I don't own Dynasty Warriors

Guan- Well first thank you for your review, now I want to answer your two reviews, one Liu Bei instructed Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei to treat Qian as if he were Liu Bei thus that is why you have the brother comment, now I am not going to use Qian to plan out how to beat Cao Cao, that will be done mostly by the character that is introduced in this chapter, but he will run domestic things, diplomat things, which he was amazing in the book, the military will be ran by someone else, kind of like how Zhuge ran it for Liu Bei. Now finally, Qian is easly one of my fav. Characters so that is why I used him plus in the book when Bei does run to Ru Nan Qian is there with Liu Pi.

WindsofEternity- Thanks, well I think the Sun v Sun chapters will be a bit of fun to write, I tend to like a lot of the minor characters like a Yu Jin, or a Sun Qian, or a Lu Su.

Sideways- Thanks I hope things work out for you; I must admit being a huge fan of Liu Bei it was odd to kill him off.

A/N- Guan Ping is going to be a major player in this story, and right now he is a minor character but I am using what he will look like in DW5, yep he is one of the new characters he looks kind of like Sanosuke from Kenshin. If you did hear the new characters for DW 5 are Guan Ping, Liu Shen's wife, Ling Tong, Pang De, and Cao Pi, and a lot of people have different looks. This is an ok chapter, the main point of it is just to show the characters getting used to Ru Nan, and the next chapter will be the first battle with Cao Cao's men. If you don't know who a character is just ask in a review, I will be happy to say who the character is.

Qian sat in the city court house, he had been there for just under three weeks, and yet he had gotten a lot more done the he thought he would. He was able to go thought the books, and find funds that had been just to the city, and also was able to find was to increase the protection of goods from the city, and for Ru Nan, a city that was already seen as a major trading spot, that was saying something. Qian though on the other had had grown in to a nervous wreck always wondering what he could do if Cao Cao decided to come down and crush him there. He knew he had no chance against Cao Cao, he was not a master of warfare, or a master of tactics.

Everyone knew Cao Cao was smart in the areas of war, and he had Guo Jia, who had proven at Guandu, just how great of a tactician he was. People where comparing the man to the greats in all of history. There was one thing thought that kept Cao Cao at bay, and it had nothing to do with him, rather, it had everything to do with Yuan Shao, and his children, even after the first victory, they still were a great danger to Cao Cao, and thus he could not move on Ru Nan, but then again weighted against the danger of the Yuan's Sun Qian could not look like anything to the great hero of Chaos.

"My Lord, all of the cases of the people are done, that was the last of them," Guan Yu said looking at Qian.

"Oh right, well thanks for you help today, you really know a lot when it comes to these things," Qian said looking out at nothing.

Qian then sighed, tired from the day of cases brought before him, he turned to look at Yu, who had also been there all day, it was amazing to him how he could stand there all day, and still not a bit tired.' It had to be true that he was really special', Qian thought to him self. He made sure that both Guan Yu and Zhange Fei did call him brother. That just because Liu Bei told them to treat him, as if he were Liu Bei did not mean that they had to call him brother as well.

Guan Yu, had spent every day in court watching for any danger that could becoming for Qian, he had convinced himself that he would not have Qian die on him, as Liu Bei had. Fei on the other hand had decided to spend his time in two places, one in the local tavern drinking it up, and the other was where ever Guan Yu was, trying to talk him into a sparing match. Liu Pi, spend his time trying to recruit people for the local army, with the aid of Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and the newly arrived Guan Ping. They seemed to have a decent amount of success, and the size of the militia was up to 4000.

Guan Ping was the son of Guan Yu, he had almost the same green armor. He had short spiky black hair with dark eyes, and carried a huge sword with a ring at the end of the handle; overall he looked like one heck of a warrior, and when he would spar the other warriors he would mostly win even against Zhou Cang, Pi, and Hua. He was truly the son of the great Guan Yu.

Qian got out of his chair, he was still lost in thought about what had taken place, still unsure if he was worthy of leading the greater men. When he got near the door, it opened from the outside, and a man appeared, he was wearing the white robe of a Taoist Priest, he was a slender man with long curly hair, and a face which showed him to be a young man.

"Hello, I have read great things about you, I believe that you have been chosen by the gods to do great things on this planet, please let me serve you, I believe I can help you with any problem you may have with people like Cao Cao," the priest said smiling.

"What is your name Priest, and what makes you thing my Lord would want you to help him," Guan you said defensively.

The priest just laughed, and the responded, "Well I think he will need all the help he can get, and I am sure a man of intelligence has heard of me, I am Xu Shu."

Guan Yu went slient when the priest said his name, Xu Shu was a name well known across China, he was considered to have one of the greatest minds ever, even up there with Guo Jia himself. Qian looked equally stunned at the priest, the idea that he would serve him, it was just great, and he could fell the shock still on his nervous at the introduction of the man. He shook them out, and said, "Of course, I think it would be a great honor to have you, with us."

"Well good, I have some plans for this town, I think Cao Cao will find it much harder then he thinks to defeat you," Shu said smiling.
