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

On the outskirts of the woods not far from Duan Yu.

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu stared wide-eyed at Duan Yu, who was wielding the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd in the woods.

He served as Duan Yu's personal bodyguard.

Even when Duan Yu was resting, the two of them had to take turns on duty, remaining vigilant at all times.

This is the duty of a guard.

It was something the two of them vowed to do well, even if it meant risking their lives, after leaving the village.

"Brother Duan... is too strong."

Iron Stone stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth wide, letting the wind from the woods fill his stomach.

Wang Hunu, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

More than just strong?

They both knew how heavy that Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd was.

They lifted huge rocks weighing around 100 pounds every day to work up their strength for more than a month.

But even wielding the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd is impossible.

But in their Brother Duan's hands, it was just like a cabbage leaf.

However, considering that Duan Yu used a millstone weighing a thousand pounds to train his body and build strength at home, it's not surprising.

In the forest, every time Duan Yu swung his Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, the air would instantly pass through the hollowed-out part of the halberd tip, bringing with it a series of fierce whistles.

When he exerted all his strength, the halberd even curved at a 40-50 degree angle.

Moreover, that howling sound was extremely piercing.

It truly sounded like ghosts wailing and gods howling.

Not to mention the enemy, even Duan Yu himself felt a little uncomfortable when he first heard it.

[Ding! The [Tenfold Attribute] has taken effect. The host's swing of the battle halberd increases the effect tenfold. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the new attribute 0/10000 [Unstoppable Force - Blue]]

coming!

Duan Yu, who was wielding his halberd, stopped.

Listen to the synthesized voice from the system in your mind.

[System Prompt: Unstoppable Force: As long as the enemy is hit, regardless of whether a vital point is struck, maximum damage will be inflicted.]

Duan Yu smiled and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

A thousand times.

The entry was activated the tenth time the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd was wielded.

By now, he has swung it a full thousand times.

The Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd, weighing over two hundred kilograms, was swung a thousand times, and even with his current strength of nine oxen, it was not an easy task.

"When would I ever have a weapon that weighs a thousand pounds?"

"This way I can accumulate proficiency in marksmanship while simultaneously honing my strength proficiency."

Duan Yu thought to himself.

But this weapon weighs a thousand pounds...

How big would it be?

If we could find a huge meteorite, or a large number of meteorites fused together, then it might be possible.

I glanced at the system interface.

Name: Duan Yu

【Age: 25】

Height: 191cm

[Weight: 95 kg]

【词条：【十倍速度-金色】【箭如连珠-紫色64579/1000000】【九牛之力-紫色37878/100000】【抽刀断水-红色45000/100000】【种子改良-蓝色0/10000】【一寸光阴一寸金-白0/1000】【势如破竹-蓝0/1000】】

The bow and arrows are now purple, and they fly in rapid succession.

Its power is now also purple, the strength of nine oxen.

The swordsmanship is red; he can draw his sword and cut through water.

The cultivation aspect is represented by blue, which refers to seed improvement.

Speaking of seed improvement.

After obtaining improved seeds last time, he took the time to sow seeds on all the remaining ten-odd acres of land at home.

Now we're just waiting for this year's autumn harvest to see the actual results.

Moreover, after the planting was completed, Duan Yu tried again to improve the farming attribute.

But then a problem was discovered.

It seems that after missing the planting season, randomly cultivating the land does not add any experience.

Based on this, Duan Yu deduced that only by cultivating the land during the spring planting season could one gain experience.

The entry for "a moment of time"...

how to say.

If this were to happen in later generations...

Perhaps by using this term, one can carve out a niche for themselves in a big city.

As for now, one can only say that Diao Chan and Dong Yi are very fortunate.

The marksmanship attribute has been activated, so the mission can be considered complete.

After examining the system internally, Duan Yu glanced at the distant woods.

"Go and rest now. If you can't get up tomorrow morning, you two will be in big trouble." Duan Yu glared at Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu in the distance.

The two people hiding behind the trees in the distance shrank back, their expressions sullen, and ran away in a flash.

Early the next morning.

Before dawn, Chen Qing'an had already led three hundred elite cavalry ahead of Duan Yu's main force, heading straight for Loufan Pass.

...........

Yanmen County, Loufan Pass.

During the Warring States period, the State of Zhao built the Great Wall on its border to guard against the southward invasion of the Xiongnu.

Loufan Pass was once famous because a nomadic tribe called Loufan had been active in the area for a long time.

King Wuling of Later Zhao built a pass here to defend against the Xiongnu, hence the name Loufan Pass.

From the Warring States period to the early Han Dynasty, Yanmen Commandery was a strategically vital area contested by nomadic tribes of the grasslands.

