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

Three hundred elite cavalrymen stood in neat rows outside Loufan Pass, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

These three hundred elite cavalrymen were part of Dong Yi's dowry, so they were naturally not old or weak.

All the horses were top-quality warhorses from Liangzhou, each about seven feet five inches tall.

Although the cavalry did not wear iron armor, each of them wore leather armor and was equipped with long weapons, short weapons, and bows and arrows.

One glance was enough to tell they were elite.

Chen Qing'an, clad in iron armor with a white cloak behind him, held a large spear and looked up at Loufan Pass bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

He happened to make eye contact with Zhang Liao and the other person above him.

Who is behind the gate?

Why have you come?

Although he recognized the Han army, Zhang Liao did not immediately order the city gates to be opened, but instead cautiously asked a question.

Chen Qing'an then took out the document that Dong Zhuo had reprinted from his chest.

However, he did not display the contents, but raised one hand high towards the city gate and said: "I am under the command of Governor Dong, and I have come to Yanmen County to convey an important order."

"This is an order from Governor Dong, affixed with his official seal."

Governor Dong?

Dong Zhuo?

Zhang Liao, standing on the city gate, raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Liao had naturally heard of Dong Zhuo, who had served as governor of Bingzhou for more than four years.

Looking at the cavalry below the city gate, Zhang Liao already understood.

It is said that Dong Zhuo's army was strong and powerful, and he intimidated the Qiang people in Liangzhou, preventing them from causing trouble.

Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary.

After Chen Qing'an finished speaking, Zhang Liao turned to look at his deputy behind him.

"Open the door, it's Governor Dong's cavalry."

The deputy general behind him nodded.

Zhang Liao then walked down the city gate with him.

Although he was preparing to resign, Zhang Liao was determined to stand firm at his post until the very end, and since he wouldn't be leaving Loufan Pass until tomorrow morning, he naturally wouldn't be lazy when it was time to step forward.

Below the city gate.

Chen Qingan took a deep breath.

Loufan Pass is the last pass for entering or exiting Yanmen Pass.

Once Loufan Pass is controlled, the road to Yinguan County, the capital of Yanmen Commandery, will be unobstructed.

Right now, all we need to do is get the building under control.

creak~

As the door opened.

Chen Qing'an did not order the immediate occupation of Loufan Pass.

Gao Shun had taught him.

The upper troops attacked the plot, the second attacked the Jiaotong, the second attacked the soldiers, and the lower attacked the city.

If we forcefully attack Loufan Pass, the news will definitely leak out.

Inside the pass, Zhang Liao led several soldiers out from Loufan Pass.

When Chen Qing'an, on horseback, saw Zhang Liao walking out from inside the pass, his expression showed slight surprise.

Chen Qing'an dismounted, and the three hundred elite cavalry behind him followed suit.

"My name is Chen Qing'an." Chen Qing'an bowed to Zhang Liao and asked, "May I ask if you are the garrison commander of Loufan Pass?"

Chen Qingan was somewhat puzzled.

He hadn't seen Zhang Liao clearly when he was standing on the pass, but now that they were closer, Chen Qing'an could tell at a glance that Zhang Liao was about the same age as him.

Moreover, judging from the soldiers behind Zhang Liao and their armor, they were certainly not ordinary soldiers.

Zhang Liao returned the greeting with a cupped hand and said, "My name is Zhang Liao, and I am the deputy general of Wang Han, the garrison commander of Loufan Pass."

Lieutenant General.

That was also a captain.

Chen Qingan was surprised.

Zhang Liao was already serving as a colonel at such a young age?

Zhang Liao, who was looking at Chen Qing'an, was also very surprised.

They were also surprised by Chen Qing'an's youth.

"Captain Zhang."

After composing himself, Chen Qing'an cupped his hands and said, "I have come to convey the governor's orders. Since Commandant Zhang is Commandant Wang's deputy, I would like to trouble Commandant Zhang to lead the way and deliver these orders to Commandant Wang."

Zhang Liao frowned slightly upon hearing this.

He didn't want to see Wang Han again.

But seeing so many elite cavalrymen arriving, and fearing that something important might be delayed, they could only nod reluctantly.

"Alright, Brother Chen, please follow me."

Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Chen Qing'an relaxed slightly and then followed Zhang Liao into the pass.

The three hundred elite cavalry behind them also entered Loufan Pass.

Soldiers inside Loufan Pass and on the other passes looked at Chen Qing'an and his troops with envy.

Zhang Liao was naturally envious.

These soldiers were tall and well-equipped.

If the garrison inside Loufan Pass had such elite cavalry, he would even dare to launch a preemptive attack on the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

"I've long heard that the General's troops are all elites from Liangzhou, and seeing them today, I can see they are indeed extraordinary," Zhang Liao said enviously to Chen Qing'an beside him. "Brother Chen, do you serve under the General?"

Chen Qingan smiled and shook his head: "No."

"I am actually under the command of the Commandant of Jinyang County."

"Duan Yu? Duan Ziyi?" Zhang Liao asked in surprise.

Ok?

Chen Qingan raised an eyebrow.

When asked about his idol, Chen Qing'an was surprised to see Zhang Liao's astonished expression. He was also surprised that Zhang Liao could call out Duan Yu's name.

So he asked, "Does Commandant Zhang also know Brother Duan's name?"

Zhang Liao nodded in surprise and said, "Of course I know."

Loufan Pass is adjacent to Taiyuan, and it is only a two-day journey by fast horse from Jinyang.

It's not far, of course.

But for ordinary people, it's still a long way off.

However, the transmission of information is not hindered by distance.

"I never expected Brother Chen to be under the command of County Commandant Duan." Zhang Liao said with some longing, "Commander Duan's archery skills are superb, and his victory in the Longshan bandit suppression battle has already made him famous throughout Bingzhou."

"I had long heard of the great name of County Commandant Duan in Yanmen County."

"And now County Commandant Duan is the son-in-law of the Regional Governor, how could Liao not know that?"

As Chen Qing'an listened to Zhang Liao's praise of Duan Yu, he couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards this captain who was about the same age as him.

Chen Qing'an smiled and looked at Zhang Liao beside him, saying, "I will definitely introduce Captain Zhang to Brother Duan when the opportunity arises."

Zhang Liao nodded with a smile.

As the two were talking, they unknowingly arrived at the gate of Wang Han's mansion.

It was almost nightfall.

Soldiers still stood guard in front of Wang Han's mansion.

"Brother Chen, this is the residence of Wang Han, the garrison commander of Loufan Pass," Zhang Liao said, looking at the gate of Wang Han's residence.

"I'll trouble you, Commandant Zhang," Chen Qing'an said, bowing slightly.

Zhang Liao glanced at the captain in front of the gate, and although he was unwilling, he still took two steps forward.

"Why are you here again?" The guard's face fell when he saw Zhang Liao.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing'an, who was standing not far from the door, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

As Wang Han's deputy general, Zhang Liao couldn't possibly be unknown to the guards at the gate.

But since they knew this, yet acted this way, the reason is already quite obvious.

The principal and the auxiliary are at odds.

Chen Qingan saw it at a glance.

Having understood the situation perfectly, Chen Qing'an already had a plan in mind.

He then lowered his voice and said to a cavalry sergeant behind him, "I'll be entering the mansion in a moment."

"If they haven't come out within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then you can charge in."

"But remember, do not let anyone slip through, and seal off the mansion."

The cavalry sergeant nodded repeatedly.

On the other side, Zhang Liao had already explained his purpose to the soldiers.

The guards then went to inform them.
