The weather in the middle of winter is not cold, and there is a small stream in the valley where the water is still not frozen. In the forest, although most of the leaves of the trees are bare trunks, there are also a number of winter plants that still have green leaves, and due to the different kinds of light and nutrients, as well as the participation of wild grasses and vines, it creates a unique winter wild scenery, which is very pleasing to the eye. Because of the topography in the valley, the blue sky is even more lofty, and the white clouds are dotted in the meantime, bringing out an indescribable leisurely and tranquil.

Suddenly, a small black dot faintly appeared in the depths of the clouds, and gradually the black dot became bigger and closer, and it turned out to be a vigorous chestnut goshawk. It soared through the sky like a king patrolling his land, its wings lowering and casting a shadow of death on the ground.

"Poof!" Probably unable to stand the mental pressure, a fat pheasant flew out of the withered yellow grass where it was hiding and was exposed to the sun. The "delicious" goshawk that suddenly appeared did not seem impatient, but gradually folded its wings and approached its prey, in addition to the sound of the wind passing by its wings, it also brought a crisp bell sound. The pheasant seemed to realize its folly, and tried to flap its short wings towards a thorn.

"Whoosh~~Puff!" At that moment a feathered arrow flew over, and the pheasant fell to the ground.

"Your Highness is good at archery!" Ahri ran over and lifted up his prey.

"Take it and get some good mud by the river." Masarashi said after handing the longbow in his hand to Murakami Buyoshi behind him.

"Yes!" Ahri and Feiduan happily received the order. Since the "beggar chicken" was launched in the gourmet house jointly established by Tai Jiuling and Zhengliang's family members, it immediately became popular in the Luo family's territory. Many people in the territory flock to Notakan Mountain or the "gourmet house" of Kishigake Castle to taste this delicacy. And Ahri and Feiduan are even more crazy fans of this "beggar chicken". Now they are preparing to brew this game according to the method of political and good religion.

"Hey! It's a bit boring! Masato sighed secretly. On the third day after the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet of the Luo family, after arranging all the affairs of the territory, Masarashi led a team of 100 cloaked people and a low-ranking samurai team of 300 people, accompanied by military division Shinnosuke Akabane, cavalry generals Isono Yuanmasa, Akimine Hidemasa, Akuta, Kato Danzo, Ahri, Hidan, and Kumon Shigetada, along Sefukuji Castle, Lingbe Castle, Katsuo Castle, and then entered Chikuzen Province, and finally arrived at Ouchi Ietaka Yamajo Castle at the junction of Chikuzen Province and Bunzen Province. After that, he is about to embark on the journey of the Ouchi family's strategy against the Niko family.

At this moment, the powerful people from Chikuzen and Toyozen are gathered. They all came in response to Yoshitaka Ouchi's call. Don't look at these guys on the surface, they are actually fighting in secret. Many families who hate each other are playing each other's minds. And the Luo family, which rises like a star, is the focus of these heroes. Especially after seeing the uniform weaponry and dress of Roche Fanna. The Luo family has become the focus of discussion.

In the face of such a situation, in order to deceive the heroes, especially the Ouchi family, Masara led the team to the wild mountains and forests to hunt under the advice of the military advisor Shinnosuke Akabane. This move really received a lot of results, and some Haoqiang shook their heads after seeing Zhengliang's move. I can't help but comment in my heart: deliberately more high-end equipment than others, coupled with a performance of "playing in the mountains and rivers", it is set off. It's a nouveau riche. This "Fat Front's Eagle" is obviously showing off.

And Zhengliang didn't care about these discussions, and he really started hunting seriously. Secretly. On the one hand, he sent people to step up the topographical map along the road to provide information for the simulated sand map of the Luo family, and on the other hand, he sent people to investigate the information of the various heroes who participated in the strategy of the Nizi family this time, and tried to know himself and his opponent.

"Your Highness doesn't seem to be used to this kind of life." Shinnosuke Akabane, who was on the side, said with a smile after seeing Masayo's expression.

"Hmm!" Masaro let out a response from his throat. Suddenly detached from the busy work of the past, and suddenly lived a few days that were a little too leisurely, which made Zhengliang feel very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, Your Highness, there is no way to do it!" Shinnosuke Akabane said with a smile. "This family has been too conspicuous recently, and if it is not covered up a little, it will definitely become the target of other heroes."

"It seems that you can't pretend to be one!" Masara sighed. What a shot at the head! This doctrine of later generations was applicable even in that era. Besides, the family has been too capable of tossing recently, first a big battle with the coalition organized by the Shao Er family, and almost drove the famous Shao Er family, who had dominated the fat for hundreds of years, out of the fat front. even replaced the young two family to become the head of a country in Hizen.,And then at the risk of offending the Ouchi family.,And the traditional retainer of the Ouchi family, the Harada family.,The last thing is to forcibly get the bridgehead into Chikuzen, Fukae Yue Castle.。 The Luo family's move can really be described as plucking the feathers on the tiger's head. So it's not good that the Luo family doesn't want to be the focus of attention.

