Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 29: Luoyang



Chapter 29: Luoyang

After telling Eunuch Lu to take a rest and call for a servant to order lunch when he is hungry, Lie Fan told his Father to follow him as he has something to talk to with him

Arriving at the front of his room where Sun Qian, Xu Kai, and Liu Pi have waited for them, Lie Fan began to look left and right and then told them to enter his room

Lie Shang: "Fan'er what's going on? What do you want to talk about?"

Lie Fan: " First I wanted to ask does Father have any friends in the Capital. Any upper-rank friends?"

Lie Shang: "Father is close with Wang Yun that old man, but I heard he was not in the Capital right now I don't know why and there is General Zhu Jun's father met him when I was called to the Capital we are not that close but can still be considered as a friend"

Lie Fan: "Zhu Jun?! That general Zhu Jun?! I don't know that Father has high-ranking friends and even though I don't know who Wang Yun is but he sounds important"

Lie Fan was shocked as his Father's friends are important characters at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Yun who will later instigate Lu Bu to assassinateDongg Zhuo, and Zhu Jun one of three Important Generals that will lead the Han Army against the Yellow Turbans

Lie Shang: "Humph! Your Father is a charismatic person so of course many people will like me!"

Lie Fan: "Okay, second I want to ask Father will you go personally or not? I reckon that almost all people will not join and send someone as a representative alongside half of their army"

Lie Shang: "What do you think Fan'er, should Father go in person or not?"

Lie Fan: "I think Father should stay in Huai'An, it's safer and it's been a long time since Father even touch a sword and personally go out to battle. Father can fake sickness and appoint someone as your representative"

Lie Shang: "Hmm okay then, I will appoint you as my Representative and bring 2.000 soldiers from the Huai'An army alongside your army, Ling Dao will follow you to Luoyang as he has connections there and can help you enter which army"

Lie Fan: "Okay Father, you must keep yourself and our Family safe when I'm gone okay? I will bring all of my generals and Master Sun Qian also"

Lie Shang: "Yes I will do that, now go prepare yourself and your army Father will make the letter announcing your appointment"

Lie Shang left the room after saying that, leaving Lie Fan and his retinue which to discuss their course of action

Lie Fan: "Master Sun Qian, what do you think we should do when we arrive at Luoyang?"

Sun Qian: "First we have to make sure we joined up under General Zhu Jun's army as he is your Father's friend, second we will build some relations with other officials or Officers maybe bringing them some gifts also, and lastly prepare some gifts for the Emperor like the copper mirror My Lord has and some batch of fruit wine and beer is a good offering"

Lie Fan: "We will do as Master Sun Qian said, Xu Kai go and told the crafters to prepare 20 Copper Mirrors then to the distillery to make each of Fruity Wine and Beer 300 jar each, told them to make it as soon as possible and their pay will be doubled"

Xu Kai: "Okay Big Brother will do!"

Lie Fan: "Then let's end this meeting, for now, Master Sun Qian can take a rest and Liu Pi lead Master Sun Qian to his room please"

Both Sun Qian and Liu Pi take their leave and when Lie Fan takes off his armor suddenly his door was knocked when Lie Fan asks who's there the door opens and it was Ying Yue who then enters the room

Lie Fan: "Wife why do you come here? Somethings wrong?"

Ying Yue: "Of Course something is wrong! Look at you! You're injured but still do many activities and now you wanted to go to Luoyang?!"

Lie Fan: "Wife this is what I should do, who will protect you and our hometown if not me hmm?"

Ying Yue: "I know you're the best General we have, but can you take care of yourself do you know how scared I was when I saw you bandaged like that?!"

Lie Fan hearing that and seeing Ying Yue's tear stop quarreling with her, moved toward her and hugged her while patting her back to keep her calm while thinking that in the future he needs to stop being arrogant and began to keep himself safe as he had someone waiting for him in home

Lie Fan: "Okay Okay I'm sorry it's my fault, look at you my shy wife is like a tigress now it's true what others said the most beautiful flowers have thorns"

Ying Yue: "*punch* You still can fool around! Come let me see your wound"

Lie Fan: "No need wife, Xu Kai has cleaned it and put some medicine then stitched it so no need to be checked again"

Ying Yue: "Fine, how long will be your expedition now Husband?"

