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

That night.

Inside Guangzong City.

Countless Yellow Turban soldiers rested against the battlements.

Cheng Yu, wearing an earth-yellow robe and a bamboo armor over it, was walking on the city wall.

Beside him was none other than Jia Dong, who had now been promoted to the position of Divine Envoy.

Divine messenger.

Besides Zhang Jiao, the Great Teacher of the Way of Peace, there are also two divine messengers.

One of them was Ma Yuanyi, who was arrested in Luoyang.

Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Mancheng were both disciples of Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Mancheng is now in the Wancheng area, while Ma Yuanyi was torn apart by five horses in Luoyang.

As for how Jia Dong came to be the divine messenger, that's simple.

After escaping from Quliang, Jia Dong followed Jia Xu's plan and led Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ning northwards.

Zhang Jiao remained in a coma due to his serious illness.

Later, Jia Dong persuaded Zhang Ning to give Zhang Jiao his medicine.

Since then, Zhang Jiao's injuries have healed considerably, and he woke up on the way to Anping Kingdom.

After Zhang Jiao woke up, he began to gather believers of the Way of Peace, and within a few days, he had gathered several thousand people around him.

However, since Zhang Jiao's health was still weak, he could only let the 'loyal' Jia Dong take over the management.

Management naturally requires a certain status.

Jia Dong had previously said that he had received a dream from a deity, so Zhang Jiao gave Jia Dong the identity of a divine messenger.

Later, following Jia Xu's plan, Jia Dong retreated while recruiting followers of the Way of Peace.

When they arrived in Guangzong County of Anping Kingdom, they had already gathered more than 20,000 followers of the Taiping Dao.

Later, Cheng Yu and Zhang Xiu led fifty to sixty thousand followers of the Taiping Dao from Dongjun northward to Guangzong County.

After the two joined forces, they once commanded nearly 100,000 men.

After joining forces in Guangzong, Jia Xu originally planned to continue leading his troops northward toward the state of Zhongshan.

But before the main army could set off, the defeated troops of Zhang Jiao's younger brother Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang arrived.

Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo led an army of 50,000 men, which scattered and fled the more than 100,000 troops that Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang had taken from Quyang.

The two brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, fled north to escape.

However, Lu Zhi abandoned his pursuit of Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

They then turned to attack Guangzong.

Now, Jia Xu's plan could not be carried out.

They could only hold out in Guangzong City.

Fortunately, there were enough soldiers in the city.

Moreover, there were figures like Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Hao Zhao, and Zhang Xiu in charge.

They were somewhat flustered when facing attacks from Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo in the first two encounters.

Later on, I became quite adept at handling it.

In subsequent attacks, coupled with Dong Zhuo's cessation of the siege, it became even more difficult for Lu Zhi to conquer Guangzong alone.

The two cities, one inside and one outside, began to confront each other.

The night was cool, and Jia Dong walked with a pigeon-toed gait on the city wall.

Following behind him was Hao Zhao, clad in armor and carrying two short guns on his back.

Beside him were Cheng Yu and Zhang Xiu, dressed as Yellow Turban soldiers.

Walking between the two was Jia Xu, dressed in a black robe.

A short distance away from them, a person dressed in a black robe followed.

As Cheng Yu walked along the battlements, he inspected the ropes that held the corpses.

“Old Cheng, I understand that you want to hang these corpses here to intimidate the Han army outside the city, but they’ve been hanging here for days. If we don’t take them down soon, they’ll start to rot. What if that causes a plague?”

Jia Dong turned his body to the side and then moved away in disgust.

Cheng Yu ignored him and carefully examined the ropes hanging from the corpses, saying, "Pull them all up tomorrow, and then rub them with plenty of salt."

Jia Dong: "..."

"No... why are you rubbing salt on it?" Jia Dong stared at Cheng Yu with wide eyes.

Cheng Yu did not explain.

Jia Xu, who was walking in the middle, glanced at Cheng Yu, who was inspecting the ropes, and said, "Actually, we are not afraid if a plague breaks out. We can just throw these corpses into the Han army."

Jia Dong paused, his expression blank.

I have an urge to escape from here as soon as possible.

Who are these people?

Is there one that is normal?

Just as Jia Dong was about to say something.

Liu Baitu followed behind and stood beside Cheng Yu with great interest, saying, "If it's braised meat, you have to remove the internal organs first."

