___________________________

Without any allies, Tian Feng was soon besieged by Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Shen Pei, a three on one debate which goes for a long time and Tian Feng could stand tall against them until finally, Feng Ji managed to sway Yuan Shao who stopped the debate, scolded Tian Feng for not thinking the current condition of their treasury, and choose the plan proposed by Feng Ji as he is already bewitched by the prospect of the reputations and riches he will receive from Zhang Yan much to the dismay of Tian Feng.

Not backing down, Tian Feng tried to persuade Yuan Shao to change his choice for one last time but failed as Yuan Shao ordered Tian Feng to leave the hall, and Tiam Feng could only dejectedly follow the order.

Seeing this Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Shen Pei snickered and mocked Tian Feng on his way out with subtle words that also praised Yuan Shao at the same time, while Xu You could only lower his head to evade Tian Feng's gaze.

As Tian Feng left the hall, Yuan Shao then continued by asking for Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and Shen Pei to develop a plan of attack for their invasion of Zhang Yan, and Xu You to prepare the supplies needed for his army where he will coordinate with Yan Liang and When Chou.

Everyone who was addressed by Yuan Shao cupped their hand toward him receiving the assignment that was tasked to them, especially Xun You who could only grimace as he went to work with the two most stubborn men in the entirety of Yuan Shao retainers.

Then Yuan Shao continued by saying that he expected everyone could stay their hand and focus on the important matters, when Zhang Yan's matter was finished he would distribute a large percentage of the spoils as rewards for all of them.

Hearing that they would have a large reward incentive, everyone said that they understood, and those with subtle minds who wanted to take advantage of the situation to skim some money decided to not do it.

Because Yuan Shap definitely knew that it happened, but since he received some slice of the cake he chose to turn a blind eye, but it doesn't mean that he would allow it to happen all the time especially if it involved the entire future stake of his force and legacy.

After making sure that his words were noticed by everyone, he meant literally everyone in the room, especially his family members Yuan Shao then proceeded to discuss the marriage of his second son Yuan Xi.

The moment Yuan Shao's words came down, everyone in the room began to talk with each other causing the hall full of commotion, as everyone talk which family they could suggest that have a woman that was worthy of Yuan Xi.

Everyone in the room knew that Yuan Xi was very smart but had a weak body and was very indecisive, which was a large contrast to his older brother Yuan Tan who was brave but very impulsive and had a violent temper, it could be said that the two of them share Yuan Shao's personalities.

So they should choose a candidate who was very beautiful and smart, who could satisfy Yuan Xi not just with her appearance but also demure and not overbearing as Yuan Xi had a weak body.

It was pretty hard to find the perfect candidate, but Guo Tu had some friendship with Zhen Yi who was the head of the Zhen Clan but unfortunately had passed away, one of the largest Merchant Clans in China alongside the Mi Clan, and knew that one of his daughters was a perfect candidate.

The Zhen Clan is not only rich but also has a large political background and history, where the Zhen Clan was the descendant of Zhen Han who served as Grand Protector in the Western Han and later General In Chief in the short lived Xin Dynasty.

Guo Tu: "My Lord! I have a candidate in mind that could satisfy second young lord Yuan Xi in terms of appearance and intellect but also had a very gentle personality and her family could bring large benefits to My Lord."

Yuan Shao: "Oh? Who is it Guo Tu? If your candidate court satisfies me, I will reward you with large gifts for finding the perfect house for my son and great in laws for my clan!"

Guo Tu: "The youngest daughter of Zhen Yi who had passed away several years ago, and the youngest sister to Zhen Yu the current head of the Zhen Clan, named Zhen Ji. She was around 15 years old this year but we can propose for an engagement first and set the marriage date in two years if My Lord thinks she was too young for the second young lord."

Yuan Shao: "Zhen Yi who was the perfect of Shangchang County? I knew of him and of course knew about the Zhen Clan, hmm if what you just said is true then this could be a very good marriage and a profitable one for my clan! Guo Tu has done great work in proposing this Zhen Ji!"

Feng Ji: "I also agree My Lord, with the Yuan Clan and Zhen Clan joining their hand through marriage, My Lord will have more power and control over your domain with the backing of the Zhen Clan's monetary power, like Lie Fan who had the backing of the Mi Clan."

