Warring States Eagle

In the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot. Although it had just rained a little in the morning, there were hot and humid molecules swimming in the air, making people feel unbearably stuffy.

Next to the deep mountain spring, under an old pine tree, Zheng Liang was lying on a specially made wicker chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was thinking about life at the moment.Next to Zhengliang was the crane holding a small fan to gently fan Zhengliang cool, and on the other side was the butterfly cleaning the wild fruits sent by the leader.Corruption, really corruption, Zheng Liang kept blaming himself, and opened his mouth to swallow a wild fruit that Dongxiang chrysanthemum put in his mouth. Well, the taste is indeed very sweet.

"Your Highness, Your Highness", just as Zhengliang was about to swallow the second wild fruit that Dongxiang Ju sent, a hurried voice came from the entrance of the inner courtyard.Damn it, who bothers me at this time, this is an afternoon that I can hardly be lazy for several days.

Zheng Liang opened his eyes angrily, looked up, and saw Fantou Yinuo was galloping towards him, and behind him were two surnames who couldn't stop him.

"Your Highness," Yinuo knelt on the ground a few meters away from Zhengliang, sweating profusely, panting heavily, apparently running here, "A fierce battle broke out in Yunoo Castle."

"What?" Zheng Liang turned over and stood up quickly, "Hurry up, call all the retainers to evaluate." The two surnames who had just arrived had not yet stood still, and immediately turned around and rushed out again.

Soon, Zheng Liang knew the whole story from Yinuo.This morning, the Akasaka family and the Tateishi family, who originally jointly occupied Yuno Castle, had internal strife without warning, and a battle broke out.The battle started as a local skirmish and eventually turned into a full-scale conflict at noon.In the end, when the two troops were exhausted and both were injured, the troops of the Dono family who were supposed to withdraw to the city suddenly came out, and the two troops that were attacked immediately collapsed.The red-eyed Tang Ye family was willing to let go of this opportunity, and immediately chased after the rout for several miles, and finally refused to give up after the rout troops escaped from the original Tang Ye family's border.

Although the territory needs time to recuperate, but since there is a fighter opportunity, it cannot be missed.After hastily discussing with the retainers, Masara gathered 20 low-level samurai and 40 cloaks, and arrived at the checkpoint where the territory borders the Donoya territory in the afternoon.At this time, new news came.The Dono family, who had reoccupied Yuno Castle, had not tasted the fruits of victory before they received the news that the Uemakura family had spotted a suspicious plot on the border and started to cross the Zauchi River to invade the territory of the Dono family. In desperation , the Dono family had no choice but to leave a small number of people to stay in Yuno City, and then rushed back to the city.The Akasaka family and the Tateishi family who were hiding nearby saw a small number of defeated soldiers, and took the opportunity to gather under Yuno Castle again. For the supplies that the Akasaka family and the Tateishi family were defeated in the city warehouse, the two defeated troops miraculously reached a union The covenant, once again joined forces to attack Yuno City, dozens of people like beasts rushed towards Yuno City, which was less than twenty guards.

How can such a good opportunity be missed?Since the main forces of the three families were not there, it was time for the Luo family to be fishermen and snatch the fruits of victory. Zheng Liang immediately decided to rush to the battlefield with all of Ye Gaocun's troops.

On the afternoon of May 31st, Yuno Castle Castle Town.

After half a month of melee, the castle town of Yunoo Castle was full of broken trees and walls, and people were devastated.Only the small tributary of Wanga Lichuan in the distance is still flowing quietly, as if telling the prosperity of this place.With a force of 110 troops, Masarai waded across the shallow water upstream of a small tributary of the Wangali River, and then quickly rushed to the vicinity of Yuno Castle along the path where the Akasaka family attacked Yuno Castle.At this time, the gate of the city has been opened from the city by the rout soldiers who climbed in from the wall, and fighting is going on in the city.

