I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon

Chapter 372. Repellent transformed into elixir (1)

“Are you okay, Lord?”

Zhuge Liang carefully set down the wine and meat in front of the painter with a dark expression.

“Whoa~ I was preparing my heart, but after sending the two older brothers myself, it’s so complicated that it’s hard to say anything.”

Zhuge Liang cautiously nodded his head, then lifted the bottle.

“Have a drink.”

As Zhuge Liang poured the wine, the painter poured the wine from the glass into his mouth at once.

“Take a drink, too.”

“yes.”

“I am concerned that my actions may have disappointed the macho generals and soldiers.”

“How can General Ma not know that feeling? Furthermore, since receiving grace from the lord, I have been loyal to the lord to the point of being saddened by the second, so please don’t worry.”

When Zhuge Liang mentioned grace, the painter smiled.

When you think about it, that grace is insignificant.

The painter checked the health of Xiliang’s company and longevity in the remaining time, and took the chile leaf detoxifying agent (anthelmintic) developed by Bun-a.

I wanted to have all soldiers take it, but I couldn’t make it in large quantities yet, and I was in the middle of supplying it mainly to the upper line because there was not enough medicine.

In any case, the generals who ate repellents remarkably improved their health, and as a result, their martial arts also improved remarkably.

That turned into loyalty to the fireman.

Moreover, in the case of macho, when he gave even the elixir he had made before, he now went beyond loyalty and began to treat the painter as if he were his teacher.

“As you may have seen, I thought of stepping out even before General Macho fought Hong Yi.”

“I thought the Lord would do that too, but he didn’t. I thought it would be enough to encourage you to surrender since we have a previous relationship.”

“That’s right. But it didn’t.”

“Why did you do that? If they had accepted them as subordinates, our army’s morale would have been boosted and Cao Cao’s morale would have been lowered. And maybe it hurt Jojo too.”

In addition to their skills as generals, the symbolic meaning of Jo Hong and Jo In in Jojo’s camp was great.

Zhuge Liang expressed regret at not being able to use it.

“Why can’t I know that?”

The painter emptied his glass once again.

“But when I saw the two of them, I couldn’t bear to use them as my younger siblings. The two brothers would also become traitors to Joe and be in a position where they would have to point their spears at him… So they didn’t step forward. It made me think that it was really considerate to send her like that to Dori, who became her younger sister.”

“Did you not want them to go down in history as betrayers?”

“I didn’t have that kind of heart.”

“But aren’t they ungrateful people who abandoned the grace they received from the lord?”

“done. If they come under me, it might be good for me for a while, but in the end, there is a lot of room for problems from within. I just didn’t feel like using it. Anyway, I thought it would be better for those who were once brother-in-law to die cleanly as brother-in-law’s subordinates.”

When the painter drank another glass of wine, Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and poured the wine into his glass and drank one himself.

“Sometimes I don’t understand how someone like the main character holds up on this battlefield.”

“That’s right. I don’t know why someone like me is doing this on a battlefield like this.”

Zhuge Liang said with a straight face this time.

“The principal. If I have to say something presumptuous after a long time, the Duke of Zhou is already in charge of 2 million soldiers. It is good to give death as a general in consideration of the relationship and situation of the two generals, Cao Hong and Cao In, but I would like you to consider that in the future they can also be used as a ploy to destroy the enemy.”

“I know very well what you mean. Why did I not have such thoughts? That’s right, you’ll be able to win without killing too many people. But… I don’t want to be so petty. Sometimes how people die is more important than how they live. I was like that to those older brothers and so are you guys. Even the soldiers with me are like that. I don’t want to treat generals and soldiers with words that will throw them all away.”

The painter said the truth while drunk.

As always, he thought of himself as a traveler here. That’s why each and every person who lives here is more precious than anything else.

People who live the world purely even on this fierce battlefield.

The fireman always wanted to protect it. Because I am just a traveler going through this place.

“Zhu Gong.”

Zhuge Liang’s eyes widened.

In order to win the war, we must not choose any means. I’ve been thinking only about that. The preciousness of the people, why don’t you know? The most important thing in wartime was more than efficient victory, and he was gradually forgetting himself.

By the way…

the fireman spoke again.

“Perhaps I, too, may be more than you say if my situation is not going well. However, my heart is still like this.”

Zhuge Liang looked at the fireman with passionate eyes for a moment, then lowered his head.

“I will honor the noble will of Sosin Jugong. I apologize for seeming presumptuously interfering.”

“Oh, it’s because you have an indecisive person like me as your lord, so you have a lot of work to do and it’s difficult.”

“Oh no. don’t say that I’m stupid because I can’t understand the will of the governor.”

“Where in the world is there a soldier like you? I am always grateful to you.”

“I don’t know what to do with the Lord Ju.”

“Because I am lacking, you have to fill that lacking part.”

“I will do my best to support the Jugong.”

Zhuge Liang, perhaps moved by the fireman’s heart, even trembled. Afterwards he drank a few more drinks from the painter and withdrew.

When Zhuge Liang stepped back, the painter filled the glass himself and tilted the glass.

“In the end, will I be aiming for Cao Cao’s position with my own hands?”

And after looking up at the sky, he let out a long sigh.

“Oh… there were a lot of fun things, too.”

You never know who will kill whom, but the times of war were brutal indeed.

* * *

“What!”

Sima Yi’s complexion turned pale as he asked.

“You mean both Generals Cao Hong and Cao Yin are dead? The soldier who came back alive? Who is it?”

