Hearing all of the Information that Lie Fan shares, Lie Shang and the Commanders is shocked even though the information is a bit too detailed but they ignore that as the threat that the Yellow Turbans represented is big enough to make them launch military alert and prepare the soldiers to War
Ling Dao: "Young Lord if what you said is true then we need to recruit more soldiers to defend ourselves at least to 5.000 so we can counter them and defend Huai'An"
Navy Commander: "I agree, as for the Navy training more marines is hard as not everyone can swim and be ready to face sea sickness so raising them to 450 is already a limit we can train"
City Guards Commander: "The City Guards will recruit more people and raise ourselves to 500 to patrol the City more often and double our patrol routine outside the city"
Lie Fan: "I agree with what all the Commanders said but it is my Father the Prefect of Huai'An who will decide what is our next step"
Lie Shang who was listening to their conversation and thinking that what he had in mind is already been said by the commanders suddenly was put on the spot by what his son said which startled him who was still thinking
Lie Shang: " I agree with all of your proposals, I approve that The Army, City Guards, and Navy recruit new people to the numbers that each one of their respective Commander just stated, Also I would like to announce that My Son Lie Fan thanks to his contribution were given rank Chuangzu this Morning when he meets me as a reward for his contribution and allowed to make a separate Squadron as his army and can recruit up to 500 men in which his 150 soldiers were included in that number.
I have drafted the announcement and will announce it at tomorrow morning's meeting to all Officials and Commanders but seeing all the High Ranking Commanders are here I will tell you first"
Hearing what Lie Shang said, The Commanders congratulated Lie Fan and Lie Fan returned their salute with a smile and wave saying that their ranking is much higher and have more experience than him so he will need their help in the future.
Hearing what Lie Fan said made all the people there laugh making the tense atmosphere slightly cooler, after a bit of banter Lie Shang ordered the servants to serve them food and wine as its already nearing dinner time
Lie Fan was given toast after toast from the commanders and his father making him a bit drunk, they were eating and drinking till late and all of the commanders go back to their home Lie Shang tell the servants to bring Lie Fan back to his room
Lie Fan was taken back to his room by the servants, when they were on the way they meet Ying Yue who joined them bringing Lie Fan to his room
Arriving at Lie Fan's room, he was put on his bed by the servants and Ying Yue prepare some warm water with some cloth to wipe Lie Fan's body. She told the other servants to leave and then she closed the door, she take the cloth and wipe Lie Fan's body gently while sometimes watching Lie Fan face in which her face is blushing due to some things she saw and touched wipe his body
Lie Fan who was wiped by Ying Yue opened his eyes and saw Ying Yue with a gentle smile wiping him with moonlight shining her making her appear as a Fairy that descended from the moon. Seeing this Lie Fan suddenly get up, take Ying Yue's hand, and pull her to him then lay on the bed with her
Ying Yue who was shocked because Lie Fan suddenly get up still can't process what just happened until she feels the soft texture of the bed and the arm that wrapped around her then she realise what just happened
Ying Yue: "Husband what are you doing? let me go it's not good to be seen "
Lie Fan: "Aiyoo it's okay no one going to come it's already midnight, you don't need to go back to your room and just sleep here with me"
Ying Yue: "Wh-Wha-What?! No, we aren't married yet how can we do those things" *blushed*
Ying Yue answering what Lue Fan just said suddenly heard a snore and when she looks up she saw that Lie Fan is already asleep, she tried to wiggle out from Lie Fan's embrace but failed so as there was no choice she decided to sleep with Lie Fan
The next morning when Lie Fan woke up he smelled something fragrant and feel something soft beside him, opening his eyes he see Ying Yue sleeping beside him which shocked him at first but suddenly he got a bit dizzy and remembered what happened yesterday night
Remembering what happened Lie Fan is happy and sad at the same time happy that he can sleep with Ying Yue but sad because nothing happened. Lie Fan tries to get up slowly to kot wake Ying Yue but failed as Ying Yue opened her eyes, the two of them just stared each other for a second and Lie Fan kisses Ying Yue forehead as a greeting
Lie Fan: "Good morning wife, how was your sleep?"
Ying Yue: "Go-Good its good, husband you're already up let me prepare the bath for you"
Lie Fan: "No need wife, I have to go to my army camp and recruit some new soldiers, You wait for me at home okay?"
Ying Yue: "Okay husband be safe and don't forget to eat breakfast"
Lie Fan and Ying Yue get out of his room separately to not be seen by others, Lie Fan goes to the stable and takes his horse pangu to go to his camp to recruit new soldiers and began preparing for the yellow turbans
Leaving Huai'An, Lie Fan goes 2 Km north of Huai'An and arrived at his camp located at a strategic geographical location with a mountain in their back and on the east of the sea, entering the camp he called for Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Zang Ba to meet him at the Command Tent
Lie Fan enters the Command Tent and takes out the Vision Map in which he put small flags and wooden figures as symbols so his Commander can understand the map when he is talking as they can't see what he sees.
Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Zang Ba enter the Command tent saluting Lie Fan and walk toward their position and wait for Lie Fan's instruction
Lie Fan: "Everyone yesterday I was Appointed by My Father and given the Military rank Chuangzu which he allowed me to make 500 Men Army, our original 145 men are included in that number, But we will just recruit 500 new men, and train them as hard as our originals men so we will be having 645 men in which the 500 men will be paid from the government and our originals paid from my own money"
All Three: "Congratulations My Lord!"
Lie Fan: "My first official order is to separate the Camp into three divisions each led by three of you, Chao Bo will lead the Archers numbering 150 men, Chao Bai will lead the Infantries numbering 200 men, and Zang Ba will lead the Cavalries numbering 150 men, and the 145 Men from our originals will be led by me as a special division. All of you will be given the title Commander of each division, began recruiting immediately per our original requirements, Dismissed!."
Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Zang Ba were happy that they finally received their first official military rank and led their respective division, They thank Lie Fan profusely and leave the command tent to begin executing the orders given to them.
Lie Fan stayed alone in the Command Tent, watching the Vision Map to observe the movement of the Yellow Turbans around Huai'An as that was the main threat that will come down upon Huai'An first.
Lie Fan: "Sun Tzu, is there any talisman or statues, etc that can have area effect to boost physical training?"
Sun Tzu: "The one that you can buy is the 'Flag Of Qilin' which boosts training by 15% with an area of 300 Meters"
Lie Fan: "How much is it?"
Sun Tzu: "They are 30.000 SP"
Hearing the price Lie Fan gnash his teeth as his SP is not many and looks like Sun Tzu will start giving big Quest when the Yellow Turbans start after some contemplating Lie Fan decided to buy the Flag Of Qilin which appeared on his hand
The Flag Of Qilin is colored white with a picture of green colored Qilin, looking at the generic flag Lie Fan feels that he was scammed but he decides to trust Sun Tzu and Call the guards to position this flag in the Training Area to see the effect as soon as possible
