Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Gold Mine?

"Ah" Zhang Ning exclaimed, and then jumped up from Zhang Lang's arms at a fast speed, picked up the clothes on the ground with all his hands, and put them on his body vigorously. The whole face was hot, and I was afraid that Han Xue would come in soon.

Zhang Lang couldn't help covering his mouth and chuckling, but his eyes were a little reluctant to look at the jade body that was as white as mutton fat, and under Zhang Ning's rapid movements, it was suddenly hidden in his clothes. Zhang Lang couldn't help but think of the taste of ** just now, this Zhang Ning is really wonderful, it will always make people feel dissatisfied with their desires, obviously they are here**, under her seduction, they want it again. If I get tired of being with her every day, I'm afraid that in a few days, I will be weaker immediately. Thinking of this, Zhang Lang smiled dumbly.

Zhang Ning was wearing a jade belt, and when he heard Zhang Lang's frivolous laughter, he couldn't help but raise his head and wink.

Zhang Lang looked at the watery peach blossom eyes with an alluring style, and felt that his body began to change. Fortunately, at this time, Han Xue shouted outside the door again: "General, Lord Tian is waiting for you in the conference room." ”

Zhang Lang took a breath, suppressed the lust in his heart, and pulled his throat and said, "If I hear it, I'll go." After speaking, Zhang Lang stood up and began to put on his clothes and belts. Among them, he didn't forget to pinch Zhang Ning's buttocks to feel the wonderful taste, and after everything was dressed, he lowered his voice and said, "Let's go, little goblin." ”

Zhang Ning turned his head with a sweet smile on his face, and the whole person was like a peach blossom in full bloom, full of bright light.

Zhang Lang was stunned again, looking at Zhang Ning with straight eyes, and he was horny.

Zhang Ning saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart, she said softly: "General, let's go." ”

Zhang Lang woke up like a dream at this time, and shouted in his heart: Zhang Ning is really an out-and-out vixen, and he usually said that he has restrained himself in the military camp, and he doesn't feel it very much. But now that she is letting go, she only needs one look and one action to seduce people's three souls and seven spirits. If the concentration is a little worse, I am afraid that I will have too much desire and die of sperm. Thinking of this, Zhang Lang couldn't help but be amazed.

Zhang Lang thought as soon as he left, took Zhang Ning out of the study, and soon came to the conference room, Tian Feng had been waiting for a long time.

Tian Feng was obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Ning to be here. After being in a daze for half a second, the old man quickly came back to his senses and stood up to greet Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang waved his hand, signaling him not to be polite, and then took his seat, while Zhang Ning stood behind Zhang Lang.

Zhang Lang said: "Fu Hao, you came to me today, I don't know what is important?" ”

Tian Feng glanced at Zhang Ning, and saw that her face was pale pink, her eyes were dripping, the corners of her eyebrows were springy, and she glanced at Zhang Lang with gentle eyes from time to time. While snickering in his heart, he had to say seriously on his face: "Lord, here's the thing, I just got the news that Zhuge Liang has used a plan to break through Fucheng, and 30,000 soldiers are approaching Chengdu, judging from Liu Zhang's weak surname, I'm afraid that it won't take long to surrender." Liu Bei controlled Chengdu, plus Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other important strongholds on the periphery, Shuzhong was already in their pocket. If Liu Bei can control Sichuan, Ma Teng occupies Shaanxi and Xiliang, plus the people of the lord Jiangnan, are you ready to carry out the next course of action? ”

Zhang Lang pondered for a while and said: "I understand what you mean, but judging from the current situation, Liu Bei will have to wait for a while if he wants to really establish himself in Sichuan." And our army has been fighting for many years, and it really needs to rest and recuperate for a while. In addition, Jiaozhou is undecided, which is really a big trouble. Now we can only start to march into the Central Plains after the conditions are ripe in all respects. ”

Tian Feng was a little puzzled: "Lord, my subordinates have never understood why they have to launch a Liu Bei to occupy Shuchuan and join forces with him to march into the Central Plains?" With the ability and strength of the lord, after taking Jingzhou, it will not take long to reach Chengdu, not only to complete the Yangtze River defense line, but also not to worry about Liu Bei sitting big, and it will be difficult to deal with it by then. ”

Zhang Lang smiled slightly, and said confidently: "No matter how much Liu Bei plays, he can't jump out of the palm of my hand." Fu Hao, have you ever thought that since we have been in Xuzhou, in just a few years, the speed of development is too rapid, and the territory is infinitely expanding, although this is a good thing, but if it is beyond our ability to bear, we have not seen any good results. ”

