Lie Fan used the eye of Erlang Shen while doing so to see Zhao Yun’s attributes because, since Zhao Yun’s arrival, he has held himself many times from seeing Zhao Yun’s attributes. â€¢ Zhao Yun STR: 835 VIT: 128 AGI: 112 INT: 76 Looking at this he was very satisfied, young Zhao Yun was already this powerful when he reached the peak of his physical age, he couldn’t imagine how powerful Zhao Yun would be in the future. After patting Zhao Yun on the shoulder, Lie Fan then asks Zhao Yun what Mi Fang’s answer to his request to him yesterday, to which Zhao Yun replies that Mi Fang agreed to his request on the condition that Lie Fan gave his permission. Hearing this Lie Fan nodded his head and said that he gave his permission since Mi Fang had agreed, and with Zhao Yun now swearing his allegiance to Lie Fan then he could be rest assured that Top Secret would not go out. So Lie Fan assigned Zhao Yun as one of his personal generals like Mi Fang, Xu Rong, and Zhang Liao who led his battalion and army for now until he found a perfect role to utilize Zhao Yun efficiently. Zhao Yun cupped his hand toward Lie Fan receiving the order Lie Fam had given to him, then Lie Fan told one of his servants to take a piece of paper and pen write about Zhao Yun’s official appointment, and place his name then took out his officials seal from his sleeve that was actually from his system inventory and stamp it. After stamping his seal as a form of recognition, Lie Fan gave it to Zhao Yun and told him to show this to Mi Fang and others who asked him if he had served under him and what is his official position. Receiving the paper from Lie Fan’s hand, Zhao Yin thanked Lie Fan for this and promised to do his best to serve Lie Fan, where Lie Fan node this head recycling his promise and told Zhao Yun that his official seal and official residence would be given in two to three days. Also, Lie Fan informs Zhao Yun that his White Horse Cavalry would become one of Lie Fan’s personal battalions so he can rest assured that no one will mess with Gongsun Zan’s legacy which will continue to live on under Zhao Yun’s leadership. This was a very great favor Lie Fan had bestowed upon him in Zhao Yun’s eyes, so he kneeled down once again thanking Lie Fan for his trust in him and the favor he had shown, while never expecting that this would happen as he had steeled himself in case he was put off as the general of the White Horse Cavalry. Lie Fan let out a sigh, now realizing why Zhao Yun even though wasn’t part of the Peach Oath garden of Liu Bei and his sworn brothers, was very loyal to Liu Bei to the core even fanatically, because Zhao Yun was a very sensitive person inside his heart. Every kind of action directed to him that touched his heart especially one that touched his personal beliefs, Zhao Yun would keep inside his heart taking it as a favor that was given to him, some form of trust that he received. So that’s why he was very loyal to Liu Bei because in terms of playing a kind man and one that always gives opportunity after opportunity to his retainers was Liu Bei, utilizing his acting level to the maximum. Lie Fan once again helped Zhao Yun to stand up and told him that this is what he should do, to honor Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan’s legacy as Gongsun Zan was a role model for all, defending the border of the empire against foreign enemies such as the Xiongnus. After saying that, Lie Fan said that he had to go back to Lu Lingqi who was waiting for him, so he ended their meeting for now and they will meet again in several days, Zhao Yun gave his understanding and agreement immediately taking his leave after saying goodbye to Lie Fan. Lie Fan in a festive mood as he finally recruits Zhao Yun, goes back to the garden where Lu Lingqi is waiting for him, she sees the happy Lie Fan, saying to him looks like everything is going well as he is in a very good mood. Lie Fan nodded his head hearing what Lu Lingqi said, he approached Lu Lingqi and seat down right next to her, then said that he finally recruited another talented and powerful general who could rival Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, and Dian Wei in the future. Lu Lingqi: “So powerful?! I never expected that you evaluate General Zhao Yun so highly Brother Lie Fan, I knew how powerful Uncle Zhang, General Huang, and General Dian were, since you praised him so highly which means his future is limitless, congratulations on gaining another strong helper.” Lie Fan: “Haha! Thank You for your words, you will see yourself in the future how strong Zilong would be, maybe he could even rival me if I stop training. By the way, didn’t I tell you to call me husband now? Qi’er why do you still call me brother?” Lu Lingqi: *blushed* “It’s too embarrassing! We aren’t married yet, so why do I need to call Brother Lie Fan husband now, we haven’t held our marriage yet!” Lie Fan: “What’s so embarrassing about it Qi’er, you will become my wife in 1 month and a half so calling me your husband in advance is nothing embarrassing, and you already promised before so let me hear it wife, call me husband!” Lu Lingqi: “You?! Fine! Hus-husband...” Lie Fan: “What? Wife, I couldn’t hear what you just said, you usually speak very loud!” Lu Lingqi: “Husband! Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m". There I have said it right?! Now let’s continue enjoying the sight, you’re destroying the atmosphere humph!” Lie Fan seeing the tsundere Lu Lingqi only let out a loud laugh, even though he was always called husband by his wives every day, he didn’t know why he felt immense satisfaction after hearing Lu Lingqi call him husband. Lu Lingqi seeing Lie Fan acting like this, turned even redder so as to hide her shyness she pinched Lie Fan on the waist, causing him to let out a startled cry that caused Lu Lingqi to laugh. As Lie Fan was enjoying his time with Lu Lingqi in his garden, far away from his position Cao Cao who was in Xuchang right now was holding a meeting with his advisors and generals to discuss the next course of action. Even though Yuan Shao had halted his preparation to attack him, Cao Cao hadn’t stopped his preparation in case Yuan Shao suddenly decided to attack him, but waiting for Yuan Shao to attack him was a waste of time in Cao Cao’s opinion. So he held this meeting to discuss the next action that his force would take, even though before there were plans to invade Xinye to take it from Liu Bei’s hand, right now wasn’t a good time since Liu Bei’s Army was still stationed there. Cao Cao: “Everyone, you must have known that there have been some changes in the landscape of the land in the past couple of months, Lie Fan keeps expanding his border, the Sun Clan has a new leader and has also expanded their land, Liu Bei usurped Xiangyang from Liu Biao, and Ma Teng now holds Chang’An, what do you think we should do so we aren’t left behind in term of progress?” Cheng Yu: “My Lord, hasn’t our course of action been decided that we are preparing against the Yuan Shao’s invasion and wanting to invade Xinye while waiting for the right moment?” Cao Cao: “Yes that’s what I have thought previously, but seeing the rapid progress from our surroundings I think we shouldn’t just sit and wait, especially since Xinye right now is full of Liu Bei’s men.” Guo Jia: “I agree with My Lord’s assessment, Lie Fan was expanding at a rapid speed every year or two he would expand his land, the Sun Clan also expanded their land at a rapid speed due to their alliance with Lie Fan, and even Liu Bei managed to gain another land to rule, so we couldn’t just stay silent, does My Lord have anything in mind?” Cao Cao: “Yes there is, every one of you should have known about the changes in Chang’An, the internal struggle between Ma Teng and Han Sui. I think this is the perfect time for us to scheme over Chang’An slowly the entire Liang Province!” Xun Yu: “My Lord if we do this endeavor it will stretch our supply line too thinly, I don’t recommend for us to do this expansion, and the fight against Ma Teng and Han Sui would take too much of our military might.” Xi Zhicai: “Master Xun Yu, why do we need to fight against Ma Teng and Han Sui? We only needed to fight against Ma Teng, due to Ma Teng winning the internal struggle Han Sui’s power was weakened by a large margin and I think we could have him join our side in this fight.” Cao Cao: “Haha! Yes, what Zhicai has just said is true! what I have in mind was in line with what Zhicai had just said, Wenruo I understand your concern but I think you all understand that if we didn’t do any expansion, we would be defeated by Lie Fan or Yuan Shao who have a larger domain to supply their army.” Xun Yu who hears what Cao Cao has just said nods his head, what Cao Cao has just said is correct because he knew that it was correct but as the domestic advisor for Cao Cao, he still needed to lie about his concern. In the case of them opening a war theater to the West, he needed to direct their supply there and it needed a steady line of shipment and would extend at rapid speed, especially since he was optimistic that Cao Cao would defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui but it needed time, something that Cao Cao lacked off. In case Lie Fan or Yuan Shao or even both of them decide to attack, Cao Cao would be put in a precarious situation as he needs to fight on three fronts something that Cao Cao can’t do for now. At this time while Xun Yu was mulling over the supply problem, Guo Jia gave his support to Xi Zhicai and Cao Cao’s suggested course of action, as he saw that this was the perfect chance. Because Lie Fan was resting after his war with Liu Biao, Yuan Shao was distracted by his northern border, and Liu Bei was fighting Liu Biao for Jing Province, all of Cao Cao’s enemies were busy right now and he believed that if they attacked Ma Teng and managed to work with Han Sui, they have already ended the war before the whole land would know, especially if they manage to block the news. ____________________________ Name: Lie Fan Title: Three Heroes Who Defeat Lu Bu Age: 30 (197 AD) Level: 16 Next Level: 462,000 Renown: 825 Cultivation: Yin Yang Separation (level 9) SP: 1,121,700 ATTRIBUTE POINTS STR: 936 (+20) VIT: 598 (+20) AGI: 583 (+10) INT: 587 CHR: 96 WIS: 509 WILL: 397 ATR Points: 0 CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Tang12 Creation is hard, cheer me up!
