Yamashita Yong's eyes flashed, and he no longer laughed wildly, but when he looked at Su Qi'an, his eyes were still full of contempt.

He didn't believe that he had paid such a big price, and this young man could still break his tricks?

In his opinion, this is just Su Qi'an continuing to be reckless, because of his incompetence, he wants to regain a little face in front of him.

Since Su Qi'an is not giving up and continues to compare, let's wait and see, it is unknown who will kill the deer.

As the two sides fought, the Battle of the Inner Island began.

Dongzhou front, Qingchong County Government.

The room was full of people, but there was a dead silence, and everyone's faces were not very good.

Just now, a quarter of an hour ago, the soldiers patrolling the coast of Dongzhou, on the shore, suddenly found several Dongzhou soldiers covered in blood and seemingly seriously injured.

Before they fainted, they sent back a very bad news, the army besieging Zhoushan Island, when conquering the last inner island, fell into the ambush of the other side and suffered heavy losses.

The Inspector, the Grand Governor, and the Marquis of Lingdong were all trapped, and several of them were messengers, who were lucky enough to escape and strongly requested reinforcements.

When the patrol soldiers heard the news, their faces changed, and they hurriedly told Zhou Zibin, who was sitting in Qingchong County, about the bad news.

Originally, according to the arrangement, Zhou Zibin was located in Haizhou City and was responsible for providing logistics supplies.

However, as the war continued, the three counties on the front line were under great pressure, and Zhou Zibin, as the state pastor, came to Qingchong County from the safe city of Haizhou, in order to set an example and stabilize the morale of the army.

Zhou Zibin's arrival was a little tense and obviously relaxed.

But this kind of ease didn't last long, and this kind of bad news came, and Zhou Zibin, who learned the news, immediately summoned several high-level county guards who stayed on the front line in Dongzhou to discuss urgently.

This kind of bad news, at first everyone did not believe it, after all, two days ago, they learned the news and went well, although Xie Cang, who attacked Zhoushan Island, was ambushed.

But fortunately, with the assistance of 10,000 sailors from Yuezhou, half of the Fuso sailors were defeated, and Yamashita Yong was captured, and the two armies joined forces to storm the last inner island.

This is very exciting news, all the front-line soldiers in Dongzhou heard it, they were very happy and excited, their morale improved a lot, and they all screamed, eager to go to sea immediately to help Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo.

But this kind of good news is not two days away, how can the battle of Zhoushan Island be so completely different, it can be said to be earth-shaking bad news?

Not to mention everyone, even Zhou Zibin was hard to believe, he didn't think about it, and quickly flew the pigeon to pass the book to confirm the authenticity.

But as time passed, for half a day, there was no return to the news, which seemed very unusual.

The hearts of everyone hanging are even tighter.

Everyone in the room was silent, and it wasn't long before a county guard couldn't help but speak. Ь.

"Wait! Wait! Wait, when is this going to be? It's been half a day, and there has been no reply, so we just continue to wait indifferently?"

"Qin Junshou, the lower officials can understand your emotions, but before the matter is clear, everything must be arranged by the supervision envoy and the metropolitan governor, the more at this time, the more calm you must be."

Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows, stood up violently, and shouted at Fang Jingzhi, who spoke out to stop him.

"Fang County Commander, I know that you are a red person around the Supervision Envoy and the Grand Governor, and you have also been on the front line as a county commander for several years, I respect you."

"But now that something like this has happened, we don't know anything about the battle situation on Zhoushan Island, and we continue to wait, it is right to obey the orders of the Inspector and the Grand Governor, but we must also adapt to everything."

"If the Inspector and the Metropolitan Governor are really trapped on Zhoushan Island, we will sit like this, consume, it will be too late to send troops, if something happens to the two adults because of our hesitation, we will be able to take the blame, and I, Qin Zhen, will regret it for the rest of my life!"

Qin Zhen's voice was low, obviously restraining his emotions, but if it was someone else who spoke out to dissuade him, Qin Zhen would definitely not leave any emotion. Xiushu.com

Fang Jing was stunned, he realized that he had said something wrong, and was just about to explain, when he was suddenly interrupted by Zhou Zibin, who was sitting in the first place.

"Okay, don't quarrel, summon you here to discuss things, not to listen to your quarrels, and sit down in this state."

Fang Jingzhi and Qin Zhen could only take a step back and sit down, and then Zhou Zibin looked around at everyone before saying.

"I know, you have some opinions about Honshu, after all, the front line of Dongzhou has always been supervised by the Metropolitan Governor, and the inspectors came to the front, and the battle was beautiful, and Honshu came at this time, and it seems that it is a bit of a taste of grabbing the fruits of victory."

When everyone in the room heard this, their faces changed slightly, and Zhou Zibin's words did say what was in their hearts.

But the words in my heart are hidden in my heart, seeing that Zhou Zibin is not pleasing to the eye, he is also a state pastor, and he is their superior, if he is silent by default, it is equivalent to agreeing, who knows if there will be small shoes to wear in the future.

Just as a few people were about to explain something a little, Zhou Zibin raised his palm, stopped a few people, and then continued.

"You don't have to be like this, this state still has this bit of open-mindedness, and I won't embarrass you and wait, the reason why I put it on the table is to tell you that Dongzhou is your Dongzhou, and it is also the Dongzhou of this state."

