章節 105: 105. Dian Wei vs. Huang Zhong
Lie Fan: "Someone told me about you, about what you have done, what you have accomplished on the battlefield, and your prowess. I have been intrigued to meet you since then, but I want to see the prowess that was described to me! How about you have a duel with my general tomorrow morning?"
Dian Wei: "A duel with a general that was arranged by Governor Lie himself, Dian Wei feels honored and would be a fool to not accept it!"
Lie Fan: "That's great! You can go towards the Western Gate tomorrow morning and meet me there, My army is stationed there so you will not miss it."
Dian Wei: "Then I will meet Governor Lie there tomorrow! I will prove my prowess to the Governor to prove that I'm worthy of your interest!"
Lie Fan and Dian Wei agreed to meet tomorrow after breakfast, Seeing that his purpose had been accomplished he told Dian Wei to return to his comrades. Dian Wei salutes him and then turns his body, entering the tavern and leaving Lie Fan with his bodyguards.
Lie Fan returns to the Inn, where he meets Cai Wenji and her handmaidens also returning from their trip. Cai Wenji's beauty can be said to be below Diao Chan and Ying Yue, but her elegance is more refined than theirs.
Lie Fan: "Lady Cai, I hope that you bring protection in the future when you go out. A beautiful and graceful lady like you can become a target."
Cai Wenji: "I will remember what Governor Lie Fan said, in the future, I will bring some guards alongside me. I just searched for some inspiration, maybe I can create a poem while resting."
Lie Fan: "Lady Cai's dedication to the arts is such an example to us all indeed, Master Cai Yong will have his successor in the future!"
Cai Wenji thanked Lie Fan for his compliment, Lie Fan then said goodbye to her as he didn't want to make others think that he was interested in her. Seeing Lie Fan going upstairs, Cai Wenji felt fortunate that Lie Fan took his leave first. She didn't want to have much contact with the opposite gender, to honor the three obediences and four virtues when se had a husband in the future.
Lie Fan took his rest after entering his room, The next day he was woken up by Jia Xu who told him that it was time for breakfast. Remembering that he had an appointment, Lie Fan freshened himself up and quickly changed his clothes.
At the Inn diner, Jia Xu and Xun You have reserved Lie Fan a seat at their table. Food was already served when Lie Fan joined Jia Xu and Xun You, they ate together under the protection of Liu Pi and Bo Cai who had already eaten breakfast.
Lie Fan: "Master Jia Xu Master Xun You, after breakfast, follow me to our army camp outside I have an appointment there."
Jia Xu: "An Appointment My Lord? Who will we meet there? General Huang?"
Lie Fan: "No, yesterday I explored the city and heard rumors of a person with enormous strength and a sense of justice. I searched for this man and managed to meet him, I invited him today to have a duel with General Huang Zhong to see if the rumor is true."
Xun You: "My Lord plans to recruit him under your banner if the rumor were true then? But even if he has enormous strength, can he really win against General Huang?"
Lie Fan: "General Huang Zhong can test him and see if he has the potential, no matter if he wins or loses or even a draw I will still recruit him!"
Jia Xu and Xun You just looked at each other and agreed to come with Lie Fan, They finished eating breakfast, and Lie Fan boarded a carriage alongside Jia Xu and Xun You Together they went towards the army camp.
Huang Zhong in the army camp was leading morning exercises for the soldiers when a soldier suddenly approached him and informed him that a man was looking for Lie Fan. Hearing this Huang Zhong goes outside of the army camp and sees a stalwart muscular bald man holding a double dagger Axe-Ji in each hand.
Dian Wei and Huang Zhong sized up each other, and both of them deduced that the man in front of them was strong and had the aura of an ultimate warrior. When they are sizing up each other, Lie Fan's carriage approaches the entrance of the army camp.
Lie Fan when he gets down from the carriage, sees this image of Dian Wei and Huang Zhong sizing up each other. For him, this was such an exciting picture as in history the two of them never met each other. He uses the eye of Erlang Shen to see Huang Zhong and Dian Wei's stats to compare the two of them who are stronger.
