Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

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."

Lie Fan: "Good! Good! The three Masters have made such great plans, each with room for us to adapt. When Our time comes, The three Masters will receive your rewards!"

Jia Xu, Xun You, and Sun Qian bowed in gratitude towards Lie Fan. They feel they have chosen the right tree now and only need to do their part to make the tree grow bigger and stronger.

Lie Fan also emphasizes the importance of bringing in Sima Clan into the fold. They are very important and play crucial parts in controlling Luoyang. He also hopes that Sun Qian and Jia Xu can help persuade Sima Fang to follow them back to Xiapi, or at least their clansmen including his sons.

Jia Xu promised to persuade Sima Fang that he could bring in Sima Fang as their Sima Clan is not strong enough to face He Jin or Zhang Rang as they are still an upstart Noble clan.

From then on, Lie Fan also joined up with the three of them in planning their moves. Luoyang now is a powder keg in the making, waiting to be exploded when Lie Fan wants it. He also asked Jia Xu for Oriole to keep an eye on Doing Zhuo, especially now that his merit has been used and he was promoted.

Dong Zhuo now controls Xiliang, and with Li Ru on the helm, it's a matter of time before he controls Xiliang perfectly. Xiliang Cavalries can be said to be one of the best in the land, Lie Fan is not ashamed to say that his Guard Battalion is still below them.

Both Jia Xu and Xun You were confused, they asked Lie Fan why they needed to keep an eye on Doing Zhuo. Lie Fan replied to them that while Dong Zhuo is a greedy and arrogant bastard, he is not a fool and is very ambitious. Li Ru his son-in-law is also not a low-class advisor, but a very experienced and cunning one.

Jia Xu and Xun You both were surprised that Li Ru received such high praise, It's normal that they are surprised as they didn't know in the future that Li Ru's tactics himself hold off the Coalition. If not because of the beauty trap that Wang Yun used on Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, maybe it's the coalition that will fall.

Heading towards the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the crouching tigers and hidden dragons will rise up. That's why Lie Fan is consolidating his political and military power, the chances of those talents picking him will rise.

The Four of them are discussing their plan until late afternoon, If it weren't for a servant that disturbed them to inform Lie Fan that Diao Chan is leaving maybe they would have continued until the evening. Lie Fan takes his leave and tells them to take a rest.

Lie Fan was led by the servant to the entrance where Diao Chan and Ying Yue were saying goodbye to each other. Lie Fan approached them and both of them turned their head towards his direction.

Lie Fan: "Sister Diao Chan, why don't you stay for dinner and then go back?"

Diao Chan: " I can't Brother Lie Fan, My Father is waiting for me so I have to go now. Remember to take good care of Little sister Yue okay?"

Lie Fan: "Why Of Course! I always take good care of my wife, then allow 2 of my bodyguards to walk you home."

Ying Yue: That's right! Sister Diao Chan even though the sun still shines it's better to be safe than sorry. With your beauty, many hooligans will try to make some problem and if something happens My Husband can only cry."

Lie Fan feels like a thunderstruck him, How could his innocent and demure Wife now tease him?! In front of her many people no less!

Seeing the dazed Lie Fan still in shock, Ying Yue began to blush while Diao Chan nudged her praising her for her bravery. Diao Chan knew if Ying Yue had been braver, Lie Fan would have been in her palm in some ways.

Diao Chan accompanied by her handmaiden, He Yi, and Gong Du takes her leave. Ying Yue who saw that Diao Chan her backbone had left began to feel even more shy, before Lie Fan could even say anything she already run away leaving him behind.

Lie Fan seeing this can only smile, knowing that Diao Chan is the one teaching Ying Yue to do those bold things. Lie Fan told a servant to tell the kitchen to begin to prepare the food for dinner.

Lie Fan is in his study, looking at the vision map and seeing the movements of the Yellow Turban remnant in the Han Dynasty. He sees that in Qing Province large amounts of Yellow Turbans are gathering, and he hopes that Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong have entered the high-ranking Yellow Turbans there.

