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

"Damn it, what kind of food is this?!"

At noon, a tall soldier slammed the wooden ladle in his hand into the wooden bucket in front of him, splashing the porridge inside.

It's called porridge, but the rice and water are clearly separated. You can see from the wooden bucket that the meager amount of rice at the bottom barely covers the bottom.

The water was in a full bucket.

The amount of rice scooped out from this bucket of so-called congee water probably wouldn't even fill a single earthenware bowl.

"Two days ago, we had half a bucket of rice to barely survive, yesterday we had a little less than half a bucket, and today we only have this much left. If we have to wait another two days, we might as well just drink water!"

"This scoundrel is inhuman! How dare he treat us like this? I see the Han soldiers eat two meals a day, but this is what we're given?"

The soldier's angry shouts immediately drew the attention of everyone around.

The soldiers who were gathered in the camp preparing for their meal smashed their earthenware bowls on the ground and loudly joined in the commotion.

In just a short while, the noise in the camp was deafening.

"Let's go find the general."

"Yes, let's go and reason with the general!"

"Let's go find the general!"

"Let's go find the general!"

The commotion spread throughout the camp as soldiers crowded together toward the marching tent not far away.

Inside the tent, a young general dressed in black armor also heard the commotion outside the camp and immediately led his guards out of the Xingjun camp.

When the young general walked out of the camp, a large group of soldiers had already gathered outside.

The young general who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down his spine.

The soldiers in the front row were carrying wooden buckets filled with porridge.

Upon arriving at the general's marching camp, he angrily pushed the wooden bucket in his hand to the ground, spilling the porridge onto the ground.

"General, it's not that we're causing trouble, but please look at what we're eating!"

"We fight to the death just for a full stomach, but look at what we're eating now, General!"

Xu Huang, standing in front of the military tent, felt a chill run down his spine.

This is the prelude to a mutiny.

The soldiers' discontent had been building up for several days.

Starting three days ago, the army's food supplies began to dwindle.

If things continue like this, the army will definitely mutiny.

Xu Huang wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

This was the first time he had encountered such a problem.

"General, let's report the situation to General Yang. If this continues, the soldiers will definitely mutini."

"This is what the deputy general behind Xu Huang said."

Xu Huang nodded quickly and then said to the assembled soldiers, "Soldiers, I'm going to find General Yang now, and I will definitely give you an explanation today."

"Don't get agitated, everyone return to your camps."

Xu Huang spread his arms and shouted loudly to the soldiers gathered below.

The assembled soldiers clearly showed no intention of dispersing.

"General, we will wait here today. We will disperse when you have given us an explanation."

The soldier who led the disturbance shouted.

Immediately, countless voices echoed behind him.

Seeing that there was no other way, Xu Huang had no choice but to agree, and then headed towards Yang Feng's camp.

Before long, Xu Huang arrived at Yang Feng's camp.

However, Xu Huang discovered that he wasn't the only one who had arrived at Yang Feng's camp gate.

Almost all the captains of the various armies had arrived outside Yang Feng's Xingjun camp.

Before long, under Yang Feng's orders, Wu Xi, Xu Huang, and a group of captains who led the troops all gathered in Yang Feng's tent.

Inside the military tent, Yang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, facing Xu Huang, Wu Xi, and others.

Beside Yang Feng, Yang Qi, dressed in a black robe, was also present.

"General, the soldiers' emotions are out of control. If this continues, there will be a mutiny in the army, and we will probably be crushed to pieces in the soldiers' anger," Wu Xi said to Yang Feng, spreading his hands.

"Yes, General. The soldiers are just trying to survive by eating, and now they don't even have food to eat."

Xu Huang nodded and said, "General, the Han army is supplying less and less food. The soldiers are starving and their resentment is growing. General, please think of a solution."

"Hey......"

Yang Feng sighed and then slowly turned around.

"Gentlemen, it's not that I don't want to find a solution; I've visited the Grand Commandant many times, but..."

Yang Feng sighed and said, "You've all seen the result."

"But..." Wu Xi pointed towards Hangu Pass in the distance and said, "Why do the generals get two meals a day, while we can't even get enough porridge?"

"They clearly didn't treat us like human beings at all!"

"Yes, the Han army gets two meals a day, but we can't even get porridge!"

"If the Han army had no food, that would be one thing, but since they clearly have food, why aren't they giving it to us!"

Everyone started complaining to Yang.

Yang Feng turned his head and glanced at Yang Qi standing beside him.

Yang Qi nodded slightly.

Three days.

This is enough to fuel resentment within the military.

The time is just right.

If they were to wear them any longer, there would likely be a mutiny within the army.

Now, I'm building up my emotions to the peak, just waiting for the final explosion.

Yang Feng glanced around and then gestured to the people who had stood up.

"Everyone..."

"Now that things have come to this, there is only one way to save everyone and the army."

Yang Feng slowly said, "I have tried every possible solution, and I have even pleaded with them, but they have completely ignored me."

