[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

104 – Joao, Dies (2)

Joao.

He is a young man who has just passed his term of service this year and is from the Jo family, and was selected by Jo Jo as his successor.

As for his abilities, there is nothing special about them.

His talent as a military commander is mediocre, and his talent as a strategist is also mediocre. The ability to command troops is mediocre, and the ability to govern an area is also mediocre.

Of course, this word ‘ordinary’ does not mean that he was ordinary among numerous civil and military officials, but rather, it means that he was ordinary among famous generals under various feudal lords.

Many people thought

Why was this young man, who cannot be said to be exceptional, chosen by Cao Cao to become Cao Cao’s successor?

No one knows the exact reason.

Although he is around the same age as Jojo’s son in terms of actual age, Jojo has not yet married or had children.

So, someone said that Joao was his own son that Jojo gave birth to in secret, but unfortunately, Jojo did not hide himself somewhere for ten months or went into seclusion for at least three months.

-Isn’t it just because Jo Ang is the most proficient in the Jo family?

-What do you mean it’s okay?

-Isn’t Jo Ang a direct descendant of Jo Jo’s grandfather?

Cao Cao was the adopted son of Cao Song.

Jo Soong was also the adopted son of his father, Jo Deung.

Cao Cao hid his gender and lived the life of a man, but Cao Cao revealed her abilities to the world from a young age and made a name for herself by holding public office even though she was a woman.

In the background was the eunuch Jo Deung.

Some people questioned the Jo family about how they could have a legitimate son since Jo was a eunuch, but the Jo family continued the lineage by adopting a child from the same blood family.

Likewise, Jo Jo adopted Jo Ang, who had the closest lineage to Jo Deung.

To prevent a fight over the successor in the future, the person who could be considered the most ‘rightful eldest’ within the Jo family was adopted.

However, since both of them are probably dead, Jojo is at a loss.

“Ugh, I’m going crazy.”

A day has already passed since Joao left, saying he would take responsibility for it himself.

The sounds of soldiers whispering seemed to be coming from beyond the military tent, and Cao Cao hoped that the general would show some movement right away.

‘No way, I have to kill him.’

Cao Cao was skeptical and sent Jo Ang to death.

I sent it out of anger, but I also wanted to test Joao’s abilities.

Break the decision.

Since this is what Joao did, it is right for Joao to solve the problem.

of course… .

“Ugh, what if he dies?”

I was so angry that I sent him away even though I knew it was a place where he could die, but after sending him away, I wanted to run right away and bring him back.

Can’t you just explain to your staff why you couldn’t occupy Wan?

“Anyway, alcohol is the problem. Some people drink and lose their s*x. Ugh.”

Jojo soothed the anger boiling inside him with alcohol.

I couldn’t bear it without drinking.

Joao.

Mr. Chu.

Long live.

Jangje.

“Ugh, my head…!”

“Joo Gong.”

A familiar voice was heard outside the tent.

Jojo quickly put the drink he was drinking under the bed and took a stance.

“Come in.”

“…Have you had a drink?”

“I opened the liquor in advance just in case. If Joao comes back dead… I don’t think I’ll be able to bear it without the power of the liquor.”

Seeing Jojo’s solemn appearance, Jeon Wi glanced around and then inadvertently handed him a bamboo stick.

“Look.”

“Okay, give it to me.”

Jojo examined the contents of the bamboo scroll.

Although there were words that were difficult to read because they were scribbled quickly, Jojo was able to infer them through context.

The contents written inside the bamboo stick… .

“…As expected, it is the golden sun.”

“What does it say?”

“Didn’t you read it inside?”

“yes.”

Jo Jo raised the corners of his mouth at Jeon Wei’s words.

“hehehe. The evaluation of the number of cases I think about is clearly written down. Some of them I like, some I don’t like… but through this, I can judge which of my thoughts are correct.”

Jojo held the bamboo stick tightly in his arms.

“It was a good thing that I met you once that day. Do you know what is written here? It is said that I wrote it not to help Jojo, but with the hope that a young man would not die unjustly.”

Jojo unfolded the contents of the bamboo book and laughed even more bitterly when he saw the last part.

“That’s very accurate. I know very well what I want. I know very well what I almost lost through this.”

“What is it?”

“Honor. Justification. It goes without saying, but if this incident turns out to be fatal, it could have an inexhaustible negative impact on our military.”

Jo Jo, who was reading the bamboo script, suddenly became stiff.

From noble mtl dot com

“…Resolution.”

“yes?”

“It says there is a solution to getting Wan while saving Joao. Yes, it’s very interesting….”

JoJo stroked his chin with his hand and was lost in thought.

“If you look at the situation, it’s not like it’s completely non-existent. Yes, this can be resolved well enough.”

“Joo Gong.”

“why?”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

Jeon Jeon touched his neck as if he was frustrated.

“Please tell me what the solution is.”

“Oh, right. I didn’t tell you. That’s-”

“The Duke of Zhou, an envoy from Jangsu County has arrived.”

The vanguard frowned.

Jojo also looked at his condition and hurriedly adjusted his clothes.

“I will go out and meet you myself.”

Jojo took a big drink of cold water and then went out of the tent.

“Nice to meet you, General Cho.”

