Shen Wanfu's sincerity made Zhou Zibin wave his hand again and again, and said softly, "The Shen family has already taken on a lot of responsibilities, if Brother Shen is allowed to go to the front line, Benzhou's conscience will not go."

"My lord, Shen..." Shen Wanfu clenched his fists and continued to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Zibin.

"Brother Shen's kindness, Benzhou is still the same sentence, I understand it, you are all high-level officials in Dongzhou, and you have done enough to let you take the position of commander, doesn't it mean that Benzhou is ruthless."

"There's no need to fight, this time I will lead 40,000 state soldiers to the front line, and this state will personally lead it."

Shen Wanfu and Feng Nan's faces changed, "Adults, don't do it."

Both of them opened their mouths to stop it, if the dignified state pastor held the position of commander, this spread out, and where would the officials of the nine counties put their faces.

What's more, Zhou Zibin is the governor of Yizhou, if he goes to the front line, plus Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo, the top leaders of the entire Dongzhou will be here.

If there is any accident, it will be served directly, and none of them can afford such a big responsibility.

The two of them hurriedly stopped, but it had no effect on Zhou Zibin, Zhou Zibin shook his head and said with a firm face.

"Brother Shen, Brother Feng, you and I have worked together for many years, and we can be regarded as acquaintances, as the pastor of Dongzhou, the front line has launched a full-scale counteroffensive, and even the supervision envoys are on the front line, how can Benzhou sit firmly in the rear."

"Don't say it, this time the leader is none other than Benzhou, and whether the nine counties can be stable or not depends on Brother Shen and Brother Feng, and Benzhou is here."

Zhou Zibin's face was full of sincerity, so that the words of the two of them came to their mouths, they could only swallow it, nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Since the adults have made up their minds, and the two of us are preventing it, it is the fault of the subordinates, please rest assured, we will guard the last nine counties for the adults."

Hearing this, Zhou Zibin nodded with satisfaction, and then discussed some specific details with Shen Wanfu and Feng Nan, and not long after, Shen Wanfu took the lead and left.

After the two of them stared at Shen Wanfu's back and left for a long time, Feng Nan's voice sounded.

"My lord, you have acted in such a big drama from beginning to end, do you still have doubts about Shen Wanfu until now?"

Zhou Zibin retracted his gaze and said lightly, "From the current point of view, what we arranged for him to do, and even some of the information revealed to him, he has done a good job, and there is no sign of collusion against the water, but the more this is the case, the more it makes Benzhou suspicious."

"This Shen Wanfu has remained neutral for so many years, and his solicitation of us is all a joke, but only the supervision envoy appointed by the imperial court, after beheading his son, this person's temperament has changed greatly, and he is willing to cooperate with us."

"This seems to make sense, but this is too smooth, the ancestor of the Shen family is extremely good at investment, and it is by investing in the royal family of the year that he rose in one fell swoop."

"Such a profit-seeking businessman" will be subservient to the state? Although Wu Xian and Jiang Kun are greedy for money and afraid of death, these are human nature, and they are also the means by which Benzhou manipulates them."

"Only this Shen Wanfu, from beginning to end, no matter how tempting Benzhou is, his answer is not leaky, such a person is the most difficult to deal with."

Zhou Zibin's story, Feng Nan also agreed, indeed, how can a person who speaks without leaking a drop or even a handle can easily return to obedience.

"That's why the adult will personally lead the state soldiers to the front line, in order to lure out Shen Wanfu's fox tail."

Zhou Zibin nodded at Feng Nan with an approving look in his eyes.

"Well, it's worth following Honshu for many years, and with a little dialing, you will know the intentions of Honshu."

"Everywhere, it is all cultivated by adults, and the lower officials must live up to the expectations of adults, and if they stay in the Houjiu County, they will inevitably pull out Shen Wanfu's fox tail."

Feng Nan clenched his fists and hurriedly promised.

Zhou Zibin went to the front line, it was deliberate, and the most powerful in the latter nine counties was none other than him.

If he still stayed in the Houjiu County and did not move, Shen Wanfu would definitely continue to be secretly wary of him, in this way, it was basically impossible for him to catch Shen Wanfu's handle.

It just so happened that Su Qi'an needed the state soldiers of the Houjiu County to go to the front line, and Zhou Zibin took this opportunity

will leave, not only can harvest a wave of popular support, but also make Shen Wanfu relax his vigilance.

And Feng Nan, who stayed in the last nine counties, was able to grasp the handle of this old fox, and this trick was to use his body as bait to lure the snake out of the hole.

As for the danger of going to the front line, Zhou Zibin had already thought about it, if he were someone else, Su Qi'an might be able to move at will, but he could be a state pastor.

If he was really put in an extremely dangerous place, if nothing else, the 40,000 state soldiers under his command would not agree.

The state soldiers of the Houjiu County, under his control for many years, not to mention that everyone is willing to die for him, but whoever dares to insult the state pastor is insulting the Houjiu County in disguise.

This principle is equivalent to the soldiers of the nine counties on the front line, and it is the same reason to maintain the dignity of Wu Dingguo's status as the governor.

dared to move him directly, even if it was Su Qi'an, he had to weigh it well.

