Chapter 254: A Bridge Overnight (2)

After both samurai had turned to leave, Masaro looked at the only Black Eagle left.

"Black Hawk, you have a few more important things to do," said Masaara, "first, you send someone to inform your chieftain that the shore on the side of the Ishihara family's territory on the east bank of Tsutsu must be cleared before early tomorrow morning, and there can be no remaining reconnaissance left behind; Second, inform the Daxi Guozhi stationed in Yuanshengqi to let him prepare enough planks immediately, and even tear down the plank house, and give double compensation to the demolished house in the future, and those villagers will be temporarily arranged to live in Yuanshengqi; Thirdly, inform the first standing ashigaru team Kinoshita Masanao to lead forty ashigaru to assemble here, even if he goes forward with torches tonight, he must arrive by early tomorrow morning. ”

"I will write two letters at once, one to Sun Goro in Itaya Bay, and the other to the captain of the big ship docked in the port of my house," said Masaara.

"Yes, Your Highness," Black Eagle bowed to order. Then waiting for Masato to finish writing the two letters by hand, Black Eagle took the letters, bowed and saluted, and immediately dodged away. With so many tasks, the head of the family must have gone to his companions who were guarding nearby to help. Otherwise, he alone would not be able to notify all the people mentioned by the head of the family in time.

After the "gathering" handed the letter to Black Hawk, Masayo also walked out of the gate of the council hall and shouted out into the courtyard.

With the lord's order, all the cloaks and samurai gathered.

"You two, go to the nearby town and mobilize at least a hundred peasant soldiers for me," Masarashi turned over and mounted his war horse, and then said to the two cloaked people beside him.

The two immediately bowed down and took the order.

"The rest, come with me," Masarashi shouted.

"Your Highness" Just as Masayoshi was about to drive his horse forward, Tomohisa Oishi knelt down in the middle of the avenue. Obviously, he also saw that Zhengliang had something important to do.

"Okay, you follow me" Masarashi glanced at Tomohisa Oishi, then nodded and said.

The latter stood up happily, trotted to Masahiro's warhorse, pulled up the harness on the horse's head, and became the attendant of the horse.

"They're staying here for the time being, you have to take care of them," Masarashi pointed to the three mothers and relatives of Tomohisa Oishi who were standing in front of the wooden house, and said to the middle-aged man not far away. I saw that one of the middle-aged man's hands was missing. Apparently crippled. This was one of the original ashigaru teams, but his right hand was cut off during the battle, although his life was saved. But he has been crippled ever since. According to the bereavement law of the territory, he arranged to be here as the head of the village.

The middle-aged man immediately knelt on the ground in front of Masahiro, and then bowed and saluted, saying that he would definitely take care of Tomohisa Oishi's relatives.

"Good. Let's go," Masara said after settling everything down. Oishi Tomohisa glanced at the relatives at the door of the wooden house, gave them a reassuring look, and then began to lead Masayoshi's war horse and began to move forward. The samurai who were guarding around him also began to move.

Why did Masahiro suddenly arrange such a lot of actions after seeing the secret letter?

For the epistle says a very important piece of news.

Boduwon of Karajin Castle fell ill and died. In fact, Boduo died of illness as early as yesterday, but Boduo deliberately suppressed the news. It's just not released to the public. If it weren't for the Luo family's proper intelligence ability, they would still be kept in the dark.

This is very important news.

The reason why Masashi didn't do anything to the Sashi family or the Huzi family for a long time was because of this person. As long as he didn't die, Tang Jin's Hatato division would not be chaotic, and once he died, when the Zong family was ready to send someone to inherit the position of the governor of the split family, it could be said that there were undercurrents surging everywhere, even if Tang Jin's division was not chaotic. I don't have time to take care of other heroic actions. …,

At the same time, according to the latest intelligence yesterday. The Hata clan has already sent its main force to the border to confront the Ryuji clan. So even if the East Songpu Peninsula is now in chaos and the sky is torn down, they have no time to take care of it. This is the time that Masahiro is waiting for.

Although this information was still learned a step later under the deliberate cover-up of the Bo family, it was enough for the Luo family to react.

Hum! Huzi political friends, all new and old hatreds, let's make a decision. Masahiro rode on his horse and looked at the territory of the Huzi family in the distance.

Why did you choose the Raiders Yobuko family instead of the Sashi family? After all, in terms of situation analysis. It's much easier to raid the Sashi family.

Yes, it's much easier. But here's the thing. What should I do if I get strategized? Topographically. The Sashi family is sandwiched between the Karatsu Hata family and the Huko family, and with the current relationship between the Luo family and the Hakuta family, especially after the death of the Hado, who has a good impression of the Luo family, it is absolutely conceivable how the Hakuta family will treat the Luo family. At that time, the Luo family will be in danger of being attacked by two families at the same time.

Besides, will the Luo family definitely be able to attack the Zuo Zhi family? Could it be that seeing that the Luo family is growing, the little local tyrants in the direction of Tangjin, who have a good relationship with the Zuo Zhi family, will not come out to stir up the situation? And the Bodo family? Although the head of the house is dead, how can he allow others to snore on the side of the couch? Don't consider the reaction of the Yoko's family, but also look at the reaction of the Bojia family?

