NOVEL NEXT chapter 199
199 – Geum Taeyang, the thief (8)
“Who is the most outstanding general?”
Those who know about history will have different names for each person.
But we do not want to discuss the past.
We want to talk about the present and about those who have an immediate impact on our lives.
“For now, we will limit it to those in Jingzhou.”
Those who are currently alive in this era.
And someone who can influence Jingju, where we are currently living.
“If you were to ask me about this, I would definitely choose the yellow swan.”
“sympathy.”
“agreement.”
“The emperor is acknowledged.”
The most outstanding general in Jingzhou is definitely Emperor Huang Zu.
No rebuttal is accepted.
“Even if you can’t ask him for a hundred, he is a general who will do eight if you ask him for six to seven.”
“There are no cases where he suddenly runs out alone.”
“They don’t even run away from the enemy.”
“A general who does his best to follow any given order, no matter what order he is given, even if it is not honorable, even if the military skill is low. He is truly the ideal general for a strategist.”
He is the one who best possesses the general’s capabilities that a strategist desires from a general.
The most necessary competency for an outstanding general that a manager desires is ‘mission performance ability.’
-No, I definitely would have told you to wait in the canyon and cut off the head of the enemy enemy that came to you?
-Cut my head. I could not bear to abandon the favor I had received from the enemy commander.
-I’ll cut off your head right away. Hey, bring the military commander!
-Wait, teacher! That general is the sworn brother of our Duke of Zhou!
-Ay, sir-
How well can a strategist execute the plan he or she has made most sincerely and without any variables?
Hwangjo has already shown considerable ability.
Killing Sun Jian was not a fluke, and Sun Yu and I, who were at the Sujing Academy at the time, and young Sima Yi accepted the strategies and achieved victory against Sun Jian.
Faith in tact.
The courage to not run away even in unfavorable situations.
The leadership ability that calmed the soldiers who were confused despite Sun Jian’s pursuit.
It is somewhat unfortunate that Ilsin’s military power is weak, but there is still no general that a strategist can trust and entrust his soldiers to like Hwangjo.
“Mr. Jingun. If you were a tactical staff member, would you order a general with the temperament of Lü Bu or a general with the abilities of the Yellow Emperor?”
“Yellow bird.”
Jin shook his head as if he was shaking.
“No matter how brilliant a tactic a strategist may say, if there are no generals to execute it, the tactics derived from this brilliant mind will only become idle talk.”
“Even though it has Lu Bu-level abilities?”
“Because it’s Lü Bu. If I only think about one-on-one fighting, I would choose Baek Lü Bu, but if I were to choose an excellent general, I would choose Hwangjo.”
“yes.”
The capabilities required for an excellent general are different from those of a military officer.
but.
“But Hwangjo is a unique case, and most people choose someone like Lü Bu.”
“If someone like Lu Bu just listens to you, he will become a great general and an invincible general.”
It’s not follicle.
Sleeping like Yeopo.
“If you are a good listener, Master Jin, what do you think?”
“A being with abilities like Lu Bu listens to orders well? Then he must be a military officer so outstanding that he will be famous for thousands of years. To the point where he is comparable to the audience and the evil.”
Lu Bu’s military power, and the intelligence of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Seo Seo, and Jinjun who assist him.
Everyone can’t help but think.
When the strongest force and the best intellect come together, true power is unleashed.
“Then, a braggart like a yellow bird, a brat like Lu Bu. Which of the two would you choose?”
“Of course, a dick like Yeo Bu. Not Yeo Bu, but someone who has abilities similar to Yeo Bu, but who even listens to what I say!”
Everyone will admit it.
If you are a general, first of all, ‘strength as a soldier’ is important.
“Once you have strong military power, your leadership skills are usually excellent. You can control your soldiers with your strength.”
“If you don’t listen, you can just hit me with your fist.”
“There are actually generals who rule like that.”
It is not a question of whether the method of leading soldiers with fists is right or wrong.
First of all, a warrior with great power tends to have mediocre leadership skills in most cases.
“The goals of this martial arts competition are very diverse, but this is the goal that will have the deepest effect.”
Find the hidden strongman.
Find the hidden drone.
You can find a warrior whose name was unknown until now, who was not active on the battlefield and only trained soldiers, or who wandered around the world and finally arrived in Jingju and tried to settle down while showing off his martial arts!
“With this, we can find longevity.”
Already from the thirty-two rivers, some of the talents of generals have begun to be revealed.
From the sixteenth round, which can be considered the final round, generals in official positions such as Hwangchung and Gamnyeong directly contacted the eliminated participants.
And Palgang.
Of the thousand people who participated in the preliminary round, only eight survived.
With so many warriors so strong that even Seo failed from the Sixteen Rivers, I was able to look into each and every aspect of the martial artists who advanced to the eight rivers through Seo.
These are excellent military officers.
If you serve as a commander for about a year, learn how to lead a unit, and excel in government positions, you will be able to form and command a unit of at least 3,000 men and carry out your duties.
Two virtues necessary for longevity.
Leadership and force.
Among them, the easiest way to find those who are strong is through martial arts competitions!
“First of all, it’s Gamnyeong, a strong candidate for the championship.”
As a result, Gamnyeong’s name was listed in one of the brackets.
“Master, you already know his strength better than anyone else. When Noibak and Jinran first attacked Shinya, he proved his inaction by charging into the enemy camp from the front and wiping out dozens of enemy soldiers.”
“That’s right. If there is a general with the ability to ignore the tactics of the tactical staff, I would pick Gamnyeong.”
All generals must move according to the stratagem of the strategist.
