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

Early the next morning, at White Wave Valley.

This place is less than forty li from Fenyang and is adjacent to the Fen River, which flows from Taiyuan County in Bingzhou through Hedong County.

From here, heading north along the Fen River, one can enter Taiyuan County of Bingzhou.

As the rising sun cast its rays upon the east and west banks of the Fen River.

The densely packed White Wave Army began to form "military formations" on both the north and south banks of the Fen River.

Although it was called a military formation, the large army, which had never received regular military training, looked more like a group of refugees crammed together.

The weapons in their hands were also of various kinds.

Only the thousand or so elite soldiers surrounding Guo Tai had uniform weapons and armor.

Since the beginning of last year, Guo Tai has been building up a force in Baibo Valley. Taking advantage of Baibo Valley's geographical advantages and the lack of strong troops in the vicinity of Hedong County and Taiyuan County, the force has gradually grown stronger.

In addition, when Duan Yu was relocating a million Yellow Turbans to Liangzhou, many people were scattered along the way, so Guo Tai's army grew larger and larger.

Yang Feng was leading his troops to garrison in Xi'an on the Fen River at this time, and turned his head to look at Guo Tai and others on the east bank in the distance.

Beside Yang Feng was a young general, about twenty years old, dressed in armor and riding a blue-maned horse.

"General, General Guo ordered us to garrison the west bank, while he, along with Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai, garrisoned the east bank. He's clearly afraid we'll compete for credit."

Wu Xi looked towards the east bank with indignation and said, "Even if Duan Yu goes in this direction, he will definitely go along the east bank of the Fen River. The road there is wide and there is no need to cross the river. There is no reason for him to go along the west bank."

"General Guo left us here, clearly to prevent the general from stealing the credit."

Yang Feng smiled without saying a word, and I shook my head.

Yang Feng was well aware of Guo Tai's intentions in doing so.

As a general of the White Wave Army, Guo Tai must have been quite dissatisfied with the imperial court's rewards yesterday.

Guo Tai was the leader of the White Wave Army and was granted the title of Loyal General, while he was also granted the title of Loyal and Righteous General.

However, Guo Tai didn't seem to understand that whether it was the Loyal General or the Righteous General, they were just generals with miscellaneous titles.

He was no match for those generals who had conquered four regions and governed four provinces, covering all directions, as well as other high-ranking generals.

He just didn't reveal that yesterday.

Guo Tai wanted to capture Duan Yu on his own and claim the credit so that Yuan Ji would recommend him as the governor of Liangzhou.

That's just wishful thinking.

Mrs. Guo was naive; she really thought Yuan Ji would recommend him as the governor of Liangzhou.

What are you thinking about?

"General, how about... I secretly lead a troop across the river?" Wu Xi tentatively whispered, "When Duan Yu arrives, we can launch a surprise attack..."

"Need not......"

Before Wu Xi could finish speaking, Yang Feng waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Since General Guo has already made the arrangements, we will simply follow his orders. There's no need for any further trouble."

To achieve merit... the prerequisite is being alive.

"Huh?" Wu Xi was stunned, staring at Yang Feng with wide eyes, not understanding the meaning of those words.

"You think... Duan Yu is so easy to kill?" Yang Feng chuckled.

He wasn't from a peasant background like Guo Tai.

Although he was not a true member of the Hongnong Yang clan, he was still a member of a branch of the Hongnong Yang clan.

It's just that the family fortunes declined and the family business failed.

Joining Guo Tai was simply a way out.

Who is Duan Yu?

"General, surely we tens of thousands of men can't kill Duan Yu?" Wu Xi said incredulously. "Is Duan Yu some kind of god with three heads and six arms?"

Yang Feng didn't explain much to Wu Xi.

Tens of thousands of people?

Tens of thousands of people?

They really think these tens of thousands of people are elite troops in full armor?

Of these tens of thousands of people, how many could gather enough weapons, and how many were wearing armor?

The vast majority are just ordinary farmers carrying hoes and other farming tools.

Who is Duan Yu?

Who were the Liangzhou cavalrymen under his command?

Since Duan Yu rose to power in Jinyang, every major battle he fought was a fierce one.

Duan Yu was able to lead a few hundred cavalrymen and return unscathed from the northern grasslands. Did he really think that the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei were pushovers?

Those are all ruthless bastards who eat people without spitting out the bones.

The entire population was mobilized for war, and all of them were cavalry.

There are also the Qiang people of Liangzhou.

Liangzhou Sanming has spent decades trying to eradicate the Qiang people, but has failed.

Then look at Duan Yu, who defeated the Qiang people in just over a year.

Those Qiang cavalrymen were not like these peasants.

If Duan Yu were really that easy to kill, why would Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's tens of thousands of elite imperial troops follow behind him?

Who gave them the right to steal the credit?

Just you wait and see, we don't even know who will kill whom.

Yang Feng turned his head and looked in the direction of Guo Tai and the others on the east bank.

Staying here is fine. Even if Duan Yu does choose this route, he has no intention of stopping him.

Was Yuan Ji a good person?

not necessarily.

The Yuan family has produced four generations of high-ranking officials. If they were truly such good people, they probably wouldn't have prospered to this day.

To put it bluntly, this is a matter between Duan Yu and the imperial court, and between the Yuan family; he doesn't want to get involved in any of them.

