Chapter 318: Battle of the City Wall

The Qilin Legion had its main general. At the beginning, the elite troops in the Wuling Army were dissatisfied with Zhao Yun's face.

However, Zhao Yun was the chief general arranged by Wu Shun himself, and the soldiers did not dare to disobey the emperor. It was not until he saw Zhao Yun's martial arts that he was impressed.

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

The General's Mansion in the West, a monthly conference is underway. Wu Shun has issued several established policies. However, one of them is about the expansion of Chengdu City. The opinions of the ministers in Yizhou have not been unified.

"Lord, the new city is unreasonable, how can we build a city like this? There is no city wall, and there has been no such city since ancient times."

Wang Lei went out to advise him, but he could not imagine what a big city without city wall defense 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 ran to the general's mansion and asked to do something for the people.

It is a good thing for someone to join him, so Wu Shun naturally agreed. Wang Lei is sometimes too stubborn and likes to persuade him. It is not okay to disagree! Usually Wu Shun will not give him the opportunity to meet him alone.

"Lord, Lord Wang is right. With the protection of tall city walls and moats, only those living in the city will feel at ease. It is not advisable not to set up a city wall after expansion!"

Fa Zheng said, and he also thought Wu Shun's thoughts were too incredible.

"Everyone, are there any other opinions that are the same as the two adults?"

Wu Shun stretched and moved his body. He also knew that his thoughts were a little forward. It was normal for the officials to understand for a while.

"Lord, it's better to take back your life. This is not enough!"

OK, Wu Shun was stunned now. The civil and military officials present, including Zhuge Liang and Dongfang Qiang, did not leave the list, and the rest believed that the city wall was indispensable for a city. Even the new member of Zhao Yun believed so.

"Dongfang, what do you think?"

Wu Shun suddenly wanted to know Dongfangqiang's opinion. Chengdu city is very large and will be even bigger after expansion. Generals like Dongfangqiang are more thinking about how to defend this big city without city walls if Chengdu is in chaos one day.

The named Dongfangqiang stepped out of the list in one step:

"The last general believes that as the base camp of Yizhou, the role of the city wall of Chengdu City is very small and basically does not play a protective role. If an enemy can attack Chengdu all the way, the Wuling Army will be killed and injured at that time, what's the use of the tall and majestic city wall?"

"So, Dongfang, do you think Chengdu can be free from building a new city wall?"

Wu Shun's eyes lit up, and Dongfang Qiang's statement was about his appetite.

"Yes, the last general waits for the Wuling Army soldiers, and will never let the enemy enter Chengdu! A safe Chengdu can be free from the city wall!"

Dongfang Qiang said it firmly. With the elite of the Wuling Army, he also mastered many levels. If he could not stop the enemy, what would a city wall do?

"Everyone? The words of the East can represent all the soldiers. With them here, Chengdu is safe! Do you still have any questions?"

A city has its most powerful defensive power always originated from the army guarding the city. With the promise of Dongfangqiang, those officials who insist on their own opinions bowed their heads and thought hard.

It is indeed as Dongfang Qiang said, if the entire Wuling army was defeated, Chengdu would have the only way to lose.

However, Wu Shun wanted to expand Chengdu but was unwilling to rebuild the city wall. There must be a reason.

"Lord, you guys must be worried about civil strife in Chengdu..."

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

After the officials all saw it, Zhuge Liang continued:

"The foreign enemy, the soldiers of the Wuling Army, are fighting outside, but this civil strife is difficult to deal with. If there is no city wall, the bandits will flee and it will be difficult to control!"

"Yeah yeah."

"Mr. Zhuge is right..."

Zhuge Liang's words were approved by everyone, and they were indeed afraid of civil strife. When there is chaos today, anything can happen.

"So I'm afraid of civil strife? With your help, I think there will be no civil strife in Yizhou! What do you think, Kong Ming?"

Wu Shun looked at Zhuge Liang, and this sentence was what he said to him. Yizhou was left to you to manage, and civil strife was your problem. You bullied others, so others would rise up and resist you.

"Lord, now everyone in Yizhou lives and works in peace and contentment, how can civil strife happen? With the black-clothed guards, the civil strife was extinguished before it broke out."

Zhuge Liang bowed to Wu Shun and looked at Wang Yue opposite him. The commander of the black-clothed guard was becoming more and more mysterious. If it weren't for such a monthly conference, he wouldn't have appeared.

Quiet... After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the entire front hall was heard. Wu Shun knew it was time to summarize it himself, and it was not good to always scare his officials like this.

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

"Of course, there is no need to be rebuilt!"

The officials answered together, and this time they answered very neatly. They did forget the existence of the Black Guard just now. Now when they think about it, they can't help but feel chills on their backs!

When Wu Shun first entered Chengdu, a family disappeared out of thin air every once in a while. Such a terrifying thing now seems to be the Black Guard's method.

"Sir, please rest assured, the Black Guard will only kill the evil people." Wang Yue said coldly.

The official looked at him with a little dodging, which made Wang Yue unhappy. The black-clad guard did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he could do his best. What should he be afraid of?

"Haha, with the black-clothed guards here, there is no need to waste manpower and material resources in the expanded city wall."

Zhang Song said that he was a little greedy and often collected money to do business. Now he is in charge of business activities in Yizhou and has great power. Naturally, there are many people who curry favor with him.

Under Wu Shun's command, he dared not be as blatant as before. It was all the benefits of taking it secretly. Wang Yue spoke today and stared at him just now. What is this?

"It seems that I have to be restrained. No matter how much the Black Guard cares, it should be the lord's suppression. Wang Yue knows it, and the lord must have known it too. Do your work for the lord, and you cannot let your lord down your lord's love!" Zhang Song said intimidly. Wang Yue's glance just now scared him.

Wang Yue did look at Zhang Song with a little meaningful look just now. Wu Shun also knew some of the dirty things in Zhang Song in secret.

However, without harming the interests of Yizhou, he was not going to pursue it. He wanted to see if Zhang Song's greed was limitless! 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 opinions and stopped 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 unswerving people, sooner or later will be the day when Chengdu will not be able to hold on.

"Okay, since you have no objection, then let's settle it. This matter is left to Zhang Song. Let me take a look at the planning diagram as soon as possible!" Wu Shun said.

"Uh, lord, leave it to me?"

Zhang Song was a little stunned. Why did this fall on him?

"Who else can be competent for this if you don't leave it to you? Don't be afraid of spending money, be sure to plan well. Chengdu will only get bigger and bigger!"

"Lord, Zhang Song remembers it!"

The city expansion was like this, Wu Shun handed it over to Zhang Song, and forced another wave of loyalty.

"After Chengdu is expanded, the city wall will not be built. In fact, the city wall has its benefits and disadvantages! You only think about its protection, but you don't see its shortcomings. Chengdu's population is increasing, and the city wall has become an obstacle to Chengdu's development and growth!"
