Zhang Kai was in a compromised situation and when he tried to hold his sword to deflect Lie Fan's halberd his head was sliced from the top as his sword can't handle the pressure and broke down killing him immediately, Lie Fan doesn't even try to recruit him as he is naturally evil and greedy than the Yellow Turbans commander he received that believe in Zhang Jiao's cause even though they were bandits
*DING!*
[ Congratulations Host for Killing Zhang Kai and Stopping Ze Rong from going down the dark path you completed the achievement 'No More Cao Cao's Revenge'
Host Received 200.000 EXP, 250.000 tales, and Necklace Of Protection as your reward]
•Necklace Of Protection
Necklace that can help protect the host from live-threatening injuries once and will be broken when its used to protect the host
Without caring for the rewards, Lie Fan helps the woman up and puts some cloth over her to cover her. The woman was crying while thanking Lie Fan for saving her life to which Lie Fan reply for her to stay here until the battle is over
Leaving the house, Lie Fan guarded by Bo Cai and Liu Pi fights alongside his soldiers to kill the Yellow Turbans in the village, as this is a small village that's why almost all of the Yellow Turbans wait outside for their turns
On the other side, Huang Zhong commands the army as their Chief General when Lie Fan or Jia Xu is not in position, Huang Zhong pinpoint some area that was used by the Yellow Turbans soldier to runaway
From the 4.000 men, he sends 2.000 to support the infantries while the rest continue sniping Yellow Turbans that tried to run away deserting the battle to stop them from forming groups
Chao Bai is like a tiger that hasn't eaten yet, Using his large mace to kill the yellow turbans left and right with a precise hit on their head and Zang Ba led the cavalry attacking from the flank and surrounding the Yellow turbans in one big circle
The Battle ensued for about an hour ending with The Yellow Turbans soldier surrendering leaving 1.000 soldiers from their 8.000 soldiers, When Lie Fan arrive back at the battlefield Huang Zhong is organizing the prisoners
Huang Zhong: "My Lord! It's good to see that you are uninjured if you are then we are going to receive a long nagging from Advisor Jia"
Lie Fan: "Hahaha with Bo Cai and Liu Pi at my side the chance of me getting injured is low, How is the battle? Do we have any casualties?"
Huang Zhong: "We lost 500 men My Lord with 300 heavy injuries and 1.000 light injuries, we managed to capture 1.000 Yellow Turbans as prisoners and the rest is killed in battle"
Lie Fan: "Bring our dead brothers back to Xiapi to be buried there, their families will receive compensation and do their best to treat our injured brothers"
Huang Zhong heed the orders and everything was done exactly like Lie Fan's order, the Yellow Turbans were used as a prisoner army like when he was campaigning against The Main army of the Yellow Turbans
The survivors of the Yellow Turbans attack were put under one group, there are only 100 survivors mostly women and children while the rest are elderly people
Lie Fan brought them along back to Langye after they finished cleaning up the area with the dead bodies of the Yellow Turbans ordered by Lie Fan to be piled up and then burned to prevent sickness to be spread
After spending 5 days to finally return to Langye, Lie Fan was told by Huang Zhong that the bodies of their fallen soldiers started to decompose so he ordered them to be buried here in Langye to be remembered as heroes
When Lie Fan come back to Langye after putting the survivors in a safe place, Jia Xu received him at the camp and informed him of how the Oriole have collected enough corruption evidence to either cleaned up the government or hold them under a leash
Lie Fan: "What do Master Jia Xu think we should do?"
