Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

After ordering the guards to put the Flag of Qilin, Lie Fan take a map of the area around Huai'An and put dots on them after seeing in the vision map area that has Copper supply. Lie Fan decides to just put 4 dots as to many is not good wasting manpower that is scarce for now, Lie Fan calls for some messengers and tells them to deliver this to his Mother alongside the letters to tell her that the money is on the way to her so she can begin the project.

Sending the messengers to his mother, Lie Fan began to make a training schedule for each division to strengthen their basics to maximize the power of each division, Archers with their bow skills, Infantries with their Sword and Spear alongside shield and formation movement, and Cavalries with their riding and polearm skills.

After each division masters their basics, then Lie Fan will train them in other skills to complement their weakness Archers will be trained in close combat skills and riding skills.

Lie Fan makes 5 days of training, 1 resting, and 1 learning movement order (like flag sign, drum sound, etc), pretty tiring schedule but he has to make his army a specialized unit that is trained in all land warfare skills so his 500 men can show their worth even in large scale battle.

After finishing drafting the schedule, Lie Fan exits the tent and goes to the training camp to see the effect of the Flag of Qilin personally while training his skills there as well to raise his attribute points.

Entering the training area he saw his original 145 men in training formations, he see some improvement in the training speed thanks to the Flag which he thinks is pretty good considering the amount of SP he had spent to buy it.

Taking a wooden halberd from the training weapon rack, Lie Fan calls the 145 men to listen to his order

Lie Fan: "Today we are going to test our skills! each one of you take the weapon you're most skilled at and paired yourself for combat training!"

Listening to Lie Fan, 145 Men scattered and take the weapon they are most skilled at. Some take swords, others take spears, and some take mace, some special ones take glaive (Cavalry soldiers).

Pairing themselves, each man began to fight using the wooden weapons as if they were really on the battlefield and the ones they were facing were not their friends/allies/comrades but enemies. You can hear the sound of the weapon hitting human bodies but they continue this training as Lie Fan lead them by telling them the parts that were hit was considered gap or opening in their skills and use the pain to remember to cover those areas.

Lie Fan watches his men training while giving some pointers from the sideline, he continues doing so for 30 minutes and then he tells them to stop and tell them to enter a group of 5 in which every group will have a fight against him 5 on 1. Hearing what Lie Fan said at first everyone was confused as to why would they do that but as he was their Young Lord who lead them to glory so they began to group up.

after each of them is in a group, Lie Fan called the first group that will face him. The first group consist of 3 using swords, 1 using a spear, and 1 using Glaive, Lie Fan told them to discuss their plan on how to fight him in 1 minute and then they can begin to attack. While waiting for them Lie Fan informs the others they can discuss their plan while watching the fight as maybe they find a way to defeat him.

The first group finished their discussion and prepared to attack Lie Fan, the first one to attack was the glaive user who attacked Lie Fan with a downward slash which Lie Fan parried using his Halberd handle, seeing this the spear user thrust his spear toward his abdomen while the 3 sword users attacked him from behind.

Seeing this Lie Fan kicked the glaive user in his abdomen and then take a step to the left then clasp the handle to snap it in half then turned back and deflect the sword user.

Lie Fan then continue fighting with the 5 of them, the sound of wooden weapons colliding in the area. After a couple of minutes of fighting, Lie Fan defeated the first group, then Lie Fan take a rest for a couple of seconds and then tell the second group to come up.

This continued until the afternoon after which Lie Fan win almost all the fights, he does this to train his stamina and make his soldiers experience fighting against generals.

Lie Fan ordered his men to take a rest and have a lunch that was served for them, after that they will continue practicing archery until evening and take a rest after that. 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎ𝚎𝚝

Lie Fan left them to enjoy their food and goes to the Archery range to train his archery for an hour, he wanted to master the bow so he can snipe enemy generals from miles away like Huang Zhong and Xiahou Yuan who were famous for their archery skill.

Checking his attribute points, Lie Fan saw that his Strength, Vitality, and Agility has raised by a bit, not much but at least it was rais.

After that he goes back to the Command Tent and makes some plans for when the Yellow Turbans broke out in full rebellion he can take advantage of the war to raise the Lie Clan's prestige and receive titles from the Emperor as before the rebellion of the 10 eunuchs and Dong Zhuo enters the Capital Luoyang the Emperor's decree still have credibility and some power in the eyes of the Lords and Nobles.

While making the plans, Chao Bo enters the Command Tent to report that his order has been completed and now they have to wait for the result.

Lie Fan: "Chao Bo, how do you think generals win their battle?"

Chao Bo: "By having the skill to lead a massive army, know how to train their soldiers, and have the patience when facing their enemies, that's how they will win the battle"

Lie Fan: "That's partly true, but the one most important thing for the general to win his war is Information, knowledge about his enemies. how did they lead their armies, what is his weakness that can be exploited, and any information you can find is a weapon that can be used. Just like what Sun Tzu said know yourself and your enemies then you will win battle stylee, that's what we need to information"

Chao Bo: "My Lord is wise, this humble one admired the broad knowledge you have"

Lie Fan: "What broad knowledge this is just some common sense that great tacticians always abide by, that's why this a secret order that I will give to you. I want you to go and recruit orphans or street urchins from age 10 until 13 male and female to be trained as skilled spies, I wanted them to be scholars or painters or courtesans or anything that can help us gather information."

Chao Bo: "My Lord is wise! Chao Bo will do his task and will keep this secret until I died"

Chao Bo received his order and left the Command Tent, Lie Fan get up from his chair and go out to take fresh air then goes back to Huai'An to take a rest.

Riding his horse Pangu, Lie Fan goes back to Huai'An to go back home. On the way to Huai'An, He sees a Merchant Caravan going to Huai'An as well. When the leader of the caravan saw him, he told the caravan guards to be alert as he think Lie Fan is a bandit that wanted to bait them into an ambush.

Lie Fan: "Hello I'm Lie Fan, son of the Prefect of Huai'An Lie Shang. May I know who is the leader of the caravan?"

Leader: "Hello My Lord, I'm Mi Yu the leader of this Caravan owned by the Mi Clan Of Donghai"

Hearing that it was the merchant caravan of the Mi Clan, Lie Fan was excited as this can be used as a foundation to befriend Mi Zhu who was one of Liu Bei's earliest advisors and the money machine that supported Liu Bei when he was landless.

Lie Fan greeted them with respect and said that he was astounded to meet the famous merchants of the Mi Clan as Huai'An is only a City Port with no specialties to offer even though Huai'An has a Port it is only used as a waypoint for ships going to Northern part of the empire and place for Fisherman to docked their ships.
