Jia Xu who saw how surprised Lie Fan was, told Lie Fan about how he was the mastermind behind this happening in Jiaozhi Province because he felt that Shi Xie would grow too strong in terms of manpower and supplies due to how peaceful his area is so he orchestrated for this to happen several years ago.

Lie Fan who heard Jia Xu’s explanation was truly surprised, he didn’t expect that Jia Xu would orchestrate this to happen 6 years earlier than it originally happened.

He actually doesn’t care about Shi Xie, because he knows that Shi Xie is almost like Liu Biao, he doesn’t have ambition and only wants to enjoy the privilege he has right now, and in the future, he will submit to Sun Quan joining Wu.

Of course, Lie Fan appreciates what Jia Xu did because the more chaotic Shi Xie’s land is, the higher the chance of him taking over Jiaozhi Province easily in the future, after taking over Liu Biao or maybe changing the landscape of Yang Province once again.

Lie Fan: ”Haha Wenhe you are truly a genius! It is true that Shi Xie is growing powerful with the resources and manpower he enjoys without any disturbance, great work you have done Wenhe.”

Xun You: ”Master Jia Xu, this is a truly perfect plan, and work on the benefit of My Lord! Military disturbance in Jiaozhi Province would surely catch Liu Biao’s attention, which could also give us a chance to take over Jiangxia from him.”

Jia Xu: ”My Lord and Xun You praises are too high, it’s already my responsibility and duty to help My Lord in mapping the Land for My Lord’s ascension to the throne.”

Lie Fan: ”No matter what you do is truly magnificent, and just like Xun You said Liu Biao’s attention would surely be focused on Jiaozhi, and after taking down Liu Yao we have the chance to take over Jiangxia from Liu Biao’s grasp.”

Jia Xu: ”Liu Biao’s attention would surely be shifted toward the south, but Huang Zu who was put in charge of guarding Jiangxia would surely raise his vigilance against us, so we should proceed with caution.”

Xun You: ”I agree Master Jia Xu, I will develop a strategy for our assault on Jiangxia, I hope you can give me your insight when I finish creating the strategy.”

Lie Fan: ”Wenyou no need to develop the strategy that fats, we should focus on taking down Liu Yao first and consolidating our influences at Yang Province before considering our attack on Jiangxia.”

Xun You: ”Dont worry My Lord, our plan in taking down Liu Yao has proceeded smoothly, as long as it’s going just like we predicted I have the time to develop a new strategy My Lord, of course when it’s done I will discuss it with Master Jia Xu, Chen Qun, and Liu Ye before presenting it to you My Lord.”

Lie Fan nodded his head knowing that he couldn’t stop the enthusiastic Xun You, the Xun You of his timeline shows more emotion than the Xun You he reads in history books and ROTK novels, Lie Fan thinks it’s because the story chat can’t capture Xun You essence.

What Lie Fan doesn’t realize is that the Xun You of his timeline is more open with his personality due to him recruiting Xun You very early, unlike Xun You who had joined Cao Cao after some tribulations in his life and career following Dong Zhuo’s rise to power in Luoyang.

After discussing the matter of Jiaozhi Province, Lie Fan ordered Jia Xu and Xun You to prepare a befitting residence for Sheng Xian who will come in a matter of days or weeks, let all people know that he treated all the Lords with the same level of respect and courtesy.

Jia Xu and Xun You cupped their hand accepted the order, and left the room leaving Lie Fan alone by himself, well not technically alone with his bodyguards near him and at the door.

Lie Fan opened his inventory and saw the anti-aging pills he had. After he consumed one, he forgot about the existence of this pill due to many matters he needed to attend to, hell he sometimes forgot the existence of his system if not for the vision map he always used to remind him about the system’s existence.

He reminds himself to give the pills to his wives, they would surely be happy when they hear it can help their skin to be smooth and keep them young, imagining the smiles on their faces makes him happy.

After looking at the anti-aging pills, he saw the Brass Telescope that he received as a reward and remembered that he wanted to mass produce this for his generals and advisors, especially his admirals since he had a navy now.

Taking it out from his inventory, he walked toward the terrace and used the telescope to look at Wu, the quality of the scenery being seen was not as good as a modern telescope but it can get the job done.

After playing with the brass telescope for a while, Lie Fan remembered that there was no glass-making technique in this era, hell they didn’t even know what glass was so Lie Fan returned to his seat and took out the book of knowledge to find the best technique that could be applied in this era.

