As for the marriage alliance with the Oda family, although the envoy of the Oda family had not yet arrived at the Luo family, according to the information sent back by Kizo Shigetada, the envoy of the other party had officially set off from Cheongju Castle, so Masarashi handed over the negotiation with the Oda family to the retainers of the public cabinet in advance.

In the following time, Masayo continued to sit in the southern coastal area of Bigo Kingdom, sharing the joy of family with his family members who had not seen him for a long time, and directing his family institutions to speed up the control of the newly occupied territories of Bigo and Bigo China.

Of course, things are often not so smooth, and on this day, Kato Duanzo came to the living room of the castle tower that was named by Masara as a study, knelt in the corridor outside, and when Masara came out, he immediately bowed and said, "My lord, there are some rumors in the territory that are unfavorable to my family. ”

Kato Duanzo's face was very tired at this time, as one of the leaders of the Black Hawk Ninja Army of the Intelligence Pavilion who followed Masara's side, he not only had to be fully responsible for the protection of Masara's secret domain, but also commanded his subordinates to engage in some tasks in the dark according to Masara's orders, plus during this period of time, there were many affairs in the newly occupied Bigo Kingdom and Bi China territory, so he was naturally very busy.

"Rumors, what rumors?" When Zhengliang heard this, his eyes immediately narrowed, and then he asked.

Kato Danzou immediately continued to report: "It is about the troubled people in the Bigo Province, Bigo China, and even Bizen and Misaku regions, and there are many bad rumors in these territories that the family will provide food security to a large number of rebellious people. Furthermore. Also rumors. The family will fully implement the law of agricultural tax for the six public and four people. ”

After Zhengliang heard this. His expression suddenly became stern, he understood that there was an enemy who was fighting a detailed war against his territory, and he used the detailed work to publish rumors to create trouble for himself, which was the most commonly used method of warfare in the Warring States Period except for joint warfare, and then he asked in a deep voice: "When did it start?" ”

Kato Duanzang shuddered for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "My lord, what happened in the past few days was accidentally discovered by the minister when he was on a mission in Misasaka yesterday. The minister immediately investigated it and found that these rumors were prevalent in various places almost at the same time. ”

"Hehe, to be able to spread rumors in these areas at the same time in such a short period of time, I'm afraid that there is no other daimyo here who has such strength except for that guy from Maori Yuan." Hearing this, Zhengliang clenched his fists and said with a sneer.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a conspiracy of Maori Yuan. After all, since last year, it should have been affected by the climate of the Xiaoice River, and various parts of the Warring States have been affected by natural disasters of different Cheng dù (such as the reason why the Kwantung Coalition Army of Uesugi Kenshin was finally disbanded). One of the reasons for this is that the powerful clans in the coalition led by the disaster can no longer insist on continuing to besiege the Hojo family's Odawara Castle). Due to the occurrence of a large-scale disaster, the forces of various countries from Rireong to Sanyodo Province were affected in different ways. Moreover, a large number of displaced and chaotic people have been created in various places.

And one of the reasons why Zhengliang chose to go to Luo at this time is also because of the opportunity for the weakening of the strength of the forces of Shanyang Dao caused by this disaster. However, it is clear that Māori has now taken advantage of this opportunity.

With the continuous spread of rumors, there will inevitably be a large number of chaotic people and displaced people entering the territory of the Luo family in Bigo Province and Bei Chugoku region, even if the Luo family can take the opportunity to transport these chaotic people and displaced people to Kyushu and other regions in batches to disperse and settle, but it will inevitably consume a lot of materials, which will naturally cause the loss of the Luo family during the period when grain production is reduced due to natural disasters. Presumably, this is the first goal of Maori Yuan.

It's a pity that in the past two years, in order to prepare for the great cause of Shangluo, Zhengliang has commanded the institutions in his family to secretly prepare a large amount of food and other materials in the territory, just in response to this change, although it is true that a lot of income will be lost because of this, but in the long run, with the settlement of a large number of new people, it is still beneficial to the development of the Luo family's territory.

Now, Masayo is even more worried that these local forces, such as the Maori family, will take the opportunity to blend in with these rebellious people and displaced people, and on the one hand, they will incite a large number of incidents and cause turmoil in the territory of the Luo family in the Bigo Province and Bichugoku region. You must know that with the spread of rumors, the country of Bigo, the country of China, the country of Misaku, the country of Bizen, and even other regions in the field of the country may flood into the territory of the Luo family, and the number of these people and homeless people is really comparable to a large army, once it is instigated, then it will naturally make the Luo family scramble. In this way, the Luo family's Shangluo process will inevitably be affected.

"Could it be that the family's Shangluo's intentions were also seen by that guy Maori Yuan? Or was the Mori Yuan simply an attempt to take revenge on the Bigo Province and the southern coastal region of Bigo, which had previously occupied their sphere of influence? ”

"Could it be that the family's Shangluo's intentions were so easily seen by others? First it was Oda Nobunaga, and now it's Mori Motosasa. ”

Faced with such a situation, Masashi was really a little suspicious. Moreover, in addition to attracting a large number of chaotic people and homeless people to pour into the territory of the Luo family and causing chaos, the tax laws of the six public and four people in the rumors (according to the report of the Intelligence Cabinet, the agricultural taxes of the countries in Shanyang Dao and Shanyin are basically eight public and two peasants, and the rumors of the tax laws of the six public and four people of the Luo family will inevitably lead to the flow of peasants in these areas, and the strength of these forces will be reduced), and it will also be very likely to lead to the hostility of all the powerful names around them.

"Damn fellow!" Thinking of this, Masato looked at the sky outside with a light rain and whispered to himself.

Immediately, Zhengliang took a deep breath again and said, "Immediately notify all the retainers to come and discuss." Although he had prepared a lot of supplies for Shangluo before, in order to prevent it, Masara decided to gather the nearby retainers to come again to discuss the conspiracy of Maori Motoshi this time, and take precautions.

"Yes!" Kato Duanzo immediately took the order and left.

In the corridor, Masara looked at the back of Kato Duanzo who was gradually moving away, the anger in his heart gradually calmed down, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'm still a little Maori Yuan!" I'd like to see what else you have to conspire with. ”
