In the shouts of "surrender and don't kill", the soldiers of the Zongxiang family, who were originally unwilling to fight hard with the Luo family's army, threw away their weapons and squatted on the ground to surrender.

In this ambush battle, the two important ministers Kurokawa Takasho and Fukada Toshi, as well as some of the retainers' relatives and samurai, were killed, in addition to more than 40 unlucky peasant soldiers were killed in the melee. In the end, only more than 400 prisoners remained. And many of the remaining captives were wounded.

"What's next?" After guarding all the prisoners and hastily cleaning up the battlefield, the chief general of the 3rd Standing Ashigaru Brigade, Akuta, the commander of the military head Fu Kawada Yoshiro, and the deputy generals Asakura Muneta, Shimahara Junshige, Fukuda Nobukiyo, and others gathered together to discuss.

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that we are waiting for the original plan to be changed." The military eye Fu Kawada Yoshiro said in a deep voice. Although Yoshiro Kawada was only seventeen years old at the time, he still looked like a teenager, but he studied with Masara for five years, and then trained in the army for two years, and at this time he had become the first brain of the third standing ashigaru team. Therefore, his remarks immediately attracted the attention of the rest of the people.

"What do you mean? Reinforcements who didn't pretend to be the Zong Xiangjia took the opportunity to sneak attack Ishimaru City, Banyuan City, and Xu Fei Mountain City? Junshige Shimahara immediately wondered.

"Hmm!" Yoshiro Kawada nodded, and then glanced at everyone again before saying, "Since I have now inadvertently killed the family governor and important ministers of the Zongxiang family, and intercepted their reinforcements. Then our primary target should be changed to the White Mountain Castle of the Soxiang family. ”

"Yes, as long as we pretend to be their men and bring some of them who are willing to surrender to our ranks. We'll be able to trick the gates of White Rock City into opening them. Asakura Sodra also immediately agreed.

"It's just that the captives may not be willing to cooperate with us. In case those people pretend to surrender. And then shout as we are about to enter the city, that is dangerous. Fukuda Nobukiyo worried.

"It doesn't matter. The general peasant soldiers are very persuasive to surrender, the only obstacle is the clan members and samurai among the captives, as long as there are these people mixed in with them, those peasant soldiers will not dare to cooperate with us easily, since this is the case, then we will distinguish all the samurai and clansmen of the clan family, and then directly kill them all in front of those peasant soldiers. Yoshiro Kawada said fiercely. Due to the urgency of the time. As the saying goes, if there is a mistake in killing, these prisoners who hinder the Luo family's actions will be killed, and they will also use their heads to stage a good show for the remaining peasant soldiers.

Sodra Asakura, who was sitting opposite Yoshiro Kawada, couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart after hearing Yoshiro Kawada's suggestion. It seems that the little surnames that came out of the side of the lord Zhengliang are very powerful! Take the Kawada Yoshiro in front of him, he is brave and strategic, and he is quite ruthless when necessary, he is really a handsome material.

"In that case, what should we do after taking White Rock City?" At this time, as the main general, Ah Guda finally spoke.

"Lord Commander, if we can successfully take White Rock City. Then it is recommended to concentrate troops and pretend to be reinforcements to support Xu Feishan City to deceive the city gate there, and then join forces with the main army on the other side. Work together to take Xu Fei Mountain City. Yoshiro Kawada immediately said the plan in his heart.

"Are you worried about the Akizuki family and the Aso family?" Asakura Zongdi immediately wondered.

"Yes, if we still divide into three routes and pretend to be city reinforcements to go to Shimaru City, Banyuan City, and Xu Fei Mountain City, then our forces will be weakened. At that time, once the Aso family and the Akizuki family outside Ishimaru Castle and Sakamoto Castle do not cooperate with us, then the soldiers who entered the city would fall into a bitter battle and even become the turtle in the urn of the enemy. Even if we can win narrowly in the end, our side will suffer a lot of damage, and it is difficult to guess whether the forces of the Akizuki family and the Aso family who arrived later will have different intentions. Yoshiro Kawada explained.

"Not bad." Kawada Yoshiro said this, Asakura Sodi also immediately came to his senses, "This time the family entered the Higashi Chikuzen area, according to the agreement with the Akizuki family and the Aso family, all the territory of the Soka family is owned by the family, and you must be able to guess that even if they will not take the opportunity to occupy the territory of the Soka family, they will have a perfunctory attitude towards assisting the family to seize the castle of the Soka family, and they will definitely not die." ”

"That's right, since that's the case, I think it's better to concentrate forces first to help the lord open the gate of the eastern region of the sect portrait family, Xu Fei Mountain City, and after converging with the lord's army, then the lord will decide what to do next." Yoshiro Kawada finally said.

