It's just a pity that Zhou Fan has already revealed to him a lot of things that shouldn't be revealed even through his family relationship, such as the real purpose of Lujiang's attack on Shanyue... But the local family in Danyang is really useless.

Even though he had hinted several times, these people were so stupefied that they couldn't raise their sense of resistance. They even secretly killed a few militant factions in the city who were more radical, allowing capitulationism to occupy Wanling and even the whole of Danyang. main position.

……

Look at what they said before, let yourself go to the Han people to borrow food, send it to the Vietnamese army, and beat your Han compatriots? ?

Is this something that humans can do?

……

And those leading parties...

If the other party didn't take the initiative to jump out, then Zhou Xin hadn't noticed much yet.

Looking at the situation now, I kept urging myself to find those merchants in Wu County to buy food...

Is it you who lured those vampires to Danyang?

……

What a joke!

In the entire Jiangdong, and even the entire Yangzhou, who doesn't know the current situation in Danyang County?

In the whole of Danyang, the law and order have become rotten!Under such circumstances, how dare someone still come to Danyang to do business?

Are these businessmen all fools, or do these businessmen treat me, Zhou Xin, as a fool?

……

Even a three-year-old child, after such a thing, may be able to understand that it is clearly the collusion of these businessmen from Shanyue and Wujun that they can advance both internally and externally, exploiting Danyang's financial situation in exchange for the law.

But even so, your aristocratic families are still acting as leaders?

If I, Zhou Xin, really spend money to buy food from a few merchants in Wu County and supply it to Shanyue, how much kickback will you guys have to take?

……

It has to be said that although Zhou Xin is also from a family, it is difficult to generalize from family to family.

Although everyone is out of production, what the Zhou family pays attention to is the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, which is taught to the emperor's family. Although there are occasional situations of oppressing the people, it is more because of this In the era, the common people at the bottom... It is difficult for him to be treated as a "human being".

But the aristocratic family in Wu Jun is a little different.

Whether it is Wu County or the current Danyang, in Zhou Xin's eyes, these aristocratic families have lost the foundation of their local foothold, and there is not even a shred of faith left.

From top to bottom, the whole family is like a bunch of blood-sucking waste, greedily seeking all the benefits they can desire.

……

It is precisely because of this...

Zhou Xin made such a decision, which can be said to be against his ancestors.

……

Chapter 23 Surrender is the most hateful

History has proved that it is impossible to rely on the following aristocratic families to advance and retreat together with oneself and rise up to resist.

In this way, Zhou Xin, as Danyang's polished commander, naturally has nothing to be afraid of.

……

"Fan'er, I've already made a decision, so you don't need to persuade me anymore."

"I have been in the Danyang prefect position for so many years. I can't let the people live and work in peace. Now I can't share the worries of the monarch..."

"In this way, what's the point of my job as the prefect?"

Whispering to Zhou Fan, at this moment Zhou Xin seemed to be much older than before, and every move carried a taste of a hero's twilight in it.

And Zhou Fan didn't speak.

He just nodded, apparently already expected Zhou Xin's decision.

……

"Fan'er, I have tried many methods over the years. From the inside, from the outside, from various angles to try to solve Danyang's problem..."

"But you've seen it in the end. Even if you don't say you can't do anything, you can only protect the hundred miles around the government office from being harmed by thieves."

"Even now, I can no longer protect the people within a hundred miles of Wanling County."

……

"Don't you just want me to lead the aristocratic families in the city to cooperate and encircle and suppress these mountains?"

"It's very simple."

"Now, after these days of contact, I have almost figured out the details of these Shanyue. I will write a book later, and you can bring it back to your military chief. I think it will help you a lot."

"As for internal cooperation..."

"If these aristocratic families are unwilling, then I will bring my own people under Zhou Xin to cooperate with you and seize control of the city gate at the critical moment, so as not to let these thieves take advantage of the city gate to do evil."

"If these subordinates are unreliable...then I will do it myself!"

"At any rate, I also come from a noble family, and none of the six arts of a gentleman has ever failed since I was a child. I haven't paid much attention to the mere scumbags in Shanyue!"