And the Raiders are different. Although the other party has gone through a big battle with the Matsuura family and the civil strife of the split family, the strength has now dropped significantly. But the family background is still there, and now not only does it have the trend of completely unifying and separating the family, but also has the secret acquiescence and even support of the Matsuura family, ready to confront the Luo family. Or is it the same sentence, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore? Now the Luo family is going to take advantage of the fact that the Huzi family is still weak, and launch a killing blow against it.

As for the reaction of other Haoqiang? During this time, Zhengliang sought justice for the Sazhi family, and even directly drove back the messengers sent by Sazhi on a regular basis, and then gathered troops on the border with the Sazhi family, just to attract the attention of other heroes and make them mistakenly think that the Luo family was going to attack the Sazhi family. Once the strategy against the Huzi family is launched, even if it must be the first reaction of the Sachi family, they are the least likely to have the heroism to act. Because the Luo family still has the regular troops of the Luo family dressed as peasant soldiers at its border, Zuo Zhi, who has long been taught the power of politics, will definitely not dare to act rashly for the sake of insurance.

Bodo? It is estimated that the matter of separating the family is enough for them to be busy, and besides, the place where the war is happening now is still separated from them by a powerful territory, so they can at most send an envoy to mediate? But will Zhengliang bother with it? It's a big deal, use a few spring and autumn brushstrokes to deal with the other party's envoy, forget it. With the current situation, the two families will have to face each other sooner or later, so why bother to estimate the face?

Hirado Matsuura family? The only thing they could send out was the navy. But are they willing to open up two battlefields at once? That is, to fight against the allied forces such as Omura at the border of the territory, and to fight against the Luo family's naval army on the water? Even if the most embarrassment Matsuura family Mitsunobu had this courage, Masarashi had already prepared a gift for them. When the time comes, they will inevitably only become spectators.

Therefore, in the end, the most likely thing is that the Luo family and the Huzi family will compete on the battlefield.

In fact, what Zhengliangxian is now relying on is the huge population base of the territory. 10,000 people, you can gather some troops at any time that do not participate in the battle, but can be used to confuse. Looking at the Huzi family and the Sashi family, according to the information of the detective, the population is at most a few thousand. Originally, the Huzi family still had a population of tens of thousands, but under the offensive of the propaganda methods used by Zhengliang, all the displaced people in his territory basically ran to the territory of the Luo family. Even some of the poor peasants followed in the footsteps of these displaced people. The most ridiculous thing is that after discovering these anomalies, neither the Huzi family nor the Sashi family went to stop it, but thought it was a good thing, after all, the unstable factors in the territory had suddenly decreased a lot. …,

Now they are going to taste the bitter fruits of doing so.

In the afternoon. Hit the edge of the Tsu River, and Masara stood quietly on a clod of earth.

Due to the winter, the water level of the river has dropped significantly. I sent someone to reconnoiter just now, and found that the position in front of me was the narrowest in the river. From the riverbed that is exposed to dirt on this side to the place where the riverbed is also exposed on the other side, it is only a little more than ten meters. This distance is sufficient.

Masato prepares to build a simple wooden bridge here overnight.

Why not use boats? The reason is simple. In the case that the sea water connected to the exit of Shangjin is controlled by the Huzijia naval army, the Luo family cannot enter the Shangjin, so there are only two Xiaozao that were originally there. If you plan to use these two ships to transport the soldiers of the Luo family to the other side, it is estimated that it will not work without two days and two nights. Therefore, Masara had no choice but to build a wooden bridge.

In the evening, the first to arrive was Togo Heiji, who was far away in the Notaka Mountains, and he brought with him a large number of craftsmen and tools. Masarashi asked Togo Heiji to direct the craftsmen to start cutting down trees and making tools. The samurai and cloaked men who followed him were also sent to assist them.

Later, two samurai who had been ordered to mobilize the peasants arrived with a hundred peasants. Masara had the samurai lead the peasants into two teams, one of which picked up tools and filled the riverbed, which was bare, but was actually filled with watery silt, and if you stepped on it, you would sink into it. Therefore, Zhengliang wants people to fill in the soil on it. After the riverbed is raised, it is filled in to reduce the distance between this side of the river bank and the opposite bank. Another team went to assist the craftsmen and carry the felled trees to the shore.

Soon after, the forty second standing ashigaru teams led by Kuniji Onishi also arrived. They brought with them a large number of planks, and even slightly wider trunks. Masato asked them to divide into two teams and repeat the work arrangement just now.

As the sun was about to set, forty ashigaru from the 3rd Standing Ashigaru Team also arrived, led by Sasuke Roche. A group of new forces were added to the scene.

I was busy until night, and after lighting the torches, the work continued. At this time, the black eagle on the opposite side also came with the news that within half a mile of the opposite bank, all the unknown characters had been cleared. Black Hawk is also hidden in several villages of the nearby Ishihara family, and once someone comes out at night, it will be controlled. (To be continued......)
