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

Duan Yu's gaze drifted towards the distance of Ji County.

The heavy hooves thundered like thunder as they galloped from all directions from the east gate of Yi County toward Ji County, raising dust that formed a yellow wall around the county.

In front of Ji County.

Besides generals like Li Jue and Guo Si, there were also Dong Yi and Diao Chan.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Duan Yu looked towards the distance of Ji County and said with a smile, "Governor Liang, the gift I prepared for you... has arrived."

Liang Hu first glanced at Duan Yu.

Then he looked into the distance.

From three directions outside the east gate of Ji County, three groups of cavalry, each numbering around two thousand, galloped wildly through the yellow sand.

The earth shook violently, and the sand beneath everyone's feet trembled slightly.

The first force to arrive from the east gate of Ji County was Lü Bu and Zhang Liao, riding their Jade Dragon warhorses and wielding their Fangtian halberds.

"These two..."

Li Jue and Guo Si, who were standing at the forefront of the generals, exchanged a glance.

Li Jue and Guo Si didn't recognize either of them.

“I heard that when he chased Wang Rou to the Xianbei last time, he met two members of the Zhang clan of Mayi in Yanmen County. That should be about right…” Guo Si said.

However, Guo Si had barely finished speaking when...

Another group of cavalry arrived from the north side of the east gate of Ji County.

The leaders were Gao Shun and Qu Yi.

Li Jue and Guo Si both knew Gao Shun, after all, he was an old friend of Duan Yu.

However, Li Jue and Guo Si were once again bewildered by the other man beside Gao Shun who was clearly a great general.

Why is there a new face here again?

By the time Chen Qingan and Zhang Xun appeared, the two were already a bit numb.

Three groups of cavalry.

Of the six generals, four were people they had never seen before.

"General... there are more and more capable people around you," Li Jue said with a sigh.

Guo Si quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, it hasn't been that long."

"When the young lady married the general, the general was accompanied by only a few villagers from the village."

"Now look at it..."

At this point, Li Jue felt a sense of crisis and said, "Old Guo, we are all close to the young lady."

"You and me, Wang Fang, Li Meng."

Guo Si nodded.

"You're looking at Gao Shun and the others," Li Ru said, gesturing with his lips. "Gao Shun, Chen Qing'an, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Liu Baitu, and the like..."

"They were all close to Madam Ren."

"Do you...do you understand what I mean?" Li Jue asked.

Guo Si nodded: "I understand, you mean establishing a legitimate heir in the future..."

Duan Yu is currently the Marquis of Duting, but he will certainly be more than just the Marquis of Duting in the future.

However, there is only one hereditary title.

There is a distinction between elder and younger, legitimate and illegitimate children.

Now that they have followed Duan Yu, there is no possibility that they will return to Dong Zhuo's side in the future.

In other words, whether one has a say in Duan Yu's group in the future will depend not only on ability, but also on the difference between being close to someone and being distant from them.

"Old Guo, the general has never taken us with him on these trips, whether it was to the Xiongnu, the Xianbei, back to Luoyang, or as an envoy to the Xiongnu."

“If this goes on for too long, we guys will probably be marginalized.”

"Now that General Lai has come to Liangzhou, which can be considered our hometown, we must make a good impression this time."

"Also, we need to provide more assistance to Boji and our hometown of Lintao."

Guo Si nodded upon hearing this, and said with a sudden realization, "Oh, I understand now. Is it because of this that you kept Boji's nephew, Zhang Xiu, here?"

Li Jue smiled and nodded in agreement: "This kid is capable. If he stays, it will give us more say in the future."

The two nodded knowingly.

While Li Jue and Guo Si were talking, three groups of nearly six thousand cavalrymen had already approached Ji County.

When Liang Hu saw these thousands of elite cavalry, his face turned pale.

However, when everyone saw clearly what was hanging on the saddle of the cavalry galloping towards Ji County, they all gasped in shock.

"Yishan, look!"

Gai Xun pointed to a string of round objects hanging on a cavalryman's saddle and stared wide-eyed.

"Heads!"

Yang Fu was startled, his eyes widening suddenly.

Rumble!

As the sound of hooves grew closer, the cavalry led by Lü Bu and others did not stop, but instead drew an arc in front of the east gate of Ji County.

As the cavalry turned.

The soldiers on horseback tossed strings of human heads hanging from their saddles high into the air.

The heads, tied together with their hair, look like a string of candied hawthorns.

After tracing an arc in mid-air, it landed on the ground and rolled.

Upon witnessing this scene, Liang Hu was immediately terrified, his face turning pale, and he quickly retreated.

"this......"

"this......"

With trembling lips, Liang Hu pointed to the human head rolling on the ground.

Six thousand cavalrymen drew a huge arc, throwing out all the heads tied to their saddles.

It looked like a rain of heads was falling from the sky.

Duan Yu covered the eyes of Dong Yi and Diao Chan with his hands.

"Let's escort the two ladies to their car and back first."

Duan Yu gave the order.

The servants, who were standing beside the carriage and were frightened, quickly helped Dong Yi and Diao Chan onto the carriage.

Dressed in a black robe, Jia Xu tucked his hands into his sleeves and shrank his neck.

“I’m going back too, I’m a coward.”

As he spoke, Jia Xu turned around.

However, he was blocked by Liu Baitu behind him.

Liu Baitu frowned.

Seeing Liu Baitu frown, Jia Xu assumed that Liu Baitu was also afraid.

"What, you're afraid too?" Jia Xu smiled.

Liu Baitu shook his head and said, "No, I just feel it's a pity. If I had brought the body back..."

"stop!"

With a wave of his hand, Jia Xu quickly walked past Liu Baitu as if fleeing.

More than 10,000 heads were thrown outside the east gate of Ji County after 6,000 cavalrymen swept past.

