Zhang Miao hearing this was surprised, as he knew that Yuan Shu had 400,000 men whom he recruited this past year. He heard this when Cao Cao held his court before he was sent to Puyang, knowing that his future was better with Lu Bu he swore his allegiance to him.
Zhang Miao's swore of allegiance makes Lu Bu ecstatic, as this increases the size of his army to 75,000 with Zhang Miao's addition of 30,000 men. Lu Bu let out a loud laugh and told Zhang Kiao that he had made the best decision of his life.
Chen Gong on the side also congratulated Lu Bu for having Zhang Miao at his side, and then he turned to Zhang Miao, welcoming him to Lu Bu's side, and said to him that from now on they would be comrades serving the same lord.
Zhang Miao smiled and told his servants to take out his oldest wine from his cellar, he told Lu Bu and Chen Gong that this wine had been stored for about 50 years since his father and now passed to him.
Hearing this Lu Bu became excited to take the wine, he told Zhang Miao that he would repay this favor with a more expensive wine, like the Fruit wine and beer that comes from Xu Province, which have a hefty price in the market right now.
While waiting for the wine, Chen Ging asked Zhang Miao to invite Xu Si and Wang Kuai who controlled some small areas around Puyang and Jibei, which could help them consolidate these parts easier and faster.
Zhang Miao knew these two men, and he promised to contact them and invite them secretly to Puyang. Zhang Miao actually hid Lu Bu and Chen Gong's whereabouts from Cao Cao and all of his men, as he knew he could be branded as a traitor before.
Now he already joined Lu Bu's side, so he would need to be extra careful in handling this situation, as they could be found out by Cao Cao and his talented ranks of advisors.
While Lu Bu and Chen Gong were talking with Zhang Miao, at Lu Bu's military camp Lu Lingqi was looking at the sky with some hint of sadness. She overhears the talk between Lu Bu and Chen Gong, where she would be wed to Yuan Shu's son.
While she had never met Yuan Shu's son, with the kind of reputation Yuan Shu has Lu Lingqi was sure that Yuan Shu's son could be the same as their father, incompetent and bad.
At this time while looking at the sky, she somewhat sees the face of Lie Fan passing before her eyes, she shakes her head trying to get that face out of her mind, as she knows the chances for them to be together are very small with the rivalry between her father and Lie Fan.
Lady Yan wanted to talk with her daughter and see the kind of mood her daughter was having right now, she approached her and sat down beside her while Lu Lingqi hugged her mother and Lady Yan also hugged her back.
Lady Yan: "What's wrong Qi'er? Why do you look so sad? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Lingqi: Mother yesterday I accidentally overheard the conversation between Father and Master Chen Gong, they have planned for me to have a marriage contract with Yuan Shu's son..."
Lady Yan: "Yuan Shu's son? Marriage contract? I see so that's why you look sad, don't worry Qi'er I'm sure that your Father and Master Chen Gong have made the perfect plan for you."
Lu Lingqi: "Mother how could I marry someone I don't know of?! And with the kind of reputation Yuan Shu has, I'm sure that his sons would be more or less the same as their Father."
Lady Yan: "Qi'er I'm sure that your Father knows what's best for you, and this can also help us face the current situation, it's also our duty to help the head of our family and fulfill our duty as members of this clan."
Lu Lingqi hearing this protested, saying that she could not accept this decision and that she would only marry men who could defeat her, then her father, Lady Yan hearing this knew immediately who is Lu Lingqi thinking of.
Lady Yan while hugging her daughter, Lady Yan caressed her daughter's hair. She asked Lu Lingqi if that man was still lingering in her mind, to which Lu Lingqi immediately reacted by saying no loudly.
Lu Lingqi then realizes that her reaction is too big, so she just shrinks her body and hides her face in Lady Yan's abdomen. Lady Yan seeing this just smiles, but also feels sad as at times like this marriage alliance is important for Lu Bu's development.
Her daughter would not have the chance of love like her and her husband, but she also knew that this was one of the women's duties of this era. They have to follow and obey the words of their husband or father.
Lady Yan just sighed while holding her daughter. At this time in Xiapi, Lie Fan is playing with Chenchen and Yaoyao when suddenly he hears the long-lost system announcement.
*DING!!!*
[Host has just received a new mission 'The Continuation Of The God Of War' as a special mission with no time limit]
•The Continuation Of The God Of War
Lu Lingqi daughter of Lu Bu had gotten off the original history continuation, resisting the marriage with Yuan Shu's son. Please Host use this chance to save Lu Bu from his demise or Save Lu Bu's family, the failure of this mission will not have any impact on the host.]