"According to my research, the reason why corpses decompose quickly is because of the internal organs."

"It would be better to gut it first, and then use brine."

Cheng Yu turned to look at Liu Baitu behind him, pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "What you said makes sense."

"Ugh~"

Jia Dong ran to the edge of the battlement in a few steps and vomited on the battlement.

"Boss, have some water."

Hao Zhao handed the water bag to Jia Dong.

Jia Dong took the water pouch and gulped down several large mouthfuls. Then he looked at Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Liu Baitu standing together.

A chill seeped up from the soles of my feet and went straight to my brain.

"Bo Dao, now do you know why I told you to stay away from them?" Jia Dong pointed at the group and said, "Look, look."

“Is there a single normal person among these people? And you, Lord Jun, where did you find these guys?”

Hao Zhao nodded noncommittally.

indeed.

Just seeing these people standing there gave him a chill down his spine.

Jia Dong took another sip of water and spat it out of the city.

As soon as he spat out the water, Jia Dong frowned and looked into the distance.

"what?"

Jia Dong rubbed his eyes in confusion.

In the distance, in the distance, there seemed to be some moving lights.

They got closer and closer, and their speed increased.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!" Jia Dong screamed.

At Jia Dong's shout, the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall immediately stood up.

The city wall erupted in chaos in an instant.

however.

Just as everyone was looking out of the city walls.

The dense array of torches stopped in the direction of the right wing of the western camp outside the city.

However, after watching for a while, the two densely packed torch teams stopped after reaching the western camp of the Han army outside the city.

"It shouldn't be an enemy attack."

Jia Xu, dressed in black robes, said, "If it were a night raid, we wouldn't be using so many torches; it would attract too much attention."

"Judging from this, this troop of soldiers should have come from Lu Zhi's camp and is heading towards Dong Gong's camp."

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and said, "At this time, why would Lu Zhi's troops be heading towards Lord Dong's western camp?"

Of all the people present, Jia Xu was the most familiar with Dong Zhuo's troop deployment.

The elite troops under Dong Zhuo's command were stationed in the right flank of the Western Camp, a fact that Jia Xu had discovered several days earlier.

Jia Xu had previously speculated that Dong Zhuo would suddenly stop cooperating with Lu Zhi in attacking the city.

It must have been Duan Yu who sent the message to Dong Zhuo.

That's why Dong Zhuo stopped the siege of Guangzong City.

Therefore, Jia Xu has adjusted the city's defenses in the past few days, focusing the defense on the east side where Lu Zhi is located.

"Let one person stay and observe the situation. We'll see what happens after dawn tomorrow," Jia Xu said.

They all nodded in agreement.

.........

The next day, as the sun rose and the sky brightened, Zhang Xiu, who had been holding the city wall all night, summoned everyone to the west side of Guangzong City.

Apart from Liu Baitu.

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Jia Dong, and Hao Zhao all stood on the city wall, looking at the western side, which originally belonged to Dong Zhuo's camp.

At this time, one of the two camps that originally belonged to Dong Zhuo had become an empty camp.

Meanwhile, soldiers from another large camp were slowly leaving their camp and moving towards Lu Zhi's camp in the east of the city.

The flags they carried had all been changed from having the character 'Dong' to having the character 'Lu'.

"what 's wrong?"

Jia Dong scratched his head and looked at Jia Xu beside him.

The morning air was slightly cool, and Jia Xu tucked his hands into his sleeves.

“I suspect something must have happened last night,” Jia Xu said, pointing to the empty camp on the right side of Dong Zhuo’s camp to the west. “The elite troops under Dong Zhuo’s command should have been stationed there, but now it’s an empty camp.”

"I suspect that Dong Gong's elite troops must have withdrawn from here yesterday night."

"As for the soldiers in that camp, their command should now belong to Lu Zhi."

"what?"

Jia Dong's eyes widened.

They all knew about the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Duan Yu.

That was their lord's father-in-law.

To put it bluntly, they are friendly forces, not enemy forces.

Now that our allies have suddenly encountered a crisis, we naturally have to be concerned.

What's more, this ally is their lord's father-in-law.

"Should we have Bai Tu relay this message to Lord Jun?" Jia Dong asked, looking at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu nodded: "Only he can find out where the Lord is. Let him send a message to the Lord first."
