Chapter 38: Meeting First Famous General
Lie Fan: "Both of you don't believe the two of them? Fine then I will show you what makes them believe me and join under my wing to learn the true Way of Peace that Zhang Jiao hasn't shown you yet as he was a fraud"
Lie Fan showed them the power of system Inventory again, taking things out and putting them back in with cream on the top where he showed them the Book Of Knowledge writing the event happening right now by itself
Liu Pi and Bo Cai were amazed by what the Book of Knowledge do make their loyalty and reverence toward Lie Fan rise through the roof, Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong were shocked, afraid, and amazed at what was happening in front of them real powers that were bestowed by heaven to Lie Fan
Zhang Mancheng: "Master! We have sinned and been blinded by evil ways to do evil things under an imposter using Heaven as their will!"
Zhao Hong: "We promised to change our ways and protect you for the rest of our life to cleanse us from these sins!"
Lie Fan: "Your sins will be cleansed when the world we dreamed of reaches peace! From today forward you two will join the Yellow Ghosts to protect me and the world to reach peace!"
ZM+ZH: "We Thank the Lord for your generosity and way to salvation!"
Lie Fan used the Eye of Erlang Shen to see the attributes of both of them to see their power level, and he include Bo Cai and Liu Pi also to see their growth

•Zhao Hong

Seeing the attributes of his Bodyguards between the middle level makes him feel safer on the battlefield but he will never let his guard down even though he got tho bodyguards
Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong submitted to Lie Fan joining his side to protect Lie Fan from the growing danger in the unpredictable battle for hegemony, he feels the Yellow Ghosts need 1 or 2 more members to reach their potential as elite general bodyguards
Lie Fan ordered them to use a mask and tired yellow scarves on their head matching Liu Pi and Bo Cai, the mask they made Lie Fan yesterday from wood with 2 holes made for their eyes to see
Lie Fan plans to make a mask design for when they go back to Huai'An for his bodyguards so they have the same mask as a unit in the future becoming one of his symbols in the future
After Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong put on their mask and change their clothes, Lie Fan now accompanied by 4 bodyguards alongside Xu Kai goes back to Wan to meet with Qin Xie and Sun Qian
At Wan, everyone was in a festive mood as the Yellow Turbans that threaten their city has been defeated making them all feel safe after 2 weeks of terror
Qin Xie and Sun Qian were giving rations to Lie Fan's Army when Lie Fan and his retinues arrived at Wan, Sun Qian inform him that tonight Qin Xie will invite them to a banquet to celebrate their victory
Lie Fan said for today everyone can enjoy themselves drink some wine and then introduce Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong to Sun Qian without saying their names first as they are in public
They busy themselves giving extra rations to the soldiers until the evening when they changed their clothes and then ride towards Wan Estate to join the Banquet
Qin Xie welcomed them when they arrived, he led them toward the banquet room where high-ranking officials and generals of Wan have waited for them to start the banquet
His arrival means the banquet commenced, food and wine served lavishly by beautiful maids that increase the aura in the room from festive to jovial with some of them already fancying the maids, especially the young generals who just returned from battle
Lie Fan was enticed by many young and beautiful maids, they were ordered to accompany Lie Fan by Qin Xie and they were happy to do so with some of them taking a fancy to his handsome and youthful vigor while the others fancy the position he have
Lie Fan was not interested at first, he eats the food and received toast from many officials and generals including his army generals, but because he received too much toast he began to get drunk many maids decided to use this opportunity to tease him
Lie Fan who was drunk began to accept the teasing he got and even returned the teasing with one of his own, the wine clouded his judgment lowering his vigilance as when his brain functions normally he would think that this is a ploy used against him
Qin Xie who saw Lie Fan playing with the maids feels happy as this is one of the gifts he prepared for Lie Fan. fortunately, Sun Qian was beside Lie Fan, and Lie Fan even though drunk still listen to his advisors so Lie Fan untangled himself from the maids and with his bodyguard's help was escorted back to his room with Sun Qian saying goodbye to the host in his stead.