Lie Fan reading this was surprised, as he didn't expect Lu Lingqi to play such a vital role in Lu Bu's success or failure.
While it's true that Lu Bu will gain much allying with Yuan Shu, when Yuan Shu declares himself Emperor Lu Bu also becomes a target and loses his biggest and only ally by breaking off the alliance.
After that, Lu Bu was attacked by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and he lost in terms of manpower and the amount of talent serving him, Lu Bu only had Chen Gong while Cao Cao and Liu Bei had stud advisors serving them.
Lie Fan began to fall into a dilemma, as having two tigers on the same mountain is not a good thing, especially if these two tigers are him and Lu Bu. He doesn't know why Lu Lingqi protested the marriage agreement, but he also feels happy that Lu Lingqi doesn't agree.
Lie Fan decided to hold a meeting with his advisors, leaving Chenchen and Yaoyao with Ying Yue and the others, as he would like to ask them what if they allied themselves with Lu Bu, of course this was after he took Qing Province from Liu Bei, if that ever happens.
In the main hall at the Governor's Castle, Lie Fan was sitting in his chair while all of his advisors were standing in two lines, at the left front was Jia Xu whole the right was Chen Qun who replaced Xun You.
Lie Fan: "Everyone, you have heard about Lu Bu and his army roaming Yan Province right now, is there any chance that Lu Bu will raise his power base in Yan?"
Jia Xu: "My Lord with the information I have received from Oriole, looks like Lu Bu is being assisted by Chen Gong former advisor of Cao Cao, and they have lobbied Zhang Miao the Governor of Puyang to join their side."
Chen Qun: "My Lord if what Master Jia Xu just said is true, that means Lu Bu has the ambition to disrupt the power structure in the central plains, and Chen Gong is also a talented advisor, I have heard his name before."
Sun Qian: "I have met Chen Gong before on my visit to Chenliu, I didn't expect him to choose to resign and put all of his cards in Lu Bu's basket, I wanted to recruit him to My Lord's side before but I was too late now."
Lie Fan: "Chen Gong was one of the man helped Cao Vao establish himself in Chenliu, alongside Xi Zhicai he was one of Cao Cao's main advisors, looks like they have a fallout, with Ku Bu's unparallel might and Chen Ging's mind they can become a big thorn."
Jia Xu: "It's true that they would become a thorn My Lord, but just a thorn for us while a threat for Cao Cao. When we campaigned against Yuan Shu, I think Chen Gong will instruct Lu Bu to start his conquest of Yan."
Chen Gui: "If I may My Lord, even if Lu Bu success in taking the northern part of Yan, sooner or later Cao Cao will retake it as he would never allow Lu Bu to stay in his territory, so we should expect where he would retreat next."
Zhuge Jin: "I agree with Master Chen Gui, when the territory he would have, his retreat path will be to Jibei, where after that he would enter either our territory or Liu Bei's Qing Province."
Yan Jun: "I think he would choose Liu Bei, as both Lu Bu and Chen Gong knew that they could face off our army and that Our Lord is the harder enemy than Liu Bei."
Lie Fan nods his head, looks like his advisors have studied Lu Bu's movement and the path he would choose, he is satisfied by the initiative they have.
Lie Fan continued by asking them, what if they supported Lu Bu's rise to power in Qing Province, ousting Liu Bei and allied with Lu Bu after they conquered Yuan Shu with Cao Cao.
Jia Xu and then they begin to be confused, as to what the reason for doing so is, Lie Fan explains to them that it's better to have Lu Bu as a neighbor than Liu Bei, as at least Lu Bu is more predictable than Liu Bei.
Also, Lu Bu will not become a threat to them, as Lu Bu doesn't have the potential to become a big warlord, while Liu Bei has that potential like Cao Cao, especially now that he has Ju Shou who is an able advisor serving him.
Jia Xu analyzes the problem, he agrees that Lu Bu as a neighbor is easier to handle than Liu Bei, Lu Bu is an impatience man while Liu Bei is very patient, he could ain't for as long as he needs.
He agreed with Lie Fan's suggestion, but he proposed that Lie Fan wait while he and the others devised a plan of some sort, not just to ally themselves with Lu Bu, but also to face off against Cao Cao who would lose their face because Lie Fan supported Lu Bu in Qing.

