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

Early the next morning.

Inside the Youzhou camp.

Wearing a set of bamboo armor, Bian Xi walked hurriedly toward Cheng Yuanzhi's tent with a happy expression on his face.

"General, General!"

As soon as he entered the tent, Bian Xi looked at Cheng Yuanzhi sitting inside and said impatiently, "General, good news! The Holy Maiden sent me a message saying she's coming to visit you soon!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yuanzhi immediately perked up.

"Good, good!"

After exclaiming "Good!" three times in a row, Cheng Yuanzhi stood up from his seat and looked at Bian Xi happily, saying, "Brother Bian Xi, you've done a great service this time."

"Don't worry, if things are really as we think, once the Great Teacher and the Holy Maiden are rescued, Brother Bian Xi, you will be the greatest hero."

"At that time, I will definitely inform the Great Teacher and the Holy Maiden, and have them bestow rewards upon you."

"Maybe by then, Brother Bian Xi and I will be in the same position, both having the power to command a battalion!"

Cheng Yuanzhi's words made Bian Xi burst into laughter. He excitedly rubbed his hands together and said, "Don't worry, General. Even if I come to power in the future, I will never forget your kindness."

Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and nodded: "Brother Bian Xi's martial arts are superb. We will need Brother Bian Xi to help us later. Brother Bian Xi, please stay here for now."

"Okay." Bian Xi nodded without hesitation.

Cheng Yuanzhi then summoned Deng Mao and made some arrangements.

Hundreds of elite troops were transferred from the main camp and deployed around the main tent.

In addition, some of the most elite troops were selected to be stationed in the camp.

As for Cheng Yuanzhi, he pretended to be sick in the central command tent and waited for Zhang Ning's arrival, as Bian Xi had previously informed him.

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

Outside the Youzhou camp.

At this time, Zhang Ning's carriages and horses had arrived near the Youzhou camp.

Along the way, whenever the Taipingdao believers saw Zhang Ning's carriage, they would kneel down on both sides and worship him devoutly, just like on a pilgrimage.

Since these followers of the Way of Peace arrived in Xiaquyang and then began their migration.

Although we couldn't eat our fill at every meal along the way, at least we didn't go hungry.

The 500,000 shi of grain that Duan Yu obtained from the Zhen family solved the food problem for this route.

In this era of moral decay, constant natural disasters, and widespread famine, if you can keep a group of people who follow you from starving, at least they will have food to eat.

Then you'll be able to easily command these people.

If you go a step further, if you can provide these people with clothes to wear, shelter to live in, and food to eat, then they will be willing to risk their lives for you.

If you could go a step further and ensure that all these people are well-fed and have no worries about the future, then in their eyes you would be the emperor, ready to don the imperial robes at any time.

Before he traveled through time, Duan Yu didn't understand.

Why was it that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, soldiers could be recruited as long as there was food?

It wasn't until Duan Yu lived in that era firsthand that he understood the true value of grain in that time.

Most people in later generations only know that the late Ming Dynasty was during the Little Ice Age.

But most people don't know that the Eastern Han Dynasty was actually during the Little Ice Age.

In such an environment, temperatures plummet, the seasons reverse, and natural disasters occur frequently.

Not only did the fields often yield no harvest, but the people also had to face diseases, plagues, and unpredictable temperatures throughout the four seasons.

Now, Zhang Ning, in the name of the Holy Maiden of the Way of Peace, is providing food for these migrating followers of the Way of Peace.

The significance of the name "Taipingdao" is constantly increasing.

In the past, when Zhang Jiao used porridge mixed with the talismans of the Way of Peace to help the world, he accumulated countless prestige over ten years, which is why he could command a large following.

Now, all the believers along the Taiping Road have food to eat.

The followers of Taiping Dao became even more grateful and devoted to Taiping Dao.

In addition, Duan Yu also discovered it.

Along the way here, more and more refugees have been joining us.

The migration of hundreds of thousands of people did not decrease in number due to hunger.

The increase is actually due to the fact that people can get a meal as long as they come here.

Zhang Ning was riding in a white carriage, pulled by two white horses.

The carriage was draped with white gauze, giving it an air of utter purity.

Especially when walking on muddy roads and among the ragged Taiping Dao believers on both sides, it's like a white lotus blooming in a muddy pond.

On either side of the carriage were a dozen or so traveling maids carrying yellow triangular banners, wearing yellow dresses and yellow ribbons tied on their foreheads.

All of this was caused by Jia Dong.

They claimed that a saint should act like a saint.

Packaging is required.

It must be said that Jia Dong is truly a business genius.

At the rear of the procession, Duan Yu rode an ordinary warhorse, following behind Zhang Ning's carriage.

The Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast was too conspicuous, so Duan Yu didn't ride it.

Beside and behind Duan Yu, Zhang Niujiao, Chu Yan, Guan Hai, Guan Cheng, and others, dressed in the clothes of ordinary soldiers, followed behind the convoy, mixed in with the group of hundreds of people.

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

At the main gate of the Youzhou camp, Deng Mao and Bian Xi waited at the gate.

Deng Mao could see Zhang Ning's carriage from a great distance.

"coming."

Bian Xi stared wide-eyed into the distance and said.

Deng Mao naturally saw it too, so he nodded and said to Bian Xi beside him, "Brother Bian Xi, success or failure hinges on this moment. You must not reveal any flaws later. We will wait for the commander's order."

Bian Xi quickly nodded in response, "Don't worry, Brother Deng, I understand."

While the two were talking, the carriage had already arrived near the camp gate.

After Deng Mao gave Bian Xi a wink, the two of them led a dozen or so Yellow Turban soldiers to meet Zhang Ning's carriage.

The person riding in front of Zhang Ning's carriage was none other than Jia Dong, who served as the divine messenger.

Wearing a yellow Taoist robe, Jia Dong now looks more like a charlatan.

He sat on his horse with his chin raised, looking extremely arrogant.

"We respectfully welcome the Holy Maiden, and the Divine Envoy!"

Deng Mao was the first to bow with his hands clasped in greeting.

Bian Xi, standing to the side, glanced at Jia Dong with a slightly disdainful expression, and then bowed along with Deng Mao.

Riding on his horse, Jia Dong leaned down to look at Deng Mao and Bian Xi, and said arrogantly, "Why didn't your commander come to greet us? Don't you know that the Holy Maiden has come in person?"

"According to the messenger, the commander-in-chief is seriously ill and unable to get up. He is currently in the camp."

Deng Mao cupped his hands in apology and said, "The commander-in-chief specifically instructed me to explain this to the divine envoy and the holy maiden. Please forgive them."

Jia Dong remained silent, turning his head to glance at the direction of Zhang Ning's carriage behind him.

"It's alright, let's go in."

Zhang Ning's voice came from inside the carriage.

Deng Mao, who had been looking down, suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Although Deng Mao couldn't see Zhang Ning himself inside the carriage, he could tell from the voice that it was indeed Zhang Ning sitting inside.

Fearing further complications, Deng Mao immediately straightened up and waved to his men behind him.

"Please invite the Holy Maiden to the camp."

The numerous Yellow Turban soldiers behind them immediately made way for the camp gate.

Deng Mao winked at Bian Xi, who was standing to the side, and Bian Xi quickly got up and made way for him.

Riding on his horse, Jia Dong shook the reins in his hand and then walked towards the gate of the Youzhou camp.

Next came Zhang Ning's carriage, and Duan Yu and others disguised as Yellow Turban warriors.

After the group entered the camp, Deng Mao immediately signaled his men to close the camp gate, and then quickly followed Zhang Ning's carriage.
