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

Since Duan Yu took over the command of the patrol, he has gathered forty young men from nearby villages.

no more, no less.

Exactly forty people.

In fact, far more people want to follow him than that number.

But he only selected forty people.

Ten people per team.

The team was led by Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Chen Qingan, and Liu Baitu.

Everything should be done in moderation.

Forty men is already the limit he can control. If there are more, things will get chaotic. Moreover, the key to an army is quality, not quantity.

These forty people are equivalent to the first batch of students he is currently training at the Whampoa Military Academy.

In the future, if the world truly descends into chaos, these forty people will be the seeds he sowed, which could grow into four thousand, or even forty thousand.

But there's a prerequisite: these forty people must be loyal to him, just like Tie Shitou and the others.

And it is 100% loyal.

To this end, he spared no expense in crafting weapons for these young people, training them with Gao Shun, and providing them with assistance.

This is the limit he can achieve at this stage.

He's just a guerrilla now, not a general.

Perhaps he can proceed with the next step of his plan once he becomes a general.

Gao Shun's ability to train troops is beyond doubt.

Although Gao Shun had never been exposed to these things before.

But some people are born with a special talent.

Gao Shun is that kind of person.

They were born with this talent.

In addition, his personality also contributed to Gao Shun's talent in training troops.

Gao Shun is straightforward and somewhat stubborn, and his meticulousness in doing things borders on obsessive-compulsive.

This slightly flawed personality trait ironically complemented his talent for training troops.

Normally, Tie Shitou and the others are always laughing and joking, but as soon as they see Gao Shun, it's as if one thing can subdue another, and they immediately become honest and obedient.

With Duan Yu's imposing presence suppressing them, Gao Shun truly punished the men to the point of near death.

Only ten days or so have passed.

Now, when Tie Shitou and the others stood together, they exuded a kind of discipline that Duan Yu found familiar, a disciplined quality reminiscent of the armies of later generations.

The 44-person team was neat and uniform, with standard movements.

Duan Yu nodded with a satisfied smile.

Although this team of forty-four is only in its initial stages, its combat effectiveness is already evident.

Moreover... it's time to take them out and test their combat capabilities.

"time to eat!"

Diao Chan stood in front of a house in the distance and waved her arm at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu turned around, smiled and nodded, then turned to Gao Shun and said, "Alright, everyone disperse and let's eat."

Holding up two flags, Gao Shun glanced at Duan Yu with a deadpan expression, as if he hadn't heard a thing.

"Stand at attention for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Anyone who moves around will have their meal reduced by half."

Duan Yu: "......."

Goodness gracious.

I was just praising you to myself for ages, and you turn around and slap me in the face.

Duan Yu's old face fell.

Diao Chan smiled and came to Duan Yu, saying, "Husband, Boping is really working hard in training the troops."

“Look at Shi Tou and the others, they’ve become much more organized in their work after only a few days.”

“He used to be terrified of Boping, but now he even walks like he does during training.”

Duan Yu nodded, "That's true."

"This guy is great in every way, except for his stubborn temper."

Diao Chan smiled, then stepped forward and waved to Gao Shun.

“Boping, come here.”

Gao Shun had just raised the command flag in his hand, but when he heard Diao Chan calling him, he thought for a moment and then put it down, and then came to Diao Chan's side.

Diao Chan looked Gao Shun up and down, then pointed to his somewhat tattered clothes and said, "Go eat, and take off your clothes later. They're all torn and you're still wearing them. What girl would like someone dressed like that?"

“You’re not young anymore. I’ve introduced you to a few girls in the village. Go and take a look later.”

"Only by finding a good family, settling down, and establishing a career can one achieve stability and become sensible."

"Also, if you have a girl you like, take her to your mother's house to meet her and tell her you're getting married."

As Diao Chan finished speaking, Gao Shun lowered his head further and further.

Duan Yu twitched the corner of his mouth.

I couldn't help but sigh; sometimes fate is just that amazing.

Historically, both Gao Shun and Chen Gong had strong opinions about Diao Chan.

But now.

There's a saying that goes, "One thing subdues another," and that's where this idea comes from.

Gao Shun feared neither heaven nor earth, but he held Diao Chan in the highest esteem.

This story begins when Gao Shun moved here.

Gao Shun originally buried his mother in a wasteland.

However, after arriving in Wucun Township, worshiping became very inconvenient.

It was Diao Chan who stepped in and moved Gao Shun's mother's grave to Wucun Township, and then asked the villagers to repair it properly.

Gao Shun was extremely filial, and for him, this was a great favor.

So Gao Shun then recognized Diao Chan as his elder sister in front of his mother's coffin.

As the eldest sister is like a mother, Gao Shun naturally dared not disobey Diao Chan's words.

When he looked up, Gao Shun wiped the corner of his eye.

Then he waved a command flag behind him: "Dismissed."

A cheer immediately erupted from behind.

...........

evening.

The village, which had been busy all day, returned to peace.

Oil lamps were lit in every household, and wisps of smoke rose from the rooftops.

Spring plowing is in full swing, and the year's plan hinges on spring plowing.

Villagers carrying farming tools returned home from the fields, relieved of the day's fatigue.

Houshan, Wucun Township.

Wearing a black long robe and with his hair neatly combed, Gao Shun was walking towards a grave, holding paper money for burning in his hands.

The area around the cemetery was flat, and the high mounds of earth were free of weeds.

The blue stone tablet was also wiped clean.

In front of the stone tablet, there were also a few yellow flowers, a bowl of rice, and two side dishes.

Gao Shun, who had just arrived at the grave, froze and stopped in his tracks upon seeing the scene before him.

Turning my head to look to the side, I instantly understood.

Not far from Gao Shun's mother's grave, there are two other graves, which are the graves of Diao Chan's parents.

Looking at the neatly cleaned graves, Gao Shun knew who had done it.

Put down the paper money you're burning.

Gao Shun knelt down before his mother's grave.

"Mother, your unfilial son has come to see you."

Kneeling before the grave, I lit the paper money for burning.

Gao Shun's nose felt sore.

"The son is incompetent, causing his mother to suffer along with him, and she contracted an illness that ultimately could not be cured."

"Even on his deathbed, he was still on his mother's mind."

"Your son is unfilial."

"Mother, I am well now. Thanks to the Lord's shelter, life is not as hard as before."

"Eldest sister Diaochan also cares about her son very much, and in a couple of days she will take him to a blind date."

“After my son gets married, he will bring his wife to see his mother.”

As Gao Shun spoke, he sat down on the ground, looking down at the village below the mountain.

Looking at the courtyard that was gradually expanding in his line of sight, Gao Shun revealed a wise smile.

Previously, he was unable to protect his former home.

Now, he has the ability.

Therefore, even if it takes all our strength, we must protect this family.