However, sometimes, an unfavorable situation that cannot be reversed by a tactician can be overturned depending on the tactical judgment of an individual general.
A being with the same power as an anti-aircraft beast.
If there is such a thing, I would definitely choose Gamnyeong first in Jingju.
“Although he tends to be somewhat feisty and free-spirited….”
“It’s okay if it’s good enough. And don’t you act kindly and politely towards those you recognize?”
Otherwise, the royal family would have changed their clothes by now.
“Is it eighteen houses on the Yangtze River? They say they have captured the enemies there and are now mentally remodeling them into sailors. Gamnyeong’s ability has been sufficiently proven. If it is at Gamnyeong’s level, tactics must be planned according to Gamnyeong’s ability.”
One of the favorites to win, Gamnyeong.
“…He’s a really good general to block enemies coming up the Yangtze River.”
With Gamnyeong’s abilities, it is quite possible.
And the next favorite.
“What about old man Hwangchong?”
“I don’t know of any specific majors. I’m afraid…”
“…Of course, he is a little older, but you have personally seen him lead the reinforcements.”
“He has a lot of experience, so you could say he is a very accomplished general. Even though he doesn’t have a major.”
I have no major.
I know this because I spoke with him in person, but he wanted to establish a high level of expertise as a military ‘general’.
The reason he bothered to participate in the martial arts competition this time was probably because he wanted to make his name known through the martial arts competition.
Next candidate for the championship.
Surprisingly, it was… .
“Weiyeon is stronger than you think?”
“Yes. They say he’s so strong that you can’t think of him as an ordinary soldier.”
“A person who was thought to be a soldier turned out to be a special general.”
Wiyeon is a stronger military commander than expected.
In order to survive, a rural farmer from a small village in the northern part of Jingzhou entered the Jingzhou Northern Defense Army – the predecessor of the Xinya Army – as a soldier, was recognized for his abilities, and was promoted to the so-called Baekinjang (百人將), leading about 100 cavalrymen.
Both Zhuge Liang and I felt uneasy because we thought he would not listen well, but it was still an undeniable fact that Wei Yan was a strong general.
We couldn’t decide on superiority or inferiority, but that was now the bigger problem.
“…Then you guys.”
I carefully held up the sign allowing me to participate in the competition.
“Who do you want to bet on?”
Gamnyeong, Hwangchung, Wiyeon.
…who is the winner?
* * *
“after.”
Who will you bet on?
It really made my head spin.
Zhuge Liang, Seo Seo, and Pang Tong all three voted for their ideal general.
In other words, they each also risked a very small amount of gold.
‘I have to walk too.’
Who will you bet on?
I’m worried.
“Today is the finals….”
“Is it your hobby to go out alone early in the morning and think?”
I turned my head when I heard a familiar voice coming from afar.
There, Joun in plain clothes was coming towards me.
“Are you having trouble sleeping?”
“Why are you sleeping?”
“I was wondering if I woke up at this hour for no reason.”
“I was meditating for a moment. I just came out because I heard a noise outside.”
Before the rooster crows at dawn.
Jaune sat across from me at the desk in the garden.
“What are you worried about?”
“It’s a bit difficult to say this in front of the parties involved, but I haven’t decided yet who to bet on. Of course, the executioner would have bet on me.”
This competition.
It is possible to bet on yourself.
“Teacher, who do you think will win?”
“To be honest, judging from what I’ve seen so far, I’m impressed…”
Jaune twisted the corner of his mouth towards me.
It was like an ‘I don’t know what’ face, which made me a little irritated.
“Executioner. Are you strong?”
“If you’re strong, you’re strong.”
“Do you have any accomplishments that reflect your fighting prowess? In the case of Gamnyeong, you went among 10,000 bandits in a short period of time, wiped out dozens of enemies, and made the bandit commander run away. They were men named Noebak and Jinran. They held high positions in Yunsul County. These are the people who did it.”
“hmm.”
Jaune rubbed his chin in agony.
I don’t know what the beardless guy was thinking, but I decided not to interrupt his thoughts.
Anyway, the inaction that Jo Woon showed in Yeo Nam-
“In the past, when I was under Duke Gongsun Zan, I urgently sent out troops as reinforcements. When a massacre occurred in Western Zhou, I once dispatched troops as reinforcements requested by Duke Taoqian to Gongsun Zan’s army.”
“……for a moment.”
A memory suddenly comes to mind.
“Perhaps when Lü Bu hit Cao Cao in the back of the head at Fuyang?”
“Oh, that’s right. At that time, I went to Xuzhou with Duke Liu Bei as reinforcements. Duke Liu Bei stayed in Xuzhou and I returned to Gongsun Zan.”
“I see. I also met Lord Liu Bei before. He asked me to help him.”
“The same goes for me. He asked me to help him someday when the time comes.”
Did that man also flirt with the military commander in Gongsun Chan’s army?
“……huh?”
Something.
Something from the letters I exchanged with Sunwook began to come to mind.
For sure….
“Weren’t you wearing silver armor by any chance?”
“It was like that at the time. Now I’ve returned it. Although I’ll never be able to wear it again. You seem to know me well, but why didn’t you know when I said I was Sangsan’s Jo Ja-ryong?”
“No, I didn’t know it was Sangsan’s Jo Ja-ryong…”
It’s just that there was one more general who was comparable to Guan Yu and Zhang Zhang.
“…Could it be, Cho? What would happen if you fight with Gwanunjang and Jang Ik-deok?”
I grabbed the mark in my arms.
“Those two.”
Eat.
“As long as I have a weapon of a similar level to them, at least I won’t lose even if we draw.”
Jopo is here.
