Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 320 The Battle of the City Wall
The Qilin Legion had a general. At the beginning, those elites in the Wuling Army felt dissatisfied when they saw Zhao Yun's face.

However, Zhao Yun was the chief general personally arranged by Wu Shun, and the soldiers did not dare to obey others.It was not until he saw Zhao Yun's martial arts that he was convinced.

Everything in the Qilin Legion is developing in a good direction.With the efforts of all civil and military officials, the overall strength of Yizhou is slowly growing.

In General Zhengxi's Mansion, a monthly meeting is underway.Wu Shun has promulgated several established policies.But one of them is about the expansion of Chengdu City.The opinions of Yizhou officials have not been unified.

"My lord, the planning of the new city is unreasonable. How can the city be built like this? There is not even a city wall, and there has been no such city since ancient times."

Wang Lei came out to persuade him. He really couldn't imagine what a big city without city walls would look like.

After Liu Zhang opened the city and surrendered, Wang Lei resigned and returned home.When Wu Shun's various measures achieved results in Yizhou, Wang Lei went to the general's mansion by himself and asked to do something for the people.

It's a good thing for someone to defect, so Wu Shun naturally agreed?This Wang Lei is sometimes too stubborn, and he likes to persuade him, so it’s okay if he doesn’t agree!Usually Wu Shun would not let him have the opportunity to meet him alone.

"My lord, Lord Wang is right. With the protection of a tall city wall and a moat, people living in the city will feel at ease. It is not advisable not to build a city wall after the expansion!"

Fazheng came out and said that he also felt that Wu Shun's idea was too unbelievable.

"Everyone, is there anyone who agrees with the two adults?"

Wu Shun stretched his waist and moved his body.He also knew that his thoughts were a bit forward.It is normal for officials not to understand for a while.

"My lord, it's better to take it back, it won't work!"

Well, now Wu Shun was dumbfounded.Among the civil and military officials present, only Zhuge Liang and Dongfang Qiang did not come out, and the rest believed that a city wall was indispensable to a city.Even the newcomer Zhao Yun thinks so.

"East, what do you think?"

Wu Shun suddenly wanted to know Dongfang Qiang's opinion. Chengdu City is very big, and it will be even bigger after expansion.Generals like Dongfang Qiang think more about how to defend this big city without walls if Chengdu is in chaos one day.

The named Dongfang Qiang took a step forward and said:

"The last general believes that the city walls of Chengdu City, as the base camp of Yizhou, have little effect. Basically, they have no protective effect. If the enemy can attack all the way to Chengdu, the Wuling army will be dead and wounded by then. What's the use of tall and majestic walls? "

"So, Dongfang, do you think Chengdu doesn't need to build a new city wall?"

Wu Shun's eyes lit up, and what Dongfang Qiang said was to his liking.

"That's right, the last general is waiting for the soldiers of the Wuling Army, and will never let the enemy enter Chengdu! A safe Chengdu does not need city walls!"

Dongfang Qiang said very firmly, with the Wuling army being elite and mastering numerous checkpoints, if this can't stop the enemy, what effect can a city wall have?
"Everyone? Dongfang's words can represent all soldiers. With them around, Chengdu is safe! Do you have any questions?"

For a city, its strongest defensive force always comes from the army defending the city.With Dongfangqiang's promise, those officials who insisted on their own views bowed their heads and thought hard.

Indeed, as Dongfang Qiang said, if the entire Wuling army is defeated, Chengdu will only be defeated.

However, Wu Shun wanted to expand the capital, but he was unwilling to rebuild the city wall. There must be reasons for it.

"My lord, you adults must be worried that if there is civil turmoil in Chengdu..."

Zhuge Liang stopped immediately after speaking halfway. At this time, his words had successfully attracted everyone's attention.

After the officials all looked over, Zhuge Liang continued:
"Foreign enemies are free and the generals and soldiers of the Wuling Army are fighting outside, but the internal strife is hard to deal with. If there is no city wall, the bandits will flee and it is difficult to control!"

