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

The night was peaceful, and the starry sky was dotted with stars.

A campfire was lit in the large camp outside Boluo Valley.

Outside the central command tent, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu stood guard on the left and right sides of the tent entrance.

suddenly.

A loud bang came from the central command tent behind them.

boom!

boom!

Without a second thought, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu drew their swords and rushed into the camp.

"General!"

"General!"

All the guards around the camp immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the central command tent where Duan Yu was located.

However, just as the guards were about to rush into the tent, a deep and angry voice rang out from inside.

"Everyone, stand down."

The guards recognized Duan Yu's voice and stopped in their tracks, exchanging bewildered glances.

That sound just now...

Very unusual.

It exudes a chilling feeling.

The soldiers closest to the tent were all able-bodied men that Duan Yu had brought from the village.

From the very beginning, these young men followed Duan Yu and were extremely familiar with and in awe of him.

So long.

This was the first time I had ever felt Duan Yu so angry in his tent.

That sound just now.

Something was clearly blasted to pieces.

Inside the tent.

Sitting next to Duan Yu, Su He, who was seeing Duan Yu angry for the first time, was also quite frightened by him.

A table in front of him, as thick as a fist, had been smashed to pieces by Duan Yu's slap.

Everything on the table was overturned.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who rushed into the tent, stared blankly at the scene before them.

First, he glanced at Duan Yu, whose eyes seemed to want to devour him, and then he looked at the soldier who had just come to deliver the message.

Just now.

A soldier, who claimed to be from Ji County, arrived with a letter from his family there.

The soldier had only been inside for a short while when this scene unfolded.

Duan Yu glanced at Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu and said coldly, "Summon all the generals into the tent for a meeting."

Having never seen Duan Yu so angry, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu knew that something big must have happened.

So he didn't dare delay and hurriedly ran out of the camp to send soldiers to inform everyone.

Kneeling beside Duan Yu, Su He, dressed in a white dress, quickly moved closer to him after realizing what was happening.

He collected the wood shavings and the overturned wine vessel in front of Duan Yu.

"What happened, my husband?" Suhe asked softly. "Has something happened at home?"

"Home?" Duan Yu said with a cold gaze, "There's someone who doesn't want me to settle down in Liangzhou."

Duan Yu snatched the 'family letter' that Jia Xu had delivered.

Just now, the soldier who delivered the message said he was bringing a letter from Jia Xu's family, and Duan Yu was quite happy.

After all, it had been more than half a month since they had seen Dong Yi and Diao Chan.

Both women were pregnant, and Duan Yu naturally missed them.

Duan Yu was puzzled. If it was a family letter, how could it have been delivered by someone sent by Jia Xu?

Do not see do not know.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that this was not a family letter at all.

Duan Yu shook the so-called 'family letter' in his hand and said, "Yi'er and Chan'er have not yet arrived in Ji County. They were ambushed by the Qiang people in Shehu Valley."

"Fortunately, Li Jue and Guo Si discovered the unusual activity of the Qiang people."

"The three Qiang tribes, Dianling Qiang, Zhong Qiang, and Canlang Qiang, along with the Huangzhong Yicong, totaling five thousand soldiers, ambushed Yi'er and Chan'er in Shehu Valley."

"Ah?" Suhe's face paled upon hearing this.

On their journey from the Xiongnu, Duan Yu recounted many family matters concerning Dong Yi and Diao Chan.

This allowed Suhe to become familiar with Duan Yu's family.

From Duan Yu's words, Su He could also sense Duan Yu's love for the two women.

Of course, Suhe was not jealous or envious.

Suhe grew up in a noble family of the Xiongnu, and from a young age she knew that an excellent man could never belong to only one woman.

The more outstanding a man is, the more women he will be around.

On the contrary, after hearing Duan Yu talk about Diao Chan, she felt that Duan Yu was a man of affection and righteousness.

Despite having a good match like Dong Yi, Duan Yu did not abandon his old love, which naturally shows his loyalty and affection.

Suhe became increasingly convinced that her choice was right, and that what the Xiongnu priest had said when she was a child was true.

