Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Diao Chan feels sad at the naive thinking that Ying Yue has because of what will happen if she is a bad woman and make her life turns to hell, also she feels a bit happy because this shows the pure kindness Ying Tue has which becomes one of the attractive points Ying Yue have.

Diao Chan: "Of course, we can trust Brother Lie Fan's judgment, but what if Brother Lie Fan believes the lies some woman told? If Brother Lie Fan's backyard is full of fighting, wouldn't he be embarrassed pointed out by other people that he can't keep his own family in peace, then how he would lead his people."

Ying Yue: "Wh-what Sister Diao Chan said makes sense, but will Brother Lie Fan believe us?"

Diao Chan: "I don't know about me, but he will definitely listen to you Little Sister! Maybe he can sacrifice all the women he has in the future, not you. You're the apple of his eye you know, Sister is a bit jealous of the treatment you receive."

Ying Yue: "Sister!"

Ying Yue who heard that began to blush a bit embarrassed but her heart was full of sweetness, The concern that Diao Chan said for her maybe right now would not become an issue but in the future, it would be so she needed to help Lie Fan in coordinating the back yard.

She knows that she is too naive and her self-confidence is not that high, but she will learn in the future some necessary skills. Diao Chan also can help, she has been trained in many noble lady manners and intrigue which for Ying Yue the perfect candidate to replace her when she is not around.

Ying Yue: "Then I hope Sister Diao Chan can be with My Husband and help me learn how to do that."

Diao Chan: "Little Sister... Thank you for your sacrifice."

Ying Yue and Diao Chan both looked at each other with a warm smile, they knew that Ying Yue still felt pained with the revelation. However, Ying Yue also knew that it had happened so why didn't she close herself to Diao Chan to evaluate the new women that maybe will come in the future.

Both of them continue talking with each other, about how Diao Chan began to have the ambiguous feelings she has now for Lie Fan. How Ying Yue began to love Lie Fan and the start of their relationship. Women are truly fascinating, at first They are awkward and have a tendency to fight, but now suddenly they become best friends almost like a sister.

Lie Fan who was waiting outside, began to grow impatient as Diao Chan hadn't got out yet. For him, both of them are special, even though he doesn't know what kind of special Diao Chan is for him. At least if it's not love, he wanted to protect her from her original fate married to Lu Bu and being told as a vixen.

He walked back and forth until suddenly the door opened and Ying Yue with Diao Chan walked out hand in hand. Lie Fan seeing this was stunned, as he didn't expect that both of them would come out. Seeing how close they were now and Ying Yue smiling not like before, Lie Fan's heart began to calm down and happy seeing the smile Ying Yue had.

Lie Fan: "Umm Wife! Miss Diao Chan! This is...?"

Ying Yue: "Husband, why you you still call Sister Diao Chan miss? She called you brother, of course, you have to call her sister!"

Lie Fan: "W-well T-that okay! I listened to my wife! Wife & Sister Diao Chan what are you both talking about inside?"

Diao Chan: "You can't know for now, at least when we managed to resolve the ambiguous feeling between us, Right little sister?"

Ying Yue nodded her head in support of Lie Fan, seeing this happening he could only smile and shake his head. It's not that he can't force them if he forces them they will say it but he doesn't want to destroy the delicate relationship that managed to be restored.

Ying Yue and Diao Chan both give Lie Fan a smile that radiates innocence but he knows that the two of them are planning something for sure. Ying Yue and Diao Chan say goodbye to Lie Fan and both walk together leaving Lie Fan Standing there.

Lie Fan can only sigh, it's his fault that he pampers Ying Yue now she is like this he can't bear to hurt her more. He can only watch Ying Yue and Diao Chan walking together hand in hand toward the garden. Lie Fan claps his hand and suddenly 2 oriole members come out wearing maid clothes.

He ordered them to keep an eye on Ying Yue and Diao Chan, protect them both and if anything happened he would execute them. Both oriole members receive the orders in a cold sweat and follow Ying Yue and Diao Chan.