•Huang Zhong
STR: 803 -> 810 VIT: 200 -> 203 AGI: 214 -> 216 INT: 100 -> 105
•Dian Wei
STR: 795 VIT: 235 AGI: 179 INT: 85
Seeing the stats comparison, in theory, Huang Zhong will win but the difference in their strength is not much. Huang Zhong's stats will be balanced between being a general and a warrior, Dian Wei on the other hand is more suited to become a general who truly leads from the front a warrior with unmatched strength.
Dian Wei hasn't reached the prime age of a warrior, he is only 26 this year ( born 160 AD) he has more room to grow than Huang Zhong who will pass his prime in a decade. Huang Zhong and Dian Wei turn their head toward Lie Fan's direction and they immediately salute him when they see that it's Lie Fan who arrived.
Lie Fan: "General Huang Zhong! Sir Dian Wei! Looks like the two of you have met each other, General Huang this is the person I told you and Sir Dian Wei this is my general whom you will duel. How is it? I heard that when strong warriors meet each other, you can judge if they are worthy opponents or not."
Huang Zhong: "Haha! So this is the man My Lord told me, Dian Wei is it?! I'm Huang Zhong from Nanyang!"
Dian Wei: "Dian Wei of Shangqiu! Old Man I can see that you are strong, but you will grow old sooner or later and Governor Lie Fan will need a new replacement for you!"
Huang Zhong: "Haha! You little brat, these bones may be old but I can still teach you a lesson!"
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei began to taunt each other, Lie Fan seeing this stopped them and told them to settle this with a duel. The two warriors immediately prepare their weapons, Dian Wei with his dual dagger axe-Ji and Huang Zhong with his Guandao both get on the horse prepared for them.
Lie Fan, Xun You, and Jia Xu watch from afar, the duel between Huang Zhong and Dian Wei also attracts a commotion among Lie Fan's soldiers as they want to see who is brave enough to challenge Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong: "Brat, I have promised My Lord to test your strength! Show me your full strength or I will inform My Lord that you are not worthy of joining him!"
Dian Wei: "Humph! I wanted to go easy on you seeing as you are an elder, alright Then let me show Governor Lie Fan my prowess! Hya!!!!"
After Dian Wei finishes saying that, he rides his horse at full speed toward Huang Zhong with his double dagger axe-ji in the attacking position. Huang Zhong also rides his horse when he sees Dian Wei ride towards him, He raises his Guandao and does a powerful downward slash to Dian Wei when he enters his range.
Dian Wei realized that he was at a disadvantage with his range shorter than Huang Zhong's, so he changed from attack to defending with his dual dagger axe-ji do a cross form. The impact of their weapons clashing was so loud, that the city guards at the gate heard the impact.
Dian Wei receiving Huang Zhong's move, pushes Huang Zhong's Guandao and uses one of his dagger axe-ji to attack Huang Zhong managing to leave a cut mark on his armor. Huang Zhong immediately distances himself and does a piercing attack on Dian Wei which manages to be parried by Dian Wei before leaving a cut mark on his cheek.
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei continued their duel, attack after attack was done by each of them. Jia Xu and Xun You were impressed by Dian Wei, they see with their own eyes someone who can fight with Huang Zhong on par.
Lie Fan can see that Huang Zhong and Dian Wei become more and more excited each time their opponent manages to receive their attack, They have already done 200 movements in total and there's no sign of stopping. Just like he predicted, even though in theory Huang Zhong would win Dian Wei can stand toe to toe with Huang Zhong due to his endurance.
When they reached 350 moves, Lie Fan thought it was enough as he could see the duel between the 2 generals who said can rivaled Lu Bu in their prime.
Lie Fan: "Okay that's enough! General Huang Zhong, Sir Dian Wei! Both of you can stop now!"
