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

East side outside Guangzong City.

The three large camps were positioned in a defensive formation, with flames blazing into the sky, making it as bright as day.

In front of Lu Zhi's main force camp, Liu Bei, along with his brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, stood at the camp gate.

Liu Bei was dressed in plain clothes, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both wearing armor.

Zhang Fei, wielding a long spear, and Guan Yu, wielding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, stood to the left and right of Liu Bei, respectively.

"Second brother, third brother, don't be so nervous. Don't let Dong Zhuo see through our plan," Liu Bei said in a low voice without turning his head.

Zhang Fei chuckled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, brother. Even if he sees through it, so what? If he dares to resist, I'll poke a hundred and eighty holes in him."

As soon as Zhang Fei said this, Liu Bei's expression changed immediately.

"Third brother, stop talking nonsense." Liu Bei turned to Zhang Fei and said, "No matter what, do not harm the General of the Eastern Army, do you hear me?"

Zhang Fei scratched his head in confusion and said, "Brother, what if he resists?"

"Besides, once we take him down, what can his men do? What are you afraid of, brother?"

Liu Bei's eyelids twitched.

There's nothing to fear about Dong Zhuo; once we take him down, we can control the Western Camp.

The issue is......

The problem is Duan Yu, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law!

After tonight, news of Dong Zhuo's capture will likely reach Duan Yu's ears.

What will Duan Yu do once this news reaches his ears?

What would happen if Duan Yu came to Ji Province?

Given Duan Yu's style of doing things, not to mention the three brothers, even his teacher Lu Zhi would probably have to be careful.

If the three brothers were to actually fight, then...

Will Duan Yu's anger be directed at them?

definitely will!

This is beyond doubt.

"Third brother, you must not act rashly later. Do everything according to my instructions, do you understand?" Liu Bei said sternly.

Zhang Fei shrugged and said "Oh".

"Second brother, unless there are special circumstances, you must not take action." Liu Bei then turned his gaze to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu nodded in agreement.

Over time.

The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

Liu Bei looked up and saw a troop of cavalry carrying torches approaching in their direction.

Adjusting his facial expression, Liu Bei straightened his back.

Dozens of cavalrymen carrying torches approached from afar and soon arrived at the gate of the East Camp.

The leader was none other than Dong Zhuo.

Liu Bei looked up at Dong Zhuo and the troops behind him.

Fortunately, there weren't many people, only a few dozen riders.

and......

It seems that the general who always followed Dong Zhuo is also not here.

"General of the Eastern Central Army." Liu Bei stepped forward and bowed to Dong Zhuo, saying, "This humble official is here to await General of the Eastern Central Army on the orders of my teacher, Lu Zhi."

"Haha."

Wearing full armor and holding a whip, Dong Zhuo laughed loudly and then dismounted.

The dozens of cavalrymen behind him also dismounted along with Dong Zhuo.

"General Bei Zhonglang, you are too kind. We have kept you three brothers waiting here for so long."

"Let's go, let's go in quickly. The General of the Northern Army must be getting impatient." Dong Zhuo said, waving his hand as he walked towards the Eastern Camp. "I was delayed by a small matter earlier."

Liu Bei, along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, stepped aside and watched Dong Zhuo walk into the camp gate.

His gaze casually swept over the guards behind Dong Zhuo before he followed in Dong Zhuo's footsteps.

"By the way, your name is Liu Bei, right?" Dong Zhuo asked as he walked towards the camp. "I've heard that you're a member of the Han imperial family?"

Liu Bei, who was following behind Dong Zhuo, nodded slightly.

Before Liu Bei could reply, Zhang Fei shouted in a loud voice, "That's right, my elder brother is a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, so of course he is a member of the Han imperial family."

"Hehe." Dong Zhuo chuckled, not paying much attention.

There's nothing unusual about someone being a member of the Han imperial family.

The Han Dynasty lasted for four hundred years, and there were countless members of the Han imperial family.

Those who had previously been granted fiefdoms, such as a pavilion or a village, were all surnamed Liu, and any one of them could be a member of the Han imperial family.

For ordinary people, the phrase "relatives of the Han imperial family" might have some significance.