With both Feng Ji and Guo Tu giving Yuan Shao the sweetness of the possible marriage alliance with the Zhen Clan, he finally agreed on the idea and had Guo Tu personally draft the letter to the Zhen Clan.

As Yuan Shao was making moves to empower his military, political, and economic power in his domain, to the southwest of Yuan Shao's domain at the land of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu who was embroiled in a long all out war with Liu Zhang convened a meeting with his retainers.

He wanted to discuss the possibilities of recuperating their exhausted resources and manpower in the fastest way possible, because even with his sect Way of the Five Pecks of Rice sooner or later he would not have any resources to spare for his war with Liu Zhang.

Yan Pu, Yan Ren, Zhang Wei, and Yang Song were Zhang Lu's most powerful and influential advisors, especially Yang Song who was very greedy and selfish but very good at espionage and manipulating Zhang Lu for his own gains.

When they heard of Zhang Lu's concern about recuperating their losses in both resources and manpower in their war against Liu Zhang, the four of them became solemn to think of what idea they could suggest to Zhang Lu.

Yang Song who was greedy for more riches immediately had Shangyong who was under Liu Biao's control in his mind, because it hadn't been attacked by Liu Bei and still was held by Liu Biao politically.

Shangyong was a town that became a connection between the Liang Province and Jing Province, where it was more placed in terms of security checkpoints compared to passing through Wan and Luoyang.

So Shangyong was the perfect choice for medium and small merchants to pass through, as it was much closer than going through Wan or Luoyang to head to Liang Province which was also a perfect pathway for smugglers and other criminals to pass through.

Which was a very perfect town for him to do his clandestine activities and accumulate more riches for him, and of course also a perfect town for Zhang Lu to gain more followers for his sect.

Yang Song: "My Lord I have a suggestion that I think could help us massively in recuperating our losses in the fastest way possible."

Zhang Lu: "That's great Yang Song! As expected of one of my best advisors! Please tell me what is your suggestion?"

Yang Song: "I suggest that we take over Shangyong from Liu Biao's hand because it was without any large military presence, and holds a very strategic location where many people of all kinds passed through, which holds large economic value for us also."

Yan Pu: "Preposterous! Master Yang Song you don't expect us to redirect some of our army to attack Shangyong! We are already shorthanded in our front giants Liu Zhang, splitting our focus will only cause more losses for us!"

Yang Song: "Not if we stop our offensive and go on the defensive, I'm sure that Liu Zhang would also hold his attack due to the number of losses he had over the years fighting us, which will be a perfect chance for us to take over Shangyong."

Zhang Wei: "General Yan Pu I think this is a perfect idea, we can also recuperate our manpower faster this way with prisoners to be turned into soldiers."

Zhang Lu: "I also agree, Yan Pu I think you're thinking too much into this, why don't you take a rest and let Yang Song alongside Yang Ren and Zhang Wei handle this matter?"

Yan Pu hearing what Zhang Lu said was shocked because he knew that it meant that Zhang Lu had made up his mind and that there was nothing he could do to change that.

Dejected but there's nothing he can do, Yan Pu agrees to Zhang Lu's orders which indicates that Yang Sing has once again managed to manipulate his way for selfish gains.

Yang Sing smirked seeing this but chose to stay silent because he didn't want to antagonize Yan Pu, who held the strongest military power and influence in Zhang Lu's army.

Even if Zhang Lu dismissed him it doesn't mean that he wanted to ostracize him, but to truly let Yan Pu take some rest, and if someone dared to scheme against Yan Pu they would definitely be dealt with by Zhang Lu.

So without further ado, Zhang Lu alongside Zhang Wei prepared the army where they turned from offensive to defensive, which confused Liu Zhang's army but accepted what happened and didn't pursue Zhang Lu's army as they chose to recuperate.

Seeing that what Yang Song said had come true, Zhang Lu immediately ordered Zhang Wei and Yang Song to lead his army to attack Shangyong, where they took around a week before reaching Shangyong, where they immediately attacked Shangyong taking it by surprise.

Left without any defenses and a strong army to defend against Zhang Lu's Army's sudden attack, after around 3 days of defensive battle Shangyong raised a white banner to surrender, causing Yang Song to be ecstatic as he could further expand his clandestine activities, and Zhang Lu's Army victory soon was known across the land and doesn't cause much shock except to Liu Biao who couldn't do anything to even do some attempt to regain Shangyong.