Hearing Lie Fan, both of them stopped their movement at the same time. Dian Wei's dagger axe-ji stopped right before touching Huang Zhong's abdomen, while Huang Zhong Guandao stopped before touching Dian Wei's shoulder.
Both of them see the admiration for each other in their eyes, laughing loudly Both of them lower their weapons and toward Lie Fan.
Huang Zhong: "My Lord! The rumor about this brat is true! My old bones can still hold against him now but in 10 years, he will definitely overpower me! My Lord has truly found a hidden tiger Haha!"
Dian Wei: "Governor Lie Fan and General Huang Zhong are jesting. If this is truly a combat between the two of us, he will manage to kill me before reaching 300 moves"
Lie Fan: "Haha! The two of you are too humble, I have seen many generals in my time serving in the Imperial Army and I can boldly say that the two of you defeated all the generals I have ever met!"
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were proud to hear Lie Fan's appraisal of the two of them, Lie Fan told the soldiers to take the horses back and then he brought everyone entering the main tent.
Lie Fan: "I have seen your prowess, Sir Dian Wei! Then are you willing to join me and bring peace to our land?"
Dian Wei: "My Lord, Dian Wei willing to follow the honorable Governor Lie Fan onto the battlefield and bring peace to our country!"
*DING!!*
[Congratulations Host For completing the achievement 'The Three Kingdom E'Lai' by recruiting Dian Wei to become your General
Received 95.000 SP, 10 strength potion, and 300.000 EXP ]
Lie Fan hearing this was ecstatic, didn't care about his reward, and walked toward Dian Wei who was on his knees telling him to stand up while happily saying that Dian Wei was his E'Lai now due to his ferocity and bravery.

章節 106: 106. Arrive Back At Xiapi
Lie Fan hearing this was ecstatic, didn't care about his reward, and walked toward Dian Wei who was on his knees telling him to stand up while happily saying that Dian Wei was his E'Lai now due to his ferocity and bravery.
Huang Zhong: "Haha! What My Lord said is not too far from the truth! This brat is still in his mid-twenties but his strength is already at this level, combined with his ferocity saying that he is the E'Lai of our time is not wrong Haha!"
Dian Wei: "My Lord and General Huang Zhong's compliments are too high for me, How can I be compared to the legendary E'Lai?! There are many people stronger than me, where will I put my face if they heard what My Lord said."
Dian Wei is actually a simple-minded man, but it doesn't mean that he is ignorant of the world he only does what his heart wants. Embarrassed Dian Wei scratched his head, Lie Fan on the other hand in his heart agreed there were many strong people but on the level of Dian Wei maybe only Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun.
Jia Xu and Xun You just listened to the conversation between the three men, They weren't martial artists but when they heard what Lie Fan said they agreed with him. They already see Dian Wei's ferocity and bravery firsthand, they feel that Lie Fan may be chosen by Heaven to truly restore peace due to his Heaven's luck gaining talent after talent under him.
Lie Fan: "Ah Yes I almost forgot! General Dian Wei this is Master Jia Xu and Master Xun You, The two of them are the brains behind our military and you should always listen to what they say!"
Dian Wei: "Dian Wei have seen Master Jia Xu, Master Xun You! I hope to learn much under the supervision of Master Jia Xu and Master Xun You!"
Jia Xu: "General Dian Wei joining under Our lord truly shows that Heaven blessed My Lord! Not only did he gain General Huang Zhong, but now he also has General Dian Wei! I'm afraid that even without the strategy from me and Xun You, the two of you can win the battle easily Aha-Aha."
Xun You: "I agree with what Master Jia Xu said about Our Lord blessed by Heaven, but no matter how strong General Huang Zhong and General Dian Wei are, at the end of the day they are only one man and can be defeated by overwhelming numbers or a meticulously planned strategy!"
Jia Xu hears Xun You can only sigh, Everyone can see that he is joking but this man is so straight that he takes it seriously. Lie Fan just laughs seeing this, this is one of the reasons why Jia Xu likes Xun You as he can feel at ease near him.