Tian Feng sighed and nodded: "This subordinate also understands that in the first battle of Jingchu, there was a shortage of food and grass, and it was difficult to continue the military resources, if it weren't for the help of Pang Tong and Miss Huang at the last moment, I'm afraid we would have to return to Jiangxia in ashes." The lack of background is indeed a big problem. But this doesn't necessarily have to be Liu Bei's march into Bashu? ”

Zhang Lang saw that Tian Feng was still talking about this matter, and said a little strangely: "Fu Hao, what's wrong with you today?" Suddenly, as if he was so worried that something would happen to Liu Bei? ”

Tian Feng shook his head and said with a heavy heart: "The subordinates are not worried about Liu Bei, but about Zhuge Liang." This person is indeed very experienced, at first his subordinates didn't understand why the lord respected this person so much, but seeing that Liu Bei had only been in Sichuan for a year and a half, he hit Chengdu and forced Liu Zhang to hand over Chengdu City. You must know that Liu Bei's troops in Sichuan are only 30,000, and they are like rootless wanderers, and there is no base camp at all. And Liu Zhang has more than 100,000 armor, and there are even more dangerous terrain guarding each other, and now he can get to this point, I am afraid that it is all the credit of Zhuge Liang. ”

Zhang Lang nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, without Zhuge Liang Liu Bei is nothing." ”

Tian Feng said worriedly: "Liu Bei is a hero, although he is inferior to strategizing and attacking the city, but selling people's hearts is definitely his specialty." He is very aware of his strengths and weaknesses, and because of this, he obeys Zhuge Liang's words. When the time comes, Liu Kangcao, the main public alliance, said that it is an alliance, and it is not clear when we make a move. Even if Cao Ying is killed, I am afraid that Liu Bei will become a more difficult warlord to deal with. ”

Zhang Lang told Tian Feng that his scalp was a little numb, if this was the case, didn't he lift a stone to shoot himself in the foot? Zhang Lang remembered the evaluation of Zhuge Liang in history, and felt cold in his heart. But at this scene, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Don't worry, Zhuge Liang is not without shortcomings, this person is too cautious, as long as he can catch this, Zhuge Liang has nothing to be afraid of." ”

Tian Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's better to find traces." In fact, it is too early to say this. By the way, my lord, there is one more thing I want to tell you. ”

Zhang Lang scolded with a smile: "There is no good thing for you to come, and you will not report good news." ”

Tian Feng said with a smile: "All the good things are taken away by others, and the subordinates can only be bad guys with the black pot." ”

Zhang Langle said: "Then what else is going on?" ”

Tian Feng's expression began to be solemn and said, "It's about Lu Bu." ”

Zhang Lang was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?" Is there something wrong with it? ”

Tian Feng smiled bitterly: "Lu Bu is indeed a problem person. Recently, I have heard a lot of rumors about him, and my subordinates have also checked it, and it seems that there are really some problems. ”

Zhang Lang said impatiently: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Tian Feng said: "Because the lord did not bring Lu Bu with him when he attacked Liu Biao this time, he was dissatisfied in his heart, and he kept nagging in front of the soldiers, slandering the lord, and everyone was afraid of his bravery, so he didn't dare to speak out." ”

Zhang Lang's heart widened, and he smiled loosely: "Just like this? Hehe, I thought it was a big deal. ”

Tian Feng continued: "If that's all there is to it, then that's it. The scary thing is that it is rumored that he has recently gotten very close to Cao Ying's messenger. If that's the case, then it's not good. ”

"What?" Zhang Lang was taken aback, almost jumping up from his chair and shouting.

Tian Feng's reaction to Zhang Lang was not strange at all, and said solemnly: "This matter must not be negligent, the lord must strictly investigate and deal with it." ”

Zhang Lang quickly replied calmly, remembering that Lu Bu followed Ding Yi first, followed Dong Zhuo, and was named as a slave with the third surname, if he really ignored him because he was cold, he was depressed, and it was very possible to have an eye with Cao Ying. Because he is a person who can no longer be inferred by common sense, capricious, acting at will, centering himself on everything, and never thinking about the consequences. Zhang Lang stomped back and forth two steps, and said a little anxiously: "Tian Feng, this matter is groundless, you must not listen to other people's rumors and conclude that there is indeed such a thing." ”

Tian Feng said: "My subordinates understand, now it's just a reminder to the lord." ”

Zhang Lang suddenly said coldly: "It seems that he doesn't want me to be quiet for a while." Okay, Tian Feng, you go to Lu Bu's mansion immediately, go and call him, and say I want to see him. Let him hurry up. ”

Tian Feng nodded and said, "My subordinates understand, so let's do it." With that, he said goodbye and went down to do his errands.

