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

Since Duan Yu rose to power, the first beneficiary was Diao Chan's hometown.

Of course, this is also closely related to the help and investment that Wucun Township provided to Duan Yu before he became successful.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qing'an, Liu Baitu, and more than forty others who joined Duan Yu's ranks earliest are now capable of standing alone.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu were captains of Duan Yu's personal guards.

The troops under his command were the most elite force under Liangzhou.

Chen Qing'an, on the other hand, rose to the position of Commandant of a prefecture.

Although nominally a county commandant, one rank lower than the prefect, everyone in Liangzhou knew that Chen Qing'an was Duan Yu's top general.

There is no other, it is number one.

The importance of Liu Baitu needs no further explanation.

As time went on, the terrifying infiltration of the Military Affairs Bureau, in terms of intelligence and surveillance, made everyone in Liangzhou feel like they had a thorn in their side.

There are also more than forty young men who came from the countryside, and now they are all junior officers, many of whom have already reached the rank of colonel.

In addition, after Duan Yu left Wucun Township, he left behind the production of white paper and snow salt.

All the villagers then went to work in the factory.

Take Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu's family members as examples; they are now all working as small managers in the factory.

Now, all the villages near Jinyang County are proud to have their daughters marry into Wucun Township.

Once you marry into Wucun Township, you'll almost never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life.

Every young man working at the white paper and snow salt factories has no trouble finding a wife.

If a young person from another village can get a job in a factory in Wucun Township, that's considered a success.

In just over a year, the entire Wucun Township has expanded several times over.

Duan Yu's return this time caused a sensation throughout the entire Wucun Township.

At this time, the Liangzhou troops led by Duan Yu were stationed outside Wucun Township.

The surrounding villagers felt a deep sense of pride upon seeing the strong and well-equipped Liangzhou army.

Especially when Duan Yu rode the Crimson Dragon Cloud-Treading Beast and led the Flying Bear Cavalry back to the village to visit the parents of Tie Shitou and the others, the scene was even more lively than during the New Year.

Tie Shitou and the others' parents and relatives couldn't stop smiling all day.

Because Diao Chan's aunt was in poor health, she had to stay in Jinyang because the journey to Liangzhou was long and arduous.

Although there were maids and servants to take care of her, the relatives of Tie Shitou and others took turns looking after Diao Chan.

Although the houses in Jinyang County were nice, Aunt Diaochan still preferred Wucun Township, so she lived there.

When Duan Yu returned this time, he also visited Diao Chan's aunt.

In a sense, it was a triumphant return to one's hometown.

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

Inside the central command tent of the Liangzhou military camp.

At this moment, all the generals gathered.

Duan Yu, dressed in black armor, sat upright in the main seat inside the tent.

On both sides stood civil and military officials.

The four people on the bottom left are Jia Xu, Li Ru, Cheng Yu, and Liu Baitu, arranged in that order.

The generals who remained in the army at this time are located in the lower right position.

In addition, Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who had left Yingchuan, also returned to their military tent.

Gao Shun, Qu Yi, Lü Bu, Hua Xiong, Zhao Yun, Zhao Feng, and others stood in order to Duan Yu's right.

Zhang Xiu and Hao Zhao were still on the Yellow Turban Army's side, responsible for protecting Zhang Ning.

Two letters were placed in front of Duan Yu.

One letter was brought from Liangzhou by Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

Another document was an imperial edict sent from Luoyang.

Both letters have been opened.

Duan Yu also finished reading the above content.

After glancing at everyone in the camp, Duan Yu pointed to the first letter.

"Let's talk about Liangzhou first."

Duan Yu pointed to the first letter and said, "The Prefect of Jincheng County, Gai Xun, wrote that starting in August, the Western Qiang, Xiutu, and Huangzhong Yicong of Wuwei County began to gather troops."

"And they repeatedly plundered the autumn harvest fields of Jincheng County."

“Zhang Xun, the Commandant of Jincheng County, and Zhang Liao, the Protector of the Qiang, sent troops many times, but they did not achieve any victory.”

"They always manage to escape."

“The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and the Western Qiang people who have gathered from Wuwei County will surely be thrown into chaos.”

Duan Yu turned his gaze to Jia Xu and Li Ru.

Both men were from Liangzhou and were very familiar with the situation and circumstances there.

Li Ru had followed Dong Zhuo in Liangzhou for many years, and Jia Xu had participated in all the major events in Liangzhou last year.