Managed to achieve his purpose on this trip, Lie Fan told everyone to prepare everything they needed and ordered Dian Wei to also bring his family as they would relocate to Xiapi as it's safer there. Dian Wei is touched that Lie Fan cared for the safety of his family, and he promised to repay this kindness as not many high-ranking officials care for the families of his subordinates let alone common people.
2 days later, a Large fleet of carriages was assembled again in a straight line. Cai Clan carriage and Jia Clan carriage with the new addition Dian Wei's family carriage, Dian Wei brought his parents and parents-in-law alongside him so there are 2 carriages.
Lie Fan also meets Dian Wei's son Dian Man who is only 8 years old, While his strength is lower than his father he is perfect as a bodyguard which he thinks can be included in the future as the only maskless Bodyguard.
Dian Man was promoted due to his father, but It can't be denied that he protected Cao Cao with care throughout his entire life before he died and then continued protecting Cao Pi. His contribution to the large-scale picture is not worth mentioning but protecting 2 leaders of Wei without a single accident showed his prowess and contribution to the smaller-scale picture.
Together they continued their journey to Xiapi, 20 days later they reached Xiao Pei where a large moat surrounding Xiao Pei was being built. From the look of it will be finished in 3 months, Chao Bai who was stationed there was recalled to follow Lie Fan returning to Xiapi.
The 5,000 former Yellow Turbans soldiers will continue their work under the supervision of Xiao Pei Governor and Chao Bai's subordinate who was picked to lead the 5.000 soldiers stationed here to keep an eye on the Yellow Turbans. Chao Bai was happy that he was finally recalled, he thought that Lie Fan had forgotten about him.
After recalling Chao Bai, Lie Fan and his group continue their journey to Xiapi. Everyone except for Lie Fan's soldiers, Huang Zhong, Jia Xu, and Chao Bai was amazed by how the people they encountered were happy and had no signs of malnourishment.
Look at the people of Shangqiu before, only people with official rank and merchants can eat until they are full. The common people only can eat small pieces at a time to save it, they only eat to not feel hungry which deprives them of the nutrition.
They know that famine has struck the country due to the uprising from the Yellow Turbans which made many farmers join them, leaving the crops unattended and can't be harvested because they died.
10 days later they reached Xiapi, At the Governor's Castle Chen Gui, Chen Deng, Sun Qian, and Chao Bo were waiting for Lie Fan. Since they entered Xu Province, Chao Bo has been informed by Oriole members working as a courier through letters saying that it was from Jia Xu.
Lie Fan and his group arrived at Xiapi's Western Gate, and his 2,000 soldiers were incorporated back into the army camp under the leadership of Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Chao Bai. Cai Clan, Dian Wei's family, and Jia Xu's family were escorted toward the residences that had been prepared for them in the Official district.
The row of carriages entering Xiapi attracted many people's attention, but seeing Lie Fan at the helm common people cheered while the upper-class people didn't dare to do anything as they didn't want to offend this man.
Upper-class people were sensitive to the changing political situation, Lie Fan's rise to power in the court was known here in Xiapi alongside his military power here in Xu Province except for stupid and crazy people no one dared to disturb him.
After escorting everyone back, Lie Fan told Jia Xu and Xun You that he wanted to rest first and for them to go to the Governor's Castle and give updates on the situation to the others there. Jia Xu and Xun You take their leave to go to the Governor's Castle, Lie Fan brings his bodyguards toward the Lie Clan residence here in Xiapi.
When he left for Luoyang, Lie Fan ordered the former Governor's Official residence to be renovated as it didn't suit his taste, and all the expenses were paid by the enterprise he built across Xu Province. Now his family has a new and bigger home here in Xiapi, he decided to renovate it also because it will become the symbol of his power in the future.
Arriving at the magnificent Mansion, it was 2 times bigger than the one at Luoyang and it will become his property in 2 or 3 years. Entering his home, He sees Diao Chan, Ying Yue, and Wannian playing with Snow who has grown bigger in the large garden.