Jia Xu: "I think we should hold on to them with this leash like how we make the Xiapi officials give back 80% of the wealth they corrupted from the City funds and have the Oriole watch them from the shadows to monitor them"
Lie Fan: "Then we do as Master Jia Xu suggested, Tomorrow we will hold a meeting at the Main hall to inform them of this, we do the same way we do it like at Xiapi"
The next day, under the evidence that was shown to them Lie Fan and Jia Xu, makes them return the wealth to the city while they still hold their position but with a knife above their head where this evidence can make them lose everything
With the job at Langye done, Lie Fan decided to continue heading south bringing his army to cleanse Xu Province from the remnants of the Yellow Turbans stopping at Xiapi to resupply and then heading towards Xiaopei continued by going to Guangling near Wu Province becoming their last stop
Before leaving Langye, Lie Fan takes 5.000 soldiers from Langue Military resulting in them having 5.000 soldiers from their 10.000 to be included in his army, so he brought 30.900 men with him to begin to explore Xu Province
It can be said that Xu Province is relatively peaceful and not many Yellow Turbans remnants headed to Xu Province as big as the Zhang Kai group, the 30.900 men army intimidated many Yellow Turbans resulting in either total annihilation of them or the surrendering which Lie Fan incorporated them to his army
When they finally reached Xiaopei after a month, Lie Fan's army needle more supplies thanks to their number increasing making Jia Xu suggested to Lie Fan to cut their armies, Lie Fan not wanting to lose his manpower for future battles denied this at first
Jia Xu argued by saying that it was not worth it to bring an army of this size, so he compromised by suggesting that Lie Fan put his 15.300 men in Xiapi while the rest from Xiapi and Langye military alongside the Prisoners army numbering 17.600 men will be used as their military power to do this job
Lie Fan thought about Jia Xu's plan, he can save his Elite manpower while also training the 'new' army and even if they died the damage will not be as big as losing his original soldiers
Seeing that Lie Fan finally relented Jia Xu has a sigh of relief as to many soldiers can bring their enter supply down, Jia Xu recommends Ze Rong lead the troops back to Xiapi which Lie Fan agrees with so he convened a meeting explaining the plan
Ze Rong was happy as he finally was appointed to do something important by Lie Fan, he promised to live up to the trust that Lie Fan gave him which Lie Fan trust that he will do so.
Ze Rong was touched by the trust Lie Fan puts in him and Solemnly swears his loyalty to Lie Fan, Lie Fan laughs and says that he already swear his loyalty before but replied to Ze Rong that before is different now he will serve Lie Fan wholeheartedly
Not expecting to have another general at his disposal, Lie Fan happily accepted Ze Rong's loyalty even though his strength will be lower than all of his generals and bodyguards but he need generals like this as a low-middle-ranked general
With Ze Rong leading 15.300 men back, Lie Fan now have 17.600 men plus the 2.000 Yellow Turbans taken as prisoner army having 19.600 men at his disposal and with the army shrinking in size Lie Fan and Jia Xu began to come up with new strategies and using the Vision Map to see the terrain that they will encounter
Lie Fan at Xiaopei prioritizes seeing their defenses as their wall and watch tower if they were in good condition as Xiaopei is the biggest city that acts as a buffer zone between Xu Province and Yan Province where Cao Cao will build its base power
Jia Xu pointed out that due to the geographical condition that Xiaopei is almost a plains area on all sides building a canal for Xiaopei as they don't have one yet and it can raise Xiaopei's defense
Lie Fan approved of Jia Xu's idea but lamented the funds Xiaopei has aren't enough for building one, Jia Xu told him it's not required to build one right now they can amass the funds and manpower first needed to make the canal
Lamented the lack of funds, Lie Fan focused on gathering more manpower by making the Yellow Turbans soldiers surrender which they then can be used as manpower for building structures or as a farmer
After spending time at Xiaopei, He continued south toward Guangling where there they find heavier resistances thanks to Yellow Turbans that originated from Yu Province and Yan Province fled to the southern Xu Province where lack the presence of the Imperial Army spending almost 3 months before he reached Guangling
Needing more manpower for labor, Lie Fan and Jia Xu use tactics such as ambush and cutting off their supply line making them go low on supply until they surrender then the talented ones were incorporated into the prisoner army making his army now numbering 20.600 men and the rest about 5.000 Yellow Turbans was sent to Xiaopei
Under Chao Bai's supervision and 5.000 soldiers, he escorted the Yellow Turbans there to start 'volunteering' to build the canal, when Lie Fan reach Guangling he meets with the Governor of Guangling
???: "Hello Inspector Lie, It's nice to finally meet you at Guangling the lonely city here in Xu Province!"
Lie Fan: "Greetings, while maybe geographically Guangling is the only big city in southern Xu Province but it plays an important role as a buffer zone between Xu and Yang Province"
Jia Xu: "Hello Governor I'm Jia Xu Inspector Lie's advisor, may I know your name as you haven't introduced yourself"
Zhang Chao: "I'm sorry for my abruptness, I'm Zhang Chao Governor of Guangling that was appointed by the Imperial Court and Brother Of Zhang Miao the Governor of Chenliu"

Zhang Chao: "I'm sorry for my abruptness, I'm Zhang Chao Governor of Guangling that was appointed by the Imperial Court, and Brother Of Zhang Miao the Governor of Chenliu"
Lie Fan already expected this man Zhang Chao to become the Governor of Guangling as it matches the timeline where both of the Zhang Brothers will hold this position as they will have to consolidate their influence in the area before they joined Cao Cao and Tao Qian respectively then betraying their lord to join Lu Bu
Lie Fan: "So It's Governor Zhang, then I wanted you to show each report from your departments to be sent right now for me and my advisor to inspect"
Zhang Chao: "Of Course Lord Inspector! Right away!"
