[The Three Kingdoms] Golden Sun Exhibition - Chapter 190
190 – My own little Shinya (10)
At that time, the base of Giju Elemental Army – ‘Up’.
The staff of Yuan Shao’s army gathered in one place.
Although they seemed to be disapproving as they looked at each other, at least when they saw the state of Yuan Shao sitting at the head table, they did not show it and calmly kept their seats.
“…Tell me about the situation in the Bukpyeong direction.”
Yuan Shao spoke in a fairly sharp voice.
The ruler responded to his words by taking the sword.
“All of Gongsun Zan’s associates in Beiping have been liquidated. The governor of Liaodong, Gongsun Tao, is settled in Yangpyeong, but he is not a person who is friendly to Gongsun Zan. I think we can form a good relationship.”
“It’s the same. Instead, we have to build a relationship. Otherwise, we’ll have to go all the way to Liaodong and fight.”
“Yes. I will follow what the general says. I have already sent people, but I will do my best to ensure good results.”
“hmm.”

Even Jeo Soo said, looking at Won Soo’s eyes differently than usual.
Yuan Shao’s advisors, including Shim Bae, Kwak Do, Jeon Pung, Bong Gi, and Heo Yu, became nervous for no reason as they feared that their turn would come.
“How did the work on Hanae go, Kwak Do?”
“…I’m sorry. Sima, a powerful noble family in Xia Nai County, has joined Cao Cao. I have confirmed that his eldest son and eldest daughter have been appointed to work in Cao Cao County.”
“Oh, then the story will be different.”
Yuan Shao shook his head toward the sign of Hanaegun on the center map.
“Change it to Cao Cao’s territory. Maybe a new governor of Hanae will take office, so that place is now Cao Cao’s territory.”
“What are you going to do? Shall I push Ha-nae away first?”
“No. The Heuksan bandits were recently repelled, and if we send soldiers to Hanae’s army, we might end up in a funny situation. Are you planning to turn this wonwoncho into someone who is not even capable of wreaking havoc?”
“Oh, no.”
The elements were sharper than usual.
That’s right… .
“Yes, I-”
“General!”
“…Shinpyeong? Why you?”
Shinpyeong, a man who hurried into the place where the staff were gathered, reported to Won Soo with a happy face.
“Master Wonsang’s illness is improving! They say he just woke up and ate porridge!”
bang!
Won Soo hit the chair he was sitting on with his fist and stood up.
His face was filled with a bright smile, and the staff quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Really?! Are you saying Sang-i is really okay?!”
“Yes. According to what the congressman said, he will have to continue to receive medical care for a while, but at least one hurdle seems to have been overcome.”
“Ha, that’s good. …Tell Sang-i that I’ll be there soon.”
“My name.”
Shinpyeong resigned from his position.
Won Soo, now a little more cheerful, smiled and looked at Kwak Do.
“Okay. Kwak Do, what should we do with Hanae now?”
“…If you leave it alone, it will continue to irritate you, but mobilizing the Black Bandits is not a good idea. If you clumsily mobilize the Black Bandits, you will have a justification for stationing Cao Cao’s army more because you need to strengthen your defenses.”
“I see. Then…Ignore Lord Xia for the time being. However, I will have to deal very heavily with Mr. Sima, who is an arrogant person from Sa Yeju and chose Cao Cao over this Yuan Shao.”
Yuan Shao pointed to a place close to Ha Nae.
“Set up a camp here. And in case of emergency, we will draw up a plan so that a large army can be stationed at this camp and then advance straight toward Hanae and occupy it. This is…an uprising! You will take charge of it.”
“…I understand, Duke.”
Bonggi glanced at Kwak Do, who was shaking his head and shaking his head, then nodded.
As the Heuksanjeok were destroyed by Cao Cao’s army in an absurd way, Kwak Do’s prestige among the staff was weakened.
“Go to the plains, Kwak Do. Raise soldiers there.”