___________________________

Left without any defenses and a strong army to defend against Zhang Lu's Army's sudden attack, after around 3 days of defensive battle Shangyong raised a white banner to surrender, causing Yang Song to be ecstatic as he could further expand his clandestine activities, and Zhang Lu's Army victory soon was known across the land and doesn't cause much shock except to Liu Biao who couldn't do anything to even do some attempt to regain Shangyong.

Liu Biao could only announce his contempt for Zhang Lu and swore that he would repay the embarrassment that Zhang Lu had given him tenfold.

Unfortunately for Liu Biao, his threat was very laughable in the eyes of every Warlord especially Zhnag Lu, because everyone knew that Liu Biao was in a precarious situation and couldn't do anything thanks to Liu Bei who usurped the northern part of Jing Province.

Also, the continuous losses he had against Liu Bei, Lie Fan, and the Sun Clan destroyed any credibility he had as a threat to other Warlords, unlike in the past when he was the hegemon of Jing Province controlling a large army and navy with a vast domain.

Being informed of what the land was thinking about him, Liu Biao could only grit his teeth enduring the humiliation he had and swore that he would rise again and pay back all the humiliation he had received.

He was very optimistic that everything was a setback and that sooner or later he would rise once again, not realizing that everything was slowly crumbling around him as Cai Mao and Lady Cai had a secret meeting he didn't know about.

As the Cai Clan had fallen out of power, many clans were challenging them for the lands and shops they had under them, even when Liu Biao had blocked them subtly they still tried to take them from the Cai Clan.

Without any power to protect themselves, Cai Mao could only use the personal power and the power of the Cai Clan he had accumulated over the years to well any attempts against him and the Cai Clan.

Both brother and sister blamed all of this on Liu Biao who stripped Cai Mao of the position of Grand General, which caused everything that happened right now to the Cai Clan making them miserable.

Cai Mao: " Sister we should do something, Liu Biao is killing us now and maybe due to his old age he has become senile and forgotten who had helped him keep Jing Province stable for him!"

Lady Cai: "Keep calm brother, we need to tread carefully because any wrong move would cause us to fall deeper into the pit, and even my charm couldn't convince him to do anything for the Cai Clan anymore."

Cai Mao: "Damn it! That old fool, if he weren't the Lord of Jing Province how could I allow my precious sister to marry him?! We still need to do something because Sooner or later our power and money will be spent just besting these damned bugs!"

Lady Cai: "Then brother, why don't we put Liu Cong as the new lord? We could control him from the back and use him to increase the power of the Cai Clan, even exceeding our heyday in the past!"

Cai Mao: "Hmm we could do that but it's very risky, we need to collect allies who will support us and wouldn't stab us in the back, we can be sure that Zhang Yun would support us but only him isn't enough."

Lady Cai: "I will try to use my influence in the circle of the noble ladies, some will definitely listen to their wives or mistresses, let's see the resin from here and then continue our plan ahead after seeing the reaction."

Cai Mao listening to what his sister had just said nodded his head in agreement, testing the circle of the noble ladies was the best course of action because no matter how people who found out about this traced it to Lady Cai, Liu Biao would not believe any of the report.

Why he could be so confident, because Liu Biao still doted on his second wife who was much younger than him and could be said to be the most beautiful among the ladies of his retainer.

This gave him face and prestige in his mind, so he always treated Lady Cai kindly not knowing that he was taking care of a poisonous plant, one that would definitely come to bite him in the back.

As Cai Mao and Lady Cai were plotting to overthrow Liu Biao from his position and place Liu Cong to replace him, far to the northwest of Wuling, Ma Teng and the Ma Clan were holding up at Tianshui.

Zhao Ang who was the Governor of Tianshui welcomed them in and had Ma Teng alongside his family received with a lavish feast, and even gave some supplies for the next battle handing them out to the Ma Clan's Army.

In the original timeline, Zhao Ang and the Ma Clan become opposing sides when the Ma Clan led by Ma Chao at that point in time rebelled against Cao Cao who was the de facto head of the Han Central Government.

However, his plan failed as Cao Cao later managed to defeat Ma Chao and his allies at the Battle of Tong Pass, which caused Ma Chao to constantly raid the Liang Province and take over the land by force.