But for the true gentry, powerful families, and officials, those who now hold commanderies, kingdoms, and titles are considered members of the Han imperial family.

Someone like Liu Bei, who needed to rely on a teacher-student relationship to infiltrate the army, was only a minor military officer. Members of the Han imperial family certainly did not have titles or fiefdoms.

Dong Zhuo's soft chuckle made Liu Bei feel ashamed.

"Seeing you all reminds me of my son-in-law," Dong Zhuo said proudly, raising his chin. "You've heard of Duan Yu, haven't you?"

Liu Bei nodded quickly: "Reporting to the General of the Eastern Central Army, I have heard of Duan Yu, the Governor of Liangzhou, a tiger general of the world."

"Haha." Dong Zhuo nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, that's right, that's my son-in-law."

"The three of you have not yet met my son-in-law. You must meet him when you have the chance."

"My son-in-law has many capable generals by his side."

"Both of your brothers are capable of defeating ten thousand men, and my son-in-law also has many fierce generals with superb martial arts skills under his command."

"We should definitely get to know each other if we have the chance."

When Dong Zhuo mentioned that Duan Yu had many fierce generals under his command, Guan Yu, who was following behind Liu Bei, narrowed his eyes and looked arrogant.

"Of course, none of my son-in-law's fierce generals are as good as him."

Dong Zhuoyue said he was increasingly proud.

“When my son-in-law went to the Xiongnu last year, he subdued them with just one strike, making the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu dare not act rashly.”

"And then there's archery."

"Within three hundred paces, no one can dodge the arrow shot by my son-in-law."

Dong Zhuo suddenly stopped, then turned around abruptly, gesturing towards Liu Bei's chest.

"The arrow pierced through his chest with incredible accuracy!"

Liu Bei was startled by Dong Zhuo's sudden action.

Dong Zhuo turned around and burst into laughter again.

Liu Bei, who was following behind Dong Zhuo, always had a very bad feeling.

The Dong Zhuo I see now is very different from the Dong Zhuo I saw during the day.

But they couldn't quite put their finger on what was different.

Thus, with a heavy heart, Liu Bei escorted Dong Zhuo to the gate of Lu Zhi's central command tent.

"General Dong, I'll see you off here," Liu Bei said, standing in front of Lu Zhi's tent.

Dong Zhuo stood in front of Lu Zhi's camp gate, glanced around, then smiled and nodded before entering the camp.

The dozens of guards who came with Dong Zhuo remained outside the camp.

Seeing Dong Zhuo enter the camp, Liu Bei finally felt relieved.

"Hmph, you fat pig, all talk and no action." Zhang Fei scoffed and said, "You say you can shoot an arrow through the chest from three hundred paces? I can shoot three thousand paces, thirty thousand paces!"

"They say there are many fierce generals, but I don't believe there's anyone fiercer than my second brother."

"Third brother," Liu Bei frowned and said, "speak softly."

"Brother, I'm just telling the truth," Zhang Fei muttered.

Liu Bei's brows remained furrowed.

There was a lingering sense of foreboding in my heart.

Although Dong Zhuo's words just sounded like normal conversation, he had a feeling that Dong Zhuo was implying something.

"Brother."

Seeing Liu Bei's solemn expression, Guan Yu turned to him and asked, "Brother, is something on your mind?"

Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "I feel uneasy, and I also feel that Dong Zhuo was acting strangely just now."

"I'm worried something might happen tonight, so be careful and do whatever I say."

Both Zhang Fei and Guan Yu nodded to indicate that they understood.

...........

Inside the camp.

Lu Zhi stood up to greet Dong Zhuo when he entered.

"General Dong." Lu Zhi, dressed in full armor and standing eight feet tall, bowed to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo smiled and stepped forward to return the greeting: "General Lu, you have really gone to a lot of trouble to prepare this banquet for me today."

"Not at all, General Dong, please have a seat."

After exchanging pleasantries, Dong Zhuo took his seat to Lu Zhi's left.

After taking his seat, Dong Zhuo glanced around the tent before finally settling his gaze on the wine and meat laid out on the table in front of him.

He then smiled and looked at Lu Zhi, asking, "I wonder if General Lu has any business with me tonight?"
