Episode 162. Yang Yang Sung (4)

After finishing his conversation with Sonso, Gyo-gong headed to his quarters.

At that moment, the teacher’s confidant approached cautiously and asked.

“My lord, did he make a mistake?”

“…You handled it very cleverly. As expected, the rumors are not without reason. But there is still a chance.

“We’ll just have to get the slightest excuse to kick out the author… Anyway, let’s look through it thoroughly. Even if it’s just a nitpick!”

“Yes, I understand.”

The teacher was very disappointed that he could not find out Sonso’s mistake.

This is Gangneung, not Geonup.

It was an environment where Sonso could easily make even a small slip of the tongue. It was a position where that could easily happen.

But Son Soo still showed no weaknesses at all. He was completely different from my father.

‘This vicious, poisonous snake… Are you not even going to give me that little flaw?’

Things didn’t go as planned, but what can I do? It seems like Sonso has already figured out his intentions.

Of course, I didn’t think I’d get caught up in this one time.

‘There is still a chance.’

It would not be easy to select a legitimate successor to the Son family.

Why else would Sun Ce, who couldn’t even bring him down, join forces with him? If you suggested this to other powerful clans, they would probably be shocked and shake their heads.

It would have been much easier if Son So had been as talented as Won Dam, the eldest son of Won Ga.

However, Son So showed off his talents and became the successor. To Son So, comparing him to Won Dam was an insult.

In this way, Son So’s position as successor was overwhelmingly solid.

That is why, if he had been the original teacher, he would never have dared to imagine breaking Sonso… But the fruits of his labor after breaking Sonso were very sweet.

That was why he didn’t back down even though he knew that Sonso was his opponent.

‘If you sit in the public seat… . I will strike down your hand and put you on the throne of the king… .’

Gong (公). There could be no higher position under the Emperor of Han.

And that successor position will be inherited by his grandson, the successor to the family line?

A truly tremendous slope that will make your whole body fill with joy.

‘Everything is for the sake of the school song….’

Ikju Chokgun Seongdo-hyeon.

Meanwhile, Son Geon was given an important mission. He arrived in the city after running for almost a month.

Sun Geon, who met Yoo Jang like that, bowed his head politely.

“I greet you, the master of Ikju, Yu Ikju. I am Yu Yeju’s servant, Son Gongwoo, nicknamed Son Geon.”

Yujang, who was middle-aged, had lived a peaceful life, and his face looked rich. In other words, rich, but in reality, oil was running down his face.

Yoojang asked, welcoming the handkerchief.

“Hehehe, what is this place, Yu Ye-ju’s servant?”

Son Gun opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“…Does Your Majesty Yoo Ik-ju know about the situation in Hyung-ju?”

“…Hyeongju? I heard that Son Baek-so swallowed up most of Hyeongju… I don’t know what happened after that. In fact, the distance between Hyeongju and Yiju is quite long.”

It was just as Yujang said.

The outskirts of Ikju were covered with dense mountains. So, it was impossible for ordinary soldiers to invade.

Even if there was a war, it only occurred within Ikju and it was extremely rare for there to be an invasion from outside.

Son-geon sighed deeply as if he was sorry, then mumbled something in a flowing voice.

“Oh my…. It’s truly a shame. Such a peaceful city of Xingzhou was caught up in the ravages of war….”

When Yujang heard those words, his eyes widened.

“Listen, Son Jong-jong! War? What do you mean?”

“Oh, no. It seems the department made a mistake.”

As soon as the handkerchief was pulled away, Yujang hardened his expression and shouted.

“Oh, please tell me! Ikju is in danger! What on earth do you mean by that?”

Sun Keon pretended not to be able to resist the fiery words of Yu Jang.

“…I don’t know if Yu Ik-ju knows, but it wouldn’t be strange if Hyung-ju falls into Son Baek-so’s hands at any time.”

Then, Huang Quan, one of Liu Zhang’s subordinates who had been listening quietly, stepped forward.

“I am Hwang Gong-hyeong, the housekeeper. Why did you suddenly appear and try to disturb the peace of Yizhou? If you are trying to instigate a crisis unnecessarily, go back!”

But where on earth would a great man be discouraged by such words?

A master of words who went on diplomatic missions to various parts of the Central Plains under the orders of Liu Bei. There was no way that such a person could be subdued by a single word from the emperor.

Son Gun responded with a rather bold attitude.

