Warring States Eagle

In the Taijiu family's territory, there are rumors that the head of the family was killed.

At the beginning, all the townspeople were dubious, but following the description of the peasants and soldiers who fled back home, and the propaganda of several messengers who were said to be the head of the young master, everyone became panicked.

The Luo family is about to come for revenge.

The messengers holding the head of the young master of the Taijiu family were the detectives sent by Zheng Liang to spread rumors in the territory of the Taijiu family in advance, and the so-called head of the young master was a fake, Zheng Liang deliberately made people make the face of the head It was bloody and bloody, creepy and unrecognizable.

Spreading rumors in other people's territories with such fanfare, isn't it afraid that the lord here will send troops to surround and kill them?In fact, these detectives are not afraid at all.Except for the dozens of guards used to guard the city rock, all the elite troops of the Taijiu family were killed or captured in the battle out of Songhu.At that time, Taijiu's family, which was in charge of the western front, was hit hard by the surprise attack of the Onishi Kingdom, and the damage was the most serious. Even if these peasants and soldiers escaped by chance, they did not dare to regroup for a while.Therefore, even if the Taijiu family intends to hunt and kill these scouts, they are powerless.

What is even more surprising is that the Patriarch Taijiu who hastily fled home did not come forward to clarify the rumors in the territory at all, and did not even forcibly recruit farmers and soldiers in the territory to guard the city.No one knows what the lord is doing at the moment.This aggravated the fear of the townspeople, and some townspeople even fled to the wild with their families, intending to temporarily avoid the coming war.

Towards evening, Zhengliang's team swaggered to Taijiu's home town, Jiubao Castle.On the dirt wall, more than a dozen guards looked at the crowd below as if facing an enemy, and the atmosphere was tense.

"It's strange, there are really so few people? What does Tai Jiu want to do?" Zheng Liang, who had received the investigation report in advance, was puzzled.Ordinarily, Taijiu Baoyi, who fled back home early, should have enough time to call some farmers and soldiers to strengthen the guard. Although it may not be possible to call too many people under the rumors of Zhengliang, four or 50 people can always be called. of.But looking at the number of people on the dirt wall now, it was obviously unexpected.Could it be that there are more people in ambush in the city?

For this reason, Zheng Liang once again found the detective who was in charge of monitoring the movement of Jiubao Castle.

"Your Highness, since the villain came here, he has been carefully monitoring the movement around him. Except for a few townspeople who came to the city to report rumors in the territory, he has never seen anyone enter the city," the detective said. Fan reported carefully.It seems that he is afraid that the lord will be unhappy and click him.

"Did you see Taijiu Baoyi enter the city?" Zheng Liang began to suspect that Taijiu had never returned.

"When the villain arrived here, he didn't see anyone entering the city. However, according to the description of the townspeople in the castle town, in the afternoon, he saw the head of the Taijiu family rushing back to the city in a state of embarrassment with the support of two samurai adults. ", Detective Fan tried hard to recall.

"Huh?" Zheng Liang looked at the Jiubao City standing on the hillside not far away and pondered, and finally seemed to have figured out something, and smiled, "Okay, old man for a long time, let me see your What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Liang waved his right hand, and a dozen Luo family soldiers with a head in each hand set off again, and came to the city to pile up the Jingguan.

Everything was exactly the same as dealing with Changcang's house, and the dozens of guards on the dirt wall suddenly panicked.After seeing the earth wall, Zheng Liang shouted, "Start!" The soldiers in charge of piling up the Jingguan immediately grabbed the heads and threw them at the earth wall with all their strength. Dozens of heads shot towards the earth wall like raindrops. The earth wall, part of it fell on the earth wall, and part of it fell under the earth wall.The guards on the city who were suddenly attacked immediately screamed.Anyone who was hit by these blood-stained heads would break out in a cold sweat.

The matter was not over yet, the young master of the Taijiu family who was bound was pushed to the bottom of the city.Taiku Baoqing can be regarded as extremely unlucky. He originally thought that Zheng Liang had let him go, but what he didn't expect was that after being captured, he was tortured by the Luo family's troops in turn. He really couldn't survive or die.Now that Zhengliang got the promise that as long as he can persuade the guards in the city to surrender and open the city gate, he will be saved from death, and he is crying his father and mother to try his best to persuade him to surrender.Immediately behind Takubo Haru were dozens of captured Ashgaru from the Taiku family. They also received a promise that they would be released afterwards, and their task was also to persuade the guards in the city to surrender.

Generally speaking, a city with only a dozen guards can basically be stormed with a single attack. However, in order to prevent any ambushes in the city, Zheng Liang had no choice but to continue to carry out psychological warfare according to the original plan.After successive attacks by Zhengliang, and without the head of the family personally sitting in the town, the guards in charge of defending the city quickly decided to surrender.