If they managed to become one, he could expect to have another army hidden in his sleeve. Then he turned his head towards Xu Province, he looked towards Xiapoei where the moat was being made. He can see that I was taking shape in the map, which means the progress is going well.

He hopes that it can finish by this year, so he can have Chao Bai back leading his infantry. Lie Fan is also trying to remember exactly the birthplace or the area of Famous generals who haven't shown themselves. The likes of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhang He, and many more, who doesn't want to have them.

While thinking he was interested by a servant, telling him that dinner is ready and his family is waiting for him. Lie Fan takes the vision map and puts it into his inventory. In the dining room, Lie Fan sees that the chair beside Ying Yue is empty so he sits right there.

Yong Yue saw this and began to blush remembering the things he had done before, she could only timidly put some food in Lie Fan's bowl making him smile. All this is seen by Yu Yan that are glad their relationship is growing back to before.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed by. Lie Fan who was leading Baohuzhe in fighting an intrigue war recruited the merchants, landlords, and big farmers to join their side. Especially if their residences are in the southern part of Luoyang, this movement is being fought back by both He Jin and Zhang Rang.

They realize that Lie Fan is amassing Financial power, and they also do the same thing in their area but they are too late as some already accepted Lie Fan's invitation. With the financial power Baohuzhe had Lie Fan sent his members to do some charity work helping the people with food, clothing, and shelter.

Lie Fan erected a Refugee Shelter for refugees who come to Luoyang and Soup Kitchen to feed them. This action immediately raises his rapport with the people, they feel that his benevolence knows no bounds.

While the merchants, landlords, and bug farmers' hearts are bleeding seeing the money they donated to the cause will never returned, at least they also improve their reputation and have backing in Luoyang. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Lie Fan now is watching the shelter from afar inside his carriage when suddenly a bird enters and drops a letter, Lie Fan opens it, and inside is a message telling him that Sima Fang is visiting his residence.

Lie Fan immediately told the driver to return to Lie Clan Estate, Jia Xu managed to make Sima Fang visit him meaning that the chances of them joining his side were high.

At the Lie Clan Estate, Jia Xu and Sun Qian are receiving Sima Fang for Lie Fan. Sima Fang's visits were unexpected by both of them, as Sima Famg didn't give any subtle signs when they visited him a couple of times.

Jia Xu: "Brother Fang what a surprise! You should have told me that you will visit Governor Lie Fans estate!"

Sima Fang: "Haha! Sorry, Brother Jia for my unexpected visit. I visited Governor Lie to thank him for the help he has given this last month to the refugees and the people of Luoyang, his help lessened the burden on my administration."

Jia Xu: "Governor Lie always cares for the people, that's why he does this and the bonus of Brother Fang administration burdens to be less is just a hidden benefit."

While Jia Xu and Sima Fang were talking, Lie Fan arrived back at the Lie Clan Estate and hurried towards the main hall where Sima Fang was received.

Entering the main hall, Lie Fan's arrival attracted the attention of the people in the room. Sima Fang stands up when he sees Lie Fan enter and apologizes to him for his sudden visit making him hurry back to welcome him.

Lie Fan waves his hand telling him it's not a problem, Lie Fan tells Sima Fang that his visit is unexpected but a happy one as he has many things he wants to talk about with him.

Lie Fan: "Prefect Sima, why have you come to visit me?"

Sima Fang: "Governor Lie Fan should have guessed the reason for my visit, even though the Sima Clan is not strong but our influences in Luoyang can't be underestimated."

Lie Fan: "Haha! Of course I have never underestimated the Sima Clan, rather I admire your clan! I have heard that you have 2 sons who were a genius, Sima Lang and Sima Yi. Master Jia Xu and Master Sun Qian should have told you that I wanted to let both of them to study under Master Jia Xu, Master Xun You, and Master Sun Qian?"

(AT: I'm sorry everyone for not updating yesterday! I was having a trip with my friends going hiking on the mountains! Sadly signals are hard there and my phones got wet so I turned it off! Fortunately it can be fixed after going down so I can update now! Sorry for the inconvenience!")