Especially after Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and made Chang'an the capital, the location of Yanmen County became increasingly important.

If Yanmen falls, Taiyuan will inevitably fall; if Taiyuan falls, Chang'an will be threatened.

From the time of King Wuling of Zhao when the Great Wall was built, to Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six kingdoms, Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to drive the Xiongnu north and build the Great Wall, and then to the siege of Baideng Mountain in the early Han Dynasty when 400,000 Xiongnu marched south.

Wang Zhaojun's departure to the border during the reign of Emperor Yuan.

For four hundred years during the Han Dynasty, countless Han soldiers shed their blood at Yanmen Pass.

In the second year of Yongshou, in July, Tan Shihuai led seven or eight thousand cavalry south to plunder Yanmen and Yunzhong prefectures, burning, killing, and looting countless people.

In the first, second, and sixth years of the Yanxi reign, Tan Shihuai repeatedly invaded Yanmen, intending to advance south from Yanmen County to Taiyuan. Although he failed, he killed countless people in Yanmen County and surrounding counties, and plundered countless livestock and people.

Summer of the ninth year of Yanxi (166 AD).

This year marked the first time that Tan Shihuai organized most of the Xianbei tribes to invade the Han Dynasty.

It was also the first time with the largest scale and momentum.

Tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry launched an attack simultaneously from nine counties in Youzhou and Bingzhou.

Therefore, the imperial court sent Zhang Huan to attack the Xianbei, and only then did the Xianbei leave the border.

After this battle, Tanshihuai's prestige among the Xianbei people soared, and he became the Great Chanyu of the Xianbei, recognized by all the tribes.

This marked the beginning of nearly twenty years of plunder and aggression against the border.

After the first year of Jianning, Liu Hong succeeded to the throne. Faced with the increasing encroachment of the Xianbei on the borders of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hong had no choice but to accept the situation.

In the seventh year of the Xiping era, Liu Hong dispatched 30,000 cavalrymen with the intention of defeating the Xianbei.

However, this battle ended in a crushing defeat for the Han Dynasty.

Of the 30,000 cavalrymen, only one or two out of ten returned.

In the years that followed, the Xianbei invasions increased daily, but the court was powerless to do anything about it.

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

The old and dilapidated buildings, with their mottled facades, have been neglected for many years.

Upon closer inspection, one can even see some arrows made of bone arrowheads stuck in cracks in the city wall.

Loufan Pass, located at the highest point of the mountain ridge, is like a huge yellow earthen wall blocking the road in the middle of the mountain.

The mottled marks of time are visible on every inch of the city wall.

The battlements are covered with indelible dark brown stains.

A group of lean soldiers stood behind the battlements, looking down at the mountains on both sides in the distance.

Between the open gates, people could be seen herding sheep in and out, their clothes tattered and their faces pale.

Compared to Taiyuan Prefecture, Yanmen Prefecture was even more harsh and cold.

They also frequently faced invasions from foreign tribes.

Therefore, compared to Taiyuan Commandery, Yanmen Commandery had a smaller population and was much poorer.

At this moment, on the city wall, a young man dressed in old iron armor with a sword hanging at his waist was leading four soldiers up the city wall of Loufan Pass.

Upon seeing the young man, the soldiers immediately stood up straight.

The young man was tall and strong with a resolute face, although he looked not very old, perhaps not even twenty.

But his expression remained extremely calm.

Even the older soldiers dared not look down on the young man in the slightest.

The young man led his soldiers on a patrol atop the city walls of the pass.

Inspect the necessary equipment for guarding the pass, such as arrows, logs, and stones.

After checking and finding nothing amiss, the young man's expression relaxed slightly.

"General, we are running low on food supplies inside the pass. The soldiers are only eating one meal a day, and it's just thin porridge."

"If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to last more than a few days with just one meal a day."

Just as the young man was about to step down, his deputy took a small step forward and said something.

The young man frowned slightly upon hearing this, then turned to look at his deputy behind him.

"Has the governor not sent the provisions yet?" the young man asked, frowning.

After hesitating for a moment, the lieutenant said in a low voice, "A few days ago, five thousand shi of grain were delivered, but Captain Wang withheld most of it."

"Detained them?" The young man frowned.

The lieutenant nodded and continued, "Captain Wang said that it was kept for emergency use in wartime."

"Nonsense!"

The young man shouted, "If we can't even get enough to eat on ordinary days, what's the point of saving it for wartime?"

With that, the young man flicked his sleeves and headed down to the city walls.

"General..."

The lieutenant behind him quickly stopped him: "General, you mustn't..."

The young man, whose expression grew increasingly grim, said, "Every time grain is transported, Wang Han keeps most of it. Does he really think I don't know about his shady dealings?"

