In the second year of Jian'an, the world is still turbulent.

After Liu Bei was defeated by Lü Bu, he defected to the imperial court and was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Xie.

Cao Cao was afraid that he would have too deep a relationship with Liu Xie, so he asked him to lead Yuzhou Mu to Peiguo and stationed Xiaopei again.

The reason for this has two functions, one is to separate Liu Bei and Liu Xie, prevent Liu Bei's power from rising, and be cited by Liu Xie as foreign aid.

The second is to let him monitor Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Lu Bu have a deep grudge, and the two sides are on the same page.

Placing Liu Bei in Xiaopei is equivalent to Liu Biao placing Zhang Xiu in Nanyang, acting as a peripheral barrier to prevent Lu Bu from directly attacking Yanzhou.

Later, it turned out that Cao Cao's approach was right, and he slowly cleaned up Dong Cheng and other soldiers and horses that Liu Xie relied on, and replaced the palace guards of the Xudu Palace with his own people, further controlling the Son of Heaven.

When Lu Bu betrayed the imperial court again in the third year of Jian'an and formed an alliance with Yuan Shu, Liu Bei bore the brunt and was defeated by Lu Bu again.

On the other hand, Cao Cao's power was not affected at all, and he also indirectly used Lu Bu to weaken Liu Bei's strength, so that Liu Xie's foreign aid was a little less powerful, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Now Cao Cao has Chen Deng's father and son in Xuzhou as the internal response, and he can easily grasp Lu Bu.

After Lü Bu got Cao Cao's letter, although he was annoyed that he did not get the position of Xuzhou Mu, General Qianzuo was still able to open the government, which also made him reluctantly accept.

By the end of June, Yuan Shu heard that Lü Bu had repented of the marriage contract, and sent the envoy to Xu Du to be beheaded by Cao Cao, and was furious, so he sent the generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui to unite with Han Xian, Yang Feng and other armies, and led tens of thousands of foot cavalry to attack Xuzhou.

At that time, Lu Bu's strength was actually very weak, although he occupied Xuzhou, but Xuzhou itself had been slaughtered by Cao Cao, and large and small forces were divided one after another, and they did not obey his command at all.

In addition, he fought with Liu Bei many times, so that he only had a few thousand soldiers and horses at that time, and 400 war horses, and the gap between his strength and Yuan Shu's was still very large, so he was very worried.

Chen Jue's father and son offered him a discordant plan again, and asked him to recruit Han Xian and Yang Feng to attack Yuan Shu's camp together.

Lu Bu acted according to the plan, and really defeated Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses he brought with him also suffered heavy losses, and it was this battle that made Yuan Shu's strength begin to decline gradually.

In fact, since the beginning of this year, Yuan Shu has already shown signs of decay. He was at the beginning of the year when he became emperor, and it was his peak time.

As a result, as soon as he became emperor, the people's hearts were scattered, and Sun Ce immediately cut off relations with him, causing him to lose Jiangdong.

If Jiangdong's loss is nothing, then fighting with Lu Bu and losing a large number of soldiers and horses in this battle is a broken muscle and bones, and his strength has declined sharply.

On the other hand, Lu Bu also gathered a group of Yuan Shu's army that surrendered, and the soldiers and horses gradually grew.

And just when Yuan Shu's power was greatly declining, Sun Ce was advancing all the way in Jiangdong.

At that time, Cao Cao did not completely let Lü Bu fight against Yuan Shu alone, but in the name of the imperial court, he asked Wu County to guard Chen Yu, and Sun Ce, a general of the Ming and Han dynasties, and Lü Bu to crusade against Yuan Shu together.

Sun Ce's territory was in the area of Danyang, Huiji, while Chen Yu, the Taishou of Wu County, occupied Wu County and Guangling.

As a result, when Sun Ce ordered his troops and horses to go north and was about to meet with Lu Bu and Chen Yu in the Guangling area, Chen Yu sent troops to prepare for a sneak attack on Sun Ce's lair, Huiji and Danyang.