At present, the two of them should have the clearest understanding of the situation in Liangzhou.

As for Cheng Yu, he was not in Liangzhou and knew little about what was happening there.

Historically, just after the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended, a large-scale rebellion broke out in Liangzhou.

Under the leadership of Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, and others, the Eastern Qiang and Western Qiang occupied almost the entire territory of Liangzhou.

They even reached as far as the Three Auxiliary Regions.

Although he had basically conquered the Western Qiang in Jincheng, Hanyang and Longxi counties last year.

However, there are still large numbers of Western Qiang people in Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and other places.

Moreover, Beigong Boyu, the instigator, also fled to Wuwei.

“This rebellion in Liangzhou should have been started by the Huangzhong Righteous Army led by Beigong Boyu,” Jia Xu said quietly. “If we want to solve the Qiang problem in Liangzhou, we must first deal with Beigong Boyu and the Huangzhong Righteous Army.”

"but......"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Since the decline of the Han Dynasty, the Western Qiang people in Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang blocked the Han Dynasty's route to the Western Regions."

"Now that the military commander is promoting mulberry planting and silkworm breeding, if we can open up the road to the Western Regions, we can reconnect with the Western Regions."

"On the one hand, we can regain control of the Western Regions, and on the other hand, we can export silk to the Western Regions for trade."

Duan Yu nodded slightly after hearing this.

That's exactly what he was thinking.

The route to the Western Regions was reopened, and the territory of the Western Regions was incorporated into Liangzhou.

However, that will have to wait until he returns to Liangzhou.

The troops in Liangzhou are still somewhat stretched thin.

It's enough to be able to passively defend and avoid being ambushed by Beigong Boyu.

We still need to wait until the million Yellow Turban rebels enter Liangzhou, then add troops to Liangzhou and carry out a new round of cleansing of the Western Qiang in Zhangye, Wuwei, Jiuquan and other places.

"This is an imperial edict."

Duan Yu looked at the second letter on the table and said, "The Emperor has issued an edict ordering me to return to Luoyang. It is said to be related to the trial of my father-in-law in Jizhou."

As soon as Duan Yu finished speaking, everyone in the tent was shocked.

The imperial edict ordered him to return to Luoyang?

this......

Isn't this a joke?

There is no reason for a general who is leading troops in battle to be recalled at will.

The situation on the battlefield can change in an instant; a moment of carelessness could lead to the annihilation of an entire army.

Recall the commander-in-chief?

What is this operation?

unless......

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Li Ru all looked solemn.

Unless someone in the court is causing trouble, or the emperor has doubts.

Otherwise, such an order would never be sent to the front lines of two armies engaged in a major battle.

but......

But then again.

It's no wonder the imperial court had some doubts.

In fact, when the decision was made to move a million Yellow Turbans from Jizhou to Liangzhou, all sorts of possible events had already been listed.

This includes issues of suspicion and framing within the court, as well as the emperor's distrust.

The fact that a million Yellow Turban rebels migrated from Jizhou to Liangzhou was itself quite unusual.

Moreover, there are still many questions surrounding this.

What did the million Yellow Turban rebels eat on their journey, and where did their provisions come from?

Why didn't the Liangzhou army report this matter to the imperial court in advance, given that they were following behind a million Yellow Turban soldiers?

These are all points of suspicion.

If anyone raises such a question, the emperor will inevitably become suspicious.

Not to mention the vast majority of the civil and military officials, who, to put it bluntly, were political enemies of the Liangzhou faction.

Yuan Wei, Yang Ci, the Qingliu faction, the gentry...

These people did not have a good relationship with the Liangzhou faction.

It only takes a sentence or two to arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Duan Yu took a deep breath and said, "I have decided to go to Luoyang tonight and return as soon as possible."

"As for military affairs, they will be jointly managed by Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Cheng Yu until I return."

"The Yellow Turban Army can proceed slowly westward."

A trip to Luoyang is a must.

The million Yellow Turban rebels needed an excuse to invade Liangzhou.

Only by presenting a face-to-face meeting with Liu Hong could they obtain permission for a million Yellow Turban rebels to enter Liangzhou.

Furthermore, his father-in-law, Dong Zhuo, was still in Luoyang.

Therefore, this trip to Liangzhou was a must for him.

He also wanted to see who else, besides Yang Ci and Yuan Wei, was secretly trying to undermine him behind his back.
