The people on the mountain path were completely silent because of the sudden actions of Masayo and Kizo Shigetada.

"Your Highness, the other party reconciled with the Yomiko family behind our back, and now he is asking the family to stop the attack on the Yoruko family, which is a breach of the covenant, and we can categorically refuse," Kizo Shigetada said.

It turned out that the letter was sent by the Hirado Matsuura family about the reconciliation with the Yomiko family, and he also asked the Luo family to stop the strategy of separating the Yomiko family and the Yomiko family in a tone like the head of the family. So it's no wonder that Kizo Shigetuda is so angry.

"No" Masato was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Even if it weren't for this letter from the Matsuura family, the family would have died down for the time being. ”

"Huh? Your Highness? Kizo Shigetada thinks that the head of the family has succumbed to the Hirado Matsuura family.

"You--" Masarashi took out another letter from his bosom and handed it to Kizo Shigetada.

This letter was sent to Masarashi this morning by Togo Heiji on behalf of Onishi Kuniji. The content of the epistle is mainly to report some information about the territory, and the core is about food. After the consumption of the 8,300 stone of grain originally reserved in the territory (6,000 stone of civil and agricultural reserves, 2,300 stone of spare military funds) in the territory, as well as the needs of the territory construction in the coming months (especially when he concluded that Masato would definitely build a new simple earth rock at the mouth of the newly occupied Shiga River), it is expected that there will be less than 6,000 stone of grain left after the end of this month. There is only one meaning, that is, to tell Zhengliang that the territory is not enough to reserve food.

According to Zhengliang's plan, in order to prevent sudden natural disasters and wars, the territory must have at least 20,000 stone of grain reserves during the winter. Of course, Masara didn't count the 6,500 stone of grain that had not yet been delivered by the Shenwu family, after all, these were just reservations, before these grains entered the Luo family's warehouse. It's not really the grain that belongs to the Luo family.

Fighting a war is indeed fighting rations, and this time Masahiro fully understands the true essence of this sentence. So after a good analysis. It was decided to put a break for the time being, and to immerse himself in construction with peace of mind, relying on the monthly snow salt trade with the Kamiya family, and hoarding enough food first.

And. This time the Luo family's sudden attack, the territory of the territory has been expanded, and it is roughly estimated that the height of the territory stone is already more than 9,000 stones. Warring States period, in general. It is about 200 to 300 soldiers mobilized for every 10,000 stones, but now the Luo family is supporting nearly 300 standing troops (although most of them are upgraded peasant soldiers) with less than 10,000 grain reserves and less than 10,000 territory stone heights, plus frequent battles, from this point of view, the lord of Zhengliang seems to be a bit unarmed. If it weren't for the fact that he vigorously promoted laws that were conducive to internal affairs within the territory and the reason why most of the people in the territory were originally outcasts, it is estimated that the territory would be full of complaints now.

"Your Highness, this ......" After reading Togo Heiji's letter, Kizo Shigetada didn't seem to see the difficulties that the Luo family was currently facing. So he still asked suspiciously.

"Huh. Let's go, follow me over there" Masarashi smiled slightly, interrupted Kizo Shige's words, and took the lead towards a small hill on the side of the road.

"Yes, Your Highness" Kizo Shigezhong was slightly stunned, and then bowed and saluted.

On a hill on the side of the avenue. Masara stood at the very top, looking into the distance at what seemed to be an endless grove of trees. Behind him is Kizuku Shigetada. As well as Masayo's three close attendants, Hidemasa Akimine, and Masanao Kinoshita, and even Yoshida Shigemasa followed. Although Kinoshita Masanao is injured. However, as the lord's close attendant, he insisted on guarding Masayo's side, and Yoshida Shigemasa followed him out of curiosity.

"Chongzhong, do you wonder why I am ready to agree to the Matsuura family's request?" Masato didn't turn his head, but still looked at the mountains in the distance, and said lightly. …,

"I beg your pardon for saying that the strength of this family is second only to the Hasaka family on the Higashi Matsuura Peninsula, and even in Matsuura County, your majesty thinks that there is no need for my family to agree to this unreasonable request of the Matsuura family," Kizo Shigetadada said calmly, bowing deeply to Masahiro's back.

"Well, from the letter from the Matsuura family, it can be concluded that the Yomiko family has made concessions this time, and the Matsuura family has at least gained control of the maritime trade route of Hirado, Tsushima, and Hakata."

"In this way, the water army of the Huzi family can only retreat to the area of Huzi Bay," said Kizo Shigetada, "No, the Matsuura family controls the sea trade route, and the Huzi family retreats to Huzi Bay, so the waters where the Huzi family's water army has withdrawn will become a borderless land." Kizo Shigetadada reacted immediately.

"Yes, after the Huzi family's navy retreats, the coastal waters from Banwu Bay to Huzi Bay will become a borderless land" Masarashi nodded and said, "This water area of the Matsuura family has no time to take care of, so it is the time for the family's navy to include it in the family's territory." Masarashi spoke his inner thoughts.

"The Huzi family won't just rest on that, right? Quite a few words: "Kizo Shigetada raised questions."

"The defeat of the Huzi family this time, coupled with the civil strife in the family, is bound to be greatly reduced, and it must not take the initiative to provoke a war for a long time," Masashi said, "but the Sashi family has become a hidden danger." ”

"What?" Kizo Shigetuda didn't expect that the head of the family was not worried about the Huko family, but about the Sashi family, an ally of the family?

"There are no eternal allies, and there are no eternal enemies," Masaro looked up at the blue sky in the distance and said quietly, "After this incident, the Higashi Matsuura Peninsula has formed three opposing forces, the Yomiko family occupies the east side of the peninsula, the Sashi family occupies the south side, and the main family occupies the west and central part of the peninsula, and the strength has surpassed these two. Zuo Zhi is by no means a fool, after seeing the gradual gain of power in the family, even if he will not unite with the Yomiko family, he will stand aside and watch the death match between the Hoko family and the Huko family. If what I expected, Sachi should be coercing the small tyrants who occupied the former territory of the Sachi family to return their territory. ”

"Your Highness is wise, now that I think about it, since the start of the war, it is indeed very likely that the series of strange actions of the Sashi family will be so", Kizo Shigetada thought about it seriously and felt that what Masashi said was indeed very reasonable.

"The overlord of Matsuura-gun, the Hata, will not continue to sit idly by, and although Hatato on the Karatsu side is seriously ill, Hatamori on the Iwatake Mountain Castle will not remain motionless," Masaroshi continued. (To be continued......) ……，
