Jia Xu, Chen Qun, and Liu Ye continued their play, they objected to Lie Fan's agreement to give Sun Jian all of Sheng Xian's navy ships, as they needed at least half of that is the reason they used. Lie Fan of course vetoed their injection, causing Sun Jian and Sun Ce to feel grateful while Zhou Yu felt a bit suspicious of him.

As Lie Fan's decision was upheld despite the objections, Zhou Yu, still harboring suspicion, found himself deep in contemplation. While outwardly expressing gratitude for Lie Fan's kindness, he is lost in his own thoughts suspicious of Lie Fan's intention.

Zhou Yu pondered with his sharp mind analyzing the situation and considered the possibility that Lie Fan might have an ulterior motive, a hidden agenda beneath the guise of cooperation.

Zhou Yu knew that trust in alliances was delicate, and appearances could be deceiving. While he admired Lie Fan, Zhou Yu couldn't shake the feeling that Lie Fan's actions were calculated, perhaps a move in a bigger board.

Unlike Zhou Yu who was suspicious, Sun Jian and Sun Ce thanked Lie Fan for the favor he had shown them, Sheng Xian fleet while not many can bolster their fleet that was situated to face Liu Biao.

As for Liu Yao's Fleet, no one talked about it or even insinuated it, because in Sun Jian's eyes, Liu Yao's fleet is ripe for the taking like some fort of competition, and whoever takes it first will have ownership of it.

Lie Fan of course sees it differently than Sun Jian, in his eyes Liu Yao's fleet isn't even worth a speck of dust, his fleet is the most advanced and superior to any other ships in this era, especially with the weaponry fitted into his ships.

Hwacha has been fitted, and Lie Fan has made gunpowder and bombs, it's only a matter of time before Lie Fan makes the first generation of cannons which will change the landscape of war due to its multi-purpose in battle.

Thanks to Lie Fan's agreement to let the Sun Clan receive all of Sheng Xian's fleet in the future, the relationship between the Lie Clan and the Sun Clan grew closer, making everyone feel satisfied with the results of today's meeting.

The Success of today's meeting between Lie Fan and Sun Jian pushed the relationship between the two clans to the top, where Lie Fan invited Sun Jian and his family to have dinner at the Lie Clan residence.

Sun Jian agreed heartily to the invitation, saying that he needed to return to the mansion to inform Sun Wuan and Sun Shangxiang, and also prepared a small gift for Lie Fan's family as they were the first time he met them.

Lie Fan and Sun Jian will have a dinner together at the Lie Clan residence, which could close the familial bonds between the two clans. In the north of Xiapi, in Qing province, different things were brewing there.

The Northern War between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan has entered a new stage, with Liu Yu's death being one of the catalysts Gongsun Zan entered a countdown for his defeat as Yuan Shao became the just and virtuous side trying to avenge Liu Yu's death.

Gongsun Zan seeing this doesn't have any choice other than to ask his apprentice brother, Liu Bei who is now the Governor of Qing Province for help, to attack Yuan Shao or at least make some sort of a diversion in the south to relieve the pressure in the north.

Gongsun Zan's request for help received a lot of mixed responses from Liu Bei's court, many of the generals and advisors from Kong Rong's reign disagreed with Liu Bei lending a hand to Gongsun Zan.

Because Liu Bei is part of the Imperial Scion if he agrees to support Gongsun Zan then he besmirches his reputation as one of the Imperial Scion, making him lose much of his prestige and garnered support.

Ju Shou and Wang Xiu, on the other hand, led a group that supports Liu Bei to agree to support Gongsun Zan because the death of Liu Yu signifies the end of the Han Dynasty reign as they can't even protect members of the Imperial Family.

This caused a heated debate in Liu Bei's court until Liu Bei finally stopped the debate, and gave his answer which he agreed to support Gongsun Zan where he will lead his army to put pressure on Yuan Shao around Pingyuan his hometown.

Liu Bei gave Pingyuan to Yuan Shao to ease the relationship between the two, so Liu Bei's siege of Pingyuan County increased the chance of Yuan Shao's perception of him that he attacked because he wanted to take Pingyuan back which was also his true desire, to reclaim his homeland.

As Liu Bei prepared to embark on his journey from Beihai toward Dongpingling with his army of around 100,000 men, with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Sun Guan, as the generals and Ju Shou as his strategist.

Wang Xiu was left to take care of Beihai and their supply line with 20,000 men, alongside Zong Bao and Peng Qiu, generals who previously served Kong Rong and joined Liu Bei due to Sun Guan who was the highest-ranking general in Kong Rong's army after Taishi Ci leave Kong Rong for Lie Fan.