“You don’t know the situation of Hyung-ju, Mrs. Hwang, and you too are the same. I will explain it to you clearly, so listen carefully.

Yangyangseong is currently in a state of crisis. Right now, Yu Hyeong-ju’s eldest son is being ambushed and is in a state of dire straits.

And the aristocrats who followed Yu Hyung-ju are in a situation of rebellion against him. In short, Yangyangseong is on the verge of being split in two.

But, with my arms folded and my eyes silently watching their ugly behavior, if this isn’t a crisis for Nuran, then what is it?”

Huang Quan was silent at the realistic description of the situation coming out of Sun Qian’s mouth. No matter how talented Huang Quan was in Yizhou, he could not beat the vivid information from the local area.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhang, who had heard the detailed news from Jingzhou, scolded Huang Quan.

“Oh my! Gong-hyung, step aside. Isn’t that too harsh on the person who brought Hyung-ju’s valuable information?”

“…I’m sorry.”

But this series of events was all too familiar to Son Gun.

A situation where he was secretly trying to seize control while yelling at his subordinates. It was a situation where he had been watching them as if he was eating rice, to add a bit of exaggeration.

Son Gun, who had smiled coldly, soon spoke with an indifferent face.

“It seems that the news I brought is useless to Ik-ju. It seems to be useless to Yu Ik-ju and the others, so I will now take my leave.”

When Song Keon turned around after finishing speaking, it was Yoo Jang who became anxious.

The news of Hyungju’s downfall after a long time?

Even though he was far from Hyung-ju, this must have been a very nerve-racking experience for Yi-ju, who had Hyung-ju by his side.

If Sun So had not taken over Jing Province, it would have been someone else’s business, but what if Sun So took over Jing Province and extended his reach to Yi Province?

‘If things continue like this, we will have to fight against Huang Ming and Sun Ce’s army!’

The only wars he had ever experienced were a few wars that were like child’s play. Aside from that, Yizhou was very peaceful. Fearing Sun So’s invasion, Liu Zhang threw away his dignity as the governor of Yizhou and seized Sun Geon.

“Oh my, the news you just brought us is so precious to us. What are you talking about? Come on, I’ll scold Gong-hyeong—the title of the Emperor—very much, so let’s talk about the situation in Hyeong-ju and the solution first.”

Son Geon, who had regained the initiative, smiled in satisfaction.

‘If things go like this… I will be able to carry out my lord’s orders.’

A few days later, Sun Jian, who had succeeded in persuading Yu Jang, headed to Xinye Castle again.

Liu Zhang chose Liu Bei’s army as his new sword.

***

Hyungju Namgun Gangneungseong.

The tooth of the hand.

Today, I was really annoyed after defeating the yellow press of construction industry, Kyo-gong.

That bastard, Jiao Gong, has Sun Ce at his back and is waiting for me to make a mistake. How could I not be angry?

Even if he tried to banish him from Gangneung Castle, he could not be banished privately because he was the same age as his maternal grandfather and Sun Ce was behind him.

‘Ha, you keep nitpicking everything I say… .’

The goal of the school was clear.

If I make even the slightest suspicious movement, he’ll probably run to Sun Ce and report it.

At that moment, a rather useful idea suddenly occurred to me.

‘… Wait a minute? Why do I have to be the only one suffering like this? The more I share the pain, the happier it becomes?’

If the teacher is doing this to harm me, an honest and upright person,

As a noble person, it is extremely regrettable, but I had no choice but to transfer this anger that had no place to go onto someone else.

For example, Shinya’s army trying to submit to someone.

‘… It’s not just an empty promise. Liu Bei has experienced the rise and fall of many powers… and fled every time those powers fell. But would it be any different this time?’

With this in mind, I quickly called the dispatcher.

“I spoke to you about Liu Bei earlier. You were certain that he would move to Yi Province.”

Then, Bang Tong, who was bewildered by the sudden call, nodded his head slowly.

“Yes, that’s right. I don’t know if it’s Hanzhong or Shu, but I’m sure it’s Yizhou. In fact, it’s difficult for Liu Bei’s forces to establish themselves as a force anywhere else.”

It just happened to be perfect.

If you spread the true rumor about Liu Bei throughout Yizhou.

It was clear that Liu Bei would now suffer the same fate as Jingzhou.

You head to a foreign land to escape the guest house, but what if you’re still a guest house?

