Jang-i and Jin-yeo’s lustful life continued.

On days when the doorkeeper wasn’t on duty, the two stayed indoors and greedily craved each other’s bodies.

However, the two were not stupid enough to miss the opportunity by falling into a debauched lifestyle.

When Jinseung started a rebellion and occupied Jinseong, where they lived, they quickly moved towards Jinseung.

“Heaven is helping me!”

Jinseung was very happy that two famous strategists of the time came to visit him and welcomed them.

Seizing the opportunity, Jang Yi and Jin Yeo were able to immediately join Jin Seung.

But that didn’t mean everything went the way they wanted.

Jinseung ignored their advice and ascended the throne, and they were ordered to occupy the state of Zhao together with Wu Xin.

However, Musin, perhaps inspired by Jinseung’s work, became independent after occupying the Zhao Dynasty, and Jinseung became angry and went on a rampage, but as he had no effective means, he had no choice but to acknowledge them.

In order to increase his power, Musin dispatched his general, Han Gwang, to advance to the Yan Dynasty. Han Gwang, who took control of the Yan Dynasty, declared independence and sat down there.

Betrayal of betrayal.

Musin, who could not tolerate an outsider, invaded the Yan Dynasty, but ended up becoming a foreigner.

Jinseung also died at the hands of Jang Han, and Mushin also died in the Yan Dynasty.

Jang Yi and Jin Yeo unexpectedly took over the Zhao Dynasty.

“We are finally able to express our will, Jinye!”

“Jang’s sister! It’s just as you said!”

The two shared a deep hug and rejoiced in their victory.

Needless to say, they had an affair that was so intense that it shook the mansion that night.

Zhang Yi and Jin Yeo, who took over the Zhao Dynasty, established a person named Jo Heol (趙歇) as king to control the power of the Zhao Dynasty, and made a place called Handan the capital of the Zhao Dynasty.

Handan (邯鄲).

It was a transportation hub connecting the distant western base of Guanzhong with the North China Plain.

This is a place where a city has been formed since ancient times. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Wei Dynasty had its capital here, and during the Warring States Period, the Zhao Dynasty had its capital here.

A huge commercial city with a population of 200,000 since the Warring States Period.

There seemed to be no force that dared to challenge Jang Yi and Jin Yeo who had settled there.

Until Jang Han moved north.

*****

‘It’s definitely a thick wall.’

Jang Han looked at the walls of Handan with wide eyes.

Jang Han’s army specializes in mobile warfare and raids. It was easy to be mistaken in Jang Han’s tactics, but Jang Han was originally an official who handled finances.

Because of that, Jang Han was a person who was far from Meng Jang.

Rather, Jang Han’s specialty was a long-term game in which he eliminated the opponent’s options and tightened his grip.

‘The enemy’s power appears powerful, but it is only appearance. If the enemy is shaken from the outside, that castle will collapse from within.’

After making that decision, Jang Han surrounded Handanseong Fortress and began attacking small and medium-sized cities.

Jang Han’s army, forged by the shaman himself, obeyed Jang Han’s orders without question and quickly captured small castles.

As things progressed like this, Jang-i and Jin-yeo’s situation worsened.

As mentioned earlier, the reason they took over the Zhao Dynasty was due to repeated good luck.

Moreover, in this era where localism was deeply rooted, there were no Zhao soldiers who were truly loyal to the two who were not even from the Zhao Dynasty.

The soldiers inside the castle begin to become agitated as the supply line is cut off.

After much deliberation, Jang Yi decided to send Jin Yeo somewhere else.

“Jin, there is no one I can trust but you.”

Jang Yi said so and ordered Jin Yeo to open a means of escape.

“Yes, sister. Just trust me.”

Jin Yeo boasted like that and left to stabilize the forces outside the castle.

That was the last moment when the two women’s emotions exchanged.

Jin Yeo left Handan and occupied other castles, trying to be of help to Jang Yi.

And her efforts were somewhat effective.

In fact, Jinyeo was able to obtain a new force that could be said to be her base.

But that was the end.

‘It’s impossible.’

Jang Han’s army moves at the speed of a ghost.

It was virtually impossible to break through that vicious siege and save Handan.

‘sister…!’

Jinyeo stamped her feet with a desperate heart, but there was no way she could do anything.

Despite Jang Yi’s frantic request for help, Jin Yeo’s army did not move, and Jang Yi, unable to withstand the pressure, abandoned Handan Castle and fled.

