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

Wang Yun was in the center, dressed in a black official robe.

On the right is Zhu Jun, and on the left is Huangfu Song.

Behind Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were Sun Jian, the Assistant Military Advisor, and Fu Xie, the Protector of the Army, respectively.

Along with officials of all ranks from Yangdi, a group of more than a dozen people headed towards the carriage carrying Zuo Feng.

In front of Zuo Feng's carriage were the Imperial Guards, and in front of the carriage was a young eunuch holding a staff.

With just one glance, Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song knew that Zuo Feng's arrival must be carrying an imperial edict.

However, because they had Bo Cai's head in hand, the three were not too worried. Even if there was an imperial edict reprimanding them, Bo Cai's head would be enough to quell the resentment.

"Wang Yun, Governor of Yuzhou".

"Zhu Jun, Right General of the Household".

"Left General Huangfu Song".

"We respectfully welcome the angel." The three men bowed and greeted Zuo Feng's carriage.

Zuo Feng, a eunuch on the carriage, frowned and covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief in disgust as he stepped down from the carriage and glanced at Wang Yun and the others.

"Is this how you suppress rebellions?"

After getting out of the car, Zuo Feng immediately questioned, "What time is it?"

"You're still holed up in the city, and haven't even opened the city gates?"

"His Majesty bestowed upon you high-ranking positions and generous salaries, ordering you to suppress the rebel army. Is this how you suppress the rebel army?"

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song exchanged glances.

It was clear from the sound that Zuo Feng had come bearing the emperor's reprimand.

Wang Yun immediately cupped his hands slightly and said, "Eunuch Zuo, you have a question... we..."

"Alright!" Zuo Feng interrupted Wang Yun before he could finish speaking, saying, "I don't have time to listen to your explanations. If you want to explain, wait until you return to Luoyang and explain to His Majesty in person."

Upon hearing Zuo Feng's words, Wang Yun was immediately taken aback.

Back to Luoyang?

Is the emperor going to dismiss them from their posts?

this......

This is not okay.

Wang Yun immediately said anxiously, "Eunuch Zuo, there is indeed a reason for this, we..."

"Aren't you annoying?" Zuo Feng frowned and said, "I've said I don't have time and I'm not interested in listening to your explanations."

"We're here to read out the imperial edict."

As he spoke, Zuo Feng glanced around and asked, "Governor of Liangzhou, where is General Po Qiang?"

Ok?

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song were all taken aback.

Duan Yu?

Zuo Feng had actually come to see Duan Yu.

Wang Yun, standing between Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, suddenly had a sudden change of heart.

“Eunuch Zuo, Duan... Duan Yu is not in the city at the moment.” Wang Yun looked at Zuo Feng and then changed the subject, saying, “However, we encountered Duan Yu’s troops in the direction of Xunshui yesterday. I wonder if Duan Yu is nearby.”

"Since Eunuch Zuo is here to find Duan Yu, let's go into the city first."

Upon hearing that Duan Yu was not in the city, Zuo Feng frowned slightly.

Wang Yun invited him to the city, and Zuo Feng did not refuse, but instead boarded the carriage.

Zuo Feng came with an imperial edict.

It's definitely not going to work if I don't see Duan Yu.

At Wang Yun's invitation, Zuo Feng chose to enter the city to wait.

Zuo Feng boarded the carriage, and Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song, and their entourage led the way.

Wang Yun, who was walking in front, turned his head and glanced at Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song beside him.

“Gongwei, Yizhen, now is the perfect time to impeach Duan Yu,” Wang Yun said in a low voice. “I suspect that this eunuch came here on His Majesty’s orders to see if Duan Yu has made any achievements in suppressing the bandits.”

“Perfect timing. We can take this opportunity to impeach Duan Yu, saying that he has avoided battle and has accomplished nothing in Yingchuan after more than a month.”

"In this way, we will present Bo Cai's head and the great achievement of defeating the enemy to the emperor."

"Even if His Majesty intends to protect Duan Yu, it won't be that easy."

"And without Duan Yu interfering, our next campaign to suppress the bandits will be much easier."

Zhu Jun nodded with a cold smile and said, "What Zishi said makes sense."

"If Duan Yu hadn't sent troops to steal the credit, we wouldn't have almost lost the first merit of killing Bo Cai."

"As long as Duan Yu is around, we must be wary of him."

"We might as well take this opportunity to directly impeach Duan Yu."

"Brother Yizhen, what do you think?" Zhu Jun asked Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the carriage behind him where Zuo Feng was riding and said, "This Zuo Feng is a minor eunuch in the palace."

"He's a eunuch, and Duan Yu has a very good relationship with Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and others. If we impeach Duan Yu like this, will he stand on our side?"

Wang Yun chuckled and said, "These filthy scoundrels are nothing but greedy for money."

"We'll just give him some money."

“As long as he takes our money, he will do things for us.”

"If Duan Yu returns later, we can use this scoundrel to directly restrain him, saving us the trouble of taking action."

“When we broke through Bo Cai’s central camp, we seized a lot of money. We can give him a portion of it.”

Zhu Jun immediately nodded: "Zishi is right, none of these filthy people are not greedy for money."

Wang Yun and Zhu Jun had already nodded in agreement, so Huangfu Song could only echo them.