Upon hearing this news, Sun Ce was furious and immediately led his army to attack Chen Yu and captured a total of 4,000 of his soldiers and horses.

Since then, Wu County has also been occupied by Sun Ce, and the entire Jiangdong has been owned by him.

By September, Cao Cao attacked the states of Chen and Liang, driving Yuan Shu's forces out of Yuzhou completely.

However, at that time, Yuzhou was also very dilapidated, and even if Liu Bei had the main position of Yuzhou pastor, he could justifiably unify the power of Yuzhou, but he could not strengthen himself.

And there is also Runan Taishou Xun You, and Li Tong, the commander of Yang'an, so that his strength has not recovered.

But after Yang Feng and others defeated Yuan Shu, they have been plundering between Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and Lu Bu sent Yang Feng and Han Xian to loot Liu Bei's military resources, and was booby-trapped by Liu Bei, swallowing Yang Feng's army, which can be regarded as a small supplement to a little strength.

In the same year, Guanzhong Li Dao and Guo Yan also divided the victory and defeat, and as Guo Yan was killed by his own generals, Li Dao temporarily occupied Guanzhong.

It's just that Guanzhong is not his own family, at that time, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng and other small princes in Guanzhong had more than ten forces, each of them had thousands of people, and Li Dao had tens of thousands of soldiers.

Cao Cao knew that these people were afraid of being annexed by Li Dao, so in the winter and October of the second year of Jian'an, he sent Pei Mao to Guanzhong to unite these small forces, led by Duan Xuan, and led the generals of Guanxi to crusade against Li Dao.

The history of the second year of Jian'an has not changed much from the original, after all, Shen Chen is now soft-spoken, and he can't be the butterfly that can incite a tornado.

But he has changed a lot.

For example, in history, Cao Cao would personally conquer Nanyang again at the end of this year, in November of winter, but this time due to Shen Chen's situation, he could only get along with Liu Biao, and did not dare to go south again.

Originally, when he would send Cao Hong to be stationed in Ye County, he would attack Zhang Xiu from time to time, but this time he could only let Cao Hong defend Ye County.

Therefore, what Shen Chen has changed is actually the situation in Nanyang today.

Killing Cao Ren and Le Jin is like breaking one of Cao Cao's claws that stretches out to Nanyang, and before he licks his wounds, he will no longer covet Nanyang.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle in the world, the second year of Jian'an finally came to an end.

.....．

.....．

Jingzhou, the New Year is approaching, Liu Biao is in a very good mood these days, and he has rewarded his subordinates with some property, especially Deng Hong, all kinds of valuable items and property worth millions of money.

In addition to being happy that he was rewarded by the imperial court, the more important thing is that his strength is about to grow again.

Last year, due to the Nanyang Rebellion, his tuntian people were unable to cultivate their land and had no harvest.

However, at the end of the year, the wheat has been planted and will be harvested in May of the following year.

According to the estimate reported to him by Wang Yi, the Taishou of Nanyang, if nothing happens this year, the harvest will reach nearly 10 million stones, grains and grass.

That's a terrible number, enough for an army of 100,000 for a year and a half.

Later, Deng Ai used 50,000 Tuntian soldiers in Huainan Tuntian, and the annual harvest could reach 5 million stones, and he accumulated 30 million stone of grain in six years, enough for 100,000 people to eat for five years.

But his way of tuntian is more extreme, at that time it was already in the middle and late stages of the Wei state, and there were still twenty years before Cao Wei was about to die, so the proportion of tuntian reached eighty-two or even ninety-one open, and the exploitation was very serious.

And Liu Biao's Tuntian people are more than 200,000, four times that of Deng Ai. But his proportion is low, three seven or four or six, and if the people rent official cattle, the maximum is five or five, so the annual harvest is only twice that of Deng Ai.

After having Tuntian, it was very helpful to Liu Biao.

At that time, the most developed places in Jingzhou were Nanyang and Nanjun, and later the Jianghan Plain in Hubei, and the Dongting Lake Plain in Hunan are still soaked in Yunmengze, including Shashi City, Jianli County, Hanyang District and other counties and cities in later generations, and now they are still blowing bubbles at the bottom of Yunmengze Lake.