When Ma Chao reached Tianshui, Wei Kang the inspector of Liang Province took pity on the plight of the people and planned to start peace talks with Ma Chao, which Zhao Ang tried to dissuade Wei Kang from doing so but was ignored by him.

Later the peace talk was made and finalized, but Ma Chao killed Wei Kang and took over Tianshui where he then jailed Zhao Ang and his son Zhao Yue, causing Wang Yi who was Zhao Ang's wife to approach Lady Yang which were Ma Chao wife telling her that Zhao Ang is loyal to Ma Chao.

This proved to be a good one as later on Zho Ang was released, he then plotted with many people to overthrow Ma Chao and succeeded even driving him out of Liang Province where he and his allies even managed to kill Ma Chao's wife and children.

Of course, all of that happened in the original timeline and in Lie Fan's timeline all of this hadn't happened, Zhao Ang even became the Governor of Tianshui much earlier and was at the young age of 23 but was chosen by Ma Teng due to his talent.

Zhao Ang: "My Lord, I think we need to be careful because by essence the force under My Lord and that traitor Han Sui was a coalition of many forces, so we need to be very careful in determining who is enemy and friend."

Ma Teng: "I agree Zhao Ang what you said is correct, I have sent Ma Chao and Pang De to inspect who are the allies of the Ma Clan and the enemies of the Ma Clan, also I don't know if are you even truly loyal to me hmm?"

Zhao Ang: "My Lord you have known how loyal I was to you! It's because of you that I have become the Governor of Tianshui, and I have even delayed my wedding to send troops to support your campaign to take over Chang'An from Han Sui!"

Ma Teng: "Haha! I know I know Zhao Ang, I was just jesting. How is the condition of your wife? I hope that she isn't angered by your delaying the wedding for you to support my campaign."

Zhao Ang: "She had forgiven for that My Lord but I think she still holds a grudge against you and the Ma Clan because to support your campaign, I had to delay our wedding at the time, and had punished me that we can't have an intimate relation for a year."

Ma Teng: "What?! Preposterous! How could a woman do that ordering and pushing her husband like that, Zhao Ang you're the head of the household you should show your backbone!"

Zhao Ang shake his head and told Ma Teng that his wife Wang Yi wasn't wrong in doing so in his mind because the marriage ceremony was once a lifetime for many people including her.

Him violating the chosen day of their marriage ceremony was a taboo and her not allowing him to be intimate with her wasn't a bad punishment, because he still could spend some time with Wang Yi.

Ma Teng was somewhat speechless by what Zhao Ang had just said because it was against the normal norms of this day and age, but before he could comment any further suddenly a guard barged into the hall.

The guard was panting heavily but still reported to both Zhao Ang and Ma Teng that Cao Cao's Army was spotted several kilometers from Tianshui, and when they heard this both of them immediately stood up and ordered the town to be on lockdown and the Army to enter defensive formation.

Soon Zhao Ang and Ma Teng's order spread across the entirety of Tianshui, causing some panic among the populace where they could only stay inside the safety of their house.

Ma Chao and Pang De on the other hand had the Ma Clan Army that had been reinforced, raising their number to 150,000 men stationed across the wall of Tianshui and entering a defensive formation.

The both of them were joined by Ma Teng and Zhao Ang later on in the Eastern Wall, where without waiting for a long time they saw Cao Cao's Army on the horizon approaching Tianshui.

When Cao Cao's Army reached Tianshui, Cao Ren immediately ordered the entire army to enter battle formation, and Han Sui who had recuperated his strength formally joined Cao Cao's banner and became his retainer.

In terms of rank as general, Cao Ren was superior to Han Sui so he followed the order that was given by Cao Ren and Cao Ren only, as for Zhang Ji and Xu Huang the two of them were ignored by Han Sui.

Even though they were angered by what Han Sui did to them, Zhang Ji and Xu Huang chose to hold themselves back until they won the siege of Tianshui, where under Cao Ren's order begin with Han Sui led his men to attack the Eastern gate of Tianshui with Cao Ren overseeing it.

Zhang Ji will lead his army to attack the Northern gate and Xu Huang lead his army to attack the Sother gate, which was the plan made by Jia Kui who had studied Tianshui defense capability, with the additional presence of Ma Teng and his army he feels that this is the best course of action takedown Tianshui, and so the siege of Tianshui begins with Han Sui and Ma Teng meeting once again in the field of battle.