“Are you telling me to go to the plains myself?”
“Yes. Gather as many elite soldiers as possible there. You should be able to target Xuzhou if possible from the North Sea direction. Do you understand?”
“My name.”
Kwak Do quietly retreated, still with his head down.
It was an opportunity to express his opinion as a staff member, but since Yuan Shao had already made a decision, all he had to do was follow Yuan Shao’s orders.
Won Soo changed the person in charge of affairs in the Hanae-gun area from Gwakdo to Bonggi.
Won Soo’s intention not to entrust the same task to someone who had failed once was to not shine light on those who failed.
Failure is not tolerated.
Therefore, attention was focused on the person carrying out the operation with the highest probability of failure.
“Jeonpung. What happened to Heodo?”
“It’s going well. Currently, many people, including Dongseung, have agreed to the plan. Even the governor of Seoryang, Ma Deung, who was the first to send the message.”
“Hoo.”
horseback.
He was located to the west of Xiliang, Dong Zhuo’s former stronghold, and after Dong Zhuo’s fall, he took over that land and became a true leader.
You have to travel quite a long way to get to the central plain, but the fact that someone so far away supported the operation was encouraging news in itself.
“The feudal lords will gather again to punish the traitor Cao Cao.”
“okay!”
Yuan Shao smiled brightly and shouted.
“What is a woman who captures the emperor, controls the affairs of the government, and runs wild as she pleases? A traitor! Just as there is a saying that when a female cries, the family will fall, it is a shame for a nation that someone like Cao Cao becomes a minister. Now, As a minister, he gives official positions to his people and handles the government freely. How could this be anything but a traitor?”
It can be said that the emperor delegated full authority to Cao Cao, but of course, Yuan Shao’s perspective was different.
Jo Jo was tyrannical, demoting officials who did not suit his tastes and recruiting people with musical backgrounds, including Mr. Jo and Ha-hu.
That is tyranny.
That is why Cao Cao is a traitor.
“Then Jeon Feng, what happened to him?”
“If he grows up.”
“Yubi.”
Won Soo spoke as if he was displeased.
“I don’t like him, but he’s a very good man to stand against Cao Cao. He’s also Hwang Suk. Huh? What do you think?”
The staff felt puzzled.
Yuan Shao’s words and facial expressions seemed to show that he was not very interested in Liu Bei, but it seemed as if Yuan Shao wanted Liu Bei intensely.
“How did you appease Liu Bei?”
* * *
“I refuse.”
“Hyeondeok, are you serious?!”
“Yes. I really don’t know Dongguk-gu’s intentions.”
Yuvi held out the paper in front of him.
“It is a teaching paper written by the Emperor in his blood!”
“I don’t believe you. If you say so, please let me meet your majesty in person.”
“Well, that’s…! Cao Cao’s eyes are all over the palace, how can you do that so carelessly?”
“It’s been a month since you said that.”
Liu Bei calmly shook his head.
“Is Duke Cao Cao really being tyrannical? Who is paying the salaries of the civil and military officials, and who is bringing the grain for the people in the palace to eat?”
“The people of the world!”
“The person who brought it is Cao Cao. If Cao Cao had insulted His Majesty the Emperor or tried to usurp the throne, even if His Majesty the Emperor had called me aside and said just one word, I would have immediately followed this blood oath. What should I do with Cao Cao?”
“That’s what this secret letter is!”
“…I’m a little sick of secret letters.”
Dongseung pounded his chest at Liu Bei’s firmness.
“I heard you, Hwang Sook, have to come forward! How long are you going to keep your eyes open to Cao Cao’s atrocities!”
“It’s brutality and tyranny. Well, there are definitely people who are trying to cut off people who aren’t theirs.”
Liu Bei silently shook his head.
“I do not support Cao Cao, but rather I fear him, but that does not mean I can participate in plotting a traitor through fabricated propaganda.”
