Jia Kui strategy immediately gained support from bit Cao Ren and Zhang Ji who puts the control of the army to Jia Kui, under Jia Kui leadership Cao Ren and Zhang Ji's men began to move as what Jia Kui have in mind for his strategy, The Tong pass defenders send letters asking for reinforcement to Li Jue where when he received the letters was furious and coughed up some blood, resulting in him to faint and causing panic among his men.

While Li Jue's retainers panicked seeing Li Jue suddenly fainted before them, the lack of response from Li Jue causes the Tong Pass defenders to dismay since several weeks have passed by, and there was no response.

Cao Ren and Zhang Ji knew that even if Tong Pass defenders asked for reinforcement to Li Jue, it would never come because Li Jue lacked the manpower with almost all of his men send out to Tianshui and Anding.

So Cao Ren and Zhang Ji take their time in pressuring Tong Pass, since with Jia Kui strategy they managed to cross the Wei river safely their entire army now build their encampment several tens if meters from Tong Pass.

The turmoil in Sili Province especially in Li Jue's domain soon spread out to the entire land, with Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Cao Cao combined attack toward Li Jue become the highlight of this year news after Gongsun Zan defeated by Yuan Shao.

This news caused some waves because they knew that it will change the landscape of power in the land once again, everyone could see that Li Jue's days are numbered and it's only a matter of time before he succumbed to the combined attack.

Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, the two warlords who was the nearest to the battle area prepared their army in case the fire sudden spread to them, if it's Cao Cao he will never attacked them but they doesn't know about Ma Teng and Han Sui if they will attack them.

Of course the news about Li Jue being attacked and the subsequent movement made by the other Warloeds was known by Lie Fan, when he was waiting for the perfect time to start his plan against Liu Biao and Gongsun Du, he was using one of the times he received from mission reward concerning Lu Bu.

He uses the animal training flute, when looking at his inventory Lie Fan remembered this reward he received, he takes it out and began playing the flute even though he never have any experience in playing it.

When he plays the flute, it was like his body already knew what needs to be done and his mind was just following alongside him, the moment the sound comes out from the flute it attracted the attention of several birds that comes fly in in from the windows.

Lie Fan seeing this was ecstatic, because this means that he will have animals that could be trained to become a message carrier for him, not just birds but maybe other type of animal.

Of course birds will be the main focus for now, so Lie Fan continue making the flute and soon 10 birds was inside his office listening to him playing while chirping like they were singing alongside him who was playing the flute.

After some minutes passed by, he then tried instructing the birds to fly around the room and soom after the birds began to fly around the room, with the sounds of their wings flapping filling the room.

Lie Fan let out a laugh seeing this happening as not only this will help the Oriole in reporting and coordinating, but also allowed an easier communication line.

He still needs to thinker with this for a while, to see the extend the birds can understand his verbal command, and if they can send the messages to the correct people, as this type of messenger Bird's sometimes trained to only knew 2 people who uses the bird to exchange information between each other.

After feeling that's it's enough, he outs the flute back to his inventory and tell the birds to leave the room and followed his when he leave the building, which then this 10 birds immediately fly out the room.

Lie Fan then leave the Governor Castle alongside his bodyguards, and when he looks up to the skies he saw the birds following him from above, Lie Fan was satisfied with this and continue his ride toward the Lie Clan Estate.

Arriving home, Lie Fan goes toward the playcare room that he created for his children, where they not only can play there but also study but in a fun way, when he arrive there he saw all of his loved ones in there, including Wannian.

He spends some time with his loved ones, playing with his children and teaching them some words in a fun way with Wannian, and then spend some time with his wives where he also gave them the eternal youth pill each alongside the Longevity Jade Necklace.

Lie Fan explained to them that the pills was to keep them healthy while the necklace are gifts he brought for them, this causes Ying Yue, Diao Chan, and Cai Wenji to be very happy and hugged Lie Fan in turns.

Diao Chan even gave Lie Fan a kiss on the cheek, which caused Wannian to let out a squel while blocking Chenchen and Yaoyao eyes who have turned 5 years old this year.

While Lie Fan was enjoying time with his family, at this time a maid comes in and apologized for interrupting them, and give Lie Fan a letter saying that it was from Jia Xu which Lie Fan immediately take and open to read.

