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

Cheng Yuanzhi sat in the main seat, his face deep in thought.

Bian Xi watched Cheng Yuanzhi from the side.

“Brother Bian Xi, if the Great Teacher of Virtue is really being controlled by someone, controlled by that divine envoy, then... then that would be terrible!”

Cheng Yuanzhi said with a furrowed brow, "The lives of these hundreds of thousands of Taiping Dao believers all rest on the shoulders of the Great Teacher. We absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes."

"Furthermore, the Great Teacher is the leader of the Way of Peace; how can he be allowed to be controlled by others?"

"What do you say, Brother Bian Xi?"

Bian Xi nodded hurriedly and said angrily, "The commander is right. What is that so-called divine envoy? I can kill him with one hammer. To be honest, I have disliked him for a long time."

"Besides being good at flattery, what else can he do? He always has this smug look on his face."

Deng Mao, standing to the side, secretly gave Bian Xi a contemptuous smile.

“Brother Bian Xi’s idea is exactly what I’m thinking.” Cheng Yuanzhi nodded and said, “Even if it’s for the sake of the Great Teacher and the hundreds of thousands of believers of the Way of Peace, we absolutely cannot let that villain get away with it.”

"If he really dares to control the Great Teacher of Virtue and the Holy Maiden, then we must rescue the Holy Maiden and the Great Teacher of Virtue!"

Bian Xi suddenly stood up, patted his chest, and said, "General, just give the order. As long as you give the order, I, Bian Xi, am willing to be the vanguard for you and kill that so-called divine envoy."

Cheng Yuanzhi quickly shook his head and waved to Bian Xi: "Brother Bian Xi, please sit down first. This matter absolutely cannot be forced."

“These hundreds of thousands of people are followers of the Way of Peace, just like brothers to us. How can they kill each other?”

"A solution requires careful planning."

"Brother Bian Xi, please have a seat."

Upon hearing Cheng Yuanzhi's words, Bian Xi sat down and looked at Cheng Yuanzhi, asking, "Then, Commander, you tell me what to do, and I, Bian Xi, will do as you say. I will follow your lead without question."

"Good, good, good!" Cheng Yuanzhi nodded and said, "Brother Bian Xi's words are enough."

"This is what I think."

"What we're saying now is all speculation. We don't know if the Great Teacher of Goodness is really being controlled by that divine messenger."

"Therefore, we need to confirm this first."

Bian Xi nodded in agreement: "The commander-in-chief is indeed very thoughtful. It was my oversight. How can the commander-in-chief confirm this?"

Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head and said, "If the Great Teacher and the Holy Maiden are really controlled by that Divine Envoy, then even if we go to ask, we won't get any information. So the best way is to let the Holy Maiden get rid of that Divine Envoy first."

"If we could get the Holy Maiden to come to our Youzhou camp, that would be the best outcome. Here, even if that Divine Envoy wanted to use any means, it would all be wishful thinking."

Cheng Yuanzhi turned his gaze to Bian Xi and said, "However, if we want the Holy Maiden to come out, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Brother Bian Xi."

"General, please speak freely," Bian Xi said excitedly, straightening his back. "Since you have treated me so well, I will surely repay you with my life!"

"Eh."

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "What do you mean by dying? It's not that serious."

"It would be best if the Great Teacher of Virtue was not controlled. But if he is, aren't all the things we've done for the Great Teacher of Virtue and for the Way of Peace?"

"If the Great Teacher of Virtue is truly being controlled, then rescuing him would be a great achievement."

"At that time, the Bian brothers will surely be highly valued by the Great Teacher."

Bian Xi, sitting to the side, listened with his eyes shining.

I already had a feeling that my talents were not being recognized.

With such a great opportunity presented to him, Bian Xi's eyes naturally lit up.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, Commander. I'll do whatever you tell me to do," Bian Xi said excitedly.

Standing to the side, Deng Mao smiled and nodded at Cheng Yuanzhi.

It became.

That's it.

With Bian Xi, that brainless idiot, charging ahead, things became much simpler.

As long as we can find a way to lure Zhang Ning to the Youzhou camp, everything will fall into place naturally.

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

One day later.

Hundreds of thousands of Taiping Dao believers continued their journey toward Black Mountain.

The hundreds of thousands of people who migrated and scattered across the plains resembled an endless herd of cattle and sheep.

