Warring States Eagle

Tianwen 12th year (1543) January [-]th, evening.

The hustle and bustle of the day finally hid as dusk fell, and the hustle and bustle gradually dissipated.At this time, the council hall in Puchi City was brightly lit, and all the retainers of the Puchi family gathered together.

"My lord, the Shengjin Pavilion sent another distress letter today, and I hope that our family will send reinforcements to the Shengjin Pavilion as soon as possible." Yuanye Huiguo, a senior minister of the Puchi family, said respectfully.

"My lord, we should immediately send troops to support the Shengjin Pavilion. Otherwise, if the Shengjin Pavilion falls, Puchi City will be directly under the opponent's soldiers. Are we going to abandon our ancestral property and retreat to our own city, Liuchuan City?" The retainers below After hearing the words, without waiting for Puchi Jiansheng to speak, they immediately started to drink loudly.

Looking at these passionate retainers, Pu Chi Jiansheng couldn't help frowning.A pang of anger could not help but arise in my heart.Then he let out a quick sigh.This is the impact of the temporary inheritance of the family governor.

Since Pu Chi Jiansheng's father died on the battlefield last year, he hastily inherited the position of family governor. He originally planned to slowly establish prestige at home before taming this group of retainers, but he did not expect to encounter such a situation at this time. things.

Just when Puchi Jiansheng was frowning, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy at the end of the retainers.So immediately asked:

"Master Maru, how is the task I gave you today?"

The retainers didn't expect that the Patriarch would have the mind to ask other things at this time, so they immediately looked in the direction that the Patriarch was paying attention to.When everyone saw this young man, they all thought about it thoughtfully.

Under the gaze of everyone, the bald boy respectfully performed a retainer salute.Then he said respectfully: "My lord, follow your instructions. This subject has already led people to investigate ahead. He just came back and is preparing to report to your lord."

"Oh? Come on, what's the situation?" Puchi Jiansheng asked immediately.

"My lord, the other party has stationed a large army in Changyan City. I have observed outside the city for an afternoon and found many soldiers coming in and out of the city. And..."

"And what?" Puchi Jiansheng continued to ask.

"Besides, the villages near Changyan Castle have been burned down. I saw a large number of citizens being driven by the other party to the direction of Haijin Castle on the Chikugo River." The boy said quite calmly.

"My lord, what are you waiting for? Do you still want to watch our leaders being taken away by the other party?" Many retainers' territory is nothing more than a village. Now that the intruder even snatched away the villagers, that's really true. What made them nervous.

"Everyone, be quiet. From the information mentioned by the long mage pill, the other party came prepared this time. If we wait to act rashly, we may encounter the other party's conspiracy. Don't forget, the other party is coming. Known for being scheming." Yuan Ye Huiguo said at this time to stop the commotion of the crowd.

"Everyone retreat, I will issue an order as soon as possible. Huiguo stays." Although he didn't know why this important minister in his father's era helped him, Pu Chi Jiansheng took the opportunity to make all the retainers retreat.

After all the retainers retreated one after another.Puchi Jiansheng looked at Yuanye Huiguo who was sitting below and said, "Huiguo, you have followed my father for more than thirty years."

"Yes, my lord." Yuanye Huiguo didn't expect that the young patriarch's first words after leaving him behind would be such words.In fact, the reason why he suddenly said to help Puchi Jiansheng just now was because he could see from the Patriarch's arrangement today that the Patriarch didn't trust him.

Yes, Pu Chi Jiansheng would rather choose an outsider who came to the house not long ago to carry out such an important task, instead of telling them about these family retainers, obviously he didn't believe them.From this, Yuanye Huiguo saw the instability of the family. As a veteran who loyally served the Puchi family, this was absolutely not allowed to happen, so he took the initiative to help the head of the family to block the retainers below.

As for Puchi Jiansheng, he had another idea.The arrangement this time was indeed secretly arranged by him. He knew that no matter which retainer he sent to investigate, what he would finally return would be the information for him to send troops.So in desperation, he had no choice but to choose the boy who fled to his home.

Of course, under the current situation, as the head of the family, it is necessary to unite the strength of the family as soon as possible, so tonight he decided to first extend his goodwill to the old minister of the family, Yuanye Huiguo.

"Hui Guo, I intend to recruit Hui Jun as a sidekick, what do you think?"

Yuanye Huiguo was obviously taken aback when he heard this, and immediately thanked Puchi Jiansheng happily.Yuanye Huijun is his son, and now his son has finally become the patriarch's sidekick. This is officially on the road to become an important minister of the Puchi family, so it is impossible for Yuanye Huiguo to be unhappy.

So, in such an atmosphere, the two exchanged mutual opinions on the situation at home in a friendly manner.

Just when the two chief ministers of the Puchi family were having a secret meeting at home, the young man who reported the information to everyone in the hall just now arrived at the gate of Puchi City, and then rode on a pony to greet him. At sunset, he ran to the river outside the city.

This pony was a young man who defected to the Puchi family, and was given to him by the owner of the Puchi family himself.

The little pony came to the river with cheerful steps, and then the boy on the horse jumped off the horse very skillfully, and jumped directly onto a rock by the river.