The other contained information that Gan Ning have returned to Huai'An secret port with almost all of the ships they have in the navy, and right now resupllying and resting before heading out to Chanyang County, as Jia Xu have sent a letter to Gan Ning informing him of the plan and what he needs to do.

Lie Fan face turned solemn as this means he meed to minimize his army soon, he needs to head out toward Changyang with the Zhuque Army while the Qinglong, Baihu, and Xuanwu Army will head toward Lujiang in preparation to attack Liu Biao.

Ying Yue, Diao Chan, and Cai Wenji see the sole look on Lie Fan face and knew that either something bad happens or Lie Fan needs to head out, as this is the face he would always shown in front of them when either of these two thing happened.

Ying Yu asked Liw Fan what's wrong, and Lie Fan woken up by Ying Yue's voice, immediately explained to the three of them about what happened and what he will do, which receive a sour look from the three of them.

Lie Fan could only gives a smile and apologize, promising that he will return as soon as he can safely and without any harm, which the three of his wife court only sigh and tell him to keep himself safe and always on alert.

After giving a kiss to each of them, Lie Fan goes toward his children and also gave them a kiss, and a hug to Wannian before leaving the playcare room alongside his bodyguards.

With Lie Fan leaving the room, soon everything passed by quickly with Lie Fan calling of his advisors and generals in Xiapi, even Zhao Yum was invited as an honored guest which was accepted by Zhao Yun.

In the hall, Lie Fan explained that the first step of the Northern Plan will be done as Gan Ning will began to head out toward Changyang from Huai'an, so subsequent move needs to be done so that the first step can be completed.

Lie Fan: "First, Yi Ji draft letters of order for the entire army head generals to prepare their Mary and head out toward the location that was informed in their letter, but do so silently and to not attract any attention, they have some time before the second step of the plan."

Yi Ji: "Yes My Lord, may I know the location each army will be headed to?"

Lie Fan: "Zhuque Army to Changyang, while the rest head toward Lujiang. Next, Mi Zhu and Chen Gui, how is the condition of our treasury and supplies?"

Chen Gui: "The supplies are ready My Lord, since the good harvest we get every season now, we have abundant surplus so as long as My Lord order it, the supplies can be hand out immediately."

Mi Zhu: "For the condition of our treasury My Lord, it's above average due to the expenses we spend for the telescope project and also the expansion of our arsenal in both the Army and Navy alongside Xiapi Project, as long as it's a swift war and no complication happened, everything will be fine."

Lie Fan: "Thats good, keep everything in check and if anything bad happened Immediately report to me, and since I will lead the Qilin Armt personally, Chen Qun and Liu Ye will stay to oversee my domain while General Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will keep Xu Province safe."

Chen Qun: "Yes My Loed don't worry, I alongside Liu Ye will keep the governance of your force keep working and also coordinate with General Huangfu and General Zhu to keep Xu Province safe."

Zhao Yun: "Excuse me, Lord Lie Fan and the respected advisors and generals of Lord Lie Fan, I'm sorry to interrupt but can I lend me and my 5,000 brothers to help keep Xu Province safe?"

Lie Fan hearing Zhao Yun's question before anyone could respond, he immediately agrees but says that as long as Zhao Yun doesn't feel burdended to do so, while thinking in his mind that only a food would refuse Zhao Yun's help.

Zhao Yun receiving Lie Fan's agreement cupped his hand toward Lie Fan and said that he isny burdmed to do so, he promised to keep Xu Province safe working alongside Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to repay the kindness that Lie Fan have shown to him.

Lie Fan wave his hand and told Zhao Yin that he doesn't need to repay anything as he does that from his own freewill, he said to Zhao Yun that he will pay him and his 5,000 men for the work they doing as long as Lie Fan was still in his campaign and that he doesn't take any refusal.

Hearing that Zhao Yin could only reluctantly agree, while he doesn't care about such pay and willing to do it for free, it doesn't mean that his brothers would agree to do it for free.

With Zhao Yun's agreement, Lie Fan ended the meeting and everyone began to do their assignment that they receive or keep doing what they originally was doing, Lie Fan and Jia Xu began to order the Oriole to let out the rumors of him wanting to attack Gongsun Du to distract everyone, and when he finished coordinating with Jia Xu an unexpected guest was waiting for him in his office when he returns from Jia Xu's office.