I said, straightening the muscles around my mouth that were about to move on their own.

“Well then, let’s take this opportunity to spread some rumors about Yu-bi.”

“A rumor?”

“Why, isn’t that the one? The one I mentioned about Yu-bi last time.”

Then, Bangtong’s eyes, which had been pretending to think for a moment, opened wide.

“…Are you telling me to spread rumors about General Yoo’s comments?”

“No, rather than a review…. Let’s call it the people’s question. It would be good if it was after Liu Bei left Xinye. After Liu Bei empties Xinye and Liu Biao’s army falls, the rumors will become more certain.

For example… . Yes, most of the forces that Liu Bei passed through were reduced to ashes. In the past, didn’t the warlords who took Liu Bei under their command all fall? He’s making the people talk about it.”

In fact, starting from Gongsun Zan, to Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao.

Except for Cao Cao, all of them were in ruins. Yuan Shao’s army had long since been torn apart, and Liu Biao was also sick and on the verge of becoming a corpse.

Just as it is a natural fact that the sun rises in the east, it was also a clear fact that the forces that Liu Bei had passed through up until then were also wavering.

Meanwhile, Bangtong, who had been listening to my story, opened his mouth with a tired face.

“…If the people didn’t know, General Yoo Jo would become a plague to the warlords. More importantly, such a sinister scheme… I have learned a thing or two, my lord.”

How can spreading the truth be considered a trick? This was truly a slander against the press.

“Oh, how sinister! What are you talking about when I’m not saying anything? Anyway, I’m going to start spreading that rumor from the day Liu Bei leaves Xinye Castle. Do you understand?”

Then, Bangtong’s face distorted for a moment as if he had heard something he shouldn’t have heard, but he soon answered brightly.

“…Yes, my lord.”

As a swift horse can travel a thousand miles, a bad rumor about someone can travel as fast as lightning.

Perhaps, by the time the rumor reached Yizhou, Liu Bei would have also arrived there. I was very curious about Liu Bei’s face when he heard this rumor in Yizhou.

I don’t know, but it’s probably more distorted than when I saw it last time at Dangyanghyeon.

‘Do you think it’ll be any different in Ikju? I’ll be a guest in Ikju anyway.’

***

June 208.

Xingzhou Southern Commandery Xinya Castle.

Liu Bei was desperately waiting for Sun Qian’s return.

I was filled with joy upon hearing Son Geon’s report of his return.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thanks to you, things turned out well!”

“No, it is because Yu Ik-ju understood his lord’s grand intentions.”

After finishing his conversation with Yi Ju, Liu Bei, who had finished preparing to go on an expedition, looked toward the west.

To get from Xingzhou to Yizhou, the mountain paths that had to be crossed would be thousands of li long. From now on, it was an arduous march.

But now, as he was leaving Xinye Castle, Yu-bi’s heart was pounding, filled with hopeful joy.

‘… This time, I will definitely achieve my goal!’

***

Hyungju Namgun Yangyangseong.

Yoo Biao’s residence.

The note was now no different from a mountain ashtray.

In a situation where he had lost his energy due to old age and even his power was taken away, Liu Biao, who reigned as the governor of Jing Province, found it difficult to even breathe each day.

But the reason why Yoo Biao has been holding on to his lifeline so desperately until now is.

It was because of the hope that one day Liu Bei would arrive at Yangyang Castle and fight against those treacherous barons.

However, there was a report that dashed such hopes.

“Do you know? That guy Yu-bi passed through Sando-hyeon and headed towards the mountain path of Han-jung. He said he received orders from his lord and kept telling lies!”

Yoo Biao blinked blankly at Chae Mo’s mocking explanation.

“……what?”

Maybe it was because I was so dumbfounded.

Liu Biao could not bring himself to continue speaking. Even Liu Bei, whom he trusted, ended up betraying him. How could the world be so cruel to him?

A fading lifeline, a vanishing power, and a hope forever lost.

All that was left to Yu Biao now was pitch-black poison.

Liu Biao, who had nothing but poison left, gathered all the energy in his body and shouted.

“…Chae-mo, you rascal! Even after I die, I will never forgive you!”

“What, what?”

But the moment Liu Biao said those words, he regretted it deeply.

‘… If only I had called Sonso’s name… All of these bastards would have died by Sonso’s hands… I was blinded by anger and my thoughts were short-sighted!’

Liu Biao’s thoughts suddenly stopped there.
