Warring States Eagle

On the twelfth day of May in the ninth year of Tianwen, it was early in the morning.

There hasn't been a drop of rain for several days, and today it finally started to drizzle.Outside the window, the flowers and plants that seem to have shrunk a little, seem to have found nectar, and they compete for beauty overnight.

Zhengliang didn't sleep well last night. Firstly, it was because he suddenly arrived in a strange place, and he was not used to the tatami mats. Secondly, he received the good news from the Onishi Kingdom last night that the Fujiwara family's territory had been occupied.In this way, within one day, the Luo family occupied three powerful territories, which can be said to be as fast as lightning, so Zheng Liang was so excited that he couldn't sleep even after tossing and turning.

Early in the morning, with panda eyes on his face, Masara and Togo Heiji set off separately after instructing Kosuke and Chujiro to pay attention to the things left behind.Dongxiang Heiji took Sahachiro, accompanied by two ashigaru, to Chemuzhai, and Zheng Liang, with a small surname, Shingoro, rushed to Fujihira village, accompanied by two ashigaru.Originally, Zhengliang planned to go alone with only his surname, but all the retainers persuaded that there are still many wandering peasants and soldiers who have not returned home because they are worried about being implicated. These wandering soldiers even include several The samurai of the Xiaomu family and the Fujihira family, and one of the escaped sons of the Xiaomu family has not yet been found. For safety, it is better to bring two ashigaru.Zheng Liang thought about it, and felt reasonable. Even though he had good military strength, he should be careful with the Wannian Ship.

Braving the drizzle, walking on the already wet muddy hill road, Zheng Liang looked around and saw the lush trees around him. Looking carefully, there were little jade beads on the bright green leaves, shining in the morning sun.With such an artistic conception, Zheng Liang did not dare to be moved with emotion.This is my territory. It has been nearly a month and a half since I came here. I used to be alone and unaccompanied, but now I am the lord of a small piece of land.Or at the beginning, you may feel lonely, hesitant, or even helpless. Every night when people are quiet, you will be awakened by the strange air around you, but now you feel like home. Yes, this small territory is your home.

His thoughts returned to reality, and he looked at the two ashigaru who were guarding nearby, Masara smiled slightly.Then it suddenly occurred to me that the rangers hiding in the wild might not feel well under such weather. Presumably many people will return home, and the speed of stabilization of the newly occupied area can be greatly accelerated.

In this way, while admiring the scenery along the way, move forward slowly.

After more than an hour's walk, Zheng Liang and his party arrived at Tengping Castle without any surprises.At this moment, the outside of Fujihira Castle was peaceful, and occasionally a few townspeople in the castle town were seen cautiously entering and leaving.Daxi Guozhi, who was cleaning up supplies in the walled city, heard that the lord had arrived, and immediately went out to greet him.

The two sat down in the council hall of the lord's mansion.

Onishi Kuniji bowed, and then reported, "Your Highness, I have lived up to my entrustment. I captured this fortress yesterday evening, and eliminated the unstable factors in the territory overnight. All the men of the Fujiwara family have been hacked and killed." , and the rest of the family members need to wait for His Highness's arrangement."

"Well. Let's move to Yegao Village according to the original method, give them fields, let them settle down, and don't insult them," Zhengliang thought for a while and said.Hearing Masara's arrangement, Onishi Kuniji secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If Masara planned to visit these family members, troubles would likely arise, because Fujiwara Hiranobu's first wife is still very young and beautiful. She took her as a concubine, what should she do once she gave birth to a son?In this way, other retainers will have objections, and it will inevitably cause internal instability in the Luo family who has just improved.Of course, if Zhengliang knew what Onishi Guozhi was thinking now, he would probably shout to the sky, Matsumiko is just a maid, not a concubine, and Matsumiko and I are absolutely innocent, okay?

"As for the citizens, I have arranged for the peasants and soldiers who surrendered to appease outside the city today, and the riots caused by the sudden change have settled down. But some of the leaders petitioned for the release of the captured peasants and soldiers," continued Onishi Kuniji , "In terms of supplies, the minister is taking stock."

"Those captives are still being held temporarily, and they will be released after the rangers in the territory have basically returned to their homes." Zheng Liang worried that during this special period, these farmers and soldiers would be stirred up by those who wanted to cause chaos. How's the defense going?" Compared to these, Zhengliang was more concerned about the defense of the newly occupied territory.

"From last night to now, more than 20 people who attempted to report outside the territory have been arrested," Onishi Kuniji said solemnly, "Most of them are residents of the original Fujiwara family, and a small number are tourists from other families. They underestimated The abilities of the warriors personally trained by His Highness were easily captured."

"Hmph, these people are all reduced to slaves in the territory, and the territory just lacks a lot of free labor at present." Zheng Liang snorted and said angrily, "Immediately arrange to form a patrol team to strengthen the investigation of suspicious people in the territory."At this time, it is still easy for these "boy scouts" to form, just give each family a little food, and at the same time, by controlling these children, they can in turn monitor the actions of the aliens in the territory.

