At the entrance of the laboratory, Zhang Liang was dressed in black, standing in the open space like a javelin.
Even though he was missing an arm, not even the Ninth Princess dared to underestimate him.
Qin'er, Zhu'er and Bei Qianxun even involuntarily tensed their backs, as if they saw a fierce tiger.
This is the aura that Zhang Liang has honed after months of fighting and the lives of countless bandits!
"Brother Liang, thank you for your hard work!"
Jin Feng took a step forward and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder: "Have the arrangements been made for the Zhenyuan Army and the female workers?"
"It's been arranged," Zhang Liang nodded: "All the female workers were sent to Iron Can Mountain, the Zhenyuan Army went to Jianmen Pass, and the people who followed us were also arranged to go to various factories."
Along the way Zhang Liang walked, many desperate people followed Zhenyuan's army.
Jin Feng once told Zhang Liang that people are the foundation of everything. Only with people can we continue to develop.
Therefore, Zhang Liang did not drive away the people, but instead distributed some food to the victims every time after suppressing the bandits.
Walking back from Xichuan, more and more victims followed them.
These people arrived in Jinchuan and greatly made up for the labor gap in various factories.
"What's going on over there at Jianmen Pass? Isn't the guard still cooperating with the handover?" Jin Feng frowned and asked, "Do you want me to go there?"
"No need, Jianmen Pass has been taken." Zhang Liang shook his head.
"How did you get it?" Jin Feng asked.
"Brother Feng, I know this!"
Before Zhang Liang could speak, Liu Tie stepped forward and vividly recounted the process of Zhang Liang taking over Jianmen Pass.
The guard general of Jianmen Pass was originally from a powerful family in the capital. He only wanted to get some benefits by embarrassing Liu Tie before.
Later, the Ninth Princess beheaded so many powerful people, including members of the family behind the guard.
So the guard general received a message from the capital that Jianmen Pass could not be handed over to the Zhenyuan Army under any circumstances.
Zhang Liang led the Zhenyuan Army to Jianmen Pass. Instead of causing trouble, he had people pretend to be bandits and robbed the team transporting supplies to Jianmen Pass.
The food stored in Jianmen Pass can last for a long time. Even if there is no supply, the defender can still hold on.
Would Zhang Liang let him pass so easily? Of course not!
That night, the granary in Jianmen Pass caught fire and was burned to nothing...
The granary was burned, and the grain and grass were robbed. The old soldiers guarding the gate soon couldn't bear it any longer, and they came out on their own after only two days.
After coming out, Zhang Liang directly put a knife on the guard's neck and asked him to complete the remaining procedures.
After completing the handover procedures, Zhang Liang did not face any further difficulties and left the guard happily.
However, not far from Jianmen Pass, the guard encountered bandits and died in the mountains.
"Brother Liang, how did you burn down the granary?"
Tang Dongdong asked curiously.
"Could it be that Sir has deployed manpower at Jianmen Pass in advance?" Ninth Princess guessed.
The terrain of Jianmen Pass is dangerous, and the city wall is flat and smooth, making it impossible for experts like Qin'er to climb over it.
Apart from arranging manpower in advance, Ninth Princess could not think of any other way Zhang Liang could burn down the granary.
The guard thought the same as the Ninth Princess, thinking that there was a mole, so he beheaded several soldiers and petty officials in charge of food and grass.
Zhang Liang smiled and did not answer.
Tang Dongdong and Ninth Princess couldn't figure it out, but Jin Feng guessed it all at once.
Zhang Liang must have used a hot air balloon.
But no matter what, as long as we can successfully win Jianmen Pass.
Jin Feng gave a thumbs up to Zhang Liang: "Brother Liang, you still have a way."
"The art of war taught by sir is amazing."
Zhang Liang shook his head modestly.
"I gave the same strategy to Qing Mulan. Wasn't she surrounded by bandits in Wulang Mountain and unable to move?"
Jin Feng looked at Zhang Liang with admiration in his eyes.
It’s okay not to admit it, some people are geniuses.
For example, Wan Heming's talent in the mechanical field was even inferior to that of Jin Feng.
Jin Feng hadn't had time to teach him properly, but he was able to improve the loom on his own just by relying on some basic information Jin Feng gave him.
Zhang Liang's talent is reflected in the use of troops.
The art of war given by Jin Feng was actually very simple, but for Zhang Liang, it served as an outline and gave him a clear understanding of many of his previous general ideas.
Not only that, Zhang Liang was also very good at adapting. He did not completely copy the tactics of war, but used them flexibly.
Sometimes to attack a bandit, several tactics can be used.
Jin Feng was very glad that he discovered Zhang Liang's talent, and Zhang Liang was also very grateful to Jin Feng for giving him the art of war and giving him enough trust to give him room to display his talents.
If it weren't for Jin Feng, Zhang Liang might still be digging in the fields right now.
The same goes for Wan Heming. If it weren't for Jin Feng, he and his sister would have ended up in nowhere.
It's extremely difficult for adults to live these days, and a kid like him might not even be able to survive the winter.
No matter how talented you are in mechanics, it's all in vain.
"Sir, I have already installed heavy crossbows and catapults at Jianmen Pass. We don't need that many people to guard the pass, so I want to deploy some Zhenyuan troops to help the Escort deliver goods. What do you think?" Zhang Liang asked
.
"Okay!" Jin Feng nodded in agreement.
The Zhenyuan Army has a full strength of five thousand men, and only a few hundred men are enough to guard Jianmen Pass.
There are more than 4,000 people left, and it is impossible for Jin Feng to let them stay in the military camp every day.
Letting them go out to suppress bandits will not only create value, but also serve as a training force.
Now that the bodyguards and the Zhenyuan Army are under Zhang Liang's jurisdiction, he is very busy every day and leaves after asking for instructions.
As soon as Zhang Liang left, Liu came over again to announce that Lao Tian was here.
"What are you asking about when Lao Tian is here? Just bring him in!"
Jin Feng turned around and walked towards the door.
When the Ninth Princess saw this, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and her mind quickly thought about who Lao Tian was, so that Jin Feng paid so much attention to him.
After thinking for a while, I remembered that Lao Tian was the person in charge of the glass workshop.
Nowadays, Shui Yuzhu brings a steady stream of cash flow to Xihewan, and Lao Tian has played an important role in this.
Although Jinfeng did not impose any mandatory regulations, in order to prevent the glass formula from being spread out, Lao Tian and several workers stayed in the glass workshop for food and accommodation and did not even return home.
Today, Lao Tian came out of the glass workshop after hearing from the guard guard that Jin Feng was back.
Before Jin Feng could reach the door, Da Liu had already brought people in.
"Sir, you are finally back!"
When Lao Tian saw Jin Feng, he smiled honestly.
Then he saw the Ninth Princess and quickly saluted.
For those whom Jin Feng valued, Princess Ninth would not put on airs and raised her hand with a smile.
"Old Tian, sit down!"
Jin Feng brought Lao Tian into the study, pointed to the stool, and then asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
Lao Tian raised his head and looked at the Ninth Princess, Tang Dongdong and the others, but hesitated to speak.
"It's okay, we are all our own people, let's talk." Jin Feng said.
Then Lao Tian said: "Sir, the mirror you asked me to make is finished!"
"How much can you do every day?" Jin Feng asked.
"A few of us take turns doing it, so we can make dozens of noodles a day without any problem."
"Haha, there is another way to make money."
When Jin Feng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
