Episode 154. Zhuge Liang (2)

Zhuge Jin and Gan Ning’s journey to Longzhong went more smoothly than expected.

This was due to Gan Ning’s great contribution.

Gan Ning, who was well-versed in counter-terrorism and once served in Liu Biao’s army, treated Liu Biao’s army like a child and continued to advance north.

Gan Ning’s wit and friendliness were equally great.

“Hahaha, this is your first time seeing our top? Of course not. I don’t know if you know, but it’s already been rumored that just going back and forth between Gangneungseong and Yangyangseong is quite profitable. That’s why we’re making a big move this time….”

Gan Ning’s hands move like rays of light as he speaks.

And the soldier shook the pouch that had suddenly appeared underwater and smiled contentedly.

“Hehehe, is that so? I see. Pass!”

Zhuge Jin, who had gone through the above procedure several times, sighed in disbelief.

“Ugh… No matter what, it’s like this. Even though they’re enemy soldiers, their discipline is so lax….”

If it was Sun Zhaojun, he wouldn’t have been this lax. From Zhuge Jin’s perspective, it was fortunate that Sun Zhaojun’s discipline was rectified.

The bitter words that Zhuge Jin blurted out without realizing it.

Gan Ning said with a bitter smile.

“What can we do? The Southern Army’s wealth is held tightly by the Southern Army’s powerful clans. They are busy taking care of their own soldiers, and the soldiers of Yangyang are out of the question. So those soldiers are making pocket money in this way.”

When Gan Ning explained the internal situation of Liu Biao’s army in detail, Zhuge Jin sighed deeply.

In recent years, the power of the local chieftains had been greatly reduced due to Sun Ce’s policy of suppressing the local chieftains. It would be strange not to have resisted.

But looking at the current situation in Hyeongju, it felt like looking back at the past when the Yangju aristocrats were in power.

‘They say the rise of the Hyungju aristocrats is amazing… They had this much influence on Hyungju.’

After a while, Gan Ning spoke with a sneer on his lips.

“Well, from the perspective of our forces, isn’t it better if the enemy’s morale worsens?”

Then Zhuge Jin nodded his head silently.

“…That is correct.”

Gan Ning glanced at Zhuge Jin, who was lost in thought, and changed the subject.

“Now, wake up. Yongjung will be here soon.”

It was two days away to Yongzhongshan.

***

At the foot of Mt. Yongzhong.

A group of monks appear in the spacious Yongjungsan Mountain.

The people near Yongzhongshan looked at them with suspicion at the sudden appearance of the upper class.

But no matter how much I was cautious, I couldn’t go against the grace before my eyes.

At first, the farmer was suspicious of the upper part, but once he had the silver in his hand, he began to answer questions without hesitation, even those that were not asked.

“Oh, are you looking for Master Waryong? Master Waryong lives on the slope of Mt. Yongzhong over there.

He, he’s a good person, but the woman he’s talking about is a bit ugly… Her face is as dirty as mud…

Oh, don’t tell them I said that. I don’t know why, but I heard that Master Waryong and I are quite close? … But why are you looking for Master Waryong? Are you trying to harm him?”

Then Zhuge Jin said with a gentle smile.

“I have brought a letter from Master Waryong’s older brother. So I would like to deliver the letter to you.”

Even though he received a favor, the farmer was also suspicious of the sudden appearance of the boss.

But when Zhuge Jin kindly explained his business, the farmer finally felt relieved.

“Oh, that’s great! I heard you’ve been separated from your brother for a long time since you were young! Come on, come on, go up!”

The group of Zhuge Jin and Gan Ning who came up together with the top.

After climbing Mt. Yongzhong for a while, they encountered a couple coming down.

The tall man had his face covered with a bamboo hat, and the woman was wrapped in clothing.

And it looked quite affectionate as they came down while chatting with each other.

Meanwhile, Gan Ning, who had witnessed the couple, approached them and asked them.

“Excuse me, can I ask for directions? Where is Mr. Waryong’s house?”

Then the tall man spoke in a voice as refreshing as a midsummer breeze.

“…Are you looking for Mr. Waryong? His house is just a few steps up there.

However, I am not sure if the teacher will be at home. He is the type of person who moves with the wind and clouds… .”

The man’s cool voice is more pleasant to listen to than you might think.

Zhuge Jin showed a rare expression of suspicion, and Gan Ning nodded in admiration without realizing it.

