■ Alexander Gwanggaeto the Great of Northeast Asia 2. The spirit of young generals (5)

 a distance of about five li from the northeast of the palace One building that overwhelms several buildings stands overwhelmingly high. The wall and magnificent iron gate, which are surrounded like a huge wall, made me guess that it was the place where a powerful person lives. It was the residence of Du So. Although Dooso was a state funeral, he was also in charge of military and administrative power of the Goguryeo Kingdom by concurrently serving as a military commander. When Dongyeondan reached the front of Du So's house, the guard already recognized it and opened the door. It was not that he went to and from the national funeral once or twice. And yet it was still not free. I've always been intimidated and choked by overbearing buildings. At the same time, I was overwhelmed by the feeling of enjoying authority by entering the house of Dooso, where no one could easily enter and exit, as the heart of a deceitful person. The magnificent building was like the embodiment of power that never collapsed. No one in the national fortress could build such a building except for the royal palace. In the face of royal power, no one dared to have a private officer or soldier. However, the exception was Du So Kuksang. Dongyeondan was proud of its position as Dooso's bookkeeper. It was because of the clever circumstances that the Dongyeondan became noticeable to Du So. In 378, when the Khitan invaded Goguryeo, he was an officer in the western border town of Lee Chun-seong. At that time, he advised Yo Guk-ki, the lord of Yi Chun-seong, to prepare for the invasion of the Khitan people. "Guran's movements are extraordinary. We'll have to strengthen the defense of the border." "Oh, you don't know! How does a peaceful foreign policy invade the west when it's close to the west?" "According to the information we've got so far..." "Again! Enough is enough." Sung-joo of Yoguk-ki did not listen to him. Seongju, Yo-guk-gi, was only thinking of returning to the national capital as soon as possible. However, the lord of Yogukgi suddenly imposed various taxes on the people, saying that they should prepare for the invasion of Georan. Then I called him. "Now, take it." "What is this?" "Oh! You don't have to know..." Dongyeondan was given by the lord of Yo-guk-gi, so I took it. But that's exactly what got him wrong. Seongju, Yo-guk-gi, needed more bribes as it approached the national road. Therefore, various taxes were imposed and collected using Dongyeondan's argument to prepare for the invasion of Georan. And some of it was given to the Dongyeondan. Dongyeondan was aware of this fact and tried to return it at first, but changed its mind when Seongju, Yo-gukgi, kept giving rice cakes and old water. However, the wealth that came in was quite abundant. Dongyeondan became acquiescent to the corruption of the lord of Yogukgi, and eventually fell into his temptation and joined together. 'I'm going up to the national highway soon.' 'Is that true?' 'I've already been assured. Why don't you come with me? What's the point of staying here?" Dongyeondan envied Seongju, the Yo-gukgi, who was promoted to the national road. 'If I go up, I'll ask you to do it.' 'If you will... I will never forget this kindness." Dongyeondan eventually shared its fate with Yo-guk-gi. It seemed a hundred times better to live comfortably on the national road than to rot in the northwestern frontier. If a war broke out, it would have been a day. It was best to leave the western border quickly. Dongyeondan dreamed of riding on the national road as a bonus along Seongju, Yogukgi. The rest were confident as long as they were on the national road. But the dream collapsed in vain. As I was worried, the Guran invaded. When the war broke out, Seongju, the Yo-gukgi, ran away to survive without even thinking of fighting. The eight villages of the western frontier quickly became a shambles due to the looting and murder of the Khitan people. The people, who could not withstand the massacre of Georan, rose up here and there, and with the arrival of the central reinforcements one after another, they joined forces to drive out the Georan army. At this time, Busabi's brilliant performance made him called a boy general. On the other hand, the runaway Seongju of Yo Guk-gi was arrested and transported to the national road. Dongyeondan was also in the same situation as Seongju of Yogukgi. Seongju, Yo Guk-gi, leaned on the national statue of Du So and struggled to save him. However, no matter how much it was, I could not condone the fact that the person in charge of the castle abandoned the people and fled to live alone during the war. On the contrary, Dooso took bribes from Yo-guk; he tried to do it in a way that would keep him silent forever for fear of being caught. Thinking that he was dead now, Dongyeondan was so upset. I wanted to live somehow. There was only one way. It is to put all responsibility on the lord of Yo-guk-gi. The association complained of unfairness when State Minister Du So reprimanded. "I'm unfair." "So what's unfair?" "I've only once or twice asked the lord of Yo-guk-gi to prepare for the invasion of Georan. But the lord didn't listen to me... I'm upset." People misunderstood and sympathized with the Dongyeondan because the lord of Yo-guk-gi used his argument to raise more money. "Um..." Duso expressed his understanding. Seeing this, Dongyeondan saw a chance of winning and talked again. "I feel really wronged. If only the lord had listened to me..." "Yeah..." Duso nodded his head in a hearty manner. Dongyeondan was gaining fame as a copycat, and Du So needed this kind of person. However, saving this person could have been a good opportunity to show kindness and tolerance. "If you will save me, I will give my whole body to be loyal." Dongyeondan survived thanks to his oath of loyalty to Duso. Of course, the lord of Yo-guk-gi was executed, accused of not even listening to the words of his loyalists. The troupe had to stick to Du So's orders in exchange for its survival. Du So was never easy. He who betrayed once knew the physiology of betraying again. So Du So never easily attracted Dongyeondan. The troupe struggled to win Du So's confidence. So he decided to solve the problem of Du So's son Du Chil. Duchil was a lustful man, and he only believed in his father's power and made trouble by teasing women who were not women of women's houses. But Dusso said, 'This is a once-in-a-time thing. I'll quit when I get older.' But Du-chil's rant continued. Du So was troubled by such a son. It was understandable that the person who was supposed to succeed him in the future was losing his mind. The party visited Duso and asked him. "I don't know if I'm being presumptuous..." "Tell me what's going on!" "It's about Confucius Duchil..." "I don't know what else he's done, but don't even talk about him in front of me." Duchil shouted angrily. Du So has already calmed Du Chil and yelled at him. But it was all in vain. On the contrary, the admonition was irritating and disapproving. He was in control of both military and administrative power, but he did not know what was wrong with him. If you rebel, you can catch anyone. The party did not back down. "I don't think that's the only way to look at it." "... "To me, humble, it's better to put the heavy responsibility first..." "The heavy responsibility?"" "The position of head of the national defense unit..." Dusso pondered. "Giving you a seat first?" Even if you're a jerk, your son is the only one who can succeed you. Something to do someday!' After much consideration, Du So accepted the opinion of the group and appointed Du Chil as head of the national defense unit. Above all, the control of military power was important. But what was really strange was that Du-chil began to change from that day. The kid who was so colourful didn't get in trouble. Dooso became more trusting of the Dongyeondan when Duchil devoted himself to the position of head of the domestic defense unit. Thus, when there was a problem, he asked Dongyeondan, and in this process, he eventually rose to the position of a bookkeeper. Source: Jeong Il-ho, Kingdom of Heaven and Goguryeo
