Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42: Dong Zhuo and Zhang Jiao's Captured

Lie Fan and his army continued to wait for Dong Zhuo and after another 4 days they finally saw from afar 40.000 men marching towards them with the Han flag and another flag with the word Dong fluttering thanks to the wind blowing the flag

Lie Fan: "Dong Zhuo is here now, everyone doesn't have to heed whatever he says and just agrees with him, his temper is too big to control, and let me and Uncle Lu be the ones who will talk to him"

Lu Zhi: "What little Lie says is right, if you don't want to be offended you can leave now"

Some of the Young generals choose to leave as they were afraid to be too hot-headed and caused some trouble when Dong Zhuo talked smack to them

Lie Fan and Lu Zhi accompanied by Lie Fan's retinue wait outside the Camp to receive Dong Zhuo personally as he knows to not offend this Man before the Anti-Dong Zhuo alliance starts in the future keeping history according to his knowledge

Dong Zhuo who was leading his army alongside his trusted advisor and son-in-law Li Ru saw Lie Fan's group waiting for them in front of the camp inciting a laugh from him

Dong Zhuo: "Wenyou (Li Ru's second name), look these bastards are receiving me as they know I'm the superior one here Hahaha!"

Li Ru: "My Lord is the greatest general in Han and with this Subordinate intellect The Lord is unstoppable"

Dong Zhuo: "Hahaha! Wenyou know how to say the right words! Now let me see this Lie Fan who was praised as the Youngest General to serve The Imperial Army!"

When the two parties met, Lie Fan was the first one to greet Dong Zhuo with his title and respect showed as to not offend this madman. Dong Zhuo returned the greeting while saying that Lie Fan is still young so it is okay to ask others for help sarcastically

Lie Fan who has heard more nasty words in the modern era doesn't care and with the epiphany he got when he was injured he already began to show signs of his mental maturing, while some of his generals were angry but managed to hold back their tongue

Lu Zhi: "This Old Man hasn't seen General Dong since the banquet at the Capital I don't know if General Dong still remembers me"

Dong Zhuo: "Of course, I still remember Master Lu my son-in-law Wenyou always told me that Master Lu is the greatest advisor living right now"

Lu Zhi: "Hahaha your son-in-law praises too highly of me, Why don't General Dong and Master Li join me and General Lie to discuss our strategy for the battle?"

Dong Zhuo: "Hahaha Of course! Master Lu may lead the way!"

Lie Fan and Lu Zhi lead Dong Zhuo alongside Li Ru to the Command Tent, in there the map of the city has been laid, and Lie Fan informed both of them of what have they accomplished

Dong Zhuo: "General Lie is young but already very ruthless Haha! Looks like General Lie has learned the first rule of warfare and that is to be ruthless"

Lie Fan: "General Dong is the more experienced one than me, my ruthlessness is nothing compared to you who have defended our border against foreign enemies"

Lu Zhi: "Generals, please stop praising each other haha! So I propose our next step is to immediately siege the city while The Yellow Turbans' morale is down"

Li Ru: "Why don't we smoke the city while at it, causing panic and making them harder to breathe causing some sickness also"

Sun Qian: "Master Li Ru's tactics are too poisonous and not ethical, what will the people inside the city feel!?"

Li Ru: "We are here to win a war and destroy a rebellion, the people inside the city is already a rebel when they opened their gate for the Yellow Turbans"

Sun Qian: "But the pe-"

Lu Zhi: "Enough! What Master Li Ru propose is ingenious while it's too poisonous we can use it as I have confirmed that inside the city are Yellow Turbans soldiers and their families"

Lie Fan and Dong Zhuo agree to the plan, while Lie Fan feels that the strategy will kill many innocents but this is a battle, and he can't care about all life in the country in which Sun Qian can only sigh and accept the decision

The Next day under the order of both Lie Fan and Dong Zhuo the siege of Guangzhong began, siege equipment was carried out while fire arrows were shot inside the city to cause fire making the city full of smoke

The Yellow Turbans who at first defending the walls trying to shoot arrows at the Han soldiers slowly coughed and their line of sight is hindered thanks to the smoke that was caused by the fire

Zhang Jiao sees what happened and can predict what tactics the Han Army doing, In a panic he ordered Zhang Bao to lead some soldiers and put out the fire while ordering Zhang Liang as well to tell the soldiers put their scarves on their and noses to act as a mask

With the Yellow Turbans' resistance weak, Lie Fan's and Dong Zhuo's armies used this chance to attack the gate and put up ladders to attack the Yellow Turbans atop the wall.