Liu Bei's departure for Dongpingling soon reached Lu Bu and Chen Gong's ear, who managed to control Huangxian and Changyang the two counties making up Donglai Commandery under Liu Bei's nose.

Lu Bu held his court, calling for all of his generals and Chen Gong who was his only advisor, to discuss if this was the right time to take control of Beihai, which had been prepared since they took refuge in Liu Bei.

Lu Bu: "Gongtai, Do you think this is the ripe time for us to proceed with our plan? Liu Bei and Ju Shou have left for Dongpingling leaving Wang Xiu alone at Beihai, with many people who have decided to join us after Liu Bei choose to support Gongsun Zan."

Chen Gong: "My Lord, the timing couldn't be more favorable. Liu Bei brought almost all capable talent with him leaving Beihai vulnerable, with only Wang Xiu to guard the city. Many within the city have shown their discontent, and many have shifted their allegiance to us, especially after the support Liu Bei showed to Gongsun Zan."

Lu Bu: "Haha Good! Then how shall we proceed to do our plan?"

Chen Gong: "My Lord, our approach should be swift and decisive. Wang Xiu's position is precarious right now but he does know about it yet, the internal discontent within Beihai is to our advantage. We can capitalize on the growing unrest and rally those who share our vision for a new leadership."

Lu Bu, a satisfied smile playing on his lips, nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Chen Gong. Mobilize our forces discreetly, infiltrate the city, and garner support from those dissatisfied with Liu Bei's choices, Timing is the key, My Lord. Once we secure Beihai, we establish our dominance over Qing Province."

Lu Bu: "Then let it be so. Gongtai, you shall lead the plan for us to infiltrate Beihai, as for Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao mobilize our army to head toward Beihai to support Cheng Gong."

Zhang Liao: "Yes My Lord, do we bring all of our men or do we leave some here in Donglai to guard against Lie Fan in the south?"

Chen Gong: "General Zhang Liao left 20,000 men in Donglai and chose who will lead it yourself, we have managed to increase our army to around 100,000 men, and bringing 80,000 is more than enough, especially if we managed to convince the generals leading the 25,000 men left by Liu Bei to join us."

Lu Bu nodded his head at what Chen Going just said, he told Zhang Liao to follow Chen Gong's words and dismissed the Court, so the race of dominance and Destiny began for Lu Bu and the clueless Liu Bei for Qing Province.

Zhang Liao appointed Cao Xing as the leader of the 20,000 men who will stay behind at Donglai, while the rest of the generals followed Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's 80,000 men to Beihai with Lu Bu.

Lu Lingqi who heard about this requested to join Lu Bu, which to her dismay opposed by both Lu Bu and Lady Yan ordering her to stay home with Lady Yan and also banning her from joining Cao Xing's army.

So three days after the court, under the cover of the night, Chen Gong led a small group of diplomats and guards toward Beihai. They moved discreetly, meeting with carefully selected allies and persuading key figures within the city to align with Lu Bu's cause unknown to Wang Xiu who was calculating the supplies needed for Liu Bei.

Simultaneously, Lu Bu, accompanied by Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and his generals led the army of 80,000 men toward the outskirts of Beihai. Their movements were silent under the dark where the night became their ally as they approached Beihai.

Chen Gong's persuasive skills came to the forefront, persuading key figures left and right, where soon disgruntled voices within Beihai found resonance in his words, and slowly but surely, many allegiances began to shift to Lu Bu.

Zong Bao and Peng Qiu who were left by Liu Bei with less the 20,000 men also swore their allegiance to Lu Bu, increasing Lu Bu's army number where they opened the City Gate for Lu Bu to lead his army to enter Beihai without any resistance.

Of course, this doesn't mean that there wasn't any resistance when Zong Bao and Peng Qiu opened the gate for Lu Bu and his army, Shi Yi and Zuo Zhengcu managed to gather 5,000 men to resist Lu Bu while informing all people that loyal to Liu Bei to meet at the Western Gate.

Because of this, the whole city of Beihai was alarmed and Wang Xiu led Liu Bei's family and finalist using the cover of the night and helped form some commoners to meet up with Shi Yi and Zuo Zhengcu at the Western Gate.

He didn't expect Zong Bao and Peng Qiu's betrayal, he knew about the discontent that arose after Liu Bei decided to support Gongsun Zan, and he was about to calm everyone down after managing the supply line but didn't expect that he was to late.

