Episode 302. Counterattack (5)

News of the fierce battles taking place all over the Yangtze River flew into the main hall of the Zhuge family every day.

Except for the western part of Sacheon, most of the news was about victory.

“Eventually, Danggata joined the war. It is said that he is currently moving east with the Cheonryungchae of the Sacheon region.”

Zhuge Changyun nods his head at Mu-gwang’s report.

“How much did you say it was?”

“The exact number is unknown, but it is said to be around one hundred.”

“One hundred?”

Zhuge Changyun’s eyebrows furrow.

Just… … .

It was unexpected.

It may be seen as a considerable number, but isn’t it woefully inadequate for a family to lead in war?

“I heard that the head of the Tangata family is with you?”

“There has been no report on him yet.”

“hmm…….”

When Zhuge Changyun frowned and thought about it, Cheon Gwang said with a sneer.

“Don’t worry too much, he was just a worthless insect that puffed up to avoid being eaten by birds.”

“That’s right. One hundred… … Isn’t Sacheon really ridiculous? To create an alliance by swaying a mere man like that, and to treat him like he’s the family that represents Sacheon.”

When Cheon Gwang followed suit and said this with a mocking laugh, Jegal Chang Yun shook his head.

“Cheon-Gwang, Mu-Gwang. It is not good to underestimate the enemy. He is someone acknowledged by the Seo-Ak of ​​Sacheon, and someone that the Sword Emperor mentioned to be included in the ranks of the Five Great Martial Arts. Although they are old tigers, their sharp claws have not dulled and their teeth are still strong.”

“I’m sorry. I made a slip of the tongue.”

“Be careful.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Zhuge Changyun, who had been scolded once, looked at the map spread out on the table with narrowed eyes. It was a map showing the battle situation.

It was true that the tide was turning in their favor.

Dangkata’s participation was also expected.

Although the Dongjeongho branch raised the white flag, a fight broke out during the process of sending Gunsanchae to the war, and there were injuries.

As the head of a clan, if my family is harmed and I don’t step forward, people will think that I am being oppressed by their power and that I am being treated unfairly.

Furthermore, if the enemy loses the interests of the Yangtze River in Hubei Province to Zhuge Shi, Tanggatu will suffer enormous losses.

Wasn’t it the Sacheon Alliance that was achieved through him?

If this war ended well, the alliance would split and the Tangata would return to being a rural sect.

Honey, you have to risk your life.

“What are the conditions in the West?”

“It’s not a matter of concern yet. The two waters, Cheonryong and Baekya, allied with Dangata, are pushing forward on the eastern front. It’s like a small fire, but it’s within the expected range.”

Zhuge Changyun, who was thinking while rubbing his chin at Mu-gwang’s words, asked.

“Is Museong waiting at the Swordsman?”

“Yes. We are preparing together with the three hundred unmanned personnel of the main house in case of an emergency.”

Zhuge Liang.

He was the eldest son of the Zhuge family and, as the head of the small family, led the Milky Way Corps, the most powerful military force of the Zhuge family.

The purpose of preparing him was to prepare for when General Nam Gwang-ro escaped from Dongjeongho.

“Tell Museong to move to the western gate immediately and put out the fire that broke out in the west.”

“Soju? But… … .”

“I know. Your Majesty must be worried. However, I have also deployed forces to Hongho to prepare for him. I have also received a definite answer from Hwang Jong-gil, the General of the Jang River.”

“hmm…….”

Zhuge Changyun had already completed all preparations before attacking Dongting Lake.

Hwang Jong-gil, the general manager of the Jang Gangsu River.

He obediently complied with the request of the Zhuge family, which was like a threat.

Sanggun Namgwang-ro was abandoned.

Of course, the compensation promised to him after the war played a part, but there was another decisive reason.

This is because the person who posed the greatest threat to Sochaeju, the son born late, from succeeding to the position of the chief minister was none other than Nam Gwang-ro, the chief minister of Gunsan.

Not only did he receive respect from his enemies and enemies, but after signing the contract with Danggata, even Gunsanchae’s finances were enriched.

Naturally, his subordinates had no choice but to follow him… … .

