I Reincarnated as a Legendary Surgeon

Episode 260. Winning a war only when people are acquired (1)

The painter entrusted his disciples with the operation of Liu Bei’s brother-in-law, but he himself could not participate.

Being the interim commander-in-chief, I couldn’t afford to be in the operating room.

‘Now that everyone has good skills, they’ll do well.’

The fireman glanced at the operating room where he would be operating for a while and then moved to the operation room.

Since most of the soldiers were engaged in blocking the entrance of Sopae Castle and clearing out the fleeing enemies, the entire barracks was quiet and only the doctors treating the patients were busy.

Walking into the tent of the operation room, Zhuge Liang, surrounded by the deputy commanders, had a slightly troubled expression on his face, and then greeted the fireman enthusiastically.

“Commander. welcome.”

“Have you come?”

“Come on, Hwa Temporary Commander, I’ve been waiting for you.”

When the fireman entered, the two governors and Yang Guk-gu’s statue did not get up from their seats with rugged expressions, but only nodded their heads.

Watching the attitude of the three people become more and more arrogant, the painter said calmly, suppressing the anger boiling inside.

“I can’t see Commander Jin. Where have you been?”

“After falling off a horse, I went to the military doctor’s room to get treatment because my back and knees hurt.”

The painter nodded as if he understood Zhuge Liang’s answer.

It was only natural that he was injured after falling off the horse. However, the reason why the pain came after such a long time was because the muscles that were tense at the time were finally released.

“It will get better in a few days…. Anyway, why do the deputy commanders look so rugged?”

“I heard a little while ago that you captured the enemy commander?”

The awards of the two countries were the first to open their mouths.

“The strategy of the four Zhuge soldiers succeeded wonderfully, and General Zhang Goe and General Haman captured the enemy generals who had fallen into a trap.”

“Why are you treating an enemy general you’ve worked so hard to catch? Shouldn’t we treat our dying allies first?”

“Allies are being treated by the members of the council.”

“They say that those who heal the enemy commander are the disciples of the temporary commander. Why are the best members of the council being used to treat people like that?”

It’s exactly the same thing as asking me to give you a bundle because I saved the dead.

The painter thought for a moment and thought about what he would do. I am confident that I can suppress them all in this place. I’m just holding back because I think things will get a little more difficult after that.

‘Let’s watch a little longer.’

The fruit is tasteless if picked when unripe.

The fireman put on a calm expression while gently suppressing the irritation rising up inside him.

“Actually, Liu Bei’s brother-in-law is close to both me and my students. So I made him heal.”

“You made them heal the current enemy generals with an old friendship? Is that what you are supposed to do as a temporary commander in charge of the crew?”

“The orders I gave to my disciples seem implausible at first glance. However, they are not ordinary soldiers, but commanders who have the position of a small commander. I did this because saving lives is worth more than killing them, so please understand.”

“No matter how useful it is, there are priorities and priorities in work, and there are rules.”

Warak.

The fireman unknowingly let out the emotions he had been holding back and growled lowly.

“Who decides the weight? Are you generals who led the defeat here, or am I the commander who defeated the opponent with a small army? Can you take responsibility for what you say!”

When the fireman suddenly changed his expression and spoke in a low-spirited voice, the commanders cleared their throats as if embarrassed.

Zhuge Liang watched as if he was having fun, and the painter immediately relaxed his expression again.

“What are you so tight about? Above all, am I not in a position to be reprimanded by you? Temporarily, but commander. Please don’t criticize me like a cat and mouse for letting me treat only three patients first.”

When the fireman’s tone softened again, one of the statues cheered up again and shouted.

“What? If you made a mistake, you should apologize and think about making amends… Where are you being arrogant?

Taang.

At that moment, the fireman hit the table with the map open with his palm.

“To whom did the three deputy commanders apologize for the deaths of so many soldiers due to mistakes in judgment they had committed so far? And how did you get it right?”

“Kuhmm that’s…”

“The reason I called you to the conference room is to discuss how to attack the small planet. There is no other reason. If you take that part one more time, it will be ruled by military law.”

“…..”

The painter thought about emphasizing the value of Liu Bei’s sworn brother by adding a few words, but gave up. The persuasion itself to make them understand was becoming more and more irritating.

“Okay. I think we went a little too far, so let’s start with the meeting. I want you to stop Judeok-sang too.”

When the fireman’s momentum was sharp, Jeong Tae-soo hurriedly changed the atmosphere.

“Kerham that’s right. Let’s have a meeting.”

“All right. Then, please tell us what you think about how we can lock the door and capture the small fortress without damage to our allies as much as possible.”

“There are only a few thousand enemy soldiers remaining in the small palace, so how about just pushing through with force?”

“There may be few troops, but the castle is strong, so if you push with force, you will have no choice but to suffer great damage.”

“How can there be no damage in capturing the castle? There will be some damage, but if you want to capture it quickly, with superior troops all at once…”

The fireman glanced at Zhuge Liang while listening to the opinions of the three people.

Zhuge Liang also let out a long sigh openly as if he was quite frustrated.

‘I’m frustrated too, but how much more frustrated can you be? But be patient. I’ll clean up the interest soon.’