Therefore, places like Jiangxia County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, etc., are underdeveloped in population and economy. According to the population statistics of the Hedi period, the combined population of these three counties is less than half of Nanyang County.

Only Changsha County and Lingling County are relatively better in Jingnan, but these places are too far away from Xiangyang, and Changsha is too guarded by Zhang Xian and others to be considered semi-divided, and Liu Biao's forces have not yet touched these places.

Therefore, if Nanyang is removed, Liu Biao's real territory will only be Nanjun and Jiangxia County.

The combined population of these two places is only one million, and the tax provided to him every year is not much, which can only allow him to afford to raise 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses such as Zhang Yun, Wen Ping, and Huang Zu.

But after Shen Chen came to Jingzhou, he proposed the matter of Tuntian, so in 195 AD, Liu Biao started Tuntian in Nanyang.

In addition to Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao's two visits, the rest of the time has been a bumper harvest, and in the past two years, plus the taxes of Nanjun and Jiangxia, Liu Biao's treasury has also accumulated more than 20 million stones, grains and grass, and the treasury has truly been full.

After another harvest next year, his grain stock will rise sharply again, and he can consider expanding his troops, maybe he doesn't have to wait until Jian'an five years to defeat Zhang Xian, the Changsha Taishou who resisted him, and annex the four counties of Jingnan, so that he can support 100,000 troops in advance.

For this reason, Liu Biao was beaming, and the Jingzhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion was full of lights, and he was ready to celebrate the New Year with joy.

At the end of the year, in the state pastor's mansion, Kuai Liang came to ask for a meeting.

In the mansion, Liu Biao summoned him, and when Kuai Liang entered the hall, he asked happily: "Zirou, what's the matter?" ”

Kuai Liang knew that he had been very happy recently, so he said with a smile: "Duke Ming, the harvest of Nanyang Tuntian is imminent, and the treasury is full, so I want to ask Duke Ming, whether to renovate the military?" ”

Liu Biao nodded and said: "I just want to have this intention, and when the wheat harvest in Nanyang next year is good, I will prepare to expand the army by another 50,000." ”

Kuai Liang said: "Now that Jiangdong is in turmoil, and the strength of Ming Gong has increased greatly, why not take the opportunity to seize Jiangdong?" ”

"Capture Koto?"

Liu Biao pondered.

Kuai Liang said: "Exactly, Ming Gong has a deep enmity with the Sun family, and now that he has Jiangdong, it will come to crusade one day, and he should take advantage of his unstable foothold to eliminate Sun Ce and seek to seize the south." ”

"Hmm......"

Liu Biao groaned.

This matter can be regarded as a rehash of the old thing.

At the beginning, Liu Biao had just come to Jingzhou, and he only had Nanjun on hand.

Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang and ordered Sun Jian to attack him, but he sent Huang Zu to shoot him with arrows.

At that time, Kuai Liang suggested that he take the opportunity to seize Jiangdong.

But at that time, Liu Biao thought that his strength was too weak to annex Yangzhou, so he rejected Kuailiang's proposal.

Later, when his strength grew, Kuai Liang once again proposed that he take Jiangdong.

However, Sun Ce had already crossed the river and occupied Danyang, Huiji and other places, only Wu County and Yuzhang County had not yet arrived, and Liu Biao still did not dare to let Huang Zu enter Yuzhang.

As a result, two years later, in 199 AD, Sun Ce stabilized the situation in Jiangdong and began to attack him instead.

Although he was repelled by Huang Zu, the hatred between the Sun family and Liu Biao was also formed because Sun Jian died in Xiangyang, and then Sun Ce died in assassination, and Sun Quan led the will of his father and brother to repeatedly crusade against Huang Zu.

So to a certain extent, Liu Biao missed the opportunity several times, did not follow Kuai Liang's advice, and strangled the Sun family in the cradle, causing the Sun family to grow.

