I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon - Chapter 337
Episode 337. Heart hot, head calm. (2)
After a while, like Ma Teng said, he could see an army of about 100,000 people escaping from the enemy camp.
Macho was impatient, but when he saw his father’s relaxed expression, he didn’t say anything and waited, watching the situation.
Time passed and it became a dark night.
In the end, the impatient macho asked first.
“Father seems less cold than I thought. I think it went out to about 100,000 a while ago…. Doesn’t it look like it’s not moving any more? 100,000 is enough to destroy 30,000 of Xiahu Yan.”
It meant attacking the enemy even now.
Ma-deung, who had a relaxed expression until now, tilted his head when he heard his son’s words.
“Hmm….. Did I look at Eosa Daebu a bit easily? Anyone who knows the military will know how important revenge for damage and morale are, but is it because they are giving up on practical reasons?”
“Father, I will lead 10,000 soldiers and check the enemy’s movement.”
“Let’s think about it for a moment.”
“Father, I have waited long enough. If you miss the timing, those who chased the soldiers of Xiahuyeon before three o’clock may come back.”
Ma Chao urged him, but Ma Deng still couldn’t decide.
“Taking their remaining army is no big deal, but I’m not sure yet. Eosa Daebu didn’t seem foolish enough to think that he could stop us by dividing the army into two sides…”
“Father! By tomorrow it could be really late. I’ll go and give it a shot. Wouldn’t it be a problem if only 10,000 were missing?”
As Ma Chao continued to urge him, Hong Seong-yeong, the bookkeeper that Ma Teng trusted the most, implicitly agreed.
“I think it would be a good idea to follow General Ma’s wishes this time. General Ma’s martial arts are the best in Xiliang, so 10,000 cavalry is enough to inflict great damage on the enemy.”
Ma-Deng was conflicted by Ma-Cho’s words, but did not worry too much about Sung-Yeong’s words.
Sung-Young Sung is not very talkative when it comes to books, but sometimes when he makes a decision, the prudence of the decision is so great that it is difficult for anyone to follow.
“good night. Then take the cavalryman and stab them once.”
“yes.”
Macho sent a quick glance of thanks to Kong Sung-young and got on the horse.

The fireman, who was running in the lead, spotted Eulji’s subordinate, Gamseok, coming from a distance with a skirmisher.
And only then did one piece of my heart set.
“Eulji Danju will be fine.”
Gam-seok is an important subordinate of Eul-ji, but he is not good at martial arts. Because of this, he was the one who hid into the castle with Eulji when the fight broke out.
If Gamseok was alive, there was a high possibility that Eulji would be alive.
When the fireman stopped talking, Gamseok, who had come with the scout, bowed his head to the fireman.
“Fortunately, Eosa Daebu is unharmed.”
“As you can see. How is Eulji Danju?”
“Yes, I dodged well. Thanks to that, we were also safe.”
At Gamseok’s words, the painter let out a sigh of relief once more.
“Then, will all those who hid with Eulji Danju be safe?”
“Most of you are fine.”
Gamseok lowered his head again and spoke.
“I came because Eulji Danju has a messenger to tell the governor. About two o’clock in advance, I led the soldiers of the capital city and started moving toward Hadong-gun.”
“Before?”
“yes. There are no more troops left in Luoyang.”
“You’re a cunning guy after all.”
The painter chewed his molars.
“I didn’t think it would be easy to abandon Luoyangseong…”
Hwabu’s soldiers were marching directly toward Luoyangseong, so if Gamseok hadn’t come and informed them, they would have had to chase after them again after being fooled.
It was not common to wear hair before.
In his head, the fireman made a prediction about which route the soldiers departing from Lukyang would take to go to Hadong-gun.
‘If you want to escape quickly, you have to board a boat through the plains, and if you want to escape secretly, you have to cross the mountains. He said it was two o’clock ahead, so if we turn left and cross Jeokwon Mountain in the north, we should be able to catch up.’
While the painter was drawing the enemy’s movement route in his head, Gamseok opened his mouth.
“About 30 camouflages and soldiers, including Eosa Daebu and General Jo Woon, were injured and mixed among the corpses of the capital city, we secretly moved them to the inner city and gave first aid. So, he told me to tell him that he needs to be treated quickly.”
“what? Are you saying General Zhao Yun is still alive? Then, what about General Yeopo?”
“Unfortunately, General Yeopo passed away.”
“I see.”
The fireman gasped bitterly and shouted back.
“Just spleen.”
“Your master.”
“Go and tell Bo to lead the legislators with Dang Ji to the capital of Luoyang.”
“I take orders.”
Gamseok made a slightly puzzled expression at the painter’s words.
“Wouldn’t Master Eosa come to Luoyang?”
All of them were in a hurry, so if the fireman didn’t come, many people wouldn’t be able to live.
At Gamseok’s question, the painter shook his head and made up his mind.
He was a human being before he was a member of parliament. If now is not the time, when will you get your revenge?
“The skills of the disciples are no less than mine, so they should be able to treat the wounded.”
“All right.”
Gamseok lowered his head when he saw his eyes burning with anger like the flames of a fireman.
“Tell Eulji Danju that I will come after decapitating the cunning enemies and see you then.”
“Your master.”
After a while, Hwabu sent Oh Bo, Lee Dang-ji, and several lawmakers to Luoyangseong, and then turned his head to the north of Jeokwonsan.

