Mats hastily brought in from a nearby town were laid on the ground, which was filled with the smell of iron. And Jojo carefully knelt down on top of it.

It was only after the entire process was completed that the emperor’s edict, tightly sealed with a string and held in the hands of a eunuch from Luoyang, was opened.

” The wise man of Chohyeon, Cao Cao, listen, the lives of all the people are in ruins due to the poor harvest that has continued for several years, and there is a group of reckless people who are taking advantage of the gap, and the world is in great confusion. ”

No, I’ll just say the business briefly and end it. Why is my tongue so long?

It must have been a moment when I was muttering to myself, my arms crossed and my legs growing tired as the eunuch read aloud with no sign of ending even though it had already been five minutes.

As I continued to kneel, my legs began to feel numb. The eunuch who was reading the emperor’s edict in a treacherous voice suddenly began to speak faster, perhaps because he sensed something like a threat to his life as Cao Cao’s eyes became sharper as time passed.

“ㅡSo, I enshrined Cao Cao, the prefect of Chohyeon, on the prayer table. Cao Cao on the prayer table was ordered to lead the soldiers and work hard to eradicate the rebellion.”

Eventually, with those last words, the emperor’s edict, which returned to its original form, was placed on Cao Cao’s palm – and Cao Cao shouted “Long live” in that state.

It was a soulless voice that made my face feel hot when I heard it.

I wondered if that might be why they were caught, but like the kings of Boshinism, they didn’t want to stay in the middle of the battlefield any longer, never knowing when and where a group of people wearing yellow hoods might pop out.

The eunuch, who glanced at Cao Cao for a moment as if he did not like him, took out a thousand of the soldiers he had brought and left with them. At almost the same time, the one who stepped forward was a beauty with black hair who seemed to have an exciting personality, and a beauty with a cool-headed appearance with impressive, subtle bluish silver hair.

Two people with conflicting vibes,

Nevertheless, as I was looking at the two, I thought that they seemed strangely similar.

Jojo, who had just gotten up from the mat, pretended to know them.

“Olyang and Myojae, why are you here?”

“What is wrong with Waegi! Of course, I’m here to help you defeat the Yellow Turban bastards!”

“···Long time no see. Aman sister.”

Ocean, and myojae.

These were very familiar titles even to me, who had barely scratched the surface of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. That’s because they were names that could never be left out when talking about Jojo.

‘Somehow, the two seemed strangely similar.’

If those two were the two I knew, it was worth it.

Ha Hu-don, and Ha Hu-yeon.

As I was repeating the names that naturally came to mind, JoJo’s voice continued.

“What about Luoyang?”

“Luoyang? Luoyang, won’t the old man take care of it? Kyahaha!”

“If it’s about Luoyang, you don’t have to worry. Hongi decided to stay in Luoyang, and Suni is there too.”

The recent talk continued like that for a while. Among the conversations that took place, there was also a mention that one of the Ten Sangshi was executed after being found out that he was in cahoots with the Taiping Islands, or rather the Yellow Turban Red Army.

“By the way, what are your thoughts? Huh?”

“What.”

“I sent a letter to the elder and made them take action. Don’t you hate being associated with those guys?”

“···I don’t think it’s a story worth telling in a place like this.”

At first, I said I couldn’t help it because I was in a state of panic, but I guess I thought it wasn’t a good idea to keep doing this here. Jojo suggested that the two move to the barracks temporarily erected to clear the battlefield.

“In, follow me too, and… Soohyun, you too.”

It was right after Cao Cao turned to Cao Ren and me and said that that Xiahou Dun, the black-haired girl who was standing with her arms behind her head, suddenly narrowed the distance.

“Hmm, is this man the ‘Soo-hyeon’ you’ve been talking about? It’s a little different from what I thought.”

“···I have never said anything to the point where my mouth was worn out.”

” That’s why I never did that, because I always said ‘Suhyun is’ and ‘If Suhyun is’. ”

So I had high expectations, but after mumbling that in a low voice, Xiahou Dun lowered one of his hands that was behind his head and held it out towards me.

“I’m Xiahudon, sleeping Wonyang.”

Looking at the way he extended his hand while introducing himself, does this mean that we should at least shake hands to commemorate our first meeting? That seemed to be the case, so I introduced myself and held his outstretched hand.

