Warring States Eagle

After having lunch in the ancient city of Xu and leaving some farmers and soldiers to guard the ancient city of Xu, Zheng Liang led the army to embark on the journey again.

This time, the target is the Lujia Castle of the original Longzuo Temple family.

It was the third day after the flood, and on the second day after the flood receded, seeing Luo Shifan rushing in aggressively and the coalition soldiers in front surrendering one after another, Shaoer Dongshang decisively chose to escape.Under the protection of Shendai Shengli and others, he gathered soldiers while fleeing. When he returned to Lujiao City, he had gathered more than 300 soldiers.

Before Zhengliang led the army to set off again, he had already obtained this information from the detective of his family.But Zhengliang still decided to storm Lujiacheng.From Zheng Liang's point of view, although Shaoer Dongshang had gathered quite a few soldiers, these soldiers were all from different powerful families, they were just a mob, and they might not be able to obey orders during the war.This is the opportunity for the Luo family to capture Lujiao City.

With this purpose, the army marched all the way, and the villagers along the way came out to greet them one after another.The Shaoer family's plundering of Jianyin some time ago was already indignant. On the contrary, the Luo's family donated the grain obtained from the attack on the coalition grain transport team to these villagers, and gained an excellent reputation.Now that they heard that Luo's family had defeated the villain, all the villagers came out to welcome them.

The army moved forward unimpeded all the way, and arrived not far from Lujiao City in the afternoon.Lukari Castle was built in front of the Kase River at the junction of Ojo County and Saga County.Going north through Lujiao City, you can reach Xiaocheng City, Weifeng City, Qingqi City, Qianyi City, and Gannanbo City respectively. , Qianlan family, Jiangshang family, Oda family and some local small wealthy families occupy it.To the east and south through Lujia Castle, there are Shuijiang Castle, Zuojia Castle, Village City, Lianchi Castle, Mutian Castle, and Sefukuji Castle. These castles belong to Saga County and Kanzaki County. They are occupied by the Shoji family, the Oda family, the Baba family, the Yatsushiro family, the Yokotake family, the Honko family, and the Inuzuka family.

In the battle of Liujiaochuan, on the surface, the Shaoer family was defeated, but in fact, the biggest losses were the Oda family, the Baba family, the Yokoyake family, the Honko family, and the Inuzuka family. Not only did their family heads and important officials participate in this battle. They died or were captured during the battle, and the main warriors and soldiers in the family suffered heavy losses.That is why.Zheng Liangcai decided to capture Lujia City, opened the gate to Xiaocheng County, Saga County and even Kanzaki County, and took advantage of the heavy losses of these wealthy families to attack the city and plunder the land.As the saying goes, after passing this village, there will be no such shop, so don't seize such a good opportunity.It was wasted.Once these wealthy families recover.It's hard to say that they unite against the Luo family again, which is obviously what Zheng Liang doesn't want to see.

In line with the purpose of weakening the enemy is to strengthen oneself, Zheng Liang led the aggressive Luo family to the city of Lujiao.

However, there was only one person facing Luo Shifan.

Yes.When the army reached the gate, what Zheng Liang saw was Lujiao City with its gate wide open, and a thin figure standing alone not far from the gate.

"What's going on here? Is it going to be a one-on-one fight? Or is it going to deal with the entire Luo family alone?" Zheng Liang thought suspiciously.

"Your Highness, the other side asks to see Your Highness." At this time, a messenger from the vanguard came to report.

Those who were allowed to surrender were quickly brought before Zheng Liang.

The person who came was a young man.It looked like he was only fifteen or six years old, and he seemed to have injured his leg, so he was helped to come to Zhengliang.The moment he saw this young man, Zheng Liang couldn't help but secretly lamented the abnormality of this young man, who participated in the battle at such a young age.Of course, what he didn't realize was that he was only one or two years older than this boy, and he was actually one of the perverts.

"Xinyin met His Highness at Yuancheng Temple, a branch of Qianyi's family in Xiafeiqian." The young man saluted calmly.

Yuancheng Temple Xinyin?That's not in history.Is he a fierce general of one of the four heavenly kings of the Longzou Temple family?He was brave and outstanding in combat, and accompanied Longxin of Longzou Temple to various places. In 1584, when the allied forces with Shimadzu Arima fought in the Battle of Okitagan, they wore the same "bear skin armor" as the lord.After Ryuzoji Takanobu himself was killed in battle, Enjoji Shinyin died in battle as Ryukoshin's shadow warrior.and.Although the time of his birth has not been determined, it is generally believed that he was born in the 11th year of Tianwen (1542), but Shinyin of Yuancheng Temple, who is kneeling in front of Zhengliang, is already more than ten years old.

So at this moment, Zhengliang couldn't be sure that the person in front of him was Xinyin of Yuancheng Temple, one of the four heavenly kings of the Longzoo Temple family in history.

"Master Zaemon. On behalf of the guards in the castle, I will go out to offer the castle, and hope that Lord Zaemon can save everyone in the castle from death." Enjoji Shinyin pleaded.He actually knew Zhengliang's official position.This surprised Zheng Liang slightly.