Unlike Kuai Yue, who cares more about the interests of the family, Kuai Liang is the mastermind of Liu Biao, and hopes to promote Liu Biao's hegemony.

Therefore, his several suggestions are actually paving the way for Liu Biao's dream of hegemony.

It's a pity that he died early, and he died within two years, otherwise, maybe with the help of Kuai Liang, when Liu Biao won Jingnan, it was really possible to become the emperor.

Now Liu Biao's strength has increased greatly, and he annexed the Runan Yellow Turban and Nanyang Yellow Turban obtained by Cao Cao in history, and obtained more than 200,000 Yellow Turban thieves, and his power has grown in Nanyang Tuntian, and Kuai Liang once again suggested that he annex Jiangdong.

Originally, the reason why he didn't dare to send troops to Jiangdong was that his strength was not very strong, but now even if he didn't get the four counties of Jingnan, when next year's harvest comes up, his strength will go to a higher level.

So when Kuai Liang proposed to send troops to Jiangdong again, Liu Biao began to think about it seriously.

I have to say that now is indeed a godsend.

Jingzhou has grown because of Tuntian, but Jiangdong is now in chaos, Sun Ce has just defeated Chen Yu, and the internal forces are also unstable, and there are county commanders everywhere.......

Thinking of this, Liu Biao nodded slowly and said: "Good, Zirou's words have won my heart, next year I will let Huang Zu send troops to Jiangdong and occupy Yuzhang first." ”

Kuai Liang arched his hand and said, "Ming Gong is wise. ”

.....．

.....．

At the end of the second year of Jian'an, Liu Biao consulted with the mastermind Kuai Liang and decided to seize Yuzhang.

And Cao Cao is also discussing what he plans to do next year.

Since Xun You and Cheng Yu were out of town, he summoned Xun Yu and Guo Jia in his Sikong Mansion.

"Brother Huainan has been defeated for me this year, I heard that there has been no rain in Huainan for a long time in the past two months, and the wheat is dry and withered, and there is a great famine in Shouchun."

Cao Cao looked around at Xun Yu and Guo Jia left and right and said, "I think Yuan Shu is no longer enough, next year I want to conquer Lu Bu, what do you think?" ”m.jújíá?y.?? m

Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "Sikong, this matter is still slow for the time being, now our treasury is not full, the war has been going on for many years, the people are hard, and if we continue to fight, I am afraid that the people will be miserable." ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "How much grain and grass is there in the military arsenal now?" ”

"Less than 400,000 Hu."

Xun Yu is in charge of these rear government affairs, and the grain and grass issues are also in his charge, and he knows too well how much grain is stored in the current treasury.

Now a large number of clans have migrated over from Xudu, and these people have to eat, so the imperial court separates the treasury from the military treasury, and the treasury barely supports the use of the Xudu court, and the military treasury is used for war.

At present, the army has less than 400,000 grains, and according to the food consumption of soldiers recorded in the "Juyan Han Jian" and the "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Deng Ai", each person consumes about three stone of grain per month, and 10,000 people spend an average of nearly 30,000 stone a month.

In other words, if Cao Cao's current 40,000 soldiers and horses go to war again, he will have to eat 120,000 stone of grain a month, and even if he saves a little, he will have to fight for four or five months at most, and he will have to fall into the embarrassing situation of having no grain and grass.

This actually has a lot to do with Shen Chen.

In history, Cao Cao did not capture more than 200,000 Nanyang Yellow Turbans, but about 100,000 people in Yingchuan and Runan Yellow Turbans were captured by him.

At the suggestion of Han Hao Zaoyi and others, he started to farm in Yingchuan and harvested millions of stone of grain that year.

However, this time, most of the Runan Yellow Turbans were deceived by Shen Chen to go to Nanyang, and Cao Cao only got tens of thousands of Yingchuan Yellow Turbans, and then Tuntian still added the Qingzhou Yellow Turban family who were captured in the early years, which was barely enough to make ends meet.