Lie Fan sends Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng alongside Xu Kai and some members of Oriole to slip into the city alongside his army and capture Zhang Jiao if they can or assassinate him and take his head back to Lie Fan to be sent to the Imperial Court

He does this to prevent Dong Zhuo from taking merits that are not his and halting his promotion for a bit, Lie Fan observes the battle with Sun Qian and Lu Zhi while Dong Zhuo was accompanied by maidens that he brought personally enjoying their care only Li Ru observing the battle

Sun Qian: "My Lord, look at Dong Zhuo how can he still playing with those women while his soldiers sacrifice their life for his selfish purpose"

Lie Fan: "Let him be, We still need him, and while he doesn't do anything that sabotages our plan then whatever he does is not our business, Master Sun Qian is older than me but still can't keep calm haha!"

Sun Qian heard what Lie Fan said and was ashamed promising that he will try to learn to be stoic facing people like this, they continue to observe the battle while Lie Fan gave some orders to attack here and there

On the other side, Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng, and Xu Kai alongside Oriole members managed to slip into the city with their army managed to hook the walls after taking it over from the Yellow Turbans

After interrogating some Yellow Turbans they managed to capture, they know that the Yellow Turbans high ranking officers are inside the city estate with Zhang Jiao guarded by the officers

Bo Cai: " Why didn't we pretend we are former Yellow Turbans leaders that managed to escape the Han army pursuit and ride here to join the Main army?"

Zhang Mancheng: "That's a good idea, Little Xu and the others can wait outside after we managed to say helping them evacuate the city from the secret entrance we managed to find!"

Xu Kai: "Okay then I will wait outside, Brother Bo and Brother Cheng better be fast okay"

Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng acquiesce to what Xu Kai said and they managed to slip enter the City estate disguised as their former identities

When Zhang Jiao heard that there were Yellow Turbans officers from another province seeking refuge he told them to enter while telling Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao to lead the defenses he was safe here now with Yellow Turbans officers coming here

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao followed Zhang Jiao's order and left him to be guarded by Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng not knowing that this will be the last time they will see Zhang Jiao

Zhang Jiao was happy that there are surviving officers from other provinces and when he asked them how they managed to enter the city, Bo Cai says that there were hidden entrances they managed to find so he come here to show him the location

Zhang Jiao was skeptical at first and decided to follow him but bringing 30 personal bodyguards, Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng saw the number of his bodyguard gritted their teeth, and calculated that with Xu Kai and the Oriole member's help, they can defeat them

Leaving the city estate, Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng bring them towards a quiet and deserted street where suddenly Xu Kai and the oriole shot arrows at Zhang Jiao's bodyguard while Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng pretended to guard Zhang Jiao but knocked him out and then kill the rest of the bodyguards.

Xu Kai was picking up the unconscious Zhang Jiao when his body book fell when He opened he found letters between Zhang Jiao and members of the 10 attendants, he thought that Zhang jiao bringing this with him everywhere as he doesn't anyone to know about the contact

Seeing the success of their mission, Bo Cai, Zhang Mancheng, and Xu Kai left the City from the walk that Lie Fan's army controlled to evade Dong Zhuo's army, Xu Kai goes back toward the command tent to inform Lie Fan while Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng bring Zhang Jiao to Lie Fan's tent

Xu Kai: "Big Brother, We have managed to complete your order and the live package is waiting inside your tent"

Lie Fan: "Good! Master Sun Qian and Uncle Lu, I give commands to both of you as I have something urgent to do at my tent"

Dong Zhuo: "Hahaha! General Lie is still young so I understand what you wanted to do, no need to be shy in front of me it's okay to feel that way when your adrenaline is through the roof Haha!"