……

It can be said that, as the prefect of Danyang, when Zhou Xin let go of his aristocratic burdens and began to wholeheartedly cooperate with Lujiang's proposal, he seemed to let go of his self-esteem as a court official, and his whole behavior was no longer the same as before. He was timid, but he became a lot bolder.

He has made his decision.

Since I can't sit in the position of the prefect of Danyang, I don't have to worry about whether to go beyond or not to go beyond.

The major events in the world belong to those who are capable.

Since Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang, decided to take care of it, he could just let it go. There is no need to hold on to things like etiquette and rules at this time.

……

Of course, he can also choose not to agree to Zhang Yan's request, and uprightly maintain his "independence" as a prefect of a county.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that if Zhang Yan sent troops to eliminate the banditry in Danyang, then as a cooperator, he would at most enjoy some convenience and results.

It is absolutely impossible for him to have the right to control Danyang in name as before.

At that time, whether this Danyang's surname is Zhou or Xingzhang, it may be a matter of Zhang Yan's words.

However, if that's the case, the people who will suffer in vain will be the people living in the area around Danyang.

They are bound to lose a lot of things in the conflict between forces.

If Zhou Xin really does this...

Then he is no longer the prefect of Danyang who fought to the end for the country and the people, for the people and Shanyue.

……

Closer to home, it is precisely because of this decisive "abandonment" of face that Zhou Xin has many things in the "inside".

After being persuaded by his nephew and nephew, Zhou Xin suddenly found that although he had no chance of winning against Shanyue alone, if he just cooperated with foreign troops, it would be quite easy to cause trouble on Shanyue's head.

……

Just like today, just a few minutes ago, the other party was handing over something he wanted, or a loophole, into his hands.

……

"Fan'er, this is the defense distribution map of various forces in Shanyue near Wanling."

"The opponent's [-] army seems to be united, but according to my understanding during this period...these people are actually composed of three parts."

"Peng Shi's direct troops are about 3 to [-] people."

"It turns out that there is a Yue army guarding the northern part of Danyang. The number is probably less than [-]."

"And... from various places in Danyang, various small forces came to Wanling like swarms. When added together, there are less than 3 people."

"If in normal times, these people unified command, it would not be obvious."

"It's just that, if it's a war, once the three major ministries are attacked, they will immediately panic to protect themselves, and won't think about rushing to help each other."

"If you can surround them, divide them and wipe them out, I think it will be able to alleviate a lot of difficulty."

……

I have to say that Zhou Xin still has something for Danyang prefect.

He also has a thorough understanding of the widespread command and dispatch issues between Shanyue.

It's just a pity that he is the prefect of Danyang, not the prefect of Lujiang... No matter how thorough he is, he doesn't have two or three big cats and kittens. Seeing Zhang Yan playing prestige on the side, he couldn't do anything.

But it must be admitted that the advice he gave at this time was extremely pertinent.

And the envoy, Zhou Fan, a member of the Zhou family, also nodded slightly.

"Uncle understands righteousness, I will live up to the entrustment, and pass this news back to several commanders in the army, and let them make a decision."

……

He arched his hands in the direction of Zhou Xin, and clasped his fists. Zhou Fan drew a general defense picture of Shanyue when he saw the other party, and was overjoyed. into his clothes.

But at this moment, Zhou Xin clicked his lips gently as if he was not satisfied.

……

"I'll give you all these things, as well as this Shanyue badge..."

"According to Napeng Shi, holding this item can pretend to be a food transport officer delivering grain to Shanyue, and he can freely come and go in the Shanyue camp without being questioned."

"You also take this thing away, anyway, there is no use for me to keep it."

"Since we have decided not to wear a pair of pants with those Shanyue, let's just do it a little more absolutely."

"If you use it properly, come to think of it, this waist card can also solve a lot of troubles for you."

……

Afterwards, Zhou Xin thought for a while, and as if recalling something, took another piece of white paper and wrote names one by one on it.

"As for these people..."