In addition, it was necessary to spend money everywhere to support the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, which caused Cao Cao to become poorer and poorer, and the food in the treasury began to be a little difficult to support him to fight everywhere.

From this point of view, it also proves the sentence, "everything is a double-edged sword", and there are advantages and disadvantages to welcoming the Son of Heaven.

The good thing is that he gets a political name.

The disadvantage is to support the capital of an empire, for Cao Cao, a warlord, it is very difficult, the Manchu Dynasty has to pay a lot of money, and the Son of Heaven has to ensure his expenses, for Cao Cao, it is too poor.

Hearing the bad news reported by Xun Yu, Cao Cao's face was very bad, and he asked: "Lu Bunai is a capricious person, if he doesn't levy it, I'm afraid he will be harmed in the future, isn't there any other way?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Now Yuzhou is dilapidated, Yanzhou is not very good, there are thieves all around, if you can recruit some Yellow Turban remnants, in Yuzhou Tuntian, let the soldiers reclaim the fields, recuperate for a year or two, maybe the situation can improve." ”

What he meant was not to let Cao Cao fight another large-scale war, either to clean up some of the remnants of the bandits and bandits around Yingchuan, such as Funiu Mountain, Runan and other places, and to capture the population to Tuntian, or let the soldiers directly reclaim the land, cultivate for a year or two, and restore their strength.

But this obviously goes against Cao Cao's strategic intentions, he plans to conquer Lu Bu in the east, and control the entire land of Henan in his own hands first, if he allows Lu Bu to be embedded in the nail, Yuan Shao in the north is growing stronger and stronger, how will he fight with Yuan Shao in the future?

So Cao Cao shook his head and said, "No, Lu Bu must get rid of this guy, otherwise there will be endless harm." ”

Guo Jia thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Ming Gong, I heard that Liu Biao gathered a large number of fleeing Guanzhong people and Nanyang Runan Yellow Turbans in Nanyang, and Tuntian on the spot, and gained a lot?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Yes, when I conquered Nanyang, I actually wanted to include Nanyang in the Yanzhong, so if I can move the people of Nanyang to Runan or Yingchuan and other places, and make fields, maybe we can solve the problem of lack of grain and grass." ”

In history, he conquered Nanyang three times, and finally succeeded in making Zhang Xiu surrender, and then moved a large number of Nanyang population to Yingchuan, filling the Tuntian population in Henan and other places, and among them was Deng Ai, who was born this year.

Now that Shen Chen has repelled Cao Cao, it has triggered a chain reaction that Cao Cao lacks the people of Tuntian, and the food he gets has been greatly reduced, Deng Ai has not gone to Yingchuan, even if the food problem is not solved, the historical process of the eastward expedition to Lu Bu next year will probably be delayed.

And this delay, I don't know how many unpredictable historical changes will be caused in the future.

However, Cao Cao is now very desperate to dispose of Lu Bu.

Because he could see that Gongsun Zhan couldn't hold on for long, and as soon as he was eliminated, Yuan Shao's eyes would inevitably turn to the south. When the time comes, Yuan Shao in the north, Lu Bu in the east, and Liu Biao in the south, his situation will be very bad.

So even if there is a shortage of food, Cao Cao is still thinking about whether to grit his teeth and continue to attack Lu Bu next year according to the plan.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "I heard that Shen Chen was preaching everywhere in Jingzhou that he wanted to fight against Ming Gong, and Liu Biao not only acquiesced, but also supported him behind his back, I think he has bad intentions." But if he wants to dominate, he must win Jiangdong, otherwise if he goes north to Henan, the Sun family has a blood feud with him, and he will attack Jiangxia. ”

"What do you mean?"

Cao Cao stroked his chin and long beard, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Guo Jia said: "In the name of the Son of Heaven, let Liu Biao offer millions of grains and grass for the imperial court. And what the Son of Heaven gave him was to worship as a hussar general, hold the festival and supervise the affairs of the four states of Yi, Jiao, Jing and Yang. At that time, Liu Zhang, Sun Ce and others will definitely fight with him, so as to weaken Liu Biao's strength. ”

"Oh?"

