Married men are happy. Every day, Zhengliang takes care of territorial affairs and inspects the training of various teams during the day. At night, he trains his wife on the tatami and lives a fairy-like life.

But good times always pass quickly. As the autumn harvest time approaches, a plan that Zheng Liang has been planning has officially kicked off.

On August 1540th, the ninth year of Tianwen ([-]), Zhengliang called all the important retainers to conduct an important assessment in the mansion of Lord Ye Gaoshan.

Zheng Liang sat on the main seat, and slowly glanced at the retainers, this time it was true that all the important retainers were present.

Sitting in the first row are Togo Heiji, Onishi Kuniji, Tsuda Hiromune, and Kosuke; in the second row are Chujiro, Hirasa Masataka, Kizo Shigetada, and Son Goro; in the third row are Ichino, Rashi Sasuke, and Rashi Masahide.Shingoro and Kunatsu sat kneeling behind Masara, while Yoshinomaru, the youngest, stood guard outside the assembly hall.Dongxiang Ju has become the wife of the lord, so it is no longer convenient to attend the meeting as the clerk of the meeting. Instead, Tsuru, who also writes well in calligraphy, is the clerk and is responsible for recording the content of the meeting.Since it was the first time to attend such a meeting, the little girl seemed quite disturbed, with her head buried deep in her neck, almost like an ostrich hiding its head in the sand.

"Everyone," Zheng Liang said first after all the vassals had finished saluting, "I have decided to attack the tyrants to the west of my family."

"Wow..." As soon as Zhengliang's words came out, the retainers below were amazed and whispered to each other, but no one had any objections. After nearly a month of recuperation, the newly occupied territories of the former Taijiu family and the Changcang family have been completely digested, and the territories are in full swing. Steam it on.Moreover, the majesty of the head of the Luo family cannot be disputed, and everyone has fully adapted to Zhengliang's way of doing things.

"Look!" Zheng Liang pointed to a simulated sand table map made of soil on the right side of the meeting hall. This sand table map was made in detail by Zheng Liang based on the information collected by the investigators. The distribution of the situation, let Yinuo introduce the details first."

It was also the first time for all the retainers to see such a novel map, and they stretched their necks to look at it.

Hearing Zhengliang's order, Yinuo walked quickly to the map and sat down on his knees, and then began to introduce, "Everyone, please look, the small bamboo stick in the middle of the map is the location of our house, and the west of our house is from the left. To the right, on the left are the Higashiyama family, Hanoi family, and Guanmou family; in the middle is the Akasaka family, and on the coast of the Akasaka family are the pirates such as the Guaban family, the Manyue family, the Sugino family, and the Yuno family; It is the main family, the Dono family, the Shangcang family and the Tateishi family. On the border with the Shangcang family and the Tateishi family are various pirates headed by the Meiyi family. The Higashiyama family, the Hanoi family, and the Guanmu family on the left are fighting against The ever-expanding Akasaka family has formed an alliance. These two camps just fought a battle recently. The coalition forces that attempted to take advantage of the Akasaka family's efforts to drive away the invading pirates were attacked by the Akasaka family's generals and suffered a lot of damage. The pirates along the coast seem to have a good relationship with the Shangcang family. This is also an important reason why the Shangcang family has been suppressed by the Akasaka family but has not perished. The Dono family has launched several attacks on the Tachishi family in conjunction with the American Iraqi family. There are quite a few territories of the Tateishi family. The Akasaka family, the Kamakura family, the Dono family, and the Tateishi family all have hatred for each other, and it is difficult to unite in a short period of time, and the main family happens to be defeated one by one."

Zhengliang also made a detailed understanding of the situation of several companies.

