Zhou Cang to admire Huang Zhong so fervently that he wanted to be Huang Zhong comrade, he knew that without Zhou Cang with the limited strength he had, he couldn't survive now so he sighs and agrees to serve Lie Fan.
Lie Fan let out a laugh, and he welcomed Pei Yuan Shao to serve him. With this Lie Fan had 10 bodyguards who had the strength of generals, Lie Fan used the eye of Erlang Shen on the two of them.
•Zhou Cang
STR: 598 (Max) VIT: 90 AGI: 94 INT: 68
•Pei Yuan Shao
STR: 315 (Max) VIT: 79 AGI: 71 INT: 54
Seeing the disparity in stats between Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao was a sad one, it can be seen that maybe without Zhou Cang, Pei Yuan Shao would be dead by now.
Zhou Cang also has the highest stats among his bodyguards, his bodyguards are without a team captain, and now with Zhou Cang's arrival, he is the most qualified in terms of strength.
Lie Fan told Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao to stay here for now until they managed to pacify Jibei from the Yellow Turbans, they couldn't show their face to the public, even to Cao Cao and his army to reduce the amount of people knowing about this.
Lie Fan then left the tent, with Huang Shao and Guan Hai, while Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng state to accompany Zhou Cang and Pei Yuan Shao.
Jia Xu was commanding the army, attacking Jibei with every trick in the book, he even wanted to use the power arrows tactic but Xun You said it's both worth it to use on such a small target.
Lie Fan stood beside Jia Xu, seeing that the battle took longer than usual, Lie Fan told Jia Xu to end it right now, as they still had more areas to pacify.
Jia Xu received the order, and he ordered for the drum to be sounded with a fast beat, Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci who is leading their army heard this sound, and ordered a full-scale assault on the Yellow Turbans.
The Power of elite generals combined with an experienced army soon overwhelmed the Yellow Turbans, Lie Fan ordered for the Yellow Turbans to be captured and the one resisting to be killed.
While overseeing the work of his army, Chen Qun approached Lie Fan and gave him a letter, saying that it had just arrived from Cao Cao. Since their army split up, Lie Fan and Cao Cao have ensured that there was a line of communication between their army.
In the letter, Cao Cao explained that he was almost done with pacifying the northern part of Jibei, and asked how is his progress and if he needed help.
Lie Fan just shakes his head at this, he wrote a letter to reply that he is almost done and doesn't need his help, only a fool can't see through the letter as if he accepts the help then he will owe Cao Cao a favor.
Lie Fan: "Jia Xu and Xun You, do you think we can split our army to eliminate the Yellow Turbans faster, if so what's the risk we will have?"
Jia Xu: "The risk is not that big My Lord, with our army and Cao Cao's army eliminating the big groups of Yellow Turbans, there's only medium and small group left."
Xun You: "I agree with what Master Jia Xu said, the risk is not that big and the Yellow Turbans don't have the morale they had previously with the continuous defeat."
Lie Fan: "All right then, Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci will take their Army group, Xun You and Bu Zhi returned to your position as advisor of their army, after eliminating the Yellow Turbans return to your base."
Xun You and Bu Zhi saluted to Lie Fan receiving the order, they said their goodbye and went toward Dian Wei and Taishi Ci. Soon Huang Zhong takes the Qinglong Army with Xun You heading south, and Taishi Ci takes the Zhuque Army with Bu Zhi heading east.
Lie Fan led the rest of his army to head North, toward Jibei where according to their plan, he and Cao Cao would meet.
Lie Fan leads the Tian Mao Battalion with Xu Rong, showing the dominance of the Cavalry to the Yellow Turbans they encountered. Ling Cao and Ze Rong lead the Infantries and archers, with Jia Xu and Chen Qun's guidance.
They spend about 10 days, killing and capturing Yellow Turbans before arriving at Jibei. When they arrived, they saw Jibei being siege by Cao Cao and his army, so Lie Fan led his army to join the battle.
Cao Cao who was leading the siege with Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu received reports that the Lie Fan's army had arrived in the south, and now sieging Jibei from the south.
Cao Cao laughed saying that Lie Fan finally arrived, so Cao Cao's army and Lie Fan's army worked together to siege Jibei. The Yellow Turbans were at a loss, as now they had to focus on two fronts, with each side having its own powerful generals.
Lie Fan participated in the battle with his bodyguards, Ling Cao and Ze Rong followed suit while Xu Rong led the Tian Mao Battalion to protect the rear, in case there was a Yellow Turban army approaching.