Lu Bu and his army knew about Liu Bei loyalists who tried to run away from Beihai, he stopped Zhang Liao and Gao Shun from leading their army to pursue them, and he ordered Zong Ban and Peng Qiu to show their loyalty to him.

Peng Qiu and Zong Ban thought that this was a chance to gain some merit and a headstart among the defectors, immediately led their men toward the Western Gate where they met with Shi Yi and Zuo Zhengchu who was guarding the rear of Liu Bei's loyalist group, Shi Yi and Zuo Zhengchu also saw them and led their men to guard this line as long as possible to give time for the others to go to Dongpingling.

Peng Qiu and Zong Ban thought that this was a chance to gain some merit and a headstart among the defectors, immediately led their men toward the Western Gate where they met with Shi Yi and Zuo Zhengchu who was guarding the rear of Liu Bei's loyalist group, Shi Yi and Zuo Zhengchu also saw them and led their men to guard this line as long as possible to give time for the others to go to Dongpingling.

Shi Yi and Zuo Zhengchu swiftly organized their forces, forming a steadfast line to fend off the relentless attack led by Peng Qiu and Zong Ban. The Western Gate was filled with the clash of swords and roars of soldiers engaged in a fierce struggle.

Wang Xiu seeing this lead the family and loyalists of Liu Bei along with some soldiers to leave Beihai, leaving Shi Yi and Zuo Zhenhchu behind who were holding the enemy off to give them some time heading to Dongpingling to reunited with Liu Bei.

Wang Xiu also send a scout to ride first toward Dongpingling, to inform Liu Bei of what happened and send some soldiers to protect his family and the loyalist alongside their family...

The scout sent by Wang Xiu raced towards Dongpingling, with dust kicked up from the hooves of his horse as he rides toward Dongpingling for several days without rest before he reached Dongpingling.

The guards at the gate were alert when they saw a figure approaching the gate, but when they saw that the rider showed a banner with Liu Bei's insignia they opened the gate for him.

The Guard Captain holds the Scout for a checkup, even though the Scout is a member of Liu Bei's army he still needs to be checked by the first.

Don't have much time, the scout informed the guards of what happened at Beihai, where the guard captain allow Lie Fan to take this letter to Liu Bei, and was sucked by the revelation that Beihai have just fallen to Lu Bu's hand because Beihai is still's Liu Bei's when they leave for Dongpingling.

The scout after rushing toward the Castle, finally meets with Liu Bei who are alongside Ju Shou, Sun Guan, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Everyone in the room except for the scout was surprised by the news they had just received.

Liu Bei swiftly mobilized a detachment of his most trusted soldiers led by Sun Guan and Guan Yu to meet up and protect those fleeing from Beihai, Ju Shou also suggested that Liu Bei fortify Dongpingling's defenses.

Ju Shou seeing that Liu Bei agreed with his suggestion, asked the scout to tell him how Lu Bu suddenly attacked Beihai and took control of it, what about the 20,000 men Liu Bei left behind to guard Beihai.

The scout proceeded to tell everything in detail that he knew of, how Zong Ban and Peng Qiu sided with Lu Bu, leading the 20,000 men to join Lu Bu but 5,000 of them led by Shi Yi and Zuo Zhengchu creating a safe zone in the western gate for the loyalist to regroup.

He lastly described how suddenly almost all of the key figures official in the city except for Wang Xiu and several of Liu Bei's hardcore supporters, all of them joined Lu Bu when Lu Bu entered Beihai with his army.

Ju Shou: "My lord, this betrayal orchestrated by Chen Gong and Lu Bu must have been meticulously planned since they arrived to take refuge in My Lord. The speed at which key officials turned against us suggests that they have prepared this scheme for some time."

Liu Bei: "Chen Gong's cunning mind and persuasive tongue combined with Lu Bu's ambition have caught me off guard, I should have listened to you Ju Shou to not harbor a wolf inside our home."

Ju Shou: "No My Lord it's okay, they exploit My Lord's kindness to sway such a significant number of officials and soldiers which requires time. Chen Gong likely exploited the time when I and My Lord left Beihai, to support Lord Gongsun Zan which aroused some discontent among our ranks."

Liu Bei: "Their betrayal will not go unanswered. Lu Bu controlling Beihai means the rest of Wing Province is in his hands, do you have a suggestion on how we should proceed, Ju Shou?"

Ju Shou: "We are at a disadvantage My Lord, Lu Bu managed to take over much of our supplies and he has the means to recruit more soldiers, we are at a disadvantage in terms of men and supplies so the only way we can do is seek some support from the Warlord."