Even though he hasn’t taken office, isn’t it already the case that Nam Gwang-ro is no different from the total debtor?

The worries probably didn’t take long.

“Idiot.”

Zhuge Changyun raised the corners of his mouth as he thought of Hwang Jong-gil, who had driven out his loyal subordinate.

He is truly a worthless man.

They have no idea that the power that has supported the Yangtze River up until now came from Nam Gwang-ro.

If we remove the sturdy fence for the sake of immediate profit, what will become of the Yangtze River?

There is no such thing as succession to the position of a sochaeju.

If the Shang army collapses, the current Yangtze River will lose its center.

Naturally, it will disintegrate, and the Yangtze River’s pirates will become nothing more than thieves who can no longer threaten those passing by.

“Ahem!”

Zhuge Changyun shook off his thoughts and returned to his men with a serious expression.

“Everyone, listen up.”

“… … .”

“The eyes and ears of the Central Plains are focused on this war. The main family has mobilized all its forces to seize the entire Yangtze River basin that flows through Hubei Province. How can we afford to fight back and forth?”

At Zhuge Changyun’s words, Cheon Gwang and Mu Gwang, as well as the vassals who had not gone to battle but had accompanied Dae Jangak, all nodded their heads.

“It has to be a complete victory.”

“… … .”

“Also, we will advance to Sacheon as soon as this fight is over.”

It was a planned procedure.

Zhuge Changyun had already sent a letter to the two schools of Sacheon, Heukcheon and Jiulong.

I heard you formed an alliance, but please don’t get involved in this fight.

If you do that, you will get more than what Danggata gave you.

Since they have already destroyed the Yangtze River, isn’t the Yangtze River no different from theirs?

It also contained threats.

If you still want to protect Danggatha, the Five Great Muga and the Four Heavenly Sects will have no choice but to fight you.

Zhuge Changyun looks at the table.

It was a letter sent by the other families, excluding the Namgung family, expressing their intention to join the Jegal family.

“There will be no rest until the Yangtze River is destroyed, and the Tanggata are destroyed. Give the order to all remaining forces in each branch to march to the Yangtze River! Keep in mind that this war will be the stepping stone for the Zhuge family to advance to the world, and push forward with all your might! Do you understand?”

“yes!”

The meeting was coming to an end like that.

At that moment, Zhuge Changyun got up from his seat and everyone was returning to their seats.

“Urgent news! Urgent news!”

“… … ?”

The messenger’s voice heard from outside stopped everyone in their tracks.

The messenger who ran inside hands the letter he was holding to Mu-gwang with a pale expression.

At that moment, a strange light flashed across Zhuge Changyun’s eyes.

Letter, urgent report.

Those two alone are enough to make me nervous… …and there’s even blood on the scroll.

Because it was sent from somewhere.

But, as he was reading the book, Moo-kwang’s eyes widened as if they were going to tear apart.

“What, what is this?”

Mu-Gwang’s hand holding the scroll trembles slightly.

“Mugwang, what’s going on?”

Mu-gwang looks at Jegal Chang-un with surprised eyes and stammers as he asks questions out of curiosity.

“Look, the reinforcement branch has collapsed.”

“… … What?”

Not only Zhuge Changyun, but also the vassals gathered inside the palace were unable to hide their surprise.

Suddenly a reinforcement branch?

It is located only about two hundred li west of Yongzhongshan Mountain, where the ancestral home of the Zhuge family is located.

It is different from the Heungsan branch that suffered a disaster before.

Bogang is located far inland from the Yangtze River and has Mt. Wudang above it, so it is difficult to see it as having been invaded from another place.

But that place is collapsing?

“What are you talking about? Why is the reinforcement collapsing? Bring me the letter!”

When Zhuge Changyun shouted, Wu Guang hurriedly ran over and handed over the letter he was holding.

The reinforcement branch was completely destroyed… … The beast… … .

That was all there was to it.

The rest of the text was unreadable due to the blood stains.

All that could be read was that they had been annihilated.

“This, this… … .”

Zhuge Changyun, whose strength had completely drained away, collapsed on the chair he had been standing on.

The city of Daejeon is enveloped in a cold silence.