"Very well, let's do it that way. Yoshiro, you left behind to write a letter to the lord on my behalf, reported to the lord the situation of our wait at this time, and informed the lord of our plan, so that the lord could be in harmony with us at that time. As for the captives, I'll leave them to you. Akuda said to Yoshiro Kawada and Sodra Asakura successively. Then he yelled at the sky "beat, beat".

After a while, a big white bird flew down and landed on Aguta's shoulder, and the eagle's beak with a cold glow grinded affectionately in Aguta's ear, as if it was about to whisper to Aguta. This one is the Haidongqing "Xiaobai" that Ah Guda brought back from the Ming Kingdom back then, and the other "Xiaohei" is following Zhengliang's side.

This time, the reason why everyone was able to successfully walk out of the mountains and forests along the northern coast of the Zongxiang family was because this Hai Dongqing led the way in the sky. After entering the hinterland of the Zongxiang family, he relied on "Xiaobai" to maintain intelligence sharing with the political conscience outside, so that the political conscience could understand the situation inside the territory of the Zongxiang family, and then make targeted deployments. It also let Ah Guta and the others who were lurking inside know the situation outside in time.

After so many years of breeding, this pair of Haidongqing has raised six little Haidongqing before and after, but it will take a long time to domesticate these little Haidongqing to be as human as their parents and play the role of transmitting information. After all, "Little Black" and "Little White" were also gradually domesticated after following Aguta's side for nearly 20 years.

Just when Ah Guda and the others were racing against time to prepare for their next move, a debate was also being staged in the city lord's mansion in Xu Fei City.

"Father. And so on. The family will only follow the Zongxiang family to accompany the funeral! "In the room. Zhanbu Shang'an's sister-in-law, Zhanbu Shangzhi, admonished his father bitterly.

"Bastard, the Zongxiang family is as kind to the family as a mountain, how can the family turn its back on the Zongxiang family at this time?" Zhanbu Shangan scolded angrily at his sister-in-law.

"Humph! You will never know who Luo Dao is Zhengliang. At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties and nearly forty years old next to him suddenly spoke. This person's sitting posture was a bit strange, it seemed to be sitting cross-legged, but he was not kneeling like the two fathers and sons of Zhanbu Shang'an. He was the same Lu Ci Daoxue (that is, the historical thunder god Tachibana Daoxue) who came to woo the father and son of the Zhanbu Shangan father and son as a lobbyist of the Luo family.

On this mission, Lu Cidaoxue did not convince his brother-in-law Zhanbu Shang'an, but persuaded his nephew Zhanbu Shang'an. It's just that it's still the head of the house. And the Luo family also happened to invade the territory of the Zongxiang family at this time, so Lu Cidaoxue was temporarily placed under house arrest by Shang'an, the occupying department. Because of his kinship, although Lu Ci Daoxue was forbidden to have contact with the outside world, he was free in the Champbe family's mansion. Tonight, at the request of Zhanbu Shang'an's wife, he was going to let Zhanbu Shang'an, Zhanbu Shangzhi, and Lu Cidaoxue sit together to mediate the conflict, but the three finally quarreled.

At this time, with Lu Ci Daoxue's sudden interjection, Zhanbu Shang'an all looked at Lu Ci Daoxue. I saw the latter continue to speak: "When I was still at Otomo's house, I once sent someone to inquire about the Luo family's governor. In the next found that all the wealthy families who had been his enemies. Even if he surrenders to him in the future, he will still be suppressed to varying degrees, and as for the wealthy family who has always been his enemy, after being defeated, the men of his family will be cut down. Almost exterminated ......"

"Hmph, what do you mean by that? Is it cursing the family? After hearing this, Zhanbu Shang'an immediately interrupted Lu Ci Daoxue's words and reprimanded angrily.

"Then please tell Lord Shang An how to resist the army of the Luo family of thousands of people outside the city with just the hundreds of guards in the city who are like frightened birds?" Lu Cidaoxue asked sarcastically.

"Hmph, I have sent a messenger to the Zong family asking for help, and the reinforcements from the Zong family will come to support in the near future......"

"Ha Lu haha......" Before Zhanbu Shang'an finished speaking, he was stopped by Lu Ci Daoxue's big smile.

