Warring States Eagle

Amid the shouts of "surrender, don't kill", the soldiers of the Munakata family who were originally unwilling to fight head-on with the Luo family's army dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground to surrender.

In this ambush, Munakata's family governor Munakata, two important ministers Kurokawa Takasaka, Fukada Utotoshi, and some retainers, relatives and samurai were all killed. In addition, more than forty unlucky farmers and soldiers were killed in the melee.In the end, there were only more than 400 captives left.Moreover, many of the remaining captives were still injured.

"What should we do next?" After guarding all the captives and hastily cleaned the battlefield, the third standing Ashgaru team's chief general Akuta, military order Kawada Yoshiro, deputy Asakura Sodi, Shimabara Chun Mao, Fukuda Nobukiyo and others gathered together to discuss.

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that our original plan will have to be changed." Junme Fukukawada Yoshiro said in a deep voice.Although Kawada Yoshiro was only 17 years old at this time, he looked like a young man, but he followed Zhengliang to study for five years, and then he trained in the army for two years. At this time, he has become the third standing football player. The number one think tank of the Qingfan team.So his words immediately attracted the attention of the rest of the people.

"What do you mean? Don't pretend to be the reinforcements of the Munakata family and take the opportunity to attack Ishimaru Castle, Sakamoto Castle, and Xu Feishan Castle?" Shimabara Junshige immediately wondered.

"Yeah!" Kawada Yoshiro nodded, and then glanced at the crowd again before saying, "Now that we have accidentally killed the governor and important ministers of the Munakata family and intercepted their reinforcements, then our primary goal should be changed to Munakata's Hakusan Castle."

"Yes, as long as we pretend to be their people and bring some people they are willing to surrender to our team. We can deceive the gate of Baishi City." Asakura Zongdi also agreed immediately.

"It's just that those captives may not be willing to cooperate with us. If those people pretend to surrender and then shout when I'm about to enter the city, it will be dangerous." Fukuda Nobukiyo said worriedly.

"It's okay. Ordinary peasants and soldiers are very helpful in persuading them to surrender. The only obstacle is the Munakata family members and samurai among the captives. As long as there are these people among them, those peasants and soldiers will not dare to cooperate with us easily. In this case, Then we will distinguish all the samurai and clan members of the Munakata family, and then kill them all in front of those farmers and soldiers." Kawada Yoshiro said fiercely.Due to time constraints.As the saying goes, if there is a mistake in the killing, the captives who hindered the actions of the Luo family should be killed, and they just used their heads to stage a good show of killing chickens and monkeys for the remaining farmers and soldiers.

After hearing Kawada Yoshiro's suggestion, Asakura Sodi, who was sitting opposite Kawada Yoshiro, couldn't help but secretly nodded in his heart.It seems that the little surnames who came out of the lord Zhengliang are very powerful!Take Kawada Yoshiro in front of him as an example, he is brave and resourceful, and he is quite ruthless when necessary. He really is a handsome guy.

"Since that's the case, what should we do after we take down Baishi City?" At this time, Aguda, the main general, finally spoke.

"Master Commander, if we can take Baishi City smoothly, then I suggest concentrating our forces and pretending to be reinforcements to support Xu Feishan City to deceive the city gate there, and then join forces with the Lord's army on the other side to take Xu Feishan City together. .” Kawada Yoshiro immediately spoke out the plan in his heart.

"Are you worried about Qiuyue's family and Aso's family?" Asakura Sodi immediately asked in doubt.

"Yes, if we still divide into three groups and pretend to be city reinforcements to go to Ishimaru Castle, Banyuan Castle and Xufeishan Castle, then our troops will be weakened. Cooperate with us inside and outside, then our soldiers entering the city will be caught in a bitter fight and even become the enemy's shackles. Even if we can narrowly win in the end, our side will suffer a lot of damage. It is difficult to guess the Qiuyue family and Aso family troops who arrived later. Will there be any differences in the situation." Yoshiro Kawada explained.

"That's right." After Kawada Yoshiro said this, Asakura Sodi immediately came to his senses, "This time the main family entered the Higashichikuzen area, according to the agreement with the Akizuki family and the Aso family, all the territory of the Munakata family belongs to the main family. All of them, I think you can guess that even if they will not take the opportunity to occupy the territory of the Munakata family, they will have a perfunctory attitude towards helping the family to seize the Munakata family's fortress, and they will definitely not make any effort."