Even Zhuge Changyun, who always calmly assessed the situation, had a hard time calming down this time.

The reinforcement branch was completely destroyed… … Who on earth is this?

At that moment, a thought suddenly crossed his mind, and Zhuge Changyun opened his eyes wide and sat up, looking at the table.

The front of the Yangtze River.

The first defeat in the West.

The destruction of the Heungsan branch.

And reinforcement… … .

“Sir, really?”

West waterway, Heungsan, and Bogang.

And on the extension of the straight line that leads to One, there was Mt. Yongjungsan.

At first, I thought that the villain who destroyed the Heungsan branch was obviously a traitor.

But isn’t the movement towards Yongzhongshan, despite being numerical?

As if they had been targeting Zhuge Liang from the beginning… … .

“Matte.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The surprised Mu-Gwang still hadn’t come to his senses and answered with a confused face.

“Dangga-taga… …was one hundred and one-hundred unmanned?”

“Yes. According to the reports… … Huh! No way? They?”

“Damn, I see. I told you there were too few of them, but you’re planning something like this.”

Zhuge Changyun’s eyebrows furrowed.

It was a shock, as if I had been hit in the back of the head unexpectedly.

“Danggaju, it seems this guy has formed a special force and is attacking the branch office with Yongjungsan as the target.”

“… … .”

“That damned bastard. He knew we had put all our forces into the Yangtze River front, so he deliberately targeted the rear.”

“What should we do? We have no idea how big they are.”

“hmm…….”

The furrow between the eyebrows becomes deeper.

“How much power is available?”

“That is… … .”

Moo-kwang calculated hastily and answered.

“The five main unmanned units of the main family have all been deployed to the Yangtze River. There are only about two hundred unmanned units left to protect the family, including the head of the household’s guards and the guards.”

“Two hundred, two hundred… … .”

After hearing Mu-Gwang’s words, Jegal Chang-Yun gritted his teeth and gripped the arms of his chair.

Thud thud.

As if the painting had been completely conveyed, the handprint was deeply engraved.

The Danggata Special Forces will not have many members.

If the majority had moved, the rumor would have been spread straight to the Zhuge family.

It’s definitely a small number.

And they would have moved so secretly that they wouldn’t be noticed by people.

It’s a good plan.

It’s an extremely risky method, but if a small detachment captures the leader, the war will end in an instant.

But now that we’ve figured out his plan, we just have to stop him.

However, the problem is that it is fast.

It hasn’t been long since Heungsan collapsed, but if Bogwa has already collapsed… … .

“He must have already come close to his parents’ house.”

“Your Majesty, it would be a good idea to call the unmanned personnel from the nearby branches to the main house right now.”

“… … .”

“How about we first activate all the formations to protect the main house, and have the branch’s warriors attack the rear?”

“hmm…….”

Zhuge Changyun nods his head at Mu-gwang’s suggestion.

There is no other way.

First of all, as he said… … .

“Urgent news! Gunsanchae has left Dongjeongho!”

“… … .”

The great hall of the Zhuge family froze even more at the shouts of the messenger who arrived later.

Gunsanchae… … .

Thud thud.

Zhuge Changyun’s hand ended up shattered the armrest into pieces.

As if on cue, the situation turned for the worse in an instant.

The messengers who came running after them all reported news of defeat.

The western front was collapsing.

It was said that the Danggata warriors who had allied with the enemy were armed with all kinds of weapons that I had never seen before and that they did not hesitate to use dark weapons, poison, and even firebombs.

It’s a dirty thing.

If you use poison or firebombs, you will be condemned by the entire martial arts world.

But that would be if Zhuge Liang had won.

What can a loser say?

“No matte!”

“yes!”

“Send the branch to the Yangtze River! Send a message to the unmanned personnel waiting in Hongho and tell them to stop the Shang army! We must never let him join up with the other bandits!”

“All right.”

“Cheon Gwang! Immediately, activate all formations defending the main house and prepare for battle! Quickly! The main house must never fall!”

“yes!”

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the Zhuge family began to become tense.

And the entrance to Yongzhong Mountain.

The man, covered in blood, looked at the main gate of Cheonyeong’s house and smiled coldly.

“… … The view is nice.”
