Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 790
After checkers were invented by Wu Shun, Zhang Song of the Ministry of Commerce saw business opportunities. He obtained Wu Shun's consent to mass-produce checkers and sell them.

Ordinary checkers can be made easily, and the cost is not too high. If they are all made of jade like Wu Shun, who can afford it?

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

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

With this sentence, in the government-run shops in Yizhou, people lined up to buy checkers, and the checkers sold out immediately!
The checkers invented by the king of Shu, which can improve intelligence, attracted countless people once it was released. Of course, most of them bought it for Wu Shun.

This may be the earliest celebrity benefit. Wu Shun personally advertised for Checkers.Checkers is originally a puzzle game that can develop intelligence. It is much better for people to play this game more than mahjong.

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

When people are free, they will come to the two rounds.

Go is not something that ordinary people can play well, but checkers is simple. It belongs to the type that can be played as soon as you play, and the more you play, the more you can play, and it is deeply loved by people.

……

In the 13th year of Jian'an, many major events occurred, such as the Wuling army's attack on Xudu, Jiangxia, and Xuzhou, which shocked the world.

Cao Cao and Wu Shun became kings one after another, which made the great Han exist in name only. Now people only know that there is a powerful Shu Kingdom in the world, and there is also a very powerful Lu Kingdom. The concept of the Great Han has gradually faded.

In February of the 14th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan became king in Jiangdong, and Jiangdong was renamed Wu State.

When Sun Quan became king, Wu Shun sent Xu Shu as an envoy to congratulate him, and at the same time sent Gan Ning, the captain of the navy, to accompany him as an escort.

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

Several ministers from the Shu Palace, the Conference Hall, and the Military Aircraft Department were all there. The news Xu Shu got from Jianye made them fall into deep thought.

"Cao Cao's envoy appeared in Jiangdong, what do you think?" Wu Shun asked.

Cao Cao didn't even bother calling himself king, but when Sun Quan became king, Cao Cao sent an envoy, and Sun Quan didn't shy away from it, and received him directly and generously, which is worth scrutinizing.

"Your Majesty, I think that Jiangdong and Qingzhou must have reached an agreement, otherwise Cao Cao's envoy would not let Yuanzhi see it blatantly." Fazheng said.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Lu and the Kingdom of Wu may form an alliance to resist our Kingdom of Shu." Zhuge Liang said.

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

Did Sun Quan really ignore it?His sister is still in Chengdu.

"Your Majesty does not know that Sun Quan is by no means a subordinate. Since he is the king, he must find ways to get rid of Shu's influence on him. To achieve this goal, it is natural to form an alliance with Cao Cao." Zhuge Liang explained.

As Sun Quan becomes king, the state of Wu will have its own demands. Everyone knows that after the state of Shu destroys the state of Lu, the state of Wu will follow.

Sun Quan was not the kind of hero who would hand over his family's fortune to others.If you want to keep your own status and your own foundation, you can only have a chance if you unite with Cao Cao.

Sun Quan is not stupid, he got in touch with Cao Cao in Qingzhou before he became king, and the two sides hit it off for the alliance.

Sun Cao's resistance to Wu seems to be a foregone conclusion!

"If they unite, it will be a bit troublesome. The Wuling army 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 take advantage." Wu Shun said.

"Your Majesty, what if they join forces? Wuling's army is so mighty that it has already shaken the world. Now Lu and Wu's armies are not as many as ours. As long as they dare to fight decisively, they will definitely be defeated." Guo Jia Said.

Guo Jia never does such things as boosting other people's ambitions.No matter how powerful the enemy is, the Wuling army can crush it directly.

"Haha, what Feng Xiao said is correct, so what if Cao Cao and Sun Quan form an alliance? As long as he dares to make a move, he will be pushed back."

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

Fighting until now, the Wuling Army has become the enemy's nightmare!

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

The land of Shu is vast, there is no shortage of resources and soldiers, and there is no need to worry about food and grass supplies.The granaries in the Shu Kingdom are full, and whenever a war is launched, the Shu Kingdom can bear it.

It's just that if it's almost March, there really can't be a war, otherwise it will destroy the harvest of the year.

"Your Majesty, if the Kingdom of Lu and the Kingdom of Wu really form an alliance, after the spring planting, we can send troops to test it out." Zhuge Liang said.

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

Wu Shun directly agreed to Zhuge Liang's suggestion. Now the world has the strongest attack, and he is very close to his goal. 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 you need a suitable opportunity.

In terms of strength, the Wuling Army has never been bad, and now they are just waiting for an opportunity to send troops.

"My lord, the Second General is asking to see you!" Qu'a's voice sounded from outside the door.

"Come in!" Wu Shun ordered.

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xiong and King Mulu walked into the hall hand in hand.

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

"Brother, the recruitment of the White Tiger Legion has been completed, and only the training is left. In addition, there are some things to say about the beast cavalry of Mulu." Zhang Xiong said.

"Mu Lu, what happened to your beast cavalry?" Wu Shun asked Mu Lu.

"Your Majesty, the Nanman sent another four hundred tigers. Now that the beast cavalry has the conditions, I would like to ask your Majesty for an expansion." Mu Lu said.

After such a long time, the beast cavalry finally ushered in a day of development and growth.Always fighting with 100 people is really a bit shabby.

"Oh, the tiger is here, what about the knight?"

Wu Shun asked.

In general, Wu Shun would only instruct the expansion of the legion, and would not participate in anything else.

The beast cavalry is quite special. The previous knights were all Southern barbarians, and now there are no Southern barbarians who are eligible to join the beast cavalry.

Those who had some conditions were selected by Meng Huo into the new army.

"The general has a request at the end, please hurry up and agree." Mu Lu said.

"You said."

"At the end, the general wants to select 400 people from each legion for training." Mu Lu said.

"Yes." Wu Shun agreed directly, the scale of the beast cavalry was very scary.

Not to mention there are still soldiers, just five hundred tigers running out, that is enough to scare some timid people to death.

"My lord, you can choose people, but you can't choose people in the guard camp." Qu'a protested.

His personal guard battalion has only 2000 people, and these people are the most elite part of the army.Don't say four hundred, even four, Qu'a is reluctant.

"General Qu'a don't worry, the personal guard camp is the lord's personal guard, how dare Mu Lu choose someone." When Mu Lu said this, Qu'a's hanging heart was relieved.

You can choose people anywhere, as long as you don't choose people from his personal guard camp.