“female?”

The moment he saw the woman, Jojo immediately thought, ‘This won’t be easy.’

“I am acting as an advisor to the general. It is called Gafu and Sleeping Culture.”

“…Family culture? That family culture?”

“yes.”

Jojo felt as if the alcohol in his body had disappeared at once.

“Why is the person the Emperor was looking for so much here?”

“The Emperor is looking for me? hahahaha, that’s good news. I’m sure you’ll be doing well, with General Cho taking good care of you….”

Gafu corrected his posture and took something out of his arms.

“This is a letter from General Jangsu. Please take a look.”

Jojo, who accepted the silk, looked at the contents inside and his expression gradually hardened.

“This, this….”

“General Jang wants to resolve all situations ‘in a good way.’ To achieve this, he needs General Cho’s generous generosity. How would you accept it?”

“……Are you sure you have no other intentions?”

“Yes. It is like a Sasang Pavilion, but once it is completed, it will become an unrivaled symbol of faith and trust in the future.”

“Hmm.”

Jeon Wi, who could not see the contents of the letter and did not understand what the two women were saying to each other, was so frustrated that he was on the verge of passing away.

To him, who had dark eyes, the text was just a picture of dancing hard black lines.

“…The marriage between Jo Ang and Mr. Chu is concluded.”

“ah!”

The vanguard let out an exclamation at the words that Cao Cao uttered.

“There is no alliance as solid as a marriage alliance.”

“That’s right. Even though she is a widow, she is a woman who is more devoted than anyone else in serving her husband. Of course, she deeply felt the absence of her father, so she was rude to Confucius….”

“That’s my son’s fault for not being able to take care of his lower class.”

JoJo sighed deeply for a moment and then nodded.

“I can’t do it. I will. Get married. How can I get married while I’m here?”

“That’s a little bit. If the general doesn’t mind, how about having a wedding in Heo Island? I think it will be a ‘good story’ to tell the public if we take some time.”

“Good story?”

“We’ll keep the night’s story to ourselves, and if we decide to get on the same boat, wouldn’t we be able to kiss each other?”

“…….”

Jo Jo turned his head inside the tent.

Inside the tent, which was unable to be completely closed due to the rush to get out, there was a piece of silk lying in a pile.

“Sitting down and looking up at the sky.”

“yes?”

“It’s nothing. I’m just surprised that your suggestion worked out so well for me.”

“I just bring good news.”

JoJo nodded silently.

“What is Joao doing now?”

“hmm….”

Gafu looked around for a moment, then quietly lowered his voice.

“…taking responsibility for his actions.”

“Responsibility? Responsibility for what?”

“The general doesn’t seem to know much about your son’s true talent. Of course, I haven’t experienced it myself, but your son…huhuhu.”

“…….”

JoJo covered his face with his hands.

“…I thought Jo Ang died the moment he touched Mr. Chu. If you count the time, it would have been long enough for the angry general to have surrounded him.”

Gafu just smiled at Jojo’s words.

“But for some reason, the general didn’t lay siege. Thanks to that, I was able to escape the castle gate on horseback with the vanguard. You could have killed me, but why didn’t you kill me?”

“Madam Chu was vehemently opposed. You know the reason… right?”

“Ha, crazy.”

Jojo smiled helplessly and looked up at the sky.

“What the hell….”

Cao Cao sighed for a long time and then turned his gaze to Ga Hu.

“But why did you approach me with this trick? You wouldn’t have to come in person, you could have just sent an envoy.”

“Let’s call it a snow stamp.”

Gahu smiled and pointed in the direction of Heodo.

“Who knows whether General Cho, a powerful figure in the government, will look favorably on this incident and use me carefully in the future?”

“…Wasn’t it the general’s trickster?”

“I am just a person who gives advice to General Jang. I cannot remain a foodie forever, and if the opportunity arises, I just want to take up office again. To that end, I want to prove my worth.”

Gafu pointed west this time.

“General, please do your best to appoint the general as the official governor of Wan. And if you support some of Heo Do’s troops, we will become a shield that blocks Yi Gak and Gwak Sa to the west and Yu Biao to the south.”

“It’s Cheongsanyusuro. Then, family flower, shall I ask you a question?”

JoJo raised a finger.

“I lost something because of this. Guess what?”

“…Trust in Prince Zhao?”

“That was there, but I lost something even bigger. I don’t even know.”

Cao Cao glanced at the silk in the tent and smiled.

“I lost my unmarried son.”

* * *

“Wouldn’t it be such a waste? If Jo Ang and Mr. Chu marry.”

“why?”

“If it were me, I would have formed an alliance by marrying the daughter of a stronger feudal lord. That’s right, the daughter of Yuan Shao or something like that.”

“Master. Then let’s just marry the imperial princess, right?”

“…Oh. I see. They could have been maternal relatives.”

My deepest condolences to Joao.

“You could have held the princess, but you have a widow in your arms.”

Joao kicked away the opportunity to become a member of the imperial family.

I don’t know myself.

“A marriage alliance. I wouldn’t have thought of it if it weren’t for someone else.”

“Oh my, who is it?”

“Who could it be?”

“hehehe….”

A few days later.

There was news that the general had formed an alliance with Cao Cao.
