I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 149
Episode 149. You have to be strong to not be defeated. (2)
After undergoing craniotomy, Jeongchu recovered for about a week in the fireman’s room before returning to the military.
After drinking that day, Jojo occasionally sent people to ask how they were doing, but he didn’t come to the slash-and-burn village anymore.
“Bishop B, now I have to move the medical room.”
The remnants of the Yellow Turbans had also fled out of reach of the punitive forces, and the number of wounded had noticeably decreased.
Eulji nodded at the fireman’s words and ordered the servants to pack.
“The remnants of the Yellow Turban Red Army are gathering toward the completion of Congressman Hwa, then shall we head in that direction?”
The three Zhang brothers who caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion all died, but that did not mean the rebellion was completely over.
Byeongju, Yuju, and Caohong Hanchung Sonzhong, bishops of Cheongju (the original bishop of Cheongju was Tanggu, but he died in a fight with Yeonyeongun and was elevated to the rank of vice-bishop) regrouped the scattered Yellow Turbans and occupied the capital of Wan.
“yes. Please.”
“All right.”
As I was preparing to leave the village after demolishing the tent and packing up all my belongings, a group of war horses came from far away.
Hwabu and Eulji watched quietly, wondering if those riding the warhorse might be Jojo’s group.
However, those who rode warhorses entered the village and entered the nearby houses first, stealing grain, killing those who rebelled, or raping women and children.
“What crazy!”
The moment one of the villagers screamed and blood splattered, the fireman, Eulji, and the executioner ran to the place where the troopers were.
“Stop! What are you doing?”
As the fireman’s party ran, the troopers hesitated for a moment, but then mounted their horses and aimed their weapons.
“Who are you guys?”
“what! Why are there so many warriors gathered in a village with only twenty households?”
“Those bastards seem to be the remnants of the Yellow Turbans… We found them properly.”
“Come to think of it, these bastards are the remnants of the Yellow Turbans! Great. Let’s kill them all and make the ball.”
The cavalrymen fired arrows at the hwabu party and rushed.
“I heard that there is a group of thieves who roam private houses and plunder, so you guys are them!”
Janggoe was the one who ran the most, but Janggoe struck the flying arrow with a sword, then immediately kicked off the fence, jumped up, and cut the neck of the person riding a horse.
Chow-!
Blood gushed like a fountain on the shoulder of the decapitated cavalryman.
The cavalrymen were startled by Janggoe’s outrageous inaction.
The reason cavalry has an advantage in fighting ordinary soldiers is that even though the running horse itself is a weapon, it can freely attack downward from a high place on top of the horse.
However, a fellow cavalryman failed to fire his spear properly and ran away.
“It’s good!”
While the cavalrymen flinched in surprise, Zhang Gui was not satisfied with killing one cavalryman, but continued to move like a ghost and kill the cavalrymen.
When Jang Goe did so, Okju and the executioners also slaughtered the cavalrymen without caring about the circumstances.
As more than a dozen cavalrymen in the front line were killed in an instant, more than a dozen cavalrymen who joined behind them were startled and started to run away.
Janggoe, Okju, and the executioners took the horses of the dead cavalrymen and chased after them, shooting arrows at the fleeing cavalrymen.
Hwabu, Eulji, and the rest of the executioners overpowered the three undead cavalrymen and captured them.
Since they were already mortally wounded, they couldn’t dare to resist.
‘We shouldn’t miss them…..’
The fireman’s face was worried as he watched the troopers fleeing.
They called them thieves, but they were the imperial army. Cao Cao’s cavalrymen already know this place, so they must be the cavalrymen of another Zhonglangzhang…
‘It must be Dong Zhuo’s cavalry. If I miss even one of them, I have to get out of here as quickly as possible.’
Dong Zhuo’s disposition was clear even if it wasn’t history or Cao Cao’s words, just by looking at his subordinates.
“Miss Hwa. They say that they themselves are soldiers under the command of Dong Zhuo Zhonglang.”
At that time, the executioner who interrogated the one who came to his senses among the captives reported with a worried face.
“Is that so too?”
Chow ah!
While the painter let out a sigh, Eulji suddenly raised his sword and cut the throats of the captives.
“Bishop B. Why all of a sudden?”
“We fought bandits plundering houses, not soldiers. These must be bandits disguised as soldiers.”
Not only the fireman, but everyone here knew what Eulji’s words meant.
“It is. We wiped out the bandits. Anyway, prepare to leave quickly and tell the villagers to leave as it is dangerous here.”
“All right.”
When Eulji nodded, the executioners informed the dumbfounded villagers how dangerous the situation was and told them to leave quickly.
The villagers were not fools either, so most of them were already packed without the executioners explaining.
When the fireman’s party packed up and prepared to leave, the gang of Janggoe who had been chasing the cavalrymen returned.
“How is it?”
“I missed two.”
The fireman let out a short sigh and nodded his head.
“It seems they were very nimble.”
“sorry.”
“What are you sorry about? They’re lucky. Let’s go.”
