If a dream is your dream, the dream you came into this world for, then you can spend your life hiding it behind the clouds of skepticism, but you can never get rid of it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the night of Iwashimizu Yoshinaga's house arrest, the night before Sanada Masayuki's army came to the Bianshi Imperial Palace, Iwashimizu Yoshinaga, who had been rejected several times when he wanted to leave the study, chose to use self-immolation to express his loyalty to Spo Kannao.

The raging flames not only engulfed the study where Iwashimizu Yoshinaga was located, but also completely destroyed the castle tower, which had been built by generations of Iwasichimi family governors, and this nominal castle lord's mansion represented the Iwasichimi family's rule over the Bian Seishi Imperial Palace.

Iwashimizu Yoshiyoshi, who couldn't be rescued, saw the hard work of several generations of governors of his family being burned, and it was inevitable that there was an indescribable sense of sadness in his heart;

The next morning, after a night of fighting by thousands of ashigaru and tens of thousands of civilians, the fire in the castle tower was extinguished.

Perhaps, many things are only expected when they are not obtained, and once they are really obtained, all expectations become undeniably indifferent, and even the motivation that used to be is no longer so powerful.

Iwashimizu Yoshito, who had a much calmer heart, did not regret what he had done, nor did he feel that he had gained anything, but the samurai who were loyal to him could not help but get excited after Iwashimizu Yoshinaga set himself on fire.

For these samurai who put their own interests first, it is in their interests only for the tolerant and generous Iwashimizu Yoshikyo to serve as their governor, otherwise, what is the point of them following the Iwashimizu Yoshiyo?

All morning, the soldiers of the Bian Shi Imperial Palace cleaned up the ruins of the castle tower, and in order to make a good impression on the incoming army of the Yanhuang family, these samurai who once belonged to the Spo family completely let go of their samurai pride.

The accumulation of several generations of Iwashimizu family governors was completely destroyed with only one fire, and after a morning of cleaning, there was no trace of the Iwashimizu family in the entire Bian Shi Imperial Palace, which was the law of survival in troubled times.

The Sanada Standing Army, led by Sanada Masayuki, arrived at the Bianshi Imperial Palace in the afternoon of that day, and when the Sanada Standing Army, which was ready for the attack, arrived at the Bianshi Imperial Palace, Iwashimizu Yoshikyo immediately presented the Bianshi Imperial Palace, which had not yet been warmed up, in accordance with the teachings of Shikuda Kantai.

Sanada Masayuki, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, made the 5,000 soldiers under his command prepare for the attack only to avoid accidents; now that the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo has really donated the Bian Shi Imperial Palace, Sanada Masayuki is naturally relieved.

He first let the 2,000 soldiers of the Sanada Standing Army under his command be stationed in the Bian Shi Imperial Palace, and then placed the 4,000 soldiers under the command of the Iwashimizu Volunteer and the other 3,000 soldiers under his command in the military camp outside the city, and finally invited the Iwashimizu Yijiao into the Bian Shi Imperial Palace.

Before the latest order of the family governor arrived at the Bian Shi Imperial Palace, Sanada Masayuki did not dare to make any arrogance to the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo who voluntarily surrendered to the Bianshi Imperial Palace, and he only explained the current situation to the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo, after which the Iwashimizu Yoshikyo himself remained in the Bian Shi Imperial Palace.

The tacit cooperation between the high-level leaders of the two sides made the soldiers below much easier, so much so that the samurai of the Iwashimizu family and the samurai of the Sanada family also held a banquet symbolizing friendship in the barracks where the armies of the two sides were mixed.

On the second day after Sanada Masayuki successfully took the Bian Shi Imperial Palace, the main army of the Yanhuang family led by Bai Feng finally arrived at Gaoshui Temple Castle; compared to the Bian Shi Imperial Palace, which was actively donated by the Iwashimizu Yijiao, the Gaoshui Temple Castle with Si Po Quanzhi sitting in front of it was much more complicated.

Shikuda Quantai's plan is actually to let Bai Feng divide the army of the Yanhuang family into four besieging armies, and then surround the Takasui Temple Castle, and after that, Shikita Quantai in the city will find a way to persuade Spo Quantai to take the initiative!

This plan is not very clever, but the feasibility of implementation is still very high, as long as Spo Kannao does not know the betrayal of Shikita Kantai and Kunohe Yasu, it is impossible for him to doubt Shikita Kantai's proposal, who made Shikita Kantai the head of the Spo family?

As for the other retainers of the Spo family, after Spo Quanzhi made it clear again and again, even Iwashimi Yoshinaga, who was the most loyal to him, was expelled from Takamizu Temple Castle, is there still a retainer around him who is not afraid of death and dares to tell the truth?

In fact, it was not only the three of Shitian Quantai who secretly defected to the Yanhuang family in the Sibo family, the three of them were just the three highest-ranking representatives of the Sibo family's retainers who defected to Chengcheng, and there were more other retainers who secretly defected to the Yanhuang family than Bai Feng imagined!

As the army gradually approached only five miles away from Gaoshuisi Castle, Bai Feng redeployed his army, and the governor's guard, which was 6,000 soldiers, would besiege the West Gate of Gaoshuisi Castle, which was the least likely to be broken through, under the leadership of Wendell.

Two longbow wings and one elite infantry wing of the Yanhuang Standing Army will be drawn out and commanded by Sanada Nobuyoshi to besiege the south gate of Takasui Temple Castle, while the remaining 7,000 soldiers will besiege the north gate of Takasuji Castle under the leadership of Sanada Nobuyuki.

The only vacant east gate is also the direction of the breakthrough planned by Shirita Kantai, which will be surrounded by the personal guard battalion where Bai Feng himself sits, and the southern Rizhi and Izumiyama Masayoshi will participate in their first battle in the Yanhuang clan under the command of Thales!

A sapling that does not experience the wind and rain will never grow into a towering tree, and a general without actual combat experience will also not be able to grow into a general who is in charge of his own affairs, and it is a good habit for Bai Feng to cultivate every talent around him as much as possible.

Nanbu Toshinao and Izumiyama Masayoshi do not have the courage of Sanada Nobuyuki or the resourcefulness of Sanada Nobuyoshi; if such ordinary talents do not have a good environment for growth and opportunities to hone their training, then their development will have no future to speak of.

As the eldest son of Nanfang Xinzhi, Nanfang Lizhi will definitely inherit the position of the governor of the Nanfang family in the future; instead of handing over the Nanfang family under the Yanhuang family to a person who does nothing, it is better to personally train this ordinary person into a talent of the Yanhuang family.

On the one hand, a capable Southern Family Governor can contribute to the strength of the Yanhuang Family, and on the other hand, the talents cultivated by himself are always reassuring in terms of loyalty, which is the reason why Bai Feng decided to cultivate Southern Lizhi.

As the eldest son of Quanshan Gukang, Quanshan Masayoshi, his status is similar to that of Nanfang Lizhi, so he was also placed under the command of Thales by Bai Feng;

It's just that using Thales as his personal bodyguard, even Licinius and Antio feel a bit wasteful, not to mention Bai Feng, who has always cherished talents;