"Yeah yeah."

"Master Zhuge is right..."

Zhuge Liang's words won the approval of the big guys. They are indeed afraid of civil strife.In today's chaotic world, anything can happen.

"So it's because you're afraid of civil strife? With your help, I don't think there will be any civil strife in Yizhou! What do you think, Kong Ming?"

Wu Shun looked at Zhuge Liang, and this sentence was addressed to him.Yizhou is entrusted to you to take care of, and if there is civil strife, it is your problem.You have bullied others, so others will rise up against you.

"My lord, now that everyone in Yizhou lives and works in peace and contentment, how can there be civil strife. With the black guards here, the civil strife will be suppressed before it breaks out."

Zhuge Liang bowed his hands to Wu Shun and glanced at Wang Yue who was opposite him.The commander of the guard in black is getting more and more mysterious.If it weren't for this once-a-month meeting, he wouldn't have appeared.

Quiet... After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the entire front hall could hear needles falling.Wu Shun knew that it was time to conclude by himself, and it was not good to scare his officials like this all the time.

"Since that's the case, Chengdu doesn't have to worry about internal troubles or accidents, so what about the city wall?" Wu Shun said halfway.

"Naturally there is no need to rebuild!"

The officials answered in unison, this time in a particularly neat manner.They had indeed forgotten the existence of the black guard just now.Thinking about it now, I can't help but get chills down my spine!

When Wu Shun first entered Chengdu, a family disappeared out of thin air every once in a while.Such a horrific thing now seems to be the method of the black guard.

"My lords, please don't worry, the black guards only punish the wicked." Wang Yue said coldly.

The official looked at him a little evasively, which made Wang Yue unhappy.The guards in black don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, as long as they do their jobs well, what are they afraid of?
"Hehe, with the guards in black, there is no need to waste manpower and material resources on the expanded city wall."

Zhang Song said that he was a little greedy for money.Often receive money to do things for others.Now he is in charge of Yizhou's commercial activities and has great power.There are naturally many people who flatter him.

Under Wu Shun's command, he still didn't dare to be as blatant as before.They are all benefits obtained secretly.Today Wang Yue spoke and just stared at him, what is the meaning of this?

"It seems to be restrained. The black-clothed guards don't care about it. It should be the lord who suppressed it. Wang Yue knows it, and the lord must also know it. Do things for the lord well, and you can't live up to the lord's love!" Zhang Song secretly said.Wang Yue's look just now scared him a lot.

Wang Yue did stare at Zhang Song meaningfully just now.Wu Shun also knew about Zhang Song's dirty work behind the scenes.

However, on the premise of not harming the interests of Yizhou, he is not going to pursue it.He wanted to see if there was any limit to Zhang Song's greed!Fortunately, under Wang Yue's warning eyes, Zhang Song made up his mind to do things well.

After Zhang Song spoke, the officials had no opinion, and no longer insisted on building the city wall.

The expansion of Chengdu is imperative, and more and more refugees are pouring into Chengdu. With Wu Shun's style of not rejecting anyone who comes, sooner or later, Chengdu will not be able to contain people.

"Okay, since there is no opinion, let's make a decision. Zhang Song will be in charge of this matter. Show me the planning map as soon as possible!" Wu Shun said.

"Uh, my lord, leave it to me?"

Zhang Song was a little dazed, why did this matter fall on him?

"If you don't hand it over to you, who else is competent for this matter? Don't be afraid to spend money, you must plan well. Chengdu will only get bigger and bigger!"

"My lord, Zhang Song has remembered!"

The expansion of the city, such a big matter, Wu Shun just handed it over to Zhang Song.Another wave of loyalty was forced.

"After the expansion of Chengdu, the city wall was not repaired. In fact, the city wall has advantages and disadvantages! You only think of its protection, but you don't see its shortcomings. The population of Chengdu is increasing, and the city wall has become an obstacle to the development of Chengdu!"

This is why Wu Shun is unwilling to continue building the city wall.A wall cannot be allowed to hinder the development of a big city!
