[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition

70 – There are too many thieves in the world (7)

Two thousand militiamen gathered. No, I wonder how two thousand people could come together at once, but it happened due to a combination of various circumstances.

First, the Jingju defenders did not run away.

Second, a relief force is coming immediately from Yangyang.

Third, 30% of them are under the influence of the Chae family.

Fourth, 30% of these people have lived in this area for a long time.

Fifth, most of the rest of them are people who fled from Western Zhou and settled in my land and the land of the Chae family.

And one final ultimate reason.

Although the bandits who appeared in the northern part of Jingju are quiet, they are gradually coming down.

“The enemy is targeting Shinya Castle here.”

Sugyeong Academy became a temporary command center.

Wen Bing gathered the flags labeled ‘Zhang (張)’ on the map around Xinya in the north and began lowering them down.

“The number of enemy troops is about 5,000. Most of them are infantry, and they appear to be a mix of archers and cavalry.”

“What is the exact number?”

“Five hundred cavalry. The rest all appear to be infantry. I haven’t figured out how many archers are inside.”

It’s not that I’m incompetent.

Knowing that there were about 500 cavalrymen was sufficiently capable.

The scouts survived the cavalry’s chase and relayed information.

“Five hundred cavalry.”

“If they are the enemy, and if Dong Zhuo’s subordinate, Zhang Jie, is the enemy, then they are the infamous Xiliang cavalry.”

Xiliang cavalry.

Although I have not seen their power in person, I am well aware of its strength.

Wasn’t the power of Dong Zhuo’s occupation of Luoyang also the power of the Xiliang cavalry?

Five hundred cavalry means that they will pursue and kill tens or hundreds of people at the same time as they scout.

The fact that the rest are infantry probably means that they will move with the looted goods.

“Two thousand militia, five hundred infantry. There’s no way we can win if we just stick together.”

“Sure. If you just stick with it.”

Wen Bing and my gaze naturally turned to Sima Yi.

“Jungdal, give your opinion.”

“Yes, Sun Ball.”

Sima Yi stepped forward and pointed at the map.

“The enemy is moving very slowly from north to south. Looting is plunder, but their main goal is to take land.”

“Are you saying it is to take away the execution pillar?”

“Yes. In the past, Yangyang Castle was almost captured by Sun Jian’s vanguard sent by Yuan Shu. General, Yu Gyeong-seung, how much attention are you paying to armaments?”

“…The answer would be that the number of troops defending northern Jingju is around 500.”

One of Yu Pyo’s problems is that he does not increase his troops even after being treated harshly by Sun Jian.

“Probably, if you add up all the soldiers in Jingzhou, it would be around 30,000.”

“This is only one in Yangyang, and the rest of the soldiers are all spread out in the port.”

Yu Biao expanded his military budget after Sun Jian’s incident.

Increased military capacity, recruited soldiers, and trained them.

Compared to other warlords, they almost did not do anything, but compared to the time when they were completely robbed by Sun Jian’s vanguard, Samcheon, their numbers increased a lot.

‘It’s because only Yangyang has increased.’

However, the element he was most concerned about was ‘protection of Yangyangseong’.

When an external enemy invades like this time, if the enemy can respond, reinforcements will be sent from Yangyangseong Fortress, and if the enemy cannot respond, the gates of Yangyangseong Fortress will be locked.

Naturally, the people outside Yangyang were bound to suffer great damage.

This is an issue related to Yupyo’s tendencies, but now is not the time to discuss that.

Even if you blame Yoo Pyo, 10,000 soldiers don’t suddenly appear.

‘Once this incident is over, I’ll have to tell Yu Gyeong-seung to increase the number of soldiers.’

Even if we increase the number of soldiers in northern Jingzhou, what kind of rebellion will occur?

Even if we increase the number of soldiers in the southern part of Jingju, would people like Jo Mo or Han Hyeon in the four counties of Hyeongnam revolt?

…I heard there was some possibility in the southern part, but the governor still had to pay attention to the outskirts of the territory he was protecting.

We must do our best with the troops we have.

While I was lost in thought, Sima Yi began to ‘command’ Wen Bing and his lieutenants quite skillfully.

“We must use the soldiers we have to repel the enemy. Our military’s top goal is to annihilate all the enemies without shedding as much blood as possible.”

At Sima Yi’s words, the lieutenants twitched the corners of their mouths and began to laugh at Sima Yi.

If you do what you say, you won’t be able to win any war?

“The strength we have is our familiarity with the terrain. Other than that, there is nothing else. We are outnumbered, the number of well-trained soldiers is small, and if we actually engage in battle, it is obvious that the line will be broken by the Xiliang cavalry.”

“Then what do you mean to do?”

“We will utilize the terrain.”

Yes, as long as it is as said.

“It’s winter. All we have to do is show them what thin ice is.”

“Are you trying to throw me into the ice?”

“Yes. Right here.”

Sima Yi pointed to the place between land and land, where the river flows.

“Bait. Attraction. Weight. Collapse.”

“Let’s do handwork?”

“Yes. Since they really want to go to Yangyang, we are sending them along this river to the Yangtze River.”

If I succeed, I will kill everyone.

If they fail, they will all be exterminated, regardless of whether they are manned or not.

“The enemy will not be able to cross the riverbank.”

“…Is this really your suggestion? It’s not Teacher Geumtaeyang’s plan?”

