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

"My lord, the bandits of Dongjun have been executed. Are you now heading to Yingchuan?" Cheng Yu asked.

Duan Yu nodded.

That's right, we're heading to Yingchuan next.

Yingchuan is where the grand drama truly begins.

This trip to Dongjun was very fruitful.

They secured the first victory in the battle against the Yellow Turbans, killing their leader Bu Si and capturing Wang Du.

With Wang Du by his side, he essentially had leverage against Wang Yun.

All we need to do is eliminate Wang Yun directly.

The remaining two, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, were sufficient for him and would not hinder him further.

What kind of person is Xue Fang?

Duan Yu looked at Cheng Yu and said, "After resting tonight, we need to head to Yingchuan as soon as possible tomorrow."

"I intend to hand over the Yellow Turban rebels here to Xue Fang to deal with."

Cheng Yu frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "Xue Fang... is somewhat lacking in handling affairs. I am worried that Xue Fang will not be able to handle these tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels."

"If chaos breaks out, I'm afraid it will once again bring disaster to Dongjun."

"Without the Lord's troops to suppress them, the troops in Dongjun are insufficient and probably not enough to deter so many bandits."

Duan Yu thought about it and felt that Cheng Yu's words made some sense.

"Then, in Zhongde's opinion, how should we deal with these tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels?" Duan Yu asked Cheng Yu.

A cold glint flashed in Cheng Yu's eyes.

Duan Yu's heart skipped a beat.

I thought to myself, could it be that the number one "human" chef of the Eastern Han Dynasty is about to appear?

"My lord, surely the army is short of rations right now?" Cheng Yu suddenly asked.

Duan Yu: "Uh... Zhongde, the central army is not short of military rations for the time being."

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Even if you, my lord, have enough military rations, you still cannot supply these tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels."

"And Dongjun is now in ruins and has no food supplies. If there is no food, these bandits will inevitably rebel again."

"actually......"

Duan Yu quickly interrupted Cheng Yu.

This thing...

"Zhongde, actually I have a plan..."

We can't let this guy say anything more.

If things continue like this, and it turns out that these tens of thousands of people are really going to be turned into military rations, should he accept it or not?

"That's right, Zhongde. I do have plans in Jizhou, but I can't focus on Jizhou right now."

Duan Yu said, "I am not satisfied with what Zhongde said. The Yellow Turban leader, the Great Teacher Zhang Jiao, is now under my control."

"what?"

Cheng Yu froze on the spot.

His eyes were wide open.

Duan Yu nodded and said, "It's true. My followers in Ji Province saved Zhang Jiao by chance."

"Meanwhile, some changes have occurred in the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Ji Province. Now, my men are lurking around Zhang Jiao, and it can almost be said that they have Zhang Jiao under their control."

"Jizhou is a big strategic area, but we are currently lacking sufficient manpower."

“I have an idea, Zhongde, what do you think?”

Cheng Yu nodded quickly.

Duan Yu summoned Tie Shitou and brought the map.

Duan Yu pointed to the map of Yanzhou and said, "Yanzhou is adjacent to Jizhou. Going north from Dong'e, you will reach Qinghe Kingdom, Anping Kingdom, and other places."

“Now the Yellow Turban Army is rampant in these places, almost everywhere.”

"And my troops are currently in Anping Kingdom."

My idea is...

Duan Yu looked at Cheng Yu and said, "We're going to put on a show together, and this show will also require Xue Fang."

"I will lead troops out of Dong'e County tomorrow. Zhongde will directly impersonate the Yellow Turban leader and have Xue Fang cooperate in releasing tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels from Dong'e County."

"Zhongde led this Yellow Turban rebel army north to Jizhou, heading to Anping Kingdom to join my troops."

Cheng Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Does Your Excellency mean... that I should impersonate a leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, gather the Yellow Turban rebels in Ji Province, and then go to Zhang Jiao's side to completely control him?"

"Your Majesty's plan...this plan is brilliant!" Cheng Yu's expression was quite interesting.

Duan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

This was just something he came up with on a whim.

He will need the population welfare of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou in the future.

To relocate refugees from Jizhou to Liang, one must first have a good reputation.

If he were to actually raise the butcher's knife, how could the Yellow Turban rebels and those refugees who would be quelled in the future be willing to join Liang?

Leaving these Yellow Turban soldiers to fend for themselves in Dongjun is not a solution either.

Dongjun is adjacent to Jizhou, unlike the Yingchuan and Runan areas.

What if Cheng Yu, who is good at interpersonal relationships, really does something shocking?

The plan to relocate people to Liang may be doomed.

His decision to come from Liangzhou to suppress the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a losing proposition.

They contributed manpower, effort, and money, but ultimately received nothing in return.

Relocating the Yellow Turban Army to Liang is a major strategy, and we cannot discuss it with Cheng Yu for the time being.

However, sending Cheng Yu to Ji Province to work with Jia Xu, Liu Baitu, and Jia Dong to establish a presence there is still a good idea.

If Cheng Yu could really gather the Yellow Turban rebels and bring them to Zhang Jiao's side.

That would be tantamount to completely controlling Zhang Jiao.

Cheng Yu has this advantage, since he is not yet well-known.

You can just lie about someone's name or background.

"Zhongde thinks it's alright?" Duan Yu asked, looking at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu nodded repeatedly: "Your strategy is ten times better than mine!"

Duan Yu dared not admit it.

I thought to myself, "Isn't this all because you forced me to do this?"

"Okay, if that's the case, then it's settled."

Then, Duan Yu clapped his hands.

Two men dressed in black robes emerged from behind the screen behind Duan Yu.

The two people, a man and a woman, were both wrapped in black robes and wore black hats, making it difficult to see their faces clearly.

“Zhongde, keep these two with you. They have a way to contact my followers in Jizhou so that you can make contact.”

"Furthermore, I have ordered my generals Zhang Xiu and Lü Bu to join you, along with two thousand of your troops, to suppress the surrendered Yellow Turban rebels."

"Would you like anything else?"

Cheng Yu quickly shook his head.

Then he stood up and bowed respectfully to Duan Yu: "What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve such trust from you, my lord? I will dedicate myself to your service until my dying breath!"

...........

Early the next morning.

Duan Yu then led Lü Bu and three thousand cavalrymen away from Dong'e County.

As for what to do next, Duan Yu has handed it all over to Cheng Yu to handle, and Xue Fang and the others will obediently cooperate once they receive the orders.

Next, Duan Yu needed to deal with matters concerning Yingchuan.

..........

Yingchuan.

Changshe.

More than half a month has passed since Changshe was besieged by Bo Cai's army.

At this moment, the entire Changshe was deathly still.

Morale was low and supplies were scarce.

Every day, large numbers of soldiers deserted.

Huangfu Song said he had no solution to this.

Outside Changshe City, Bo Cai led more than 100,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to surround Changshe on all sides, but did not attack. His intention was clear: to take Changshe without losing a single soldier.

At this moment, inside the county government hall in the city.

Huangfu Song, with a furrowed brow and a full beard, sat in the main seat.

The high spirits he had when he was appointed Left General of the Central Army in Luoyang more than a month ago are long gone.

Fu Xie, the military commander, and a young man sat down on either side of Huangfu Song.

All three of them looked worried.

"Report!"

Outside the hall, a soldier hurriedly walked into the hall, a happy look on his face.

"Reporting to the general, the soldiers on the city wall have just received a letter shot from outside the city."

"It's the signature of the Right Lieutenant General!"

Upon hearing the words "Right General of the Central Army," Huangfu Song's eyes immediately lit up.

"Quickly, bring it here!"