In terms of geographical location, the location of the tyrants in the west is the poorest place in Dongmatsupo due to the fact that there are more hills and forests and less flat land. The population and stone heights are not large. Although the combined area of ​​the territory is twice that of Luo's family, the stone height is only about 4000 shi, and the population is only more than 2000.The location here is remote and poor at the same time, so it has basically been ignored and forgotten by the main tycoons in Dongmatsuura.But the strategic location here is very important. It directly borders the Luo family to the east, and directly to the heart of Tangjin through Tangchuan to the south, and to the southwest there are Mt. Takao, Mt. The mountains, through the mountain trails, can go directly to the Kishidake Mountain Castle, the old nest of Hato in the area of ​​​​Kishidake; to the west, it is the coastal area, where you can reach the Imari Bay and even the Hirado Matsuura area through waterways.More importantly, there are rich resources. The coast can dry salt and fish, and there are many medicinal materials on the mountains. There are high-quality porcelain clay in the mountains of Takao, Suwon, Wucha, Takayake, and Riyake. And sulfur, these are good things. Others will not use them, but Zheng Liang will use them. There are so many treasures there but they are not found, Zheng Liang can't help feeling itchy.In the end, after conquering this territory, the strategic depth of the Luo family will be much greater. Before other tyrants realize the strategic importance there, it will be safer and easier to defend.The Luo family could hide there secretly, waiting for the time to attack.

From the perspective of emotional hatred, Zheng Liang's target for this raid should be the Ishida family.The head of the Ishida family, Ishida Osamu, not only still occupies part of the territory of the original Taijiu family, but also recently jumped up and down everywhere to fan the flames, trying to form an encirclement circle for the Luo family.But since Bodo contacted Luo's family in a high-profile manner, the rest of the tyrants were very shrewd, and they calmed down one after another, pretending to be false to the Ishida family's proposal.But the interests of the family should be based on rationality and not too emotional, so Zheng Liang decided to let the Ishida family play around for a few more days, and first deal with the powerful west of the Luo family.

"Everyone, my plan is this. In mid-August, when all the tyrants are busy with the autumn harvest and cannot mobilize farmers and soldiers in time, I will first send a team to attack the three tyrants on the left and defeat them one by one; At the same time, attack the Akasaka family in the middle and destroy the Akasaka family in one fell swoop; in the end, concentrate forces to flatten the Uemakura family, Dono family, and Tateishi family.” After Yinuo’s introduction, Masara immediately stated the general plan of the strategy.

"Your Highness, mid-August is also the time when our family starts the autumn harvest. Sudden mobilization of troops may cause dissatisfaction and even turmoil among the local people," Togo Heiji said immediately.

Although the standing troops have made it clear that they can’t go back to their respective fields to harvest food for a long time off At home, there is enough food and clothing for the family), but according to the territorial law, they have four days of vacation every month, and now there is a war suddenly, they must have an idea.Moreover, for such a large-scale military operation, standing alone is not enough, which means that farmers and soldiers must be mobilized, which further aggravates the dissatisfaction of the local people. "The people who joined the territory after plowing, these people have no harvest this year and do not need to participate in the autumn harvest, organize these people to perform paid corvee, and assist the family members of the troops who participated in the operation to harvest food." Zheng Liang said, this will solve the problem The issue of the autumn harvest can also be used as a cover-up to relieve the people who have no grain harvest this year, and avoid instability due to the lack of harvest.

"Ah? Your Highness? This will consume a lot of food!" Togo Heiji exclaimed.

"It doesn't matter, the food will be replenished soon when it runs out. This time, the corvee remuneration will be directly deducted from the military food reserve," Zheng Liang said.The corvée organized this time is expected to consume hundreds of shi of food reserves, and Zheng Liang intends to strike with all his might.

"Then... that's the only way to go." Dongxiang Heiji thought for a while, but couldn't think of a better way, so he could only nod in agreement in the end.The rest of the retainers also agreed.

"Okay, since everyone has no objection, then I will officially issue the order now." Zheng Liang shouted, "Onishi Kuniji, Tsuda Hiromune, and Luo Shi Sasuke listen to the order."

The three people who heard the order straightened up immediately.

"The three of you lead your respective squadrons, and closely monitor and guard against the tyrants in the east. Once foreign enemies come, you don't need to wait for my order, and you can attack on your own. Sasuke, you have to make a good connection between the two squadrons. "Zhengliang ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness" the three bowed to accept the order.