"Lord Shang An, you underestimate the fat eagle outside the city too much, the other party has not even attacked this city when the current army has an absolute advantage. Doesn't Lord Shang An feel strange? Judging from the experience of fighting this Hizen Eagle in the past, the other party must have a conspiracy. At that time, even if the reinforcements of the Zongxiang family arrive, I am afraid it will not help. ”

"Alarmist. In my opinion, it seems that you have been repeatedly defeated by the hands of that sneak attack eagle, causing fear of the other party, right? Chabu Shangan sarcastically said.

"Hmph. Whether it is an alarmist or not, we will definitely know in the future. It's just that I knew early in the next day that your stubbornness would lead my sister and nephew into the abyss, so I would answer the request of the Luo family and come to serve as a messenger, for the sake of my sister and nephews and nieces. ”

"Huh! Wish for the moon! Your Excellency is planning to take the opportunity to control his wife and children who live in Xia, so as to coerce Xiaxian City to surrender, right? Zhanbu Shangan sneered and refused Lu Cidaoxue's request.

"Hey! You have also seen that if you don't make up your mind, the Cham family will be ruined at your father's hands. Seeing that Zhanbu Shang'an was still stubborn, Lu Cidaoxue had no choice but to sigh and say.

"What are you in? Taro, what do his words mean? Zhanbu Shang'an heard a hint of ominousness from Lu Cidaoxue's words, so he immediately questioned his son-in-law.

But his sister-in-law Zhanbu Shangzhi looked at him steadily, his eyes seemed to be full of disappointment, hesitation and other looks, and then Zhanbu Shangzhi's eyes were cold, and he threw the wine glass on the table next to him to the ground, "clang", and the wine bowl shattered in response.

"You?" Zhanbu Shang'an was immediately taken aback by his sister-in-law's sudden move. But something even more surprising was yet to come. I saw that the wooden partition of the room was opened by someone outside, and then a few heavily armed retainers came in from outside.

"Father, your decision this time has put the family in a desperate situation, now please hand over the position of family governor, take a good rest at home, and in the future, the affairs of the family will be handled by the sons." His son-in-law, Zhanbu Shangzhi, stood up at this time and said to Zhanbu Shang'an, who was stunned on the ground.

"You...... You ......" After being frightened by the sudden change, Zhanbu Shangan finally came to his senses at this time, and immediately understood what had happened to him. He never expected that his son-in-law and retainers would be persuaded by Lu Cidaoxue, and now they would persecute him in turn, and even force him to give up the position of the governor of the family and let him live in seclusion in advance.

"Rebel! And you, all of you are rebels! Zhanbu Shang'an was immediately angry, so he stood up with a "swish" and scolded his son-in-law and retainers.

"Lord Governor, please give up the position of Governor of the Family, you are no longer fit to take on such an important position." At this time, a retainer led by the head said. After finishing speaking, he took a step forward and came behind the Zhanbu Shangzhi, expressing his support for the Zhanbu Shangzhi, and the rest of the retainers followed suit.

"Someone, give me someone!" Zhanbu Shang'an still didn't give up at this time, and immediately shouted angrily. Trying to get the guards outside the courtyard to come in and take down the people who forced him to abdicate.

As he shouted, two family guards walked in outside the house.

"Take these rebellions down on me." Zhanbu Shang'an pointed to his sister-in-law Zhanbu Shangzhi and others and shouted angrily. But to the surprise of Zhanbu Shang'an, the two guards only bowed their heads a little ashamedly after hearing his order, but they didn't make any moves.

"You...... You ......"

"Don't shout, Father, when you were still commanding the army at the head of the city to resist the attack of the Luo family, the retainers had already reached an agreement with the whole family, Father, you better give up." The occupant still said suddenly.

"Huh?" Zhanbu Shang'an was taken aback, and when the Taidao beside him "clanged" and pulled out the scabbard, the tip of the knife pointed directly at Zhanbu Shangzhi and others.

But the Zhanbu Shangzhi looked at the Zhanbu Shang'an calmly, and did not draw his sword to face him. So the two sides have faced off like this.

"Good, good!" After confronting everyone in the room for a quarter of an hour, Zhanbu Shang'an fell the sword in his hand to the ground with a "clang", and finally said the last sentence, and then collapsed directly on the floor.

Thus, a family change came to an end, and the Chambu family ushered in its new home, the governor of the Zhanbu family. (To be continued......)
