Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 121: 121. Returning To Xiapi

Kong Rong tells Lie Fan about his idea saying that this is the only way he can pay the life-saving favor he owed to Lie Fan while Liu Bei will receive some supplies. Liu Bei on the side felt his heart bleeding, Lie Fan received a general while he only received some grains and money even though he also needed the supply.

Taishi Ci who heard what Kong Rong said protested as he didn't want to abandon Kong Rong, Kong Rong persuaded Taishi Ci saying that this was also his chance to learn under Lie Fan and all the generals and advisors Lie Fan who had military experience.

Lie Fan doesn't expect Kong Rong will 'lend' him Taishi Ci, of course, he accepts this and he even gets 15,500 men for labor or becoming farmers or soldiers. Kong Rong was happy that Lie Fan accepted his idea, he invited both Liu Bei and Lie Fan to Beihai to have a banquet there to celebrate their victory.

Liu Bei happily accepted, thinking that Beihai was not far from Pingyuan and his soldiers could eat for free reducing his supply burden also increasing his connection. Lie Fan on the other hand refused the invitation, saying that he had an urgent matter to attend to in Xiapi and he also had to handle the prisoners.

Kong Rong's happiness was reduced the moment Lie Fan refused, even though of canceled the banquet but Liu Bei already agreed so he could only go on. Lie Fan's refusal also surprised Liu Bei, he thought that this was a great opportunity to grow closer to Kong Rong more freely as Lie Fan would not attend the banquet.

Lie Fan, Liu Bei, and Kong Rong spend some time talking together before Lie Fan takes his leave. Lie Fan leaves the command tent, alongside Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and his bodyguards Lie Fan leads his Guard Battalion to group up with his army where they are now guarding the prisoners.

Lie Fan was delighted, his harvest for talents was not small. He got Guan Hai, Huang Shao, and most importantly Taishi Ci who sooner or later will join him completely. Guan Hai and Huang Shao can join the ranks of his bodyguard, making it 8 people with a General strength guarding him.

Unbeknownst to Lie Fan, in Xiapi right now Sun Qian and Chen Gui are receiving two important guests that Lie Fan invited through Sun Qian multiple personal visits since a year ago. If he knows about the existence of these people, he will feel like flying to heaven.

Chen Gui and Sun Qian were surprised when they heard that the 2 people suddenly came to Xiapi, As the highest-ranking officials right now both of them had the task of receiving and holding them to stay in Xiapi until Lie Fan arrived from his expedition in Qing Province.

Back to Lie Fan in Qing Province, Lie Fan decided to let his army rest for a day before returning to Xiapi. He called for all of his bodyguards to bring Huang Shao and Guan Hai to the command tent, All of them knew that Lie Fan would do so after bringing Huang Shao and Guan Hai they guarded the command tent tightly.

Huang Shao who was tied up to a rope was sitting on the ground, while Guan Hai standing still in front of Lie Fan feeling nervous. Lie Fan uses the eye of Erlang Shen on the 2 of them from the moment they enter the tent.

•Huang Shao

STR: 392 (Max) VIT: 90 AGI:82 INT: 112

•Guan Hai

STR: 386 (Max) VIT: 88 AGI: 79 INT: 60

He was satisfied with the stats both of them had, and after seeing their stats Lie Fan called for all of his bodyguards to enter the command tent as he wanted to see their stats improve also. He takes to check the attributes of all of his generals except for Huang Zhong and Dian Wei.

Liu Pi, Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng, Zhao Hong, He Yi, and Gong Du entered the command tent after assigning the Guard Battalion to guard the entrance of the tent. Lie Fan uses the eye of Erlang Shen to all six of them.

•Liu Pi

STR: 295 -> 356 (Max) VIT: 83 -> 85 AGI: 78 -> 80 INT: 71 -> 72

•Bo Cai

STR: 308 -> 386 (Max) VIT: 87 -> 90 AGI: 84 -> 86 INT: 74 -> 76

•Zhang Mancheng

STR: 280 -> 372 (Max) VIT: 83 AGI: 75 INT: 76 -> 88

•Zhao Hong

STR: 273 -> 308 (Max) VIT: 71 -> 73 AGI: 70 -> 73 INT: 43 -> 48

•Gong Du

•He Yi

STR: 328 -> 342 (Max) VIT: 76 -> 79 AGI: 69 -> 73 INT: 68 -> 70

Lie Fan seeing their attributes laughs out loud surprising everyone in the tent, he was satisfied with the stats his bodyguard had. In the future main generals with their stats will be sprouting like grass, he considered that the yellow turbans were the first generations of general talents that sprouted heading to the end of Eastern Han.

Huang Shak and Guan Hai both thought that there was something wrong with Lie Fan's brain, the others on the other hand thought it was normal for Lie Fan to act like this as he was personally selected by heaven to lead them to eternal peace.

