The submission of the questioning family made Zhengliang secretly greatly relieved.

There are many reasons why Masahiro first chose to open the door to the questioner. First of all, it was a coincidence that he caught the household that had a good relationship with the family of the questioner, and this person helped to promote the development of Zhengliang's plan, which made Zhengliang have an idea and temporarily decided to make this trip. Otherwise, according to his original plan, he would first solve the Kusano family and the Hoshino family, which were relatively much easier to solve, and then force the Qsuo family to surrender with the power of thunder.

Secondly, first of all, it helps to save a lot of time by subduing the questioner. Previously, Masato had calculated that whether it was to attack the Kusano family and the Hoshino family first, or to attack the Qsho family, he might even have to use a large cylinder to attack during the next period, and this series of actions, even if he finally made these wealthy families surrender, it would take at least a few days during the period. This is obviously the worst situation for the Luo family, which is racing against time to expand the results of the battle. Now that the questioning house has surrendered without resistance, it has actually saved a lot of time for the Luo family.

In addition, since there was no need to use force, the Luo family also reduced unnecessary casualties. There is no need to waste unnecessary military rations. This is because Nagaiwa Castle was located on a high mountain to the west of Nagagan Castle (a lake that remained even in later generations due to the inflow of a large number of mountain streams, and was even converted into a lake for power generation), and to the east and south of Nagaiwa Castle was a steep mountain, and only the north side facing the Chikugo River could enter Nagaiwa Castle. If it is attacked, the casualties caused during the period can be imagined.

At the end of the day, the family has always been tacitly regarded by the wealthy families of Chikugo as die-hard supporters of the Otomo family. Now even such supporters are subservient to the Luo family. As you can imagine. How much of an impact did this have on the remaining Kusano and Hoshino families. So it's like the first domino to be pushed to. As the army of the Questioning House appeared outside their city, the Hoshino family and the Kusano family quickly made the decision to surrender.

Of course, in order to avoid wasting more time, Masahiro did not make too many requests to these wealthy clans, but only asked their family governor to personally lead the family army to merge into Masaliang's army and participate in the next strategy. In this way, these families are not only temporarily stabilized, but also monitored and exploited by these families.

So, after immediately converging the forces of the three wealthy clans that day, Masahiro immediately led sixty cloaked people. Two hundred warriors of the Luo family, one hundred and fifty-three members of the Luo family, more than 500 Luo family peasants, more than 1,000 captive soldiers, and more than 300 people of the three combined forces, a total of nearly 3,000 troops, arrived outside Sugimoto Castle in the Akizuki family's Yosu Prefecture in Chikuzen Province at dusk of the same day.

In order to race against time, in the process of receiving the three families of the Question House, Hoshino, and Kusano, Masarashi did not even enter their castle, but only accepted the submission and worship ceremony of the three family governors outside the city, and then urged everyone to urgently merge and start marching towards Chikuzen Province.

On the march, in order to speed up. Masahiro even ordered people to cook meals along the way in advance, and then put them on wooden carts. Then mix in sea salt. When Masayo's army passed, all the soldiers lined up to grab these meals mixed with miscellaneous grains and rice along the way, eating as they went. Only then did he arrive at the Luo family's military camp outside Sugimoto Castle just before nightfall.

At this time, the Sugimoto Castle of the Akizuki family and the nearby ancient mountain castle had been besieged by Kinoshita Masanao's army of more than 4,000 people for two days and one night. In the past two days, Kinoshita Masanao fully learned the harassment tactics commonly used by Masayo before, and constantly adopted the tactics of attacking during the day and harassing at night with gongs and drums, which made the Qiuyue family miserable.

"Lord, it's really too much of a deception, why don't your subordinates rush out of the city and fight to the death with the Luo family." The retainer Fukae Minomori, who has always been short-tempered, suddenly said angrily.

It's hard for Fukae Minoshu to be so angry, it turned out that just now, the envoy of the family who had just returned from the Luo family's family said the Luo family's peace conditions one by one, and the harsh conditions suddenly made everyone in the council hall angry. Some retainers even scolded directly:

"It's a loot!"

Truly. Qiuyue Wenzhong, who was sitting in the first place, also completely thought that this was a robbery of his family. Originally, according to his idea, as long as some money and food were compensated for this peace, at worst, the two counties that had already been occupied would also be sent out, and the result of peace with the Luo family could basically be reached.

As a result, when the envoy came back now, he told him that he would not only pay for the two counties of Shangzai and Xiazao and a lot of money and food, but also give up the Yesu County where the Qiuyue family's main family was located and send his sister-in-law as a hostage. This is not looting or what?

What made Qiuyue Wenzhong even more angry was that the envoy of this envoy did not see Luo Masara himself at all, and when the envoy arrived at Riyu Castle, Masara had already rushed to Chikugo Province in advance, and the envoy of the Qiuyue family only saw Takasaka Masanobu, the guard of Hiyo Castle. For the envoy of the Autumn Moon family, Takasaka Masanobu was not polite at all, not only directly reprimanded the Autumn Moon family's previous treacherous abandonment of the alliance, but also directly put forward the above seemingly unacceptable conditions.

The Autumn Moon Bunge is really annoyed. He felt that he had been cheated by the Ouchi family (if it weren't for the Ouchi family's pressure to let them renounce the covenant and pay the Luo family more, how would they be attacked by the Luo family now), and he also felt that the Luo family was quite rude at this time. According to the thinking between the two countries of the Warring States, although the upper and lower counties of the Qiuyue family have fallen before, this originally belonged to the Qiuyue family after all, so now the Qiuyue family recognizes the planting, pinching their noses and giving the two counties to the Luo family is already the biggest concession, after all, this is a concession of righteousness, and it also allows the Luo family to occupy these places justifiably, and it can also allow the local lords to quickly accept the new lord.

But in Zhengliang's thinking, the upper and lower counties were fought down by the Luo family with manpower and material resources, and at the moment they were occupied by the Luo family, they were already the territory of the Luo family. As for your Qiuyue family to negotiate peace, naturally you have to come up with other things to negotiate peace, and now you have to send the things he already has in his hands to the door as your Qiuyue family's things, this is really no door.

At this time, invisibly, it is obvious that two different thinking are in conflict.

"My lord, the Luo family's army outside the city has begun to increase again." At this moment, a retainer hurriedly came in to report.

"Another troop increase? Where did the Luo family come from with so many troops, even if they defeated the army of the Ouchi family and the Otomo family that night, there was still a large army that the Luo family needed to resist in Chikugo and even Bungo. Qiu Yue Wen said suspiciously. Previously, because he had been running away, he was suddenly besieged by the Luo family's army after returning to the city, and he didn't know the situation of Chikugo and Chikuzen after that night. He still thinks that even if the Luo family won a big victory that night, he would still have to face the resistance of the Ouchi family and the Otomo family in Chikugo and Chikuzen.