“General. I am weak in strategy and tactics. I can give advice and suggestions to Zhongda’s plans, but I do not have the ability to come up with something like this.”

If Sima Yi weaves the frame of the entire board, then I am the one who weaves the spaces between the frames tightly.

“But as Zhong Dal’s master, I will take responsibility if Zhong Dal’s plan fails.”

“why?”

“I am the one who recommended Zhongda, and Zhongda’s failure is my failure. Looking at Jingzhou as a whole, the northern part of Jingzhou was plundered and thousands of civilians were massacred, but the volunteer army who trusted me and raised their bamboo spears committed an irreparable crime. Because it is.”

Sima Yi committed the grave crime of failing in his plan.

And I am guilty of leading people to the underworld according to Sima Yi’s plan.

“General Moon. This is an operation that will only work if you actively cooperate.”

“What will you do if I refuse to do this?”

“Sugyeong Academy’s volunteer army will make plans as a volunteer army.”

Not only the lieutenants but even Wen Bing frowned at Sima Yi’s words.

If the government and military do not cooperate, the volunteer army will take care of the problem.

Even though someone could give that impression and actually interpreted it that way, Sima Yi remained calm.

-There is no way my answer was wrong.

Sima Yi said so, and I also think so.

“General, can you risk your life for us?”

“……hehehe. Teacher Geumtaeyang.”

Moon Bing grabbed the knife.

“A soldier is someone who exists to protect the people. Okay, let’s do something. Even if I die, you and the people must escape alive. And… please take good care of my son.”

From noble mtl dot com

“General!”

“Of course, that won’t happen, right? Lord Sima?”

“of course.”

According to Sima Yi’s suggestion, the volunteer army that I recruited, Li Cheon, was converted to engineers.

and.

“Then Yuin-”

“General.”

The most dangerous role in this job.

“I will lure the enemy.”

How could they let Sima Yi take on such a dangerous task?

* * *

“General. This is an urgent report. The defenders of Jingju have arrived within a stone’s throw.”

“Huh.”

Emperor Chiang snorted when he saw the flag fluttering in the distance.

“Can you call that a defense force? Rather, call it a reconnaissance force.”

The corners of the lieutenants’ mouths went up at Emperor Zhang’s mockery.

“I think their number is only three hundred or so. They all came out carrying swords, and they couldn’t even wear breastplates properly, let alone their entire bodies. If you take people who were farming somewhere and make them hold only a sword, would that be a defense force?”

“Couldn’t we call it a defense force in the sense that it protects the land?”

“I see. When everyone dies, you’ll realize that it meant nothing.”

Emperor Zhang raised his hand.

“I’d like you to tell them how dangerous the turbulent times are. Dol-”

“General, over there.”

Jerk, jerk.

One word came forward.

The man in official uniform had a very sharp look.

However, what is clear is that he could not be said to be like a ‘general’.

“hahahaha, Hyeongju is really peaceful. A man who looks like a student is leading the defense army.”

“It may not be the defense force. Couldn’t it be that they made their disciples hold swords and came out?”

“Is that so? hahahaha.”

Emperor Zhang personally rode his horse forward.

“Who are you?”

“Shut up, you dirty scum!”

I started hearing curses over and over again.

Emperor Jang doubted his ears as to whether he had heard correctly.

“What are you saying to me?”

“Dirty bastards who want to take what belongs to others! Did your mother teach you that?”

“…That guy.”

Any saintly gentleman would not be able to bear it if his parents were touched.

However, such swearing was commonplace in the market.

Emperor Zhang smiled leisurely and drew his sword.

“If you run away quietly, I will spare your life.”

“Oh, what a shame! Your mother would have been happy to have you as her sons, but you grew up to be thieves who steal other people’s grain!”

“Stop speaking.”

“If I had known my child would grow up to be like that, I would have abandoned him!”

The man continued to curse as if he was truly disillusioned.

“Those who are uneducated show off that they are uneducated. You guys are truly helpless! Don’t even think about learning anything! If you find out anyway, you’ll just end up doing trash!”

“Maybe it’s because I’m a student, so my swearing is very straightforward. I’ll tell you what swearing is.”

Emperor Zhang laughed and shouted.

“Yes! Who taught you that you swear before you even say hello to others? Bring your parents! I will hold your parents responsible for not teaching you properly!”

“My parents are dead!”

“Then tell me at least the grave! hahahahaha! I will go there myself, open the coffin lid, and ask how you are!”

The man seemed genuinely moved by Jang Ze’s words.

Emperor Jiang laughed and laughed at the red-faced man.

“hahahaha! As expected, you-“

“As expected, they are trash who lived off Dong-tak’s poop!”

Emperor Zhang immediately grabbed the reins.

“what…?”

“Why are you talking so carelessly about the leftovers that Dongtak ate or the scraps that he scraped up?”

“You bastard! What nonsense are you talking about!!”

“Shut up, you maggots!! Those guys who were licking Dong-tak’s ass are talking a lot!”

The young man in question twitched the corner of his mouth.

“Ah, I understand! Your parents lived by cleaning up after Dong-tak and then passed that skill on to you! Oh, what a pity! They could have passed on the family business of cleaning up after Dong-tak to their children!”

“Catch that bastard!!”

hehehehe!!

“I will cut off that bastard’s tongue and pray in the funeral home!”

The Xiliang cavalry and soldiers began to run forward all at once.