He agreed with Lie Fan's suggestion, but he proposed that Lie Fan wait while he and the others devised a plan of some sort, not just to ally themselves with Lu Bu, but also to face off against Cao Cao who would lose their face because Lie Fan supported Lu Bu in Qing.
Lie Fan nods his head, showing his agreement to Jia Xu's request. He also asked them if they could design a countermeasure, some sort of diplomacy talk or military action to make Cao Cao think twice about attacking him.
Jia Xu understands what Lie Fan means, he nods his head in understanding. After that, everyone returned to their office, while Jia Xu, Chen Qun, and Sun Qian stayed to talk with Lie Fan.
Jia Xu: "My Lord, Is there anything wrong that caused us to deviate from our plan? This is very different from our former plan allying with the Sun Clan."
Lie Fan: "No there's nothing strong, it's just when I thought about it, it's better to ally ourselves with Lu Bu than Liu Bei to face off against Cao Cao."
Sun Qian: "But My Lord I think it's better to trust Liu Bei than Lu Bu. As Lu Bu could kill 2 of his foster fathers for his own benefit."
Chen Qun: "Liu Bei indeed is the more obvious person to trust than Lu Bu, but Liu Bei's ambition is very big and he could sacrifice anything while Lu Bu is easier to leash to our side, and politically Liu Bei's status I much higher than Our Lord with him being an Imperial Scion."
Lie Fan just gives a smile while his advisors speculate by themselves, he can't give an. actual reason because he is just doing this for the sake of the mission.
Lu Bu's survival and his family's survival, this is two different concept. Lu Bu surviving without his family, maybe he would only become a crazed war demon, while his family would lose their pillar for their family.
Maybe if he is lucky, he could save both Lu Bu and his family, if he could recruit Lu Bu to his side, that could boost his military magnificently in terms of strength. Lu Lingqi is also a good addition, maybe he could create the first women's military squad like what Sun Shangxiang has described in history.
While Lie Fan in Xiapi is facing a dilemma with his new mission, far in Chang'An Li Jue and Guo Si after a year of their reign, the aftereffects of their incompetence in governance cause Chang'An to decline in prosperity and their territory to shrink.
Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked the territory that Li Jue and Guo Si held in Liang Province, and managed to snatch some towns and cities from them.
The expanding Ma Teng and Han Sui posed a threat to them, so Li Jue and Guo Si promoted them with Ma Teng becoming Liang Province Governor and Han Sui being promoted to become Inspector of Liang Province.
This caused them to forfeit their territories in Liang Province, to appease Ma Teng and Han Sui. The decline in their territory caused both Li Jue and Guo Si to have a conflict with each other, as the amount of money and supplies were reduced but needed to be split between the two of them.
This causes the two who live luxurious lifestyles to begin to resent each other and have a major fallout, as they feel that they have lost much of their money and luxurious life.
Li Jue and Guo Si began to fight against each other, causing their forces in Chang'An to be split into two, with one side supporting Li Jue and the other supporting Guo Si.
This caused Chang'An to enter a period of Chaos, as the struggle between Li Jue and Guo Si was so intense that it affected all parts of Chang'An's structure, especially the military and political structure of Chang'An.
Li Jue and Guo Si changed every position to the people who supported them, this caused the already feeble structure to completely collapse due to the battle of wits between Li Jue and Guo Si.
Emperor Xian who is still an 11-year-old boy, can't control the two major military holders, and since he was still young, he is only a puppet that is served by the remaining loyal Han Dynasty courtiers and officials.
The climax of the fallout was when Li Jue took Emperor Xian, hostage, while Guo Si took the Emperor's loyal subject hostage to threaten each other. This makes Yang Feng and Song Guo, Li Jue's subordinate try to assassinate them but fail.
Zhang Ji who was far in Hongnong returned to Chang'An, trying to foster peace between Li Jue and Guo Si after some time they finally made peace, and they decided to allow Emperor Xian and his subjects to return to Luoyang which was under Cao Cao's control.
Yang Feng and Song Guo were called back, and they were appointed as the escort of Emperor Xian, alongside Guo Si, Yang Ding, and Dong Cheng who survived the massacre.
Emperor Xian was personally escorted by Guo Si's battalion, while Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and Yang Ding with their battalion surrounded Guo Si's battalion.
Yang Feng: "Master Dong Cheng, do you think General Guo Si will change his mind?"