"Where did the money he used to acquire land, mansions, cattle, and sheep for his family's land acquisition, mansion purchase, and other expenses during his years as a captain at Loufan Pass come from?"

“It would be fine under normal circumstances, but right now is the time when the Xiongnu and Xianbei are facing a shortage of food and resources.”

"If the Xiongnu and Xianbei launch an invasion southward, and the soldiers are starving, who will be willing to fight to the death to defend them?"

"Don't stop me! I want to see whether this grain has filled the granary or gone into Wang Han's pocket!"

The young man shook off the lieutenant's arm, then, with one hand on the hilt of his sword, he walked down the city wall of the pass.

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, the lieutenant had no choice but to follow.

..........

Several brightly dressed soldiers stood in front of a mansion that was significantly more vibrant and eye-catching inside Loufan Pass.

Compared to the soldiers guarding the pass, the soldiers standing in front of the mansion were far superior in both their attire and their complexion.

"Shut up!"

The young man, who had been galloping wildly, reined in his warhorse and stopped in front of the mansion gate.

He was about to step forward, one hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The soldiers guarding the gate immediately stepped forward to stop them.

The soldiers behind the young man stepped forward and said, "Make way, our general is looking for General Wang."

The guard looked the young man up and down, then put down his weapon and said, "Wait here while we go and announce your arrival."

The young man took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and stood at the door waiting.

After a while, the soldier came out of the mansion and invited the young man inside.

After passing through the garden corridor in the front yard, the young man arrived at a large hall.

"Haha, what wind is blowing today that brought Captain Zhang here?"

"This truly makes my humble abode shine with honor."

A man dressed in a black robe walked out from the main hall.

"Captain Wang!" The young man cupped his hands in greeting to Wang Han.

Wang Han smiled slightly, then pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Come, come, it's rare for Captain Zhang to come to my residence, please sit down, please sit down."

The young man glanced at the seats but did not move.

"I have come here with a question for Commandant Wang: Why did you retain most of the military rations that the Prefect sent to Loufan Pass the other day?"

"Right now, there is a shortage of food in the region, and the soldiers are starving. If the enemy attacks, how will the soldiers defend themselves?" the young man asked in rapid succession.

Wang Han chuckled and said, "So that's what it was about. Did Lieutenant Zhang really have to make the trip himself?"

Wang Han smiled and sat down, then waved to summon a pretty maid.

A maid carried a tray with a silver wine jug on it.

The wine jug is carved with exquisite and intricate patterns, clearly in the style of the grasslands.

The young man frowned.

Wang Han, however, calmly picked up the wine pot and poured himself a cup of wine into a silver cup.

"Commander Zhang, it is precisely because of the shortage of food that I ordered more food to be stored as a precaution."

"What if the enemy comes to besiege us at this time? If there are no food supplies in Guanzhong, how can we hold out?"

"Isn't that the logic of Captain Zhang?" Wang Han said with a smile.

The young man gripped the sword hilt tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"Captain Wang," the young man said, suppressing his anger, "if soldiers can't even get enough to eat when there's no war, why wait until war?"

"If there really is a war, how can the soldiers possibly fight to the death?"

"Captain Wang, let's release the grain and fodder to feed the army," the young man argued.

Wang Han, who was holding a silver wine cup, stopped abruptly, his gaze instantly turning hostile.

"Captain Zhang, are you trying to teach me how to do things?" Wang Han said, squinting his eyes. "Don't forget, I am the captain guarding Loufan Pass, and you are just my deputy."

"If you have any complaints, you may submit them to the Prefect. If the Prefect orders you to serve as the Captain, then you can make your own decision!"

"I'm in charge here now!"

"Captain Zhang, you have other matters to attend to. If not, you may leave!" Wang Han waved his hand impatiently.

The young man didn't move, but the expression on his face already revealed his anger.

Should I submit a petition to the prefect?

The prefect Wang Rou was Wang Han's uncle.

Given their kinship, what good would his petition do?

If it were useful, would Wang Han be able to sit in the position of Commandant of the Forbidden Pass now?

"Captain Wang!" the young man said coldly, "Since Captain Wang won't distribute the grain, that's fine, but I need to inspect the supply depot to ensure the grain is safe!"

"Zhang Wenyuan!"

Wang Han slammed his fist on the table and glared at Zhang Liao, saying, "Zhang Wenyuan, are you suspecting me of embezzling grain supplies?"

"You are so brave!"

"You're the one who calls the shots in this building!"

"Even if you're going to supervise, it's not your place to supervise me!"

"go out!"

"I'll say it again: if you have any complaints, go to the prefect and let him punish me!"

"If you continue to spout nonsense without solid evidence, be careful, or I will hold you accountable."

"roll!"

Wang Han let out a furious curse.
