Episode 209. People are power

“yes. There is a foolish son who watched his father die and went through the same process of dying. How would your mother feel when she sees that?”
It was only then that the painter realized what she was anxious about.
It is heartbreaking that her husband died, but she is worried that her son will suffer a similar situation in the future.
The painter thought to himself about the future of Sun Ce.
He travels around the battlefield for about the next 7 years and occupies most of the Gangdong and Gangnam areas, but unfortunately he is attacked by raiders and dies. And after that, his younger brother Sun Quan became a feudal lord and eventually founded the Wu Dynasty.
“But mother. How can a son not avenge his father?”
At that time, Sun Ce intervened and refuted her mother’s words.
“I might die while avenging that enemy.”
“There is no guarantee that you will be safe just because you do not take revenge and just crouch down. I’m sure one of the many feudal lords is aiming for Gangdong here. If you don’t prepare, you will be killed without doing anything. In order to prevent that from happening, we must develop our strength and avenge our enemies. mother.”
“Ha~. How can you…”
The painter sneaked in, thinking that the quarrel between the two mothers might hurt their feelings.
“My mother needs absolute peace right now, so talk about that later. And go out for a while I’m going to teach my mother some exercises so she doesn’t fall down again.”
“I see.”
Sun Ce said goodbye to the two mothers and went out.

Jegalgeun followed the fireman, but could not enter the main house. It is because he, who is not a member of the parliament, is not reluctant to go inside and look around.
Jegalgeun looked around to pass the time.
When I arrived at the parade ground after walking about half-and-a-half, I saw generals and soldiers training.
Jegalgeun himself learned both studies and martial arts at the same time, and at one time thought of entering the service even as a military commander.
Jegalgeun, who had been watching the training for a while, tilted his head involuntarily.
“Usually, when a feudal lord dies and his son succeeds in becoming a feudal lord, morale goes down, but these people are not like that. Is this why Sunjia’s soldiers are called tigers? But I don’t know who ordered it, but the training is too lopsided.”
“What is biased?”
At that time, a little boy sitting under the shade of a tree about 10 steps away turned his head with a questioning expression on whether he had heard Jegalgeun’s words.
Zhuge Kun found out that the kid’s outfit was that of a Sangju like Sun Ce, and he knew why he was interested.
I wondered if I needed to say something like this because I was a kid, but it wasn’t a big deal anyway, so I opened my mouth.
“Look at those drills. Overall, it’s assault-oriented.”
“Shouldn’t we charge when a fight breaks out?”
“That’s true, but when you practice, you have to charge, but you also have to learn how to retreat. And how to regroup after retreating, how to lure the enemy while pretending to retreat, etc. The battlefield is like a living organism, so you have to train with various situations in mind.”
“Hmm~. I hear and see.”
“If you just practice charging like that, it’s good when you win, but you won’t be able to properly deal with it when you lose or when you fall into a trap dug by the opponent. tsk tsk look at that At the very least, if it is difficult to break through, you should be able to split your troops and make a detour, but they just try to break through.”
Looking at the place where Jegalgeun pointed with his finger, the little boy unconsciously nodded and frowned.
“I see. When the force is concentrated only in the front like that, if we turn the troops who are wandering around from behind to the side, we can win big.”
“yes. Seeing that you understand me right away, you must be pretty smart.”
“It’s not that bad. By the way, I think I’m seeing you for the first time. Who are you?”
“This is Jegalgeun from Nangya-gun as a member of Congressman Hwabu’s group.”
“Oh~. Master Hwa has arrived.”
The little boy who was sitting in the shade jumped up.
“But who are you?”
“Ah, I am Son Kwon. In the past, Master Eo-sang-nim healed me of a serious problem.”
As Son Kwon ran toward the anchae, Jegalgeun turned his head and looked at the parade ground.
Involuntarily, in my head, I pictured what I would do if I trained them myself.
food.
A moment of laughter came out.
In order to change the military’s training method at will, he had to be in a position where he could speak directly to the general or the general.
‘I haven’t even become a sikgaek yet. Tsk.’

Sun Quan greeted the fireman and greeted his mother, who was now at peace.
“The sadness of losing a family member is not only your mother’s sorrow, but the common sorrow of all mothers living in this era.”
When the painter opened his mouth with a complicated expression, Sun Quan let out a long sigh.
“It has become a world where you die if you do not prepare for a fight. What should I do? You have to fight and win and subjugate your enemies to reduce that kind of sadness.”
“What’s wrong? Anyway, you’ve grown a lot while I haven’t seen you. Now you can call me the in-house captain.”
“It still has to grow a lot. A while ago, I met a man named Jegalgeun at the parade ground. They say they are Master Hwa’s company. What kind of people are they?”
“He is a well-educated person who excels in the art of war. I brought your brother to make a recommendation because he is recruiting talented people.”
“Oh~. That’s why you have such great insight.”
“How do you know that your knowledge is excellent? Have you ever talked to him?”
“yes. I was watching the soldiers training at the parade ground, and after a quick look, they told me about our soldiers’ weaknesses.”
“If you have Jegalgeun, you have the ability.”
“I will tell my brother and tell him to use him seriously.”
“I think I went to the parade ground when I was treating you earlier… Then, even though we couldn’t have talked for a long time, you must have liked it quite a bit?”
“Until now, I have never seen a Jija with such insight. Then I will go see my brother.”
“Yes. yes.”
“Mom, I’ll go see you.”
When Sun Quan left, the painter also greeted the two wives and left.
Jegalgeun, who received the recommendation of the painter and Sun Quan, first became a vassal of the Sun family.
Although he did not receive a government post right away, he will be given a position if he gradually reveals his abilities.
While Jegalgeun took his place as Songa’s vassal, the fireman gave Mrs. Oh regular exercise to manage her health, and also treated injured soldiers and nearby patients, preparing to return.