"Exactly, since this is the case, I think it's better to concentrate our troops to assist the lord to open Xu Feishan City, the gate to the east of Zongxiang's house, and after joining the lord's army, it's more appropriate for the lord to decide what to do next. "Kawada Yoshiro finally said.

"Very well, that's how we act. Yoshiro, you stay and write a letter to the lord for me, report to the lord about our situation at this time, and inform the lord of our plan, so that the lord will cooperate with us at that time. As for those captives, I will leave them to you." Aguda said to Kawada Yoshiro and Asakura Sodi successively.Then he yelled "beat, beat" to the sky a few times.

After a while, a big white bird flew down and landed on A Guda's shoulder. The eagle's beak glowing coldly rubbed against A Guda's ear, as if it was going to follow him. Aguda whispered the same.This one is exactly the "Xiaobai" of Haidongqing brought back from the Ming Dynasty by Aguda, and the other "Xiaohei" followed Zhengliang.

This time, the reason why everyone was able to walk out of the mountain forest area in the northern coastal area of ​​Zongxiang's house was that this sea dongqing led the way in the sky.After entering the hinterland of the Munakata family, they relied on "Little White" to share information with Zheng Liang outside, letting Zheng Liang know the situation inside the Munakata family's territory, and then make targeted deployments.It also let Aguda and others lurking inside keep abreast of the situation outside.

After so many years of breeding, this pair of mandarins has raised six young mantises. However, it will take a long time to train these little mantises to be as human as their parents and play the role of transmitting information. A period of domestication.After all, "Xiaohei" and "Xiaobai" were gradually domesticated into what they are now after following Aguda for nearly 20 years.

While Aguda and the others were racing against time to prepare for the next move, a dispute was going on in the mansion of the city lord in Xu Fei City.

"Father, if this continues, the family will only be buried with the Munakata family!" In the room.Zhanbu Shang'an's son Zhanbu Shangchi painstakingly advised his father.

"You bastard, the Zongxiang family's kindness to my family is as great as a mountain, how can my family turn their backs on the Zongxiang family at this time?" Zhanbu Shang'an yelled at his son-in-law.

"Hmph! You will never know who Luo Shi Zhengliang is." At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties and nearly 40 years old suddenly said.This person's sitting posture is a bit strange, it seems to be sitting cross-legged, but not kneeling like Zhanbu Shang'an and his son.He was Lu Cidaoxue (also known as Thor Tachibana Daoxue in history) who had come to win over Zhanbu Shang'an and his son as a lobbyist of the Luo family.

During this mission, Lu Cidaoxue did not convince his brother-in-law Zhanbu Shang'an, but instead persuaded his nephew Zhanbu Shangchi.It's just because Zhanbu Shang'an is still in charge.And the Luo family also happened to invade the territory of the Munakata family at this time, so Lu Cidaoxue was temporarily put under house arrest by the occupying department Shang'an.Because of their relatives, although Lu Cidaoxue was forbidden to contact the outside world, she was free in the residence of the Zhanbu family.Tonight, at the request of Zhanbu Shang'an's wife, Zhanbu Shang'an, Zhanbu Shangchi, and Lu Cidaoxue were supposed to sit together to mediate the conflict, but the three finally quarreled .

At this time, following Lu Cidaoxue's sudden interjection, Zhanbu Shang'an all looked at Lu Cidaoxue in unison.I saw the latter continue to speak: "When I was still at Dayou's house, I sent someone to inquire about the Luo family's governor. I found out that any wealthy family that had been against him. Even if they surrendered to him in the future, they would still be punished. Suppressed to varying degrees, as for the powerful clan that has always been his enemy, after being defeated, all the male members of his family will be hacked to death. It is almost exterminated..."

"Hmph, what do you mean? Are you cursing the family?" After hearing this, Zhanbu Shang'an immediately interrupted Lu Cidaoxue's words and scolded angrily.

"Then, Lord Shang An, please tell me, how can the hundreds of terrified guards in the city resist the Luo family's army of thousands outside the city?" Lu Cidaoxue asked sarcastically.

"Hmph, I have sent an envoy for help to the Zong family, and the Zong family's reinforcements will come to support them soon..."

"Hahaha..." Before Zhanbu Shangan finished speaking, he was stopped by Lu Cidaoxue's loud laughter.

