I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 253

Episode 253. A competent commander saves more soldiers than a lawmaker

.

The fireman met Jin-gyu-sang without being accompanied by Hyeon-wi Ha, who was the prefect of Cho-hyeon. And, as Zhuge Liang said, he brought up the topic of command, but was rejected with a single knife.

“Tsk, what kind of command authority is a monk who has no experience in actual combat talking about? I had heard earlier that Buddhist monks treated the wounded near the battlefield. So, don’t be greedy and use the Chohyeon-gun you brought to protect military provisions from the rear and treat the wounded when they are brought back.”

The painter was immediately annoyed by Jin-gyu-sang’s words, but he hid his expression and nodded.

“All right. I will do as you have been considerate of.”

‘In the end, as Zhuge Liang expected, I have no choice but to wait for the right time while taking charge of the rear.’

It was regrettable that it became the next best option, but as Zhuge Liang said, it was still too early to take away the command by citing Lu Bu or Woo Jin.

* * *

After a while, Hwabu and Hyeonwi attended the meeting of the commanders and heard about the strategies and tactics that had been set up in advance, and informed Zhuge Liang and the generals of the contents.

“Jingyu-san is greedy.”

Hearing the words of Hwabu and Hyeonwi Ha, Zhuge Liang clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“What are you greedy for?”

It was Lu Bu who raised doubts about Zhuge Liang’s words.

Lu Bu was a bit unreliable towards Zhuge Liang, who suddenly appeared and took on the role of Jinang.

In fact, not only Yeo-po but also most of the generals except for Ok-ju and Jang-goe felt the same way. Although he heard that his older brother was Sun Ce’s military commander Zhuge Jin, his age and reputation were incomparable to his older brother.

Although Zhuge Liang met Lu Bu’s bewildered eyes, he did not shrink at all and spoke clearly.

“Princess Jasa must have told us to fight in moderation and pass the time. However, if you look at the current strategy, the goal is to capture Sopae Fortress. That’s why I said I was greedy.”

“There are only 20,000 soldiers in Sopae Castle, and there are as many as 100,000 soldiers gathered here. Wouldn’t it be natural to be greedy?”

“If you decide to have 20,000 soldiers and start a defensive battle, even 100,000 soldiers will not be able to capture the castle easily. Furthermore, Liu Bei’s sworn brothers are great generals who have fought numerous wars.”

“No matter how great a commander is, the difference in troops by five times is huge.”

“If General Yeo or General Wu had stood at the forefront as generals, I would have taken it as a natural strategy.”

“…..”

“…..”

“You mean we will have a difficult fight because we are not?”

“Aren’t you sure that General Yeo already made a similar guess to mine?”

When Zhuge Liang asked again, Lu Bu put on a slightly disbelieving expression.

“You’re not at the level of guessing, but you’re confident… Are you the one who suggested to the congressman that you take a chance by stepping out of the battlefield?”

“yes.”

“I can’t believe it. I didn’t understand why Congressman Hwa took care of you when he suddenly appeared… You’re as good an aide as Sun Ce’s military brother.”

“I’m still not up to my brother’s wisdom.”

“There is nothing to be humble about. Just what you’ve shown me so far is enough for me to trust you.”

* * *

There was a deep gorge between Liu Bei’s forehead.

‘Dokyeom’s shallow numbers put me in a quandary! What shall I do with this?’

In fact, Liu Bi already knew that Do-gyeom would be treated with respect. However, since he was riding on the back of a tiger like a symbol, he could not stop the war at will.

If there was, it was only to win the war or surrender.

“Brother, what are you so worried about? The walls are so high and so strong that even Cao Cao’s army could not cross this place, can Ye Zhou’s soldiers, who have never fought a mediocre war, overcome this place?”

Equipment was the one who spoke up after seeing Liu Bei struggling.

“There may be a lack of experience in combat because they have not fought a war so far, but the horses and soldiers will be intact. So it can’t be taken lightly.”

“That said, if Woo hyung and I go out first and break the enemy’s brunt, we can have a good fight.”

“The enemy has 100,000 soldiers, but can you break the brunt?”

“If Jin-Kyu-Sang knows the art of war, he will surely send an advance party. If Woo and I take out 5,000 nimble cavalrymen, beat the advance party, and harass the second party day and night, we can make them exhausted before reaching the castle.”

Liu Bei listened to the equipment and thought for a while, then nodded.

“Right now, your method makes the most sense. While I prepare the Mercury, wow, you should defeat the advance corps of pre-emptive soldiers and disturb the second corps day and night, making them as tired as possible.”

“All right.”

After Liu Bei’s permission was granted, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led 3,000 and 2,000 cavalry soldiers, respectively, to meet the advance party of Ye Zhu.

* * *

Contrary to his plan, Do-gyeom, who was trying to get Liu Bi and the princess of Ye-ju to fight, heard the news that 300,000 soldiers of Ye-ju gathered and invaded Seo-ju, and his mind turned white like a sheet of paper.

“The crocodile, not the meat, took the bait I threw with fishing bait and rushed to bite me too! What am I going to do with this?”

“A crocodile is a crocodile, but it is still a baby crocodile.”

At Jindeung’s words, Dokyeom tilted his head.

“A baby crocodile? What do you mean?”

“Out of 300,000, 100,000 headed for Sopaeseong, and 200,000 soldiers marched in two directions. In addition, they are people who have no real combat experience fighting against each other…”

As Jindeung explained, the worry that had been on Dokyeom’s face disappeared.

