Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 152 Recovering Toyota County...

"Ouyang Shucai is quite a character, but it's a pity that Xiao Renguang is more decisive than him."

When Zhang Yuan was about to leave, the prefect Yu Hualin sighed softly.

If Ouyang Shucai had decisively surrendered after signing the alliance with the Qin Dynasty, he would not have been preempted by Xiao Renguang.

Although Ouyang Shucai seems to be valued by the Emperor of Northern Yan, he is actually being roasted on the fire and is on the forefront of the battle with the Qin Dynasty.

The prefect of Luyang Prefecture told Zhang Yuan that if he wanted to retake Toyota County, it would mean that Ouyang Shucai would no longer have the possibility of surrendering to the Qin Dynasty.

All previous plans have come to nothing.

Perhaps the prefect was also reminding Zhang Yuan that many times, choice is more important than hard work.

Zhang Yuan understood that Luyang Prefecture and Zhengyang County were the foundation of his rise.

Even if Peng Zheng sincerely invited him, he would not really go to the East Territory.

At least not now.

When Zhang Yuan arrived at Dingjia Lane, Peng Zheng's bicycle was parked at the entrance.

"Brother Zhang, I won't say anything else. I, the Marquis Xiaoyuan, will always remember your kindness." Peng Zheng bowed solemnly to Zhang Yuan.

This time, Peng Zheng not only found three jade Buddha Bodhi seeds, but also brought back a thousand surrendered monks.

The merits of these thousand monk soldiers would allow him to be promoted one level.

This is a greater achievement than any other achievement, as it demonstrates the country's prestige.

For Peng Zheng himself, following Zhang Yuan all the way back and seeing the way the cavalry charged into battle was his greatest gain.

After returning to the East Territory and digesting these experiences, he was confident that he could stand on his own in the East Territory.

All of this was brought by Zhang Yuan.

Without Zhang Yuan, Peng Zheng would never have been able to return to Qin alive.

"I understand Prince Peng's intentions." Zhang Yuan bowed and said softly, "One day, I will fight alongside Brother Peng."

……

Peng Zheng led a thousand soldiers to the eastern border, but Zhao Kuo did not go.

After careful consideration, Zhao Kuo decided to follow Gong Yuzheng to the county government.

As he was born in Liangyuanyu, Gong Yuzheng promised him the opportunity to practice martial arts. When the war between Daqin and Liangyuanyu started, it would be his time to rise.

He has no future in the East.

Liang Yuanyu is his future.

The sight of Zhang Yuan leading the Black Cavalry to charge into the battle formation shocked him immensely. Now he no longer believed in military books.

Peng Zheng left and Zhang Yuan returned to the courtyard.

In the quiet room, he took out the jade Buddha Bodhi beads one by one.

The jade-colored light flickered, like flowing moonlight.

A faint power can calm the soul.

Including the few that he "picked up" along the way, Zhang Yuan now has as many as twenty-four jade Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in his hands.

Such treasures are worth thousands of taels of gold each.

This is a good thing to soothe the soul.

During this trip to Liangyuanyu, Zhang Yuan made a huge fortune.

Of course, this is not his greatest achievement.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the golden light of the Mingwang Seal appeared behind him, and the shadow of a dragon coiled around his shoulder.

In the mind, a golden-red light curtain rose.

【Zhang Yuan】

Identity: Zhang Yuan, Acting Captain of the Wuwei Yamen of Luyang Prefecture, Great Qin; Commander of the Black Armor of the Black Ice Terrace of Zhengyang Commandery; Commander of the Red Fox Caravan, Red Fox; Lord of the Eighteen Villages of Qingshan, Zhang Erhe; and Buddha Master Wuji of Yuzhao Temple.

Cultivation: Peak of the Vajra Grandmaster Realm. Upgrading requires 2,830 Gangqi beads, 81 Heavenly Dao gold beads, and 3 pieces of golden body jade bones.
Martial Arts Practice: Great Perfection of Mountain and River Movement, Great Perfection of Golden Body Skill, Great Perfection of Weapon Forging Technique, Great Perfection of Great River Sword Skill, Great Perfection of Great River Fist Skill, Great Perfection of Dragon Skill, Great Perfection of Mingwang Seal

Battle Formation: Wolf Formation Great Perfection, Tiger Formation Great Perfection

Chaos Space: 14,500 Qi and Blood Beads, 12,100 Perception Beads, 7,400 True Essence Beads, 1,300 Demonic Energy Beads, 6,370 Buddha Essence Beads, 142 Gang Qi Beads, and 75 Heavenly Dao Golden Beads
Chaos Support: Not enabled

During this trip to Liangyuan Territory, Zhang Yuan not only killed a master, honed his master's combat skills, and obtained the power of the dragon and the Mingwang Seal, he also found a way to condense the Golden Pearl of Heaven!
This is the great path of cultivation to the Grandmaster level.

Along the way, he helped the people, distributed wealth, and in return he received more than ten Heavenly Dao Golden Pearls, which was more than what he had accumulated through his own practice.

What really allowed him to obtain nearly forty Heavenly Dao Golden Pearls at once was when he led the Black Cavalry to charge into the battle, and the blood and energy of the army turned into war beasts, killing the enemy as he wished, and finally defeated the enemy and won the victory, and the army was united.

Military morale.

Popular support.

This is the fastest way to condense the Golden Pearl of Heaven.

As Liang Yuanyu said, this is called merit and prestige.

Merit and prestige combined are the golden pearls of the great way.

Those Buddhist monks are accumulating merits.

