Warring States Eagle

In Gaozuka City, Chief Chichi strode up to the enemy building next to the gate. After reaching the highest point of the enemy building, he raised his eyes and looked out of the city.

Being attacked by surprise for several days in a row has already put him in a bad mood.If this continues, not only will the morale of the guards in the city be affected, but his family will also be affected.Especially in this critical period when the two families of the main family governor and the heir are fighting openly and secretly, he doesn't want to be found any excuse to take the opportunity to suppress his family.

Although the Chichi family has a long history, they are just a small wealthy family that no one pays attention to. In the years after the Juchi family took control of Nanfei, they were not even counted as landowners, but just managers of dozens of tenant farmers.In such a chaotic era, the Chichi family struggled hard. Although there were no outstanding figures to make the family stand out, the family business was steadily expanding through the hard work of several generations. As a general of Sagara, he gained 300 shi of knowledge.With the passage of time, many families have prospered and declined, and even disappeared in the long river of history, as if they had never appeared before. Compared with them, the Chichi family seems to be lucky again!

Changren Chichi is a conscientious but contented person. He has no dissatisfaction with his territory and property!For this purpose, he is cautious and down-to-earth. The reason why Sagara Yoshiji appointed him as the general of Takatsuka Castle was based on his understanding of this point.On this front, the first thing the Sagara family has to do is to stabilize the situation on the Yatsushiro Plain.

However, even if he doesn't look for trouble himself, things may not come to you on his own initiative.What's more, in such a chaotic era!The attacks of the past few days really made him very angry. [

What worries Akaike Changren the most is that.His family's 300 shi territory is near Gaozuka City.As the head of the family, he couldn't help worrying about these things.Now many people are worried that there will be a big war.And once a war breaks out here, his territory will definitely be affected.Even if his territory becomes the main battlefield, or if the war lasts too long, then his territory's harvest this year may be ruined!

Just when Akachi Changren was worried, a samurai walked up the enemy building quickly and came to Akachi Changren's side.

"My lord, I found it!" The samurai reported.

"Found it? Tell me, who is it?" Chichi Changren asked immediately.Since always being attacked by surprise.He had already arranged for detectives to track the enemy secretly outside the city.Looks like today is finally paying off.

"The villain followed these people with two people, and found that they had entered the nearby Daode Temple."

"Sure enough, these damned bald donkeys! It seems that they have colluded with outsiders! No, they must have colluded with some wealthy families in Xiayicheng County." Chichi Changren said angrily while pacing back and forth.

In the end, he suddenly stood where he was supposed to be, as if he had decided on something, turned around and said to the warrior behind him, "When will the Lord's reinforcements arrive in this city?"

"Report to my lord, we will arrive tomorrow. The leader is Maruki Yorimi-sama."

"Well, since Mrs. Lai Mei, then there will be no problem." Chief Chi Chi also nodded after hearing this.

"In addition, according to the order of the lord, Sagara from the nearby ancient city will also send troops to support the city at any time." The samurai continued to report.In fact the samurai felt a little puzzled at the moment.It seems that the city lord in front of these news already knew about it?Why did you suddenly ask again?

"Okay, send an order, assemble immediately!" Chief Chichi finally gave the order after fully confirming the information in his heart.

Changren Chichi planned to take the initiative to clear all the suspected temples nearby.At this time, the prestige and strength of the Ichimuzong in Higo are far from that of the Ichimuzong in Kyoto, Kaga, Ise and other areas, so Akaike Changren is not worried at all that he will fall into the quagmire with the Ichimuzong. middle.

Under the order of Akaike Changren, Takatsuka Castle quickly assembled a team of 200 troops.

"Target, Moral Temple!"

After finishing speaking, Changren Chichi jumped on his horse and led the army to gallop towards the Daode Temple.

In the Daode Temple, the monks and soldiers responsible for staying here are basically four types of people, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. Now anyone who can fight has gone to Xiayicheng County to get credit for it. Who will stay here.Otherwise, the heavy responsibility of guarding the monastery would not fall to them no matter what.Rather than saying that they are monk soldiers, it is more appropriate to call them monks.

Now the rich families in Xiayicheng County are fighting over several villages and a newly discovered silver mine, and they belong to the territory of Yatsushiro County, so they really have no enemies.That being the case, there is nothing to be afraid of, so the monks in the moral temple were unaware of the upcoming danger.At this moment they are gathering in the main hall, having the last supper.The entire temple was guarded by one person.

But when they were enjoying their meal, a person suddenly ran outside the door of the main hall and shouted: "The big thing is not good, there is a large army coming here!"

"What? Why did they kill and rush here?" Someone asked immediately.Although they have done a lot of bad things in the past, they have been very quiet recently, almost hiding in the temple and not going out. [

"Could it be caused by those mysterious people who temporarily settled down in this temple?" Someone suddenly said at this time.

"Go and call them out!" So several people ran to the backyard immediately.But soon they all ran back again.

"It's not good. Someone saw those mysterious people go out from the gate just now."

"What?" There was a sudden exclamation in the temple.

Just as everyone in the temple was panicking, the army led by Changren Chichi had already arrived.

"Set fire to the temple!"

After seeing that the gate of the Daode Temple was closed, Chichi Changren immediately ordered.He didn't bother to lead his troops to rush in.He hated these monks very much.Three years ago, it was the monks in the nearby temple who incited the riots in his territory, which caused him heavy losses.If it hadn't been for the lord Xiangliang Yoshiko to form an alliance with these monks later, he would have led people to burn down these temples.

Now, as the lord of the country who supports the Ichiko clan, Yoshiki Sagara has lost power, and the new father and son Sagara Haruhiro and Uemura Yoshiki have not made it clear that they will continue to be friendly with the Ichiko clan.What's more, the main force of Yixiangzong has recently gone to Xiayicheng County to grab the territory, and this time he has obtained conclusive evidence of invading his family. Naturally, Changren Chichi will not let go of the opportunity to deal with these monks.

So under the order of Chichi Changren, the ancient moral temple has been passed down for more than 150 years, but in the end it still failed to escape the fate of being burned.

Accompanied by the raging fire and the cries of dying monks crying for help, Changren Chichi led [-] troops away from the fire and went straight to another temple. (to be continued...)
