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

That night.

The Yellow Turban rebels outside Dong'e City have been largely quelled.

Except for a few who escaped, the rest have surrendered.

Lü Bu and Zhang Xiu each led two thousand cavalry and detained all the surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers in the Yellow Turban camp outside Dong'e City.

We definitely can't kill them all.

Although these were all Yellow Turban rebels, they were all Han Chinese.

Duan Yu couldn't bring himself to order their massacre.

Not to mention that the vast majority of these so-called rebel armies were refugees and civilians who were forced into this situation in order to survive.

But this is Yanzhou, and it is obviously impossible to relocate these rebel troops to Liangzhou.

Therefore, they could only be detained on the spot, awaiting orders from the imperial court for unified disposal.

Outside Dong'e City, countless torches and flames formed a long line.

Those who had previously fled the city all returned to the city.

The firelight almost illuminated the entire city of Dong'e.

After dealing with the Yellow Turban army outside the city, Duan Yu led a thousand cavalrymen into the city.

Having marched a long distance from Luoyang, both soldiers and their horses needed rest after such a long journey. Although each soldier rode two horses, the long distance required both soldiers and horses to rest.

...........

Outside the Dong'e County government building at night.

Xue Fang, along with a group of officials from Dong'e County, Cheng Li, and some local gentry and minor nobles, were walking towards the main hall of the government office.

The expressions on the faces of the group of more than ten people varied.

There was curiosity, but also trepidation.

Although Dong'e County was captured by the Yellow Turban Army because Wang Du opened the city gates and surrendered.

However, if the matter were to be investigated thoroughly, the officials of Dong'e County would also find it difficult to escape the blame for retreating without a fight.

Therefore, both Xue Fang and the officials of Dong'e County were somewhat uneasy.

These officials were even more frightened after learning that the visitor was Duan Yu.

Duan Yu was renowned for his military prowess.

But besides his military prowess, Duan Yu had another remarkable achievement.

That was from the moment Duan Yu entered officialdom; along the way, Duan Yu had already killed many Han Dynasty officials.

Anyone who knows about Duan Yu's early career knows that the first person he killed was the magistrate of Jinyang County.

The second was Wang Rou, the prefect of Yanmen Commandery, and the third was Wang Ze, the prefect of Dai Commandery.

The fourth is Liang Hu, the governor of Liangzhou.

Of course, this also includes Wang Yun from back then.

This shows that Duan Yu was not only skilled at killing enemies.

The methods for eliminating colleagues are equally ruthless.

That's why the officials in Dong'e County were afraid.

"Zhongde".

As Xue Fang walked toward the main hall of the government office, he glanced behind him and said, "Zhongde, you're a shrewd strategist. You'll have to put in a good word for us later."

"If General Duan... if General Duan were to cause trouble, I'm afraid all the officials in this county would be in trouble."

“We’re from the same hometown, Zhongde can’t just ignore us,” Xue Fang said with a bitter face.

Cheng Li frowned and said, "If I had known this would happen, I would not have been in such a passive position if I had listened to my advice back then."

"You'd better pray for yourself."

Xue Fang: "......."

Cheng Li was known in Dong'e County for his stubborn and irritable personality, and for his frequent clashes with others.

If Xue Fang hadn't been so terrified, he wouldn't have sought help from Cheng Li.

With trepidation, Xue Fang and his fellow county officials entered the county government hall.

The first thing that catches the eye is the lit candlelight.

There was also a general whose mere presence made Xue Fang and his group feel as if they were sitting on a mountain.

I have long heard of Duan Yu's name.

However, no one in Dong'e County had ever seen Duan Yu.

They had heard of Duan Yu's countless killings, but when they first saw him and felt the extremely strong killing aura emanating from him, all the officials couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Duan Yu, sitting in the main seat of the hall, remained silent.

He was holding a wine bowl in his hand.

The bright red cloak behind him fell to the ground, like a piece of calligraphy stained with blood.

The gold threads inlaid on his black armor reflected the firelight.

Gulu.

Xue Fang swallowed hard, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "Xue Fang, the magistrate of Dong'e County, greets General Duan."

As Xue Fang bowed, all the officials, big and small, in Dong'e County, as well as the local gentry, immediately introduced themselves, introduced their families, and their official titles, and bowed to Duan Yu.

Only one person stood still, motionless.

Cheng Li.

When Xue Fang saw that Cheng Li was motionless, he was immediately terrified.

His expression was one of extreme terror.

Xue Fang quickly reached out to tug at Cheng Li's sleeve.

Brother, it's one thing for you to be so fierce in Dong'e County, but why are you still fierce in front of this person?

However, Cheng Li remained motionless, as if he felt nothing at all.

Duan Yu's gaze immediately focused on Cheng Li.

Xue Fang was almost in tears.

"Big brother... don't hold on any longer, we need to know when to stop."

"Fine, I won't let you plead for me anymore."

"Don't trick me!"

On the other side, Duan Yu watched Cheng Li with great interest.

From the moment Cheng Yu entered, Duan Yu was certain that this was Cheng Yu.

No, we can't call him Cheng Yu yet.

Cheng Yu changed his name when Cao Cao began recruiting him in large numbers.

He used to be called Cheng Li.

He was over eight feet tall, with a robust physique, a beautiful beard, a fierce and ruthless personality, and often clashed with others.

The phrase "unyielding and stubborn" describes Cheng Yuning as unyielding and resolute, and someone who will never easily change his mind once he has made up his mind.

It's easy to offend people...

Cheng Yu has a somewhat eccentric personality; he is aloof and doesn't get along with most people, so he doesn't have many friends.

But it was precisely because of this personality that Cheng Yu was favored by Cao Cao.

He has a strong and unruly personality and often clashes with others.

Such a minister will not form cliques, nor will he resort to any means to flatter and fawn in order to get promoted.

This kind of minister is favored by any ruler.

"presumptuous!"

Standing behind Duan Yu, Tie Shitou roared angrily, his brows furrowed as he coldly said, "Who are you? Why do you not bow to my lord!"

Upon hearing Tie Shitou's stern shout, Xue Fang and the others were almost so frightened that they knelt down and hurriedly tried to explain for Cheng Yu.

"The...the general..."

"No need." Duan Yu raised his hand to interrupt Tie Shitou's harsh shout and Xue Fang's explanation.

Then he stood up from his seat.

Cheng Yu was already quite tall.

However, when Duan Yu stood up from his seat...

The overwhelming sense of oppression that came rushing towards him shocked Cheng Yu.

Duan Yu was not only tall, but also extremely robust.

Coupled with that suit of armor, he looked almost like a humanoid beast.

Xue Fang and the officials of Dong'e County subconsciously took a small step back.

A tiger general of the world, terrifying indeed!

Duan Yu stepped forward and approached Cheng Yu.

The two looked at each other.

Duan Yu smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you curious why I came to Dong'e County instead of Yingchuan?"

Cheng Yu's eyes widened immediately.

Isn't this what he discussed with Xue Fang that afternoon?

However, what Duan Yu said the next second left Cheng Yu completely dumbfounded and dizzy.

"I dreamt of a man holding up the sun with both hands."

"The fingerprint in my dream, he is in Dong'e County."

"Moreover, I saw his appearance in my dream, and he looked exactly like you!"