Lie Fan then decided to go towards the southern courtyard where he designated a room as the meeting room for his think tank, he knew that at this time his three think tanks were putting together new plans to begin their fight against both He Jin and Zhang Rang.

Arriving at the meeting room, he heard the voices of Jia Xu, Sun Qian, and Xun You discussing together. He entered the room and saw three of them talking with city maps of Luoyang, putting together 3 different colors of many circle pieces on the map.

Lie Fan: "Three Masters are working very hard, Don't forget to take a rest and fill your stomach. I don't care if we lose but losing even one of you can be disastrous."

Sun Qian: "My Lord is here, thank you for Your care, My Lord. Don't worry even if I and Brother Xun are a workaholic, Master Jia Xu will always remind us to eat in his own ways of course!"

Jia Xu: "Little Sun you can't speak ill of me, Thank you for your care, My Lord. Don't worry about me here these two will be safe. Why don't Master Xun You explain what we are doing here?"

Xun You who heard this turned his head and nodded in gratitude to Jia Xu, he is a newcomer and needs some merits. He knew Lie Fan trusted him highly so he wanted to give that trust back by donating his talent more.

Xun You: "It's like this My Lord, as you can see on the map. I alongside Master Jia Xu and Brother Sun have assembled a map that shows the balance of power held by our faction and the others."

Xun You explain with his hand pointing towards each side, what surprised him and the others was the position controlled by each faction is amazing. Lie Fan leading Baohuzhe controlled both civil officials and military officials who lived in the southern part of Luoyang and even nearing the center where the palace was.

He Jin controlled the Western side where the old noble clan's residences were located, Noble families like the Yuan and Cao with their connections alone supported many members of the He Jin Faction. Zhang Rang on the other hand controlled the East side, he and the 9 attendant built their mansion there, and the officials that they either promoted or bribed put their residences there.

This baffled everyone as this coincidence was too big, but this also helped them know from where they would begin ensuring the peace in Luoyang acting as peacekeepers until Emperor Ling died.

Xun You: "Our first plan is to bring together the Merchant, Landlord, and Big Farmer Clans. We will ensure their support to receive logistical supplies to ensure the engine of our Faction keeps running. This also closes the potential for them to join other Faction."

Lie Fan: "That's good I agree, also Please help me ensure that Sima Clan Head Sima Fang Prefect Luoyang joins our side as they were still reluctant before."

Jia Xu: "Yes My lord, me and Little Sun will handle Sima Fang. I was acquainted with Sima Fang, his first son Sima Lang is a talented youth, and having them join under My Lord can help you greatly."

Lie Fan was pleased by Jia Xu's initiative, he knew that Jia Xu could read his kind and that he wanted to have Sima Clan join under him, not his Faction. However he makes a small mistake, what he is interested in is not Sima Lang but his brother Sima Yi. Sima Yi is still young and if he can put him under his thumb ensure his loyalty to him and not let him marry Zhang Chunhua then there will be no Jin Dynasty in the future.

Lie Fan: "That's great Master Jia Xu, with Sima Fang supporting us Luoyang will be like our playground as he is the Prefect. This is a top priority so please do it as soon as possible."

Jia Xu + Sun Qian: "Yes My Lord!"

Lie Fan: "Master Xun You, please continue your explanation."

Xun You: "Yes My Lord, After ensuring logistic support we will begin to gather the people of Luoyang's support by giving them food and clothes. This will raise your reputation even further and reduce the suspicion the Emperor has on My Lord as you're not fighting for power with the other factions."

Lie Fan actually can see through this plan, he likes this plan because the Emperor will like him more and the people will support him. What the others don't know right now is that the common people are very important, yes the nobles are the backbone of the Empire but the common people are the engines that help the backbone.

Xun You: "Next with the support of the people, we will begin balancing the Imperial Court condition. Both He Jin and Zhang Rang will find trouble with us and fight with each other, we will suppress them to an extent that when Emperor Ling dies they will explode and full-scale war will break out between them while we have long gone falling back to Xiapi but using the Oriole fanning the flame from afar."