Warring States period. The excessive weakness of the family will be regarded as a piece of "fat pork" by the surrounding Haoqiang, and everyone wants to come over and take a bite; But the clan behaves aggressively and is seen as a threat by the powerful around them, so they band together to weaken you. Therefore, it must be realized in moderation. What Zhengliang has to do now is to reduce the attention of others to the Luo family. After all, the history of the Luo family is only two years, and the background is insufficient. We must take the opportunity to bury our heads in development.

"Does Your Highness think that there are a little less hunting grounds here? And the prey is also limited? Shinnosuke Akabane continued.

"Hmm!" Compared to the hunting grounds of the mountains near Kishigaku Castle, the hunting grounds here are indeed a bit small. The prey was nothing more than pheasants, hares, or the like, and there was not even a single boar's footprint.

"What about you?" Speaking of this, Shinnosuke Akabane paused deliberately, and then continued, "Are you planning to make the whole world your hunting ground?" ”

"Hmm...... Well? Masaro finally raised his eyelids and looked at Shinnosuke Akabane. His eyes suddenly became refreshed.

"Your Highness, although your subordinates did not follow Your Highness from the beginning of His Highness's achievements. But in just two years, the family has changed from an unknown small wealthy family in Hizen to the guardian of Hizen, and has mastered a country. Shinnosuke Akabane changed his idle demeanor, and his expression suddenly became serious and said, "Your Highness, the retainers are willing to follow Your Highness, in order to survive in this troubled world, and even get greater merits, so that the family can continue for a long time." Therefore, after following His Highness to obtain a country, they will also hope for greater merit. ”

"A greater feat? What do you mean? ”

"Look at the various daimyos. In the western country, the Hosokawa family, the Ouchi family, and the Otomo family were all overlords for a while, and His Majesty hoped that His Highness could become such an existence, which was also the wish of all the retainers. Shinnosuke Akabane said with a solemn salute.

"Do you want to use the whole of Kyushu as the hunting ground of the Luo family?" Masahiro muttered to himself. Regarding this issue of the retainers, Zhengliang really hasn't seriously considered it. When he first came here, Masahiro's only purpose was just to survive in this troubled world. As the Luo family gradually became stronger, the requirements for survival became higher and higher. Now, after becoming the head of a country, the retainers in the family have new ambitions.

But after thinking about it, Masato also felt that it was normal for the retainers to have such thoughts. They follow you. Those who fight for your life and death are just for the sake of meritorious service. In order to let the family continue to be rich and prosperous. And the greater the power of the head of the family, the more advantageous their situation becomes. Besides, even if the Luo family doesn't plan to join in the troubled waters of the strife, will others allow it? Where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes. Until the whole country is reunified, such strife will not be reduced. In this case, instead of passively participating, it is more advantageous to actively participate and take the initiative into your own hands? Thinking of this, Masahiro couldn't help but find out sadly. Sometimes, wars are not actually provoked by people on their own initiative, but because of the surrounding environment, and in general, history is so. Even if you try to stand still, the wheel of history continues to follow its established trajectory, even dragging you forward.

"Nope. Your Highness, your hunting ground is this world! Shinnosuke Akabane reminded. In his opinion, the stage of Kyushu is too small, and the current head of his own family should be this world.

"Nosuke! This stage of the world. It's still too big for a family with less than one country. Let's be pragmatic. For now, let's try our skills on the stage of Kyushu! Masato looked at the sky in the distance and said slowly. Rhetoric is matched by strength. With the current strength of the Luo family, let's think about how to earn our own world in Kyushu. Thinking of this, Zhengliang couldn't help but suddenly have some ambitions.

"In this case, Your Highness, this time to support the Ouchi family's strategy against the Nizi family, this family has a lot to do." Shinnosuke Akabane said.

"Oh?" Masarashi turned his head to look at Shinnosuke Akabane.

"Your Highness's primary purpose on this trip is to appease the suspicion of the overlord of the Ouchi family with actions, right? Not only does the family now control most of Hizen's land, but they have just extended their power into Chikuzen, so it's impossible for the Ouchi family not to be suspicious of the family. But unexpectedly, for the mediation of the matter of Fukae Yue Castle, the Ouchi family actually acquiesced to the fact that the family had occupied the castle, which was obviously inseparable from the support and execution of His Highness this time. Shinnosuke Akabane said.

Masarashi nodded, motioning for Shinnosuke Akabane to continue.

"In addition, although the family has arranged for the investigation to strengthen the investigation of the intelligence of the powerful before and after the building, this is far from being comparable to the close observation of these powerful people, and the family can also take a good look at the situation of these powerful people through this time."

"Hmm!" Masarashi nodded. Don't look at the fact that Masahiro only brought 400 people with him this time, in fact, in the shadows, there are a lot of Black Hawks and Detectives secretly following. In addition to secretly protecting Zhengliang, they also have the task of exploring Haoqiang's intelligence, drawing topographical maps along the way, and even some temporary tasks arranged by Zhengliang.

"In this way, Your Majesty is really looking forward to this trip!" Shinnosuke Akabane, who received an affirmative reply from Masayo, said, "Your Majesty believes that you will definitely see a lot of interesting things when you follow His Highness this time." ”