Cao Cao pondered: "What if Liu Biao doesn't obey? ”

Guo Jia said: "It doesn't matter if you never obey. If he doesn't obey, and the Son of Heaven begs for food from him, he will have to offer hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass. If we follow it, then it will be even better, we can also get grain and grass, and he can get the opportunity to send troops to Yizhou, Jiaozhou and Yangzhou in the name of justice, and we will not lose anything. ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "If Liu Biao defeats Sun Ce and Liu Zhang, won't the entire south be for him?" ”

"Ming Gong, Liu Biao doesn't practice martial arts, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they are just a rabble, Liu Zhang occupies a favorable location, how can he ask for it? Not to mention Jiangdong, Sun Ce was brave and difficult, how could he be defeated by Liu Biao. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "What's more, even if they are defeated alone, can't they still unite?" Even if they retreat 10,000 steps, they are all invincible, Liu Biao wants to annex Yangzhou and Yizhou, but it will not be possible to get it in a few years, and we will already unify Henan and grow in power. ”

"That's just as well."

Cao Cao thought so, and felt that this idea seemed to be good.

I have to say that Guo Jia is still insightful.

He was keenly aware that Liu Biao seemed to have bad intentions and might become emperor, so he wanted to induce Liu Biao to confess.

If Liu Biao agreed, it would just allow him to send troops to Yangzhou and Yizhou and weaken his strength.

If you don't agree, it doesn't matter, Liu Xie asked him, how should he mean it, pay tribute and order grain and grass.

What's more, even if he agreed and began to prepare for hegemony in the south, he might not be able to beat Sun Ce and Liu Zhang.

If you can't get them, the best outcome is to continue to worship millions of stones, grains and grass, and then stay in Jingzhou and can't fight anywhere, and finally die of old age.

The worst result was that Liu Biao took Yangzhou Yizhou and Jiaozhou, and thus became the largest prince in the south.

However, at that time, he was at most as strong as Yuan Shao now, and Cao Cao's top priority now was to obtain grain and grass as soon as possible, dominate Henan, and then fight to the death with Yuan Shao.

It is estimated that when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought, Liu Biao was still pulling his hair with Liu Zhang and Sun Ce, and he just used Liu Zhang and Sun Ce to contain Liu Biao, so that Cao Cao would have no worries.

This is very similar to the later Zhang Xian rebellion.

Due to Zhang Xian's rebellion, Liu Biao had to send troops and horses to Changsha to quell the rebellion, which gave Cao Cao a god-given opportunity to have no worries in the battle of Guandu, and finally eliminated Yuan Shao to unify the north.

At that time, Cao Cao was lucky, if it wasn't for this stubble, and Sun Ce was killed by the assassins, maybe his hometown would have to be stolen by Liu Biao and Sun Ce.

But now it's not luck, but Guo Jia thinks that Liu Biao's Nanyang Tuntian has a bumper harvest, and his strength has skyrocketed, which will inevitably make his ambitions skyrocket.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, feeling that Guo Jia's strategy would not be lost inside and out, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just do it." ”

That's the way the world is going.

Liu Biao gradually became the emperor because of the soaring strength of Tuntian, Guo Jia understood the hearts of the people and immediately used this to send Liu Biao a pillow.

Both sides take what they need, and perhaps change a lot of the general trend.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the unlucky Liu Bei.

The New Year is approaching, and Liu Bei has lived a miserable life in Xiaopei pitifully in history.

It's a little better now.

Because Shen Chen sent him a batch of gold and belongings, so that he could have a good year.

Now Xiaopei is preparing some New Year's goods to reunite with his family.

And just when he held a dinner party in Xiaopei County Yafu on Chinese New Year's Eve, he sent people to ask Guan Yu and Zhang Feitai Shici to come over for dinner together.

Zhang Fei ran to the county office in a hurry, pushed open the door and shouted: "Big brother, I have robbed a batch of war horses!" ”

These war horses were purchased by Lu Bu who sent people to Hanoi.

"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 powerful 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.
