In fact, Masato was both satisfied and dissatisfied with Saeki Zhenzhong's cousin.

The so-called satisfaction is naturally satisfied with the series of things he had done as the dark chess of the Luo family. The reason why Masarashi's layout of the southern Kyushu strategy was able to proceed smoothly was that Saeki Zhentada also played a great role in it. Such an achievement is naturally indelible, and Saeki Zhenzhong himself will also receive sufficient military merit rewards according to the law of the Luo family.

And the so-called dissatisfaction is mainly because Masarashi had hoped that he could continue to lurk in Saeki's house, and then retreat with Saeki Weijiao, and at the last moment, he gave Saeki Weijiao and others a fatal blow in the back. It's just that for Masahiro's request, Saeki Zhenzhong objected. In the letter, he politely turned to Masahiro and said that he was really ashamed of betraying his brother, and he asked to stay in the city and contribute to the Luo family the blocking army that the coalition forces had left behind. As for the pursuit after that, he didn't want to fight his brother Saeki Yukyo directly.

Considering that Saeki Zhenzhong was still in the enemy camp at the time, in order to avoid wasting some of the previous layout of Mashiro because of his refusal of the other party's request, Masarashi had no choice but to agree to the other party's request, so there was a surrender scene tonight.

Of course, Masaki knew that there were indeed reasons why Saeki Zhentada felt ashamed for betraying Saeki's religion, but the main reason for his objection was because he was afraid of death. After all, the previous series of actions had actually frightened him, and now that he had the opportunity to escape from this predicament immediately, he naturally hurried to seek to get out.

For Saeki Zhenzhong's greed for life and fear of death. Masahiro did not point out directly. After all, if it weren't for Saeki Zhenzhong's shortcomings. Then he will not take the initiative to surrender to the Luo family. It's just that for this kind of retainer, he can't be given a heavy responsibility, so Masara has planned to arrange him to the general position of the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, and arrange a strong retainer as his boss, so as to force him to work hard.

Poor Saeki Zhenzhong, at this time he didn't know that he had lost the opportunity to be reused because of his greed for life and fear of death in the end. Of course, it may be for him to be able to maintain a prosperous life in peace and security. That's enough.

In this way, after meeting with Saeki Zhenzhong and others, Masato immediately made a new arrangement. First of all, it was arranged for Asakura Muneya to lead a team of troops, and with the assistance of Saeki Zhenzhong, he immediately rushed to Saeki Home Castle to use the castle. Anyway, at this time, there are only women and children, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled left in the city, and with the help of Saeki Zhenzhong and others, it should be able to take the city smoothly. With the fall of the castle, the last territory in the southern part of Bungo Prefecture's Kaibe County will also be declared to be included in the territory of the Luo family, and from then on, the Luo family will truly and completely own the territory of six of the nine countries of Kyushu Island.

Secondly, Masarashi left Kamiyo Shengli, Roshi Masamune, Ueda Shinji and others responsible for receiving the newly surrendered hundreds of Saeki family troops. After these people are reunited with their families in the future, they will be dispersed and arranged to settle in the rest of the Luo family, and the newly acquired Saeki family territory will be resettled by displaced people who have fled from outside the Luo family's territory.

Dispose of it this way. It will prevent the old forces from adding resistance to the rule of the Luo family in the local area. In fact, due to the looting and destruction of the temple (even the temple shrine was not spared), it has become a blank slate. This will be very beneficial to the Roche family's local reception.

And not long after Masato gave the order to take over. The personnel of the Interior Pavilion and the Military Pavilion in the Kurusugawa Honjin are already discussing how to directly take over the local territories and the general lords abandoned by the Saeki family in the local area tomorrow.

In the end, Masarashi personally led an army of more than 7,000 people with Kansuke Yamamoto, Yoshioka Nagamasa, Ander, Yamazaki Yoshimori, Yoshida Shigemasa, Takeuchi Hisamori, Akuta, Calais Toonao, Hirochu Takasuke, Ishi Tomohisa, Yoshikawa Kokei, Kazuhito Shintsu, Kalai Naritsune, Akao Kentane, Noda Nagabo, Narimatsu Nobukatsu, Honda Toshimasa, Liu Ye, Akimine Hidemasa and others to the mountain road leading to the northern part of Hyuga Province in Bungo Province.

"My lord, the enemy army has all entered the mountain road half an hour ago." When Masayo's army arrived near the entrance of the mountain road, a Black Hawk ninja from his own family, who had been hiding nearby to monitor the entry and exit of the mountain road, came to report.

"Hmm." Hearing this, Zhengliang nodded, then looked at one of the people in the temporary tent and said, "In that case, then the fortification at the entrance will be handed over to you, Junzheng!" ”

"Yes, please rest assured." As a logistics general, Honda Toshimasa, who has long been familiar with many combat fortifications, immediately received the order.

Just as Honda Jun was receiving the order, a boy behind him who looked to be only about eleven looked excited. This person is Honda Toshimasa's sister-in-law, Nabe Nosuke, who was accepted as a small surname by Masayo because of his intelligence in his childhood. The so-called tiger father has no dog son, whether it is by the side of Masato or in the Luo Academy, Nabe Nosuke has shown the potential to become a good general.

So later, Masato also gave a "loyalty" word to the pot nosuke, and in the future, he will be named Honda Tadashikatsu. This time, it was because of Masarashi's personal permission that he was able to follow his father and attend a general military assessment meeting, which allowed him to see the real battlefield.

He had already personally participated in the logistics tasks that his father was in charge of several times before, and now that his father was given another mission, he himself would be able to participate in the mission again, so he was naturally very happy at a young age.

"Liu Ye, Xiuzheng, you and the other two should stay." After arranging Honda Toshimasa's mission, Masahiro ordered Liu Ye, the weapon manager, and Ming Feng Xiuzheng, a medical engineer with the army, to temporarily stay in the rear to assist Honda Toshimasa in commanding the sappers to quickly build fortifications. The two of them immediately received their orders.

As for the main reason for building fortifications at the entrance of the mountain road, it was mainly because Masarashi was prepared for defeat before the battle, and if he was defeated by the tripartite alliance of the Shimazu family, the Ito family, and the Saeki family after entering the mountain road, Masarashi could also lead the army back to the mountain road entrance in time, and then besiege the other party in the mountain road with the fortifications at the mountain road entrance. After all, once the other party learned that the army of the Luo family was chasing after them quickly, it was really possible that the trapped beast would give Zhengliang's army a heavy blow. This is a precautionary move by Masashi just in case.

"Okay, the rest of the people will lead their respective teams and enter the mountain road according to the previous arrangement." Finally, Masato ordered.

"Oh!" A high-morale response rang out in the makeshift tent. (To be continued......)
