The main reason for this arrangement is that after he comprehensively reviewed the information about the Saeki family and Saeki Weijiao, Masara found that although Saeki Weijiao was a fierce general in the Otomo family, he had always been extremely cautious and even a little suspicious (and it was this kind of character that allowed him to keep his family in many wars in the history of the Otomo family).

As a later generation, Masato is very familiar with the knowledge of psychological warfare, so Masato simply arranged such a look of preparing to attack the city but not preparing to attack the city, which made Saeki Weijiao suspicious.

What's even more coincidental is that when a team of troops of the Luo family secretly looted the territory of the Saeki family, they actually captured an important minister next to Saeki Weijiao, so Masahiro simply planned to release the retainer of Saeki Weijiao, and threatened the other party to relay his words to Saeki Weijiao, otherwise they would spread rumors that it was the Luo family's meticulous work in the territory of the Saeki family.

As Masashi expected, after Yashiro went back, in order to clear the stains on his body, he really honestly relayed Masashi's words to Saeki Yuijiao, which once again increased Saeki Weijiao's doubts. Of course, even so, Masahiro still felt that it was not enough, so he deliberately let Saeki Zhenzhong escape, and what Saeki Zhenzhong said after returning to Saeki's house was also true, but it was so true and false, which made Saeki even more suspicious.

After determining that Saeki Yukyo knew that there was already a Luo family's army secretly bypassing the city and entering its rear to loot people and supplies, he still stood still, and Masaki knew that his arrangement was basically successful. Just add another handful of ingredients. The other party would never dare to attack, blocking the looting of the Luo family and the construction of fortifications.

So today Masahiro is in order to add the last batch. He designed a scene from the Saeki family who came from outside the city to escort the looted people, and the ambush soldiers in it were indeed saved, the purpose was to tell Saeki Weijiao, and there were conspiracies prepared by the Luo family waiting for him everywhere outside the city, which would naturally strengthen the decision that Saeki Weijiao could not hold on to.

After today's scene, from now on, the army of the Luo family can enter the territory of the Saeki family freely, and wantonly loot the population and material wealth. Anyway, there is only one purpose. That is, to scavenge every inch of Saeki's territory, leaving no strength for the other party.

Of course, although this series of layouts is quite troublesome, it is a strategy for Masato to attack instead of defend, otherwise once the Luo family's army does not attack the opponent's city, the other party will inevitably take the initiative to attack and meet the battle, which affects the construction of Masahiro's fortifications and the comprehensive clearing strategy of the Saeki family's territory.

Moreover, judging from the current strength of the Luo family's army, it will actually be absolutely able to defeat the Saeki family's army in the field, and even as long as Masara is willing to add a little damage, then he can capture the castle before the reinforcements from the Ito family and the Shimazu family arrive in the rear.

But. The Saeki family's castle is actually just a decoy in the eyes of Masashi, and his real target is reinforcements from the Ito and Shimazu families. Attract the opponent's main force here. Then, as much as possible, he made this place a battlefield that he was familiar with (this time the operation of clearing the field and the construction of fortifications were to arrange his own battlefield), which was the real purpose of Masayo.

As for whether the Bait Saeki family will evacuate this place and retreat to the direction of Hinata Country, so that Masara's previous arrangement will be in vain? This can be seen from the fact that Saeki Weijiao is still stubbornly against the Luo family after the collapse of the Zongjia Otomo family, although Saeki Weijiao is suspicious, but he is very stubborn in dealing with some things. And even if the other party really retreats, the army of the Luo family can completely follow and attack at this time, at least it can completely unify the territory of Fenghou Kingdom. In short, no matter what, this time the Luo family will be the one who profits.

It's just that the arrangement of Masahiro's side was successful, but Saeki Yukyo fell into trouble because of this. From the beginning of March to the end of March, Saeki Yukyo was in a state of torment.

With the continuous looting of the Luo family outside the city, at the beginning, there would be people who rushed to the city to ask for help, but as time went by, fewer and fewer people came to ask for help, and instead, there were puffs of smoke rising from all over the territory every day, and it was obvious that it was being looted by the Luo family's army.

In the face of the inner torment of the territory outside the city being constantly looted and destroyed by the other party, the anger and dissatisfaction of the samurai and soldiers whose relatives are outside the city, and even the estrangement of the retainers whose territory is outside the city, makes Saeki Weijiao feel even more frightened. In addition, the dwindling amount of food in the warehouse made Saeki even more desperate, and if it weren't for the full assistance of his younger brother Saeki Zhenzhong, it is estimated that he would have fallen long ago.

Fortunately, just when Saeki was embattled, reinforcements from the Ito and Shimazu families finally entered the border of the Saeki family. His savior has finally arrived.

"What? Meimuli City has long since fallen, and Xinna Zhongyuan is nowhere to be found? When Yoshisuke Ito, Takahisa Shimazu, and Yukyo Saeki met in the castle, Takahisa Shimazu finally learned the news of the fall of Ume Rei Castle, and was immediately shocked when he learned that there was no news of his own fierce general.

After the alliance between the three parties before, in the face of the continuous small-scale harassment and invasion of the border of the Saeki family by the Luo family, the Ito family has sent troops to support and provided a lot of material support several times, in contrast, the Shimazu family seems to have no support action, so in order to show the determination of the Shimazu family to the Saeki family against the Luo family, Shimazu Takahisa sent a team of elite members of the Shinna Tadashi to the Saeki family's fortified city of the Saeki family to assist in the defense. As a result, there is now news that Shinna Chung Yuan is missing and that the elite team has not been heard from at all.

You must know that Shinna Tadagen is not only a fierce general under his command, but also a powerful family in the Satsuma region that supports the Shimazu family, if the Shinna family learns this news, they don't know what kind of situation will happen. What's more, the loss of a team of elites has also had a lot of impact on the strength of the Shimazu family. Originally, Shimazu Takahisa thought that the city of Umu Rei was so strong, even if it was defeated by the Luo family in the wild, Shinna Tadayuan could hold on to the city and wait for the rescue of reinforcements, but now it is ......

And just when Shimazu Takahisa was thinking about the death of the fierce general, Ito Yoshisuke looked at Saeki Yukyo with a little confusion and asked: "Lord Yukyo, please forgive me for being rude, when I waited to enter your territory, I found that the villages along the way seemed to have been burned down, why is this?" ”

"Alas!" Saeki Yukyo, who was about to make a more detailed analysis of the fall of Umemurai Castle, sighed bitterly, and immediately described to Shimazu Takahisa and Ito Yoshisuke what had happened after the Luo family's army arrived at the area three miles away from the castle and set up camp.
