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

Ji County.

The governor's residence, the inner quarters.

At noon, Duan Yu, dressed in a black robe, was pacing anxiously outside the gate of Suhe Villa.

Outside the courtyard, standing beside Duan Yu were Dong Yi, Diao Chan, Zhen Jiang, Zhang Ning, and Bian Shi.

The gate to the villa was slightly ajar, and the maids inside were busy carrying in basins of hot water, only to bring out basins of blood-stained water.

Besides the women, a young man was also standing outside the courtyard.

Suhe's younger brother, Huchuquan.

Having been in Liangzhou for over a year, Hu Chuquan now looks more like a Han Chinese, except for his appearance and attire, and he has also become more mature.

Compared to when he was in Jinyang, his eyes now held a newfound composure.

In the past year and a half, Huchuquan, relying on the Xiongnu people's expertise in herding and the fact that he had three thousand Xiongnu loyal followers under his command, had taken over the work of raising warhorses under Duan Yu's command.

Liangzhou was famous for its warhorses and was also a horse farm where the Han Dynasty bred warhorses.

Huchuquan was a Xiongnu, so he was very familiar with herding.

Duan Yu then made the best use of everyone's talents.

In the year and a half that followed, with Duan Yu's support, the Southern Xiongnu developed extremely rapidly.

Duan Yu transported a considerable amount of grain and weapons from Bingzhou to the Southern Xiongnu.

Of course, the aid to the Southern Xiongnu was not given for no reason.

The Xianbei rose to power by stepping over the corpses of the Southern Xiongnu.

Previously, Duan Yu killed the Xianbei Chanyu Kui Tou.

But the Xianbei did not collapse as a result.

On the contrary, Budugen, who succeeded Kuitou, showed the same great talent and ambition as Tanshihuai.

The divided Xianbei people were showing signs of unifying.

Duan Yu and Budugen were mortal enemies, sharing the same hatred as the Xianbei for killing their brother.

A great fire set Tanhan Mountain ablaze, burning countless Xianbei people to death.

Therefore, Duan Yu absolutely could not allow the Xianbei to continue to grow stronger.

But he is currently in Liangzhou, and his influence is out of reach.

So they came up with the idea of ​​using the Xiongnu to subdue the Xianbei.

Although the effect is not very obvious, it is still somewhat useful.

At the very least, this would prevent the two overlords of the northern grasslands of the Han Dynasty from uniting.

At this moment, Hu Chuquan, who was standing next to Duan Yu, also had a face full of worry.

"Don't worry, your sister will be fine."

Duan Yu looked at Hu Chuquan beside him and said comfortingly.

Hu Chuquan nodded vigorously.

Xiongnu women were naturally strong, and even in the Xiongnu environment, they were able to give birth smoothly, let alone now that their family conditions are much better.

Among Duan Yu's many women, Su He's body was considered the best.

No sooner had Duan Yu finished speaking than a loud baby's cry came from inside the room.

gave birth!

Duan Yu's face immediately lit up with joy, and he lifted his foot to walk into the courtyard.

But as soon as he took a step, Dong Yi, dressed in a purple robe and looking even more dignified, stopped him with her hand: "Husband, you cannot enter. When a woman gives birth, there is a bloody and ominous aura. It is not advisable for a man to enter."

"Yes, my husband."

The increasingly charming and alluring Diao Chan also spoke softly.

Seeing the two women trying to stop him, Duan Yu could only nod.

Soon after, the female doctor and maidservants from the villa came out of the room carrying a baby wrapped in animal skin.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency! Congratulations on the birth of your young master!"

"Congratulations, Your Excellency! Congratulations on the birth of your young master!"

"The young master, his wife, and their child are all safe and sound."

Duan Yu smiled and reached out to take his youngest son, who was wrapped in animal skin, from the female doctor's hands.

She has fair skin, deep-set eyes, and a small, straight nose; her appearance is more like Su Shi's.

The Xiongnu people did not have a unified bloodline, unlike the Han people.

The Xiongnu were further divided into the Southern Xiongnu and the Northern Xiongnu.

The Southern Xiongnu people were more similar in appearance to the Han Chinese.

The Northern Xiongnu, on the other hand, were closer to Europeans.

For example, the History of the Northern Dynasties records that the Kang people had "deep-set eyes, high noses, and long beards," while the Book of Jin records that the Jie people had "high noses, deep-set eyes, and long beards."

