I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 262
Episode 262. Blowing your nose without touching your hand (1)
After secretly meeting not only Ju-deok but also the other two deputy commanders, Yeo-po conveyed their plans to the fire department.
The fireman was absurd.
“I’m trying my best to capture the small planet without damage as much as possible, but they’re preparing to stab me in the back.”
“From the start, they weren’t trustworthy.”
“I knew that, but I thought there would be at least a conscience.”
“There is no such thing as conscience when it comes to lust for power.”
The fox smiled and spoke.
“I met them one by one and they all have greed, but they are still clumsy. Since they were youngsters who had never experienced true trickery, they seemed to forget the congressman and fight each other if they acted a little impulsively.”
Their behavior was laughable to Yeopo, who had gone through all sorts of scheming and alienation in the imperial palace.
“But they are not fools either. At least we will fight after the castle has been captured. And that would be after you took away my command.”
“Do you intend to return command?”
The fireman shook his head.
“I have seen many ills caused by incompetent commanders. It’s hard to count how many thousands of people died because of them. I don’t want to give back command, even for the sake of the soldiers.”
Lu Bu’s eyes lit up at the fireman’s answer.
“You have made up your mind. If you give me an order, I will slit the throats of the four youngsters right away.”
“I think it is still a little early. If you don’t do it right, there will be a backlash from the generals under your command.”
“They are all no-nonsense bastards. With our power, we can subdue them at once.”
“I will still be dissatisfied. That’s not a good idea.”
“Is there any other number?”
“As the commander-in-chief said earlier. Even if you provoke them a little, they will fight each other.”
“But didn’t you say that you would fight when discussing the merits and demerits after the fall of Sopae Castle?”
The fireman answered with a slightly light expression.
“How about if the general instills some impatience in them?”
“Impatient? hmm! Then I will have to appear as if I have parted ways with you first.”
Since she was a woman who had lived in the imperial palace many times, the painter noticed it first without having to explain it one by one.
“That should be enough. They are greedy people, so even if you stay still, you will be seen as conflicting over who to go under. Then they will be agitated and show their ambitions.”
“If the leadership fights for self-interest rather than the enemy before a battle, the trust of the generals and soldiers will be lost.”
“If you lose trust… there won’t be many people who will mourn even if you die.”
Yeo-po smiled bitterly at the painter, who smiled with a slightly confused expression.
‘A lofty person like you is getting mud on your feet because of the pup wolves!’
“All right. Then, I will act as if I have fallen out with you, so please understand if I hear something bad.”
“Haha, please don’t curse at me too much.”
“To fake it properly, you have to pretend to be sincere.”
After the close talk between Yeo Po and Hwabu, Yeo Po moved in earnest, and Eulji secretly began to spread rumors among the soldiers that Jin-gyu and the deputy commanders had a rift.
* * *
Jin-gyu and the three deputy commanders were not very interested in how and when Hwabu would attack Sopaeseong, or the movement of the soldiers.
They secretly summoned Yeopo or Woogeum, treated them splendidly, which was difficult to do on the battlefield, and were busy issuing empty checks promising to pay a price beyond their capabilities.
bang!
Jin-gyu unknowingly hit the table.
“what? Ju-deok is pushing for a marriage with his daughter by farting at Yeo-po?”
“Yes, you are truly shameless. I know that Lu Bu already has feelings for the Duke of Zhou, but how can that be?”
Jin-gyu had feelings for Yeo-po, but Lu-po did not have feelings for Jin-gyu. However, from the point of view of the flattery subordinate, the truth was not known. You just need to spit out good words at the right time to raise your status.
“I heard that Lu Bu betrayed Dong Zhuo because of a girl named Cho Seon… I can’t leave this alone. I need to call Judeok and punish him.”
After a while, Jin-gyu ordered a subordinate to call Ju-deok.
And I tried to tingle my soul.
But Zhu De was also a prize for both countries. Although he is a little weaker than defeated, he is not a person who will listen to scolding.
“No, I mean, isn’t Yeo Po a member of Congressman Hwa and not a true person? But what right do you have to tell me not to marry my daughter?”
When Ju-deok confronted him with an angry face, Jin-gyu’s face turned red with anger.
“What? Does anyone who knows how much effort I put into Lü Bu say that?”
“A ball is a ball, and a suitable son-in-law appears and says he will marry his daughter, but no matter how sincere it may be, if he blocks her wedding, I won’t stand still.”
“what? Do you think I don’t know that you are trying to seduce the follicle with your daughter as bait?”
“what? daughter? No matter how true it is, the words are harsh. And that…”
The more they talked, the more their voices got louder, and the escorting protesters separated as if they were about to draw their swords.
Udangtang.
In the end, Ju-deok kicked out of the chair, glancing at Jin-gyu.
“Do you think he will stay quiet if I tell Congressman Hwa that you are seducing Lu Bu? Don’t try to keep me in check, and keep Congressman Hwa in check.”
“What?”
As Ju-deok disappeared under the escort of the demonstrators, Jin-gyu gnashed his teeth to the point of making a loud noise.
“I was raising a tiger cub, not a cat. Call Taesoo Jeong and Taesoo Dong immediately.”
“Your master.”
* * *
The fireman heard that Liu Bei asked to see him and went to the army doctor’s office.
“You said you found me?”
“yes. I heard that the preparations to attack Sopae Castle are almost finished… I have something to tell you.”
“Yeah, I thought it would be easy to attack with your help, but I couldn’t bear to ask. Anyway, how is your body? I told you to pay special attention to the disciples.”
“I got acupuncture and got a little better, but my left leg is still sore.”