Liu Bei: "Seek outside support? Which Lord can we request some support from? I think there are only two choices we can choose from, Cao Cao or Lie Fan?"

Liu Bei closed his eyes after saying that, he actually didn't want to ask for help from these two opportunistic wolves. They accept and treat him kindly, but he knows that his nature is almost the same as theirs but he chooses a different path to embark on.

Ju Shou can see Liu Bei's reluctance, but there's no other way since Liu Bei have lost his base, and the supplies that they had prepared for their army more than half were taken by Lu Bu when he took over Beihai.

They don't have the means to feed their army in the long term, and Dongpingling alone can't support 100,000 men even if they harvest their produce every month, as they also need to feed the common people.

Liu Bei after being silent for some time, finally opened his eyes and agreed to Ju Shou's suggestion, allowing Ju Shou to contact Cao Cao for his assistance in facing Lu Bu.

As the letter was sent by Ju Shou to Cao Cao, Liu Bei couldn't escape the bitter taste of irony. Once a refuge for those seeking his protection, now he found himself seeking shelter from others.

On the outside, news of Lu Bu's takeover of Beihai spread throughout the land, Liu Bei was mocked by mane for taking a wolf and raising it in his home, now his home was taken over by Lu Bu leaving him only with Dongpingling.

The letter arrived at Cao Cao's hand after a week and a half passed by, Cao Cao who received Liu Bei's request for assistance in facing Lu Bu asked the opinions of his advisors.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai feels that they should accept Liu Bei's request do support, Kong Zhou is on his last leg right now and they can afford to fight on two front, as Liu Bei will face the brunt of Lu Bu's forces before they finished in their war with Kong Zhou.

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu on the other hand also supported the matter, but the supplies they had right now were not enough to support a prolonged war with Lu Bu, so if Cao Cao wanted to go to war with Lu Bu next, they needed to have a not so active war at least until the next harvest.

Cao Cao sat in silence, he felt that the matter of Liu Bei asking for support could be used to his advantage, Qing Province his ripe for the taking in his eyes since Lu Bu was not that great and would be defeated by him eventually.

Liu Bei on the other hand knows is a different matter, he and Lie Fan are the one he has thought of as his rival in this era, Lie Fan having the same mind as him and Liu Bei with his virtuous path of thinking.

After thinking for some time, Cao Cao said to his advisors that he would support Liu Bei but after they subjugated Kong Zhou, they just needed to some supplies first to Liu Bei to let him hold on for some time.

He also added that he felt they could use this chance to usurp Qing Province from Liu Bei after defeating Lu Bu, so he asked for Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai to devise a plan or a way they could do that after defeating Lu Bu.

Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, and Chen Yu cupped their hand to Cao Cao, this is one of the reasons that they chose to support Cao Cao, he truly saw everything that came to his path as an opportunity he could exploit.

Xun Yu as the best writer among everyone, was tasked by Cao Cao to write their letter of agreement to support Liu Bei, but list the condition and the situation that Cao Cao needs to handle before he can support Liu Bei.

The letter was then sent out by Xun Yu, being sent to Liu Bei using the same messenger Liue Bei sent to him, spending the same amount of time riding toward Beihai for a week and a half.

Finally, the messenger arrived at Dongpingling, bearing a letter from Cao Cao. As Liu Bei opened the letter, the contents revealed a cautious willingness from Cao Cao to provide assistance, along with the list of conditions that didn't allow him to support him immediately.

Liu Bei was relieved that Cao Cao acknowledged the shared enemy they had right now in Lu Bu, and he now only waited for Cao Cao's supplies that be sent to him and hoped that Cao Cao could finish his matters with Kong Zhou as fast as possible.

Giving the letter to Ju Shou, Liu Bei ordered the preparations to receive Cao Cao's Supplies. Ju Shou while reading the content of the letter acknowledged Liu Bei's order, he takes his leave to do so while trying to see if there's any hidden meaning in the letter.

All of this activity that was happening between Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao unbeknownst to them, was monitored by Lie Fan through the Oriole network, and all of their movement even discussion was known by Lie Fan.

Knowing that Cao Cao now is focused on Kong Zhou and supporting Liu Bei he feels now is the perfect time to save Yuan Shu's family that was in Runan, fulfilling his promise to Ji Ling since Runan security will not be as high level as before, with Cao Cao sending supplies to Liu Bei and battling Kong Zhou who was standing on his last leg.