When Lie Fan and Jia Xu enter the main hall, Zhang Chao was approached by a man who gave the same age as him in his middle twenties to talk with him
???: "Brother Zhang, it's good that you aren't corrupting the city funds now as our Inspector is here and his advisor is not just a nobody but also with the bearing he has"
Zhang Chao: "It's great that I listened to you Brother Zang Hong, If I haven't listened to you then maybe I will lose this position I just got"
Zang Hong: "Brother Zhang can rest assured, I will collect the reports myself and give them to you to be given to the Inspector and his advisor"
Zang Hong is Zhang Chao's friend and advisor, due to his ingenuity he persuades Zhang Chao to join hands with his brother in the future when to join the coalition against Dong Zhuo which makes them one of the earliest members after Cao Cao
Lie Fan and Jia Xu enter the main hall, seeing the pristine condition of the main hall both of them raise their expectation of the reports under Zhang Chao's leadership
When Zhang Chao and Zang Jong enter the main hall together, they see Lie Fan and Jia Xu waiting for them with Lie Fan sitting at the Governor's seat and Jia Xu at his right side showing their position
Zhang Chao: "My lord inspector, these are the reports from the departments here in Guangling that my advisor also Military Commander have collected"
Zang Hong gives the scroll and books he brings to Jia Xu, Lie Fan from his seat takes a look at the advisor slash military commander that Zhang Chao introduce and knew that this will be Zang Hao that Zhang Chao has as his advisor
Lie Fan: "May I know the name of this gentleman?"
Zang Hong: "My Name is Zang Hong, Inspector Lie thank you for coming and gracing our city"
Lie Fan: "Hahaha! This is my duty as the inspector of Xu Province that was bestowed upon me by Your Majesty"
Using the eye of Erlang Shen Lie Fan wanted to know what attributes Zhang Chao and Zang Hong have as they play an important role in the Cao Cao saga where they dare to betray him and see that they have pretty decent stats
•Zhang Cao
STR: 323(Max) VIT: 70 AGI: 67 INT: 107
•Zang Hong
STR: 450(Max) VIT: 82 AGI: 80 INT: 113
Jia Xu at the side checks the accounts and reports meticulously seeing if there are signs of corruption or money laundering, Finding that it's almost clean except for some clerks and high-ranking officials there's no sign of Zhang Chao corrupting the city funds
Lie Fan that was talking with Zhang Chao and Zang Hong when he was informed of this by Jia Xu immediately Lie Fan praises Zhang Chao and Zang Hong for their honesty and rewarded them by giving them money rewards from the city treasury
Zhang Chao and Zang Hong were relieved that they were not put under any false evidence or claims as they don't know how Lie Fan and Jia Xu personally is
Lie Fan told Zhang Chao and Zang Hong to keep up the good work, he ask them if they are any reports of Yellow Turbans around here and Zang Hong told them that there is a large group of Yellow Turbans that acted as bandits here raiding a couple of villages near the border with Yu Province
Lie Fan says that he will handle them and asked if they wanted to join him in doing so which Zhang Chao rejected but recommended Zang Hong follow and learn under Lie Fan as his battle experience is much more than the two of them even though they are older than Lie Fan
Zang Hong accepted the invitation and Lie Fan told him to meet them tomorrow morning at the western gate of the city as his army is also stationed there, Jia Xu will follow Lie Fan this time as he has nothing to do here in Guangling
Being led to the room where they will rest for the day, Lie Fan lay down on his bed and thought of ways how to make Zang Hong and Zhang Chao join him as both of these men can be used as Governor and General for overseeing cities
The next day, Lie Fan accompanied by his retinue and Zang Hong began their journey toward the border of Xu Province and Yu Province spending a week before they were near the border
When they were near the border they saw some villages and small townships that were sacked by the Yellow Turbans but the dead bodies were not that many
When Lie Fan sends Huang Zhong to ask what happened there, he finds some survivors who described that the Yellow Turbans come and took all their supplies and kidnap some women while trying not to kill many people so they can have as little time as possible to evade an imperial army
