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

Qiang Qu, standing at the foot of the mound, bowed in the direction of Chen Qing'an, Zhang Liao, and Lü Bu.

He then loudly proclaimed in broken Chinese, "I am Qiangqu, the Xiongnu Chanyu!"

"It is a pleasure to welcome friends from afar. Are you envoys from the Han Dynasty?"

Hearing Qiang Qu's words, Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao exchanged a glance and then nodded.

"Haha, friends from afar, welcome to the grassland."

"I have prepared freshly slaughtered cattle and sheep, as well as enthusiastic songs and dances and mare's milk wine, and I am waiting for the arrival of you envoys."

"Please come with me to the camp first," Qiangqu invited.

Chen Qing'an turned to look at Zhang Liao and said, "General's central army is still in the rear, and it will probably take a while before they arrive."

"Why don't we go ahead and find out the strength of the Xiongnu first, so that we can be prepared when the general arrives?"

Zhang Liao nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's go take a look first."

As they spoke, the two men spurred their horses and shook the reins.

With Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao making their move, Lü Bu naturally wouldn't stay put any longer.

So they spurred their horses and headed towards the Qiangqu Canal.

Soon, more than 300 riders arrived at the foot of the mound, just a few meters away from the Qiang Canal.

Lu Bu's dozen or so riders were not originally part of Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao's three hundred vanguard.

So more than ten people stood out and walked in front, just like a real general leading troops.

In addition, Lu Bu's physique and appearance, along with his eye-catching Hundred Flowers Battle Robe, made him extremely conspicuous in a crowd.

Qiangqu enthusiastically spurred his horse forward.

The centurions behind him also quickly followed and stood guard.

"Thank you for coming from afar, friends. You've had a long journey."

Qiang Qu first glanced at Zhang Liao and Chen Qing'an, then turned his gaze directly to Lü Bu.

"General, let me introduce myself. I am Qiangqu, the Chanyu of the Xiongnu."

"It's a pleasure to have you here."

Lu Bu looked at Qiang Qu, who was greeting him, with a completely bewildered expression.

Only after Qiangqu had finished speaking did he realize what was happening and mechanically nodded at Qiangqu.

Meanwhile, Qiang Qu glanced at Lü Bu and the warhorse beneath him, then clapped his hands with a smile.

Qiangqu clapped his hands.

A centurion behind him then led over a pure white warhorse.

The pure white warhorse was eight feet tall at the shoulder, and its entire body was white without a single stray hair.

Under the sunlight, it even reflects a shimmering white light.

As the warhorse trotted forward, a layer of white light shimmered across its body.

As the saying goes, anything under eight feet is considered a horse, while anything over eight feet is considered a dragon.

Warhorses with a shoulder height exceeding eight feet are collectively referred to as dragon steeds.

Gold is easy to obtain, but a fine steed is hard to find.

Even among the Xiongnu, who were known for producing fine horses, warhorses that were eight feet tall at the shoulders were rare.

Any small tribe that captures a warhorse with a shoulder height exceeding eight feet in the wilderness will receive a large reward as long as it hands it over.

However, if you don't hand it over, and someone finds out, it could still lead to your death.

When Lü Bu saw the white horse approaching, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

As the old saying goes: A good general assists a wise ruler, and a fine horse is a match for a hero.

How can a hero be without a good horse?

How can one be worthy of the title of hero without a fine horse?

If Lu Bu's warhorse were considered in the Central Plains, it would be regarded as a fine horse.

But Lü Bu was, after all, a minor county bandit officer with limited resources. If he wanted to acquire a truly fine horse, it would cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of coins.

Lu Bu wouldn't have that much money.

Therefore, the warhorse he rides now is nothing special.

That's why, when Lü Bu first saw Qiang Qu, he immediately took a liking to the warhorse beneath him.

When the white horse appeared, Lü Bu's eyes were once again drawn to it.

"General."

"You are the original guest."

"This warhorse is named Yulong."

“It was captured by my people from the distant western sea of ​​Heyun.”

"It is a dragon steed, one in ten thousand!" Qiangqu said proudly.

It seemed that he had heard Qiangqu's praise.

The warhorse named Yulong raised its hooves and let out a long neigh.

The long, snow-white mane on its neck flew about as the jade dragon stood upright, creating an extremely elegant effect.

It was like a white cloud floating in the sky.

The horseshoes, as large as bowls, are thick and powerful.

It was obvious from the back of that horse that it had never been saddled.

"This horse can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles at night, traversing mountains, rivers, and lakes as if walking on flat ground."