However, those who have entered the Grandmaster realm still practice in the secular world and serve in the court in order to build up their prestige.

What they ultimately seek is the power of the Tao.

Every master’s practice is to continuously acquire the power of the Tao and draw the power of the Tao upon himself.

The amount of power one controls determines the strength of a Grandmaster, and also represents their potential. As long as the Jianghu, the common people, and the government continuously enhance their prestige and accumulate merit, they will be able to continuously condense the Golden Pearls of the Great Dao.

Zhang Yuan finally found his own path of spiritual practice.

Become a higher official, command more troops, and earn more merits.

In order to be able to practice the great Dao smoothly, what does it matter even if you have great power?

Golden light surged outside his body, and something like flames surged in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

--------------

Yulin Academy.

In the backyard, Master Tao opened the wooden box Zhang Yuan had given him, looked at the jade-colored Bodhi seed inside, and murmured, "Is this the Bodhi seed you fought so hard for, stirring up the turmoil in Liangyuan Territory?"

"The value of this small fruit cannot be measured in silver."

A master died, tens of thousands of monk soldiers were killed or injured, and the situation in the entire Liangyuan area changed.

If the Great Tianlong Temple had known the outcome would be like this, they would never have ambush and robbed the Jade Buddha Bodhi seed, right?
In the battle outside the Great Wall, the invincible power of the Qin Black Cavalry was fully displayed. How many people in the entire Liangyuan area dare to go against the Qin?

"This fruit is good for your spiritual cultivation." Zhang Yuan pointed at the Bodhi fruit and looked at Master Tao and said, "Where is Master Qin?"

"Really gone?"

Master Tao nodded.

Heibingtai was the first to receive the news of Xiao Renguang's surrender.

The Black Ice Platform of Zhengyang County sent someone with a transfer order to summon Qin Yuqing and Qi Yue to leave.

Qi Yue's elder brother, Qin Yuqing's late husband, Qi Liang, a general of the Black Ice Stage, died in the northern border, and his hatred for Xiao Renguang was as deep as a river.

When Xiao Renguang led the Beiyuan Army to surrender, he would naturally have to deal with the Luyang Prefecture government, the Wuwei, and the Heibingtai.

If Qin Yuqing and Qi Yue were still in Luyang Prefecture, even if they couldn't do anything for the sake of their family and country, how could they feel at ease?

The county government's Black Ice Platform transferred them away to protect them.

Qin Yuqing and the others left, but Master Tao stayed.

"I have to guard the academy," Master Tao lowered his voice, "With your cultivation and combat power, you can go further in the Black Ice Platform."

"But your foundation is too shallow, and you don't have anyone available."

"Those noble families don't lack people, but if you want to use them, you have to exchange things with them."

"They all want to get you."

There was a deep light in Master Tao's eyes.

Zhang Yuan led the Black Armor to kill the Grandmaster. Who wouldn't want to have such a brave general in his hands?
But these people only value Zhang Yuan's bravery. How many of them really want to train him?
Master Tao knew Zhang Yuan's character and knew that he would never allow himself to be ordered around by others.

"Don't worry, Luyang Mansion and the Academy will become your foundation."

"After Chen Wu and the others have been tempered, they will be useful."

"The boys in the academy are all quite capable."

Zhang Yuan nodded without saying anything.

He did not tell Master Tao that he was already a master.

He understood that whether he was a master or not had no real impact on his future.

Just as Master Tao said, his foundation is too shallow, he has no matching foundation and no power of his own. No matter how strong his personal strength is, he will eventually become a pawn in the hands of others.

Among the masters Zhang Yuan saw, Liang Qiyuan had the Mountain Sect behind him, the Kuruo Buddha had the Datianlong Temple behind him, and the Hulin Buddha was the master of the Mingtang Temple.

The master who controls a force is the one to be feared.

"By the way, before you came back, the owner of Dongming Trading Company and Captain Cao from Liping County sent us a lot of silver and money." Master Tao stood up and went back to the side room to get a stack of banknotes.

"There is a total of 1,800 taels, and a letter from the magistrate of Liping County."

"Someone from the Wuwei Yamen sent it to the academy and asked me to keep it for you first."

This money is the reward from Dongming Trading Company and the reward from Liping County.

At that time, Zhang Yuan led the Wuwei to break through Tonggu Mountain, but it was agreed that the credit would go to Liping County, and the reward would be doubled to the Wuwei of Luyang Prefecture.

Zhang Yuan opened the letter and saw that it was written by Magistrate Jiang of Liping County. The words in the letter were of course good, but in fact it meant that the money and goods were settled. In the future, Master Zhang, you should not dwell on this credit anymore.

"I'll go divide the money among Xu Changzhi and the others." Zhang Yuan put the silver money into his arms and said.

The money belongs to whomever it belongs to, and Zhang Yuan will not take it for granted.

"By the way, I will report to the county government in two days."

Zhang Yuan lowered his voice and said solemnly, "When we return to Luyang Prefecture, it will be almost time to recapture Fengtian County."

Until Zhang Yuan walked out of the academy, Master Tao was still sitting in front of the stone table with a dazed look on his face.

"Recover Toyota County, recover Toyota County..."

He clenched his fists and his face flushed.

After leaving the academy, Zhang Yuan did not go directly to the Wuwei Yamen, but to the Luyang Prefecture headquarters in Heibingtai.

Standing outside the door, looking up at the plaque on the lintel, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head.

Wang's Wood Furniture Shop.

Wang Qinian stood at the door with a smile on his face.

On the side was Mr. Yao, a kind man with a smile on his face and wearing an ill-fitting waiter's robe.