"Now that the battle situation on the front line is unknown, the life and death of the inspector and the governor are unknown, and Ben Zhou, as the most powerful member, should have done something."

"Pass on the order of the state, immediately mobilize 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers from the three counties, set off at any time, and the 30,000 Houzhou soldiers sitting in the remaining six counties of Haizhou City will draw out 20,000 troops and take over the first three counties."

"The warships are ready, and 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers will go out with Honshu."

This order, Fang Jingzhi and they had no opinion on the internal arrangements of Dongzhou, but when they heard that Zhou Zibin was going to lead the army to the battle, everyone was stunned.

It's not that it can't be done, but it's impossible at all, he can put it up by himself, but it is impossible to implement it, just because he is the pastor of Dongzhou.

The dignified Dongzhou pastor led the troops to the battle, and these officials stayed behind, no matter how the battle was fought, their punishment was indispensable.

Without the order of the imperial court, how can the shepherd of a state lead an army to go on an expedition, which doesn't roast them?

Zhou Zibin was responsible for escorting grain and grass to the front line, and according to the law, local officials had to be punished, if they really agreed to Zhou Zibin to lead the army to the battle, they would be the end of these officials.

It's like saying something morale-boosting or even setting an example by the boss at the top of his boss.

However, these local officials must do their best to stop it, and they must not acquiesce, otherwise, they will be impeached, and they will be investigated and prosecuted if they sit back and watch the officials get into danger.

Like Su Qi'an and Wu Dingguo, who took the initiative to go to the front, they are very different from Zhou Zibin, except that the two were appointed by the imperial court to be in charge of the war in Dongzhou, and more importantly, they were also burdened with the accusations of military generals.

One is the governor of Dadu, the other is the military marquis of Daliang, and Zhou Zibin is a pure civil official, who knows nothing, and he has not been appointed by the imperial court to supervise the army.

Even if he is inspired, he must not lead the army to the battle, at most he will receive it.

At the moment when Zhou Zibin's words fell, as imagined, all the officials in the house tried their best to oppose it, although these front-line officials still had some doubts about Zhou Zibin in their hearts, but some official ways still had to be done.

Everyone objected with all their might, Zhou Zibin's eyes flashed, and after arguing with everyone for a long time, he chose to compromise.

I don't know if I don't want to embarrass everyone, or if I deliberately try to do it, anyway, Zhou Zibin didn't lead the army to go on the expedition, which is over. Ь.

After unanimous consultation, the 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers who went out to support this expedition were led by Qin Zhen.

The three counties of Qing Chong are still in charge of Zhou Zibin, and Fang Jingzhi is supplemented and coordinated.

The order was issued quickly, and in less than an hour, 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers were on standby on the coast of Dongzhou.

Qin Zhen led the army to get on the ship immediately, and as the soldiers got on the boat, the warship started, and under the gaze of everyone, the warship slowly disappeared into the sea.

Zhou Zibin stood in place, not saying a word, but anyone could see the worry on his face.

He sighed deeply and turned to leave.

The officials behind him were silent, and then dispersed and returned to their respective county towns.

Through this incident, I saw Zhou Zibin's example, even if it was just acting, but I still had him in my heart

Some improvements.

Although it is not big, at least since he came to the front line in Dongzhou, everything he has done has not been too selfish, and he has devoted himself to the war in Dongzhou.

Fang Jingzhi, who was following behind, his eyes flashed, he was left behind by Su Qi'an, in addition to shouldering the stability of the counties on the front line in Dongzhou, and more importantly, monitoring Zhou Zibin.

No matter how many good things Zhou Zibin did when he came to the front line in Dongzhou, Fang Jingzhi did not relax his vigilance from beginning to end.

He doesn't know much about Zhou Zibin, but after staying in the Houjiu County of Dongzhou for so long, what kind of virtue those county guards are, you can see what kind of character the higher-level state pastor is.

If Zhou Zibin was really forced to compromise and compromise, it would be impossible for him to be the state pastor for so long.

No matter how Zhou Zibin changes, Fang Jingzhi has always been highly suspicious of him.

Bidding farewell to Qin Zhen and other Dongzhou soldiers who went out to support the expedition, Fang Jingzhi followed Zhou Zibin and returned to Qingchong County.

Because of the departure of 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers and the entry of Houzhou soldiers, some things still have to be dealt with by Fang Jingzhi.

When the processing was over, it was almost dark, and Fang Jingzhi was preparing to inspect the patrol and defense of various parts of the county according to the process.

Master Liu ran in, his face solemn and brought a message, "The state pastor wants to see you."

Fang Jingzhi was a little surprised, but quickly regained his composure, he had a hunch that Zhou Zibin was going to have a showdown with him tonight.

Fang Jingzhi nodded and motioned to lead the way, but Master Liu's face was full of worry and wanted to stop Fang Jingzhi.

Fang Jingzhi looked at Liu Sheng and said, "Lord Governor summoned me, what reason do I have not to go? After waiting for so long, it should be up to the state pastor to see what he thinks."

"Don't worry, he's prepared, it doesn't mean I'm unprepared, if I touch him, at least I can find out something, at least the inspector will deal with it in the future, and I will have some understanding."

"Let's go, let's meet this Dongzhou pastor for a while." Fang Jingzhi was very calm, looking ready.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng, who was beside him, could only nod helplessly and took Fang Jingzhi to see Zhou Zibin.