Lie Fan: "I don't know, a year or two maybe? If we can dominate the Yellow Turbans faster I will try to go home early"

Ying Yue: "Okay then, you must not forget that you have a wife you need to marry back home so keep yourself safe okay?"

Lie Fan: "I will follow your order madam!"

Lie Fan saying that caused Ying Yue to giggle and seeing that Lie Fan was mesmerized, a need to kiss her grows in his heart and Lie Fan follow what the heart wants

Ying Yue who was kissed stunned at first then enjoyed it and even reciprocated it while closing her eye

Lie Shang and Lie Fan spend a week keeping Huai'An in order due to the aftermath of the Yellow Turbans' attack, Lie Shang then began to fake sickness due to overwork and announces that Lie Fan will be his representative bringing 2.760 Army with Ling Dao as the Vice General bringing some gifts as an apology towards the Emperor as he can't come in person

Eunuch Lu heard that there was a gift for The Emperor and began to urge them to hurry goes toward Luoyang, so the day after the announcement Lie Fan led 2.760 Soldiers leaving Huai'An with Eunuch Lu carriage and the tribute wagon in the middle of the army

Many Huai'An people say goodbye and saying prayers for Lie Fan to come back safe, Lie Fan's family is also at the scene saying their goodbyes with Wannian crying doesn't want her big brother to leave, Ying Yue putting on a mask to support Lie Fan as to not make him worry about her and focus towards his mission giving him a kiss in front of many people

Lie Fan gave Eunuch Lu 50.000 taels and 10 wines also 1 copper mirror as a gift for him and hinted to say saying good words for him toward the Emperor which Eunuch Lu promised will be done especially with the gifts he got while laughing happily

So a journey toward Luoyang began with a span of 700 Km, they spent a month on the road heading toward Luoyang, and on the way they encounter some small bandits groups and Yellow Turbans that they easily crushed without any casualties

When they passed the Famed Hulao Gate (for Lie Fan of course), Lie Fan saw a massive wall structure spanning from south to north with Mountains on both sides. While resting there, Lie Fan spend some time alongside Xu Kai to learn about the weaknesses or loopholes they can take advantage of in the future.

After staying at Hulao Gate, they spend some time to finally arrived at Luoyang. Lie Fan saw the massive Imperial city with people living there approximately 1 million people, only he knew what will happen to the once beautiful city will be burned and ransacked by Dong Zhuo but he doesn't care about that as he can take the Imperial Seal so a win for him

Entering Luoyang, Eunuch Lu led them toward the Imperial Palace where grandiose and superb architecture and design that Lie Fan can finally see for real and not through books or games, Eunuch Lu told him that his army can be stationed outside the City where an army camp will be made there as a designated area for the official's army

Lie Fan orders Chao Bo, Chai Bai, and Zang Ba to build an encampment outside Luoyang and bring a wagon of 100 Fruit Wine, and beer each with them and keep it safe, the rest will be brought by him to give as a tribute to the emperor

Lie Fan: "Eunuch Lu I thank you for leading as personally to greet The Emperor"

Eunuch Lu: "Fufufu, I have to report to The Emperor so our objective is the same and I'm here to fulfill our agreement"

Lie Fan: "Hahaha thank you then, but do Eunuch Lu think The Emperor will like our Tribute?"

Eunuch Lu: "The Emperor will love it, Your Fruit Wine and Beer is a drink that I have never seen or tasted before and it was marvelous I don't know how those merchant's clans have the mind to make these drinks"

Lie Fan and the group arrive at the Palace, Imperial Guards were checking them, and weapons was prohibited inside the palace so they have to leave them there. Lie Fan looking at the stairs already feels exhausted, after a couple of minutes Lie Fan finally reached the main palace where The Emperor usually conducts his court and saw many people inside

The guards seeing them ask for their name and rank to announce to the Emperor who arrived, Lie Fan introduces himself and where he is from alongside showing the letter his father made that appointed him as his representative

The Imperial Guard: "Lord Lie Fan, son of the Prefect of Huai'An Lie Shang has arrived alongside Eunuch Lu!"