"Yes, Your Highness, the subjects will go down and make arrangements in person immediately." Onishi Kuniji felt ashamed that he could not deal with these problems in time, "In addition, the territory of the Hara Fujiwara family is bordered by the Takara family in the south and the Oda family in the northeast. After recruiting and surrendering more than 20 farmers and soldiers in the territory, the ministers mixed with the forces of the main family, and set up checkpoints at the two junctions. At present, there are less than 10 ashigaru in Fujiwara Castle."

"Well, I have arranged for Guangzong and Heiji to be in charge of the entrance and exit of the territory of the Changkura family along the coast of Fujihira Lake and the north. If necessary, they will support the checkpoints in the northeast direction," said Zhengliang. "At the same time, the 20 warriors from Guangzong's place It has already started to rush here, and it must be here in the afternoon."

"Your Highness has made careful arrangements." Onishi Guozhi is worrying about the defense of the newly occupied territory. Unexpectedly, Zheng Liang has already arranged everything. "In addition, according to the intelligence of the family's investigation in the morning, the tycoons near the family's territory have changed. Especially the Chongliang family."

"Has it really started? Hehe." Masaragi continued with an expression of knowing this, "Guozhi, the reception here and the protection of the Oda family in the northeast will be entrusted to you. I will rush to the border with Chongliang's house immediately. After Guangzong's reinforcements arrive, let them join me immediately, I want to see if the Chongliang family has the courage to fight against my family."

"Yes, Your Highness," Onishi Kuniji bowed to accept the order.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Under the Zhanggao Mountain, Feiliang City.In the meeting hall of Chongliang's family.

"What?" Takara Zhizong turned pale in shock, "What did you say? The Fujiwara family was defeated?"

A detective at the entrance of the meeting hall trembled, and responded in a low voice, "Yes, Your Highness, at noon yesterday, the Ogi family and the Fujiwara family who were fighting fiercely had already gained the upper hand. The two coalition forces were defeated, and the villain immediately took advantage of the collapse of the two forces and rushed back through the forest path overnight to report to the adults."

"Which family does that team belong to? Tell me quickly," Chongliang Zhizong began to feel that things had deviated from his plan.It was completely unexpected that the two coalition forces were defeated, and so quickly.

"The villain doesn't know either," the detective reported.

"What? I don't know?" Chongliang Zhizong, who rarely got angry, was furious.

"The team of troops was flying a white military flag with a goshawk painted on it. The villain has never seen such a family crest." Fearing that the lord would cut himself off in a fit of anger, the detective immediately reported loudly .

"Goshawk?" Takara Chimune paused slightly, Higashimatsuura did not have such a powerful family crest, "Quickly, let Master Shigeta come here, and gather troops immediately."Chongliang Zhizong absolutely does not allow anyone to take away his doctor's property, he must act immediately.

"My lord", as soon as the voice fell, Mu Zhuo Shigeta had already walked over quickly, obviously there was an urgent report, "The coalition forces of the Xiaomu family and the Fujiwara family were defeated, and Xiaomu Dazhong, who has fled to his family's territory, is outside the city. It's in charge."

"Hmph, useless guy, the army of more than 200 people was defeated like a mountain? No see." Chongliang Zhizong, who had just known the result of the joint battle, quickly calmed down, "I have ordered the army to gather and seize the first Let’s talk about Fujihira.”

"My lord, the detectives sent by our family to monitor Fujihira Castle and Tashiro Castle have not sent any information back since last night." Kizo Shigeta said a more worrying situation.

"You mean, the border blockade has been strengthened over there?" Chongliang Zhizong pointed to the north direction.

"I'm afraid this is the case, or after the defeat of the Tahara and Tengheira families, they packed up their routs and returned to their respective territories. In order to prevent the coveted eyes of other tyrants, they strengthened the defenses of their own territories. But the most likely thing is that the one that suddenly appeared The team that came took advantage of the fisherman and occupied the territory of one of the families," Muzu Shigeta said solemnly.

Chongliang Zhizong paced back and forth, thinking hard, then suddenly stopped, looked at the wooden Shigeta and asked, "What do you think the family should do?"

"My lord, my family doesn't know anything about the situation there at present, and I suggest that we send more detectives to infiltrate the information. In addition, the family can use Daichu Ogi outside the city," Kizuo Shigeta said with a bow.

"Huh?" Takara Jisune looked at Wooden Shigeta and motioned for him to continue talking.

"Send a mediation envoy, in the name of mediating for the Xiaomu family, to test it out," Kizuo Shigeta said immediately.

"Okay, that's it for the time being, but the peasants and soldiers must gather first, and once the investigation is clear, the troops will be dispatched immediately. As for Ogi Dazhong, you will arrange it for the time being." Chongliang Zhizong nodded helplessly, "In addition, who can take charge of this time?" your envoy?"

"Let the dog do the work for you," said Shigeta, who was made of wood, bowing in salute.

"That's it, let's go down and make arrangements immediately," Takayoshi Zhimune said.

"Yes, Your Highness," Shigeta heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Chongliang Jizong agreed to his arrangement.
