170 – Battle of Gyeonseong – Battle to subdue the Black Bandits (6)
As long as you are a human being, you are fundamentally grateful to the person who saved you, no matter what the other person was. Even if he is a murderer, if he did not kill or harm himself, he can at least be thankful and grateful for saving him.
Like right now.
Wow!!
I wonder if General Gaejeon feels this way.
We walked along the main street of Hanae Castle and exchanged greetings with many Hanae residents who cheered us.

At best we could only wave our hands or nod our heads, but they cheered us wildly.
Jojo! Jojo! Jojo! Sigh! Jojo!
“The cheers for Jojo are sky high.”
“This isn’t Xuzhou.”
The lower part is completely opposite to the western part.
Cao Cao had never attacked or plundered Xia Nai, and because Xia Nai had long been close to Luoyang, his view of Cao Cao was not very negative.
-I was good at everything else, but my fault was that I did crazy things in Seoju because my parents passed away.
-What is Yeobaeksa’s job?
-Isn’t that a conspiracy committed by Lu Bu’s subordinates? How could someone do something like that?
-Shh. Still, he is a benefactor who saved our lives. Let’s be thankful, at least for now.
‘okay. That’s it. It was Jojo who saved me from the bandits, so I should be thankful.’
Since we are human, we basically have to be thankful.
Those who survive are thankful for surviving, and we are thankful for the cheers and small gifts that our people will give us in the future.
What are you saying.
“I meet General Cao Ren. My name is Sima Fang, and I am the representative of the noble families of Hanae.”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Jo-in. First of all… I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your daughter’s service.”
Samabang.
…My father-in-law personally led the noble family to welcome us at the government office.
“But what about Governor Hanae?”
“He ran away. If he had the shame, he would probably never come back.”
“Huh… How can such a terrible thing happen?”
“It is deplorable. Here, in Ha Na, for nearly ten years, a governor who has been exploiting the blood of the people has been appointed, and has not been able to properly eradicate even a single bandit. General Cho! If you return to Heodo, an honest governor will be appointed to protect the people of Ha Na. I hope so.”
“I understand. I will definitely recommend this to the monk.”
Cao Cao does not appoint the governor.
However, if the emperor sends a governor through Cao Cao, this means that Cao Cao is declaring that Xia is his sphere of influence.
If you fight against elements in the future, you will have a foundation to advance on a long but well-paved path towards the castle.
‘Or not.’
If you don’t fight Yuan Shao… then it will be a foundation for moving further west and a strong supporter for recovering Luoyang.
“We have prepared everything for you to rest. Please come this way.”
“Thank you. This is so embarrassing, even though I’m not the governor here.”
“hahahaha, how can you say that? Since you protected us, maybe you will actually be appointed governor of this place.”
“hahahahaha, maybe so.”
Cao Ren entered the government office after exchanging greetings with the nobleman appointed by Sima Fang.
“…It’s been a while, Uiya.”
“Sure, father.”
After finishing his conversation with Jo In, Samabang approached us.
He must be deeply moved by the fact that his grown daughter led the army and saved his wife.
“…Honestly, as soon as we met, I thought he would ask me to give him the marriage certificate that I couldn’t send.
“I thought about it, but after seeing it in person….”
Sima Yi’s voice was slightly muffled.
That’s right, Samabang, who was sturdy the last time we saw him, now greets us with a haggard appearance that makes him look ten years older.
“…It’s okay to ask how you’re doing. I don’t know if it’s right to say thank you for sticking with me.”
“We have to see our daughter get married. Am I still the head of the family? Even if I close my eyes, I will still get my youngest daughter married. hahahaha.”
Sima Fang stretched out his wrinkled hand toward Sima Yi’s shoulder.
“…Oh no. Now, I own the body.
He got down, came towards me, and tapped my shoulder instead.
“Thank you, son-in-law.”
“…thank you.”
It was just one word, but I felt like I was crying for no reason.
The hatred and dissatisfaction he showed when he first saw me has been greatly diluted – I can’t say it’s gone – and his gaze towards me now is clearly directed towards my lifesaver.
“Welcome home, Uiya.”
“I’m back, father.”
Sima Yi greeted Sima Fang and wiped away his tears with the back of his hand.
“Then give me what’s mine now.”
“I brought it here knowing that would happen.”
Sima Fang naturally took out a piece of silk from his pocket.
Sima Yi unfolded the silk rolled up like a bamboo pole, unfolded it towards me and smiled brightly.
“West!”
“…Okay, finally.”
-…According to this, Sima Fang, the head of the Sima family, recognizes the marriage of his daughter Sima Yi with ‘□□□’… .
at las.
I became a married couple with Sima Yi that was recognized by my family.
This silk cloth is probably the most valuable trophy obtained from this battle of Gyeonseong.

＜At that time, Eopseong General Department.＞
“Kwak Tao failed.”
As Shimbae spoke calmly, the man who elegantly held up the teacup continued to sip the tea without much emotion.
“All of the Heuksan bandits in Gyeonseong were killed. General Munchu took the head of the leader, a man named Sugo.”
“You worked hard.”
Even though the operation failed, Yuan Shao remained calm.
As if they knew from the beginning that the operation would fail.
“Simbae. If your expectations are high, you will be disappointed, right?”
“yes.”
“If you didn’t have expectations from the beginning, there’s no reason to be disappointed.”
Shimbae burst into laughter at Won Soo’s words.
