Kapitel 79: Xun You Joining and Visiting Wang Yun
Lie Fan hearing that realizes that Xun You will answer the long-awaited subtle invitation that he and Jia Xu have been giving to him since the time that Xun You planted the seeds of doubt about the Han Dynasty by Jia Xu and aggravated further by Sun Qian.
Lie Fan: "Of course please Master Xun You, the floor is yours to speak."
Xun You: "I came here today to accept your subtle Invitation, Governor Lie, I understand now that the Han Dynasty will not live on even You one of the most influential people right now can't change that and only focus on lessening the suffering of the people when it happens and I don't want to stay in a sinking boat when the bigger and better boat is inviting me to join on their boat."
Jia Xu: "Are you sure that you are committed to serving My Lord? As we don't want you to still have an ounce of loyalty to the dying Han Dynasty, an affection for the dynasty who watched you grow up is fine but if you are loyal to it while knowing it was corroding from the inside then no."
Xun You stays silent and Lie Fan lets Jia Xu and Sun Qian of course handle this as both of them are much better at doing this than him, why have an amateur that is lucky enough to recruit Jia Xu like him doing it while there's a professional like Jia Xi and Sun Qian.
Sun Qian: "I can vouch for Master Xun You, he has been talking with me ever since My Lord and Master Jia Xu left for Xu Province, he felt that Master Wang Yun even had his hidden agenda after joining General He Jin Faction alongside him."
Jia Xu: "Of Course, Master Wang Yun has his hidden agenda, I intercepted a letter from the Imperial Doctor that communicates with him and he already knew that the Emperor was critically ill."
Xun You: "What?! The Emperor is ill?!"
Jia Xu: "Yes, his lavish and indulgent lifestyle is taking a toll on his body, and growing older also doesn't help his organs."
Xun You: "Then that means any minute now the chaos can happen! Your Majesty hasn't even appointed his successor yet!"
Lie Fan: "That's why we should act as Your Majesty's supporters and let him have an easy mind choosing his successor, after that we will leave Luoyang under the pretense that the Yellow Turbans remnant is acting up again in Xu Province."
Xun You: "That means we are stirring up the pot and let chaos loose?! What about the people of Luoyang?!"
Lie Fan: "Rest easy Master Xun You, When we leave I will give an ultimatum that if even a single innocent life is taken they will be considered my enemy and I will join the opposite faction to destroy them."
Jia Xu and Sun Qian both nodded their head indicating that they agreed with what Lie Fan just said, Xun You is relieved that Lie Fan and his advisors have thought about all kinds of scenarios that can happen.
Lie Fan: "Then will Master Xun You now feel relieved to accept my Invitation and commit 100% to me?"
Xun You: "Xun You sees The Lord!"
*DING!!!*
[Congratulations Host for recruiting Xun You one half of the Xun Clan prodigy completing the achievement 'The Humble and Loyal Advisor Of Wei' receive 300.000 taels, 200.000 EXP, 3 potions of each attribute, and 1 Brass telescope alongside its schematic]
Lie Fan received the rewards happily and having a telescope is a great help in coordination on the battlefield, Advisors like Jia Xu and Xun You will become more terrified if they can receive signals from far away.
Lie Dan laughs happily and gets up from his seat to help Xun You stand up from taking a knee to swear his loyalty, While doing so he checks Xun You's attributes.

Having another great advisor such as Xun You boosted the capability of his think tank group massively and the number of tactics also plans that came out were more diverse as Xun You is a conservative person and prefers safer plans to be executed.
Lie Fan: "With Master Xun You are now at our side, then we can do so many things faster and reduce Master Jia Xu's burden also Haha!"
Xun You: "My Lord's praises are too high, Master Jia Xu can handle everything single-handedly and still provide better results than me."
Lie Fan: "Master Xun You are too humble, with the talent that you have, and Master Xun You are still young your future achievement will be limitless!"
Xun You only bowed when Lie Fan praised him, with Xun You joining there's a position reshuffle for Lie Fan advisors. Xun You was appointed as Lie Fan's Military Advisor which was Jia Xu's former position and Jia Xu now becomes the Main or Head advisor of Lie Fan Think Tank while Sun Qian still holds the position of Foreign Relations Advisor.
