(a)

You watched Yang Biao's back disappear outside the door of the big tent.

You hear him talking to Wu Shun after he came out of the account.

You hear him get on the horse.

You hear the sound of his horse's hooves ringing rapidly, fading away.

You pick up the tea on the table by yourself, pour yourself another one, and drink it all.

You know in your heart that that thing will still happen.

However, you're not going to deal with it for Liu Shen.

You know, judging from Yang Biao's sweat, when that incident happens, Liu Shen can completely handle it by himself.

You can only sigh secretly in your heart for Yang Biao, a man with such outstanding military talent.

(b)

Later, it was often said that you were the first to remind Liu Shen that you wanted to control Yang Biao's arrogance and arrogance to evolve into arrogance, and to control the Han army, so as not to make the army too powerful and suppress the king.

However, you did remind Yang Biao many times at the same time, not to overstep his identity and breed delusions, and reminded him to always respect Liu Shen, keep a clear head, and understand what kind of place the army's strength can only be used.

You have fulfilled the friendship of friends on both sides, and you have told both sides how to avoid disagreements and bring disaster to the world.

Liu Shen did what you expected of him later, and he promised me.

After the war, he did not perform the drama of hiding the good bow and cooking the lackey, nor did he play the trick of releasing the military power with a glass of wine. He did it, and injustice will not start with Liu Shen.

However, Yang Biao was not able to control his pride and arrogance well.

He eventually fell into the chasm you had predicted to him.

He ended his life tragically because of it.

(c)

After the final meeting with Yang Biao, you ordered to lead 6,000 combat troops and all administrative forces to leave the original base camp and move 100 miles west to re-camp.

In the process of moving camps. You've been asleep in the drowsiness of Fissan. Wu Shun helped you deal with all kinds of details.

You battle your sickness while you wait for things to unfold according to your plan.

You resist the death that is looming at you, while you wait like a patient fisherman for the big fish to take the bait.

You're not sure if you'll live to fish. You're actually playing that final gamble with fate.

Yang Biao said that it was gambling, and when you agreed that it was gambling, your meaning was the same and different.

Yang Biao is betting on whether he can make Ulinden Mu Khan take the bait according to your meaning. And after the big fish is hooked, the life-and-death battle between the prey and the hunter, what will be the outcome of the victory, will the Han army bury the best fisherman, but fail to catch anything.

What he wasn't sure about was here.

And you never doubted that your plan of action had the ability to bait the big fish, nor did you doubt that the big rope would definitely take the bait, nor did you doubt that once the big rope was taken, Ulindenmu Khan would be hooked for the same reason. You also never doubted that Ulinden Wood Khan would end his life the way you did, once he took the bait.

You are always sure of the outcome of this war on earth. Because you know every role, every element, and every chain of cause and effect in this war, you have never doubted or hesitated like Yang Biao.

Where you are not sure is that war of yourself and fate. You don't know if you have the life and the ability to play in this final war. That's what you're betting on.

Just like many times in your short life. You've always been very good at it, and you've never lost a bet.

When you say "life is a gamble", that's what you mean.

Each of us, from the day we were born, has been gambling with our fate, whether we have our lives or our chances, to go to tomorrow's show.

(iv)

This huge ultimate gamble has been planned for a long time. It was already planned at the time when you followed Daoji to hide in Cheongcheon.

You've been making this gamble since the first day of your battle with the Begi. Every military operation you make is executing this gamble. You've never done whatever you wanted with the Begi people. The kind of war that is swayed at will. Every war you have is followed by another war. Every war you fight is to win that final war. You have even the war after the last war that you have surpassed the last war.

From the time you told the two Begi captives of the Hesse at the outpost on Back Head that the whole Begi people would soon know your name. You're already gambling. Step by step, you bring the opponent you want to eliminate into the game. Ulinden Muhan was actually dragged into this gamble by you step by step. Just as you were dragged step by step by him into the war that consumed the rest of your life.

At that time, neither your opponents nor your army actually knew you as a person. None of them know you as well as your father.

You're the kind of person your father told me on his deathbed. You can see things so wide and far away that it won't take until a long, long time later for the people around you to understand what you were for.

It took me many years before I began to understand what you had done during the second time you returned to Cheongcheon to recuperate. When you sit cross-legged alone under a pine tree by a mountain stream, what you think about is something other than our love.

Although you are also like all ordinary people when this unfortunate fate befalls you, you constantly have some emotional waves. But you've never been carried by these waves. You have never deviated from your chosen goal in life.

You don't waste too much precious time lamenting your fate and lamenting the love you can't get. From the moment you know you have only a few years to live, you've been planning for multiple wars day and night. Your plan and your war began when you woke up and had a frank conversation with Dao Ji, and you were already fighting your war from the moment you told Dao Ji to take you back to Cheongcheon.

Since then, you've been fighting on multiple fronts, every second.

This battle plan of yours is so large and perfect, it is like an unprecedented grand drama set against the background of the times and the world. You've been controlling the departure and appearance of every character in the play, you've been controlling their reactions and actions, and you've been directing the play according to the script you have in mind.

That's why you're always so tired to the bone.

The only thing you can't control is your own fate as a director.

Therefore, when you and Yang Biao say the word "gambling" together, your realm is completely different.

The gamble in your eyes and heart is much bigger than the gamble in Yang Biao's eyes and heart. (To be continued.) )
