"Is the monarch so incompetent!"

Zhang Shuo, who was released, was refreshed the next morning. It's just that the news brought by Chen Yijun made him a little helpless.

That is, yesterday night, Guan Yu, the general of the Shu army, led 54th-order school swordsmen and 2,000 players with only first-order general strength to raid the national capital of Yuguo.

Under the corresponding situation of the family in the city, Guan Yu invaded the city that night, Su Mu, the monarch of the Yuguo Kingdom, was killed, and the hussar general Cheng Biting Jin was defeated and surrendered. Among the twenty-four generals of Huaixi in the original Ming Dynasty, Zhang He, Chen De, and Fei Ju rushed to take refuge.

And Zhang Shuo had long expected this kind of thing to happen, as early as after signing the irrigation treaty with Liu Bei, he sent envoys to Su Mu and Lu Bu in Linhuai, so that they could prepare in advance. I never thought that after a night, the country was still gone.

"Boss, what are we going to do next?" Chen Yijun asked tentatively on the side.

"I heard that Chen Deng is currently working under Liu Bei, if Liu Bei completely captures Linhuai, I'm afraid that Xiapi will also fall into his hands."

Zhang Shuo sighed and continued: "Originally, I hoped that Xuzhou would be as chaotic as possible. Now it seems that it is necessary to take the initiative to draw the strings and promote an alliance between the parties. ”

At that moment, Zhang Shuo drafted several letters and asked Chen Yijun to send them to various forces in Xuzhou, including Sima Rui, Qin Feng, and Liu Jianfeng, who had a holiday with Qianguo. Prepare to resist the expansion momentum of Tian Qi and Shu Han by uniting the rest of the forces.

"Monarch, a distinguished guest is coming."

As soon as Chen Yijun was sent away, Xie An greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Isn't it from the Langya Wang family?"

When Zhang Shuo saw Xie An's appearance, his heart couldn't help but move. Now that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was defeated by Tian Ji, it is time to look for foreign aid.

"It's not from the Langya Wang clan, it's the Fan Yang Zu clan."

"Fan Yang Zu Clan?"

Zhang Shuo was stunned, he really hadn't heard of this family. If it is a celebrity of the Zu family, he is only impressed by Zu Ti and the astronomer Zu Chongzhi, who smell the chickens and dance.

"Exactly! This ancestral clan is a big clan in Fanyang County, Jizhou, and has a lot of influence in the entire Jizhou. Originally, they had already been moved by the Langya Wang clan and were ready to go out in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As a result, now the Eastern Jin Kingdom itself is difficult to protect, and they have to re-examine it. ”

"So, isn't it just cheaper?"

Zhang Shuo smiled and said to Xie An: "Whether or not you can recruit the Fan Yang Zu clan depends on Xie Aiqing's cooperation." ”

"The monarch is interested, and the minister must do his best."

Xie An immediately laughed. At Zhang Shuo's suggestion, the two brothers Zu Ti and Zu Yue were summoned.

"The ancestors of the mountains and wilderness have seen the monarch of the Qianguo."

"Shizhi's name, I have heard of it for a long time, and I don't need to be polite to come today."

After the two brothers sat down under the guidance of Xie An, Zhang Shuo stroked his palms and said: "As far as Gu knows, Shizhi was born in the Fan Yang ancestral clan, and Fan Yang is located on the border of Youzhou and Hebei, thousands of miles away from Xuzhou. Now along the way, the soldiers are dangerous and chaotic. Shi Zhi came from afar despite the military disaster, I don't know why? ”

After Zu Ti and his brother Zu Yue got up and bowed to Zhang Shuo, Zu Ti went straight to the point and said: "I came here because I heard that the monarch of the country the day before yesterday defeated Liu Bei in Guangling, so I came to congratulate you."

