Itaya and Liu Bang, and Tanaka.

Song Yi's orders were to leave more than a thousand soldiers in the castle, and the latter to quickly run to Peng Castle.

"We're going to save the castle, prevent pursuits, and earn time with a few. It's a reasonable strategy."

In order to prepare for the retreat, I will return to my room and gather a small load while listening to the guard.

"The few who protect the castle....."

I stop my hand, and I hear what I know.

You're definitely dead.

There are no words in the answer as expected.

"It's essential to survive. Minimal sacrifice."

The guard is calm, but somehow satisfied.

…………

This is the fight.

This is the strategy.

I understand.

It has been years since I came to ancient China, and I participated in several battles.

I was made to appreciate the weight of my life.

I might sacrifice others to help people close to me, such as Tayoshi and Mon Lin. No, I'm sure he'll be like that.

I know that this lump in my chest is selfish hypocrisy.

"I'll do the same under my command."

I can hear the guard, but I don't want to talk about it right now.

"Do you know anything about Takeshin-kun?"

I changed the subject in order to mislead anger and self-aversion that no one would ever see.

The lack of expression of the Guardian's face becomes even more distant because of the diversion of the topic from his good strategic theory.

"There's no information in the escort, just like me. It's just a question of asking."

So abusive he began to speak indifferently.

"It seems that at night, Takeshin-kun often climbed the castle wall alone. Last night, it started raining in the middle of the night, and I wonder if it slipped my feet."

I suppose it would be if I thought about it normally, but no one would believe it.

"It's still natural to think that it was handled by Zhang Handan."

As the Qin army approaches, it falls and dies too unnaturally. Everyone suspects an assassination.

Nobunaga was proud to be a Chu man.

In historical reality, he defeated and died fighting Zhang Han.

I can't believe it fell off the walls and died.

What did you think while you were falling?

You can't die even if you're dead.

Was that what I thought?

"But it is true that the Qin army is on its way, whether this murder was caused by Zhang Han or not. If you can't fight, you'd better leave now."

The tone of the Guardian's other HR personnel is really irritating.

"I know."

I saw the guard with a strong eye.

Nodal beam death.

I came here to avoid it.

Have you done something more than something meaningless?

It is taunted by the memories of the wandering, disobedient to the flow, and ridiculed by history.

It swirls like a river of doubt, haste, and regret in your head.

The guard stares at me cold.

He turned his back to leave the interrupted room, but turned to me as if he remembered something.

"As Tanaka-san said, the Lord is about to change. This may open our way. Thank you."

I...

"... I didn't do anything, that's not what I meant to say."

The guard's words and his creepy smile froze his spine.

◇ ◇ ◇

"You seem really confused.... even if it's a trap."

Zhang Man, who watched the castle of Dingcero, while feeling distrustful about the small number of guards, ordered him to attack the castle.

As Zhang Handan predicted, there was nothing like a trap, but a castle of ceramic that fell without a clumsiness.

Zhang Man, searching for the truth about this lack of resistance, interrogates the captured Chu soldier.

"What happened here?"

The tied and kneeling Chu soldier spit instead of answering.

However, it did not reach Zhang Han, who was a simple man but was wearing good quality armor, but only wet the ground.

Zhang Man, who was shown a strong will not to break his mouth, exhaled, waved his hand and lowered Chu soldiers, and raised another Chu soldier.

Chu soldier's mouth made some stains on the soil, but when I could not tell how many people, a soldier who spared his life gradually appeared to know the truth.

"Nobel beam is dead?

He fell from the walls and became an unspeakable wreckage.

And it was rumored that it was an assassination by Zhang Han's hand. Chu soldier who trembled said with a lowly smile.

Zhang Han, who had no idea, was stunned, but he stared at Chu soldier without showing it to his face.

"Hey, I didn't say that! Well, there's a rumor. That kind of rumor...."

It should be a pleasure to see that Nomenclature, which was the biggest enemy at present, is no longer working hard.

However, I felt the bad aftertaste of the siege and my unexpected rumors.

"I won't take my life as promised. Go wherever you go."

Zhang Han told the frightened Chu soldier.

After speaking out, I was deeply surprised that my voice contained unexpected anger.

After coughing up one thing, Zhang Han ordered the surrounding men to lower Chu's soldier who had cut his mouth.

"Chase the retreating Chu army. Don't go too deep."

Tracking down the already abandoned battalion will not yield much.

Zhang Man was thinking of something else while instructing him to chase.

I didn't even think of an assassination method.

However, I remembered the strong sense of repudiation in thinking of the spiralling Xianyang palace of the number of masterpieces, and I think that I had unconsciously excluded that option.

― ― From the outside, I would be seen as one of them. No, the dog that runs after the eunuch.

Zhang Man scratches his chin and laughs at his present situation.

But there was a strong will in his eyes.

--But dogs are also shy.

As a samurai, as a general. I keep weighing my vessels.

Zhang Man, who wanted a new enemy for that purpose, stared at the cloudy northwestern sky.

Next is Zhao.