‘Even if a tiger cub is young, it takes an instant for it to grow into a mother tiger and bite its teeth. I have to cut the buds before that.’
When Liu Biao’s mother-in-law, Kai Liang, heard that Sun Ce was widely recruiting talent in Jiangjiang, he was horrified.
Liu Biao, the master, ignores Sun Ce because he is young, but the monster cannot be ignored.
He hurriedly went to Liu Biao and made a request to attack Sun Ce again, but was rejected again, just like the last time.
The monster who stepped away from Liu Biao let out a big sigh without realizing it.
“Ha~. How can you be so stupid? Waiting for a young beast to grow up… What should I do with this…
”
Just then, the longevity lady approached.
In this war, Gong Yeo was a general who was credited with beheading Sun Jian thanks to faithfully following Kai Liang’s plan. Because of that ball, his position was raised to the point where it could be said to be absolute.
“General Yeo.”
“Are you feeling very upset that your lord didn’t accept the bookkeeper’s request?”
“It is really frustrating. How could the enemy wait for him to grow up?”
“I am really frustrated too. But, librarian. How many troops will you be able to catch Son Ce?”
Gogong’s eyes twinkled at the woman’s question.
Although Liu Biao ignored his words, he thought that maybe he would listen to the words of the first-class contributor in this war.
“Since they have retreated as robbers and are receiving condolences… 3,000 cavalry will be enough.”
“yes! You mean you can catch Sun Ce with just 3,000 cavalry?”
“yes. Robbers have a mountain behind them and a large river flows in front of them, so if they can cross the river without getting caught, they can use firearms to achieve great results.”
“Are you a painter? It’s a river, but is the chemical industry integrated?”
“Because it is late autumn, it is a good time to burn reeds and silver grass along the river. If we can send a small number of soldiers to fight and lure them there, we can kill more than 5,000 soldiers at once.”
After killing more than 5,000 soldiers, it was the female captain who was able to catch Son Ce with 3,000 cavalrymen who were fine.
“Five thousand all at once… good. I will have a private meeting with the lord.”
Gong Yeo had a private meeting with Liu Biao that night, and three thousand cavalrymen were allowed to go out.
Goe-ryang smiled bitterly when Liu Pyo, who had not been allowed to do so even though he had made such a request, readily accepted the request of the female worker.
‘To not listen to the counselor and listen to the longevity… Ehh~. Did I meet the wrong owner? It’s virtuous, but isn’t it a vessel to contain the world?’
Goe-ryang joined the army of Yeo-gong, who was going out the next day, and went to robbery.

After Sun Ce hit Zhuge Kun with a gas brush, he actively accepted his opinion and changed the training method of the soldiers.
The general and the soldiers were puzzled when the training method suddenly changed, but when Jegalgeun explained, they naturally agreed.
Sun Ce, who was watching the soldiers training in a different way from a slightly elevated hill in the parade ground, smiled wryly as he watched the training that kept getting confused and twisted.
“You can see the soldiers’ feet getting twisted here as well.”
“It’s the first time, so it’s like that. These are well-trained soldiers, so you’ll get used to them in a few days.”
“How many days will it be?”
“yes. It will be.”
“By the way, what is that thing you’re holding from earlier?”
“Oh this. This is a map.”
When Jegalgeun unfolded the bamboo stick, he saw a map showing Gangdo’s surrounding mountains and rivers.
“It’s a robber’s map. This place isn’t even a battlefield… The landmarks are marked very clearly.”
“Whether on the battlefield or not, you must always be aware of the terrain around you.”
“Is that so? Well, there’s nothing wrong with preparing like that. But why are the reeds around the river painted with flames?”
“I marked this place because it is suitable for using a fire at a time like these days.”
“Oh~. If you lure the enemy into the reed field and set fire to it from all sides, you will be able to inflict great damage at once.”
“yes.”
“By the way, what does the arrow marked on the river mean?”
“If the enemy were to invade, it was thought that land and water routes would be appropriate for an ambush because the land route would have to cross the mountain, and that it would be possible to inflict great damage by breaking the bridge and shooting an arrow since the water route could pass through a bridge or use a boat. It is.”
As Sun Ce listened to Zhuge Kun’s explanation, he could feel the need for an excellent strategist in warfare.
If it had been his father, he would have chosen to fight by charging into the enemy camp rather than attacking with fire or arrows.
“Ha~. If there had been someone like Zhuge Liu when fighting Liu Biao… my father might not have died.”