"Hahaha, Shizhi is too outward. I have heard for a long time that Shizhi has always acted uprightly and brightly, how can he also play this set of false etiquette? ”

"That being the case, then I will be blunt. I wonder if when the monarch broke through Le'an, did he see a black scaly long knife and a blue pendant painted with the Big Dipper? It's a shame to say that this thing was originally one of the congratulatory gifts given by my father to the 60th birthday of the king of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and I didn't want to be robbed on the way. It wasn't until the month before that I got the news below. This was done by Le'an Sun Ru. ”

"Shi Zhi refers to Sun Ru's Molin Knife, right?"

"Exactly! Not only here in Qianwang? Seeing that Zhang Shuo did not refuse, Zu Ti nodded his head in response.

"Gao Aiqing, go to the treasury and get the legendary sword of that disease."

Zhang Shuo listened to Zu Ti's confirmation, and immediately did not hesitate, and directly asked Gao Lishi to take out the Molin knife and hand it to Zu Ti: "This treasure knife will be returned to its original owner today." It's just that the seven-star pendant was used by Sun Ru during the Battle of Le'an. If you don't believe it, you can ask the soldiers at that time for verification. ”

Zu Ti waved his hand and said: "Sun Ru's temperament, I have also heard about it, King Qian's ability to return the treasure sword, I am already grateful, how dare I have other extravagant requests."

Zhang Shuo smiled slightly and invited warmly: "The two of you came from afar, and they traveled all the way. If you don't think I'm going to be ugly. Na Gu will be the host once, washing the dust for the two of them. ”

"In this case, it is better for Zu Ti to be respectful than to obey his fate?"

After several successive refusals, Zu Ti agreed to Zhang Shuo's invitation. So, Zhang Shuo immediately set up a banquet to greet everyone and entertained the two of them.

At the banquet, Zhang Shuo also took the opportunity to ask about the current situation in Youzhou and Jizhou. According to Zu Ti, Youzhou is still in a period of great chaos at present. The counties attacked each other. There are also a large number of Hu people wreaking havoc in Youzhou.

Among them, Zhang Shuo was most vigilant than Murong Hao, the former Yan lord who occupied Changli, Luo Xuanye, who occupied Beiping, and Zhu Jianshen, who occupied Daijun. Compared with other warlords, these three people have completed the unification of their counties, and the talents in their hands are also significantly higher than others.

For example, around Murong Hao, the former lord of Yan, in addition to many talents of the Murong clan headed by Murong Chui and Murong Ke, there are also Gu Yan who can open a 300-pound strong bow, Hou Qing, who was praised by Murong Jun as the reincarnation of Zhang Fei, and Yang Hu and Huangfu Zhen, two major ministers who have the merit of Ding in Qianyan.

As for Xuan Ye in Beiping, everyone is familiar with the rabbit shooting madman Kangxi, and he currently has Manchu and Han talents such as Sony, Li Guangdi, Zhou Peigong, Mingzhu, Fei Yanggu, Peng Chun and the four generals of Hexi.

The remaining lord of the Northern Ming Dynasty who occupies Dai County, the historical Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, compared with the first two, the reputation and quality of the manpower in his hands are much worse, Liu Ji in the papier-mâché three pavilions, Yin Qian, Zhang Peng, Zhang Ying in the clay sculpture of the six Shangshu, Li Bing, who presided over the Chenghua plough court, attacked the Mongolian camp and seriously injured the Mongolian female Jie Manduhai.

In addition, the only one who can be called a famous person is Yu Qian, who is currently the first assistant of the Beiming cabinet. Although the quality of Zhu Jianshen's talents is a little worse than the first two. However, because he is the only pure Han force among the three top forces in Youzhou. Therefore, there are still many talents and families who are unwilling to succumb to the support of the Hu people, and even the Fanyang Zu clan where Zu Ti is located has also divided into two clansmen and went to Daijun to take refuge.

[Chapter 149 has been sealed, and it will take two days to unseal it. 】

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all strong masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