“You are all men who have followed me through thick and thin, as close as brothers.”

"The soldiers in the army are all loyal followers of me, and I cannot bear to see them suffer from hunger."

"We gathered in Baibo Valley because we wanted to have something to eat so we wouldn't starve to death."

When I accepted the imperial amnesty, I thought I would be able to eat my fill and survive, but…”

Yang Feng pointed to Zhang Wen's camp in the distance and said, "But they still don't treat us like human beings."

At this point, a fierce look appeared on Yang Feng's face as he said, "Since they are heartless, they shouldn't blame us for being unjust. I didn't want to do this, but they won't give us a way out!"

"Therefore, I have decided..."

Xu Huang, Wu Xi, and a group of captains in the tent all stared wide-eyed at Yang Feng.

"Therefore, I have decided to rebel!"

hiss!

Everyone in the tent gasped in shock.

With a whoosh, Yang Feng drew his sword from his waist and slammed it into the table in front of him.

The sword's edge pierced through the table and became embedded in the ground.

"Gentlemen, it is not that I am heartless, but that they are unjust!"

“Zhu Jun insulted me and treated us like pigs and dogs. I, Yang Feng, don’t care about myself, but I, Yang Feng, have the lives of 100,000 people on my shoulders. I cannot let everyone who follows me go hungry.”

Yang Feng pointed in the direction of Hangu Pass and said, "The Governor of Liang Province, Marquis Ji, Duan Yu, loves his soldiers like his own children. He traveled a thousand miles alone to avenge his brothers, as you all know."

"So I've decided to cool off here!"

"Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, and we can't force them. Whether you want to follow me or not, I won't force you. Let's make a decision right here today!"

Those who want to cool off with me, stand on the left; those who don't, stand on the right.

Don't worry, I, Yang Feng, am not a despicable person. Even if you don't intend to seek refuge with me, I won't make things difficult for my own brothers. You can rest assured.

"After tonight, I will let you leave."

"Now!"

Yang Feng's gaze swept over everyone, and he said, "The choice is now in your hands!"

"Damn it, what's there to think about!" Wu Xi was the first to stand up and walked directly to Yang Feng's left side, angrily saying, "This humble general has long disliked those Han soldiers. Why do they get to eat while we starve? We might as well rebel. I think Marquis Ji, Duan Yu, is a good man. He's willing to do this for his brothers, so he can't treat his soldiers badly."

"Correct!"

No sooner had Wu Xi finished speaking than someone else stood up and said:

"We all know that the Governor of Liangzhou relocated a million refugees from Jizhou. There are still many Jizhou refugees who fell behind along the way in the army. It is said that all the refugees who went to Liangzhou had food to eat. Marquis Duan Yu of Jizhou truly loves his people like his own children!"

Xu Huang glanced at the people in the tent, and everyone chose to follow Yang Feng.

"We are willing to follow the general!"

After everyone had stood on the left, Yang Feng stepped onto the table and pulled out the sword that was stuck in it.

"Great!" Yang Feng said excitedly, "Since the brothers are all willing to follow me, let's fight for a bright future!"

"My plan is to..."

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

That night.

At Hangu Pass.

Duan Yu and Dong Zhuo stood side by side on the pass wall, looking at the Han army on the opposite bank of the Hongnong River in the distance.

"Damn it, that old dog Zhang Wen is probably going to rebuild Hangu Pass on the other side of the river!" Dong Zhuo cursed, looking at the Han army camp in the distance.

In the distance, the opposite bank of the Hongnong River was brightly lit.

Torches were planted almost everywhere along the banks of the Hongnong River.

More than a dozen towers blocked the only passage across the river, and hundreds of crossbows were all aimed at the direction of Hangu Pass.

Duan Yu gave a wry smile, expressing his helplessness.

It has been almost a month.

He's already resorted to all sorts of insults and tried every possible solution.

But the Han army remained motionless, like turtles.

Zhang Wen seems determined to play defensively and stall for time.

It's harvest time right now, and the weather will soon turn cool.

In another month, it will be winter, and both sides will have no choice but to withdraw their troops and end the war.

Originally, he wanted to use a victory to intimidate the Guanzhong gentry and let them know which side to choose.

It now appears that this plan is doomed to fail.

The crossbow array and the powerful crossbows on the tower were enough to make one's scalp tingle.

"If Ziyi is not up to the task, let him return to Chang'an first. Leave this place to me. As long as Ziyi's banner is here, the Han army will absolutely not dare to attack the city," Dong Zhuo said, turning his head.

Duan Yu thought for a moment, then nodded.

If all else fails, this is the only option.

There's no point in lingering here.

"That......."

"what?"

Just as Duan Yu was about to speak, he suddenly noticed something unusual happening behind the Han army camp in the distance.

A large number of fires suddenly broke out in the direction of the Han army's rear camp, which was originally pitch black.

what's the situation?

Duan Yu frowned and looked into the distance.