When people get excited or angry, they tend to lose their temper, but the fireman somehow became cool as time passed and even analyzed all situations closely.
“Banggun.”
“Your master.”
“Can the soldiers on the border of Hongnong Army stop Ma Teng’s army?”
Huabu was worried about the soldiers on the border of the Hongnong Army.
Ma Teng, along with Han Su, is a strong representative of Xiliang. If it was a similar force, it would not be pushed back, but I thought that if it was a force with a difference of 100,000, it might be pushed back.
“Even though I have led 100,000 soldiers to save the Duke, the standing soldiers have already grasped the terrain and set up enough traps. Although Ma Deng is great, it will be difficult to break through it. However, I stood and concluded that the military commander’s opinion was the same as mine, and that there was no need to stop it.”
“You don’t need to stop?”
“yes. If the Duke of Zhou hadn’t been betrayed by Empress Wu Ping, it would have been better to block the Xiliang forces as they were. But circumstances have changed, so tactics must change too. Of course, if the lord does not allow it, I will stop it, but I believe that the lord will allow it.”
The painter listened to Bangtong’s words, thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth.
“If you don’t need to stop, are you thinking of abandoning Luoyang?”
“no. Why do you throw away the hard-earned Luoyang? But Ma Deng will regard us as having abandoned Luoyang.”
“Tell me more specifically.”
“If we disappear from Luoyang, Ma Teng’s spear will be directed at Wu Ping’s army, not us.”
In an instant, the fireman’s eyes flashed open.
“It won’t be easy to trick Ma Teng, and besides, will he really try to fight Cao Cao?”
“Ma Deng is a greedy person. We just need to instigate that greed.”
“Are you deliberately going to be defeated and withdraw from Luoyang as a way to instigate greed and run away in the direction of Queen Wuping’s army?”
“Something similar. Ma Teng is a person no different from Dong Tak or Li Gak Guo, so he must be aiming for the world. After defeating us, they will surely become arrogant and return their troops directly to the imperial castle.”
It is a short distance from Luoyang that can be reached by horseback in three days.
“It means turning Ma Teng’s army back to Xu Du.”
“That’s right.”
Bangtong laughed and said.
“Even if that were not the case, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to pay attention to Ji-ju and Yu-ju any longer just because of the rumor that Ma Teng ate Luoyang.”
“Okay. Back then, it would have been safe, but it’s not like that now.”
“It is. In the past, the Duke of Zhou was guarding it, so Cao Cao could trust the Duke of Zhou and empty the imperial castle, but now he can’t. The fire that fell on Jojo’s feet should be extinguished by Jojo himself.”
“It is a good plan. While Ma Teng heads for the Hwangseong, we can pursue the former who escaped and take revenge.”
“yes. If you take revenge on the former and occupy Hadong-gun and Ha-nae-gun, Han-soo, who has troops stationed in Pungik-gun, will surely be greedy.”
“If Hansu attacks, I’ll just give Hadong-gun and Ha-nae-gun and allow them to head to the Hwangseong.”
“It is. If that happens, Ma Teng and Han Sui’s army of Xiliang and Queen Wu Ping will have no choice but to fight.”
The fireman looked at the chamber with startled eyes.
Luoyang and Hadong Ha-nae are big surnames, but by abandoning them, they plan to make Ma-deung and Jojo stick together. In Go, it was similar to a private stone operation in which a large bait was given and the board itself was won.
“It is a very good ploy.”
The fireman’s face showed satisfaction.
The fireman ultimately wanted an end to the war in the world, which was troubled by war. That was a way to save many people more effectively than curing and saving thousands.
After Cao Cao and the Western Liang army are destroyed, the day will come fast.
It could have cut the length of a war recorded in history books for decades by less than half.

Previously, as he led a little less than 30,000 soldiers and fled toward Hadong-gun, he desperately contemplated how to evade the pursuit of Hwabu.
‘It’s going to be difficult for all of them to reach Hadong-gun alive, so I’ll have to get rid of their tails.’
Like a lizard, the tail needs to be cut off, but the size of the tail should be cut, as if it hadn’t been decided.
‘Since he came back from the dead, no matter how much he faces the Xiliang Army, he will bring at least 50,000 people. If I give him about 10,000 as his tail and buy some time, I can join Hadong-gun.’
Before, I made a decision of my mind after making a rough prediction.
“General Eat.”
“Your soldier.”
Meokpyeong was a general in the rank of a thousand generals in Bonsi, and all the generals who could be said to be his superiors were attacked by Yeo Po, and now he and two other generals of the thousand generals were temporarily dividing and commanding 10,000 soldiers each.
“Eosa Godfather must have known by now that we had left Luoyang.”
“yes? Did you notice already?”
“Eosa Daebu is the one who aims for the world. We cannot ignore the intelligence of such a person.”
“I guess so.”
“If Eosa Daebu leads the military and pursues us, they will definitely come across Jeokwon Mountain. So, lead 10,000 archers to the side of Jeokpo Valley and set up an ambush.”
“All right.”
Meokpyeong, perhaps not realizing that he and his 10,000 archers were nothing more than tails feeding the enemy, immediately raised a military rite and led 10,000 archers toward Jeokwonsan Mountain.
‘A quick-witted general would have asked why he didn’t follow me, but he doesn’t even turn his head.’
Previously, he ate his appetite while watching the soldiers who were getting farther away.
Even if you are at least a general level general, you will know with common sense that if you set up an ambush, a second raid team must be organized to subdue the enemies in the ambush.
However, Meokpyeong did not have any doubts even though he had not organized a second raid.
If I had doubts, I would have made an appropriate excuse, but since I didn’t doubt it, it was comfortable.
However, this was also a proof that his sense as a conductor of food reviews was that dull.
Mokpyeong will ambush as ordered, but there is a high possibility that it will end without giving the enemy a big hit.
‘If I had 10,000 archers, I could inflict quite a lot of damage on the enemy… but there aren’t enough talented people to expect such a thing!’
Jeon realized once again the absence of longevity and hurried his steps.