And that was Jang Han’s aim.

“Never kill your enemies!”

Jang Han gave orders to his soldiers.

The soldiers under his command remained loyal to his words this time and watched Zhang Yi’s forces flee.

About 200,000 people and soldiers of Handan fled in the direction led by Zhang Han.

Where they headed was Georok.

It was the place chosen by Jang Han to decide the fate of the Zhao Dynasty.

Jang Han, who occupied Handan, did not even plunder and reassured the remaining residents of Handan.

‘But we can’t leave this place behind.’

Jang Han looked at the walls of Handan and thought.

Handan’s strong defense would certainly be of great help while they occupied it, but there was not enough room to split soldiers to guard this place.

“Burn it!”

Zhang Han tore down the walls of Handan and burned them down, eliminating any reason for other powers to occupy Handan.

As a result, the risk of being isolated by forces appearing in the rear disappeared.

Jang Han left Handan alone and moved north to put pressure on Georok.

The Jin army surrounded Georok in layers.

It was only then that Jang realized that he had become the target of a hunt.

“Jinyeo! Have you forgotten the friendship you and I shared? Have you forgotten the promise to be together in life and death? I could take my heart out and give it to you! Why are you abandoning my trust and hesitating to fight?

Jang Yi hurriedly sent a letter to Jin Yeo.

It was a long letter, but in summary, it meant the following.

‘Are you still my friend? ‘You coward!’

A situation in which their countless friendships and friendships are broken.

Jin Yeo bit her lower lip hard.

Jang-i was her master.

The only master who beats her, molests her, and gives her orders.

She couldn’t leave her ‘sister’ alone, with whom she had shared countless lewd words and actions.

Therefore, Jin Yeo gave Jang Yeom and Jin Taek 5,000 soldiers and ordered them to attack.

But the situation did not improve.

Jang Yeom and Jin Taek charged bravely against Jang Han’s forces, but that was all.

The two generals and the army of 5,000 people just melted away.

“Is that making fun of me?”

Jang stamped his feet in anger.

Only 5,000? What on earth are you going to do with 5,000?!

Are you trying to show off by sending in soldiers and saying that you have done your job?

‘But I can’t sit like this and die!’

Zhang Yi worked hard to control his anger and frantically sent letters to the surrounding feudal lords requesting help.

But no one sent a positive reply.

The Chu army, ruled by Song Yi, was choosing to sit back.

The Qi Dynasty also had no time to advance due to the chaotic internal situation.

And in the case of the Yan Dynasty, it drove Jang Yi even more crazy.

“Who are Hanshin and Goecheol?”

The Yan Dynasty chose to settle down by colluding with people named Hanshin and Goecheol.

The letters they sent were enough to drive Jang Yi crazy.

From Hanshin’s point of view, who has no social skills, he said he was speaking politely, but what kind of crazy person would be so angry after receiving a letter like this?

Zhang Yi threw away the piece of bamboo sent by Han Xin and took a deep breath.

‘Is it all over?’

Jang Yi was in despair.

The Qin army that surrounded them is holding its ground unwaveringly.

All the surrounding feudal lords were silent.

Her lover also chose to turn away.

Food is running out every day.

The pressure is increasing day by day.

‘…’

Jang attempted to end his life by stabbing his neck with a sword.

However, it was that moment.

“Winning prize! Winner’s prize!”

Winner’s prize. A messenger approaches, shouting about Jang Yi’s position.

“What’s going on?”

Zhang Yi hurriedly put down his sword and asked.

“Reinforcement! Reinforcements have arrived!”

“Reinforcement? Where do these soldiers come from?”

Jang Yi asked in a tone of still doubt.

In the past, I had high hopes for reinforcements, but the Great Dynasty sent a small force, watched the situation, and then returned.

“This is the country of Chu!”

The messenger spoke urgently.

“The soldiers of Chu are coming!”

“The State of Chu?”

Jang made a complicated expression.

Even if they were Chu soldiers, what could they do?

The leader there, Hengliang, also lost his life at the hands of Zhang Han, and even Song Yi had his head cut off.

Isn’t the one who is leading the Chu army now a young boy called Wake, who has just entered into a contract?

‘…Are you saying that the army led by that brat is my only hope?’

While sighing, Jang put down his sword.

I hope a miracle happens.

Jang tried to comfort himself and prayed.

Jang Yi bowed his head, praying that Asongi’s army would defeat Jang Han.

*****

“Grass!”

The army of the wake advanced towards Georok.