"Sun Wulang, you continue to sweep Banwuwan according to the original plan, but you must pay attention to putting more pressure on the Tachishi family and the American Iraqi people so that they have no time to take care of other places. If necessary, you can pretend to attack them, but remember not to attack them. In the battle on land, the navy of our family is still very weak and cannot suffer too much loss."

"Yes, Your Highness, I guarantee that the navy will complete the task."

"Togo Heiji, you have to be in charge of the daily affairs of the territory and ensure the stability of the territory. Fortunately, you must do a good job in the dispatch of materials and ensure the supply of food and other materials. Wooden building is loyal, and you must pay attention to the deal with the Kamiya family , to deal with the other powerful diplomacy, causing them to mistakenly think that the family is carrying out the autumn harvest in peace."

"Yes, Your Highness." The three of them took orders at the same time.

"Chujiro, you temporarily draw 10 standing ashigaru from the second and third divisions respectively, and then recruit 100 farmers and soldiers from the people who don't need to harvest in autumn, plus the 10 samurai I dispatched to you , form a force of 130 people, step up training these few days, Masahide, please help Chujiro," Masara continued to order.

Chujiro and Luo Shizhengxiu bowed to lead the people.

"Shingoro", Zhengliang turned his head to look at the little surname Shingoro behind him.

"Your Highness" Shingoro didn't think that there was something about him this time, so he immediately bowed and saluted.

"Go back and discuss with your father Shinsaburo, and immediately organize a hunter team. On August [-]th, start from the pasture on the other side of Zhanggao Mountain along the coast of Lichuan, and open a secret road leading to the Dongshan family under Shigao Mountain. Pay attention Leave obvious marks along the way; on August [-]th, Chujiro will lead a temporary team to march along the marks you left and finally meet you. Be careful of the wild boars and wild wolves "Shingoro" in the process of opening the trail All of his family were hunters, and they were most familiar with walking in the forest, so they were the best candidates for this task.

"Yes, Your Highness." Shingoro was very excited. It seemed that he was not far away from being transferred to other positions in the family to take up specific duties.

"Hirazuo Masataka, during this period of time, you have arranged for some citizens to grab the grain near Yunoo Castle, and deliberately relaxed the patrol density there, so that other powerful detectives can see the situation of your family harvesting grain, causing your family to have already devoted themselves to the autumn harvest. Gu's illusion; after the battle begins, you and I, as the main generals who will confuse the forces of the Akasaka family, are in charge of the [-]th Ashgaru Division and are ready to go into battle at any time."

"Yes, Your Highness." Hirazuo Masata respectfully took the order. His task was the most difficult. At first, he tried to confuse the enemy, and then seized the opportunity to go into battle, which extremely tested his commanding ability.

"Yinuo, during this period of time, you have to closely monitor the movements of all the tyrants and report the latest situation in time; after the battle begins, you have to ensure the communication between the participating teams." Zheng Liang finally said.Yinuo bowed and accepted the order.

"Okay, after the specific tasks are arranged, let's discuss the situation of the armaments again," Zheng Liang said, "The Shenya family sent the third batch of supplies yesterday, plus the previous two batches of supplies, the family now has 150 complete sets of supplies." , 250 bows and tire bows, according to the distribution standards of the first two batches of materials, are given priority to the samurai participating in this battle and the standing ashigaru; the bow tire bows have already been distributed to all archers. During this time , each team should continue to strengthen the adaptation training for these weapons. Next, we will mainly discuss the issue of military rations.”

During the last siege of Zuo Zhi's house, Zheng Liang really experienced the pain of not having enough rations, and the troops almost retreated due to lack of rations.Of course, the problem now is not the lack of food, but how to carry enough food. After all, the roads are underdeveloped now, and it is okay in your own territory. It's just too much trouble to carry a lot of pots and pans.When marching in the mountains, in order to ensure mobility, it is best not to bring anything you can do without.