"Then... how are they?" Suhe asked cautiously.

Duan Yu shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

"Li Jue and Guo Si discovered the unusual movements of the Qiang people and informed Jia Xu, who then immediately sent people to Lintao and Ji County to seek help."

“My father-in-law, Dong Zhuo, has a great reputation in Lintao. He recruited three thousand soldiers from Lintao overnight to come and help us.”

"Ji County..."

When Duan Yu mentioned the name Ji County, his tone was clearly unfriendly.

"What's wrong?" Suhe asked, as if she had guessed something. "Didn't Ji County send reinforcements?"

Duan Yu nodded and said, "Not exactly."

"In his letter, Jia Xu said that Liang Hu, the governor of Liangzhou, was delaying the process by claiming that the matter was untrue, but he did not say that he would not send troops."

"On the contrary, Gai Xun, the chief clerk of Hanyang County, and Yang Fu, an official of Liangzhou, led several hundred private soldiers from their clans and families to provide assistance."

Suhe, kneeling beside Duan Yu, reached out and gently stroked Duan Yu's back, saying, "Since both of you are alright, then husband, please don't be angry."

To be honest, I'm angry.

Duan Yu was not angry with the Qiang people.

There's nothing to be angry about.

As Jia Xu stated in his letter, the person behind this scheme is named Beigong Boyu.

He knows this person.

The person who instigated the rebellion in Liangzhou after the Yellow Turban Rebellion was Beigong Boyu.

As for why Beigong Boyu, who instigated the rebellion in Jincheng County, suddenly went to Hanyang County and joined forces with three Qiang tribes to intercept his family, the reason remains unknown.

Because the old kings of the Dianling Qiang, the old kings of the Zhong Qiang, and the leader of the Canlang Qiang were all killed by Zhang Xiu's spear.

As for Beigong Boyu, he ran away as soon as he realized things were going badly.

Jia Xu is still investigating the reason for this.

What angered him was the attitude of Liang Hu, the governor of Liangzhou.

The matter is not true at the moment. There are too few county soldiers. County soldiers will be transferred from elsewhere.

Although Liang Hu's series of actions were in line with common sense and reality.

But this is clearly a bureaucratic excuse.

To put it bluntly, things need to go through procedures.

Act in accordance with the rules.

When he was appointed Prefect of Hanyang Commandery from Luoyang, Li Ru mentioned this person.

Liang Hu was born in Wushi County, Anding Prefecture.

The Liang family, from Wushi County, has produced many remarkable figures.

Empress Gonghuai Liang.

Empress Liang Na, the Empress Shunlie.

Empress Liang Nüying of Emperor Huan

General Liang Shang.

General Liang Yi was a member of the Wu clan.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty alone, there were three empresses and two great generals.

It can be said that the Liang family of Wushi County was a powerful and influential family with familial ties to the imperial family.

General Liang Ji reigned for over twenty years, reaching the pinnacle of power and influence both within and outside the court. All officials looked on with awe, and none dared to disobey his orders.

Even the emperor feared Liang Ji.

However, Liang Hu was not a main branch of Liang Yi, but a branch of the Liang family.

The heyday of the Liang family was long gone, and Liang Hu did not benefit much from it.

But the mere title of Liang family of Wushi County is enough to satisfy him.

Li Ru said that Liang Hu was a scholar by birth.

He enjoyed calligraphy and paintings, and had a good relationship with Cai Yong, Cai Bojie, and others.

He once studied at the Hongdu Academy, and even the current emperor greatly admired Liang Hu's calligraphy.

Because his family was from Liangzhou, he was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou.

Perhaps because of his scholarly background, Liang Hu's personality didn't seem like that of a person from Liangzhou.

Instead, they were more bookish and timid.

They lacked the forthright and valiant character of the people of Liangzhou, as well as the integrity and moral principles of renowned scholars and Confucian gentlemen.

Instead, they were afraid of being extremely slippery.

Fortunately, Liang Hu's term as governor of Liangzhou is about to end.

Duan Yu never intended to have any deep interaction with Liang Hu.

He governed his Liangzhou, and Liang Hu served as its governor.