They also told Huang Zhong that they were safe before but due to Yu Province being scoured by the Imperial Army the Yellow Gurbans ran here and stayed for a while now they pillaged villages and small townships for supplies to go back to Yu Province
Lie Fan receiving the reports, immediately orders his troops to advance at top speed chasing this Yellow Turbans group that managed to evade him and Zhu Jun's army before when they were sent to Yu Province
3 days later when they arrived at a small township named Jiujiang, They saw that the city was under siege, and Lie Fan held a meeting to how to attack the Yellow Turbans
Putting down Vision Map, Jia Xu loved this mal as it was so detailed and pointed out that from the looks of the Yellow Turbans army they were numbering between 5.000 to 10.000 people which Lie Fan can see surely from the map they were numbered 10.000
Jia Xu told Zang Ba to lead the 1.500 Cavalries each to do a pincer attack from their flank don't ever stop to have that rhythm, Zang Hong will lead the 7.000 infantries to attack from their rear and Huang Zhong led his 4.000 archers to rain down arrows nonstop
Lie Fan asked where will he be positioned and Jia Xu objected Lie Fan entered the battle personally so his 1.000 Guard Battalion will stay put acting as reinforcement when Jia Xu feels what zone needed reinforcement
Lie Fan feels sad but understands the situation as he has to keep himself safe but he wanted the Yellow Turbans leader to be captured alive as he wanted to meet them
After the meeting, the battle began as Jia Xu have planned, and Zang Hong who was appointed to lead an army for the first time feels a bit nervous Lie Fan seeing that he ordered Bo Cai to accompany him
Bo Cai accompanying Zang Hong lead the cavalries to attack the yellow turbans from their left flank and Zang Ba attacked from the right flank, followed by Huang Zhong archers raining down arrows continuously before Chao Bai leading his infantry clashed with the Yellow Turbans
The Yellow Turbans were a bit more battle-hardened than the average Yellow Turbans they met so the resistance is a bit more than before, seeing the struggle of the combined army of Xiapi, Langye, and Prisoners army Jia Xu send Lie Fan to reinforce Zang Hong who was leading the infantry
Finally having some action to be done, Lie Fan cautiously lead his battalion with Liu Pi beside him attacking the Yellow Turbans from the left flank
The elite guard battalions led by Lie Fan entering the fray change the battle killing Yellow Turbans left and right, when they reached where Zang Hong was they saw Bo Cai having a duel with looks like a Yellow Turbans Commander
Lie Fan: "Zang Hong does the man dueling Bo Cai says his name when he initiated the duel?"
Zang Hong: "Yes Lord Inspector, he called himself He Yi and challenged me at first but Sir Bo Cai accepted it as I was nervous"
Lie Fan: "It's okay it's normal to be nervous but you have to learn to turn that into gutsiness if you wanted to survive"
Zang Hong: "Yes thank you, Lor-"
???: "You there I'm Going Du Yellow Turbans Commander! Accept my blade"
When Zang Hong wanted to thank Lie Fan for his encouragement, a Yellow Turban commander with name Gong Du attacked Zang Hong with a Guandao
Liu Pi at the side received the surprise attack with his Podao, Zang Hong that was almost attacked was shocked and Lie Fan at the side felt ashamed if he doesn't talk with Zang Hong maybe they will not be ambushed like this telling himself to not repeat it in the future
Zang Hong feels embarrassed to be attacked in front of Lie Fan feeling his honor to be besmirched and told Liu Pi that he will handle this Gong Du, holding his Hu Yagiang(tiger fang spear) replacing Liu Pi attacking Gong Du
Lei Fan is at the side watching Zang Hong protected by Liu Pi and his Guard Battalion, helping Zang Hong perfect his martial arts as by strength he already dominated the duel while doing so he saw Bo Cai knocking out this He Yi with the handle of his Glaive capturing him in the process
Gong Du the Yellow Turban Commander also saw this and felt desperate as his army is also being decimated he shouted that he surrender and told his brothers to put down their weapons, Zang Hong who was attacking Gong Du stopped his swing motion surprised that Gong Du surrenders while Lie Fan told Liu Pi to knock out Gong Du