After the meeting, Lie Fan invited everyone to have breakfast together to commemorate Xun You joining Lie Fan banner, Lie Fan led them towards the dining room where he informed the butler to tell his family to eat at the East Hall as he needed to go do something with his revenues later on.
In the dining room, Lie Fan orders the servant to bring some wines for them to drink and toast to Xun You after enjoying the delicious cuisine that was prepared for them. Lie Fan told everyone that he wanted to visit Wang Yun as he was their only key to knowing the hearts of other neutral officials.
Jia Xu and Xun You agree with Lie Fan as the neutral faction can be called the loyalists that supported the Emperor, they were squished from both sides by General He Jin and The Eunuch Faction as they didn't have a figurehead strong enough to lead them.
Sun Qian gives some of his insight as he is ordered to lobby many officials when Lie Fan leaves for Xu Province, He was close with some of the Neutral Faction and can persuade them to join Lie Fan's Faction turning the Neutral into 'loyalist' Faction but walking under Lie Fan's thumb.
After Breakfast accompanied by his bodyguards and Think Tanks, Lie Fan boarded his Carriage and drove toward Wang Yun estate. On the way to Wang Yun Estate, he can see the condition of the people of Luoyang is depressed especially the lower-class people who were squashed by the noble and merchant class.
Arriving at Wang Yun's estate, Lie Fan and his retinue get out of the carriage and Sun Qian informs the guard of Lie Fan's identity describing that Lie Fan wants to see Wang Yun.
The Guard hearing Lie Fan's Identity immediately allowed them to enter and wait at the Main Hall while He told the other guard to inform Wang Yun that he had a guest who wanted to see him.
Lie Fan and his retinue walk toward the Main Hall and wait there, while one of the guards asks a passing servant where Wang Yun's position is right now and tells him that he is having breakfast right in the dining room.
The Guard arriving at the dining room saw that Wang Yun and Diao Chan had just finished eating their breakfast, He Informed Wang Yun that Lie Fan was visiting and looking for him saying that he wanted to meet Wang Yun.
Wang Yun was surprised that Lie Fan visited him this morning as he thought Lie Fan would spend his time with his family today so he told the guards to inform them that he would arrive at the Main hall in a couple of minutes.
Diao Chan at the side hearing that Lie Fan is visiting her eyes begin to glow as she finally can probe what feelings she has toward Lie Fan is it only curiosity or something more and if Lie Fan feels the same way as her
Wang Yun stands up from his stool and when he wants to go towards the Main Hall he remembers that Diao Chan his adopted daughter is interested in Lie Fan which he thinks can be used to make a marriage alliance between his clan and Lie Fan.
While he doesn't like the prospect of his only daughter becoming Lie Fan's 2nd wife maybe there's a chance to make her become the Main Wife even though Lie Fan already introduced Ying Yue to him before.
Wang Yun: "Chan'er, help Father serve some tea for our important guest."
Diao Chan: "Yes Father, what kind of tea leaf does Chan'er need to use to receive our guest?"
Wang Yun: "Use the tea leaves that Father received from the Emperor that Father stored at the warehouse as a reward for Father's services."
Diao Chan nodded her head and proceeded to walk toward the warehouse accompanied by her personal maid, Wang Yun after talking with Diao Chan go walk towards the main hall.
Lie Fan and his retinues are talking about some miscellaneous topics when Wang Yun comes and greets them all apologizing that he was late to greet them as he have just finished breakfast.
Lie Fan says it's okay and that he understands as he comes to visit Wang Yun without informing him and at the time when people were having breakfast. Wang Yun told everyone to take a sit then he sat in the main chair because he was the host while Lie Fan sat on his right side as the most esteemed guest.
Wang Yun: "Governor Lie may I know the reason why are you visiting me today? Tomorrow we will meet alongside the others, is there something that you want to talk about privately?"
Lie Fan: "Yes Master Wang Yun, I wanted to know have any officials that aren't announcing their position to join both factions and stay neutral have ever visited you?"
Wang Yun: "Yes they have, They ask me for advice to please both factions and they are generally the type of people who see work as more important than socializing and that's why I also protect them as they are the backbone of why the Imperial Court is still functioning to this day."