“The clan leaders have asked for it many times, but I have never given it to them.”

Qiangqu gently stroked the jade dragon's mane, calming it down.

After saying this, Qiangqu looked at Lü Bu, then raised his hands in a gesture of offering, saying, "Today I have the honor of meeting you, General. This horse is a gift, a token of my appreciation for our first meeting."

"Please accept this as a gift, General."

Lu Bu's expression seemed to freeze at this moment.

His mouth has already grown into an O shape.

Even Chen Qing'an and Zhang Liao found it strange.

What is Qiangqu Chanyu doing?

Why did they give Lü Bu a horse right away?

And what's more, it was such a fine horse that was given as a gift?

Just as the two were completely baffled, Lü Bu hurriedly dismounted from his warhorse and headed straight for Yulong.

His gaze seemed to have shut out everyone around him.

All they could see was the jade dragon before them.

Beside her, Princess Suhe, riding a chestnut horse behind Qiangqu, frowned, seemingly disappointed.

Lu Bu hurriedly took two steps to his warhorse Yulong's side, and then stroked Yulong's mane with great affection, as if he were stroking the long, beautiful hair of a courtesan.

Then he raised his head, looking at Qiangqu with disbelief in his eyes.

"This...this...this horse is a gift for me?" Lu Bu asked incredulously.

Qiangqu smiled and nodded: "Naturally, it is a gift prepared for the general to greet you."

"Why don't you go up and give it a try, General?" Qiangqu suggested.

"Good, good, good!" Lu Bu nodded repeatedly, his eyes somewhat brimming with excitement. "Good, good, good, I'll give it a try, I'll give it a try!"

Qiangqu Chanyu nodded to the guards behind him, who then brought over a saddle.

As the saddle was placed onto Yulong's horse.

Lu Bu, who was already impatient, mounted his horse and then shook the reins.

The next second, the pure white jade dragon shot out like a white streak of light.

fast!

Extremely fast!

Even Chen Qing'an, who was used to seeing Duan Yu's black jade unicorn beast, felt that it was very fast.

This clearly shows that even the black jade unicorn beast cannot compare to this warhorse.

Chen Qing'an was puzzled.

Did the Xiongnu already have such a large number of fine horses?

Such a fine horse is given to just anyone you meet.

What will the Xiongnu Chanyu present after he meets their general?

It's too late to say.

Lu Bu, riding the white jade dragon, had already galloped several miles away.

Even on horseback, Lü Bu didn't forget to show off his skills.

Sometimes he leaped off his warhorse, sometimes he tumbled on it.

He seemed quite happy.

This prompted Qiang Qu to clap and cheer, and he smiled at Zhang Liao and Chen Qing'an, saying, "I didn't expect your generals to be such outstanding horsemen."

Ok?

Chen Qingan and Zhang Liao were both taken aback.

Our general?

When did Lü Bu become our general?

Could it be?

Chen Qing'an: "......"

Zhang Liao: "......"

The two glanced at each other, and instantly saw a smile in each other's eyes.

They also understood why Qiangqu was so generous.

They immediately presented Lü Bu with such a magnificent steed.

So that's why...

It turns out that the Qiangqu had mistaken someone for someone else!

"Ha ha!"

Chen Qingan burst into laughter.

This laugh left Qiang Qu somewhat bewildered.

"What's wrong with this general?" Qiangqu Chanyu asked, puzzled. "Why is he laughing?"

Chen Qing'an glanced at Zhang Liao, who was also unable to suppress his laughter, then turned to Qiang Qu and said with a smile, "Qiang Qu Chanyu, the general you're talking about, it can't be him, can it?"

Chen Qing'an pointed at Lü Bu, who was frolicking around.

At this moment, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Xu, who were standing still admiring Lü Bu's horsemanship, also realized what was happening.

His expression suddenly turned extremely awkward.

"Qiangqu Chanyu, first of all, this person is not our general, but just a bandit chieftain from Jiuyuan County named Lü Bu. He is here to guide our general to Shoujiang City."

"Secondly, our general..."

Chen Qingan hadn't finished speaking.

A thunderous sound of hooves echoed behind them.

Qiangqu Chanyu, Princess Suhe, Chen Qing'an, and the others immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the mound behind them.

From behind the mound, a pure black warhorse leaped out lightly.

A majestic general, clad in black armor and wearing a black cloak, led the charge, wielding a halberd.

Behind them, thousands of chariots and horses rolled in, kicking up towering yellow dust, their momentum overwhelming!

The moment Duan Yu appeared, Princess Suhe's beautiful eyes were completely captivated.