After the three reached a consensus, Wang Yun immediately sent someone back to the governor's mansion to prepare the money.

..........

Before long, the group arrived at Wang Yun's governor's mansion.

Accompanied by the three men, Zuo Feng arrived at the main hall of Wang Yun's governor's mansion.

When Zuo Feng entered Wang Yun's main hall.

The first thing that catches the eye is a few wooden crates.

Wang Yun walked behind Zuo Feng, chuckled, and stepped forward, pointing to several wooden boxes. He said, "Eunuch Zuo, here are three million coins. It's a token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

Zuo Feng was taken aback.

He then looked at Wang Yun with some surprise.

Wang Yun sent a gift.

This clearly indicates that someone wants something from him.

just.

Zuo Feng glanced at the wooden box only once before giving Wang Yun a disdainful look.

Three million coins?

One governor, one right general, and one left general.

The three of them together came up with three million dollars?

So, in total, each person only contributed one million?

This isn't... isn't this just giving money away to a beggar?

Every time Duan Yu entered the palace, he never spent less than five million coins.

Zuo Feng wasn't stupid either.

Zuo Feng couldn't possibly not know what these people meant by giving him gifts.

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song were all former students and officials of Yang Ci and Yuan Wei.

Wang Yun stood there, a smile on his face, pointing at the wooden box, waiting for Zuo Feng to accept the money.

However, Zuo Feng's next words completely shattered Wang Yun's plan.

"Prefect Wang, what do you mean by this?" Zuo Feng said sternly, "Are you trying to bribe us with this money?"

Wang Yun's face immediately froze.

Even Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were a little confused.

This isn't right.

Shouldn't this eunuch be happily accepting the money?

“Governor Wang, don’t try to bribe me with these things. Do you think I won’t report what I see and hear here to His Majesty?”

“Our family members are straightforward and honest; how could we be swayed by such money?”

As Zuo Feng spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Prefect Wang, you'd better hurry up and put these things away."

"If people see this, they'll think our family accepted bribes from you."

Wang Yun froze on the spot.

Eunuchs don't accept bribes?

Isn’t this a fantasy?

Are there any eunuchs in the world who don't accept bribes?

Wang Yun thought he must have misheard.

But when Wang Yun saw Zuo Feng walk straight into the main hall and walk past the wooden box placed in the middle of the hall without even glancing at it, he was completely dumbfounded.

Not only Wang Yun, but also Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were extremely surprised.

On his way back, Wang Yun was still full of confidence and spoke with certainty.

A plan was devised to use Zuo Feng to suppress Duan Yu.

But the plan was thwarted before it even began.

Wang Yun winked at Zhu Jun, then lowered his voice and said, "It seems that Zuo Feng has come with His Majesty's imperial edict."

"I estimate that this decree is extremely unfavorable to us."

"Let's report the achievements in defeating the bandits first."

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song immediately nodded in agreement.

Previously, one of them was defeated by Bo Cai, and the other was besieged by Bo Cai at Changshe.

When the news reached Luoyang, Zuo Feng must have come with the emperor's decree reprimanding them for their poor performance in battle.

It seems that this is the only thing we can do first.

At this moment, Zuo Feng had already arrived at the very front of the hall.

Wang Yun immediately cupped his hands, stepped forward, and said to Zuo Feng, "Eunuch Zuo, I have a report of military achievements that I am about to present."

"Since Eunuch Zuo is here, that's perfect..."

"Report~"

Wang Yun hadn't finished speaking yet.

A soldier rushed in from behind.

A soldier's announcement interrupted Wang Yun's words, causing everyone to turn and look at the soldier.

"Reporting to my lord, General, an army has arrived outside the city," the soldier said, kneeling on one knee.

Wang Yun, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song all turned around at the same time.

"What troops?" Wang Yun asked, frowning. "Did you see them clearly? Are they bandits?"

The two soldiers quickly shook their heads and said, "Reporting to the lord, they are not bandits, but a cavalry force of several thousand men."

"The flag is raised by the Liangzhou Army."

Wang Yun frowned.

Liangzhou Army?

Is it the same army of Duan Yu that was at Xunshui yesterday?

Before Wang Yun could ask again, the soldier said, "The city gate captain said that it is the Liangzhou army, and they also have a banner with the character 'Duan' on it."

Duan Yu!

Duan Yu is here!

Wang Yun's eyes widened instantly.

Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were both taken aback.

Duan Yu is here!

It seems that Duan Yu was indeed hiding nearby.

Yesterday, I must have spent the entire day in the Lu River with them.

At this time, Duan Yu came to Yangdi, most likely to compete with them for credit.

but......

Just in time.

Wang Yun narrowed his eyes.

Upon hearing Duan Yu's name, Zuo Feng's tense expression immediately softened.

"Prefect Wang, now that General Duan has arrived, that's perfect. Please invite General Duan over as soon as possible."

..........

Outside Yangdi City.

All eight thousand Liangzhou soldiers arrived at the city walls.

Duan Yu, leading the way, held a riding whip in one hand.

Behind Duan Yu, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Lü Bu, Cao Cao, Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and others rode their warhorses in neat formation.

Upon hearing the message from the city gate captain inviting him to enter, Duan Yu gently shook the reins of the Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast.

"Let's go into the city," Duan Yu said coldly.