“If you thoroughly hold on to the defense, it will be difficult to win, but you won’t lose, right?”

It was a strategy that could come out because it was a big war, but it was rich in grain and goods.

“yes. And if time passes and Liu Bei-gun defeats the enemy in Sopae Castle, it will be rather advantageous for us from then on.”

“I ended up having a rather big fight by brushing off the embarrassing Yubi, but… Keugh!”

Suddenly, DK stopped talking and leaned down, clutching at his stomach in pain.

“Joo Joo Gong! Are you sick to your stomach again?”

“Bring another decoction. Take the decoction right away…..”

“Hey, call the city council right away and order the decoction.”

After a while, the doctor came, placed the acupuncture needles, and drank the decoction before Do-gyeom’s distorted face straightened.

“Are you all right now?”

“Sick intervals are getting shorter and shorter. Hasn’t Hong Xiao, who went to pick up Hua Tuo, returned yet?”

“It’s been many days already, so I’ll bring it to you soon.”

“It’s already been 15 days, but how is it so slow?”

“Please be patient.”

“Ha~. Jong City Council. How is my stomach feeling?”

“The progress of the disease… I apologize for not letting you know, but it is accelerating. It seems that not getting enough sleep these days is aggravating the condition.”

“Would you be able to fall asleep in a situation like this?”

“…..”

“I need to rest for a bit, so everyone go out.”

“yes.”

DK closed his eyes with a tired face, and Jindeung, the city council, and high-ranking ministers went outside.

Jindeung asked the protester when the sound of his words reached the distance where Dokyeom couldn’t hear him.

“Is there still no message from Hong Su, who went to pick up Hua Tuo?”

“yes. It seems that activities in Yeju are not easy due to strict inspections due to war preparations.”

“No matter how much it is, it’s already been 15 days, and you can’t bring a member of the council?”

“Hongso took those with great skills, so if things don’t work out, he’ll kidnap them and bring them back. Please wait a moment.”

“If the Duke of Zhou falls, even if the war is won, it is not won.”

“I am Hong So, who went through Nangguan and even Sheeosa. Please believe in me and wait for me.”

“Eh~. That’s the poet…”

Jindeung tried to say something more, but closed his mouth.

* * *

“Mr. Sieosa Hong So asked to see you.”

“Seausa!”

Hwabu, who was following the defeated army at the rear with 3,000 troops, listened to the commander’s report and tilted his head.

Since the painter has the position of an eosa monk, he naturally receives reports from and gives orders to the fishermen. But those things mostly disappeared after Dong Zhuo took the emperor from Luoyang to Chang’an.

As the siresa, who had to conduct secret inspections, did not receive a proper salary and could not mobilize the current guards, his position became insignificant, and as a result, the position of sage monk held by the painter disappeared and became unavailable to the feudal lord or governor.

In such a situation, when she said that she was looking for her after a long time, she naturally tilted her head.

“Yes, Senator.”

“Bring it to me at once.”

“By the way, Senator. That sheer was an important matter, so I wanted to meet him outside the military camp.”

“Out of the military camp?”

The fireman asked and tilted his head.

‘Is it related to corruption in the military?’

“yes.”

“I get it. Guide him to where he is.”

“yes.”

When the fireman followed the commander, the enemy lion and Okju followed.

Since Yeopo and Janggoe Haman are generals and lead the army, they are the only ones escorting the fireman for the time being.

When we got out of the military camp and reached the inn of a private house, a man got up from his seat, pretended not to know the commander who guided the fireman, and bowed his head toward the fireman.

“Hongso, the master teacher, sees Master Hwa.”

Hong So, perhaps to prove his identity, took out the Shea Sapae so that the painter could recognize him.

“Sheer is right. But why did you call me here?”

Usually, when there is a report issue, the official seal of the sire company is taken and the janggye is posted. It wasn’t like that, so the painter asked.

“It was an issue that people in the military department shouldn’t know about, so I inevitably asked for Master Eosa from outside.”

Hong So, speaking, glanced at the general, the enemy lion, and Ok-ju standing behind the burner.

“Sama Wall, please wait outside for a while.”

“All right.”

When the commander left, the fireman looked at Hongso.

“Now report.”

Hong So put on a slightly puzzled expression when Ok-ju and the red messenger stayed there.

“Aren’t the two people in the back members of the military?”

“These are my poems.”

“ah! You see.”

“But who are the people behind them?”

The fireman looked at the warriors sitting behind Hongso. It was because there were four of them, and it was because I didn’t understand why they were sitting in the yard where they went to the military commander’s quarters.

“They are my poems. Everyone come this way and say hello to Master Eosa.”

“yes.”

The four samurai came and bowed their heads, and the painter looked at Hong Xiao after being greeted.

“So what is it that the people in the military shouldn’t listen to?”

“Eosa monk Hwa is not only a monk, but he is also a member of the council, right?”

“What is it?”

“Actually, the reason I called Master Eosa so closely is because the person with the highest rank is not feeling well.”

In an instant, the fireman’s face was frowned upon.

This wasn’t something Seersa would call herself.

The painter was about to get angry, but once held back and opened his mouth.

“But who is he that people in the military shouldn’t listen to him?”

“I hear that Master Eosa is joining the defeated army and fighting.”

“so?”

“The person who is not feeling well has enemies in Xuzhou, so treating him can be seen as an act of militancy.

“Until now, I treated patients without distinguishing between enemies and children.”
