He Jin: "Everyone! Today we are going to bring peace to all lands in the Empire!

You all are the guardians of the people and The Empire, let's defeat those rebels in the name of The Empire!
Everyone: "HOAHHHH!!!!"
He Jin: "Our Army will be divided into 4 Army, the main army numbering 230.000 Men will be led by Me protecting the capital and attacking the rebel's base in Ji and You Province, Huang Army numbering 40.000 Men will be led by General Huangfu Song heading towards You and Qing Province, Zhu Army numbering 40.000 Men led by General Zhu Jun heading toward Yu and Xu Province, and Lu Army numbering 40.000 men led by General Lu Zhi heading toward both Ji and Yan province"
Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, And Lu Zhi step forward showing their majestic prestige when their name was called evoking cheers from their respective armies
He Jin: " May Heaven always bless us along the way!"
After He Jin was done with his speech, the army began to move and separate themselves according to their leader, Zhu Jun's Army was posted in the back and will be the first one to move.
Lie Fan led his army following Zhu Jun's division and positioned his rank in the front so he can be in the same area as Zhu Jun who will lead his division in March toward Yu Province
Zhu Jun: "Little Lie this will be your first battle under the Empire army right so I gave you some advice, do your best to get as much merits so you can reach a higher rank faster haha!"

Zhu Jun: "Hahaha that's the spirit! Come now everyone let's say start our march!"
Zhu Jun leads his army to go toward Yu Province, they spend a month marching towards Yu Province. Along the way, they encounter many Yellow Turbans from big to small groups, especially when they were on the outskirts of Yan Province and entering Yu Province
Lie Fan Army was appointed as one of the Vanguards of the Zhu Jun Army, so his army and the other vanguards were the ones who battled against the encountered Yellow Turbans and Lie Fan showed his talent when he battled the Yellow Turbans.
Sun Qian's advancement of his military strategy and tactics mastery when learning under Lu Zhi for 1 month, demonstrated how an army can fight without having casualties with ambush and surprise tactics alongside Lie Fan's martial prowess stunned the generals and Zhu Jun
Zhu Jun began to include Lie Fan in their military discussion on how they approach a certain situation, Lie Fan showed great aptitude for strategy and knows the locals see pretty well which makes him shine more than other generals with Sun Qian alongside him this duo was known as they think tank for Zhu Jun to increase his confidence in his strategy
After entering the heart of Yu Province, the yellow turbans' resistance began to be stronger due to the number they encounter with Zhu Jun leading 40.000 men to eliminate them quickly there are casualties along the way but it's under a minimum number, but they continue to match
Around Yu Province to search for cities or villages under attack
Lie Fan: "These Yellow Turban bastards are never-ending, Our army will be exhausted sooner or later if this continues every day"
Sun Qian: "My Lord this is the normal tactic of peasant revolt, using numbers to overwhelm the Imperial Army as they are less experienced and using makeshift weapons with no armor"
Lie Fan: "I know that's why it's a nuisance sometimes, what do you think General Zhu Jun?"
Zhu Jun: "I think it's normal, their number is bigger than the revolt I suppress before but in the end, they will not last long as unorganized rebels will fail sooner or later"
Lie Fan: "Let's see how long it wi- Look there!"
With Lie Fan's shout, everyone turned their head to the area Lie Fan pointed out and saw a city under Yellow Turban attack, from the number it looks like 50.000 - 75.000 Yellow Turbans.
Zhu Jun: "My God that's the biggest one we ever saw, come everyone to your battle formation!"
Under Zhu Jun's order, every general began to position their army to their respective position in the battle formation. Lie Fan positioned his army at the front as he is one of the vanguards, while preparing their battle formation from their rear there's an army approaching numbering 40.000 men and from their banner, it was Huangfu Song's army
Huangfu Song: " Old Zhu looks like you need some help here, with your number alone fighting open field will cause many men to fall let me help you here"
Zhu Jun: " Old Huang I alone can handle this but what you said is true so I accept your request"
Huangfu Song: "Hahaha still as butter as ever accepting help from others, come let me introduce you to Cao Cao, Cao Song's son. he has a great aptitude for military strategies and tactics and this is Sun Jian, Sun Wentai from Wu a brave general nicknamed tiger of Jiangdong"
Cao Cao: " Cao Cao, Cao Mengde greets General Zhu Jun"
Sun Jian: "Sun Jian, Sun Wentai greets General Zhu Jun"
Lie Fan who wants to join his army overhears their conversation and turns around to see Cao Cao and Sun Jian, the first was the man who will be hailed as the Hero Of Chaos and the First Emperor of Wei in the future while the other will be the father of the Emperor Of Wu and the founder of the Imperial Seal. After remembering the faces, Lie Fan continue riding toward his army position to join them in battle, and before doing that he tells Sun Qian to stay at Zhu Jun's side
Lie Fan: "Chao Bo, Chao Bai, Zang Ba, and Liu Pi when the attack order is given, let's do our usual formation to attack, with Me and Liu Pi leading the Guard Battalion on the left side, Zang Ba leading the Cavalry Battalion on the right side, and Chao Bo Infantry Battalion in the middle while Chao Bai Archer Battalion on the rear"
All: "Yes My Lord!"
