After Wu Shun was invented, Zhang Song of the Ministry of Commerce saw a business opportunity. He asked Wu Shun for his consent to make checkers in batches and sell them.

Ordinary checkers can be made simply, but the cost is not too high. If they are all like Wu Shun, who can afford to use jade as checkers.

However, Wu Shun still told Zhang Song to make a few more expensive pairs.

In order to make checkers sell better, Wu Shun told Zhang Song that playing checkers can make people smarter and wise.

With this sentence, in the official shops in Yizhou, people lined up to buy checkers, and checkers were sold directly!

The checkers invented by the King of Shu, which can improve intelligence, attracted countless people as soon as they were launched. Of course, the people who bought them for Wu Shun accounted for the majority.

This may be the earliest celebrity benefit. Wu Shun personally advertised checkers. Checkers are originally puzzle games and can develop intelligence. People can play this more than mahjong.

With official boost, checkers are popular in Chengdu. Due to mass production of workshops, checkers are very cheap and almost every household has them.

People will play two games when they are idle.

Go is not something that ordinary people can play, but checkers are simple. They are the type that can be played and get more and more adept at playing. They are very popular.

...

In the 13th year of Jian'an, many major events happened, such as the Wuling Army's capture of Xudu, Jiangxia, and Xuzhou, thus shaking the world.

Cao Cao and Wu Shun successively proclaimed kings, which made the Han Dynasty die in name only. Now people only know that there is a powerful Shu Kingdom and a very powerful Lu Kingdom in the world. The concept of the Han Dynasty has gradually faded.

In February of the 14th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan became king in Jiangdong. Jiangdong was renamed Wu State, and Sun Quan was named King of Wu. Jianye was the center of the power political military advisor of Wu State!

When Sun Quan was called king, Wu Shu sent Xu Shu as an envoy to congratulate him, and at the same time, he sent Gan Ning, the chief commander of the navy, to accompany him to guard him.

However, when Xu Shu returned to Chengdu, he brought back a bad news. Because of this, Xu Shu hurried back.

The Shu Palace, the main hall of the Secretariat, and several ministers from the Military Affairs Office were there. The news Xu Shu received from Jianye made several people fall into deep thought.

"What do you think about Cao Cao's envoy appears in Jiangdong?" Wu Shun asked.

It was not interesting to be the king of Cao Cao. Sun Quan was the king of Sun Quan, and Cao Cao sent an envoy, but Sun Quan did not shy away and directly and generously received him. This is worth pondering.

"Your Majesty, I think Jiangdong and Qingzhou must have reached some agreement, otherwise Cao Cao's envoy would not blatantly let Yuan Zhi see it." Fa Zheng said.

"King, Lu and Wu may form an alliance to resist our Shu Kingdom." Zhuge Liang said.

"Kong Ming, Wu is our ally." Wu Shun said.

Does Sun Quan really care about it? His sister is still in Chengdu.

"The king doesn't know that Sun Quan is definitely not a person who is inferior to others. Since he is king, he should try every means to get rid of the influence of Shu Kingdom on him. To achieve this goal, he naturally has to form an alliance with Cao Cao." Zhuge Liang explained.

As Sun Quan became king, Wu would have his own demands. Everyone knows that after Shu destroyed Lu, Wu would be the next one.

Sun Quan is not the kind of hero who will give up his own foundation. If you want to maintain your position and his own foundation, you will only have the chance to unite with Cao Cao.

Sun Quan was not stupid. He contacted Cao Cao in Qingzhou before he became king. The two sides hit it off with the alliance.

It seems that Sun Cao's resistance to Wu is a foregone conclusion!

"It would be a bit troublesome when they joined forces. The Wu navy is not weak, and Cao Cao still has enough force. If we really want to fight, it will be difficult for our Wuling army to gain a advantage." Wu Shun said.

"King, what can we do if they unite? The Wuling army is powerful and has already shocked the world. Now the number of troops in Lu and Wu is not as large as ours. As long as we dare to fight to the decisive battle, they will definitely be the ones who will lose." Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia never did something like gaining ambition from others. No matter how powerful the enemy is, the Wuling Army can directly crush it if it drives over.

"Haha, Fengxiao is right. So what can Cao Cao and Sun Quan form an alliance? As long as you dare to take action, just press it back."

Wu Shun smiled. If it weren't for Guo Jia's bloody nature, he might have forgotten the current situation of the Wuling Army.

The Wuling Army has been a nightmare for the enemy since the war!

What's more, the White Tiger Legion is expanding, and when Zhang Xiong completes training, the strength of the Wuling Army will increase again.

Shu Kingdom has a wide territory, no shortage of resources and troops, and no worries about food and grass supply. The granaries of Shu Kingdom are already full of food and grass, and no matter when war is launched, Shu Kingdom can bear it.

But if it is almost March, there is no war, otherwise it will destroy the harvest of the year.

"King, if the Wu Kingdom of Lu really forms an alliance, after the spring planting, you can send troops to test it." Zhuge Liang said.

The current strength of Shu Kingdom has reached the time to do whatever it wants.

Wu Shun directly agreed to Zhuge Liang's suggestion. As for today, the attack is the strongest and is very close to his target. If Wu Shun hadn't been calm, he would have sent troops to attack Cao Cao long ago.

To completely defeat the enemy, you need to be well prepared and a suitable opportunity.

The Wuling Army has never been bad for its strength, and now it is just waiting for an opportunity to send troops.

"Lord, the second general is asking for a meeting!" Qu'a's voice sounded outside the door.

"Come in!" Wu Shun ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiong and Mulu King walked into the hall together.

"Second brother, Mu Lu, what's the matter with you?" Wu Shun asked.

"Brother, the recruitment work of the White Tiger Legion has been completed, and only training is left. In addition, there are some situations in Mulu's beast cavalry," said Zhang Xiong.

"Mulu, what's wrong with your beast cavalry?" Wu Shun asked Mulu.

"King, the Southern Barbarians sent another 400 tigers. Now the beast cavalry has the conditions and want to ask the king for expansion." Mu Lu said.

After such a long time, the beast cavalry finally ushered in a day of development and growth. It was a bit shabby to fight with one hundred people.

"Oh, the tiger has it, where is the knight?"

Wu Shun asked.

In general, Wu Shun would only instruct and would not participate in anything else when he expanded the legion.

The beast cavalry is quite special. The knights before were all southern barbarians. Now there is no southern barbarian who is qualified to join the beast cavalry.

Those with some conditions were selected and were selected by Meng Huo into the new army.

"There will be a request at the end, please accept it with great pleasure." Mu Lu said.

"you say."

"I will eventually want to select 400 people from each legion to train." Mulu said.

"Yes." Wu Shun agreed directly. The beast cavalry is in scale, which is very scary.

Not to mention the soldiers, just saying that 500 tigers ran out would be enough to scare some timid people to death.

"Lord, you can choose a person, but you can't choose it in the personal guard camp." Qu A protested.

His personal guard camp only had two thousand people, and these people were the most elite part of the army. Not to mention four hundred, even four, Qu A couldn't bear to leave.

"Don't worry, General Qu'a, anemia is the lord's personal guard, how dare Mulu choose people?" As Mulu said this, Qu'a's heart was relieved.
