Chapter 28: Aftermath and Envoy From Luoyang

Sun Qian: "That's what I should do My Lord, I think now is best for us to go around again and signal for the Huai'An army to go outside and attack the Yellow Turbans while my Lord take a rest first"

Lie Fan: "Okay then I follow what Master Sun Qian suggests, order the Cavalry Battalion to fall back and we will go around back to where we are before signals the Huai'An army to open the gate and began open field combat"

Liu Pi sounds his horn once again to signal Zang Ba to fall back, and Zang Ba who saw that maneuvers his army to go back the same way they charge at the Yellow Turban inflicting damage along the way

Lie Fan: "Zang Ba is a good cavalry general and in the future, he will be one of our cavalry battalion pillars"

Sun Qian: "My Lord was bestowed heaven's luck to receive many great generals"

Zang Ba mowed down the Yellow Turbans with his Battalion terrorizing the Yellow Turbans, in 3 minutes they arrived back at the temporary headquarters and Lie Fan orders them to go around the Yellow Turbans

The Yellow Turbans see Lie Fan's army doing around thought that they retreat so their morale rises and decide to continue attacking Huai'An, Lie Fan sends Liu Pi to lead his Guard Battalion do a shoot-and-run using their bow diverting their attention while the rest of Lie Fan army's on their march

The Yellow Turbans never faced an organized and experienced army so they were overwhelmed by Lie Fan's tactics that considered a basic tactic for a general to master, while Liu Pi was attacking the Yellow Turbans Lie Fan observed his army to see if their maneuver is done

Seeing his army have completed their maneuver, Liu Pi led the Guard Battalion to move toward their position while striking the Yellow Turbans for one last time. When Liu Pi arrived, Lie Fan began to sound the horn signaling the Huai'An army

Ling Dao who was leading the defense heard the horn and remembers what Lie Fan told him when the Yellow Turbans ever attacked he heard that horn it means Lie Fan's signal to them that they have to charge out and counterattack

Ling Dao orders the drum to signal that they will strike out at the Yellow Turbans and he ordered his Lieutenants to lead the soldiers who were not at the wall to prepare in front of the gate ready to go outside

YT Soldier 1: "Haha look at this Han army, hiding behind their walls and everyone to meet us head-on!"

YT Soldier 2: "Of course with the Yellow Heaven at our side how can we lose against Han Emperor who los-"

*DUMM!!* *DUMM!!*

The Yellow Turbans hearing the drum sound were confused at first but when they saw the gate was opening they thought the Han Army is surrendering and cheered but they saw Han Cavalry goes out and trample their brothers shocking them, from above the wall heavy stone was tossed crushing the Yellow Turbans beneath it that want to climb up the ladders who was kicked by the soldiers making it collapse

Ling Dao ordered the infantries to reinforce the Cavalry assault and the archers to shoot arrows immediately at the middle of the yellow turbans, with this Huai'An army counter begin signaling the Lie Fan army to join in

Lie Fan from afar saw what happen and send his army led by Liu Pi to join the Huai'An Army attacking from the left flank, The Guard Battalion and Cavalry Battalion was the first one to clash with the Yellow Turbans smashing them to oblivion with the infantry battalion following them behind their back and the archer battalion raining down arrows

Lie Fan, Sun Qian, and Xu Kai watch the battle from afar protected by Ariole members, They see the collapsing Yellow Turban Army with some beginning to run away deserting their army feeling the battle will end shortly

True to what they thought the battle ended in 30 minutes, Lie Fan declare his army to round up the surviving Yellow Turban soldiers and bring them toward the Huai'An army then goes back toward then he talked with Sun Qian

Lie Fan: "Master Sun Qian, the battle has ended let's go back to Huai'An and meet my Father at the City Estate to discuss what just happened"

Sun Qian: "Sun Qian will follow the Lord, why don't I ride a horse to so we will arrive faster?"