Protecting oneself is the right path.

Yang Feng was thinking about it.

A cloud of dust rose up in the distance, on the south bank of the Fen River.

coming!

Yang Feng tensed up, and his eyes widened immediately.

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

Downstream on the east bank of the Fen River, Duan Yu, riding on Xiao Hei, took the lead, followed by hundreds of heavily armored cavalry from Liangzhou.

Hundreds of cavalrymen and their horses were all wearing armor.

The warhorses were all black warhorses with a shoulder height of seven feet five inches or more.

The cavalrymen's lances gleamed with a sharp, cold light, and beneath their masks were pairs of indifferent eyes.

This heavily armored cavalry unit consists of the elite of the Liangzhou cavalry, with each cavalryman having survived more than ten major battles.

He killed no fewer than a hundred enemies.

Any one of these cavalrymen would be at least a military commander in the rest of the army.

But here, he was just an ordinary cavalryman.

Duan Yu, dressed in dragon-scale golden armor, rode on Xiao Hei's back, holding the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd. Da Hei, carrying a treasured bow and four large quivers, followed closely behind.

The horses' hooves pounded the ground, sending up sand and dust that trembled.

Although they were still far away, Duan Yu could already see the large army blocking the road ahead.

Upon seeing the yellow ribbons tied around the heads of the soldiers blocking the road and the banners, Duan Yu knew exactly who was blocking his way.

White Wave Army.

The White Wave Army of Hedong Commandery.

The Military Intelligence Bureau had already received intelligence and had reported the situation of this White Wave Army to him.

"Is it Yang Feng?"

Duan Yuxuan's gaze, hidden beneath his iron mask, swept across the White Wave Army formation ahead.

Duan Yu of the Bai Bo Army only knew of one person, Yang Feng.

Historically, after accepting the imperial court's offer of amnesty, Yang Feng personally escorted Emperor Xian of Han from Chang'an all the way to Luoyang. He was later appointed General of Chariots and Cavalry, and then went to Xuzhou and Yangzhou, where he was considered a minor warlord.

He was later killed by Liu Bei and his two brothers in Xuzhou.

This guy is quite capable of fighting against the elite troops of Liangzhou led by Li Jue and Guo Si without suffering any damage.

Duan Yu simply didn't know why this guy was here.

But as Duan Yu got closer, he could see the battle flags in front of him more clearly.

The battle flag appears to have the character "郭" (Guo) tattooed on it.

Before Duan Yu could think further, several cavalrymen charged out from the army lying across the front.

Upon arriving at the front lines, he let out a loud shout.

"I am Li Le, a general under General Zhongguo. You traitor Duan Yu, dismount at once..."

Before Li Le could finish speaking, he realized something was wrong.

The thing Duan Yu was riding wasn't a horse.

Hu Cai, who had a full beard, glared at Li Le and said, "Why bother with all that? Just make him dismount and surrender."

"Duan Yu, you traitor, surrender at once..."

Whoosh!

This time, Hu Cai didn't finish his sentence either.

Then, streaks of golden light flew swiftly to Hu Cai's front.

It shot into Hu Cai's open mouth.

Then it burst out from the back of his head, bringing with it a cloud of red and white blood mist.

Pfft!

Hu Cai fell off his horse, landing headfirst.

Li Le stared blankly at Hu Cai lying on the ground, only then noticing that a fist-sized hole had appeared in the back of Hu Cai's head.

The golden beam that blasted Hu Cai didn't stop after passing through his head; instead, it went straight into the body of the soldier behind him.

A series of screams rang out.

what's the situation?

what?

Li Le looked up in Duan Yu's direction and saw that Duan Yu was still in the posture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow.

arrow?

Li Le's eyes widened.

There were at least three hundred steps between them.

Duan Yu shot Hu Cai's head off with an arrow that traveled 300 paces.

Meanwhile, Duan Yu had already pulled three more arrows from Da Hei's body.

A sinister smile curved his lips.

Thief?

He, the dignified Governor of Liangzhou and a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households personally appointed by the Emperor of Han, was called a traitor by a group of Yellow Turban rebels.

This is really interesting.

Why send such a bunch of ragtag soldiers to try and stop him?

As he spoke, Duan Yu drew his bowstring to its full extent.

Then, the three golden arrows in his hand shot out and transformed into three golden rays.

After those three golden lights flashed by, Duan Yu drew out three more golden arrows and shot them out at an extremely fast speed without any pause.

Before Li Le could even react, a golden arrow shot into his left eye and out from the back of his head.

Like Hu Cai, Li Le, whose head had been blown open, collapsed to the ground.

The Yellow Turban soldiers behind the two had no idea what was going on.

All I could see were streaks of golden light flashing by, followed by continuous wails of agony around me.

An arrow will only stop after it has pierced through five or six people.

The densely packed crowd became easy targets that didn't need to be aimed at.

On the west bank of the Fen River, Wu Xi stared wide-eyed, only to see, under the sunlight, what appeared to be golden threads running through the dense crowd on the east bank.

"this......"

"Is Duan Yu a human or a deity?"

Wu Xi swallowed hard, then turned to look at Yang Feng and found that Yang Feng's face showed not only shock but also a smile.

That's like saying, "Thank goodness you didn't go there."
