Warring States Eagle

In the early morning, when the fog cleared, a fire that suddenly appeared last night was finally extinguished. At this time, everyone could fully see the damage caused by the fire.It can be said that almost all the houses near the fire point were burned, and most of the houses were even burned into a pile of charcoal, and the materials in the houses were naturally wiped out.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yuiki Saeki, who hadn't slept all night last night and his eyes were red, was looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him with a livid face.This is the warehouse area where the food is stored in the city. A fire almost burned most of the stored food. We only rely on the remaining food that has not been burned, not to mention the daily consumption to support the coming reinforcements of the Shimadzu family and the Ito family. , Even the daily consumption of my family, I don't know if it can last for a month.

As for growing grain to support the ongoing spring plowing of the territory, it was even more impossible.In this way, regardless of whether they can repel the invasion of the Roche family this time, it will be a heavy blow to the Saeki family.It doesn't even need the Roche family's invasion, the Saeki family will self-destruct because of it.

"It seems that we need to seek food and other supplies from the Ito family and the Shimadzu family again=top=point=novel=." Thinking of this, Saeki Yoshiyoshi couldn't help thinking bitterly in his heart.

In fact, Yoshio Saeki is very clear about the status of the Saeki family in the eyes of the Ito family and the Shimadzu family. To put it bluntly, the Saeki family is their barrier against the Roche family, and it is also their main battlefield against the Roche family. .As long as the Luo family's attention is drawn to the Saeki family's territory, it is possible to avoid spreading the flames of war to their territory, thus greatly reducing the losses in the conflict with the Luo family.The Shimadzu family and the Ito family.Especially the Ito family, based their pain on the Saeki family.This is also the main reason why these two families are so active in sending reinforcements to help the war.

To say that the Saeki family has no complaints about this.That is impossible.But the so-called cannibalism has a soft mouth and short hands.Under the continuous harassment and invasion of the Luo family, the Saeki family's family property has long been hollowed out, so the Saeki family can only kneel down and ask for help from the Ito family and the Shimadzu family, in exchange for the survival of the Saeki family at the price of becoming a pawn in the opponent's hand support.

Not only that, but in order to gain the support of these two families, Saiki Yoshitomo even sent his son Saeki Yoshinobu and grandson Saeki Yoshisada to Matsuo Castle in the northern part of Hinata Country.On the one hand, it is to be a hostage to the two families for help this time, and on the other hand, it is just in case, to ensure the safety of the back road for the Saiki family, and at the same time to leave some blood for the Saiki family.

"It's just that the fire this time must be a conspiracy!" After complaining a little in his heart about the shamelessness of the Ito family and the Shimadzu family.Saeki Yoshiyo immediately thought again.

The other party is obviously very familiar with the situation of Saeki's family. You must know that in the past, it was to avoid the situation where all the food reserves were burned all at once, so Saeki Yoshio has always stored the grain separately in different places in the city.The reason why all the food was stored together this time was entirely because the reinforcements from the Ito family and the Shimadzu family were coming, and the city needed to provide a place for their reinforcements to stay and store supplies. Out of place.As a result, the warehouse there was set on fire on the night when all the food was gathered together.

What is even more infuriating is that it just rained during the day yesterday.There are certain difficulties in arson in such weather.However, the arsonists had obviously made preparations a long time ago, and they must have secretly stored enough kerosene and other materials in the city to make the fire ignite.To be able to make such full preparations so calmly and be so familiar with the situation of the Saeki family, there is only one possibility.That is, there is meticulous work in the city.As for the backing behind Xi Zuo, without thinking about it, it must be the Luo family.

"Damn!" Thinking of this.Saeki Yoshiyoshi couldn't help snorting angrily.

"My lord, we just captured a suspicious person." At this moment.The vassal Yashiro came to report cautiously.Now everyone knows that the protagonist Yoshikazu Saeki is in a fit of anger, if it is not because of being the person in charge of warehouse protection.It is very likely that the lord will be angered by the dereliction of duty last night, and Yashiro will not come to the lord to suffer at this time.

"what?"

Just as Yashiro expected, Saeki Yuikao, who was in a rage, was really going to scold Yashiro when he saw Yashiro, but after hearing the meaning of Yashiro's words clearly, he was slightly taken aback , and then continued, "Hurry up and bring the person over."

"Yes!"

Yashiro, who was prepared to be punished after seeing the murderous eyes of the lord, immediately knew that he had finally escaped for the time being after hearing Yuiko Saeki's words, so he quickly obeyed his orders and left.

Not long after, Yashiro came to the place where the suspicious person was guarding, so he shouted at the peasants and soldiers who were guarding there:

"Quickly, pull that man over."

A group of farmers and soldiers under a fir tree in the distance are curled up and sleeping at this time.The big fire last night made them sleepless, and now that things have calmed down, they will naturally have a good rest.

They didn't care at all about the fire in the lord's grain warehouse. Anyway, the food was not theirs, and the lord would not be kind enough to send them some grain.At this time, they felt a little resentful towards their lord. You must know that it is the time for spring plowing, but the main labor force of the family has been forcibly conscripted into the city. Parents work hard in the fields, not only suffering their own family members, but also affecting their own spring plowing, so this autumn's harvest will inevitably decrease.

If there is a disaster year or a cold winter, how will the family live?What's even worse is that if this time comes, the lord may not be able to rescue them.Damn, I beat my life to death for you, but my own family didn't benefit, who is willing to sacrifice their lives.Even if the lord had promised to send half a stone of grain to each household as a reward after the war, who would believe it before the grain arrived?

What's more, the lord is obviously treating them as fools, bullying them not knowing who the enemy is this time.But the lord was wrong this time.As for the fact that the enemy is the Luo family, someone had secretly spread it in the village before.

Speaking of the Luo family, they were already familiar with them. In the memory of these peasants and soldiers, some strange people began to enter the surrounding villages more than two years ago, spreading all kinds of mighty deeds of the Luo family everywhere. At the same time, he also vigorously promoted the various laws of the Luo family.Thinking about it now, compared to the current lord's territorial laws, the so-called Luo family's laws are simply heaven for them.

Stimulated by these rumors, some villagers really dragged their families to the direction of Luo's house. Since then, there has been no news. Only those mysterious rumor guys brought back news about these villagers who moved. Live well.It's just that even so, they still won't fully believe it until they see it with their own eyes.

But even so, it made them know how powerful the enemy Luo's family is this time, isn't it courting death to fight against such a powerful enemy?The lord even said that he would send food as a reward after the battle, but fighting against such a powerful enemy, it is easy to die.Life is gone, even if the lord really fulfills his promise afterwards, he will not be blessed to enjoy it, and it is not known at that time, whether the lord will give the rewards of the dead to their families, if not, then it will be true What is dead is in vain.

Under such circumstances, who is willing to sacrifice their lives?So when the fire broke out last night, they just put on a show outside, they didn't follow the Lord's order to put out the fire with all their strength, and they didn't bother to search for suspicious persons.As for the guy next to him who was tied under a tree, he was also unlucky enough to meet the adult in charge of the warehouse who was looking for a scapegoat everywhere, and he happened to be very flustered, so he was arrested as a spy.In their eyes, the poor fellow looked like he was going to die.Just as they were dozing off and muttering in secret, the adult who was usually in charge of managing the warehouse really came.

Facing this adult's order, a middle-aged farmer and soldier among the crowd had no choice but to agree, and at the same time called two companions who also had reluctant expressions, escorted the poor man tied to the tree, followed The grown-up moved on.