Lie Fan: "Okay, Xu Kai bring two horses one for you and one for Master Sun Qian"

Xu Kai: "Right away Big Brother!" 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Xu Kai releases the two horses that were used for the Carriage and gives one to Sun Qian and the other one to him, Lie Fan sees that they were ready and ride toward Huai'An City Estate

Lie Fan and his retinue arrived at the City Estate under 15 minutes later than usual thanks to the panic that the people of Huai'An feels bad the street was in chaos when he entered the City Estate Meeting Room he saw Lie Shang sitting in his chair with the upper-rank officials of Huai'An was debating and a golden robe official sitting right below his Father

Lie Shang: "Okay Okay Everyone Silent! What we should do now is calm the people and make sure the city economy is proceeding as usual!"

Lie Fan: " I Agree with what Father said, I hope all Sir can calm down"

Hearing Lie Fan's words, everyone turn towards the entrance and saw him wearing his armor with his upper right shoulder bandaged shocking everyone

Lie Shang: "Fan'er?! Are you okay?! And how is the situation outside?!"

Lie Fan: "I'm okay Father a stray arrow hit me and the situation outside is under control we managed to defeat the yellow tub were with some casualties that were under control"

Lie Shang: "Hahaha good! good! You are truly My Son and Huai'An Future General! But remember to keep yourself safe in the future, no- cone here let me introduce you to Eunuch Lu who come here bringing the Emperor's edict but was prevented thanks to the Yellow Turbans' sudden attack"

Lie Fan: "Lie Fan meets Eunuch Lu, I'm sorry for my inappropriate attire to greet you"

Eunuch Lu: "It's okay Young Master Lie, you're just back from a heroic battle to defend us all here in Huai'An your attire can be forgiven"

Lie Fan: "Thank You Eunuch Lu for your generosity, I'm sure all of us including My Father impatiently waiting for Eunuch Lu to read the Emperor's edict"

Eunuch Lu: "Ah yes of course, *Ahem* Lord Lie Shang receive the Emperor's edict!"

Everyone including Lie Fan and Lie Shang bowed to receive the Emperor's edict as it was custom to do so and not doing it means violating the Emperor's order

Eunuch Lu: "The Land was in Chaos and rumors of a rebellion rising in Xu Province with massive numbers, We ordered all able-bodied Prefect and above to lead some of their armies and meet at Luoyang to assemble with Imperial Army led by General He Jin to quell the rebellion."

Lie Shang: " Lie Shang received the order and will go toward Luoyang as soon as possible!"

Eunuch Lu: "That's good, I will follow your Lordship towards Luoyang seeing the rebellion started faster than what we anticipated"

Lie Shang: "Of Course, Eunuch Lu can join us we will proceed toward Luoyang when everything here in Huai'An is in order"

Lie Shang ended today's emergency meeting and told all officials to keep Huai'An in order and proceed as usual now the crisis outside their city had been resolved, then he alongside Lie Fan and his retinue led Eunuch Lu and his guards toward Lie Clan Manor to rest there first while waiting for them

When they arrived at the manor, they saw the Lie Clan personal guards fortify the security of the manor. Entering the Manor they were received by Yu Yan and Ying Yue who both waited for their other half Wannian was in her room playing with her toys there just to be secure

Yu Yan and Ying Yue at first wanted to hug their other half but saw they have a guest and from the looks of it an Important one so they keep their poise to receive their guest

Eunuch Lu: "Lord Lie is not only a just and honorable leader alongside having a tiger son but a beautiful wife also, Lord Lie's life is blessed"

Lie Shang: "Hahaha Eunuch Lu is jesting, My life blessing is nowhere near the blessing the Emperor has"

Eunuch Lu: "Fufufu, What Lord Lie says is true but The Emperor will need generals like Lord Lie's son in the future to guard the Empire against invaders and rebels"

Lie Shang heard that and agree with what he said meanwhile, Lie Fan silently told his retinue to wait for him in front of his room and used his hand to signal his Mother alongside Ying Yue to dismiss themselves

Lie Fan: "Lie Fan will always serve the Emperor and destroy those who dare to oppose the Han Empire! I hope Eunuch Lu will say good things for me in front of The Emperor"

Eunuch Lu: "Fufufu, not only Young Lord Lie is a tiger on the battlefield but a fox in diplomacy"

Hearing that everyone there laughs together, Lie Shang then led Eunuch Lu toward the guest room served for the highest and most important guests that visit their Manor. After telling Eunuch Lu to take a rest and call for a servant to order lunch when he is hungry, Lie Fan told his Father to follow him as he has something to talk to with him