Zhang Lang watched Tian Feng walk out of the hall, his mood slowly calmed down, and he just said to himself: "Lu Bu, Lu Bu, I have been putting up with you, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will tell you to walk around without eating." ”

Zhang Ning didn't speak until this time: "General, do you want me to pick some guards over, in case something happens, I can correct him on the spot." ”

Zhang Lang thought about it, shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." By the way, you go back and rest first, Lu Bu is not suitable for you to meet. ”

Zhang Ning responded with a light "en" and retreated.

After Tian Feng and Zhang Ning went out one after another, the room was quiet, and Zhang Lang sat down again, thinking carefully about how to talk to Lu Bu.

At this time, Han Xue came in, and she saluted Zhang Langyingying and said, "General, Zhang Zhao wants to see you." ”

"Damn? Why are there so many things? Zhang Lang scolded secretly and said, "Let him come in." ”

When he was young, Han Xue brought Zhang Zhao in.

Zhang Zhao was obviously overworked, his complexion was not very good, his face was a little yellow, and his temples began to turn white.

When Zhang Lang saw him like this, he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Zibu, what's wrong with you, I don't see that your face is very good?" Tired, right? ”

Zhang Zhao said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, my subordinates just stayed up for a few nights, and they didn't get in the way." ”

Zhang Lang asked, "Is there any problem?" Makes you work so hard? ”

Zhang Zhao said helplessly: "My lord, can you stop the production of the latest large warships and the development of gunpowder first?" ”

Zhang Lang's face was solemn, and he said unhappily: "What's wrong?" You won't say that the treasury is empty, right? ”

Zhang Zhao sighed: "Almost." ”

Zhang Lang stretched his head forward and said with curiosity on his face: "What is your reason today?" ”

Zhang Zhao said with some excitement: "That's the case, recently a large mining area was discovered in Danyang County, but due to the difficulty of capital and military turnover, it is temporarily unable to develop, and his subordinates want to use the funds for the development of gunpowder and the manufacture of warships, and then invest in military research and development again after the development of this mining area." ”

When Zhang Lang heard this, he was a little bored and said, "You said this reason last time." ”

Zhang Zhao was a little anxious and said: "This time is obviously different from last time. ”

Zhang Lang didn't seem to be interested in listening, and his mood was not high: "It's not the same, Zibu, we are in Jiangnan, and the fleet is our strong weapon, we can lose anything, this can't be lost." ”

Zhang Zhao was really anxious, and hurriedly spoke: "This time the minerals are extremely rich and the quantity is huge, as long as they can be developed, within a year, the harvest will definitely be several times more than in previous years." ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "Look at you, you are cheating on children here again, you said the same thing last time, and you almost starved me to death." ”

Zhang Zhao scratched his head anxiously, and he didn't know how to say it properly.

Although Zhang Lang was not interested, he still asked, "What mines have you discovered today?" Iron ore? Coal? ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's better than these." ”

Zhang Lang smiled dumbly and said, "It can't be a diamond mine, right?" Ha ha. ”

Zhang Zhao was puzzled: "What is diamond ore?" ”

Zhang Lang said indifferently: "You don't know if you say it." ”

Zhang Zhaodao: "Although I don't know what diamond ore is, what I discovered this time is gold ore. ”

"Gold mines?" Zhang Lang looked at Zhang Zhao suspiciously, lifted his chin with his hand, and asked with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Zhao said seriously: "It's a gold mine." ”

Zhang Lang saw that he was so serious, his face changed from disbelief and suspicion at the beginning, and slowly turned into surprise: "Is it really a gold mine?" ”

Zhang Zhao said categorically: "Yes, if it is not a gold mine, the heads of his subordinates are willing to be handed over to the lord for safekeeping." ”

Zhang Lang stood up excitedly, grabbed Zhang Zhao's weak shoulders with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?" ”

Zhang Zhao nodded vigorously and said, "Sure." ”

Zhang Lang shouted "Ahhh Extremely rich in minerals? ”

Seeing that Zhang Lang was so excited, Zhang Zhao also said happily: "Yes." ”

Zhang Lang "hahaha" looked up to the sky and smiled, the depression just now was swept away, and he said happily: "Okay, if it is really a gold mine, I will allow you to recover other funds, but you have to give me an accurate time, when will the mining area start to pay off?" ”

Zhang Zhao didn't want to think about it: "At the end of the year." ”