The next day Lie Fan woke up with a hangover and remembered what happened last night, he was thankful that Sun Qian was there to stop him even though he love beautiful women that don't mean he will do intercourse with all beautiful women he met
When he is done taking a bath and changing back into his armor, Lie Fan walks out greeted by Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong who guarded his door while Liu Pi and Bo Cai take a rest after their shift is done
Accompanied by his bodyguards, he walks to the garden gazebo and meets Qin Xie there who was enjoying the scenery while drinking some tea
Qin Xie: "Good Morning Vice General Lie, how was your sleep last night?"
Lie Fan: "Pretty bad with the hangover haha! The banquet last night was very enjoyable I thank Administrator Qin for it"
Qin Xie: "It's nothing for the heroes of Wan, with Vice General will continue securing the southern area of Yu Province is good for Vice General to take some steam off and enjoy a lovely banquet"
Lie Fan: " First May I know who is The General that leads your Archer Battalion Administrator Qin?"
Qin Xie: " Oh that man? His name is Huang Zhong a veteran commander here in Wan and not many people know him that close as he always keeps everything to themselves, why does Vice General Lie interested in him?"
Lie Fan hearing the name Huang Zhong now began to show a smile that only he can understand, Huang Zhong was one of Liu Bei's 5 times generals and can match his prowess with Lu Bu and Guan Yu only because his old age hindered his true prowess
Lie Fan: " His Archery skill is magnificent and I would like to recruit him to join the Imperial Army Expedition I don't know if Administrator Qin allows that?"
Qin Xie: " Hahaha of course you can! Wan is safe now and you can recruit other talented people to join the imperial army eliminating Yellow Turbans"
Lie Fan: "Then Thank You for Administrator Qin's approval, I will take My leave, Administrator Qin, thank you for your hospitality, and may we meet again in the future under better circumstances"
Qin Xie: "Wait a minute Vice General! I want to inform you that I have sent envoys to the Capital to report your merit and the heads of the Yellow Turbans leaders were brought by them as well in the future, if you ever needed any help Wan is at your services"
Lie Fan hearing that thanked Qin Xie for what he had done and promised to ever remember him if he ever needed some help which can be used in the future when Liu Biao governed Jing Province as a stepping stone for an attack on Jing Province.
Lie Fan was happy as he can use this as a stepping stone to control Yu Province in the future with Yuan Shu losing Wan from his grasp as Qin Xie is still alive not like in history when he died under Zhao Hong's hand and Wan falls under Yellow Turbans hand making Yuan Shu much easier to control Yu Province in the future
He also can meet the younger self of Huang Zhong who become famous when he is already old and under Liu Bei serving Shu Han, While the Younger Huang Zhong he believes become reclusive because of his son's sickness which why Lie Fan wanted to meet him and he can cure Huang Xu then Huang Zhong will become very loyal to him personally rather than Han dynasty
After meeting and saying goodbye to Qin Xie, Lie Fan goes to wake up Sun Qian and his other bodyguards then together they go toward Wan Training Ground and barracks informing his generals and soldiers to prepare to begin preparation to continue their expedition in 3 days
In the barracks, Lie Fan alongside Sun Qian asks for Huang Zhong's whereabouts and some soldiers show the room Huang Zhong has as the commander of the archer battalion
Lie Fan knocked on the door and heard a voice telling them to come in, Lie Fan told Sun Qian and the others he will enter by himself as he believe that Huang Zhong doesn't want to meet many people especially now that his son is sick
Entering the room Lie Fan was greeted by the sight of a middle-aged man, Lie Fan says his greeting to him, and Huang Zhong turned his head up and saw that it was Lie Fan so he stand up to return the greeting while Lie Fan used the Eye to see his attributes in which seeing his strength shocked him
•Huang Zhong
STR: 803 VIT: 200 AGI: 214 INT: 100
Huang Zhong: " Vice General Lie please forgive me for my rudeness I don't know that it was you visiting me"
Lie Fan: "It's okay Commander Huang, I'm here to recruit you t join me in eliminating the Yellow Turbans I don't know if Commander Huang wanted to join me in doing this great cause?"
Huang Zhong hearing that was ecstatic and happy as this is one of his dreams to serve the country and reach a higher position for his family, but remembering how his wife is already gone and his son's sickness his spirit to do so has been long hone in return to taking care of his only son