"As long as you are willing to donate Lujiao City, I promise that you will never kill a single person in the city." Zheng Liangtong agreed.It is of course the best thing to be able to occupy the city without losing a single soldier.Of course, what Zhengliang didn't know was that he had already fallen for Yuancheng Temple Xinyin's scheme. In fact, in Lujiao City, there were only about twenty wounded soldiers who couldn't leave the city. An empty city with no guards.However, these wounded soldiers hid in the city, which made Zheng Liang suspect that there was an ambush in the city and dare not enter directly.

"Everyone in the castle will be grateful for Zaemon-sama's benevolence and righteousness." Seeing Masara's willingness to agree to his request, Enjoji Shinyin was very excited.

"Furthermore, Lord Zaemon, I have another piece of important information. As long as my lord promises to spare the Enjoji family, a tributary of the Senzui family, I am willing to dedicate this important information to my lord. Otherwise, I am willing to die." Seeing Zhengliang After the vanguard troops had been dispatched to enter Lujiao City, Yuancheng Temple Shinyin immediately said as soon as possible.The real purpose of his coming to Xiancheng alone this time is to save the Yuancheng Temple family.

"Oh? The Yuancheng Temple family should have settled near Qianlan City? And now our family is only within reach of Lujiao City. How can we let go of the theory of the Yuancheng Temple family?" Zheng Liang said indifferently.

"With Zaemon-sama's strength, it will be a matter of time before Hizen dominates. I also ask Zaemon-sama to be lenient to the main family when he is in the world." Enjoji Shinyin said immediately.

"Whether to be lenient or not depends on how the Yuancheng Temple family decides." Zheng Liang said with a slight smile.In my heart, I was completely surprised.Judging from the current performance, the young man in front of him showed a city mansion that was completely out of line with his age. Not only was he able to take the opportunity to make a request through Xiancheng, but more importantly, he actually saw the general trend of Hizen.Zheng Liang became more and more interested in the boy in front of him.

"I would like to go back and persuade my father to submit to Zaemon-sama." Enjoji Shinyin said hastily.As the successor of the next family governor, Yuancheng Temple Xinyin obviously has the qualifications to make the following promises to Zheng Liang.

"If the Yuancheng Temple family is willing to submit to our family, then I promise to forgive the Yuancheng Temple family's participation in the invasion of our family this time, and you, after the Yuancheng Temple family surrenders, will be my sidekick." Zheng Liang promised.

"Thank you Zaemon-sama." Enjoji Shinyin said.He knew that the other party made him his sidekick, not only to appease the Yuancheng Temple family, but also to make himself a hostage.But he, who had realized this for a long time, had no objection to it.

"Say, what important information is it?" Zheng Liang asked.Just now, Zheng Liang has learned from the soldiers who entered the city that the city is actually just an empty city.In fact, Zheng Liang was also wondering why Lujiao City, which was originally heavily guarded, suddenly became an empty city?Obviously, the defenders in the city had just retreated not long ago, otherwise their scouts would definitely come to report.

"Because I am the heir of the branch of the Qianyi family, I was fortunate to receive an important news. The Ouchi family officially entered the battle from Zhuqian this morning and came to Feiqian. After receiving the news, the Shaoer family and other tycoons immediately abandoned this city. Leading the remnant soldiers back to the territory to help, leaving only me to wait for these wounded soldiers to guard the city." Yuancheng Temple Xinyin said extremely angrily.

What?The Ouchi family sent troops?Leaving out in the morning and coming out in the evening, but it was only after the Luo family defeated the coalition forces of the Shaoer family that they came out.The hidden meaning is memorable.Obviously, after receiving the news that Ouchi's family was joining Hizen, Shaoer Dongshang had no choice but to return. The territory of Kanzaki County is the foundation of Shaoer's family.And even if Shao Erdong is still unwilling to retreat, the rest of the tycoons can't sit still.This time, those who fled to Lujiao City with Shaoer Dongshang were Shendai Shengli, Qianyi Xiyin, and Zhuzi Weimen. There were only two roads from Zhuqian to Dongfeiqian, one was through Jixun County, and the other was through Beizheng. Yamashiro Kanzaki County, but the territory along these two roads is the territory of the Jindai family and the Chikushi family respectively. After hearing the news that the Ouchi family has joined the battle, the two people who are most nervous are the Jindai victory and the Chikushi Yumon. .

In fact, Shaoer Dongshang's tension was not much less than the above two.Shaoer Dongshang's father was forced to death by the Ouchi family, and he was also exiled to Chikugo. If it hadn't been for the recapture of Kanzaki County with the support of many important ministers, he would not be as young as he is today ri.It's a pity that the Raiders Luo's family was defeated by the Luo's family when they had a good situation this time. As the Ouchi family who still controlled Hizen in name, they certainly wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. What is the purpose of the inner family's appearance?It also made Shaoer Dongshang suspicious.

So after some discussion, Shaoer Dongshang and others decisively chose to retreat, leaving only some old and weak remnants to stick to Lujiao City, in order to achieve the purpose of blocking the speed of Luo Shifan's pursuit, and then fled in despair.Unfortunately, Yuancheng Temple Xinyin, who suffered a thigh injury and was unable to move, became a general who was ordered to stay behind, and was responsible for acting as a scapegoat to slow down Luo Shifan's progress.

Yuancheng Temple Xinyin, who was tragically abandoned by his family, finally sacrificed the city, and surrendered to the Luo family on the condition of protecting the family, and even revealed the shocking news that the Ouchi family officially entered the battle.
