Chapter 328 Pioneer for the King

Sun Cheng felt that happiness came so suddenly.

He calmed down and followed everyone step by step into the Yunyang Marquis Mansion.

At this time, Feng Fengshi also completed the registration.

"Feng Jun is here too, please join us for some tea!"

Seeing Feng Fengshi, Zhang Kun stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.

Feng Fengshi was also the person Zhang Yue had reminded him to focus on recruiting.

Zhang Kun also wanted to visit her, but was declined.

Feng Fengshi heard this and bowed, "It turns out it's Zhang Jiacheng who's causing such trouble..."

Huo Yu and his party did not sit in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion for a long time, but they left after only a quarter of an hour.

However, the impact was huge. Within a few days, everyone in Chang'an knew about it, and the general Huo Guang also sent his son to the Yunyang Marquis Mansion to ask for a letter.

Everyone was talking about this and guessing what book Huo Yu borrowed.

People also coveted the collection of books in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion.

…

In Taixue, several doctors were discussing.

"Does Mr. Lu know what books are stored in the Yunyang Hou Mansion?"

It was Dr. Cai Qianqiu who spoke.

Lu Gongdao said, "It is said that Liuhou must have books such as "Huangshi Art of War", "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", etc. However, Liuhou's family has been the prime minister of Han for generations, so there may be other books as well!"

At this time, Lu Gongdao said, "I heard that Zhang has "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his secret collection. I don't know if this is true or not?"

Lu Gong nodded and said, "This is true. What the general borrowed from the Yunyang Marquis Mansion this time was "Thirteen Chapters of Sun Tzu"!"

Lu Gongdao asked, "Does Mr. Zhang actually have this book?"

Just then an old man walked in.

When everyone saw it, they quickly stood up and said, "Meet Mr. Shen?"

Although Duke Shen did not hold a post in Taixue, his status was higher than others.

He is a leader of the Guliang School, and he came to Chang'an this time precisely because of the library.

"What are you discussing?" Duke Shen asked with a smile.

"Does Mr. Shen know what books Zhang has in his collection?" Cai Qianqiu bowed respectfully.

Duke Shen smiled and sighed, "Zhang's collection of books far exceeds expectations..."

When Duke Lu heard this, he was surprised and said, "How did Duke Shen know this?"

Duke Shen did not speak, sighed again, and then took out a silk book.

"Do you know what this is?"

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, but they also became interested in the silk book.

Duke Shen twisted his long beard and said, "This is the list of books that the Yunyang Marquis Mansion wants to donate to the library!"

Cai Qianqiu and others' eyes lit up when they heard this, "Mr. Shen may give us a look!"

Then Shen Gong came here to find a few people to support him as the academic director of the library. How could he refuse this request?

Hearing this, he held the roster in both hands and handed it to Cai Qianqiu.

Cai Qianqiu stretched out his hands to take the silk book, then placed it on Fang Zheng's desk solemnly and slowly opened it.

Afterwards, the sounds of exclamation sounded one after another.

Zhang actually has a complete set of "The Analects of Confucius"...

There is also "Spring and Autumn", which is another exclamation.

"Book of Rites"...there is actually "Book of Rites"...

The group of erudite scholars completely lost their composure when they saw those names.

"The Zhang family actually possesses the classics of our various schools of Confucianism...this, this, this..."

Cai Qianqiu was stunned when he saw what was behind him.

"The Yunyang Marquis Mansion actually has such a collection of books. Why does it depend on my virtuous literature..."

A doctor shouted.

The Duke of Shen also sighed after hearing this.

Only Lu Gong and Cai Qianqiu looked at each other in silence.

At this moment, the two of them felt quite regretful. They should not have deliberately suppressed Zhang Yue when he was granted the title of Marquis.

At this time, Cai Qianqiu looked at everyone with a solemn expression, "Masters, we must seize the position of Zangshu Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, Duke Shen stood up and said, "I came here this time just to invite you to help me!"

Everyone heard this and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, we will do our best!"

At this time, Lu Gong frowned and said, "But Du Ling is a powerful enemy!"

When Duke Shen heard this, his eyes flashed coldly!

…

In Ershi City, Zhang Yue finally formally received Gengchen after waiting for three days.

At this time, Zhang Yue had basically understood the situation in Dawan at this time.

"The Deputy King of Dayuan, Gengchen, pays homage to General Weiyuan, Marquis of Yunyang in the upper country!"

Gengchen bowed to Zhang Yue respectfully.

Zhang Yue stared at Gengchen for a while before deliberately asking casually, "You are Gengchen, who is known as the number one general in Dawan!"

Gengchen was shocked when he heard this, "You are just an old pawn in front of the general, how dare you call him a famous general!"

Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this, "Why should His Highness, the Vice-Prince, be too modest? Your Highness can defeat the Yuezhi with his own strength, so how can he not be called a famous general!"

Gengchen's heart tightened even more when he heard this. He didn't expect that Zhang Yue knew his situation better than he expected.

Gengchen bowed with a serious face at this time, "The Lord is so complimentary!"

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, Your Highness, Vice-President. How about you try some tea first?"

Gengchen gently picked up the tea cup and took a sip imitating Zhang Yue's example.

Zhang Yuexiao asked, "How do you feel, Your Highness?"

Gengchen said, “Although it tastes bitter when you take it into your mouth, after drinking it, only the sweet taste remains!”

Zhang Yue nodded, "It seems that His Highness has tasted the taste of this tea!"

Gengchen already understood Zhang Yue's purpose of inviting him to drink tea.

He thought for a moment and then said directly, "I wonder how Dawan can gain the support of the Han Dynasty and get such a sweet taste?"

Zhang Yue smiled and did not answer directly, but asked, "Then it depends on what kind of tea Dawan needs!"

Gengchen gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think of Yu Cheng's tea?"

Zhang Yue was shocked. He didn't expect that Geng Chen had such courage.

Although Zhang Yue was quite surprised in his heart, his face remained calm.

"Yucheng is naturally a good cup of tea, but it may not be easy to drink it!"

Gengchen smiled and said, "As long as there is good water!"

Zhang Yue said, "The big man has his own good water, but I don't know which tea is more suitable?"

Hearing this, Gengchen stopped beating around the bush and said, "The country needs the powerful soldiers of the Han Dynasty...it needs the emperor's canonization!"

Zhang Yue raised the tea cup in his hand and said, "There are all these big men, but one Yu Cheng is not enough!"

Gengchen gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder what the big man needs?"

Zhang Yue said, "Your Highness, does he know what price Wusun paid?"

Gengchen was shocked. Dawan was not as good as Wusun. If he paid the same price as Wusun, he would not be able to implement the next plan.

Just as a feeling of despair arose in his heart, he suddenly noticed the smile on his lips.

"Ask the price all over the sky, pay the money on the spot!" He suddenly remembered a saying from the merchants.

Gengchen took a deep breath and said, "The country is willing to be a lackey of the Han Dynasty..."

Zhang Yue shook his head, "Yue Zhi and Kang Ju also wish to do the same..."

Gengchen quickly calculated in his mind how to persuade Zhang Yue.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, "I'm willing to be a pioneer for the Han Dynasty!"

Zhang Yue finally sat up straight after hearing this.

He looked at Gengchen and said slowly, "Capture Marakanda within a month..."