Even the soldiers on the walls of Ji County were terrified when they saw this scene.

Needless to say, Liang Hu was an even bigger fish in the sea.

If it weren't for the servants supporting him, he would probably have collapsed to the ground.

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Chen Qing'an, and Zhang Xun rode up to Duan Yu and then dismounted.

Although the armor of the six men was covered with dust and dried blood scabs, each of them had extremely bright eyes.

"Lord."

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao stepped forward and said simultaneously:

"We have fulfilled our mission as lords, and defeated the Zhongqiang tribe at Rongqiu, beheading a total of 4,300 Zhongqiang bandits."

Duan Yu smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

Following closely behind were Gao Shun and Qu Yi.

Gao Shun was not good with words, so Qu Yi stepped forward on his behalf and reported: "General, this humble general and General Gao ambushed and killed the Dianling Qiang tribe at Qinting in Long County, beheading 4,600 people."

Finally, Chen Qingan and Zhang Xun stepped forward.

"General, Wen Ze and I launched a surprise attack on the Canlang Qiang tribe at Bazhong Mountain, beheading a total of 5,100 people!"

hiss!

Gasps of astonishment emanated from the direction of Li Jue, Guo Si, and the others.

Gai Xun, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, and a host of officials from Ji County were all dumbfounded when they heard these words.

So that's why...

Is this the "grand gift" Duan Yu was referring to?

More than 10,000 heads of Qiang ethnic groups?

this......

All the officials in Ji County, both high and low, had heard about the robbery of Duan Yu's family by the Qiang tribe on their way to Ji County.

But it's unclear which specific tribes were responsible for the raids.

Few people know what the process was like.

Only Gai Xun and Yang Fu had a general understanding of the situation.

did not expect......

Duan Yu was not in Hanyang County, yet he already knew so much about it.

Moreover, Duan Yu's methods of revenge were truly...too extreme.

More than 10,000 heads were piled up outside Ji County, forming a small mountain.

They built a mound of Jingguan (a type of ancient Chinese statue).

After praising the generals, Duan Yu turned to Liang Hu, who was so frightened that he was pale and needed his attendants to support him to stand.

"Prefect Liang," Duan Yu said with a cold smile, "I wonder if Prefect Liang is satisfied with this gift from me?"

"I had heard about this before I took office."

“The Qiang infestation in Liangzhou was severe. Even in Hanyang County, Qiang tribes frequently caused trouble and harassed the county seat.”

"This gift... shall be considered a generous present to Governor Liang on my first day in office."

"When I report to the court, I will include Governor Liang's achievements in the report."

Liang Hu's face was deathly pale. He pointed to the mound of human heads in the distance, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

After holding his breath for a couple of seconds, Liang Hu suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Oh no! The governor has fainted from fright!"

"Quickly, quickly send the governor back to the city for treatment."

"Quick!"

When Liang Hu suddenly fainted, his attendants and officials were thrown into chaos.

Upon seeing this scene, Duan Yu, who was standing still, immediately threw his head back and burst into laughter.

"It seems that Governor Liang couldn't handle such a grand gift and fainted from excitement."

As soon as Duan Yu spoke, the generals around him burst into laughter.

This scene was witnessed by Gai Xun, Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, and other local powerful figures from Hanyang County, as well as a group of officials of all ranks from Ji County.

But not one of them dared to say a word.

Look at the arrogant and fierce soldiers behind Duan Yu.

In the Battle of Shehu Valley, Beigong Boyu, who was well prepared, and the old king of Dianling Qiang, among others, were almost completely annihilated by generals such as Li Jue and Guo Si.

That wasn't the end of it. Duan Yu went even further this time, launching a surprise attack and capturing the strongholds of three tribes.

This meant that the three tribes would not be wiped out.

But it must have been severely weakened.

And this matter will surely spread throughout Liangzhou very soon.

That will likely cause a great stir.

Gai Xun's expression was somewhat solemn.

It remains to be seen what kind of repercussions Duan Yu's assertion of authority will bring.

Here, Liang Hu was seen off.

Duan Yu's gaze fell on Gai Xun, Yang Fu, and Jiang Xu.

Jia Xu mentioned three people in his letter.

They were ambushed, and Gai Xun ordered Yang Fu and others to disregard Liang Hu's objections and lead their private soldiers and servants to their rescue.

Although I couldn't help, the sentiment and attitude speak for themselves.

"Which one of you is Gai Yuangu?" Duan Yu asked, looking at Gai Xun and the others.

Upon hearing this, Gai Xun immediately stepped forward.

"Your Excellency, my name is Gai Xun, courtesy name Yuangu."

"This is Yang Fu, courtesy name Yishan."

"This is Jiang Xu..."

Gai Xun stepped forward and introduced Yang Fu and Jiang Xu to Duan Yu.

Duan Yu nodded with a smile.

Then he clapped his hands.

The servants who were prepared behind him immediately led out three fine horses.

They were also carrying two wooden boxes.

Duan Yu looked at the three men and said with a smile, "Wenhe wrote that the three of you went to great lengths to rescue my family from Shehu Valley."

"Here is a small gift, nothing more."

Gai Xun and the others quickly declined.

"Lord Duan, you are too kind. We...we were not of any help."

“Yes,” Yang Fu also declined repeatedly, “We have not done anything to deserve such a reward, so how can we accept the gifts from the Prefect?”

"Besides, this is our job."

Duan Yu shook his head slightly, then replied, "Not everyone is my friend, some people..."

Looking in the direction where Liang Hu was being carried away, he said, "Some people don't even deserve to be my friends."

After speaking, Duan Yu stepped forward, smiled and nodded at the three of them, and said:

"I am hosting a banquet at my residence tonight, and I urge you all to attend."