It would be good if everyone could live in peace.

only......

Unexpectedly, before he even arrived in Liangzhou, Liang Hu had already given him a hard time.

Footsteps sounded outside the tent.

Tie Shitou lifted the tent flap and walked in, bowing and saying, "General, all the generals have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu suppressed his anger and nodded, saying, "Let everyone in."

After Duan Yu gave the order, the generals entered the tent one by one and stood in two rows.

Gao Shun, Chen Qing'an, Zhang Liao, Zhang Xun, Lü Bu, and Qu Yi, who just arrived at noon today and was appointed as a colonel by Duan Yu.

In addition, there were three Xiongnu commanders, each leading a thousand men, as well as Duan Yu's brother-in-law, Huchuquan.

Looking at the generals in the camp, Duan Yu took a deep breath.

He is no longer the small-time vagrant he once was in Wucun Township.

Look at the generals in this camp.

Things are different now than they used to be.

This time, the Dianling Qiang, Zhong Qiang, and Canlang Qiang ambushed his family members on the way. Although they failed and suffered heavy losses, this matter will definitely not end so easily.

If he were to simply let this go, how could he possibly have the face to serve as the Prefect of Hanyang?

As the governor of Hanyang Commandery, his family was ambushed shortly after he took office.

If he doesn't strike swiftly and decisively, the Qiang people of Liangzhou will think that Duan Yu is an easy target.

"Generals."

Duan Yu said thoughtfully.

All the generals in the tent immediately stood up straight, cupped their hands, and accepted the order.

"I just received a letter from home. My family was ambushed by the Dianling Qiang, Zhong Qiang, and Canlang Qiang tribes when they passed through Shehu Valley."

what?

For a moment, all the generals were stunned.

The first to speak out in anger was Chen Qing'an: "General, the Qiang tribe is so audacious, you should kill them as a warning to others!"

"Correct!"

Zhang Liao immediately echoed Chen Qing'an, saying, "We must kill them all!"

"My lord, I humbly request permission." Lü Bu stepped forward and said confidently, "Please grant me a thousand cavalrymen, and I will slaughter their entire tribe."

Qu Yi's eyes were also gleaming.

No sooner had they sought refuge than war broke out.

This is a perfect opportunity to make a name for oneself.

Qu Yi then stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I have considerable experience in fighting the Qiang people, and I am also willing to go into battle."

Duan Yu nodded slightly and said, "This is my first battle since entering Liang!"

"Since the Qiang people have come to us of their own accord, I have only one request."

"Kill all people from any of the three races, regardless of gender, age, or gender!"

“Sever all the heads and bring them back.”

"I will only give you ten days. If you cannot complete the mission..."

"Then I'll have to go myself."

Duan Yu's gaze was sharp.

All the generals stepped forward to make their guarantees.

"Gao Shun and Qu Yi obey orders."

Gao Shun and Qu Yi each stepped forward.

"You two will lead two thousand troops to the Dianling Qiang. Can you slaughter the remaining Dianling Qiang within ten days?"

Gao Shun and Qu Yi immediately replied, "We will obey the general's orders."

Duan Yu nodded and looked at Qu Yi, saying, "Qu Yi is from Liangzhou and is familiar with the Qiang people, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Qu Yi will lead the vanguard, and Gao Shun will be in the central army."

After saying that, Duan Yu looked at Zhang Liao.

"Zhang Liao and Lü Bu, step forward and receive the order."

Lu Bu, who was already itching for a fight, strode forward.

"Zhang Liao and Lü Bu, I will also give you two thousand cavalry. Within ten days, bring me the heads of all the Zhong Qiang people."

"Qing'an and Zhang Xun, you two will each lead two thousand cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the Canlang Qiang within ten days. There must be no failure!"

Duan Yu issued the order.

Duan Yu currently has about six thousand soldiers under his command, and now almost all of them have been mobilized.

Fortunately, Suhe brought three thousand Xiongnu loyal followers with her as part of her dowry.

Otherwise, we really wouldn't have enough troops.

"only!"

The generals stepped forward to receive their orders.
