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

On the hillside, Zhang Rao, who had just escaped here, watched Cao Cao riding his horse toward the entrance of the main camp without any panic.

Instead, he looked like he was watching a show, with a smile on his lips.

"Now that you're here, leaving isn't going to be that easy, hmph."

As Zhang Rao spoke, he pulled a secret letter from his pocket.

As he spoke, Zhang Rao tore the secret letter in his hand into pieces and waved them into the air.

Fragments of paper danced in the wind and then slowly fell to the ground, just like the paper money scattered before the coffin was placed in the burial chamber.

"Cao Cao, you never dreamed that the secret letter you sent to Liu Bei would be intercepted by me."

"Hmph." Zhang Rao sneered and said, "First, you collect a million Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou, then break us down into smaller groups and disperse us to various places, and then eliminate us one by one."

"Do you really think we're all fools, letting you do whatever you want with us?"

"If I hadn't intercepted your secret letter beforehand, I probably would have already fallen for your trap."

Zhang Rao looked smugly at Cao Cao, who was fleeing.

Just last night.

The soldiers on patrol apprehended a suspicious-looking man at the location of Dazhai.

The man was then brought before Zhang Rao.

After some questioning, the man claimed to be Cao Cao's subordinate, who was on his way to deliver a message to Liu Bei.

The letter contained Cao Cao's plan: to gather a million Yellow Turban rebels from Qingzhou, then disperse them to various places, then wipe out their leaders one by one, and finally incorporate the Yellow Turban rebels of Qingzhou into his own forces.

Moreover, the man said that he planned to first offer them high-ranking positions and generous salaries to entice them to surrender, and then proceed with the next step.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rao immediately made a decision.

Strike first to gain the upper hand.

Wasn't Cao Cao trying to persuade them to surrender?

Okay, then he'll just surrender.

No, it should be called a feigned surrender.

Although the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou numbered a million, Cao Cao only had 30,000 troops.

However, if Cao Cao were to hold the southern Wuyang, the million Yellow Turban rebels of Qingzhou would be trapped in Mengshan and unable to escape.

Even a million strong army could not defeat Cao Cao's 30,000 troops.

Since that's the case, it would be better to lure Cao Cao out first and then kill him.

Once the Yanzhou army is leaderless, they will naturally have the opportunity to continue advancing towards Yanzhou and plunder everywhere.

Otherwise, these million Yellow Turbans would scatter in no time.

"Cao Cao, you have nowhere to escape. This is the burial ground I have prepared for you!"

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

Inside the large camp, Cao Cao, riding on his steed Jueying, rushed rapidly toward the camp gate.

The Yellow Turban Army, howling and shouting, surrounded them from all sides.

Dian Wei followed behind, fighting valiantly.

Beside Cao Cao were Xiahou Dun and the few dozen remaining personal guards and cavalry.

As Cao Cao approached the gate of the main camp, he saw Cao Ren leading a large army to attack the camp gate.

"Zixiao, save me quickly!" Cao Cao raised his arm and shouted loudly towards the outside of the camp.

However, just as Cao Cao finished speaking...

Suddenly, a tripwire sprang up from the ground.

On Cao Cao's left and right sides, dozens of Yellow Turban rebels pulled hard on the tripwires.

Caught off guard, Cao Cao had no time to react, and his horse, Jueying, was immediately tripped up by the tripwire.

Xiahou Dun and dozens of cavalrymen who were following closely behind Cao Cao were also tripped up one after another.

Dust billowed and warhorses neighed mournfully.

"grown ups!"

Dian Wei, who was about twenty meters behind Cao Cao, was extremely anxious upon seeing this scene.

However, the Yellow Turban rebels chasing from both sides and behind gave Dian Wei no chance to catch his breath.

They swarmed forward and relentlessly harassed Dian Wei with their spears.

Even though Dian Wei wielded his short halberd with impenetrable skill, swiftly cutting down the spears that were thrusting at him, he couldn't withstand the increasing number of Yellow Turban rebels surrounding him.

In the distance, on the ground, Cao Cao, who had been thrown to his death and was still dazed, clutched his forehead and struggled to his feet, leaning on his sword.

However, Cao Cao had just stood up when he felt something stabbing him from behind.

puff!

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment.

Then he looked down at his chest.

A sharpened wooden stick, stained with crimson blood, emerged from his chest.

Cao Cao turned his head and saw a young man, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a yellow turban wrapped around his head, holding a long stick in his hand, and a trace of fear on his face.

"Brother!"

Xiahou Dun roared and raised his sword to strike the young man.

The frightened young man didn't react at all.

He was struck directly on the neck and shoulder by Xiahou Dun's furious blade.

This was Xiahou Dun's furious strike.

It split the young man's body in half.

The young man's face showed pain, confusion, and panic.

puff!

one more time.

This time it's from Cao Cao's front.

An iron fork used for sticking grass pierced through Cao Cao's chest again.

"what!"

Xiahou Dun frantically swung his long sword around in all directions like a madman.

Pfft!

Cao Cao knelt on the ground.

Fresh blood trickled from the corners of his chest and mouth.

"cough......"

The blood gushing from the shattered internal organs choked his lungs.

Large mouthfuls of blood gushed from Cao Cao's mouth.

The scene before my eyes instantly turned blood red.

"Brother, brother!"

Xiahou Dun rushed to Cao Cao and grabbed his shoulders with both hands: "Brother, hold on! I'll lead you out of here! I'll lead you out of here!"

With reddened eyes, Xiahou Dun shouted hoarsely.

Cao Cao grabbed Xiahou Dun by the collar.

"Yuan Rang..."

"Yuan wants you to listen...you listen...you...cough cough...you listen to me!"

"Fight my way out! I can't go on! Fight my way out! Fight my way out alive! Go...go to Liangzhou! Go to Liangzhou to find..."

"Find...find Ziyi..."

"Let Ziyi...let Ziyi avenge me...avenge me!"

"Live, fight your way out!"

"Brother, I'll take you with me!" Xiahou Dun cried as he clung to Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao remained kneeling on the ground without moving, and with a burst of strength from who knows where, he pushed Xiahou Dun far away.

"Fight your way out, get out alive, find Ziyi... avenge me, find Ziyi... avenge me!"

"Take Zixiu with you and go to Liangzhou."

"Go!"

"puff!"

After letting out a loud roar, Cao Cao looked up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ha ha!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly, "If you kill me today, it will surely sow the seeds of your future disaster. I will be waiting for you in the underworld!"

"Brother!"

"grown ups!"

Having broken through the camp gate, Cao Ren galloped wildly toward Cao Cao.

Dian Wei, riddled with arrows and covered in wounds, rushed to Cao Cao's side.

However......

Kneeling on the ground, Cao Cao, whose chest had been pierced from both the front and back, had closed his eyes and was no longer breathing.
