Episode 280. Floating or liver? (1)
“I see. Then, when are you planning?”
“A lot of preparation has already been done. I think it will be okay if Heodo is emptied within two months.”
“All right. I will.”
When the painter told him that he gave away the false image too easily without making any demands, Guo Jia looked at the painter in disbelief.
“If there is anything you want from Your Majesty or our lord, please tell me. The imperial palace said that it would transfer the capital, but it was a burden on the company, so he said that he would compensate if there was something he wanted.”
“If the emperor trusted my brother-in-law and made a decision, what could my younger brother wish for? I am grateful enough to be able to help. On the contrary, if I need anything to serve Your Majesty as Heodo, please tell me. I will prepare with all my heart.”
“No, no. We will do all the preparation. The company made the decision so easily that I was just deeply moved.”
Kwok Ga said with a sincere expression.
the fireman replied.
“The help I received from Hyung Cho is not something to be treated as such. If I can repay you even a little like this, I am just grateful.”
The painter bent over himself.
“Anyway, I’m sorry, but I looked around the military for a while before the company came, and there were too few troops.”
The fireman nodded calmly.
I had to speak well from now on.
“The war with the Western Zhou was quite fierce. Oh, of course, the damage didn’t accumulate thanks to the wise decision of the castle lords to surrender later. However, too many soldiers were injured in the beginning.”
“Still, I heard that there were 300,000 troops, but only 70,000... Isn’t the damage too great? At this rate, it will be difficult to withstand the attacks of the other princes.”
“It’s a force that can do a full defense. Besides, who is my brother-in-law who would dare to cross Yeju?”
“The Duke of Zhou also lost a lot of troops this time saving His Majesty from Li Ju and Guo Si.”
Guo Jia said with a sad expression. The fireman looked at him and nodded.
“I know. It was a really tough war.”
“It was. However, he shined a great light in the midst of difficult decisions by the head of state.”
“You must have.”
The painter quietly took a sip of the tea.
“That’s why the heart of the older brother is grateful. I pretended to be calm because the princess of the previous company commanded even children who could hardly lift a spear, and in fact there was no man in Yeju to command more, but it was a dead end. At a time like this, the fact that Hyung Cho came to Heo Do means that he does not easily see this agenda’s plight, doesn’t it? So, on the contrary, I am grateful.
After hearing what the fireman said, Guo Jia seemed to understand why the fireman didn’t ask for anything about the transfer of the capital to Xudu.
‘Did I worry for nothing? Are you really not greedy? I thought he would definitely be greedy because he became the great empress of Yeju and Seoju...’
Looking back, there was no reason for his own main Gong Jojo to make the fireman an agenda. Although he healed his grandfather and did a few important things, that’s not enough to be on Cao Cao’s agenda. To say yes, you need to look at the mind of a painter rather than outstanding medical skills.
A good will that roams the battlefield and does good deeds without being greedy.
Yeo-po and Woo-geum must have also admired such good deeds.
‘As expected, there is no one who can help me as much as this person to win the people’s heart after accomplishing great things in the future!’
Kwak Ga guessed the reason why Jojo made the fire department an agenda. Looking back, it was justified enough.
A bright smile appeared on the face of Kwak Ga, who understood the fireman’s tendency.
“Our lord always has the agenda, Mrs. Fireman, in mind. You talk about your righteousness to us so much that it makes our ears tick.”
“Haha, is that so? That’s something I’m very grateful for. In fact, it wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for my older brother.”
The day after the meeting with the painter, Guo Jia returned to Luoyang with the reply the painter had written.
* * *
“I know.”
“Your brother is Sun Ce’s assistant, so you don’t mind?”
“I didn’t tell you, but I care enough.”
“Then, how do you think the war will go?”
“It’s still early days, so Yuyao with many soldiers is overwhelming, but as Sun Ce’s camp, Zhou You led the soldiers of Luyang County and joined them, so the battle is expected to turn around soon.”
“Even though Yeoyang County is a large prefecture, it is still only one prefecture. If only a few thousand soldiers were added, would a difference of more than twice as large change the situation?”
“Zhou Yu is an excellent mother-in-law that even my older brother acknowledges. If Geun-i and Zhou-yu put their heads together and devise a strategy, they will be able to reverse the unfavorable battle situation. Furthermore, the quality of longevity and soldiers is different.”
“Doesn’t Liu Yao have a counselor?”
“Jak-ryong and Seol-rye are excellent, but they are already defeated by Yuan-sul and are retreating. And Geun is nothing compared to older brother or Ju Yu.”
“Even if it is a retreating force, there are twice as many soldiers.”
Even though the painter knew roughly the situation, he spoke more strongly to improve Zhuge Liang’s ability to judge. In the military, the more you think about this and that, the better your skills are.
“It’s not because I’m my older brother, but Geun-i hyung is really good.”
“Then how are you?”
“I’m not as good as my brother.”
It was a question asked by the painter in a playful way, but Zhuge Liang answered after serious consideration.
“So who is better?”
“That’s... It’s hard to answer easily.”
The painter saw Zhuge Liang scratching his head and opened his mouth after laughing.
“By the way, books and keun are all people who can’t be called strangers to me... Didn’t the district say anything?”
“Actually, not too long ago, Dangji’s older brother came to me and told the Duke of Zhou that he would lend Yangzhou Haomen’s strength if he wanted it, but I refused.”
Hearing Zhuge Liang’s answer, the fireman was puzzled.
“why? It would be of great help in the war if the district lends its strength.”
“This time, when we went to war with Xu Zhou, Sun Ce didn’t help at all. So it is not fair for us to lend our power.”
“It wasn’t a fight I led from the beginning, was it?”
“That’s true, but I still can’t spend the power of the principal on something like this.”
“Consumer. I don’t think so. It’s not that I don’t know your heart, but when else can I help my brother? If you miss the time, it may remain as one of the worst. I’ll tell Dang Ji, so help my brother. Don’t think of helping Son Che, think of helping your brother.”
As if moved by the painter’s words, Zhuge Liang’s eyes instantly turned red. Although he takes on the position of military and focuses his heart on Hwabu, he is still young. Actually, I was worried about my older brother, but I couldn’t bear to ask the fireman for help.
The painter saw through Zhuge Liang’s intentions.
“Thank you for being considerate of your convictions, such grace as Hahae from the Lord of Judgment.”
“There is no such thing as too much gratitude. Isn’t it human nature to give back a debt? There will be days when your brother will help us when we are in need.”
After a while, the fireman called Li Dangji and moved Haomen on the Yangzhou side to help Sun Ce.

Upon hearing Guo Jia’s report, Cao Cao chuckled with a very satisfied expression.
“I knew I would. I thought I could do it if it was rich.”
“I was very impressed with the friendship between the two of you.”
“My agenda is someone who gives away the false image without thinking about it for a moment. He’s the kind of guy who will always treat me the same way whether I’m a cripple or an emperor.”