Times passed by and the day that Sheng Xian finally reached Wu alongside Lu Jun finally arrived, Lie Fan and his retainers welcomed Sheng Xian at the front of Wu’s Governor Castle.

The historical meeting between Lie Fan and Sheng Xian will be recorded as one of the most impactful meetings at the time of that era, which led to a changing landscape in Yang Province even further.

Lie Fan and Sheng Xian talk together while heading toward the main hall of the castle, while their retainers follow from behind. Sheng Xian only brought his best retainer and bodyguards, while the rest stayed with his army outside of Wu.

Arriving at the Main Hall, Lie Fan changed the design of the room so that Lie Fan and Sheng Xian could sit at the same height equally, while their retainers all sat one level below them at the same height.

Lie Fan: ”Brother Sheng Xian welcome to Wu, I would like to apologize if you see that Wu isn’t that clean should we say, we had just restructured the system, and officials of Wu.”

Sheng Xian: ”Haha it’s okay Brother Lie Fan, thank you for allowing me to meet you, I would like to meet then who personally slayed Zhang Jiao, defeated Lu Bu in a duel, and now become one of the most powerful Lord in the land after defeating Yuan Shu.”

Lie Fan: ”I appreciate your kind words, Brother Sheng Xian. The path to becoming what I am now is paved with challenges, and I merely tread it with determination and cautiousness.”

Sheng Xian: ”Brother Lie Fan you are too humble, not many people can do what you have accomplished.”

Lie Fan: ”Haha thank you, Brother Sheng Xian. Now, tell me, what brings you to Wu? I sense there’s more than mere pleasantries and compliments behind this meeting.”

Sheng Xian: ”Indeed, Brother Lie Fan, I’ve traveled to Wu with a proposal that could change the landscape of Yang Province. It’s a matter of great importance, one that I believe you will find yourself intrigued in and very beneficial to you.”

Lie Fan: ”Oh? You had me intrigued Brother Sheng Xian please elaborate on it.”

Sheng Xian: ”I would like to become some sort of a tributary to you Brother Lie Fan, what do you think of this prospect? In the future when you truly unite the land I will truly submit all of you.”

Everyone in the room was shocked by what Sheng Xian said, even Lie Fan didn’t expect that Sheng Xian was thinking of becoming a tributary to him and then submitting to him if he united the land, of course, Sheng Xian also had a chance to stab him in the back.

Sheng Xian’s retainer immediately stands up and protests what Sheng Xian says, they didn’t expect that Sheng Xian’s purpose in meeting with Lie Fan was to become a tributary even promised to submit to Lie Fan in the future.

Sheng Xian, his gaze unwavering, swiftly silenced them with a stern expression and let out a loud shout telling them to be silent, his voice echoed in the hall, cutting through the tense situation.

Sheng Xian tells them that he has made his decision. If any of them dares to protest or question his judgment, they need to be prepared to face the consequences immediately.

The hall fell into an uneasy silence as Sheng Xian’s retainers exchanged glances, recognizing the gravity of their lord’s determination. The air hung heavy with the unspoken understanding that defiance could lead to severe consequences, perhaps even the swift stroke of Sheng Xian’s blade.

Lie Fan, perceptive to the tension in the room, stepped forward with a calming gesture, his hand extended in a conciliatory manner toward Sheng Xian trying to calm him down, not letting the situation become more tense.

While Sheng Xian managed to be calmed down by Lie Fan, and his retainers were calmed down by Jia Xu and Xun You, Lie Fan then told Sheng Xian that his proposal required careful consideration and they needed to discuss the terms openly and ensure that all parties involved find common ground.

In the midst of this exchange, Jia Xu and Xun You, Lie Fan’s trusted advisors, exchanged subtle glances, conveying silent messages that only those well-versed in the art of strategy could comprehend.

Le Fan asks Sheng Xian to discuss this in a more quiet situation and receives a nod from Sheng Xian, indicating his willingness to engage in a diplomatic discourse, Lie Fan leads him to a more private corner of the hall.

Lie Fan and Sheng Xian’s retainers and advisors withdrew to a respectful distance, while the two lords began their discussion. Sheng Xian’s retainers were grumbling that Sheng Xian decided this all by himself, while Jia Xu and Xun You were conversing by themselves about how this was a great opportunity for Lie Fan.
