzhong army and have made a lot of contributions to subduing Ikju. I don’t think there is one person like General Jang who is in charge of the military. Don’t others think so?”

When Gahu looked around, Zhuge Liang was the first to agree.

“I agree with what Mr. Gahu said. There is no one who can lead the soldiers of Ikju as well as General Jang.”

“I am of the same opinion. I don’t think there’s anyone better suited to leading Ikju’s governors and guards than Commander Gahu and General Janggoe.”

“Me too…..”

“…..”

Everyone agreed as if they had waited, and Jang Goe looked at Gahu with a bitter smile.

“Whoa~ I also made fun of myself and brought myself to anger.”

“I’m going crazy too. If I had assisted Joo Gong by his side, someone like Ha Hu-yeon would not have been able to do tricks…”

“If only I had escorted him… Eww! no. Now that it has come to this, Ik-ju will be the right one.”

While Gahu and Zhang Gui were selecting the subordinates who would become limbs and limbs as the company and generals of Ikju, Zhuge Liang and other generals began preparing to return to Yeju County with an army of 500,000.

The reason why the army of Ikju was able to lead 500,000 troops despite leaving 200,000 garrison troops was thanks to the fact that after Hwabu left, he pacified Woljeon and Yunnan, capturing numerous prisoners and absorbing the remnants scattered throughout Ikju.
