Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 31: Preparation For The Crusade

Zhu Jun: "Of Course brat, you can just call me Uncle Zhu now come on everyone follow me towards my home!"

Leaving the Palace, Lie Fan introduces Sun Qian, Xu Kai, and Liu Pi to the three in which Sun Qian was awestruck and pays respect to Lu Zhi as he is considered half master to Sun Qian because Zheng Xuan his master, and Lu Zhi his classmate, and Zhu Jun also invited both of them to his home

Using each of their transportation, they spend 10 minutes until they arrive at the district where Important official\'s households are and another 5 minutes to reach Zhu Jun\'s residence

Zhu Jun: "Come everyone welcome to my home! Little Lie this is your first time here so follow us closely or else you will be lost Haha!"

Zhu Jun lead all of them to enter his Manor and was greeted by a beautiful garden with a pond in the middle, they were led toward a pavilion where Zhu Jun says they can enjoy nature while drinking tea here

Huangfu Song: "Okay Old Zhu hurry and tell us why do you invite us all here, we still need to prepare for our army if The Emperor knows that we are drinking tea here there will be consequences"

Zhu Jun: "Heyy Old Huang enjoy your tea first, I invited you all here to discuss who will the two of you want to bring as your staff and commanders?"

Huangfu Song: "Some of my nephews are already old enough to go to battle and I will choose them as my commanders as for the staff I will just let those people come to me and offer themselves"

Lu Zhi: " I will just choose from the selections that were in front of me, I don\'t know if Little Lie wants to join my army as one of my commanders?"

Before Lie Fan can even respond, Zhu Jun who hear that slaps the table and with a loud voice respond to Lu Zhi\'s invitation

Zhu Jun: "Hey Old Lu! How can\'t you invite my nephew in front of me! Of course, he will join my army right little Lie?!"

Lie Fan: "Umm I don\'t know Uncle Zhu, Master Lu is more in line with my warfare style using surprise and ambush tactics"

Lu Zhi: "Hahaha you heard that yourself Old Zhu, If Little Lie joins me you can\'t be angry now"

Zhu Jun: "You Brat! Just wait and see if you dare to join Old Lu I will beat you up myself!"

Lie Fan: "Haha Uncle Zhu I was joking of course I will join Uncle Zhu\'s army, I\'m sorry Master Lu I have to decline your invitation"

Zhu Jun hears that laugh-out-loud with smacking Lie Fans back while Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi can only shake their heads at Zhu Jun\'s antics

Lie Fan as the Junior in the gathering pour tea for each of them and toasts their victory and good luck in battle, they spend an hour talking about tactics and what strategies they will use, and where will each of them go to which province

Lie Fan asks Lu Zhi to teach Sun Qian a bit while he stays here, even though a month is just a short of time and Lu Zhi is busy but he hopes he can teach Sun Qian some of his knowledge and bring him everywhere he goes to

Lu Zhi agrees to Lie Fan\'s request and brought a touched Sun Qian along with him, Lie Fan takes his leave to check on his army and promises all three that he will bring Fruit Wine, and Beers for them to taste before they leave for battle. Hearing that they can taste the drink that made Emperor Ling give a boon to Lie Fan makes them happy and praise Lie Fan as a good junior

Lie Fan left Zhu Jun manor alongside Liu Pi and Xu Kai, and the three of them headed to the designated area for provincial armies to camp outside of Luoyang in the East gate where they had entered before. Due to his big Luoyang, they spend 15 minutes reaching the east gate and another 10 before they reach the designated area.

Seeing the sea of armies with different banners raised, Lie Fan asked Imperialguards there where is the camp of the Huai\'An army who had arrived today. The Imperial Guards pointed towards the south where they saw Lie\'s banner raised and Lie Fan said thank you to the Imperial Guard

Arriving at his camp, all the soldiers saw Lie Fan and salute him. Lie Fan told them to be at ease and continue their duties, he walked towards the command tent where he was told that all 3 of his generals were waiting for him there.

Lie Fan entered the command tent and saw Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Zang Ba talking about military tactics and martial arts, hearing that someone entered the command tent all three of them turn their head and saw that it was Lie Fan

All Three: "My Lord you have returned!"

Lie Fan: "Okay you three be at ease, I want to inform the three of you that our army is assigned to join General Zhu Jun\'s army and will march with him in a month so I wanted the three of you to prepare our soldier carefully"

Chao Bo: "It\'s okay My Lord, leave the soldiers to us while My Lord can socialize with Luoyang Nobles and Officials"

Lie Fan: "Humph you\'re tongue becoming more glib now Chao No, okay then I trust the three of you. Liu Pi takes 20 soldiers from the Guard Battalion as my guard to take our 100 jugs of fruit wine and beers as gifts to these people"

Liu Pi: "Yes My Lord!" *left the tent"

Lie Fan: "Xu Kai, send a letter to my father to inform him of our safe arrival and tell him that I recommend sharing our crops with the people in the surrounding county not just Huai\'An, share a moderate amount each time as to prevent our granny to be empty as a way to prevent the people from joining the yellow turbans minimize potential threat around Huai\'An and at the heart of Xu Province"

Xu Kai: "Okay Big Brother, I will send it with my trusted pigeon so it can arrive faster"

Lie Fan while waiting for Liu Pi and Xu Kai takes out the Vision map and puts it on the table to see the damage The Yellow Turbans have caused. Seeing that fire and fighting are happening in the 4 main provinces where Zhang Jiao\'s ardent supporters are, Lie Fan searches for weaknesses and loopholes that can be used to fight the Yellow Turbans.

Spending a couple of minutes memorizing it, Lie Fan then takes his eye off the Map and raises his head remembering the new function he has from the reward before he tests it on Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Zang Ba

•Chao Bo

STR: 212 VIT: 75 AGI: 88 INT: 90

•Chao Bai

STR: 227 VIT: 90 AGI: 65 INT: 68

•Zang Ba

Lie Fan was happy that he finally can see the attributes of his subordinates as he can use the Information to pair which general and strategist in the future when he became a warlord

He can\'t wait to see Xu Kai, Liu Pi, and Sun Qian\'s attributes but for now, he calms himself then says goodbye to the three and left the tent to find Liu Pi to see if the wagon bringing the fruit wine and beer is ready

Lie Fan sees Liu Pi ordering the 20 guards to put the pots of fruit wines and beers into the wagon, other armies around their camp are intrigued by the crates that were put in the wagon

When Lie Fan joined up with Liu Pi, Xu Kai returned and informed him that the task he was assigned by Lie Fan had been completed. While checking their stuff Lie Fan is using his brain to remember the places where Yellow Turbans commanders that are good to be recruited is

He remembers Zhang Mancheng that will die in Wan thanks to their administrator who in return was killed by Zhao Hong who replace Zhang Mancheng as the head commander, both of them had great skills in martial arts and leadership in the ROTK games he used to play which makes them a great addition to become his bodyguard

He also remembers Bo Cai, one of the largest armies of the Yellow Turbans was under him and his skill is also very good both in martial arts and leadership at the game making him also a great addition to become his bodyguard

He also tries to remember where is the place that Zhang Jiao will be cornered by Lu Zhi who will be demoted thanks to a Eunuch when a shout distracts him from the soldiers finishing putting the wines and beers in which he decided to not think about it for now

Checking that everything is ready, Lie Fan with Liu Pi, Xu Kai, and his 20 guards bring the 100 fruit wine and beers back to enter Luoyang for Lie Fan to socialize expanding his connection in the Capital, especially with the Eunuchs as they were influential in swaying the Emperor especially with now they will go to battle all military generals will be under the threat of bribes
