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

Everyone witnessed what happened outside the city yesterday.

However, due to the distance and the uncertainty of what caused it, everyone remained puzzled until nightfall.

But that night, Liu Baitu received intelligence.

The events, from their occurrence to their continuation, and the subsequent events after Duan Yu arrived in Guangzong City, have all been clearly explained.

Along with the intelligence came an order from Duan Yu.

The command is simple.

That is to find a way to defeat Lu Zhi.

If Duan Yu could personally handle this matter, it would actually be very easy to resolve.

Although Lu Zhi's army has now expanded to nearly 50,000, Duan Yu's forces consist mainly of elite troops brought from Liangzhou and those left behind by Dong Zhuo.

However, Duan Yu was unable to make a move against Lu Zhi.

Therefore, the only way to deal with Lu Zhi is to use the Yellow Turban Army.

However, Lu Zhi was not so easy to deal with.

Therefore, Duan Yu directly dispatched the most luxurious lineup of strategists available at the moment.

Li Ru, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu.

The three of them need to come up with a perfect plan to completely defeat Lu Zhi.

Then, after reviewing the entire course of events from yesterday...

Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu redefined the plan.

An ancient proverb states that when a master is disgraced, his servant will die.

Without a doubt, Dong Zhuo was humiliated, and Duan Yu was humiliated along with him.

There are people in Luoyang who don't want to see Duan Yu do well.

Then let's make sure no one is happy.

Therefore, after Duan Yu entrusted this matter to Li Ru, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu, the three of them briefly communicated using Liu Baitu's communications and then devised a bold plan.

Jia Xu glanced at everyone in the hall.

Then he said, "This plan was made without the Lord's permission; it was a decision we made on our own."

"And once implemented, many people will die."

"But for the sake of your plans, and for the sake of the millions of lives in Ji Province, these sacrifices are worthwhile."

"If anyone still has concerns or wants to withdraw, that's fine too."

"If Your Majesty really blames us in the future, we will be spared from being implicated and punished."

Jia Xu's gaze swept across the faces of everyone present.

Of all the people, only Cheng Yu knew the specific steps of this planned operation.

The remaining few people did not know.

But since Jia Xu said so, it means that this planned operation is definitely not ordinary.

quit?

To escape punishment?

Jia Dong was the first to step forward and wave his hand, saying, "Don't look at me. I just love a good time. Even if you don't include me, I definitely won't quit."

"After all, I had a part in this."

Since Jia Dong had already expressed his opinion, Hao Zhao naturally couldn't be left behind, so he stepped forward and stood directly in the same row as Jia Dong.

"I'm not quitting!"

Zhang Xiu came to Cheng Yu's side.

In the corner, Liu Baitu squatted there, watching a few ants crawling down from the beam, his expression extremely serious.

Jia Xu glanced at everyone, then took a deep breath and nodded.

"For the sake of our lord!" Jia Xu shouted in a low voice.

"For my lord!"

"For my lord!"

Everyone in the room stood up and shouted in unison.

The sound wasn't loud, but it lingered in the hall for a long time.

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

Time flies, and the sun sets in the west in the blink of an eye.

Outside Guangzong City, at the Eastern Camp.

Lu Zhi was in the central command tent at this time.

Suddenly, a soldier strode into Lu Zhi's tent from outside and said with his hands clasped, "General, the scouts outside the camp have made a discovery: the Yellow Turban rebels have opened the north gate of the city."

Ok?

Lu Zhi, who was holding a military treatise in his hands, immediately looked up.

"The north gate of Guangzong City is open?"

The soldier immediately nodded: "Yes, it seems that there are still Yellow Turban rebels gathering in the city."

The Yellow Turban rebels were about to flee.

An answer immediately came to Lu Zhi's mind.

"Quickly, put on your armor, prepare your horses, and also prepare a troop of cavalry to go with me to investigate," Lu Zhi said.

"only!"

After the soldier agreed, he walked out of the camp.

Before long, dozens of riders had gathered in the direction of the camp gate.

Lu Zhi, clad in black armor, rode his horse and, after the camp gates opened, looked towards the north of Guangzong City along with several dozen other riders.

Before long, guided by the scouts, Lu Zhi arrived at a secluded observation point near the north gate of Guangzong City.

Lu Zhi, mounted on his horse, gazed at the open city gate of Guangzong City in the distance.

At this time, Guangzong City was besieged by troops from the east, west, and south.

But the north gate was the only one without one.

Encircle three sides and leave one side open; this was the only way for the Yellow Turban rebels in the city to escape.

It may be a way out, but it's not a way to survive.

The Yellow Turban rebels were mostly composed of displaced people and civilians.

If it were to defend the city, it would still have the strength to fight.

However, its ability to siege cities and engage in field battles is very weak.

Especially when the Han army still had cavalry.

Without the protection of the city walls, the Yellow Turban rebels would have virtually no chance of winning against the Han army.

Of course, this excludes the situation of being ambushed.

As the north gate of Guangzong City opened and Yellow Turban rebels began to emerge from the city, Lu Zhi, who was watching from his horse, felt a surge of excitement.