Zhou Zibin looked at Feng Nan, as if he had thought of something, and said softly, "By the way, how did you investigate what Benzhou explained to you?" Look at the book

"Lord Hui, after the search of the lower officials, some suspicious people in the back nine counties were indeed found, and these people seem to be searching for some incriminating evidence."

"But who they are, who exactly they are under orders, and how they infiltrated it, there is no word yet, but there is a clue that coincides with the previous speculation of the adults."

"We found out that these mysterious people have more or less indirectly had a relationship with the Shen family firm."

"Of course, this kind of relationship is not much related, the caravan of the entire Dongzhou, or the route, as long as it is involved, can be related to the Shen family firm, after all, more than half of the economic lifeline of Dongzhou is controlled by the Shen family firm, maybe those people are trying to use the name of the Shen family firm, it is also possible to plant a false accusation."

Hearing Feng Nan's explanation, Zhou Zibin nodded slightly, he didn't care, "It's okay, whether this matter is planted or not, there must be a figure of the Shen family behind this, which shows that our previous thinking was right."

"After I leave, you have to increase your efforts to continue the search, and if necessary, you can throw out the smoke bombs of the Wu and Jiang families, I think this person in the shadows will definitely show his feet."

"Once you find out that it is really related to the Shen family, you can cut it first and then play it, and directly kill the Shen family, if this card is played well, it may become the key to our turnaround."

"Please rest assured, my lordship, this matter will definitely be worthy of my mission."

Zhou Zibin waved his hand, Feng Nan turned to leave, in the room, Zhou Zibin sat in it, his eyes flashed, he had arranged the matter of the last nine counties, and then he had to meet with this inspector.

If Su Qi'an wants to launch a third larger-scale counteroffensive, that is, to attack Zhoushan Island, he must mobilize a large number of troops, and this requisition of rear troops is an obvious signal. But this is far from enough, in addition to the army on land, there must also be a sailor, and relying on the Dongzhou Sailor alone, some are stretched, and those who can assemble in a short time and cooperate with the action, in addition to the Dongzhou Sailor, there is also a sailor from another state available.

Thinking of this, a strange smile rose at the corner of Zhou Zibin's mouth, in order to verify his conjecture, Zhou Zibin planned to take some eye medicine with this inspector this time.

Then he turned around and walked into the study on the right, holding a pen and writing something, about a moment later, a pigeon flew out of the state city and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye, but looking at the direction it went, it should be Kyoto City...

At this time, the nine counties on the front line, since the land of the two counties was recovered, the morale of the Dongzhou soldiers on the front line was high, and the previous decadence of the Tang Dynasty was swept away.

Not only that, but even the people on the front line could not hide the excitement on their faces when they heard about this, and even many people ran to the county government one after another, asking to join the army to fight pirates and pirates.

After so many years of fierce battles with pirates and pirates, the two sides were tied at most, which is good, how can there be a battle like this one, not only recovering the lost two counties, but also a large number of invading pirates and pirates.

On the coast of Dongzhou now, whether it is the beach or the sea, the air can still smell the strong smell of blood.

On the coast, there are a large number of Dongzhou garrisons, and even fortifications are built, and it seems that the army has no intention of withdrawing.

Not only these front-line soldiers, but even Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo did not return to the rear, but stayed in Qingchong County, which was closest to the front.

Even the newly recovered Zuohai County and the not far away Sanming County have a large number of soldiers stationed in the past few days.

Together with the station, there are also a large number of logistics supply convoys, this scene, some people who watched the heart beat wildly.

"This is not a rumor, this is true, the Inspector and the Metropolitan Governor are going to lead the army to counterattack and annihilate the pirates entrenched on Zhoushan Island in one fell swoop."

All the people who witnessed the soldiers along the way had this thought in their hearts, and the next moment, they ran to tell each other.

In just half a day, it spread all over the nine counties on the front line, and Su Qi'an, Wu Dingguo and other high-level leaders did not stop this kind of spread among the people at the bottom and adopted a tacit attitude.

There is no need to hide this matter, and if it spreads, it will not do any harm to the people of Dongzhou, but will improve the morale of everyone.

In the past few days, many people have been conscripted into the army, which is the best verification, what Su Qi'an wants is this kind of momentum, the more momentum he has, the more invisibly it will have a deterrent to the pirates and pirates on the other side of the coast.

At the beginning, the pirates and pirates destroyed the people of Dongzhou, in addition to physiological, but also psychological, many villages and towns near the coast, every time they heard the news of the pirates and pirates, they were terrified, and they could once stop children from crying.

And now, with the great victory of this battle, it is necessary not only to sweep away the decadence of the soldiers, but also to sweep away the fear buried in the hearts of the people.

Let them know that the so-called pirates are also afraid of death, and they only have one life, and if they die, they will die.

It's all two shoulders and one head, who is afraid of whom.

Regarding the high enthusiasm of the people, Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo were silent for a few days, and only when they saw that the time was ripe did they open their mouths to recruit troops.

And it was officially determined that the third battle will definitely be fought, and the third battle will definitely wipe out the pirates and pirates on Zhoushan Island, and return the people of Dongzhou to a real peace.

The confirmation of this news is not only inspiring internally, but also a formal declaration of war signal to the pirates on Zhoushan Island.
