Reborn In The Three Kingdoms

Chapter 130: 130. The End Of An Era

Lie Fan's sets of orders surprised everyone, this time the Fang Clan is truly finished. Even if the younger generation of Fang Clan survives, they don't have the chance to get revenge and can only be part of Lie Fan's free labor force. This was also a warning to them, that this would happen to those who opposed or offended Lie Fan.

Jia Xu cupped his hand and left the main hall to convey his message to the City Guards, The Interest Group just stayed silent after hearing Lie Fan's announcements. Lie Fan still needs them, maybe in the future when the commoners have more access to education, he can balance their power.

The Noble and Merchant groups have an advantage over the millions of commoners, which is a chance for education and of course, wealth that was passed down from generations of ancestors, Lie Fan is only afraid of the backlash it will do to his administration.

The commoners still needed time before to cultivate, and the Noble's and Merchant's still had the upper hand. At least before his regime has absolute power, he will not implement this plan.

Outside the Governor's Castle, Lie Fan's orders were being executed. Fang Clan's properties were snatched by force under Jia Xu's oversee, the Fang Clan began to panic due to the heavy retaliation from Lie Fan.

The mercenaries were either dead or surrendered, and the surrendered mercenaries were sent to the prisoner's army camp. Fang Clan's residence was surrounded in just 2 hours by the City Guards under Jia Xu's leadership.

Fang Zhu walks out to the entrance, cursing and condemning Lie Fan for what he has done. While saying that, suddenly he was stabbed in the back with a sword surprising everyone. A man, maybe aged between 25 and 30 was the culprit and a member of the Fang Clan.

After the sword was pulled out from his chest, Famg Zhu turned around and saw the man he always bullied in the clan due to him being born from a lowly maid and his father. While spitting out blood from his mouth, Fang Zhu pointed his hand toward this man trembling and then collapsed.

Jia Xu was surprised by this turn of events, he didn't expect that Fang Zhu would be killed at the hand of his member. Jia Xu told the City Guards to storm in and take all people captive except for this young man, a man like this one can be used by his Lord.

Approaching this young man, Jia Xu introduced himself to him and asked for his name. The young man introduced himself as Fang Yue, he hoped that he could join Lie Fan's army as he had been obstructed from joining since the time Kie Fan arrived at Xiapi for the first time.

Jia Xu patted him on the shoulder, saying that his dream would be granted due to his contribution to killing a traitor and fugitive. Screams and shouts can be heard inside the Fang Clan residence, Jia Xu and Fang Yue ignore the sound.

Both of them waited for some time before a city guard came out and reported to Jia Xu that everything had been done according to Lie Fan's order. All the generations aged above 20 except for women have been killed, the rest comprised women and people aged 20 and below left alive.

Jia Xu ordered the City Guards to send them to the concentration camp that was built outside of Xiapi, putting them there for now waiting for further notice from Lie Fan.

Jia Xu then borough Fang Yue alongside him to meet Lie Fan, by this time the meeting between Lie Fan and the Interest group should have ended. Bringing Fang Yue to the Governor's Castle, Jia Xu leads him to Lie Fan's office.

Lie Fan is inside his office, reviewing and approving documents when suddenly the door is knocked and Jia Xu announces his presence. Lie Fan told Jia Xu to come in, and seeing that there was another figure alongside Jia Xu surprised him.

Lie Fan: "Who is this man you brought Jia Xu? Don't tell me that you found your illegitimate son!"

Jia Xu: "My Lord is jesting, I'm only in my forties how would I have a some aged in his thirties? Let me introduce to you this is Fang Yue, it's thanks to his help that we managed to eliminate the Fang Clan faster."

Fang Yue: "Greeting My Lord, I'm Fang Yue from the Fang Clan that you eliminated. I wanted to join your army ever since you came to Xiapi, but that idiot Fang Zhu obstructed me saying that he would be embarrassed that a member of his family is joining the army."

Lie Fan: "Hmph that Fang Zhu is an idiot all right, who are you to Fang Zhu?"

Fang Yue: "Fang Zhu is my elder brother you can say, but we are born from a different mother. His mother is the lady and my mother is only a maid."

Lie Fan nods his head, a resentment like this can become a sword when the clan is not stable. But hearing Fang Yue's name he felt familiar, Lie Fan told Jia Xu and Fang Yue to sit down while he took out the book of knowledge from his inventory through the desk compartment.