Lie Fan: "Guan Hai, you have contributed tremendously by helping Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong in recruiting 10,000 Yellow Turbans to join my side which is not a small feat. Huang Shao, you are a misguided military commander who believes in the teaching of Zhang Jiao and joined the wrong path."

Huang Shao: "You bastard! How dare you say Big Brother Zhang Jiao's teaching is a misguided way! And you Guan Hai, how could you betray us and join the ranks of these Imperial Dogs!"

Guan Hai: "Huang Shao watch your mouth! What My Lord just said is the truth! Zhang Jiao's teaching is misguided and Brother Mancheng and Brother Hong have shown me the right path of teaching that both of them receive from My Lord!"

Huang Shao was stunned for a second and then laughing maniacally, he cursed Lie Fan saying that he tried to copy Zhang Jiao to make the Yellow Turbans serve him. For Huang Shao who has a military background, being disgraced by a corrupt official Zhang Jiao's teaching is a salvation for him who was in the darkness.

Everyone in the tent frowned when they heard Huang Shak cursing Lie Fan except for Lie Fan, Guan Hai who was near Huang Shao slapped the back of Huang Shao's head making him stop laughing for a moment.

Lie Fan raised his hand, indicating to Guan Hai to stop. Lie Fan doesn't expect Guan Hai already be so loyal to him, looks like both Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hing have the skills to be preachers in the future if they ever need another career after retiring from being his bodyguards.

Lie Fan: "Huang Shao, it's the truth that Zhang Jiao's teaching is a misguided way. If it's not a misguided way, how could heaven allow Zhang Jiao to be slain and the Yellow Turbans to be defeated!? It's because Heaven already chose me to bring eternal peace to this land!"

Huang Shao: "Hahaha! You're delusional ho- Wh-what?!"

Huang Shao who wanted to curse at Lie Fan suddenly stopped in shock, he saw Lie Fan taking a book out of nowhere and his halberd beside him was suddenly gone. Then Lie Fan does the opposite, the book is gone and the Halnerd is in his hand now. Guan Hai who saw this for the first time was also shocked, he never expected that Lie Fan also knew magic.

As for the others, they already know Lie Fan's magical power, and seeing it happening again in front of them strengthened their belief and loyalty towards Lie Fan. Lie Fan was satisfied by the reaction he received from everyone in the tent.

Lie Fan: " How is it, Huang Shao?! Do you believe me now?! This is the power the heavens bestowed upon me! Follow me and you will realize the dream that was buried deep in your heart!"

Huang Shao: "My dream? How can a disgraced man like me have a dream?!"

Lie Fan: "Every person deserves a second chance, Join me and receive your salvation and rebirth as a new person with a new purpose!"

Huang Shao and Guan Hai heard Lie Fam's passionate words, Guan Hai's loyalty and conviction to Lie Fan was renewed while Huang Shao's heart finally believed what Lie Fan said and agreed to serve Lie Fan.

Huang Shao and Guan Hai were told to cover their faces, and Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong were also told to do that as their mask and armor would be given when they arrived at Xiapi. After everything is done, Lie Fan returns to his personal tent and takes a rest.

Leading a battalion and fighting for almost a day

He was a bit tired, it's all thanks to his high vitality stats that he only feels a bit tired. Lie Fan let his Generals alongside Jia Xu and Xun You handle the army and prisoners, The casualties will be reported tomorrow to him For now he wanted to eat and then take a rest.

The next day, Lie Fan was woken up by Jia Xu and Xun You who were waiting in front of his tent, Lie Fan immediately told them to come in. Jia Xu and Xun You enter the tent, They report the number of casualties they have is 10,000 men mostly infantries and the cavalries with archers have the lowest casualties. As for the Yellow Turban becoming a meat shield only 1,000 of them survived which can become an elite soldier.

Lie Fan's heart was pained by the amount of losses, he could see from the wars before that the number of troops in this reality was much higher than the amount he read in history. He just blamed it on history accuracy, sometimes the amount mentioned in history can be embellished by the winners either to look strong or achieve the unimaginable.

Lie Fan gets out of his tent with Jia Xu and Xun You, he sees that everything is ready and he only needs to wait for his tent to be loaded onto the logistic battalion wagon.

Lie Fan and his army began their march back to Xiapi, along the way they encountered yellow turbans again from the other 100,000 men that had scattered in Qing Province. Lie Fan captured another 5,000 men making him have 20,500 prisoners.

Lie Fan and his army arrived back at Xiapi after a month, there the army and prisoners were handled by his generals. Lie Fan brought Jia Xu and Xun You alongside his bodyguards to the Governor's Castle.

There Sun Qian and Chen Gui welcomed them back, Sun Qian informed Lie Fan that important guests had been waiting for him since the last month that he had to meet. Lie Fan asks who is it and Chen Gui just says that it is from a Chen Clan also like him.