However, Suhe was born into a Xiongnu noble family, and her bloodline, appearance, and physique were more like those of Europeans and Americans.

"Congratulations, my husband."

"Congratulations, my husband."

Dong Yi led the way, kneeling beside Duan Yu to offer his congratulations.

Diao Chan, Zhen Jiang, Zhang Ning, and Lady Bian all knelt down.

The surrounding maids also knelt on the ground and congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Your Excellency."

Duan Yu happily held his youngest son, then waved his sleeve with his other hand: "Rewards! Every servant in the manor will receive a reward of one hundred coins, the maid who delivered the baby will receive a reward of one thousand coins, and the female doctor will receive a reward of ten thousand coins."

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

Time flies, and it's already afternoon.

After visiting Suhe, Duan Yu returned to the front yard to begin his work.

The autumn harvest is in full swing in Liangzhou, and there are still many matters to be handled, such as collecting silkworm silk.

After resting for more than half a month, Duan Yu has also returned to work.

"My Lord".

Outside the study, Tie Shitou's voice rang out.

Duan Yu, who was holding a calligraphy brush, looked up at the sound.

"what's up?"

"My lord, Mr. Wenyou has sent someone here, saying that it is a member of the Huang family of Jiuquan who wishes to meet with you."

Oh?

Duan Yu raised an eyebrow.

The Huang family of Jiuquan.

Isn't that the Huang family from Jiuquan on Liu Baitu's Book of Life and Death?

Why are they here?

They offered it to us willingly?

Not likely.

"Tell the messenger to handle it himself, and then come back and report to me." Duan Yu lowered his head and continued writing.

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

Inside the Ji County government building.

Li Ru, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai were standing around a huge sand table.

The sand table is a huge topographical map of Liangzhou, which also includes a part of the Sanfu region, as well as the topographical map of the entire Western Regions.

On the sand table, there were small black banners, each about the size of a finger.

The next battle for Liangzhou is to attack the Western Regions; this is already a strategy Duan Yu has decided upon.

Opening up the Hexi Corridor is Liangzhou's main operational direction going forward.

As the United Front Work Department and the General Staff Department are responsible for planning war routes and logistical supplies, and preparing for war in advance.

That's why everyone gathered together to discuss how to fight.

The Western Regions were different from the Yellow Turban rebels.

The Yellow Turban rebels were a complete mob.

There were no supplies, no baggage, and no equipment.

But the kingdoms of the Western Regions were different.

They are a nation.

Although the country is small, the number of its troops is also small.

But we still need to plan it out carefully.

Moreover, this was the first major mission for Xi Zhicai and Xun You, so they couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

Duan Yu had no intention of personally participating in this campaign against the Western Regions.

The main reason was to give these generals some individual experience.

Li Ru, who was standing by the sand table, heard the reply from Duan Yu's messenger.

"Is the Lord not here?" Li Ru asked.

The messenger nodded and said, "Commander Tie said that the Lord's original words were for Wen You and others to handle the matter themselves, and the Lord will not meet with the Huang family."

Li Ru glanced at the few people standing around the sand table.

Several people looked at each other.

"If you ask me, just kill them," Cheng Yu said, frowning. "A bunch of scoundrels, keeping them alive will only cause more trouble."

Li Ru twitched the corner of his mouth.

With his hands tucked into his sleeves, Jia Xu said, "Let's call them over and see what they're up to. Maybe we can squeeze something out of them before they die."

"Agreed." Li Ru nodded.

Before long, the group arrived at the main hall of the county government.

The messenger stood in the hall, unable to see Li Ru, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu, and for a moment his eyes were somewhat blank.

"Gentlemen... which one is the governor?" Suo Shao asked, looking at Li Ru and the others.

Li Ru calmly sat down in his seat, glanced at Suo Shao, and said, "How can a lord like you be seen by just anyone?"

"Explain your purpose first, and we will naturally convey it to Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Suo Shao nodded and said, "That's right. My name is Suo Shao, of the Longle Suo clan. My father is Suo, the Prefect of Dongping..."

"Wait a minute." Li Ru frowned and said, "Just tell us why you're here. We're not interested in your name, we didn't ask you to state your purpose."

Suo Shao's expression froze.

He then turned his head and muttered to himself, "They really are all just wild, uncouth men..."

After turning his head, Suo Shao explained his purpose.

"My master, Huang Jun, the Prefect of Wuwei County, wishes to invite Your Excellency the Governor for a meeting. There is also a letter here, please give it to Your Excellency the Governor as well."