"Kill", Masahiro pulled out Yoshioka's word and waved forward. The troops behind him, led by Hirasa Taro and Chujiro, rushed towards the opened city gate like a tide. The three troops who were still in the melee soon found that they had already passed Surrounded by enemies many times their size.Wars at this time are generally defeat battles, and after defeating the opponent, massacres rarely occur.So after several unlucky ghosts were stabbed into hedgehogs, these soldiers surrendered in a very simple manner.As for the samurai who resolutely organized an army to resist, Zheng Liang kindly gave them the honor of seppuku.

"So, this scuffle was caused by the woman who was imprisoned in the wooden house?" Masara asked as he sat on the chair of the council hall of the castle lord's mansion an hour after occupying Yuno Castle.

"Yes, Your Highness, I got confirmation from those prisoners," Chujiro said.

After getting Chujiro's affirmative answer, Zheng Liang felt very ridiculous. He really couldn't believe that it was a woman who caused the internal strife between the Akasaka family and the Tateishi family.It turned out that this morning, an ashigaru group leader of the Tateishi family led a few people to search for households in the nearby mountains and fields as usual, asking for more belongings from farmers. They didn't want to find a beautiful daughter of a farmer's family in a small ravine. , Immediately prepare to grab.Just at this time, another team from the Akasaka family passed by. The leader of the ashigaru team was green-eyed by the beauty of the woman, and joined in the robbery. The two sides immediately clashed, and finally the Akasaka family with more people The Ashigaru team wins.

The head of the ashigaru group of the Tateishi family who was defeated and injured immediately ran to the young master of the Tateishi family who was in charge of staying behind to complain, crying and complaining that the Akasaka family had robbed the beautiful woman who was going to be dedicated to the young master.The young master, who had long been displeased with the Akasaka family (the Akasaka family believed that they were stronger than the Tateishi family, and repeatedly made troubles in meetings to carve up the newly occupied land), immediately led people to argue and demanded that the woman be handed over.The Akasaka family scoffed at this, and the young master of the Tateishi family, who felt that his dignity was insulted, searched forcibly, causing conflicts. For), the young master of the Tateishi family who was furious gave an order to attack the Akasaka family in an all-round way.As a result, a full-scale internal strife broke out between the two families.Presumably, the two patriarchs, who had disagreements over the distribution of benefits, probably vomited three liters of blood after hearing the news in their respective homes.

"Give that woman back to her family, and organize the farmers in the nearby mountains to move to Yegao Village. This place is likely to become a battlefield again," Zheng Liang ordered, "How's the harvest this time?"

"Your Highness, a total of 36 long spears, 4 Marugi bows, 120 shi of miscellaneous grains, and 37 captives were captured this time. No one in our own army was injured, but no swords, coins and other supplies were found." Kisaburo Roshi, the commander of the Ashgaru Regiment, reported that "the military merits have been counted, and it is estimated that 5 shi of miscellaneous grains will be distributed."After finishing speaking, Kisaburo Roshi couldn't help but smile.In this attack, he claimed the head of a badly wounded warrior.Although it is a bit of a risk, but being able to claim the enemy's head in the official first battle at the age of less than 16 years old is already considered a brave performance.

"Hinsa, how is the situation on your side?" Masatoshi looked at Hirasa Taro who kept his head down and did not make a sound.In fact, another main reason why Masara was so eager to capture this place was that he learned from Hirasa Taro that when Dono Kichiro was the lord of the city, he set up a secret warehouse in the city and secretly accumulated a large amount of materials for the seizure of the heir.With the experience of the wild high mountain bandit's secret warehouse, Zheng Liang is looking forward to it.

"Your Highness, the secret warehouse is still intact and has not been discovered by the rest of the family. This time, a total of 15 swords, 30 spears, 25 pairs of simple bamboo armor, and more than 500 stones of miscellaneous grains have been harvested from there," Hirazutaro said in a low voice. According to the report, "In addition, the head of the original patriarch Dono Jijiro and the body of Sakuma Toki, the former patriarch of the subject, were found in the secret room. Nojijiro took back his head, then hid there, and finally apologized by harakiri."

