Warring States Eagle

In August, although the typhoon still blows and rains from time to time, there is already a hint of autumn in the air.All the tyrants are also devoted to the tense autumn harvest, even the territory of the Luo family is no exception.The entire autumn harvest time lasts from mid-August to mid-September, nearly a month.At this time, the powerful troops of each family will return to their own fields to be busy, so the powerful will generally have a tacit understanding not to attack each other.

But secretly, the Luo family was fully prepared for war.On the morning of August [-]th, the war named "Autumn Wind Strike" by Zhengliang (meaning that the battle will be like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, easily defeating the enemy) officially began.On this day, Masara, who had been waiting in Yunoo Castle for a long time, received a report from the detectives who had infiltrated the territory of the Higashiyama family. The team led by Chujiro and Shingoro arrived near the Higashiyama family along the temporary trail along the coast of Lichuan. After resting, preparations for the raid have been made.

The battle took the lead from the side of Yuno City.Masahide Roshi was left to lead 20 standing ashigaru of the fourth division to stay in Yunoo Castle. Masara and Hirasa Masatada led 40 cloaks, 20 low-level samurai, 30 standing ashigaru of the first division, 30 The 50th division always had ashigaru, and [-] temporarily recruited farmers and soldiers marched towards the Akasaka family's main city, Mizuiwa Castle.The team marched to a valley and quickly divided into two teams. One team led by Masara continued to advance with great fanfare, and was responsible for attracting and confusing opponents; Waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack secretly.

The patriarch of the Akasaka family in Water Rock City, Akasaka Tokata, was stunned for a moment when he received the news of the invasion of the Luo family, and then he looked up to the sky and shouted: You can't bully people like this, isn't it that you can't attack each other during the autumn harvest?How can this be?

In fact, Akasaka Tokada has been really busy recently. First, he was attacked by the Higashiyama, Kawachi, and Guanmou family rogues while driving away the pirates who invaded the Akasaka family's territory. Fortunately, he turned defeat into victory in the end, but his strength was not small.

Then, it took a lot of effort to drive those hateful pirates out, but the territory was messed up by the pirates, and the citizens were also full of complaints.

Finally, there have been rumors in the territory that the Shangkura family will join forces with the pirates to invade again, and the news is so clear that it makes people dubious. Just in case, Akasaka Tokada transferred half of the standing troops in the city to close to the upper warehouse. Wanheli City, another branch of the family, also sent an envoy to the Shangcang family to question.

The rumors were spread by the detectives of the Luo family. Of course, the Shangcang family would not admit it. Instead, they cursed the Akasaka family as pigheads. Who would yell everywhere when they invaded others?After receiving the reply from the Shangkura family, Akasaka Tokada was furious, "Ri, you are an ancestor, the last time you jointly sent troops to the Dono family, your old man Shangkura Xiye deliberately held back, waiting for the Akasaka family to be the vanguard." , your Shangcang family picked up the bargain in the back, this matter has not been settled with you yet, and now you are so arrogant, so a big letter was sent to the Shangcang family, and the letter greeted the ancestors of the Shangcang family and Family members, Uemakura Yuino was so angry that his seven orifices smoked after seeing the letter, and vowed to destroy the Akasaka family. Of course, at the same time, he did not forget to greet the ancestors and family members of the Akasaka family.In this way, the two families have been fighting with each other recently.

Complaints are complaints, but the enemy still needs to find a way to deal with it. The problem is that there are only more than 30 people in Shuiyan City, including all the samurai and ashigaru, but the Luo family has hundreds of people. Stick to it.So Akasaka Tokada was a bachelor. On the one hand, he integrated all the people in the city to prepare to defend the city, on the other hand, he sent people to the towns outside to mobilize farmers and soldiers, and even went to the sub-city Wangari Castle to ask his son to send people to help.However, Akasaka Tokada waited from morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, looking forward to the stars and the moon. Except for the peasants and soldiers from a few castle towns who responded to the call to help defend the castle, they neither waited for their own peasants and soldiers from the brigade, nor did they wait. The strength of the Luo family.

With the return of a You Fan, he realized the fact that after the Luo family entered their territory, they did not go straight to the city, but instead rushed to the farmland where grain was being harvested.

Zhengliang is very busy now, really.After entering the territory of the Akasaka family, he never considered attacking the opponent's home city by force. It would be too time-consuming and the loss would certainly be huge, so Masaragi was luring or forcing the opponent to take the initiative to fight.Now the other party has a vital vein, which is food.The field to the east of the Akasaka family has been messed up by the pirates who invaded last time (in fact, these pirates were indeed instigated by the Uemakura family to weaken the Akasaka family, but now it is cheaper for the Luo family), and a bad harvest is inevitable up.Now Zheng Liang does not intend to follow the example of the pirates and destroy the fields, but he is planning to be a porter, driving the farmers in the other party's territory to harvest grain, and then transport it to Yunoo Castle.

