I don't own Dynasty Warriors or its characters

Sideways- Thanks for the review, though I do put Wei as the bad guys, I like a number of there generals.

Guan- Thanks for the review, well Chang Ban won't take place in the story, it just one of the things that changes, also like Jing won't be surrendered to Cao Cao, you will see why in this chapter, and Mao Jie as ok, he did get kicked out, and I really never liked what he did in general. As for the history, I have mixed thought as the subject, it all matter what topic.

WindsOfEternity- thanks for the review, and nope never seen it, heck never there was one, I based the battle after a combo of battle's Bei had with the Yellow Turbans, also I have a Li Dian Pushie, but no Yue Jin Pushie, can't have that, hands over Yue Jin Pushie, enjoy.

Sun Qian looked around at his current surroundings; he was in a small room, with bed, and a small wooden table, with three chairs, all of the rooms in the building which he had lived in for the past 6 months where all the same, in fact there were three of them, all connecting to each other. In the other two room where Guan Yu, and Xu Shu, his helper in the adventure he was involved in there in Jing. Sun Qian was there to form an alliance with Liu Biao, the controller of the Jing province. Xu Shu was there to help in all diplomatic plans, and to foil any scheme that came against Qian, and Guan Yu was there to be a bodyguard and to scare anyone with the thoughts of attacking Qian away.

While Shu was a given to come on the mission Guan Yu was not. For one reason, if both Guan Yu, and Xu Shu where gone, that would put command in Zhang Fei's hands, which though Fei was a great fighter, his mess ups the last time he had command negated his being the choice to lead Ru Nan. Then there was others, they where a thought, but in the end it was unsure, even if Guan Ping, the pick of the bunch was ready. Faith decided to intervene, and one of Xu Shu's colleges decided to come to town.

-Flashback-

Sun Qian was sitting at the end of a long day of work, wonder what he would do about the Guan Yu question, he was leaning on taking Guan Ping to be his bodyguard, and leaving Guan Yu in command of Ru Nan, but was unsure. At this point Xu Shu walked into the room, with a smile on his face.

"Lord, I bring you good news, my old friend as asked to join us; I want you to meet him," Xu Shu said waving in someone.

The man was well small young man with a large brimmed hat one; he walked a bit hunched over over, and was my no means what one would call a man of great statue. The man walked up and looked at Sun Qian.

"Well I heard that you are looking for some help, that you will take anyone to help you, will you take me in," the man said.

"We don't need this man, he does not show proper respect for you, you should have him killed right now," Fei said in an angrily tone looking at the small man.

Qian just ignored Fei, and asked, "Well how can you serve me if you do work for me."

"Well I am pretty good at a few things here and there, I am sure can help you at least in some way," he said.

At this statement Shu almost fell down laughing, at how much of an understatement that it truly is. Well he was still only 23, the man, Pang Tong had a mind that was at least equal to his own, he stopped looked up and said, "My lord, I have to tell you, that one like this man, Pang Tong does not come around much, his mind is has only a few equals, like maybe my self, and Guo Jia. You must take this man in to serve with us, I know he will be loyal in all means, I think you may have heard of the fledgling phoenix, well that man is this man in front of you."

"Well I see Shu, thinks highly of you, so I believe that you must be a man of great skill, it would be my honor to have someone like you to work for me, in fact I need to ask you something after this meeting," Qian said as a interesting idea past though his head.

"You have my thanks, I hope I can lead you to the seat of power where you belong," Tong replied.

After the meeting everyone left except for Tong, and Qian.

"Well what did you want to ask me," Tong asked.

"I was wondering, I have to go talk to Biao about some alliance, and I need someone here to govern the city, I wanted to know if you would be interested, it won't be easy I am sure Zhang Fei will cause some type of problems for you, but I am sure the Fledgling Phoenix could do something like this," Qian asked.

"Sure can, don't worry about Fei, I can keep his kind under control," Tong sad with a smile, which gave Qian more confidence in his choice.

-End of Flashback-

"So what do you think Liu Biao is going to tell me," Sun Qian said looking across the room at Xu Shu who was sitting at the table reading some report that had been sent by Pang Tong.

Shu put down the paper and looked at Qian, smiled, and said, "I think Biao is in a hard place, one, I am sure he does not like you, since you, but I know he knows that he needs you to defend against Cao Cao."

"So you think he will side with us," Qian interjected

"No, I think that he thinks that there is no hope, I can see it in his eyes, they also tell me he is near death, and he right now whould pick Liu Zong as he hier, this can't happen, Liu Zong has already told people that he will surrender to Cao Cao," Shu said before being interrupted again.

"Well, then I guess he won't side with us then," Qian said.

Xu Shu smiled, and said, "Well under normal conditions no, but I saw this when we first entered, and I have worked on something, I found a way for certain information to get to Biao , information that says Zong, and his mother are plotting to kill Biao, Biao now can't possible give the crown to the son who wants him dead. Also I found that Liu Qi has been of ill heath his whole life, and won't life to be that old."

Sun Qian just starred in amazement of the skills of Xu Shu, he knew he was good, but this good, no way he even has a clue that he had found a master when he meet him. He shook himself, and then asked, "So then what do you think he will do, if you don't mind me asking."

"Glad you asked, I predict," Shu said before being interrupted by the doors opening. When they opened a really tall and well built man walked in with a sour look on his face, as though he was had to shake the hand of his worst enemy.

"Lord Sun Qian, it seems that I am going to have to ask you a favor, for you see my heirs are both unworthily, I wonder being the heir to the Liu Bei who is indirectly related to myself, would you take control of Jing, I ask you this because I am getting to old to do so, and I don't have a hier to turn to which will live to long," Biao said without emotion, as if not want to say the words.

Qian looked over to Shu, and wondered just how the brilliant mind has found a way to take over a area without firing a arrow, a area that Sun Jian failed in taking. He then turned to Biao, and said, "It will be my honor to take over as the heir, I am sorry about the actions of Zong, and the illness that has fallen Qi , I find you to be a honorable man who has done a great job at ruling the area."

"Well, you will start your rule immediately, I wish not to live in the area anymore, and nothing you can do can change that, but good luck, you will need it," Biao said walking out the door.

"And that is what I was going to tell, you, I think you need to send Guan Yu back to Ru Nan, and tell everyone the information, we will solidify you position here," Shu said to Qian.

"That is a fine idea, I must think you, I would never of been able to get this far without you," Qian said.

"Well your welcome, I find it a honor to serve a honorable person as yourself, plus this proves to be a fun challenge indeed, one most never get to face," Shu said back smiling.