“For something like that, you didn’t expect much.”
“That’s right. I was able to see how strong Cao Cao’s favorite elite soldiers were. Did you say Hobogi? It’s funny. We destroyed the White Horse Bell, so why bother training cavalry again?”
Yuan Shao laughed and played with his teacup.
“…Tell Janghap and Goram to train mainly on anti-cavalry tactics. Tell the field masters at the blacksmith shop to mass produce spears.”
“I understand. And Joo-gong, there is one thing that bothers me….”
Whisper quietly.
At Shimbae’s words, Won So opened his eyes wide and was surprised.
“Did you throw a chungcha?”
“Yes. It is said that they attached wheels and pulled it with horses, and then cut the rope right before the horse hit the castle wall. The force of the rolling carriage was used to break the castle gate.”
“You got it. If the gate is as thick as Gyeonseong, it will be shattered. I need to check the gates of all castles and fortresses, including Eop, one more time. Huh.”
Yuan Shao let out a deep sigh.
“I wonder if Cao Cao even his subordinates went crazy.”
“If that’s the case, victory belongs to us.”
“That’s right. …But, if you’re going to win anyway, why not wait a little longer?”
“Jukong!”
Simbae was anxious.
“Bukpyeong will be settled soon, so why are you trying to delay it again?”
“…I don’t want to delay either. I know that we have to move south immediately. I also know that we have to lead our troops and attack Heo Island right away, rather than using the bandits in the river to do tricks. But don’t you know that? “
For the first time, worry fell on Yuan Shao’s face, which was once full of elegance.
“My stomach hurts.”
“…Master Wonsang will definitely wake up in bed safely.”
“You don’t know that. My mother said it was okay and went to bed and went away like that. At least once the original condition is restored, then let’s move the troops. Anyway, we haven’t even organized the remaining forces that are polite yet.”
“…….”
Yuan Shao did not wish to cross the Yellow River.
No matter what other persuasions you tried, it was not easy, no, impossible to persuade your beloved son when he was sick.
Original.
As the eldest son, Wondam, and the second son, Wonhee, he was the third son and youngest son of Won Soo and grew up receiving a lot of love from Won Won.
However, because he was born weak and sick, he suffered from many minor illnesses, and Yuan Shao postponed his journey south for treatment.
“You will definitely come down after a year. I promise.”
“You don’t have to make a promise. How could a subject go against his lord’s will? Just.”
Simbae bowed deeply and showed respect.
“Unfortunately, this Heuksanjeok operation failed, but it achieved some results. Although failure is not pretty, it is necessary to continue to shake up Cao Cao’s army.”
“How can I shake it?”
“If that’s the case, I’ve already prepared it.”
Shim Bae revealed to Won Won his and other book photographers’ plans.
Yuan Shao nodded his head several times, as if satisfied with the fact that each of the strategists came up with different plans.
“Yes, yes. How nice it is that we don’t fight and help each other like this.
“…It’s not there yet, but everyone agrees that Cao Cao must be overthrown. Even though I don’t want to admit it…”
“I don’t like it?”
“I think Jeon Feng and Jeo Su’s plan will have a greater effect than expected.”
“The wind was an instigation. As for Jeo Soo… hehehe, I wonder if it’s too big of a picture and I’m in trouble, but with Jeo Soo, it’s possible. Oh, I’m not comparing.”
“I know. The Duke never intended to do that.”
Shimbae cleared his throat and showed courtesy again.
“Please look forward to it. I will also think of a good way to take down Cao Cao’s army. And Zhou Gong.”
Shimbae realized once more that Won Soo had not once turned his gaze towards him.
I was happy.
This means that he is immersed in the material he came across.
“…Do you have any income?”
“It might be a little annoying, but let’s study history.”
Yuan Shao tapped the ‘family tree’ of an imperial family brought by Simbae with his fingers.
“Whose descendant is the current emperor?”
“I am the son of Emperor Ling, the late Emperor, who gave you the position of lieutenant.”
“…Son. Yes, he is the child of the previous emperor. And he was also someone’s child, the 26th emperor, ‘Emperor Huan’.”
“I understand that Cao Cao’s grandfather, Cao Teng, was a eunuch who played a major role in helping him ascend to the throne as emperor.”
“Yes. He had three daughters. Do you know who the youngest daughter is?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I know her as Princess Yangjeokjang.”
I have no choice but to know.
Because it was none other than Shim Bae who investigated it.
“Yes. That person, Princess Yangjeokjang. A woman from the royal family who married near the land of Yeongcheon…close to Jojo’s land.”
Yuan Shao’s hand, which had been tapping the genealogy on the desk, stopped.
The tip of his finger was pointing towards the empty space below ‘Princess Yangjeokjang’.
“If she really gave birth to a son, can we say that she has a more legitimate lineage than the current emperor?”
“Of course. Although Emperor Huan put the country in a bit of danger, he was not swayed by Shi Xiangshi like His Majesty Emperor Yong.”
“Yes. It is better to have the blood of a better person rather than the blood of an incompetent Emperor.”
Yuan Shao touched his beard and laughed.
“So, look for him. Princess Yangjeokjang’s son. They say he ran away here when there was an uproar in Yangjeok, Yeongcheon-gun.”
The place that Won Soo pointed to was Ha-nae.
“If Mr. Jang and Mr. Yu have a son, he would be almost 30 by now. …hehehe.”
Yuan Shao quenched his appetite.
“It’s the perfect age to be praised.”
