However, now that Lu Su thought of this, he basically gave up on such a situation in his heart.
Because, no matter what they say or do now, it is completely useless. All they can do is persist, and such persistence will not last long. The current Cao Wei's strength is too strong. Strong!
At this time, Lu Su felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, and this feeling of powerlessness made Lu Su feel a little tired and bored.
Now even if Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Eastern Wu join forces to fight against Cao Wei, it is already impossible. The final result of this matter has been determined.
And if Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Ce of Dongwu play well, the best result for them in the end is to finally resist the attack of Cao Wei, and then they will separate themselves and spend the last time.
Such a situation is by far the best one, and there is nothing else to do!
Unlike Na Lusu's thoughts, Meng Huo's thoughts at this time were simpler, because under such circumstances, he no longer had the ability to think, and the only thing left was fear!
This Meng Huo can be said to be very 'honest'. He has never thought about the situation of competing in the Central Plains and galloping in the Central Plains, and he has not even done such a thing at all.
Meng Huo's knowledge of the Central Plains all comes from the captives he captured, as well as those Han people who escaped from the war, famine, or disease.
Under such circumstances, the only thing Meng Huo knew was that the Han people regarded them on the land in southern Xinjiang as Southern barbarians.
In fact, the Han nationality is very tough in dealing with the situation and attitude of those foreign nationalities, especially those foreign nationalities who conspired and committed crimes.
It was precisely because Meng Huo was deeply aware of this situation that he was very frightened, because he knew that if he came to Xudu, he would definitely be severely punished by the Han people.
With such an idea, do you think Meng Huo is not nervous and afraid?
It was precisely because of this that Lu Su and Meng Huo each had very complicated emotions in their hearts. Following the movement of the chariots and horses, they finally arrived in front of Xudu.
After the two knew that Xu Du had arrived, they all closed their eyes tightly, as if they could alleviate their own death without looking.
However, when they looked at the entire Xudu through the gap, both of them were shocked by the situation before them.
No matter which one of them, after seeing Xu Du in front of them, all of them showed shocking expressions.
They really didn't expect that Xudu would become so prosperous now, and it even became a little unfamiliar to them.
The Xudu that appeared in front of their eyes was so prosperous, it was really hard to resist.
The most important thing is that Lu Su knew very well that it has been less than five years since the emperor Liu Xie came to Xuchang, and it has been less than ten years since Cao Cao came to Xuchang to govern.
Under such circumstances, Xuchang would become so prosperous. Such a situation really shocked Lu Su's heart.
Looking at the bustling scene at the gate of Xudu City, coming and going, all kinds of people, newspapers in people's hands, and all kinds of gadgets, he was shocked by Lu Su and Meng Huo. Couldn't be more shocked.
I really didn't expect that the development of Xuchang was only a short period of ten years, and now the population of Xuchang City has directly increased by eight or nine times. Although it looks very prosperous, it is obvious that such a population is already too much , There is a feeling of wanting to exceed the load.
This kind of situation has already happened a long time ago, and in response to this situation, Cao Ang also made some measures, that is, to build another city wall outside the city of Xuchang.
Compared with the old city wall, the new city wall is wider and larger. In this way, Xuchang City can add some more places.
And this extra place, the new place is called the outer city.
Of course, there are some advantages to doing this, because in this way, the new city wall is made of materials such as cement and stone. After the city wall is built, it is much stronger and more durable than the previous city wall. .
Especially in terms of defense, there has been a qualitative change. Even if you use a siege kit to blow it up a few times, it may not be able to blow it through.
Moreover, the newly built city wall is very tall, completely enclosing the old city wall inside. It looks very domineering from the outside, and the tall gate tower is even more shocking.
In such a situation, after Meng Huo saw it, his whole mouth opened, he was shocked, shocked, and it made people tremble in the heart.
After being shocked by the gate of Xu Capital City, the two of them were brought into Xu Capital City by the escort.
When they came to the Xu capital city, the two of them were dumbfounded again.
Before entering Xu Capital City, they had already seen the scene in Xu Capital City through the gate building. For such a situation, Lu Su and Meng Huo were shocked for a while.
It has a large population and is very prosperous, and you can hear a lot of yelling from a long distance.
Now at this time, all the businesses have opened, it is very lively, and you can even get a lot of fragrances from the Xu capital, which is very tempting!
After walking in, Lu Su and Meng Huo were as shocked as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
There are lanterns hanging on the doors of every household. Most of the houses near the main street are open for business. There are also many restaurants and restaurants. You can see a moving newspaper seller within two steps.
There are also some mobile vendors moving and selling.
Chapter 476 Dazzling Xu Du
The truth of this situation shocked Lu Su and Meng Huo. They looked at the walking people one by one, with smiles and happiness on their faces, which made their eyes a little dull.
In this Xudu, there are clear regulations, there is no control over the vendors, as long as the vendors can abide by the rules and do not cause traffic jams, they will not be driven away.
The reason why there are such regulations is because the business in Xudu is too prosperous, which makes people have an irresistible attraction.
Many people have become rich because of doing some small businesses, so people are also very yearning for doing business and doing some small businesses.
It is precisely because there are many businesses and prosperous commerce that many of the better and densely populated places have already been bought by people.
In addition, now Xudu is a place where every inch of land is expensive. If you want to rent a building in Xudu to do business, only those rich people will do such a thing. worthy.
Therefore, in order to reduce costs and save money, these people started a mobile booth.
As long as it is lively, they will go there. After such a situation arises, Cao Ang also strongly supports it. As long as they don't hinder the traffic or others, this business can be done if they want to!
The reason why Cao Ang did this is to encourage this kind of commercial spirit and encourage this kind of entrepreneurial spirit.
For such things, it is naturally relaxed a lot.
Lu Su and Meng Huo were escorted towards Xudu.
Along the way, they saw a lot of curious things, some things they had never seen before, and when they came towards the two of them, the two of them screamed in fright.
In the eyes of Lu Su and Meng Huo, such a big thing looks like a beast, and Meng Huo even yelled, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the monster is coming to eat people!" !"
This kind of behavior simply made everyone in Xudu City burst into laughter. The people in Xudu City naturally don't know such two people, so everyone is like watching a monkey. Laughing from ear to ear.
Lu Su and Meng Huo were very nervous, but seeing that everyone didn't care about this situation, they felt a little confused.
What is going on here?
It turned out that what Meng Huo and Lu Su saw was not a monster, but a train!
Yes, that's right, it's the train!
To be precise, a steam car!
In these days, the public road system in Xudu has been officially launched, and the steam car has also been ready to come out.
Cao Ang designed and planned a total of five routes in the Xu capital city, and three of them directly lead to the outside of the Xu capital city. Including the routes out of the city, there are a total of eight routes.
