Warring States Eagle

"My lord, I have evacuated our army from the battlefield according to your order. At this moment, Ichimomune's army is chasing the defeated Sagara's army." At this time, a person who had been standing behind Sagara Weiqing reported directly to Kai.

This person is Masanobu Kosaka who studied with Masara for two years.This time he is in charge of leading a part of the Ashgaru of the Luo family's seventh permanent ashigaru team to join Sagara Weiqing's army, and is responsible for directing Sagara Weiqing to perform tasks according to Kai's orders.

As soon as Kosaka Masanobu said this, the retainers of the Sagara family, including Akaike Changren, Maruki Yorimi, Sagara Weiqing, who were present at the scene, felt overshadowed.Anyone who hears that their own soldiers have suffered such an end will not feel good.

"My lord, are we going to let Yi Xiangzong's army continue to advance like this?" After a short pause, Kosaka Masanobu expressed his doubts.In his opinion, Yi Xiangzong should be eradicated while taking advantage of the scuffle.

"The lord of Zong there has always made his own arrangements, so we don't need to worry about it." Kai replied indifferently.

Masanobu Kosaka realized immediately when he heard the words.It seems that the lord Zhengliang also has arrangements in Yixiangzong.

"You two, please surrender as soon as possible." After answering Kosaka Masanobu's question, Kai turned his head and said to Akaike Changren, Marugi Yorimi and others who were still stubbornly resisting.

"Hmph, although I was defeated by Your Excellency again, it is impossible for me to surrender." Chief Chichi said forcefully.

"Hey! Don't you two have to force me to order you to be shot and killed? Don't you two worry about the safety of your family at this moment? You must know that if you cooperate actively and surrender to your family, then you will have enough time to come Arrange it calmly, so as to ensure the safety of your family members?" Kai said directly shaking his head.

"Is Your Excellency too confident? Even if I wait for the two to lose to Your Excellency again. But as long as the Takatsuka Castle of our family is still there, you will never dare to take a step higher than the Takatsuka Castle." Maraki Raimi said in a low voice.

"Come here, bring the things up." Jia Fei shook his head again when he heard the words, as if he didn't bother to waste any more words, so he ordered immediately.

Soon, an ashigaru standing equipment brought up a wooden box.

After Kai took the wooden box directly, he opened it directly in front of Maruki Yorimi, Akaike Changren and others.

"Ah? Liulang?" Chichi Changren exclaimed the moment the wooden box was opened.What was contained in the wooden box was the head of Rokuro, the guard who was in charge of guarding Takatsuka Castle.

"No... Impossible. How is this possible!" Chi Chi Chang Ren tremblingly said to himself.Before leaving, he had repeatedly told Liu Lang not to open the city gate easily, but why is the head now in the hands of Jia Fei?

"Everyone, I am ashamed of Sagara's family!" At this time, Sagara Weiqing, who had been silent since coming here, suddenly said in shame.

"Ah? You? You? So it's you!" After hearing what Sagara Weiqing said, Akaike Changren immediately came to his senses.

yes!If Sagara deceived Qing, the traitor, into opening the gate of Takatsuka Castle under the banner of reinforcements, and Rokuro fought back desperately, Rokuro's head would naturally fall into the opponent's hands.

"Has Takatsuka Castle already fallen into your hands?" Compared to Akaike Changren's shock, Maruki Yorimi was much calmer at this time.

"That's right, Takatsuka Castle is under our control at this time." Kai nodded and admitted. "You two, when will you wait if you don't surrender now?"

In the face of Kai's straightforward persuasion again.Maruki Yorimi did not reply immediately, but continued to ask: "Could it be that Your Excellency intends to let the cruel Ichimomune pass through Takatsuka Castle calmly, and then enter the hinterland of the Sagara family to kill the common people there?"

Jia Fei immediately smiled in his heart when he heard the words. A lord of a wealthy family who only cared about his own interests actually talked about how to love the people in front of him?This is simply unbelievable.In fact, before he returned to Higo country, he had already learned from Zhengliang the strategy of the Luo family's strategy in Nanfeihou.

Zhengliang intends to use Yixiangzong to reshuffle the local forces after Nanfei.For this reason, he had already secretly formed an alliance with Yixiangzong. Not only did he provide a large amount of money and food to Yixiangzong, but he even sent an envoy to Yixiangzong on this condition, and was responsible for negotiating with Yixiangzong about the strategy of attacking Nanfeiqian.

And the biggest task of this envoy is to guide Yi Xiangzong's army to point the finger at those local wealthy families and land leaders, and use Yi Xiangzong's hand to eradicate these, even if they cannot be eradicated, their power will be greatly weakened.

Although the Yixiangzong people may not be fools, but they are attracted by the large amount of money and food in the rich family and the land warehouses, it is difficult for them not to be hooked. Moreover, during this period, the Luo family will continue to provide them with money and food. It is to march as far as possible according to the marching route of the envoys of the Luo family.This kind of errand that can grab money and food, get paid, and even eventually turn the local area into the sphere of influence of the Ichigoji sect, has been dazzled by the victory and the idea of ​​​​establishing such great achievements as Honganji Renji. Will naturally not refuse.

Besides, as long as it is a war, there will inevitably be casualties, especially those innocent people, so after hearing Marumi Yorimi's questioning, Kai said indifferently: "Your Excellency, this is a war after all, and casualties are inevitable. What's more, I'm just a servant of my lord, and I can't do anything about it. If you really care about those common people, then please surrender to my family now, and wait until you become a vassal of my family, and then plead with my lord in person .”

Maruki Yorimi was taken aback when he heard the words, obviously he also felt that what Kai said directly was correct.After a long time, he spoke again and said:

"My lord, even if I want to surrender to you, I'm afraid it won't work!"

"Your Excellency is worried about the family members under Renyoshi Castle and the legitimate son who was taken hostage and placed under house arrest in Renyoshi Castle?" Kai said directly.

As soon as Kai said this directly, Marugi Yorimi and Akaike Changren looked at him in surprise at the same time.The direct relatives of the two of them were indeed temporarily under house arrest by Uemura Laixing in Hitoyoshi Castle on the Kuma Plain.

After feeling the surprise of the two, Kai continued to say in a calm manner: "Please don't worry, my family has already made arrangements for the family members of the two families and the family members of Xiangliang's family. At the time of this conversation, Hitoyoshi Castle has already been captured by an army led by Sagara Jiyori who defected to the clan."

"Sagara Harumi?" Maruki Yorimi and Akaike Changren exclaimed in unison.Before that, they had heard the rumor that Yoshiko Hara, the governor of the original family, had suspected that Sagara Ji Lai was plotting to rebel, but they did not expect that the rumor turned out to be true.

"If this is the case, the family is really in turmoil!" Marugi Yorimi and Akaike Changren thought at the same time. (To be continued..)