The vast majority of these hundreds of thousands of people were refugees who followed the main forces of each battalion in the direction of their advance.

After a day of migration, each camp would set up countless soup kitchens, and then the able-bodied men who made up the army would distribute the soup.

After eating and drinking, they would sleep anywhere around the Yellow Turban Army's camp.

Fortunately, the weather was hot at this time, and it was a season with little rain.

Otherwise, if it were spring or winter, these hundreds of thousands of people would have died of illness or starvation before even reaching Liangzhou.

As night fell over the vast plains, the towering Taihang Mountains, viewed from afar, resembled a black dragon lying prostrate on the earth.

This divided Jizhou and Bingzhou.

According to Duan Yu's original plan, he was to go through Yanmen County.

However, Li Zhao's own actions led to the collapse of Changshan Kingdom's defenses, allowing them to directly reach Taiyuan County by crossing the Black Mountain.

This saves one-third of the original distance.

There were no obstacles along the way through the Black Mountain.

After arriving in Taiyuan County, head west along the Xihe River, pass through Shang County, and you will enter Youfufeng.

Traveling westward from Youfufeng, it won't take more than a few days to reach Hanyang County.

Duan Yu, sitting in Zhang Ning's camp, looked at the map in front of him.

Several months have passed since I left Liangzhou.

When we returned to Liangzhou, it was already late August, almost September.

Although there were frequent correspondences in Liangzhou, letters could not alleviate the longing between them.

Diao Chan, Dong Yi, Su He, and Lady Bian...

"Is my husband homesick?"

Zhen Jiang, who was helping Duan Yu organize documents, asked softly.

Duan Yu smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's been several months since I came out, and I'm bound to miss home."

"I'm sure my sisters also miss their husbands very much," Zhen Jiang said gently.

Duan Yu smiled and gently stroked Zhen Jiang's hair, saying, "Having gentle, virtuous, and understanding wives like you is the greatest blessing in my life."

These are Duan Yu's honest thoughts.

Besides being beautiful, each of his wives was able to provide him with the greatest assistance in his career, and most importantly, they were gentle and virtuous.

Dong Yi, Diao Chan, Su He, Zhen Jiang, Zhang Ning...

With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

Throughout the Three Kingdoms period, no one else had as many beautiful wives and concubines as him.

"Once we return to Liangzhou, things will settle down, and I will try my best to spend more time with you then."

"You've suffered a lot and endured a lot of injustice over the past year."

Zhen Jiang smiled gently and shook her head, saying, "Being able to be with my husband, I have never felt wronged. No matter how much hardship I suffer, it is all worth it."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Duan Yu put his arm around Zhen Jiang's shoulder and let her nestle in his arms.

"My Lord".

A voice came from outside the tent announcing, "Liu Baitu requests an audience."

Duan Yu looked towards the direction outside the tent.

The fact that Liu Baitu arrived at this time suggests that news must have come from the Youzhou camp.

"You go back and rest first. I'll go back after I'm done with my work."

Zhen Jiang nodded gently and then got up and walked out of the tent.

Before long, Liu Baitu and Jia Dong arrived at Duan Yu's tent.

"Tell me what's going on."

Duan Yu looked at Liu Baitu as he entered and asked.

"My lord, a message has been relayed back from the Youzhou camp by our spies."

Duan Yu nodded, signaling Liu Baitu to continue.

Afterwards, Liu Baitu reported the situation that had occurred in Youzhou Camp in detail.

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Cheng Yuanzhi to use such underhanded tactics. So it seems that Bian Xi has completely sided with Cheng Yuanzhi."

Jia Dong curled his lip and said, "This guy is completely brainless. He can't even see through such an obvious frame-up, and now he's being driven by Cheng Yuanzhi."

"He really thought that Cheng Yuanzhi would offer him a high position in the future and treat him like a brother."

“In the evening, Bian Xi sent someone over, saying that Cheng Yuanzhi was seriously ill and hoped that the Great Virtuous Teacher or the Holy Maiden would administer talismanic water,” Jia Dong said.

"Hmm." Duan Yu nodded and said, "That's for the best. Pass down the order and have everyone else prepare."

“Let’s just turn the tables on them, get rid of Cheng Yuanzhi, and then appease the rest of the group.”
