Chapter 296: To Intervene or Not to Intervene
"Your Highness, even if the family has the heart to intervene now, I'm afraid it will be powerless" Shinnosuke Akabane saw Masayo's thoughts.? Come on,.! In his opinion, at this time, the Luo family should wait and see what happens, and then pick up the bargain. rash intervention will involve the Luo family in the whirlpool.
"In order to ensure that the territory of the newly occupied territory settles down as soon as possible, almost all of the detectives of the family have mixed into the territory as ordinary people, causing the family to not have enough manpower to monitor the movements of the rest of the powerful people," Shinnosuke Akabane fanned the Akabane fan and said, "And the conflict with the Wave family, although the family won in the end, but the family's standing ashigaru and samurai also lost a lot, and in the case that His Highness's newly recruited troops were not well trained, the remaining standing equipment of the family was only enough to protect themselves." ”
"Your Highness, why don't you mobilize some peasant soldiers first," said the executive who had been silent at this time.
"No, Lord Executive" Before Masato could respond, Shinnosuke Akabane took the Akabane fan and said, "The main family has been in continuous conflict with the Huko family, the Sashi family, and the Hasaka family, and a large number of peasants and soldiers have been frequently mobilized, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will cause internal instability in the territory." Now is the time for the family to quickly stabilize the territory of the original Boduo, and it is not appropriate to have an unstable territory. ”
"Once there is instability in the family's territory, the surrounding Haoqiang will definitely not let go of such an opportunity," Akabane Shinnosuke said later, "Your Highness, it is indeed not appropriate for the family to get involved in this dispute at this time." After speaking, Shinnosuke Akabane bowed to Masayo and admonished again.
"If we don't intervene, I'm afraid that the Uematsuura clan and the Goto family will swallow up Hirado Matsuura, and in the future, the family will have to face a much stronger neighbor," said the executive tane, worried.
"Hmph. If it's a group of wolves that cooperate with each other, the family needs to be afraid. But now they're just a bunch of wild dogs that have a plan against each other, so there's nothing to be afraid of," Shinnosuke Akabane said disdainfully. "Besides, I'm afraid Your Highness already has a way to deal with them in his heart, right?"
"Hmm," Masarashi replied noncommittally as he looked at the sky outside the council hall, and then asked a seemingly inconsequential question, "What is the situation of the earth mound that guards the road to Imari Bay in Mt. Imagaku?" ”
"Your Highness, according to the report of the detectives, it seems that the defenders of the Imari clan there have not yet received the news of the defeat of the main family, and there are still many guards in the earthen wall," the executive reported immediately.
"Your Highness is preparing to take the opportunity to capture that place?" Shinnosuke Akabane immediately asked.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty is willing to be the vanguard," he said.
"No," Masarashi said with a smile, "just send someone to keep an eye on it." ”
"Your Highness, you mean that it is possible for the Hirado Matsuura clan to enter the family's territory from there. Then ask the family for help," Shinnosuke Akabane reacted immediately. Then asked.
"Yes," Masarashi nodded, "Although the marriage has not been confirmed, the family and the Hirado Matsuura family are already allies," Masarashi said, "In this case, the Hirado Matsuura family has no choice but to ask the family for help." ”
"That being the case. The family can take advantage of the situation to intervene in this matter," Shinnosuke Akabane bowed his head and said, "It's just that the situation of the family is really not suitable for another big move, once there is a loss, the favorable situation that the family has won so hard will no longer exist." ”
"Shiya, Shiya" Masashi said. According to Masayo's original plan, after occupying the territory of the Hakata family in Higashi Matsuura, he maintained an alliance with the Hirado Matsuura clan in the southwest, and then slowly annexed the Haoqiang in the east. It's a pity that providence makes people. The Hirado Matsuura clan, which was originally in a good situation, was about to face the crisis of extinction, and even the Luo family, which could no longer withstand the toss, had to intervene. In Zhengliang's opinion, it is better to maintain the status quo in the south of the Luo family.
Although what Shinnosuke Akabane said just now makes a lot of sense, the Goto family and the Omura family are just some wild dogs, and they are indeed not as threatening as wolves, but wild dogs also have times when they go crazy. Once the other party is desperate to kill the Luo family, then the Luo family will face the situation of enemies on both sides of the east and south. If these two directions are united at the same time, then the Luo family will be really in danger. You must know that the Longzao temple family in the east of the road is not ordinarily strong, although it suffered a defeat this time, but it is estimated that it will recover soon.
"This is troubled times" After hearing Masayo's words, Shinnosuke Akabane also understood Masayo's decision, so he had to sigh.
"Then what if the Hirado Matsuura family doesn't even have time to support the family and send troops to help?" Executor asked suddenly.
"The family can immediately mobilize the peasants and soldiers, and under the banner of aiding the allies, be the first to enter the territory of the Hirado Matsuura family" Now that the head of the family has made a decision, Shinnosuke Akabane has also immediately changed his role and actively contributed to the Luo family.
"Entering the territory of an ally without asking for help from an ally may cause misunderstanding among allies."
"Humph! It seems that the Matsuura clan has no choice," Shinnosuke Akabane said flatly, "Your Highness, the family can even occupy a part of the territory first, just under the pretext of assisting the allies in maintaining the territory. ”
"Yes, the family can take the opportunity to occupy the earthen that enters Imari Bay," said Kane, the executive of Tanekane.
"No, if the Hirado Matsuura family doesn't even have time to support the family, then the family won't move," Masara dismissed the idea of the two retainers.
"Huh?" The two retainers were puzzled.
"The fact that the Honka family has annexed the territory of the Hakata family in Matsuura County this time may have aroused the vigilance of the various powerful people, and if the family is not stable again, if the Hirado Matsuura clan is occupied again, even if the rest of the powerful do not change, the Omura family, the Kamimatsunura family, and the Goto family will unite against the main family," said Masara.
"Miao" Shinnosuke Akabane immediately praised, "If the family takes the opportunity to occupy the territory, although it has seized the territory, it has also caused several powerful people to become vigilant, and even join forces to deal with the family, if the family does not move, then although these powerful families have some taboos, but before they are threatened with their own interests, at least they will not immediately unite against the family." ”
"Hmm" Masarashi nodded, agreeing with Shinnosuke Akabane's analysis, and then continued, "And don't forget the Imari family in Imari Bay. ”
"Imari's house?"
"Not bad," Masaro said, "If the family occupies the earthen that leads to Imari Bay, I am afraid that the Imari family will feel in danger, and even hand over this place to the Omura family coalition to guard, then it will be much more difficult for the family to attack Minamimatsunura County." Instead, keep it as it is, and then hit it with all your strength by surprise when the time comes......" Speaking of this, Masara did not continue, but looked at the two retainers.
"Your Highness is wise!" The two retainers glanced at each other, saw a look of understanding in each other's eyes, and then immediately bowed to Masahiro and praised ......)
