"What?" When Togo Yoshiyu listened to Rui Nagatorian's words, he no longer had the calm look he had just now, but said with a shocked face, "Daguang Temple Castle is about to be attacked by bandits?" ”

"Indeed!" Rujing Nagaran said with an affirmative face.

Togo Yoshiyu hurriedly continued, "How did Lord Rui know about this? How can you be sure it's true? ”

"Hasn't the Tsugawa Hall recently issued a decree, and anyone who reports the bandits will be rewarded?" Rujing Changlian said slowly: "So a few days ago, someone came to find Zaixia. According to this man, many people in his village have appeared in recent days that he has never seen before, and they disappear every night, and reappear in the village during the day! ”

Zai Xia thought that there was something strange about this matter, so he asked again and again, and sent someone to monitor the vicinity of the village according to the information provided by this person. It was found that as this person said, this group of people was indeed suspicious! And this evening, Ashigaru, who was sent out to monitor this group of people, found Zaixia, saying that this group of people suddenly went in the direction of Daguang Temple Castle together, combined with the bandit attack that happened before, so it was concluded that these people must be bandits, and Daguang Temple City is likely to be attacked by bandits tonight! ”

"This matter is very important, and I will report it to Lord Dongxiang immediately!" Rui Changlian said slowly.

Togo Yoshiyu nodded, and then looked at Rujing Changlian with appreciation, "Lord Rujing, you have done a good job in this matter, if it is really as you said, I will truthfully show the merits of Lord Ming to the lord in the future!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Togo, it's really the family's duty to serve the Tsugawa family!" What Rui Nagario is waiting for is Togo Yoshiyu's words, but loyalty still has to be shown.

"How many bandits are there?" Togo Yoshisuke thought for a moment, then asked.

Rujing Nagarin hurriedly replied, "There are at least forty or fifty people, and everyone seems to be a powerful person. ”

"Hmm." Togo Yoshiyu hurriedly said, "In this case, please also ask Lord Rujing to return to Rujing City immediately to mobilize troops, and join up with Zai Xia and immediately go to Daguang Temple Castle." It's good if there are no bandits attacking, but if there really is, then this gang of bandits will be wiped out in one fell swoop! ”

"There are bandit attacks everywhere in our family now, it's time to eliminate some bandits to stabilize the hearts of the people in the territory!" Togo Yoshiyu said helplessly.

There is only one squadron in Ishikawa Castle now, and most of the rest of the troops have been assigned by Togo Yoshisuke to defend other castles. If you want to exterminate the group of bandits who attacked Daguangji City, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on the current squadron of Ishikawa Castle alone, after all, when the number is equal, it is easy to repel the bandits, but it is a little difficult to annihilate them.

So Togo Yoshiyu asked Rujing Nagalian to assist him in sending troops, although the Rujing family's troops are all peasant soldiers, but at least they can be replenished.

Horikoshi Castle outside Ishikawa Castle is the residence of Oura, an important minister of the Oura family.

However, Oura Shoushin is usually not in Horikoshi Castle, because Oura is not in good health, and often needs Oura Shoushin to be by his side to help him deal with government affairs, so there are only a small number of Oura Shouxin flags in Horikoshi Castle.

However, now, there is no flag of the Oura family flying on the upper floor of Horikoshi Castle, and an hour ago, Horikoshi Castle was captured.

In the castle tower, which has been slightly dilapidated, there are more than ten people sitting quietly at this time, and one of the leaders is a samurai in his thirties, and the rest of the people in the hall are also dressed as samurai.

"Did the news get people out?" Suddenly, the samurai at the head suddenly opened his mouth and broke the peace in the hall.

As soon as the samurai's voice fell, a burly samurai sitting below hurriedly replied, "My lord, the news has been released, shouldn't we do it?" ”

"Wansuke, the more times like this, the more you have to calm down!" The samurai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Wait patiently." ”

"But isn't it unfair for Kogoro to do this?" At this time, the other person sitting in the hall frowned and said with a guilty face.

Hearing the samurai's words, the samurai sitting on the main seat smiled and said, "Uchizosuke, aren't you bent on restoring your family name?" Isn't this a great opportunity? As long as our next plan can be successful, we will almost all of the Tsugawa family's strongholds in Tsugaru Prefecture be captured, and then it will be time for us to show our skills. ”

"But.........." The man called Uchizosuke wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by another samurai beside him, "Don't talk about Uchizosuke, it's no wonder that we are in this matter, it's all about reviving the family name!" On Kogoro's side, he can only ask for more blessings! ”

Ishikawa Castle.

Togo Yoshisuke gathered all the remaining squadrons in the city at the gate of Ishikawa Castle, and at this time, a detective quickly came to Togo Yoshisuke's side and said loudly, "My lord, when I went down to the twenty miles outside the city of Dakoji Castle, I heard the sound of fighting, and when I got closer, I found that the garrison of Dakoji Castle Ashigaru had been surrounded by a group of bandits with a number of fifty people, and the situation was very critical!" ”

"Rui Nagalian's words are really true!" Togo Yoshiyu suddenly clenched his fists with excitement, "Order the whole army to immediately march in the direction of Daguang Temple Castle!" Be sure to arrive at Daguangji Castle within an hour! ”

"Hah!"

Dakoji Castle is not far from Ishikawa Castle, just more than thirty miles north of Ishikawa Castle, and if you march in a hurry, two hours are barely enough, but it is a piece of cake for the standing strength of the Tsugawa family.

The squadron that Togo Yoshisuke is now leading is a standing ashigaru specially transferred from the territory by Tsugawa Soji to protect Togo Yoshiyu's safety as Togo Yoshiyu's flag team.

When Togo Yoshiyu and others traveled more than ten miles north of Ishikawa Castle, they met with the troops of Rui Nagalian, and then the two forces converged and went straight to Dakoji Castle.

At the same time, in the small village outside the city of Daguangji Castle, the Ozaki family was sweating profusely and commanding more than a dozen ashigaru beside him to form a circle formation, struggling to resist the attacks of dozens of bandits around him.

Just an hour ago, when the garrison Ashigaru led by Osaki with two squads had just arrived outside Kozaki Village, the bandits who were attacking Kozaki Village suddenly rushed towards Osaki and the others.

Seeing that there were only a dozen or so bandits rushing towards him, Osamu Ozaki was of course extremely happy, and immediately greeted him with Ashigaru! However, just after a while, twenty or thirty bandits appeared behind Ozaki and others, surrounding Ozaki and others.

Ozaki Jike panted and pulled the Tai Dao out of the body of a bandit, and the long years of indulgence had already emptied the body of the Ozaki family. used to be regarded as a brave and extraordinary Osamu Ozaki, but now he is a hairless tiger and can't be fierce........ 0898)