The farmers who were harvesting grain, whether they were the farmers brought by the Luo family or the farmers of the Akasaka family, were also very excited now.The grown-up just said that all the harvested food belongs to them, and they will give as much as they can harvest.As for the farmers of the Akasaka family, as long as they are willing to relocate to the territory of the Luo family immediately, the grain they harvest will belong to them.Most of the farmers chose to move to the Luo family. Not only would they not have a single grain of grain left here, but they would also be exploited by the lord afterwards. They would not be able to survive this winter. Now the lord has given him a way out and guaranteed his After the territory, there is farming, and as long as you are willing to work, you will have food. Is it worth thinking about such a good condition?Therefore, in the town where the Luo family's soldiers passed by, the whole family of farmers was mobilized to harvest the grain frantically, and then arrange their belongings in preparation for the big relocation.

Of course, there will always be some farmers who are skeptical or unable to leave their homeland. For these people, Masaragi did not stop them from joining the ranks of harvesting. The family will definitely snatch food from the farmers who stay here, and it is estimated that the food left to them will not be able to survive this winter.

In fact, Zhengliang provided these farmers with two multiple-choice questions that they had to choose.First of all, wherever they went, they advertised that the Luo family would harvest the grain in the field, and told those farmers that they could also harvest together. If they didn't come out to harvest, the Luo family would take away all the grain.Do these farmers hiding in the town have any choice? After seeing a few farmers and soldiers from the Luo family really start harvesting, they immediately joined the ranks of harvesting.

Secondly, all the grain harvested by the farmers of the Akasaka family cannot be taken home, or else they will be taken home and hidden, so Masara will have nothing to do, can't he be caught in the people's war?Those who are willing to relocate to the territory of the Luo family, after returning home to pack their luggage, can come here to collect the grain they have harvested, and then set off directly; those who are unwilling to leave, the Luo family will take half of the grain, and the rest can be taken home.If they are not willing to cooperate, let them take a good look at the fully armed Luo family's troops, and then they will cooperate obediently.Under such circumstances, and thinking about the situation when the Akasaka family came to collect taxes, all the farmers with a little brain chose to relocate to the Luo family.From then on, the samurai and the standing ashigaru team maintained their battle formation. Every time they went to a place, Zhengliang arranged for several farmers and soldiers to go down to publicize, and then began to harvest food.That's right, the peasants and soldiers who followed this time did not participate in the war, but the propaganda soldiers and the transport brigade.

People have a herd mentality, some people start to move, and the people behind will follow automatically; when one town starts to move, the nearby towns will also start to follow; when most people decide to move, the rest will follow. follow.As a result, wherever the Luo family's soldiers passed, a unique scene was formed, that is, the whole people were harvested.This also achieved the ultimate goal of Zhengliang's premeditation, making it impossible for the Akasaka family to effectively mobilize farmers and soldiers.If the grain is not harvested, it will be someone else's, so if you have time to defend the city with you.

Does Zheng Liang really intend to move all these farmers to the territory of the Luo family?No.If things go well, when the battle here is over, the farmers who set off first will probably have just arrived at Yunoo City, and some farmers are even scrambling for grain.As long as the Akasaka family is destroyed, they can return to their homeland.Of course, the sequelae of doing so are also very serious. In such a chaotic situation, some of their own food will inevitably be harvested by others. When these farmers become the leaders of the Luo family and return to their homeland, they must be dissatisfied. You have to pay for these problems.However, farmers in this era are the best to get along with. The main thing is to let them not be hungry, and they will cooperate obediently. Zheng Liang firmly believes that with the implementation of territorial laws and even great relief and compensation when necessary, these people will soon be stable. down.For this reason, Zhengliang has prepared a reserve that consumes most of the territory's grain reserves.

On a hill a mile away from Shuiyan City, Zhengliang looked at the castle tower of Shuiyan City from a distance, and smiled slightly, "I have already made the move, Akasaka Tokada, how do you dismantle the move?"

"Damn Luo's family", there was a bang, and the sound of porcelain bowls breaking in the castle tower, the maids outside hid far away, for fear that the lord would be unhappy and take it out on him, "Are you forcing me to fight?" Akasaka Tokada shouted while looking at the mountains and forests in the distance.

Now Akasaka Tokada is caught in a dilemma. Going out to fight, such a small number of people really don't have the capital to confront head-on; not going to fight?Then it means that there is almost no harvest in the territory this year. In order to stabilize the territory, all the food reserves must be taken out to ensure that the people in the territory will not starve to death on a large scale.As for the purchase of food, there is no need to think about it. Now even the only access to the Banwu Bay that was available in the past has been lost with the feud with the Tateishi family.So once the food reserves are exhausted, the Akasaka family will be in crisis.What's more, would the tyrants around him miss such an opportunity?Akasaka Tokada can be sure that as long as the surrounding tyrants learn about the situation of the Akasaka family, they will definitely send troops immediately and continue to cultivate, but they will not be able to organize it.At that time, the Akasaka family will perish by themselves without the need for other powerful forces to attack.

"My lord, my lord." Just as Akasaka Tokada was distressed, a samurai rushed in, "My lord, the young master has sent a team to support, and it is expected to arrive here in half an hour."

"That's great, God bless the Akasaka family." After hearing this, Akasaka Tokada let out a long cry, "Hurry up, gather people, and let's go to meet them."

Akasaka Tokada is not a fool either, the opponent's invasion so quickly is obviously premeditated, it is hard to predict whether the opponent will sneak attack the team that came to support.

"Luo's family, wait, I will come to make a deal in person," Akasaka Tokada thought as he walked down the castle tower.
