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

Longshan is only about ten miles away from Jinyang City.

Before noon, Duan Yu and his group had already entered the mountains.

Spring sunshine bathes the mountains and forests, and the early spring breeze, carrying the breath of all things reviving, blows through the tender green buds on the treetops, piercing the silence of winter.

Deep in the forests of Longshan, Duan Yu and Liu He's group of people were moving through the barley fields.

The county government yamen runners, wielding machetes, cleared the way, leaving a trail of footprints of varying depths.

Tie Shitou led ten men, following behind dozens of yamen runners from the county government.

As Liu He walked, he introduced the bandits in Longshan to Duan Yu.

“Duan Youjiao, the number of bandits in Longshan used to be several hundred, but recently I learned that for some reason, these bandits seem to have split up, and there are only a few dozen left.”

As Liu He walked, he said with a smile, "I've heard that Duan Youjiao is brave enough to shoot tigers and has superb archery skills. With nearly a hundred of us now, plus Duan Youjiao's bravery, I'm sure we can easily capture some of the bandits."

"When Duan You succeeds in suppressing the bandits, he will surely be promoted. Don't forget me then!"

Duan Yu smiled as he stood beside Liu He.

If it weren't for Li Ru, if it weren't for Jia Xu, and if it weren't for the flaws Liu He had revealed in Wucun Township, he might have actually believed it.

but now......

However, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and others were unaware of this.

Therefore, after hearing Liu He's words, they all praised Duan Yu.

"Lord Liu, my brother Duan's archery skills are unparalleled. Not to mention dozens of bandits, even hundreds of them wouldn't be able to get close to my brother Duan."

As he spoke, Tie Shitou mimicked Duan Yu's gesture, aiming his bow with both hands.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, one arrow after another! What bandits and robbers, they will all die by my Brother Duan's arrows!"

"Ah." Liu He was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Good, good, good, then I'll have to have a good look at Duan Youjiao's archery skills later."

..........

Time passes minute by minute.

As the sun gradually sets.

Duan Yu and Liu He's group gradually entered the depths of Longshan.

At this moment, the group slowed down at the signal of the person leading the way.

Liu He also lowered his voice and said to Duan Yu, "Duan Youjiao, there is a cliff ahead called the Cliff of Despair."

"The bandits' camp in Longshan is hidden here."

"We'll sneak up close first, and then launch a surprise attack when it's dark."

"It will definitely be twice as effective with half the effort."

"At that time, Duan Youjiao and I will split into two groups. Duan Youjiao will come from the left, and I will come from the right. We will agree on a time and then charge in together."

"What does Duan Youjiao think?" Liu He asked, looking at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu nodded expressionlessly and said, "It's fine if Liu the scoundrel Cao makes the decision."

Upon hearing this, Liu He smiled and said, "Very well, since Duan Youjiao has no objections, then let's split into two groups and attack together at the agreed time!"

After saying this, Liu He and Duan Yu split into two groups and headed towards the two sides of the Longshan bandit camp, which could be vaguely seen in the distance.

...........

That night.

In the dense forest to the right of the bandit camp in Longshan.

Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, and more than twenty young men from the village were all eager to fight, sitting quietly in the woods with straight knives in their hands.

Duan Yu sat cross-legged under a large tree, with the precious carved bow given to him by Dong Yi on his lap.

"Dong Zhuo."

Duan Yu leaned against a tree, rubbing his eyebrows.

He still approves of Dong Yi.

He has vision, a broad mind, and a strong sense of loyalty.

But he never expected that Dong Yi was actually Dong Zhuo's daughter.

Dong Zhuo...

how to say.

Perhaps influenced by later literature and film, people's preconceived notions about Dong Zhuo are certainly not very positive.

From the perspective of the observer, there is always a side of justice and a side of evil.

Dong Zhuo undoubtedly represents evil.

But he is now caught in the middle of it.

Although the time travel was short, what they saw was a bloody and realistic world.

From your own perspective, there is no right or wrong.

It's simply a matter of being forced into a corner.

No one wants to end up with a reputation that will be condemned for eternity.

No one intended to wreak havoc on the world from the very beginning.

But no matter what, if he really became Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, the pressure would be immense.

But then again, we have to go back to the point.

If we were to choose the best son-in-law among the warlords like Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian, then...

Then it really must be Dong Zhuo.

Firstly, there's a prerequisite that these feudal lords couldn't compare to.

Dong Zhuo had no sons.

Only daughter.

It is said that Dong Zhuo had a son, but he must have died young, leaving behind only a daughter, Dong Bai.

Without a son, there will be no heir in the future.

None of Dong Zhuo's relatives were outstanding, so naturally none of them could inherit Dong Zhuo's power base.

This is one of the reasons why Dong Zhuo's forces immediately fell apart after his death.

Therefore, the position of this son-in-law is of paramount importance.

Why did Niu Fu have so many talented people under his command?

In terms of ability, Niu Fu is definitely not good enough; he's timid and afraid of trouble.

But look at Niu Fu's subordinates.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Jia Xu, Zhang Ji...

In terms of the power of Dong Zhuo's generals, Niu Fu could be said to have held a trump card.

To put it another way, Dong Zhuo had high hopes for Niu Fu.

Unfortunately, Niu Fu was a hopeless case.

Dong Zhuo had no successor and could only place his hopes on his son-in-law, which shows his predicament.

Let's talk about the forces under his command.

Why was Dong Zhuo able to suppress the warlords and the court officials in the early stages?

The real reason was that Dong Zhuo became terrifyingly powerful after entering Luoyang.

Moreover, it was still in a state of not being fully developed at that time.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Hu Zhen, Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Duan Wei, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Li Ru, Jia Xu, Lü Bu, and his eight generals.

If this combination is fully developed, coupled with the strong armies of Liangzhou and Bingzhou, who can rival it?

But......

If Dong Yiruo were truly Dong Zhuo's daughter, she certainly wouldn't have been a concubine.

What about Diao Chan?

The more he thought about it, the more his head ached.

He shook his head, trying to clear the jumbled thoughts from his mind.

Duan Yu looked up at the moonlight in the sky.

Thinking about these things in the future is pointless now.

The immediate issue needs to be addressed.

"Brother Duan, it's almost time," Tie Shitou whispered from the side.

Duan Yu stood up, leaning against the big tree, and nodded.

As Duan Yu stood up, the village youths scattered around him also gripped their straight swords and raised their shields.

However, Duan Yu's next words surprised everyone.

"Stone, Tiger Slave, without my order, no one is to act without permission. All of you stay where you are."

Duan Yu spoke to Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu.

"what?"

The two were taken aback, then looked at each other.

"Brother Duan, we...we can do it, we're not afraid!"

"Brother Duan, I..."

Duan Yu waved his hand, interrupting Tie Shitou.

Seeing Tie Shitou's anxious expression, Duan Yu knew they had misunderstood.

"You've misunderstood. It's not that I'm not letting you follow me to kill the thieves."

"But before I kill the thieves, I have some things to do, so you all just wait here quietly."

"Oh, oh, oh." Tie Shitou nodded hurriedly.

After giving a few instructions, Duan Yu's figure flashed and disappeared into the dark forest.