Lie Fan with his bodyguards climb the siege ladder at a fast speed, and when they arrive at the top of the wall, Lie Fan and his bodyguards which were 5 men contend with the Yellow Turbans soldiers who are guarding the wall.
Lie Fan's strength was below Lu Bu when they met at Hulao Gate, now he has higher strength and with his fame as one of the heroes who defeated him, the Yellow Turbans were cowering when they met him head-on.
Lie Fan slaughtered the Yellow Turbans easily, with his back being guarded by his bodyguards he was invincible. The Yellow Turbans who were passionate about defending the wall slowly retreated in the face of Lie Fan's might as their weapon couldn't even touch him.
This makes an opening for the infantries to climb up the wall and the battering ram to receive fewer attacks, as one part of the wall has been breached. Lie Fan and his bodyguards push through the Yellow Turbans, and slowly they manage to gain control of the wall.
At this time Ling Cao arrived leading the infantry that had climbed up the ladders, to replace Lie Fan and his bodyguards to attack the Yellow Turbans, and due to the lack I resistance, the battering ram managed to break down the gate.
Ze Rong on the ground led the rest of Lie Fan soldiers to enter the Jibei, Cao Cao who was overseeing his army attacking the age, received a report that Lie Fan had breached the gate.
Cao Cao was surprised, as he was the one who arrived first and hadn't managed to break the north gate, Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong to speed up the siege progress.
Bao Xin who was beside Cao Cao, introduced him to a general named Yu Jin, who was experienced in commanding an army and was his right-hand man. Cao Cao happily greeted Yu Jin, as Bao Xin had become his retainer now, which means his subordinate is his subordinate.
Yu Jin offered some insight into how to go through Jibei's Northern gate, as he was garrisoned in Jibei before. Following Yu Jin's insight, Cao Cao and his army managed to break through Jibei.
With both Lie Fan and Cao Cao's army having entered Jibei, they finished the Yellow Turbans at a fast speed. The Yellow Turbans were defeated, and this ended the Yellow Turbans problem in Northern Yan Province.
Lie Fan and Cao Cao meet up at the Governor's Castle of Jibei, Lie Fan congratulates Cao Cao for finally receiving Yan Province as a whole. Cao Cao laughed and said that without his help, he couldn't be this fast in eliminating the Yellow Turbans.
After talking about some small things, Lie Fan tells Cao Cao to not forget about their pact to attack Yuan Shu and to be on guard against Liu Bei so he can attack them from the rear.
Cao Cao agreed with Lie Fan's suggestion to be on guard against Liu Bei and promised that he would not forget the pact to attack Yuan Shu.
As there was nothing to do, and Cao Cao was busy consolidating his power over Yan Province, Lie Fan decided to leave tomorrow morning, heading back to Xiapi.
Cao Cao was reluctant to let Lie Fan go without a banquet, but Lie Fan just waved his hand and said that they could do a banquet in the future, making Cao Cao owe him a banquet.
Cao Cao laughed and agreed, promising for the banquet in the future. Lie Fan and his army stayed in Jibei to rest and head for Xiapi tomorrow.
When Lie Fan is preparing to sleep, Jia Xu knocks on the door of his room announcing his presence. Lie Fan opened the door and told Jia Xu to come in, asking him why he visited him this late.
Jia Xu: "My Lord there's a letter from Sun Qian, he said that people are waiting for My Lord at Xiapi."
Lie Fan: "Oh? Does he tell us the names of the people that were waiting for me?"
Jia Xu: "The people who were waiting for you are Scholars My Lord, named Yan Jun, Zhuge Jin, and Yi Ji."
Lie Fan: "Oh? Looks like talented people are beginning to choose the tree they wanted to stay on, and looks like I'm one of the biggest trees."
Lie Fan hearing the three names was stunned, he didn't expect these three famous figures to come to visit him. Yi Ji should be on his way to serve Liu Biao according to history, while Zhuge Jin and Yan Jun had roamed the land with Bu Zhi according to history before serving Sun Quan.
They were talented advisors in their own way, Yi Ji is famous for his writings and quick thinking, Yan Jun was known for being a talented scholar and very honest about his abilities when he was appointed to replace Lu Su, and Zhuge Jin was famous for being trusted by Sun Quan, can mediate any conflicts, and for being Zhuge Liang older brother.