Seeing Hirasa Taro's dejected face, Masara couldn't find a suitable word of comfort for a while. He was silent for a while, and finally said, "Give him a proper burial, and as for Dono Keijiro's head, keep it in lime."

"Your Highness, are you...?" Hearing Masara's order, Hirasa Taro felt a little puzzled.

"Is Your Highness going to make friends with the Dono family?" Kisaburo Luo asked at this time.

Masara nodded slightly, "The Dono family is currently being attacked on both sides. After this war, its strength has also weakened. In the past, it was because they could not reconcile with the Akasaka family and the Tateishi family. Take this place. Now that the main family is defending him against the threats of the Akasaka family and the Tateishi family, even if he is unwilling, the Dono family will reluctantly accept the status quo. Besides, this place faces enemies on three sides, so we can temporarily make good friends with the Dono family , can also greatly alleviate the threat of the family.”

"Your Highness, the Dono family may not agree to the kindness of the main family?" Hira Sataro said.

"Return the head of Dono Keijiro, and then take 300 shi from the miscellaneous grains captured here to exchange weapons with the Dono family. The territory has been invaded repeatedly, and the income of the Dono family's autumn harvest this year must have decreased. With this 300 shi of grain, and they will be much better off. Pinzuo, you will be responsible for this matter,” Zheng Liang said.As a former samurai of the Dono family, Hirazataro is most suitable for this task, and Masara also plans to test his loyalty.As for food, Luo's family has seized a lot after several wars. What's more, they can still buy food from Huzi's family now, but weapons cannot be bought. It is also cost-effective to exchange these food for some weapons.

"Yes, Your Highness," Hirasataro bowed to accept the order, "but I don't know what kind of reply Your Highness needs from the other party?"

"Hehe, the other party won't reply," Zheng Liang said with a smile.

"Ah?" All the retainers were taken aback. Since they knew that the other party would not reply, why are they doing so many things?

"The original territory of the family has been occupied by others, and now we still need the help of others to tide over the difficulties. If you force the other party to answer, it will only make the other party feel ashamed. In the end, they will not hesitate to fight with the family. Therefore, the other party only needs to agree to exchange weapons with the family. That's enough," Zhengliang explained.As long as the other party agrees to exchange supplies, it means that the other party acquiesces in the goodwill of the Luo family.

"Your Highness is brilliant." After fully understanding Zheng Liang's intentions, everyone couldn't help admiring the lord's wisdom.

After ordering everyone to go down, Zheng Liang summoned Yinuo, who had just rushed back, alone. "How's the situation?" Zhengliang asked.

"Your Highness, after the main force of the defeated army returned to the home territory, they learned that Yunoo Castle had fallen, and the head of the Akasaka family was furious. He beheaded the retainers who were in charge of staying behind, and then regrouped the team, as if preparing to invade this place again." Yinuo looked at it cautiously. Looking at Zhengliang's face, he found that Zhengliang was calm, swallowed, and continued to report, "The troops of the Dono family have already fought with the troops of the invading Shangcang family. As for the Tateishi family, there was an incident It is a strange thing that the young master of the Lishi family, who was only slightly injured, died of serious injuries during the retreat."

"Huh? Died from serious injuries?" Zheng Liang immediately smelled conspiracy from the news, "Hahaha, it seems that our family has lost a strong enemy for the time being."

Seeing Zheng Liang talking to himself, Yi Nuo, who was kneeling on the ground, was at a loss. He didn't know why Zheng Liang was so happy all of a sudden.

"Continue to closely monitor the movements of several companies," Zheng Liang finally said.

"Yes, Your Highness," Yinuo bowed and walked out quickly.

"Pass down the order, let everyone be vigilant and get ready for battle," Zheng Liang instructed Xiao Xing behind him.

It seems that there will be another big battle.