“That’s… it doesn’t look like there’s anyone there.”

Sima Yi swallowed dry saliva and sat down on the chair.

This operation was entirely in his head. If even the generals survived, they could share the responsibility for the failure, but if no one came back alive, Jojo’s accusation could be completely poured out on him.

‘Cao Hong and Cao In are excellent generals, but what kind of trap did they all die from? I heard that there are many excellent bookkeepers in the fireman’s camp, so did you read my plan and prepare? under! Anyway, that’s not the problem. This could make my throat run away!’

Although the credit for causing the Gyoju and Yangju to fight was great, Jojo was the only one who was only given the service of the 6th class, the 6th rank, even though he made such a big contribution.

Jojo is infinitely generous to those who have earned his trust, but infinitely heartless to those who do not.

Sima Yi judged that he had not yet gained trust.

‘I’ll have to run away. The news hasn’t reached Jojo yet, so if it’s not now, there’s no chance to live!’

Sima Yi hurriedly put on his beard and changed his clothes, then sneaked out into the back room and hid from the eyes of the officials and soldiers.

Shortly after hiding like that, a group of soldiers rushed in and looked for Sima Yi, but in the end they couldn’t find it and went back.

Sima Yi broke out in a cold sweat after the soldiers disappeared.

If they had come with goodwill, there was no way the soldiers would exude vicious spirit.

‘Soon-wook Sang Seo-ryeong called me, but now that he’s deceased, there’s no one to defend me.’

Sima Yi shook his head after reflecting on his situation in Cao Cao’s camp. There were people who were close to Soon-wook, but they didn’t seem to be defending themselves.

Having made up his mind, he secretly escaped and hid among the people of the castle.

At this time, if you tried to ride a horse out of the castle, there was a high risk of being caught.

* * *

Cao Cao was devastated while Sima Yi hid among the people.

“Hongi and Ini died like this… No matter how well the fireman defended himself, I thought that the two of them would be able to escape.

” .

That’s how well I knew the skills of the two and the ability to improvise when faced with a dangerous situation.

They led ten thousand cavalrymen out and all died, and not a single one returned alive.

“Clearly, our strategy reached the fireman’s ears. Otherwise, I can’t be annihilated like this!”

Jojo looked over at his entourage, who could be said to be those who held important positions.

Since they had been together on the battlefield for a long time, there was no one among them worthy of betrayal. Because of this, he was suspicious of Sima Yi, who was not present.

In fact, Sima Yi’s credit for causing the Jiaoju and Yang Zhu to fight was great, but when he became suspicious, the credit naturally went back to Shunwu’s banner, and Sima Yi was regarded as the one who survived and escaped when everyone died.

It is a long distance from Gyoju to Giju, which takes three months on horseback. And everything in between is the territory of the fireman.

Suspicious, it was not clear how Sima Yi had passed through the territory of Hwabu without any damage and reached Giju.

Could it be the three small plants planted by the painter?

Couldn’t it be because of him that Soon-wook died from the beginning?

I heard all kinds of thoughts.

Of course, since Sima Yi hadn’t arrived yet, everything was just heartbreaking, but already many of his servants, including himself, were suspicious of Sima Yi.

“I searched the residence of the governor, Sima Yi, but couldn’t find it.”

At that time, the subordinate who had gone to pick up Sima Yi came and reported to Cao Cao.

“what! Couldn’t find it?”

“I left your residence and strengthened the inspection in all directions, but I have not been able to find it yet.”

“Hehe, just in case, did you really mean that guy from Sama was Sejak?”

“I don’t know if Sima Yi is Sejak, but it seems that someone already heard the news of the two generals’ deaths before we left and hid them.”

“So it’s a trilogy. How could he know the situation on the battlefield before me?”

“…..”

“You haven’t been able to get out of this castle yet, so strengthen the checkpoint and arrest all those who were close to you.”

“I take orders.”

After the subordinates withdrew, Guo Jia looked at the color of Cao Cao’s face before carefully opening his mouth.

“It is regrettable that the deaths of General Hong and General Yin of Jugong are regrettable, but according to the report of the skirmishers, a large fire broke out in the enemy camp. If the fire is large enough to be seen from a distance, it must have been rice or hay… The deaths of the two generals were not in vain.”

Upon hearing Guo Jia’s words, Cao Cao’s expression softened slightly.

“Whoa~ How could you trade two generals for food or hay? After Soon-wook, they left my side… It looks like their limbs have been cut off.”

“They are true loyalists who sacrifice their lives for their monarch. And we, too, can sacrifice our lives for the lord at any time. If the Lord opens a new world, we can throw away our lives… like stubble.”

When Guo Jia raised the highest example, Cao Cao laughed dejectedly.

“How can I not know your loyalty? It’s just sad and pitiful. Send silk and grain to the bereaved families of the two generals and soldiers to comfort their sorrow.”

“I take orders.”

“Yesterday Sunuk died, and today Cao Hong and Cao In died. And tomorrow you never know who will die.”

“…..”

“But still, I will open a new world.”

“insect! We will be the foundation for the future of the Duke.”

“Thank you. History will forever praise your loyalty.”

Jojo made up his mind and tried to renew the subdued atmosphere.

‘Keueueueu …..’

But inside, he was about to lose his mind from enduring a terrible headache.

‘My headache is getting worse!’

In front of his subordinates and ahead of the war, he was barely holding on so as not to appear weak, but he wanted to be spit on and lie down right away.
