Chapter 249: Is it time to take back Toyota County?
Luyang Prefecture Wuwei Yamen.

Zhang Yuan and Sun Ze stood in front of the lobby, with teams of guards in black robes and white robes, their hands on the hilts of the goose-feather swords at their waists.

Full of momentum.

Nearly three months later, when Zhang Yuan saw these martial guards again, he could see that their cultivation and appearance were even stronger.

In a border government office like Luyang Prefecture, the soldiers of the Wuwei Yamen can indeed get a lot of training.

Sun Ze looked at the soldiers in front of him and nodded slightly.

These soldiers were no worse than the elite soldiers he had seen in the county government.

Many people in the Wuwei Yamen recognized Sun Ze, the former magistrate of Yong'an County.

When the Wuwei went to Yong'an County to suppress the bandits, it was County Magistrate Sun who received them.

"Brothers, my being the chief clerk is just a formality." Sun Ze looked at the solemn guards on the square with a smile on his face.

He was a shrewd man, so of course he knew that no one, let alone him, could command these guards at the Luyang Prefecture Wuwei Yamen.

The Wuwei Yamen of Luyang Prefecture only recognizes Mr. Zhang.

Fortunately, he had a good relationship with Zhang Yuan in martial arts, and he especially swallowed his pride to help Zhang Yuan build his connections. Later he found out that it was Zhang Yuan who helped him build his connections.

Anyway, he and Zhang Yuan became friends.

Just as he said, he came to Luyang Prefecture to be the chief clerk of the Wuwei Yamen just to go through the motions and take advantage of Zhang Yuan's favor.

"Zhang is well aware of Sun Zhubu's character and methods."

"During the martial arts training, Sun Zhubu was Zhang's instructor."

As soon as Zhang Yuan's voice sounded, all the guards stood upright.

"Master Sun has full authority over all matters within the Wuwei Yamen, big or small. Do you understand?"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Song Zhongshu, Xu Changzhi and the other five battalion commanders standing in front of the army all bowed and clasped their fists: "Yes!"

Then, everyone looked at Sun Ze: "Greetings, Sun Zhubu."

Sun Ze smiled and bowed repeatedly.

Zhang Yuan glanced over and said in a low voice, "The battalion commander will stay, and everyone else will return to their posts."

The guards bowed and walked away quickly.

The square was empty and Zhang Yuan looked at the figures in front of him.

The commander of the first battalion was Guo Maoquan, the captain of the second battalion was Song Zhongshu, the commander of the third battalion was Qi Junliang, the commander of the fourth battalion was Xu Changzhi, and the commander of the fifth battalion was Gu Zhenting.

Among these five people, Guo Maoquan and Song Zhongshu are the oldest and their cultivation level cannot be improved any more.

Qi Junliang's cultivation is stable, and Gu Zhenting is only one step away from the late stage of the acquired realm.

Xu Changzhi has the highest level of cultivation and is the one Zhang Yuan is most optimistic about, as he is the one who can enter the innate realm.

Once Xu Changzhi can enter the innate realm, the entire Luyang Prefecture Wuwei Yamen will have its own innate realm master.

"Five days later, the troops will leave Toyota County."

Zhang Yuan's words instantly caused the blood in the five people standing in the square to surge.

Losing Toyota County is a hateful thing for the people of Luyang Prefecture.

Reclaiming Toyota County is what all the warriors and generals in Luyang Prefecture hope for.

"I got a secret method from the county government that can improve my combat power."

"Most of the others don't have enough cultivation to bear this force, but you can."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said calmly, "During these five days, you must reorganize the Wuwei soldiers and familiarize yourself with the newly improved combat capabilities."

"I want to marry Princess Yuruo."

In the back hall of Yulin Academy, Zhang Yuan sat opposite Master Tao and spoke.

Master Tao looked up at him, then reached out and picked up the clothes and a stack of books on the table.

These are the clothes and books that Zhang Yuan brought and that Qin Yuqing made for Master Tao.

