The theory is that the Hangryang army is currently encamped.

Actually, that place wasn’t that famous in the past.

At the end of the Warring States Period, King Maeng Sang-gun was enthroned in the land and gathered a group of gourmets. This area became famous for the famous Gyemyeong-gudo (鷄鳴狗盜), an anecdote in which a gourmet with the knack of making chicken and dog cries saved his life. .

The story of Maeng Sang-gun gathering his guests had two major implications.

One is that Maeng Sang-gun was not in much trouble while feeding all 60,000 guests, so Seolland must have been a very fertile land.

Second, the Chinese people’s tradition of living together in a clan society was broken, and an environment was created in which even those with insignificant talents traveled all over China to show off their talents.

Such changes continued even after the establishment of the Jin Empire, and many talented people were now flocking to the Xiangliang army.

‘Should I be happy?’

Hang Liang thought.

It was certainly something to be happy about as the army grew stronger day by day.

However, deep within Xiang Liang’s heart, a dark emotion was stirring.

‘Is that army really my army?’

Hang Liang could not erase such doubts.

Such suspicions deepened after King Ungsim was established as the king of Chu.

Ungsim was now called King Hoe.

‘He’s a useful guy.’

Xiang Liang had a conversation with King Huai at the banquet and came to that conclusion.

Here, ‘useful’ was never a compliment.

Rather, it was an expression containing a cold calculation that it had sufficient value as a tool.

‘That’s enough for a puppet.’

Xiang Liang had a satisfied expression on his face.

King Xiang Liang saw King Huai as a timid person. He had thin lines like a woman, had a high voice, and was a person who hesitated with frightened eyes and could not do anything on his own.

However, at the same time, it was true that such aspects stimulated the sadness of the Chu people.

Until then, there was a widespread perception that the royal family of Chu was a victim of the oppression of the Jin Dynasty, and because of this, King Huai’s soft side was enough to stimulate sympathy.

‘Arousing sympathy is a quality that only women have. ‘It’s not a quality one would have as a monarch.’

This was indeed a pleasure for Xiang Liang, who was planning to make King Huai a scarecrow monarch.

‘The problem is that person.’

Xiang Liang looked at the elderly man who was guarding King Huai’s side.

The man’s name is Song Yi (宋義). He was a man who stayed by Woongshim’s side while he was on the run.

If that were all, there would be no burden on Xiang Liang, but Song Yi’s status was an issue.

Ode to the Chu Dynasty.

It was a representative noble family of Chu during the Warring States Period.

A noble family who served as Prime Minister for generations.

‘Damn things!’

Xiang Liang cursed at them in his heart.

Hang Jia was also a prestigious family of the Chu Dynasty. As can be seen from the fact that Jinseung and Oh Gwang impersonated Hang Yeon’s name during the rebellion, this is a family with a high reputation.

However, even the Hang family was a inferior family compared to the Song family.

“The only person who can revive the Chu Dynasty is indeed General Hang.”

Song Yi used to say that in a humble manner.

However, Xiang Liang could not take these words literally.

In fact, Song Yi’s intentions were not good either.

‘You are only a subject of the Chu Dynasty. ‘Your task is only the revival of the state of Chu; hope for nothing more.’

That was the intention behind Song Yi’s words.

If Song Yi had been a nobleman who only paid lip service, Xiang Liang would have ignored his words.

There was no way I was afraid of a dog that just barked.

However, the atmosphere in the Xiangliang army was turning strangely.

Song Yi, who never leaves King Hoe’s side and protects him.

And the nobles of Chu rallied to their side.

It was a sight that looked as if Song Eui had returned to Yeongyun.

The gathering of the nobility of the old era was by no means something to be ignored.

‘I’m the one doing the trick, and they’re the ones enjoying the spoils.’

Hang Liang thought.

‘We need to deal with this before their right to speak out becomes stronger.’

Hang Liang gritted his teeth.

I couldn’t leave it like this.

A major was needed to suppress them.

An overwhelming major that cannot be disparaged by its politics!

Hang Liang had to mobilize the military for this.

It was from such impatience that Xiang Liang ordered to advance north.

The huge Anti-Liang army began its advance.

The Chu army thrust its sword towards the heart of Jin.

*****

Song Yi frowned as he looked at the grand strategy delivered by Xiang Liang.

‘Is this person crazy?’

Song Yi was displeased with Xiang Liang, who campaigned as if I were a monarch.

But even if you take those feelings aside, the strategy he came up with was extremely dangerous.

To summarize Xiang Liang’s strategy, written in complex military terms, it was as follows.

‘Divide the entire army into two.’

One army would attack Jeongdo, south of Jisu, and the other, led by Hang Jeok and Yugye, would follow Jisu and attack Shengyang (near Bei County, Shandong Province).

That was the gist of this strategy.

It was a kind of two-faced operation. The Qin army continues to win battles, but in the end, it is only Jang Han who leads it. It was Hang Liang’s arrangement that saw through it all.

No matter how good an individual is, it will be difficult to deal with forces coming from both sides at the same time.