Looking at the endlessly flowing Chikugo River under his feet, the boy suddenly yelled a few times, and then fixedly looked at the other side of the river.

"The opposite direction should be where the hometown is? Now the enemy has also been kicked out of Hizen, it's a pity that I didn't kill the enemy with my own hands!" The young man said to himself.

"Hmph, Changfushimaru? It's ridiculous. Almost everyone knows that I have held a coming-of-age ceremony in advance, and I was named Ryuzoji Takanobu, but why do everyone continue to call me by my baby name? Is it because I don't recognize my ability? ? Do you still regard me as a child? Hmph! From now on, I only believe in myself, and I will rely on myself to regain the territory of my ancestors."

The one who shouted by the river was Enyuefang who had escaped from Hizen.Not long ago, he lived carefree in the temple under the name of "Yuanyuefang".In the end, he was disturbed by several warriors covered in blood on a dark night.

These warriors claimed to be relative warriors of the Ryuzoji family.After the home was under siege.After receiving the Patriarch's order, he blazed a trail and finally arrived in front of Yuanyuefang.

So, that night, Yuanyuefang followed several samurai to Puchi's house in Chikuhou.And a few days later, he got the news that his entire family was destroyed by Shao Er's family.With the support of several relatives and warriors in the family, Yuanyuefang held a coming-of-age ceremony in advance, inherited the family governor of the Longzaosi family, and then changed its name to Longzaosi Yinxin.Later, in order to express the determination to re-prosper the Longzuosi clan.He changed his name to Ryuzoji Ryushin.

"Master Patriarch! Master Patriarch!" Just as Longxin Longxin was indignant, a clan warrior called out from behind him.

"What's the matter?" Ryuzoji Takanobu jumped back to the shore, and then quickly walked towards the rushing warrior.Generally, these family warriors would appear in front of Long Xin only when there was an emergency.

"My lord, the family's enemy..."

"What? What did you say?" Before the samurai could finish speaking, Long Xin became agitated when he heard the word "enemy".

"Ahem... Patriarch, please calm down!" Seeing that Patriarch was so excited, the warrior immediately comforted him.

Long Xin took a few deep breaths, and then said in a low voice: "Go on."

"Master Patriarch, Younger Dongshang has fled to Zhuhou. Now he is in the fortified city of the Master...Master Patriarch?" In the astonished expression of the samurai, Long Xin jumped onto the pony and ran towards Puchi City.

And at this moment in Puchi City.The obese but still a bit embarrassed Shaoer Dongshang was eating and drinking without any form.And Puchi Jiansheng persuaded him to drink.While persuading him to drink, he looked at the yard outside through the gap in the wooden door from the corner of his eye.I saw that several retainers had come one after another in the courtyard outside.

"As expected, it's okay, I'll let you listen to it too, so that you can give up." Pu Chi Jiansheng said in his heart.He also knew that the news that Shao Er Dong Shang had escaped to his home could not be kept secret, so he simply asked all the retainers to come and listen to Shao Er Dong Shang's description.In this way, both he and his retainers will have a clear understanding of the current situation in Hizen and Chikugo.

Yes, since the confrontation between the Ouchi family coalition forces and the Ouchi family coalition forces in Hizen more than ten days ago, Pu Chi Jiansheng has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Just [-] days ago, after receiving the news before, knowing that the situation on the side of the camp was very good, they suddenly received news from the defeated soldiers of the clan who had retreated from the battlefield, saying that Haijin City had been attacked.

Puchi Jiansheng, who didn't believe it at first, finally confirmed the fall of Haijin City on the second day, and the main formation of the Otomo family coalition forces behind Haijin City was also breached.Immediately afterwards, in the evening of that day, he received another urgent report from the branch of his family that Changyan City had fallen.The branch family was also forced to retreat to the city at the foot of the mountain, unable to hide, and even sent a messenger for help to the Zong family.

In an instant, the two hubs connecting the southeast and northwest of Chikugo, Haijin Castle and Changyan Castle, were lost.This made Kamichi Kammori suddenly lose the information about the Otomo family coalition forces still occupying the northwest of Chikugo.Not only that, but none of the scouts he sent to Hizen and the northwest direction of Chikugo returned.

Since then, Puchi Jiansheng has completely lost all news from the outside world.For this reason, he had to send a messenger along the Higo country behind Chikugo and then detour into the Bungzen country of Otomo's house to inquire about information.It's just that after going back and forth, it will take more than a month at the earliest to get the news.

But at this moment, the Luo family, who had taken over Haijin City and Changyan City with lightning speed, sent out troops again, and the soldiers pointed directly at Shengjinguan, the important border city of Puchi's family.Thus, there was a scene of a retainer inviting a battle this afternoon.

However, Puchi Jiansheng was really unwilling to take risks without getting enough information.Especially when he knew that his opponent was the "Hizon Eagle", he didn't dare to act rashly.Others may not know how powerful this person is, but he has been paying attention to this person.Puchi Jiansheng has an instinctive sense of crisis.

Just when Puchi Jiansheng was in a state of desperation because of the border incident, Dongshang, the second young man who had fled from Hizen, finally appeared.He is really a rescuer. (To be continued..)