Hwabu listened to the opinions of the three sub-commanders in one ear and passed them out in the other, contemplating how to attack the castle.

‘It’s a small number, but it’s a solid castle that even Jojo-gun couldn’t overcome…. What can’t be good? Liu Bei’s sworn brother would know his weakness, but he wouldn’t tell me.’

After undergoing surgery, Liu Bei and Guan Yu wake up and see the equipment shedding tears, realizing that they almost died but came back to life.

“I thought I would never see my brothers.”

“Did Congressman Hwa treat Wu and me?”

“No, your disciples cured me.”

“That’s right. I should say thank you, but where are they?”

“I’m in the military room, and there are so many injured people that I can’t even get close to them because they’re treating them like crazy.”

“Well, since it’s a battlefield, you must be busy without a break.”

“You’re so busy without rest, but you treated us, the enemy generals, first! As expected, I can’t measure the person of the Congressman.”

When Guan Yu admired it, Zhang Fei sighed and shook his head.

“Because of that personality, you are now in a very embarrassing situation.”

“Are you in trouble? Haha, even if I were a general of a defeated army, I would hate it if I healed the enemy general first, even though there are still more allies to heal.”

“Yes. In the past, I was not included in any camp, so I treated the wounded regardless, but now I am under the umbrella of the defeated army.”

“In addition, Congressman Hwa has become the commander-in-chief, albeit temporarily. So during the meeting, the deputy commanders said they took a big book.”

Liu Bei and Guan Yu’s faces showed surprise and apologetic looks at Zhang Fei’s words.

The person who leaked this information to Jang-gi was the executive envoy who nursed him, and he was on Eulji’s orders.

“The interim commander-in-chief is Congressman Hwa?”

“yes.”

“Then did we fight with Congressman Hwa’s army all this time?”

“If Congressman Hwa had been the commander from the beginning, would he have fought with us? They must have sent someone in advance to make peace, or they would have attacked another castle.”

“I guess so. If I had known that Congressman Hwa was a soldier, I would have sent someone first.”

“Rep. Hwa was conscripted as an army surgeon because he lived in Chohyeon, which belongs to a defeated country. Then, as the defeat in the war deepened, Yeopo and Ugeum…”

Equipment continued the story of Hwabu becoming the temporary commander.

Hearing the equipment’s words, the two opened their eyes wide in surprise.

“Then you became the interim commander just a few days ago.”

“yes. So, without even having time to send an envoy to us, we became a substitute for the war.”

“Right. If that’s the case, there’s nothing you can do about it. By the way, treating us made it difficult… I’m sorry.”

“Iknow, right. By the way, what are we going to do now?”

“How will it be? Since it is a defeat field in the war, life and death will be determined by the will of the victorious army. It seemed that he would not kill it, seeing as it would cure him and keep him alive.”

“If it were Senator Hwa, he wouldn’t kill us.”

“I don’t think you’re just going to let go, though?”

“I guess so. I barely became the governor of Sopaeseong and got the foundation… but it’s at the bottom again!”

Liu Bei realized her situation and shed tears.

The meaning in his heart was that he was in the position of an eagle with broken wings. And although he survived through surgery, it was questionable whether he would be able to recover because he roughly remembered how much he had been injured.

“Tongue brother. Don’t be too heartbroken. There is a day when the sun will shine even in the hole of the mouse. Someday… We will have a chance.”

“If you see the sun in a rat hole, it is a rat hole. It cannot be a tiger’s den or a bear’s den.”

“Tongue brother.”

As tears flowed from Liu Bei’s eyes, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also burst into tears. I lived well, but my situation was very pitiful.

After three days had passed since generals and soldiers began catching and bringing back defeated soldiers who had escaped or hid, the iron bars confining the prisoners were so full that no one could fit them in anymore. So the rest of the captives had to be weaved together like gulbi, gathered in the field, and watched.

“How many prisoners have you captured so far?”

To the fireman’s question, Zhuge Liang peeked into the ledger and answered.

“The number of people counted a moment ago is 12,803.”

“Quite a lot. Then, how many of them applied for conversion to become the defeated army?”

“Five hundred and two.”

“Three days have passed, is that all?”

Zhuge Liang’s answer surprised the painter.

In the past, the soldiers of Cheongju, who were captured as prisoners of war in Caojo’s army, were converted by thousands every day.

Although the sake bottle at that time was yellow-turban-like, the difference was too great.

“The period of captivity has not been long yet, and the loyalty shown by the commander and soldiers to Liu Bei’s sworn brothers is stronger than expected.”

“True, Liu Bei’s brother-in-law is amazing. No matter how loyal they are, there are only 502 of them…”

“The bond between soldiers who have gone through life and death together for a long time is not something that can be easily cut.”

At that time, Woo Jin intervened in the conversation between Hwabu and Zhuge Liang.

“Captain Wu.”

“Would you believe it if I told you that I was going to the Congressman, and there were over a thousand underlings who would follow me even if they took off their military uniform?”

“At that time, there were quite a few people like that, so my brother Cho tied up Jebuk-gun and sent it to Dong-gun.”

“It is comradeship that makes even greedy Jojo give up. If you are a low-level soldier, it will not be easy to appease soldiers with a certain level of rank.”