He can see that Diao Chan's complexion has improved a lot compared to before and heaves a sigh of relief. Diao Chan who was taking some breath, turned her head and saw Lie Fan standing at the entrance with his bodyguards.
Surprised by this, Diao Chan at first thought that she was hallucinating so she rubbed her eyes. Seeing that Lie Fan still standing there and even giving her a warm smile and opening his arms, for the first time Diao Chan runs toward Lie Fan and hugs him tightly. Ying Yue who was attracted by Diao Chan's sudden movement saw this and joined Diao Chan in hugging Lie Fan.
Diao Chan + Ying Yue: "Husband you're back!"
Lie Fan: "Haha I'm back! Do my wives miss me?"
Diao Chan: "Of Course we are, I was afraid that you didn't want me anymore since our accident."
Lie Fan: "Chan'er how can I not want you, you're my wife now and only woman with this title is missed by me!"
Diao Chan and Ying Yue giggle at the same time, On the way to Xiapi both Diao Chan and Ying Yue's bond has grown stronger. They act as spiritual support toward each other, Ying Yue helping Diao Chan get out of her nightmare and Diao Chan helping Ying Yue become more confident in herself.
Wannian who saw this also joined in, She protested that her big brother and big sisters ignored her and didn't hug her. Lie Fan saw this and thought that his sister had grown cuter, he picked her up and hugged her, saying that he would never ignore the little princes of their family.
Lie Fan's return was welcomed by a feast under Yu Yan's mandate, the family eats lunch together happily. Lie Fan gives special care to his wives, he puts their favorite food in their bowls putting almost all of his attention to them.
Seeing this scene makes Yu Yan miss her husband, she thinks that it may maybe better if she returns to Huai'an to accompany her husband as they haven't seen each other in a long time. The only thing holding her back is Wannian, she is afraid that if she leaves her here, her big brothers and sisters will spoil her.
After their feast, Lie Fan goes to his quarters to take a rest. He cleaned himself and changed into clean clothes, Sitting on his bed he suddenly remembered about the Golden Package he received a long time ago when he finished the west to reach a higher position than his father.
Opening his inventory, he clicked on the golden package and opened it to see what he would receive seeing that it was said to be a milestone which intrigued him.
*DING!!!*
[ Host has opened the Golden Package, receiving God-level cultivation Yin Yang Separation by Pangu, 150.000 SP, 1.000.000 taels, +3 CHR, 20 Cultivation Pills, Personalized Force Banner, and 500.000 EXP]
•Yin Yang Separation
The fraction of Power that was left by Pangu after separating Heaven and Earth, to maintain the barrier of Sky and Land absorbing the energies of the world.
+22 STR. +18 VIT, +15 AGI, +12 INT, +10 WIS
•Cultivation Pills
Pills that were made in the Alchemy Cauldron of Heaven, eating it can help the Host in their cultivation collecting energy of the world faster.
•Personalized Force Banner
The Force Banner that was bestowed by Heaven, has a large area effect that raises the morale of the army and boosts their combat power as long as the Army morale is high.
Lie Fan was super excited seeing the lucrative rewards he received, especially the God-level cultivation. He doesn't need to search for large amounts of SP now, he remembered from the system store that this is the number 2 God cultivation below Jade Create The Heaven.
Lie Fan immediately replaced his cultivation method, saying goodbye to Sun Tzu's Art Of War that had accompanied him for so long with Ying Yang Separation. He then ate a cultivation pill and began to cultivate, Increasing his power is more important than his rest so he wants to increase his cultivation at least to level 1.
[AT:I see that the PS support has been going down lately, I don't feel everyone has to be obliged to give PS But it's also some kind of moral support for me making RTK, I enjoy making it but sometimes it can get especially hard with how the sometimes IRL stuff keeps happening
I hope that everyone gives their sincere opinion if they feel that my pace is too slow or too many fillers or it's too cringe so I can improve it!
I just want to voice out my heart and this isn't to force everyone to give their PS or looking for pity! ❤️]