With the city gate slowly opening, the troops of the Luo family cautiously entered the city under the restraint of Zheng Liang.The area of ​​the city is small, and after confirming that there are no abnormalities in other places, the Luo family surrounded the castle tower in the middle of the city.According to the maid in the city, after the city lord came back, he lived in the castle tower directly. Except for two samurai who occasionally came out to issue orders, he never saw the city lord again.

"Break the door open," Zheng Liang ordered.Several ashigaru carried a day's thick wood and immediately launched a violent attack on the gate of the castle tower.

With a "bang", the door fell down, and several cloaks that had been prepared a long time ago rushed in.Then Zhengliang followed closely behind.

The first thing that came into view were two warriors in white who were lying in a pool of blood.From the looks of it, he died by harakiri for his family loyalty.After people moved the bodies of the two samurai away, everyone walked up the stairs to the second floor of the castle tower.

The space on the second floor is even smaller, with only one large room similar to Ri's usual living room.A cloaked member gently pushed open the paper door of the Daihiroma door, and Zheng Liang saw Takuhoyoshi lying on his back on a tatami mat, obviously dead for a long time.A bandaged wound can be seen on his abdomen. It should be that he was accidentally injured in the rebellion just like his unlucky son during the First World War at noon.The difference is that his son only suffered a calf injury, whereas he was clearly fatally wounded.

There is a letter next to the tatami.After the cloaks were inspected for any abnormalities, they were handed over to Zheng Liang to be opened for reading.Zheng Liang took a letter addressed to him and read it slowly.In the letter, he first praised Zhengliang, and then said that Taiku Baoyi was accidentally injured when he escaped. He knew that he was seriously injured and would die soon, so he wrote this letter.Taiku Hoyoshi, who knew his son's ability well, predicted that after his death, the Taiku family would be killed by his son sooner or later, and asserted that after the battle at noon, as the victor, Masaragi would take the opportunity to attack the two families quickly.In the end, Taijiu Baoyi implored Zhengliang to treat his two daughters kindly, and the territory of Taijiu's family was given to Zhengliang as the dowry of the two daughters.

Slowly putting down the letter, Zheng Liang looked up at the sky outside the castle tower, the sky was bright red, and the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated everything on the earth.The woods in the distance swayed gently in the evening wind, forming waves of trees.

The hateful Utaku Baoyoshi, even after his death, will plot against him. If other people occupy this place, after learning the contents of this letter, they must be wary of the Luo family.And once Zheng Liang learned of the content of this letter, he would inevitably use the banner of the dowry mentioned in this letter to attack here as a righteous cause. As for how to let Zheng Liang know the content of the letter, it is much simpler, too Kuboyi must have arranged for people outside the city. Once Zhengliang did not occupy this place, rumors would spread.No matter what the result is, Zhengliang will be passive.As for Taikubaoyi's son, Taikubaoyi must have made other arrangements, otherwise it would be no wonder Taikubaoqing didn't go crazy when he came back here and read this letter.

It's a pity that, after thousands of calculations, what Taiku Baoyi didn't calculate was that his son was captured before him, so no one organized the overall situation in time to resist the Luo family's attack.And the two samurai downstairs were also disappointed and loyal until the last moment when they learned that their young master had been captured, and even persuaded him to surrender outside the city.

Looking down at Takuboyoshi who seemed to be calm, Masara once again felt the cruelty of the war between the Sengoku clans.At the last moment of his life, the head of the family, who was famous for his marriage and diplomacy, did not have any children by his side. It is conceivable how miserable this middle-aged man was at that time.

"Bury him well," Zheng Liang put the letter in his arms, and then ordered, since the man died, and he was given such a big gift to the Luo family, it is only natural to bury him well, "According to the plan, quickly go down to settle the new territory. As for the young master of the Taijiu family, give him a good time."In fact, Zheng Liang has never planned to keep his promise to Haru Utakubo. In such an era, he never needs to keep his promise to the enemy.

Several cloaked people bowed to take orders.

An hour later, Zheng Liang, who basically controlled the entire territory of the Taijiu family, began to inspect the new territory.At this time, a detective rushed over.

"Your Highness, Inubo Valley is occupied by the Ishida family," the detective said hastily.

The Dog Bark Valley is the main road from the northern territory of the Taijiu family to other powerful forces in the north, and the fields in the valley are fertile, which is an important source of food for the Taijiu family.Going north along Inubokaya, the Ishida family borders on the Taigu family.

"The Ishida family?" Zhengliang asked suspiciously.

"The Ishida family has an in-law relationship with the Taiku family. The current Patriarch of the Ishida family is the son-in-law of Taiku Baoyoshi. This time, the other party came here under the banner of rescuing his father-in-law. After hearing that His Highness has occupied the main city of the Taiku family, Backed up quickly, and finally stopped in the Valley of Dogs, and seemed to be planning to set up a checkpoint there to guard against the family," the detective came clearly prepared, and immediately explained after seeing Zheng Liang's doubts.

"Hmph, it seems that someone needs to beat it," Zheng Liang said sternly.
