Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 368 Wu Shun talks about Liu Bei

"Kong Ming, how is the expansion work going?"

Putting aside the affairs of the college students, Wu Shun focused on the expansion of Chengdu.

"It's almost finished."

Zhuge Liang replied.

It has been a while since the expansion of Chengdu, and the progress has been very fast due to the voluntary rush of the people and refugees.

"Oh? So fast?"

Wu Shun couldn't believe it. He was always concerned about the situation in the Central Plains, and then Han Suimateng fought. He was also concerned about the war in Liangzhou, and he didn't take much care of Yizhou's internal affairs.This is also caused by being a hands-off shopkeeper for a long time.

"For the displaced people, the expansion of Chengdu is equivalent to building their own homes. Everyone is very hardworking, so the progress is very fast. My lord, you didn't see that the people are working day and night, and they can't wait to finish it immediately."

Expanding a city is not an easy task, and the speed of Chengdu's expansion surprised even Zhuge Liang.

"The city wall was not built, do the people have any objections?"

Wu Shun asked again.How sensational is a big city without a city wall?Wu Shun wanted to know what the people thought.

"At first the people were puzzled, but now they are all relieved."

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing and said: "At the beginning, the city wall was not built, and the people were all flustered. The person in charge of Yuanzhi explained a lot."

"Hahaha, Chengdu is located in the hinterland of Yizhou, what's the use of the city wall?" If the enemy can hit Chengdu, no matter how high the wall is, they won't be able to stop it.It's better not to, this was Wu Shun's initial thought.

"Qu'a, let's go and see what Chengdu will look like in the future."

"It's the lord!"

Having nothing to do, Wu Shun had the urge to go and see for himself, called Qu'a, took Zhuge Liang, and the three of them set off.

"My lord, don't you bring your personal guards?"

Zhuge Liang was a little worried, Wu Shun only brought Qu'a as a guard, what should he do in case of danger?
"Do you still need to bring personal guards in Chengdu? I, Wu Shun, am not that timid."

Even though he said so, Wu Shun still valued his own life very much in his heart.He didn't bring his personal guards, Wang Yue would definitely send black-clothed guards to protect him secretly, there was no problem with his safety.

"My lord's safety concerns the entire Yizhou, so don't be careless."

Wu Shun's safety is of the utmost importance, Zhuge Liang did not joke with Wu Shun, and said with a serious face.There is a stance that Wu Shun will not be allowed to go out without personal guards to protect him.

"Qu'a, bring twenty personal guards."

Being stared at by Zhuge Liang, Wu Shun had no choice but to ask Qu A to appoint twenty guards.Only then did Zhuge Liang have a smile on his serious face.

In the expanded part of Xicheng District, busy people can be seen everywhere.On both sides of the spacious road, there are rows of newly built houses.Wu Shun was very satisfied.

At the beginning, no one paid attention to Wu Shun and his party who came to inspect, but Wu Shun and the others walked around, hindering many people's work.

"Oh my god, let's see who's coming!"

A sharp and excited voice sounded, and the busy people couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and looked at the place where the voice came from.

"Master Wu is here!"

"Master Wu is here!"

The people who found Wu Shun were ecstatic, shouting and getting carried away with excitement.

"Everyone has worked hard, and I came here specially today to have a look. Everyone has worked hard, and I am very happy."

Wu Shun didn't expect people to react like this when they saw him, so he hurriedly greeted everyone.

"Master Wu, you are a good person. Not only did you give us land and houses, but you can also live in Chengdu. We...we..."

An old man became more and more agitated as he spoke, until finally he could not speak at all.He kept wiping away his tears.

"Since everyone has come to Yizhou, they are Yizhou people. As a Yizhou shepherd, he led the emperor to manage Yizhou, Wu Shun can't watch everyone starve and freeze."

It is Wu Shun's sincerity not to see people starving and freezing.Now that he has strength, he will naturally protect more people.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!"

The common people, the refugees, are a group of extremely lovely people.You treat them well, and they will always be in their hearts.Within the scope of their abilities, they will pay silently and do what they can.

If there are no people, the refugees will spontaneously help deliver materials and carry materials.Such a large expansion project in Chengdu will take several years to complete.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Wu Shun hurried forward and said: "Everyone, please get up quickly, this is what Wu Shun should do, I can't afford such a big gift! Get up quickly!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Shun personally helped up the old man just now.Under Wu Shun's repeated request, people got up from the cold ground.

No matter how cold the weather was, it became warm because of Wu Shun's arrival.

Without staying in Xicheng District for too long, Wu Shun led Zhuge Liang, and Qu Ah went to other places.

Wherever Wu Shun appeared, bursts of cheers would erupt, and the spontaneous and sincere cheers were the most moving.

After walking around the city with Wu Shun and seeing the people's love for Wu Shun, Zhuge Liang has more confidence in Yizhou's future.

"Is this the world of those who win the hearts of the people that the Lord said?" Zhuge Liang asked Wu Shun when he returned to the General's Mansion.

"That's right, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. But the hearts of the people are the hearts of all the people in the world, not the hearts of the nobles."

Wu Shun explained.

Although the gentry are now at the top of society, they also need the support of the people at the bottom.Once this foundation is lost, the gentry class will eventually collapse.

"The hearts of the people of the gentry are narrow, and the hearts of the people of the lord are broad. The road to Yizhou will become wider and wider!"

Zhuge Liang said sincerely that Wu Shun hadn't contacted the people before, and Zhuge Liang didn't know that Wu Shun had such a huge appeal.

With the mass base, as long as there are no mistakes in decision-making, Yizhou will be undefeated.

……

"Kong Ming, what do you think of Liu Bei?"

Wu Shun suddenly changed the subject, and it took Zhuge Liang a while to react.

"Liu Bei? The posture of a hero!"

"Now he wants to capture Xuzhou, do you think it is possible?"

Liu Bei and the Chen family have united, and Wu Shun has already received the news.

"Xuzhou has Lu Bu, and Chen Gong is not an ordinary person. Liu Bei's ability is not enough to compete with Lu Bu. With the secret help of Xuzhou's Chen family, it is indeed possible to win Xuzhou."

Zhuge Liang also knew about Xuzhou's affairs, and his analysis was very organized.

"My lord, why do you always pay attention to Liu Bei?"

Zhuge Liang was very curious. Since Liu Bei appeared in Wollongong, Wu Shun has been targeting him, and he will cheat Liu Bei if he has nothing to do.Now that Liu Bei is showing signs of rising, Wu Shun is paying more attention.

"Kong Ming, you don't know. Liu Bei is a hypocrite and is too good at disguising. He will win people's hearts. If he is allowed to win Xuzhou, Liu Bei will definitely be among the enemies of Yizhou in the future."

Wu Shun said firmly that he knew Liu Bei too well.This person is Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death.If he is trampled to death, he can stand up!

"There are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the Central Plains. These two are not something Liu Bei can handle. To be our opponent in Yizhou, Liu Bei still has a long way to go. Don't worry too much, my lord."

Under the complex situation in the Central Plains, whether Liu Bei can protect himself is still a question. Zhuge Liang feels that even if Liu Bei can really rise, it cannot become a threat to Yizhou.

This is the confidence of a counselor!With him, Liu Bei can be suppressed for Wu Shun.

"Hahaha, yes, I have Kong Ming. No matter how tough Liu Bei is, what can he do!"

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Wu Shun realized that Liu Bei's chief military advisers were all in Yizhou, so there was nothing to worry about.