“This is Soohyun Yoon. There is no separate ruler yet.”

“Actually, I already know. I’ve heard so much about you that my ears prick up. Thanks to so-and-so.”

“Ocean!”

“After Bijeong, you said you swore in front of the elders that you would become the sword of Aman, no, of Cao Cao?”

Crackling – the hands I was holding began to gain strength. It was such an overwhelming strength that it was hard to believe it was from a woman, perhaps because of her inner strength.

“Actually, I am like that too. You are not the only one who decided to risk your life for JoJo.”

I developed my strength to fight against him.

Among the six martial arts taught by Join, the true energy of Uicheon Qigong, which is the part of my study, began to rise from inside my body and seep into my hands.

Did you feel my energy like that?

The sharply raised eyebrows twitched for a moment. It’s like, ‘Hoo? Look at this? As if to say, ‘But he’s not just a sloppy guy, right?’

“Kyahaha, yes! This is it! Honestly, aren’t you curious too? Which one would be a better sword for Cao Cao, you or this lower Wonyang?”

“So, are you trying to sort out the ranking?”

“If only you agree?”

It must have been a moment when you were wondering what to do as you noticed the fierce and winning smile on the other person’s face.

“Really! Wonyang and your disciple, both of you, please do it in moderation!”

With a sharp shout, I thought the wind was blowing, and before I knew it, Jo-in was standing between me and Xiahou-don.

Before we knew it, both of Jo In’s hands were grasping my and Ha Hu Dun’s arms.

I felt a strength coming from my forearms that was incomparable to what I felt from the impatient woman in front of me. As I swallowed my laughter without realizing it, Xiahou Dun, who was looking at me with burning eyes, turned to Jo In.

“Oh! Who is this! It’s human! It’s so small that I just saw it now!”

At that moment I could see.

The sight of tendons sticking out from above Jo-in’s rounded forehead.

Even when I called him by his first name instead of “Master,” he only made verbal comments and never got really angry.

But Jo-in is really angry…

“It hurts~?!”

He was no match for Hahudon or anything else.

Should I say that this is a performance worthy of becoming the best general of Cao Cao’s army in the future?

‘by the way···.’

You don’t like the word small…

From now on, I won’t make fun of my height.

*****

“I’ve already said this several times, but I want everyone to keep it in mind one more time. From now on, if there is anyone who instigates conflict among generals, he or she will be held accountable regardless of their rank.◦@ ◦

“Yes!”

“Yes.”

“Okay.”

“Especially you, Wonyang, if you want to use your power, use it on your enemies. Don’t try to use it on your allies.”

“I understand, I understand.”

About 5,000 horse infantrymen supported from Luoyang,

And even Hahou-don and Ha-hu-yeon appeared with them.

Thanks to their joining, the problems of the relatively insufficient number of people and the absence of generals were simultaneously solved. Thanks to this, we gained the driving force to move forward.

Is that why it was like that?

JoJo’s face was quite encouraging as he invited us into his barracks to discuss future plans. No matter how cautious he was, it seems he found it difficult to remain calm in the face of a situation that was starting to go exactly as he had planned.

As I was happily looking at Jojo, whose cheeks were flushed and flushed as if he had just had a drink, Ha Hoo-yeon, who was looking down at the map in front of Jojo with a uniquely cold expression, opened her mouth.

“So what are your future plans?”

Could it be that Jojo was also waiting for someone to say that?

“You asked well.”

As if in response to Xiahouyeon’s words, Cao Cao raised his finger and pointed to a part of the map. It was a place where wooden horses of different colors were placed.

“First of all, we will advance towards the west like this and save the Jin army.”

“Jingun-myeon is where Jinwangbu is, right? Looks like it’s still holding up without collapsing?”

“Yes.”

Cao Cao answered Xiahou Dun’s words by nodding his head once and moved his finger on the part where Jin (陳) was written a little more to the left.

Where Jojo’s fingers touched–

“And after using that place as a supply base… here…”

Two rather ugly-looking wooden horses were arranged in a neat manner, perhaps because they were made that way on purpose.

“We hit Yeongcheon.”

“Youngcheon? If it’s Yeongcheon, could it be ㅡ”

“Yes, that’s right.”

A cool smile appeared on Jo Jo’s face at Jo In’s remark, as if he had nothing to hide.

“Shouldn’t we aim for something big?”
