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

"General."

"General."

Duan Yu dismounted from the Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast, and the Liangzhou soldiers around him all saluted him.

Cao Cao, Qu Yi, Gao Shun, and several others came to Duan Yu's horse.

"Ziyi..."

"My lord, I am guilty and beg you to punish me."

Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Qu Yi stepped forward and knelt on one knee in front of Duan Yu.

Duan Yu was taken aback.

His gaze fell on Gao Shun.

Gao Shun also stepped forward and bowed his head, saying, "My lord, this humble general has failed to complete your mission."

Ok?

"Bo Cai escaped?" Duan Yu asked curiously.

It shouldn't be.

He walked all the way from the direction of Changshe, where he saw the defeated Yellow Turban army everywhere.

There were obvious signs of a major battle at Chosha.

The direction in which the Yellow Turban army routed its retreat was exactly as he had predicted.

Gao Shun and Qu Yi led 5,000 troops, plus Cao Cao's 1,000 soldiers, totaling 6,000 men.

With 6,000 men attacking while the enemy was crossing the river, how could Bo Cai possibly escape when he was caught off guard?

“Ziyi, Bo Cai didn’t escape, it’s just… there was a slight mishap along the way. This is no one’s fault but Qu Yi and Gao Shun.”

Cao Cao sighed and then recounted the whole story in detail.

When Cao Cao mentioned that Zhu Jun had brushed past them and made provocative and humiliating remarks, Qu Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists and trembled all over.

Duan Yu listened expressionlessly as Cao Cao recounted the events in detail.

"So it seems that Sun Jian took the credit first."

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Duan Yu said softly.

Cao Cao nodded: "That's right. Bo Cai had already committed suicide at that time, but before he died, he asked his subordinates to throw his head into the river. It was Cheng Pu, one of Sun Jian's men, who snatched Bo Cai's head from the water."

"At that time, General Qu Yi tried his best to argue, but Zhu Jun used his power to intimidate him."

"My lord," Qu Yi said, bowing his head low, "I am incompetent and have disgraced you."

Duan Yu looked around.

The Liangzhou soldiers around him clenched their fists, their eyes filled with humiliation.

Duan Yu stepped forward and patted Qu Yi on the shoulder.

In the Liangzhou army, the generals were generally no more than twenty years old, and even the slightly older ones were only in their early twenties.

This age is when one is young and full of vigor.

Qu Yi's personality is unlike Gao Shun's or Zhang Liao's; he is relatively mild-mannered.

Compared to the two, Qu Yi's personality was more violent.

It is conceivable that if Cao Cao hadn't stopped him today, and Gao Shun hadn't suppressed him, Qu Yi would have inevitably fought a fierce battle with Sun Jian and even Zhu Jun.

To be able to swallow this humiliation, one can imagine how painful it must have been for Qu Yi.

Duan Yu reached out and helped Qu Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet.

"Lord Yi, it is I who have wronged you."

Duan Yu patted Qu Yi on the shoulder and looked at him, saying, "If it weren't for your consideration of the bigger picture, how could you have suffered such humiliation?"

"It's not that you've disgraced me, it's that you've taken on this humiliation for my sake."

Qu Yi, who had been bowing his head, trembled violently. He raised his head and looked at Duan Yu with reddened eyes: "My lord... this humble general..."

"you're not wrong!"

Duan Yu said decisively, "You are trying to earn credit for the brothers who fought and bled."

"What wrong have you done to complete the task I've given you?"

"They are the ones who are at fault!"

"Stealing military merits, making provocative remarks, and insulting my Liangzhou army!"

"Everyone, assemble immediately and depart for Yangdi."

"I want to see what kind of people Zhu Jun and Sun Jian are, whether they have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, daring to insult my Liangzhou army!"

Duan Yu mounted his horse and surveyed the entire battlefield.

Countless Liangzhou soldiers stared intently at Duan Yu.

"Our Liangzhou army has come all the way from Liangzhou, fighting bloody battles, and no one can humiliate us."

"Today I will take you to see who dares to humiliate my Liangzhou army."

"Whoever does this will pay the price."

"Everyone, mount up!"

Cao Cao stood there, completely bewildered.

"Ziyi, do we really want to go back and fight them?" Cao Cao asked, staring at him with his small eyes.

Duan Yu sneered: "A bloody fight?"

"They are not worthy."

"Just two good-for-nothings."

With that, Duan Yu flicked the reins in his hand and waved towards Yang Di.

"Set off."

Behind him, Qu Yi, Gao Shun, Lü Bu, and thousands of Liangzhou soldiers mounted their warhorses with great momentum.

Generals are the soul of the army.

At this moment, the spirit of the Liangzhou army returned.

............

Early the next morning, inside Yangdi City.

Last night, Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun led their troops back to Yangdi.

After a resounding victory, a celebration is naturally in order.

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and a group of generals drank heavily until dawn before finally resting.

Even most of the soldiers inside Yangdi City were drunk, leaning slumped against the city wall.

At this time, the four gates of Yangdi City were still tightly closed.

But a troop had already arrived outside the city.

A procession consisting of dozens of riders and two carriages.

The dozens of riders were all dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Guard.

The procession slowly came to a stop after arriving at the East Gate of Yangdi.

The curtain of the first carriage was lifted by a hand reaching out from inside the carriage.

Inside the carriage, a pale-faced, beardless eunuch dressed in eunuch attire peered out from the carriage towards Yangdi City.

Zuo Feng, the eunuch, frowned slightly as he glanced at the tightly closed city gate.

"What time is it? Why isn't the gate open yet? What are these city guards doing?!"

"Go knock on the door," Zuo Feng said, frowning.

After nodding, the leading Imperial Guard immediately went to knock on the door.

Not long after.

The soldiers guarding the city then relayed the news to Wang Yun's governor's office.

After drinking almost all night, Wang Yun learned that the person from the Luoyang Imperial Palace was a minor eunuch, and immediately sent someone to inform Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

Less than half an hour later, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song arrived at Wang Yun's governor's mansion.

"Zishi, at this hour, someone from the palace has come..." Huangfu Song asked Wang Yun, "Could it be to hold us accountable?"

Wang Yun immediately shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, even if it is, it doesn't matter. We have already defeated Bo Cai and killed him."

"The arrival of the imperial envoys at this time is just in time; we can inform them of our victory and then return to attack Luoyang."

“Once Luoyang learns that we have wiped out Bo Cai’s army, the previous accusations will be nothing,” Wang Yun said, stroking his beard.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song both nodded after hearing this.

The three then went together to the east of the city to welcome Zuo Feng.

..........

Outside Yangdi City, Zuo Feng, who had been waiting for half an hour, was clearly showing signs of impatience.

Just as Zuo Feng was about to send someone to urge them again, the east gate of Yangdi opened wide.

Wang Yun, accompanied by Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and a group of generals from the city, went out to greet them.

Seeing that Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song had arrived late, Zuo Feng kept a straight face.
