Chapter 525: A Smart Man
On the morning of March 7, the 14th year of the Astronomical Dynasty, in the camp of the Higo Coalition Army in Qingura, Kikuchi County, Higo Province.
In last night's battle, the Feihou coalition army originally planned to attack the Luo family's camp at night, but it turned out to be counterattacked by the Luo family. After this battle, the wealthy families in the camp can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
The Omiya family lost the two fathers and sons, Guangyong Weizong and Guangyong Weichun, and the Guangyong family, an important minister of the Omiya Si family, has since severed their blood relationship, and they are almost wiped out. And the soldiers of the Omiya family also lost more than a third. This part of the lost soldiers is estimated to have either been cut and captured by the Luo family, or they are still wandering in the wild.
Due to the excessive loss of soldiers this time, General Aso Yui, who was the chief general of the Omiya Tsukasa family this time, had to give an order to order the garrison of Kenshida Castle and Michijo Castle, which were important border cities, Nagano Yukiyo, to lead troops to come to support.
On the side of the Hezhi family, the general of the family, Fan Security Chong, died in battle. The soldiers also lost nearly half, which can be described as a great loss of vitality. Of course, as the leading general this time, Hezhi Qinwei has mixed feelings at this time. Happily, the retainer Fan Baoanzhong, who has become more and more arrogant in recent years, has finally died, and he can completely annex the Fan Baojia by the way, and eliminate a big trouble from now on. The worry is that a lot of soldiers have been lost this time, so even if Xiang Fan Bao shoots, he will have to wait for a while.
Of course, whether it is the Omiya family or the Hezhi family, compared to the city family and the Obu family, it is much luckier.
So far, the head of the city family, Cheng Qindong, has not heard any news, and it is very likely that he will go to see the god of sunshine in the night attack last night. Now there is only a group of city soldiers in the coalition camp who have escaped from the chaos without a leader.
Compared to the city family, which is still a mystery, the fate of the family is very clear. Although the in-laws of the family, who were the governors of the family, escaped with their lives, the three retainers of the family, Chang Zongyuan, Tomita Shiji and Youdong Qianyuan, were all lost in the battle last night.
The worst of all. Its main city, Yumachi Castle, was even more attacked by the Luo family's army, which followed the rout. The son-in-law of the in-laws of the family was unfortunately hit by an arrow in the battle of the cage city. Although he was desperately protected by a few relatives and samurai, he fled from Yumachi Castle and came to the camp of the coalition army. But after meeting the most ugly side with his in-laws, he died. The heartbroken in-laws passed out directly and are still unconscious.
Of course, no one knew that the coma of the in-laws of the Dao Dao clan was actually caused by remorse. At the beginning, in order to prevent the retainers who stayed in Yumachi Castle from making trouble during his expedition, he directly took all the important ministers away, leaving only his son-in-law and his relatives to stay behind. As a result, not only are all the retainers lost, but even the sister-in-law lacks experience in cage warfare because he has no retainers to assist, and then he is seriously injured. In the end, he died of his injuries, so he was actually the culprit who indirectly caused this situation.
Compared with the gloomy clouds in the coalition camp, the Luo family was full of joy in the newly arranged camp in the early morning.
In last night's battle, after the defeat of the coalition army under the plan of Zhengliang's generals, from the battlefield of the camp burned last night, they have successively found the corpses of big fish such as Cheng Qindong. According to the statistics in one morning, more than 200 coalition soldiers were killed and more than 100 were captured this time, and only a few unlucky ghosts on the Luo family's own side were injured when they were chasing the other party's rout.
Of course, compared to the jubilation of the retainers. Masahiro is much calmer, overall. In fact, last night's battle against the Luo family was not complete. Limited by the influence of the night, it was still escaped by most of the coalition forces, although many of these escaped coalition troops should not return to the coalition camp from now on, but from the perspective of political conscience, last night's battle was still not too perfect.
Moreover, among the three-way pursuit army that had been originally arranged, only Yumachi Castle was successfully taken according to the plan, and the large camp of the coalition army was not able to take the opportunity to disrupt its large camp because the other side had already taken precautions.
The most bizarre thing is the city and village of the city family. Seongkin-hyun, who was in charge of the stay-behind guard, was so frightened that he hid on the tatami mat in his bedroom and refused to come out, so the soldiers guarding the gate were not given the order to open the door, and finally did not let the defeated soldiers outside the gate into the city. And the Luo family's army will naturally not be able to take advantage of the situation to capture the city.
However, the military strength of the Luo family captured the important minister of the city family, Detian Zhengdong, who fled to the outside of the city village.
"Masa-sama, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Masato said when he saw that Ideta Masato, who was kneeling on the ground trembling all over his body in the big tent.
"Speaking of which, last night's battle was thanks to Lord Zhengdong's report on behalf of the family, so they came to the front." Masato said to himself.
After hearing this, Izuda Masatsu's knees went straight to weakness, and the whole person fell directly to the ground.
"If the family publicizes the affairs of Lord Zhengdong and the family who conspired to calculate the various families of Feihou, I am afraid that Lord Zhengdong will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Feihou, and even end up being hunted down and killed in this life." Masato said with a smile.
"Please forgive the villain's life!" After hearing this, Izuda Masato almost fainted directly. Aren't you Luo Zhengliang harming people? If this continues, even if he has a hundred mouths, he will not be able to justify his innocence. I wanted to turn my heart sideways and directly beg the other party to give me death, but I couldn't raise the guts, and I had to beg for mercy in the end.
"Spare your life?" Zhengliang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he had a successful expression, and then said: "It's not that there is no way to do this, as long as you can do one thing." ”
Ideta Masato, who was lying on the ground, heard that he had a chance to live, and immediately got up again, looking at Masahiro expectantly.
"Hehe, as long as you complete this matter, not only will you be able to save your own life, but I will even let you inherit the orthodoxy of the city family." Masara continued to tempt.
"Could it be that Dazai Shaoji is letting him return to Jomura Castle?" Detian Zhengdong can become an important minister of the city family, and his wisdom will naturally not be too bad, and after a little thought, he knows what Luo Zhengliang plans to let him do.
"Hehe, you are very smart, yes, as long as you can return to the city and village, and persuade the coward in the city to surrender, the family will not only be able to spare you death. It can even allow you to inherit the orthodoxy of the castle family. Hearing this, Zhengliang nodded and smiled.
"Of course, you are a smart person, you should know very well that as long as you enter the city and village, there will be no chance to escape from the hands of your own family, if this trip fails, or you try to escape, then when the city and village city is broken by your family, it will be the time when you die and the clan is destroyed."