While talking with Jia Xu and Fang Yue, Lie Fan began to search for Fang Yue's name and found that he is a general under Wang Kuang in the future who will be killed by Lu Bu when dueling him with a single blow.

Lie fans looked up and used the Eye of Erlang Shen on Fang Yue, he wanted to see the stats Fang Yue had. A general that was sent to duel Lu Bu, at least his strength is not low by any means and it's just Lu Bu that is too overpowered.

Lie Fan is surprised by his strength, at least he is more powerful than Chao Bo, Chao Bai, and Zang Ba for now. He is much older than them, but their experience is higher than Fang Yue.

Lie Fan: "Fang Yue you have made a big contribution by killing Fang Zhu, don't worry you will not branded as a kin murderer. Due to this, you will be assigned as the vice commander of my infantries under Chao Bai."

Jia Xu: "My Lord! Isn't the position you assigned to Fang Yue too high? He doesn't have sufficient experience in commanding an army."

Fang Yue: "My Lord what Master Jia Xu said is true! I only know how to swing my weapon and martial arts, as for commanding an army I don't know anything about it."

Lie Fan: "Don't worry you two, Fang Yue you just need to clear under Chao Bai. Just follow Chao Bai, learn from him, and accumulate experience slowly "

Seeing that Lie Fan's decision can't be budged, Jia Xu relented and allowed Lie Fan to do so. For him Lie Fan's choice in putting people in their assigned position was never wrong, so he decided to trust Lie Fan.

Fang Yue was touched by Lie Fan's trust, even though his clan and nephew had committed such a big crime against him he still trusted him. Fang Yue stands up from his seat and kneels before Lie Fan, swearing that he will learn and live up to Lie Fan's trust.

Nodding his head in acknowledgment, Lie Fan told them to leave his office as he had matters to attend to. Jia Xu and Fang Yue both leave Lie Fan's office, Jia Xu then guides Fang Yue toward the army camp to meet with Lie Fan's other generals.

Since that meeting, 3 months passed by and Lie Fan managed to breakthrough through his cultivation through one level.

Xiapi has been calm since the Fang Clan incident, Wannian is recuperating greatly and Cai wenji visited Lie Clan's residence almost every day. Since the accident between the two of them, Lie Fan and Cai Wenji have always been a bit awkward when the two of them meet each other.

Ying Yue and Diao Chan notice this, but they stay silent for now as maybe they can be wrong. Wannian didn't notice this, she was happy every day as Cai Wenji whom she was sometimes afraid of always played with her now.

All ongoing projects were going smoothly, The firework was finally completed and Lie Fan went to the test site far away from Xiapi so that Tao Qian didn't notice it.

Seeing it fly upwards and explode like the one he knows, Lie Fan is happy to conclude that this is the perfect firework. Lie Fan ordered the craftsmen and alchemist to mass produce the fireworks, and to begin incorporating the fireworks into the Nest of Bees and Fire Lance.

Lie Fan also gives them a new weapon schematics he found, an artillery weapon that fires fire arrows named Hwacha which was made by the Koreans to fight against the Japanese expansion in the 15th century.

Lie Fan didn't want to introduce canons and muskets, at least in his era as then general personal strength would not be that important, and the chance of him dying would increase due to friendly fire or a misfire.

The hwacha can be put on fortresses and ships, and even in the future, he dreamed of putting these on the great walls of China. So they could halt the advance of the Mongols, and maybe even conquer them and eliminate Genghis Khan's birth tribe.

After returning from the test site, suddenly he received 2 pieces of news that shocked the land from the Oriole at Luoyang. Emperor Ling died, and Liu Bian Emperor Ling's eldest son was instilled on the throne by He Jin and his Faction as the Emperor named Emperor Shao.

The Eunuch's plan to put Liu Xie as the Emperor failed, Jian Shuo who was entrusted by Emperor Ling to put Liu Xie as the Emperor is now regrouping with the eunuchs.

The other news is, that before Emperor Ling's death a month ago, the Liang Province rebellion war had ended with the rebels becoming the victors. They were given a special position and controlled Liang Province with Ma Teng and Han Sui as the strongest warlord in the area.

Emperor Ling's death shocked Lie Fan, he thought that at least next year was the earliest time for Emperor Ling's death to happen. Seeing that it came faster than he predicted, Lie Fan called for all of his advisors and generals for a meeting at the Governor's Castle.