"You are neither surprised nor objecting?" Zhang Yuan looked at Master Tao with a hint of curiosity on his face.

Master Tao is too calm.

"What's so surprising?" Master Tao rubbed his clothes with his palm, "A man should always have a woman."

"As for opposition," Master Tao said with a smile, "as long as you can go further and further and deepen your martial arts practice, there will be fewer and fewer people in this world who can stop you."

"Not to mention the princess, even a princess is not out of reach."

Zhang Yuan leaned back in a bamboo chair and looked at the students from the academy outside the courtyard.

Gu Zhenting, wearing a martial arts robe, is teaching Iron Armor Fist.

Although Zhang Yuan gained a lot from the trip to the county government, he still felt at ease in Luyang Prefecture.

However, he also knew that as his cultivation level improved, his world would become larger and larger, and the small Luyang Mansion would eventually be unable to hold him.

"Han Xiao came here once," Master Tao narrowed his eyes and sat up straight, "Is he going to take back Fengtian County?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

Master Tao clenched his fists.

"We have waited for this day for too long..."

……

After leaving the academy, Zhang Yuan went to Wang's Wood Furniture Shop.

Wang Qinian greeted him with a smile and said, "Welcome back, Commander."

Wang Qinian is actually quite capable, but he is a bit lazy and has no ambition.

You can tell by the fact that the wood shop has taken on more business.

"Give me all the movements of the Zhenxi Army and the news from Northern Yan."

Zhang Yuan strode forward and spoke in a deep voice.

Wang Qinian's expression became serious and he was no longer smiling.

Wang Qinian quickly took a thick stack of books and handed them to Zhang Yuan.

The secret guards and spies of the Black Ice Platform in Luyang Prefecture were mostly concerned about the movements of the Zhenxi Army and Northern Yan.

This thick information has revealed all the mobilization of the Northern Yan army and the various arrangements and deployments of the Zhenxi Army in recent days.

As the Zhenbei Army surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, the northern defense line established by Beiyan based on the Gubei City collapsed.

Beiyan had to transfer the Dragon Armor Guards and the Imperial Guards to reorganize the northern defense forces.

A member of the Northern Yan royal family, Duke Yu Murong Tong, led a thousand Dragon Armor Guards, thirty thousand guards, and fifty thousand garrison troops to arrive three hundred miles north of Gubei City, confronting the Chilin Army across the river.

Murong Tong is the commander of the Dragon Armor Guard, the younger brother of the Emperor of Northern Yan, and a martial arts master.

Only such a person could be entrusted with the task of guarding the northern border in times of crisis.

Objectively speaking, the Prince Gu's Mansion instigated Xiao Renguang to lead the Zhenbei Army to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, which did catch Northern Yan off guard and caused a panic.

In contrast, all kinds of news about the Zhenxi Army were flying around before, but Northern Yan had already prepared various response strategies.

The Zhenbei Army surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, and the commander of the Beiyan Zhenxi Army, Ouyang Shucai, was promoted to the Prince's Guardian and his son, Ouyang Mingshang, was granted marriage to the princess. The wedding took place in Xichang City soon.

At that time, delegations from the five countries and three regions will attend the ceremony.

Even though the Qin Dynasty is now on the verge of a war with all parties, fighting on the battlefield is one thing, and there must be contact between the court and the emperor.

You have to know that the military merits and lands that the generals exchanged their lives for on the battlefield can also be obtained by the civil officials at the negotiating table.

For example, Zhou Chang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was directly admitted to the Ministry of War because of his plan to exchange one city for five cities in order to suppress Northern Yan.

According to the information gathered by the secret agents of Heibingtai, all 180,000 elite Zhenxi Army troops have been dispatched to blockade all parts of Xichang City.

Ouyang Shucai, who had been in seclusion, finally came out and patrolled the city, showing his master-level cultivation.

Not only that, several powerful people in the Beiyan martial arts world and several famous priests in the Heavenly Demon Palace also appeared in Xichang City.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to assassinate the Princess of Northern Yan in Xichang City.