"Master Shang'an, you underestimated the Hizen Eagle outside the city too much. The other party has not attacked the city with its absolute superiority in military strength. Don't you think it's strange, Lord Shang'an?" Is it? Judging from my experience in fighting this Hizen Eagle in the past, the opponent must have a conspiracy. Even if the reinforcements from the Munakata family arrive at that time, I am afraid it will be useless."

"It's alarmist. From my point of view, it's because you have been repeatedly defeated by the sneak attacking eagle, which caused fear of the other party?" Zhanbu Shang'an sarcastically said.

"Hmph. I'll definitely know in the future whether it's your scaremongering or not. It's just that I already knew that your stubbornness would lead my sister and nephew into the abyss, so I will agree to the Luo family's request and come to act as an envoy." Yes, it is for the lives of my sister, nephew and niece, if Master Shang An is so confident in holding on to this city, why not let me leave first with my sister, nephew and niece?"

"Hehe! Wishful thinking! Your Excellency is planning to seize the opportunity to control the wife and children who live in Xia, so as to threaten Xia Xiancheng to surrender?" Zhanbu Shang'an sneered and rejected Lu Cidaoxue's request.

"Hey! You have also seen that if you fail to make up your mind, Zhanbu's family will be destroyed by your father." Seeing that Zhanbu Shang'an was still stubborn, Lu Cidaoxue could only sigh.

"What are you doing? Taro, what do you mean by his words?" Zhanbu Shangan heard a hint of ominousness from Lu Cidaoxue's words, so he immediately questioned his son-in-law.

However, his son-in-law Zhanbu Shangchi looked at him steadily, his eyes seemed to be full of disappointment and hesitation, and then Zhanbu Shangchi's eyes turned cold, and he threw the wine glass on the desk next to him to the ground, With a sound of "bang dang", the wine bowl shattered.

"You?" Zhanbu Shang'an was immediately taken aback by his son's sudden move.But what surprised him even more was yet to come.The wooden partition of the room was pulled open with a "shua" from the outside, and then a few fully armed retainers walked in from the outside.

"Father, your decision this time has put the family in a desperate situation. Now please surrender the position of family governor and have a good rest at home. From now on, the family affairs will be taken care of by the son-in-law." His son Zhanbu Shangji At this time, he stood up and said to Zhanbu Shang'an who was stunned on the ground.

"You...you..." After Zhanbu Shang'an was shocked by the sudden change, he finally woke up at this moment, and immediately understood what happened to him.He never imagined that his son-in-law and retainers were persuaded by Lu Cidaoxue, and now they persecuted him in turn, and even forced him to give up the position of monk and let him live in seclusion in advance.

"Nizi! And you are all rebellious ministers!" Zhanbu Shang'an was immediately enraged, so he stood up with a "swish" and yelled at his son-in-law and his retainers.

"Master Family Governor, please give up the position of Family Governor, you are no longer suitable for such an important role." At this time, a leading retainer said.After speaking, he took a step forward and came behind Shangchi Zhanbu, expressing his support for Shangchi Zhanbu, and the other retainers followed suit.

"Come here, come here!" Zhanbu Shang'an still didn't give up at this time, and immediately shouted angrily.Trying to let the guards outside the courtyard come in and take down the people who forced him to abdicate.

Following his shout, two family guards walked in from outside the house.

"Take down these rebels for me." Zhanbu Shang'an pointed at his son-in-law Zhanbu Shangchi and others and shouted angrily.But to Zhanbu Shang'an's surprise, the two guards just lowered their heads in shame after hearing his order, but they didn't take any action.

"You...you..."

"Stop shouting, my lord father, when you were still commanding the army on the top of the city to resist the Luo family's attack, I have already reached an agreement with the whole family, my lord father, you still give up." Zhanbu Shang Zhi said suddenly.

"Ah?" Zhanbu Shang'an was taken aback, and immediately pulled out the sheath of the Taidao beside him with a "bang", and pointed the tip of the knife at Zhanbu Shangchi and the others.

Zhanbu Shangchi looked at Zhanbu Shang'an calmly, and did not draw his sword to face each other.So the two sides have been facing each other ever since.

"Okay, very good!" After confronting everyone in the room for a full quarter of an hour, Zhanbu Shang'an dropped the Taidao in his hand to the ground with a "bang", finally said the last sentence, and then collapsed directly on the floor.

Thus, a family change ended like this, and the Zhanbu family ushered in its new home supervisor, Zhanbu Shangchi. (To be continued..)