“I see….”

“Then I will be going now. I hope you find Master Waryong safely!”

The moment the man grabbed his wife and was about to leave, a thought flashed through Gan Ning’s mind.

―A young man with an extraordinary voice and a woman wrapped so tightly in clothes that her skin was visible.

―More than anything, the complex expression on Zhuge Jin’s face looks suspicious.

At that moment, Gan Ning, whose senses were sharpened, spoke in a confident tone.

“Are you by any chance Mr. Waryong?”

The tall man wearing the hat was silent for a moment, then laughed heartily and said.

“Hahaha, how could this mere country bumpkin be the pride of Yangyang, Mr. Waryong?

“Now, look at my hands. These hands are the hands of a farmer. How can they be the hands of a scholar? I have heard all sorts of things in my life. Anyway… .”

But as the tall man continued to make excuses, Gan Ning’s confidence grew stronger.

But when the people in the audience quietly surrounded him instead of chiming in, the tall man sighed.

“…Who sent it?”

Meanwhile, Zhuge Jin made a complicated face upon hearing the man in the hat’s voice.

He pushed his way through the crowd with a determined look on his face and spoke calmly.

“…It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Gongmyeong.”

The man who had been looking at Zhuge Jin with sharp eyes under the hat finally let out a clear sigh.

“It’s been a while…. Brother.”

***

Mid-slope of Yongzhong Mountain.

An old thatched house.

Zhuge Liang took off his hat and brought Gan Ning and Zhuge Jin into his thatched hut.

And then Zhuge Liang, sitting down, started to speak.

“…I heard that you have risen greatly under the command of Son Hyeong-ju. Congratulations.”

Zhuge Jin, who was looking at Zhuge Liang with complicated eyes, opened his mouth.

“Thank you for the congratulations, but… I’m still far from being able to call it success.”

Then Zhuge Liang said with cold eyes.

“…Then, are you saying that you want to sell this younger brother because you have not achieved enough success so far?”

“…How can you say that I am selling you out? …I was just a subject who could not refuse my lord’s orders.”

“As an older brother, you should lead your younger brother to the right path. Countless scriptures from the past testify to this. So why are you leading your younger brother to the wrong path?”

Zhuge Jin let out a sigh at Zhuge Liang’s determined gaze.

If my younger brother had wanted to become successful, he would have enlisted in Sun Zhao long ago and received Zhuge Jin’s recommendation. But he didn’t.

What does that mean? I had guessed early on that Sonso and Gil were different.

‘I expected it, but who would have thought it would be this resolute?’

Meanwhile, Gan Ning, who had been quietly listening, had become increasingly fierce. No matter how scared he was, Sun Zhao was Gan Ning’s master.

Gan Ning was displeased that his lord Sun Zhao was being referred to as a wicked man.

“Why do you look down on Son Hyung-ju like that? At a young age, Son Hyung-ju stabilized Yangju and also led Hyungnam!”

Then Zhuge Liang spoke in a sharp voice, as if poking an awl into one’s ear.

“The one who violated Heo Hyeon’s palace and caused chaos in the Central Plains was none other than General Sun. He says he saved His Majesty, but the one who has trampled on the imperial power is none other than Sun Ji.”

In my view, the Jo clan of Heo Hyeon and the Son clan of Geon-eop are the same. No, in this case, the Son clan is even more vicious. They used loyalty as bait to save His Majesty, but in the end, they pushed His Majesty into the abyss of despair!”

Gan Ning was momentarily speechless at Zhuge Liang’s words, which were full of orthodox theories. And just as Gan Ning was about to open his mouth, Zhuge Jin intervened and handed him the letter in his bosom.

“Look, this is a letter from my lord to you.”

Zhuge Liang read the letter with a sigh of relief. After reading Sun Zhao’s letter of recommendation, Zhuge Liang shook his head.

“…Okay, I’m still immature and lacking in talent, so I’m not qualified to be appointed to Son’s position. So, please convey this message to Son Hyeong-ju.”

In response to his brother’s expected opposition, Zhuge Jin handed over a second letter.

Then, Zhuge Liang made a questioning expression for a moment and lamented that the heavens were leaving him.

“Haa, is Son Hyung-ju’s intention really this clear?”

After reading the second letter, Zhuge Liang finally burst into laughter.

―Because of the ceasefire agreement with Yu Gyeong-seung, my office was unable to advance north to Yangyang. However, if you reject my recommendation, I will advance north even if it means risking tarnishing my reputation.