‘That’s stupid!’

Song Yi thought.

Ideally, when things proceed, the two-faced operation unfolds as above.

However, it is an ideal assumption after all.

Maybe there was a magical tool that could communicate with each other thousands of miles away, but the double-front operations of this era were more like life-threatening stunts with a slim chance of success.

Therefore, in most cases, the method of dividing the army into two and attacking the enemy ended in failure, with each being defeated, rather than success in forming a two-faced front and putting pressure on the enemy.

‘If the core of strategy is to emphasize concentration rather than scattering, then… what on earth is Hang Liang thinking?’

Song Yi felt frustrated.

‘In fact, isn’t Xiang Liang darker in the art of war than I thought?’

Song Yi even had that suspicion.

Although the true nature of Jang Han’s forces was still shrouded in mystery, the rumors heard about them were consistent.

They move as if they were one body, enjoy night attacks, and are good at defeating enemies by concentrating their efforts together.

Judging by the rumors, the army led by Jang Han must be Jin’s elite.

And it would be foolish to use a trick against the most elite military.

A strategy is bound to break under a strong standard.

“Song?”

Someone spoke to Song Eui, who was suffering from not being able to sort out her confused feelings.

“Charge.”

Song Yi bowed respectfully to King Hoe.

“What’s going on?”

Hoewang, Woongsim.

A young person who has not yet become an adult.

Moreover, he was a very weak child who could not be left alone.

Song Yi forced a smile and opened his mouth to reassure King Huai.

“It’s no big deal, Your Highness. Rest assured.”

Song Yi said so and comforted King Hoe.

“Song-ui would be relieved if that happened, but…”

King Hoe said, wiggling his fingers.

“…Do you have any inconvenience, Your Highness?”

Song Yi looked at King Huai and asked.

“Ugh, that’s…”

King Hoe hesitated for a while, then gathered courage and opened his mouth.

“ Because I wanted to wash…”

King Huai blushed and said as if he were embarrassed.

“Ah.”

Song Yi sighed.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness, I should have paid more attention in advance…”

Song Yi apologized to King Huai.

“There is a small valley nearby. The water is clean and cold, making it a good place to cool off. The soldiers are busy preparing for the march and are not around. You will be able to have your body with peace of mind there.”

“Ugh, I see.”

King Hoe stroked his chest as if relieved.

“Thank you, Song Ui.”

King Hoe left the military camp alone with a simple smile, more like a delicate girl than a king.

There was a dark aura in Song Yi’s eyes as he looked at her back.

*****

“…”

“…”

I and I walked along the forest path in silence.

After becoming siblings, the time the two spent together increased.

It was a constant consideration to deepen friendship by sharing acquaintances.

‘That’s a good thing, Sbeol.’

I cursed under my breath and grunted.

It was an easy conversation just a short time ago, but now it was extremely awkward.

The problem was that they were sworn siblings.

I have never had a female sibling, and Haengjeok has never had a male sibling either.

Haeng-jeok always hesitated, which was not typical of the confident woman, and I also found it difficult to deal with her like that, so I acted awkwardly.

“Less.”

Unable to endure such silence, I let out a strange scream, ‘Hiya!’

“What, what, why are you doing that, oh, brother?”

Haengjeok called him ‘oppa’ with an odd pronunciation, as if he was still not used to the name.

“…I’ll come see Sophie.”

What a fool.

I was so pathetic that I left under the excuse of urinating.

It’s so awkward, I need to catch my breath for a moment.

I went to a far away place, unfastened my belt, and took a refreshing pee.

“Ugh…”

As I shivered and pulled up my pants, I heard the sound of water.

There must have been a stream near here.

I was also thirsty, so I thought it was okay and followed the place where I heard the sound of water.

And there I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.

“…Your Majesty?”

“…!”

The source from which the sound of water flowed was a valley, and in it King Hoi, the monarch of the Hangryang army, was enshrined.

There was nothing strange about that, but the problem was…

‘Fuck, why do men have breasts?’

The problem was the Mamma Tong that depended on King Hoe.

Baby Mamma Dispenser. It is also a first-class stew that is quite large and has a pretty shape.

No, what nonsense am I talking about?

I struggled to regain my composure, blaming myself for being so confused and thinking strange thoughts.

“Ugh…Ugh…Ugh…”

King Hoe’s eyes turn red and he begins to cry.

This is not good.

“Kyaaa…suck!”

I ran to King Hoe and covered his mouth with my hand.

“Be quiet!”

“Eup! Ugh! Ugh!”

King Hoe trembled and covered his chest with his arms.

…She looks like a complete coward and a frightened woman.

Fuck, this isn’t it…

“Oppa?”

And the voice coming from behind is a wake.

Damn, it’s getting so complicated.

King Hoe is believed to have been hiding the fact that he was a woman.

At the same time, this woman clearly thinks of me as a coward.

And knowing this, a wake that would not be good was approaching.

‘Fuck, what should I do?’

I was confused, swearing under my breath.