“It’s manipulation! That’s absurd!”
“In that case, I will meet Your Majesty in person and ask you!”
“That’s not possible! The servants next to Your Majesty are also Cao Cao’s people!”
“In that case, please prepare a place for me to meet privately.”
“Well, that’s not possible!”
“What on earth are we going to do?”
Liu Bei glared at Dongseung with cold, sunken eyes.
“Now that Lu Bu, who was like a thorn in his eye, has been removed, isn’t he trying to dominate the government by eliminating Cao Cao and bringing in Yuan Shao? In my eyes, there doesn’t seem to be any traitor.”
“Be careful what you say! You have been welcomed by Cao Cao, so you have become one of Cao Cao’s people!”
“…That can’t be right. I am a subject of a country and Hwang Suk. I only think of one country and Your Majesty. What I felt while staying in Heo Island is.”
Liu Bei widened his distance from his companion.
“I think Cao Cao will be of greater help to Your Majesty and the people of the world today than Donggu.”
“Hey, this guy…!!”
“I’m sorry, but I have to prepare for deployment now.”
“Send troops…?”
“Yes. As General Left to defeat the traitor Yuan Shu, I have to lead 50,000 soldiers tomorrow.”
“Oh man…!!”
“If that push is really true, and you want the 50,000-man army to defeat Yuan Shu and point the sword at Cao Cao, then please let me meet with you separately from your majesty. Is that okay?”
“…….”
Dongseung couldn’t say anything.
“Still, considering that Dong Guogu cares about me, I won’t tell Duke Cao Cao right away. If I reveal this now, the army that is supposed to subdue Yuan Shu will be tied up in He Island. … I’ll see you when I get back.”
“…You will regret siding with Cao Cao.”
“I’m not on anyone’s side.”
Liu Bei turned his horse’s head towards the south.
“I am only on the side of those who make the people live well.”
* * *
“Unfortunately, we were unable to include Liu Bei.”
“Huh. Why?”
“Cao Cao was also trying to recruit Liu Bei. He placed Liu Bei’s house close to Cao Cao’s own house, and allowed the two brothers and Liu Bei’s family members to meet people and become close friends.”
“hmm….”
Yuan Shao asked, stroking his beard.
“If Cao Cao gives Liu Bei the position of Lord of the Zhou, will Liu Bei follow Cao Cao or betray him? Raise your hand. If Liu Bei follows Cao Cao, use your right hand. If Liu Bei betrays you, use your left hand.”
All staff members raised their hands.
It was split exactly in half.
“Yu Fei is an unpredictable being. You cannot tell whether he is truly good, a hypocrite, or both.”
“I see… But one thing is certain. He tries harder to survive than anyone else.”
Yuan Shao smiled wryly and took out a piece of paper.
Then he took out the jar he had prepared in advance.
“Oof.”
The staff frowned at the dizzying scent of blood.
It wasn’t the same thing as real human blood, it was human blood.
“Please write your name in your own blood on His Majesty’s secret letter. The names left in this letter will later become the names of the top contributors who defeated the traitor Cao Cao.”
Yuan Shao scribbled something at length and then unfolded the paper.
The words ‘Hwangsuk and Yu Hyeon-deok’ were written in blood there.
“No matter who Liu Bei follows, antagonism with Cao Cao is the best outcome for us. If this happens, Cao Cao will try to cut Liu Bei down immediately. hehehe.”
“Zhu Gong, what if they notice? Cao Cao and Liu Bei’s relationship will become even stronger.”
“Ha, Heo Yu. What kind of nonsense is this?”
Yuan Shao twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed at He Yu.

“Is there a case where a plan is made with the thought of being caught by the world?”
“…….”
Heo Yu was openly criticized, but no one took his side.
“If you had planned on getting caught in the first place, you wouldn’t have forged the fact that Yoo Hyeon-deok participated in the plot to assassinate Jo Jo. Tsk.”