Since the will of the main office is so clear, Waryong is moved by the reunion with his brother and heads to Gangneung Castle.

The content of the letter was a clear threat.

Zhuge Liang threw the letter on the table with a face of disbelief.

“If you don’t tell me to go south, I’ll lead the army and go north! Is this really the attitude of a lord who recommends a scholar? Isn’t this no different from threatening? Who in the world would hire a scholar like this?”

Zhuge Jin silently nodded his head in response to Zhuge Liang’s angry rebuke.

“…Yes, what you said is all right. However, if my lord’s will is this straight, how could I oppose it? Gongmyeong, would you really reject my lord’s recommendation?”

Then Zhuge Liang looked around the crowd. However, the path of retreat was blocked by Gan Ning and his subordinates.

In the midst of this suffocating situation, Zhuge Liang lamented so loudly that he eventually left his thatched hut.

“I had someone in mind as my lord before, but how could things turn out this way?”

The lord mentioned by Zhuge Liang. This was Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang, who had secretly set his sights on Liu Bei, sighed when he saw Gan Ning staring at him with an ominous expression.

“…Haa, I moved quickly when I heard the news that Son Hyung-ju’s army was advancing to the southern part of Myeonsu, but this is how things ended up….”

Zhuge Liang, who was looking around closely, spoke weakly.

“Ha, let’s go, to Gangneung.”

Although he would like to subdue them all and flee, Zhuge Liang, a mere scholar, cannot subdue the soldiers in the crowd. For the time being, he has no choice but to follow them.

“Where in the world is there an author who treats scholars so ignorantly?”

Zhuge Jin, who still had some conscience, lowered his head in shame at Zhuge Liang’s lamenting voice.

But Gan Ning laughed instead. These guys didn’t know what kind of person their lord was.

“Now, follow me. The lord has ordered you to bring the teacher quickly.”

As Gan Ning’s urging poured in, Zhuge Liang spoke with a stern face.

“…There are a lot of things I didn’t get to pack… Maybe tomorrow….”

Zhuge Liang wanted to buy time rather than leave quickly. In fact, he also had some thoughts that if there was a chance, he might meet Liu Bei.

But Gan Ning said with a wicked smile on his lips.

“The lord has ordered us to wait until he takes over Yangyang within this year. How about moving then?”

Zhuge Liang ended up giving up after hearing Gan Ning’s words that were full of keen insight.

“…I heard before that Son Hyung-ju’s insight was outstanding, but did he foresee things even hundreds of miles away, in Yangyang?”

Zhuge Liang finally looked up with a face that seemed to have given up on everything in the world.

The alarm bell rang loudly in my head telling me that I shouldn’t do this, but there was no way out.

Zhuge Liang stared blankly into space with a look of regret.

‘It’s a shame. If I had met Yu Hyeon-deok, I would have dreamed of restoring Hansil together.’

However, since Son So, who had such deep insight, had chosen him first, there was no way for him, a mere scholar, to escape.

Zhuge Liang, who was constantly thinking about what ifs in his head, headed to Gangneung Castle with his wife.

***

At that time, 50 li north of Deunghyeon, Namyang-gun.

Deung-Hyeon was so close to prosperity that it was almost touching the ground.

In fact, it would have taken about two days to reach Yangyangseong from this distance.

Meanwhile, Liu Bei was heading south toward Yongzhong.

His heart started pounding for no reason and he felt uneasy. For some reason, he had a troubling feeling that if things continued this way, dark clouds would gather over his future.

Yu-bi shouted loudly, cheering on his fast-running horse.

“Come on, let’s go south! My heart is pounding and I’m feeling anxious. I have to go to Yongjung quickly!”

Then Zhang Fei, who was displeased with the fact that Liu Bei was paying so much attention to Zhuge Liang, grumbled and spat out:

“Big brother, it takes two days to get from here to Yongzhong anyway. What could happen in that mountain village if we’re only one day late?”

At the comfortable words of the equipment, Yu-bi said with a firm expression.

“Oh my! Can’t you ride your horse in a hurry? I’m so anxious and dizzy that I can’t do it!”

At Yu-bi’s sharp urging, Jang-bi clicked his tongue and turned his gaze forward.

The expression on Liu Bei’s face as he quickly ran towards Yongzhong was truly desperate.

‘Why are you so anxious? Did something happen to him?’
