Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

"Takayanagi."

"Wang Rou went to Gaoliu."

Chen Pingwu said urgently.

He looked as if he was afraid that if he spoke too late, the sharp knife in front of him would fall on him.

Daijun, Gaoliu.

Duan Yu's gaze sharpened.

"I understand!" Zhang Xun, who was not far away, suddenly woke up and said, "When we set off from Yin Guan, Wang Rou led about a hundred carriages."

"They said the goods were to be transported to Gaoliu County in Dai Prefecture."

"When we were at Pingcheng Pass, those hundred or so carts of goods headed towards Dai County from the direction of the Sanggan River."

“It must have been around that time,” Zhang Xun said through gritted teeth.

Duan Yu turned to look at Chen Pingwu.

Chen Pingwu nodded: "Yes...yes."

“Wang Rou had already hidden himself in the carriage procession at Pingcheng Pass and assigned someone to impersonate him and head north.”

Chen Pingwu said with his head down, "The reason I killed them was because I didn't want to expose my tracks, so that you would think... think that he went to the grasslands from the southern desert."

"Actually...actually, Wang Rou was going to the Xianbei."

Duan Yu understood what was going on.

After receiving the news at the Yin Pavilion, Wang Rou immediately fled.

But Wang Rou couldn't let go of the wealth she had accumulated over the years.

So they came up with this solution.

Under the pretext of scouting the border and transporting goods, he led three hundred cavalrymen.

Wang Rou also has a younger brother, Wang Ze.

He was the governor of Dai Commandery.

Following the Sanggan River from Yanmen County will take you directly to Gaoliu in Dai County.

So Wang Rou disguised herself at Pingcheng Pass and infiltrated a convoy transporting goods, heading directly to Gaoliu in Dai County.

They also arranged for Chen Pingwu to continue heading north with a body double.

The main purpose is to attract attention.

"What's going on with these Xiongnu people?" Duan Yu continued to ask.

"It's Wang Rou."

Chen Pingwu continued, "It was Wang Rou who sent a message to Qiangqu, the Xiongnu Chanyu, before he set off, requesting that Qiangqu ambush them in the Daqing Mountains."

Zhang Xun, standing to the side, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

Wang Rou was willing to send three hundred men to their deaths in order to save her own life.

Can be imagined.

Without Duan Yu's support.

Then, these three hundred men will probably perish at the foot of Daqingshan Mountain.

And it's likely that even the body will never be found.

The Huns would bury their bodies and then erase all traces.

It's easy to imagine what would have happened if Wang Rou hadn't been caught.

Then their whereabouts will remain undiscovered for a day.

Even if Wang Rou is never caught, their whereabouts will never be known.

A Han cavalry force of three hundred men would likely be branded as a mysterious envoy and disappear from the world forever.

The relatives of these three hundred people, however, have no idea of ​​the truth.

So cruel!

This explains why Chen Pingwu ordered Meng Ji to be shot.

Wang Rou is hateful.

But the person who tipped off Wang Rou was equally despicable.

Duan Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who tipped off Wang Rou?"

Duan Yu knew from the beginning that someone would inform Wang Rou.

But there's no way to defend against this kind of thing.

With so many gentry families in Jinyang, not even Dong Zhuo could silence them, let alone him.

The same principle applies not only to Dong Zhuo, but also to the emperor himself.

The entanglements of interests among the aristocratic families were very complex.

These local gentry families have engaged in intermarriage and exchanges of benefits for centuries.

As for national sentiments, treason, and the like... they simply don't exist in this era.

Family interests come first.

The Han Dynasty didn't belong to the whole country; it belonged to the Liu family.

Liu is just a family, a large family.

Moreover, this home could be replaced at any time.

The slogans about selling out the country and the actual act of selling out the country are completely different things.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Duan Yu knew that someone would inform Wang Rou.

As for blocking information, let alone key city passes and major roads.

Those guarding the key passes and passes were all members of the gentry.

If it weren't for the matter of Zhang Liao at Loufan Pass...

To get past Loufan Pass, the first hurdle is getting past Wang Rou's nephew, Wang Han.

Two or three people can be used to tip off someone, and they can bypass the city gates.

But it wouldn't be right for Duan Yu to lead a large army out.

If the army hadn't been divided into front and rear armies and instead set off together as a whole, the speed would have been even slower.

If Wang Rou had reacted quickly enough, a letter would have reached Wang Han, leading to the sealing of Loufan Pass.

Even with Dong Zhuo's dismissal document, Duan Yu shouldn't expect to get through Loufan Pass easily.

If the army had taken a detour, Wang Rou might have disappeared long ago.

“It’s the Wang family,” Chen Pingwu said, bowing his head.

Wang!

Duan Yu's gaze sharpened.

The Wang family member mentioned by Chen Pingwu is not the same as Wang Rou's.

After capturing Wang Ji and obtaining his confession, which led to the discovery of letters between Wang Rou and the Xiongnu and Xianbei, he had already ordered the arrest of all members of the Wang clan in Taiyuan.

"The Wang family of Qi County?" Duan Yu asked, squinting.

Chen Pingwu shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"When that person came, he only had a token with the character 'king' on it. I can only confirm that he was from Taiyuan, but I can't confirm who sent him."

From Chen Pingwu's eyes, Duan Yu could be fairly certain that Chen Pingwu was not lying.

At this point, Chen Pingwu had absolutely no reason to lie.

Apart from Wang Rou's Wang family.

That leaves only the Wang family of Qixian.

Wang Gai.

It's most likely Wang Gai.

“I…I have a token in my possession, which was brought by that person.”

“After the messenger delivered the message, Wang Rou ordered me to dispose of it. I killed the man and buried him, but I kept the token,” Chen Pingwu said.

Tie Shitou, who was standing behind Duan Yu, stepped forward and took a token from Chen Pingwu's arms, who had severed tendons in his hands and feet and could no longer move.

Duan Yu glanced at the token.

There is indeed a "王" (king) character on it.

Fortunately, Chen Pingwu had kept the token.

This thing might come in handy in the future.

If it really was Wang Gai who delivered the message, then this token is Wang Gai's death warrant.

After putting the token away, Duan Yu stood up.

We now know where Wang Rou is.

The rest is simple.

Wang Rou's trip to the Xianbei was clearly not intended to hide among them.

They probably had to detour through the Xianbei to reach Liaodong.

Since he was fleeing, there was nowhere for him to stay, whether in Youzhou or Jizhou.

As for the Xianbei, that's even more impossible.

If the brothers Wang Rou and Wang Ze were still the governors of Yanmen Commandery and Dai Commandery, they would still be of value to the Xianbei.

But they are not now.

Moreover, this news cannot be kept secret for long.

If you turn back here and go to Pingcheng Pass, and then head towards Dai County via the Sanggan River, you will definitely be blocked by Wang Ze, who is prepared in advance.

Since he wants to leave for the Xianbei, then let the Xianbei keep an eye on him.

"Pass the word down: start a fire and cook a meal immediately. Rest for two hours, then set off," Duan Yu ordered.

Wang Rou and Wang Gai, neither of them can be let go.

Even if it means chasing the culprit thousands of miles away, we will spare no effort!
