"Chapter 149: Tsugaru Decision"
Demons exist, but they are too few to pose a real danger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Even more dangerous are ordinary people and public servants who are willing to believe and act without questioning.

The two core legions in the city of Rome are still short of the last sixteen Roman light infantry teams that are still close to reaching full strength, and these sixteen Roman light infantry teams, plus fourteen shadow killers, are the army that the city needs to recruit in November.
The step-by-step systematic special training also requires Bai Feng to pay 20,000 gold in the treasury funds for this month, and for special training and recruitment alone, Bai Feng needs to spend 31,320 gold in November, not including other possible expenditures.
Fortunately, the monthly income of the city of Rome has reached a high level, which is enough to support the expenses required for the development of the city, after all, the situation of the previous month is extremely special, and the formation of heavy cavalry is not something that happens every month.
Bai Feng, who was far overseas, could only make plans for the development of the system, and he was powerless in other specific affairs; after determining the recruitment quota and paying the special training fee, Bai Feng closed the Rome City attribute table and put the affairs of Rome City aside for the time being.
Bai Feng, who was leading the army back, didn't know that a few days ago, the army of the Tsugaru family had already arrived at the wild border dungeon, and the army of the entire 20,000 Tsugaru family had launched a fierce attack on the wild border dungeon garrisoned by Quanshan Gukang!
The reason why the Tsugaru family was able to send troops to attack the wild border dungeon so quickly had to start from the day when the Yanhuang family's army set out, and before that day, Bai Feng held a meeting in the assessment room, and in this meeting, the Yanhuang family's offensive strategy was determined.
At that time, the people who were able to participate in this meeting were all core members of the Yanhuang family, and naturally there was no problem of leaking secrets, but the large-scale army mobilization that followed could not hide the eyes of some well-intentioned people.
It is normal for the Nanbu family, the Tsugaru family, and the Spo family, the three strongest families in the former Mutsu Province, to secretly plant spies among each other, and one of the spies of the Tsugaru family is in Minohe Castle.
This spy in the southern family's heart in the Tsugaru family is just one of the most ordinary vegetable sellers in Minohe Castle, and he can't obtain any high-level information about the southern family, but he can send some things that are on the surface back to the Tsugaru family through secret channels.
This kind of low-level spy hidden in the sea of people will never be able to obtain high-level intelligence prepared in time, and there is no high-risk risk of being caught at any time, so he lived in peace and quiet in Sanhe Castle for more than ten years, until the Yanhuang family replaced the southern family.
In fact, the replacement of the Southern Family by the Yanhuang Family did not affect the lives of the ordinary people in Sanhe City, and the peace of this spy was naturally not disturbed;
In the war between the barbarian tribes, there is no spies, and the barbarian warriors who are upright and cheerful by nature will only use the simplest and roughest battles to resolve the conflicts, and other unconventional methods are not taken into account by the barbarian warriors at all.
Fighting such an enemy, Hakumine, who did not have an intelligence organization, did not need an intelligence organization, so in the Yamato Empire, Hakumine also selectively ignored the importance of intelligence, so that a crucial piece of information was sent back to the Tsugaru family.
The main force of the Yanhuang family entered and exited, and nearly 30,000 troops were killed in the direction where the Sibo family was located, and another 10,000 or so troops marched to the wild border dungeon; this extremely important information was sent to Tsugaru when Bai Feng led the army to Hachinohe Castle.
Upon learning of this important information, Tsugaru did not dare to delay and immediately summoned the important ministers of the Tsugaru family in Ishikawa Castle for discussion, and as a result, Hattori Yasuki, known as the "incomparable good minister", firmly believed that the Tsugaru family should immediately send troops to attack the Yanhuang family.
Ogasawara Nobuyoki, who was not in favor of sending troops immediately, thought that the most important thing for the Tsugaru family to do at this time was to seize the time to digest the Nangaoka Imperial Palace, rather than to make enemies of the strongest Yanhuang family, and he even believed that the war between the Yanhuang family and the Spo family would be beneficial to the Tsugaru family.
Ogasawara Nobukiri is one of the three elders of the Tsugaru family, and his ideas also represent the opinions of the three elders of Oura, but Tsugaru is more inclined to Hattori Yasushi's ideas;
If it weren't for the tacit cooperation between the Tsugaru family and the Spo family, the southern family would have unified the country of Mutsu a hundred years ago, which is a fact that no one can deny.
If the Spo family can fight with the Yanhuang family, it will indeed be the most beneficial situation for the Tsugaru family, but what if such an if? What if the Spo family is easily conquered by the Yanhuang family?
The former hypothesis will give the Tsugaru family the opportunity to rise rapidly and even become the strongest force in the Michinoku Kingdom, while the latter hypothesis will bring the Yanhuang family to the next level, and eventually lead the Tsugaru family to a place of no return.
The cautious Tsugaru Nobuyomi would not pin his family's future on the unreliable Spo family, whose current governor, Spo Quanzhi, is the most 'prestigious' and ridiculous governor of the Mutsu Kingdom, and this kind of person is obviously not trustworthy.
Having made up his mind, Tsugaru decided to immediately organize a large army of the Tsugaru family to attack the wild border cities in the border area of the Yanhuang family, hoping to ensure that the Spo family would not be conquered by the Yanhuang family.
Tsugaru is not a Spo Zhizhi, the latter is just an incompetent governor with a cruel and domineering personality, but the former is a shrewd and powerful and powerful governor, and since he has made a decision, the retainers of the Tsugaru family can only obey.
In just four days, the Tsugaru family gathered an army of 20,000 men, of which 8,000 were the elite standing army of the Tsugaru family, and the other 12,000 were newly recruited peasants, who were just cannon fodder on the battlefield.
Of the 20,000 Tsugaru clans, 6,000 of them were left behind at the Nangang Imperial Palace, which was strengthened because it was both a newly conquered castle by the Tsugaru clan and a castle close to the border of the Yanhuang family.
In addition to the Tsugaru family's military advisor Numata Yumitsu as the lord of the Nangang Imperial Palace, Tsugaru also specially sent his important minister Morioka Nobumoto to serve as the commander of the Nangaoka Imperial Palace's garrison;
Fukushima Castle, where Kanehira was the lord of the castle, had only 2,000 standing troops left after this round of troop transfers, and even Ishikawa Castle, where Tsugaru was personally seated, had only 4,000 standing troops left, and the Tsugaru family had already used its greatest strength to attack the Yanhuang family.
It was Hattori Yasujo who was responsible for commanding the 20,000-strong army to attack the Yanhuang family's wild border dungeon, and Ogasawara Nobuyoshi, one of the three elders of Oura, was his deputy.
As for the 10,000 troops of the Yanhuang family stationed in the wild border dungeon, Tsugaru believes that the Yanhuang family has more than 40,000 standing troops; in his opinion, the reason why the Yanhuang family was able to mobilize 40,000 troops was nothing more than the mobilization of a large number of peasant soldiers.