“If you can use the decoction properly later, you may not know the legs, but the other parts will be the same as before.”
“I guess so.”
“So what are you going to say to me?”
“Currently, Do-wook, the nephew of Do-kyeom, a member of the Western Zhou Company, is guarding the castle.”
“Do-wook? If you’re DK’s nephew, you might have heard of it, but I don’t remember hearing it.”
“Because he is the one DK placed to watch over me, he is not good at warfare. The people are nothing special, but the family is just great.”
“Well, it’s a joke, but if I only ordered a spy… it would be like that.”
“Anyway, I’ve been through Do-wook, and he’s greedy but also timid. So by now you should be more prepared to run away than to fight.”
In an instant, the fireman’s eyes sparkled.
At present, Sopae Castle was completely surrounded by defeated forces. Even if he had the heart to run away, he would not have been able to run away.
“If you are preparing to run away, if I show you an opening after moderately attacking, you will escape that way.”
“It is. If you open one of the four doors, he will definitely not look back at the safety of the people or soldiers.”
It was easy to kill or capture if you made an escape route and sold a trap.
“If you capture it, it’s like having a hand for DK to use.”
“It’s only a spy, so it won’t be a big deal. But it’s still better than nothing.”
“Since it is such a strong castle, I expected that the sacrifice of the soldiers would be inevitable, but thank you.”
“Anyway, I heard that the captives don’t convert well because of us.”
“At first, there were no signs of success, but after word spread that my disciples had cured you guys, the number of people who converted increased considerably.”
The painter said that he had increased, but he could not hide his bitter smile.
Even after putting in a lot of effort for quite a long time, only 30 percent of the prisoners had yet to convert.
“If you accept it, I will go under your command. Then won’t they all convert?”
The painter looked at Liu Bei with strange eyes for a moment.
“That’s right, but you’re going to come under me?”
In fact, in the meantime, I tried to tell Liu Bei to become his subordinate several times.
I was thinking of recommending it after the capture of Sopae Castle, but unexpectedly, Liu Bei spoke first.
“yes.”
“It seems to be to get out of the current situation, but that’s okay too. I won’t say anything even if you just help me attack Sopaeseong and leave.”
Liu Bei’s face turned red as if the fireman’s words had been stabbed to the core.
“You guess I won’t be under your senator for long.”
“My left leg became very uncomfortable, but I guessed that the meaning I had in my heart would not be broken because of the discomfort.”
“You seem to not only see through my body, but also through my heart.”
“I know that I am an alumni of Gongsun Zan and have a deep friendship like a real brother. By the way, after Cao hyung’s army withdrew, Gong Rong’s army withdrew as well, but you occupied Sopae Castle and held out. Anyone can guess what’s on your mind. The reason why DK planted his nephew as a spy and tried to cheat on you is probably because he understood what I was thinking about you.”
“Oops, after listening to it, I must have been too foolish.”
“Aren’t Cao hyung, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao all the same? Besides, you have excellent military commanders such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as step-brothers, and don’t you also have blood in the imperial family?”
“Am I the only feudal lord with the blood of the imperial family? It’s not that I’m just greedy. And most of all, looking at Congressman Hwa these days, I wonder if my greed was futile.”
At Liu Bei’s words, the painter tilted his head.
“because of me?”
“Gwanwoo and equipment to me. I have two younger brothers, but what’s so great about that? Yeopo, Woogeum, and even Haman Okju, the chieftain under Congressman. I have nothing to complain about. In addition, this time, I saw a soldier named Zhuge Liang who uses the demonic system. It is said that he is the younger brother of Sun Ce’s soldier Zhuge Jin. I thought that even such a congressman thinks of soldiers like this, but I only think of my own greed.”
“Somehow, that’s what happened. What would be great?”
“In addition, how many times have my brothers and I been in debt for our lives? I am also a greedy guy. Even though I couldn’t repay the favor, I started a fight on the contrary, so I have nothing to say even if I open my mouth.”
“Isn’t it because you didn’t know? I understand everything.”
“So more so. I don’t know if you would rather throw us out, but if that’s not the case, please take us.”
The painter quietly looked at Liu Bei’s face.
“Yes, I know your heart. If you help me, nothing more. However, when you leave, I want you to say something and leave. Again, I will send it without blushing.”
“All right. And maybe, contrary to your concerns, you may not leave.”
When Liu Bei said something that left a lasting impression, the painter smiled.
“Okay, let’s see that one more time. My heart is always the same.”
The painter intended to receive as much help as possible when Liu Bei’s brother-in-law helped.
* * *
After blushing a few times between Jin-gyu and Ju-deok and going back and forth between Goseong, even the generals of both camps became indifferent.
As the generals did, the military officers also became similar, and fights broke out over trivial issues.
Lü Bu deliberately looked on and pretended not to see their fight.
While spending the time without attacking Sopaeseong, the internal divisions eventually surfaced, and the military officers and generals who did not participate in the fight between the two factions came and asked Lu Bu and Wu Jin to mediate.
“The one who appointed me as the general is Master Hwa, and the one who appointed Master Hwa as temporary commander is Jin-Gyu-Sang, so how can I intervene in the fight between the two?”
“Captain. However, if we continue like this, our allies will destroy themselves first due to a civil war before we can fight the enemy. We are all determined to follow the general and Master Hwaeo, so please stop the two phases of fighting by force.”
“If that’s what all of you want, I’ll give it to Master Hwaeo.”
Lü Bu smiled heartily inwardly as he saw about 60% of the military commanders begging for help.
Among the begging chiefs, there were many chiefs of Jin-gyu and Ju-deok.