Dong Cheng: "Let's just see, if something ever happens, we can repel Guo Si and hold ourselves in Luoyang. Even though Luoyang now is under Cao Cao's jurisdiction, I heard that Cao Cao doesn't really care about Luoyang."
Yang Ding: "Then I will support both of you Generals, I have long wanted to go away from Li Jue and Guo Si, but afraid that me and my family will be killed."
Yang Feng: "Don't worry if we ever need reinforcements, my friends from the White Wave Bandits will call my answer for aid to fight against L Jue and Guo Si."
Dong Cheng: "That's good, we have arrived at the vicinity of Xinfeng, Luoyang is still pretty far so looks like we will take a rest here."
True to Dong Cheng's words, Guo Si ordered everyone to stop and take a rest here for today, raising their camp and having a meal, before they sleep to continue their journey tomorrow.
While having a meal, Guo Si is looking at Emperor Xian who is accompanied by Dong Cheng and some of the Han Courtiers, changes his mind regretting his decision, and chooses to take the Emperor to Mei County.
Guo Si after the meal, under the cover of night, ordered his men to take Emperor Xian to his camp, and they left for Mei County, but Emperor Xian who was still a young boy didn't sleep too deep, and was woken up by the sound outside of his tent.
Fearing that it was a ghost or something, he sneaked out of his tent by lifting up the side of the tent and ran towards Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's tent to seek shelter. When Guo Si knew his men had failed to take Emperor Xian, he ordered Yang Feng and Dong Cheng to relinquish Emperor Xian to him.
Yang Feng and Dong Cheng refuse this order, and together with Yang Ding, they lead their forces to clash against Guo Si's force, so a battle ensues with Emperor Xian as the prize.
Due to his having a smaller number of men, Guo Si was defeated soon after and decided to retreat back to Chang'An, leaving Emperor Xian under the hands and protection of Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and Yang Ding.
Emperor Xian then with an army that finally was loyal to him, continued their journey toward Luoyang. Guo Si who returned to Chang'An, informed Li Jue about what happened and what a loss for them to lose Emperor Xian, so together they raised their army to pursue Emperor Xian who was on his way to Luoyang.
Emperor Xian and his party who were crossing the Liang State peacefully, before reaching Tong Pass were attached up by the pursuing Li Jue and Guo Si, so soon a battle ensued between them.
This time Li Jue and Guo Si worked together, bringing a considerable amount of their forces, and their capable generals, so Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and Yang Ding were cornered after each skirmish.
Yang Feng fearing that they will lose and the Emperor be captured by Li Jue and Guo Si, finally calls for the White Wave Bandits, which was his former faction and his group of friends, to aid him in this battle.
Some days passed by, and Yang Feng and Dong Cheng led the defense against the aggressive onslaught being led by Li Jue and Guo Si with a general named Xu Huang holding the defense as the onsite general, soon saw from the horizon a large army numbering about 30,000 to 35,000 men approaching their location.
Li Jue and Guo Si were also informed of this, knowing that they would fight two fronts, Li Jue and Guo Si agreed to lead each of the fronts, but soon they quarreled because both wanted to lead the front where they attacked Emperor Xian.
This Squabble allows the approaching army to attack them by surprise, a man named Han Xian was the commander of this army, with Li Le and Hu Cai as his deputy commanders.
There were also Xiongnu Forces, acting as cavalry for them under the lead of Qubei responded to the call for aid for Emperor Xian. This combined army alongside the forces under Yang Feng, Dong Cheng, and Yang Ding soon managed to defeat Li Jue and Guo Si.
Li Jue and Guo Si retreated with their tail between their legs, with the former running back to Chang'An while the latter retreated toward Mei County, Emperor Xian was touched by the army who came to have him, and under Doing Cheng's 'persuasion pardoned all of them and accepted them as the new Imperial Army.
Luoyang's condition was not as bad as in the original history thanks to Lie Fan, so Emperor Xian and his retainers and officials could live there, being fed and feeling safe having their own aeky after so long.
Emperor Xian and the people who were loyal to them, finally felt that they were free from the cage and prison that was made for them, not knowing that Cao Cao who was far in Xuchang was now his new capital, heard of his arrival.
Cao Cao's advisors, such as Xun Yu and Guo Jia persuaded Cao Cao to receive and 'retrieve' the Emperor from Luoyang to bring him here to Xuchang, as Luoyang was not safe from the attack of Li Jue and Guo Si who still allied with Zhang Ji in Hongnong.