“All right.”
When the returning party joined them, the fireman drove his horse out of the village.
By the time the fireman’s party left the village, the villagers also left the village one by one and began to descend the mountain.
It’s been a while since he left town, but the fireman’s complexion was still dark.
‘The villagers move on foot so they don’t leave marks, but horses and carriages inevitably leave traces. No matter how far I run away, I think I’ll eventually catch up…’
Eulji rode a horse and came to the side, perhaps seeing the painter’s complexion.
“Rep. Hwa, it seems difficult to avoid an additional search party.”
“Iknow, right. I can’t fight the emperor. There is a shea sapae, but… I wonder if it will work.”
“Dong Zhuo’s cavalrymen are of poor quality. Furthermore, dozens of fellow cavalrymen have already been killed, and it may be difficult to dispel them with a sea sapper.”
“It would be difficult to solve it with the name of Joe, right?”
“It might even be poisonous.”
“Is there no choice but to fight?”
“If you want to fight, you can fight, but then it will bring more anger. Coincidentally, the executioners found a cave nearby while bringing the wounded, so it would be better to hide there and erase the traces.”
“Is there a cave large enough for the wagon and horse to hide?”
“Everybody can’t hide, but about two-thirds are said to be able to hide. I will give the other third a ride away on horseback.”
“Ah, then I’ll head in that direction.”
“I guess so.”
“All right. I will.”
According to Eulji’s plan, most of the firefighters’ party erased the traces by hiding in the cave, and the rest deliberately left traces and fled.

“What! There are still remnants of the Yellow Turbans?”
Dong Zhuo looked at the two cavalrymen who had returned with bloodied shoulders and backs with an absurd expression.
Most of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans had already disappeared, so they were relieved and released their soldiers to condescend to Hwang Bo-sung and Cao Cao.
It was only when he showed condescension like this that he would have something to say when he returned to the imperial palace and discussed the merits and demerits.
But, to my surprise, I ended up being covered in feces even during the condescension.
The fact that the two cavalrymen had barely returned alive and reported would have reached the ears of Hwang Bo-sung and Cao Cao, who were watching from the other side.
“Because it’s your small town, they suddenly caught our guard…
”
Dong Tak takes the wounded soldiers to his barracks to receive treatment, while calling his younger brother, Dong Min.
Dong-Min was the vanguard of Dong-Tak and had excellent martial arts.
“Minah, you should step up before I lose my face even more.”
“All right. I will gather my nimble cavalrymen and come to subdue the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.”
“How did I end up like this…”
“Brother, I inherited a situation that even old Shik couldn’t do anything about with ten times more Yellow Turban enemies. At least, if it wasn’t for my brother and me, we wouldn’t have been able to maintain this army.”
“That’s not true. Now that you know it, hurry up and get the heads of those remnants.”
“yes.”
After a while, Dongmin took 100 nimble cavalrymen and headed for Odeoksan Mountain.
Cao Cao saw Dong Zhuo’s cavalrymen return bloody, but he had no idea that they were related to Huafu. It was only to the point of harassing the good people and thinking that it was good.
* * *
Seeing the already empty slash-and-burn village, Dong-min was furious enough to grab his back, and soon formed a pursuit party and sent it to three directions.
However, it was difficult to find any evidence.
Fortunately, I found the traces of horses and wagons and chased after them. For some reason, I ran until the sun went down, but I couldn’t find the tails of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
Dongmin finally gave up the chase as the sun went down and it got dark.
“The bastards of the thieves… knew how to chase us and ran away to their death.”
They themselves rode horses, but the other also rode horses and carriages.
Dong-min did not want to get too far from the military camp, so he had no choice but to return to the main camp.
“It looks like he wanted to set up a ball for quite some time.”
The fireman shook his head as he looked at the pursuers returning the way they had come.
“If I wanted to set the ball up, I would have followed it to the end. They were just condescending.”
At Eulji’s words, the painter tilted his head.
“Are you just showing condescension? Didn’t you give up because it was getting dark?”
“It could be, but the author probably won’t. There are people in the military who were raised for tracking. Darkness is not a hindrance to them. If you put your mind to it, you can find as many as we like.”
“is it so? But why did you stop pursuing them?”
“They didn’t bring them because they thought they weren’t in their unit or could be easily tracked down. If you listen to the people you treated, there are many such people under Jojo.”
“okay. So, fortunately for us. If there were such people, those of us who were hiding could have been discovered.”
“It is. We were fortunate to have such people following us. If it were Cao Cao’s army… it would have been difficult.”
“If it was Joe’s army, there would have been no conflict from the beginning.”
“…..”
The painter passed the big risk, but he thought that he shouldn’t let someone like Dong Zhuo succeed in the world. So the next day, he wrote a letter to Hwang Wan Tae-wi to inform him of Dong Tak’s reality and sent it to Ok-ju’s side.
After spending the night in the cave, the fireman’s party did not set off immediately the next day, but after releasing someone to see if there was any cavalry pursuing them, they set off.