Once the Yellow Turban rebels leave the city and lose the protection of Guangzong City, annihilating them will be too easy.

"General, should we gather our troops and prepare for an attack?"

"A deputy general behind Lu Zhi asked."

Lu Zhi immediately raised his hand to stop him: "No need."

"Do not let the soldiers in the camp move around."

"Wait, let's wait until all the Yellow Turban rebels have left the city before we talk about it."

Looking at Guangzong City in the distance, Lu Zhi said, "If we launch an attack now, these Yellow Turban rebels will immediately retreat back into the city."

"With Guangzong City protecting us, it will be very difficult for us to attack."

"There are over 100,000 Yellow Turban rebels inside Guangzong City. A direct assault would inevitably result in heavy casualties."

Lu Zhi's eyes gleamed.

This opportunity is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

If we seize this opportunity and wait for all the Yellow Turban rebels in Guangzong City to come out, we can eliminate them all in one fell swoop outside the city.

Moreover, Zhang Jiao is still inside the city. If we can capture him alive or kill him, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Ji Province will be basically quelled.

"We must not alert the enemy before the Golden Bandits have fully emerged from Guangzong City."

"Furthermore, you must return to camp immediately and gather all the cavalry from the three main camps. Remember, all the cavalry," Lu Zhi said.

The lieutenant, riding behind Lu Zhi, nodded and took notes.

Lu Zhi waved his hand and said, "There are many Yellow Turban rebels in the city. If we want them all to leave the city, it will probably have to wait until tomorrow morning."

"Go back and give the order that after all the Yellow Turban rebels leave the city tomorrow, I will lead all the cavalry to pursue Zhang Jiao, while you lead the soldiers to occupy Guangzong City first."

After Lu Zhi issued his orders, the deputy general immediately went to relay them.

Lu Zhi, on the other hand, stayed where he was and quietly observed the movements of the Yellow Turban Army.

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

Inside Guangzong City.

The Yellow Turban Army, resembling a yellow sea, was emerging from the north gate of Guangzong City in succession.

A large number of Yellow Turban soldiers almost blocked the North Gate.

In front of the county government building, Jia Dong, along with Hao Zhao and Zhang Xiu, led over a thousand Yellow Turban warriors and had already prepared Zhang Jiao's carriage.

Although they were called Yellow Turban Warriors, these thousand-plus soldiers were actually the thousand elite Liangzhou troops that Zhang Xiu had brought from Duan Yu.

They're just dressed up as Yellow Turban rebels now.

The reason why Guangzong City was able to defeat Lu Zhi and Dong Zhuo so decisively in the battle to defend the city was largely due to the presence of 1,000 elite troops from Liangzhou.

With Zhang Ning's help, Zhang Jiao walked out of the county government building.

Jia Dong, who was waiting nearby, quickly went over to help him up.

“Great wise teacher, the Han army outside the city has indeed not discovered our intentions, and there has been no movement from the Han army camp outside the city.”

“After a few more believers leave, you, Great Teacher, can go out,” Jia Dong said.

As Zhang Jiao was about to board the carriage, he nodded and said, "Please take good care of me."

Jia Dong smiled and nodded: "It's all what I should do. Please take good care of Master Xianliang, Miss. We'll set off soon."

Zhang Ning hummed in agreement and then nodded.

After seeing that Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ning had boarded the carriage, Jia Dong called Hao Zhao and Zhang Xiu aside.

"Remember the strategist's instructions."

"The flag should be bigger."

"We must be conspicuous, but we must also ensure the safety of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Ning," Jia Dong said in a low voice.

The two nodded seriously, then mounted their horses and stood guard on either side of Zhang Jiao's carriage.

"Alright, I'll go inform them." Jia Dong said, then walked towards the north city wall.

On the north side of the city wall of Guangzong City.

Dressed in a black robe and wearing a tall mountain-shaped crown, Jia Xu stood with his hands tucked into his sleeves, squinting at the distant north of Guangzong City.

The wind was strong on the city wall, making Jia Xu's robes flutter loudly.

Behind Jia Xu, Liu Baitu crouched behind the battlements, sheltering from the crosswinds.

"Your Excellency is perfect in every way."

"It's just that his heart... is a little too kind." Jia Xu shook his head gently.

Liu Baitu, who was crouching behind the battlements to avoid the wind, looked up at Jia Xu and said, "So, you're preparing to teach Lord Jun a lesson?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Of course not. I just want you to know that to achieve great things, one must be ruthless."

"But sometimes, when the lord can't be ruthless, we, as his subordinates, can help him be ruthless."

"There are also things that will bring shame upon them, which subordinates naturally have to do as well."

As he spoke, Jia Xu turned his head to look towards the city.

Within Jia Xu's sight, Cheng Yu, having removed the iconic yellow robe of the Yellow Turban Army, nodded to Jia Xu.

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

Dusk was approaching, at the boundary bridge.

Li Ru stood facing the wind on the boundary bridge. As the first evening breeze arrived, his black robe billowed, and the jade pendant hanging at his waist, tied with a red string, swayed slightly in the breeze.
