As the Chongliang family's forces fled, the battle ended quickly. After instructing Onishi Kuniji and Ichino to clean up the battlefield and clear the remaining enemies, Masara rode a pony to a meadow on the west side of the city. Masara didn't choose to enter Hira Castle, which had experienced several battles in one day, and there were blood stains everywhere that hadn't been cleaned up, and Masara really didn't have the interest to go in.

In front of him is a natural grassland of about 10 acres, not far away is a small stream, according to Yinuo, there is a larger natural grassland in the forest opposite the creek, and there are even wild ponies. As soon as he heard the news, Masaliang's eyes lit up, he had always had the idea of establishing a cavalry, but it was limited to horses that were too scarce and expensive, not what his current strength could afford, if he got the wild horses in the forest, although he still needed to domesticate war horses, but at least the cavalry dream took the first step. At the same time, Masara is also very satisfied with the job of Yinuo, who was temporarily appointed by himself, and in such a short period of time, he was able to obtain this information in the other party's territory, and he was able to figure out the thoughts of the head of the family, and he was indeed a capable retainer.

The little pony was munching not far from Masayo's side, and there was too much tender grass on the ground, and he was so hungry that he ran with Masayo for a long time. Watching the pony eat a lot, Masahiro smiled slightly. Thinking that it should be influenced by the game system when crossing over, Masato found that his horseback riding skills are good, although he is not proficient, but at least he can be said to be proficient, and he can even play a few superb riding and archery skills, in the two days of patrolling the territory, Masato took advantage of the time to hurry, he played a few times of riding and hunting, and by the way, he took advantage of the game to improve his nutrition.

Just as Masashi was in deep thought, Onishi Kuniji walked over quickly.

"Your Highness", Onishi Kuniji curtsied.

"Well, what's going on?" , Masara came back to his senses, looked at Onishi Kuniji and asked.

"The battlefield has been cleaned up, and Ichino is leading people to search for the rangers," reported Onishi Kuniji, "The captured peasants have been released back to their respective homes, but the ronin samurai do not know what to do with the road, and they have expressed their willingness to serve His Highness." ”

"Let them join the ashigaru team as samurai, but for the time being, Ichiroku will be the same as Ashigaru, and wait until it is confirmed that his ability and loyalty are enough to meet the samurai requirements of the family, and then give the samurai treatment to the samurai," Masarashi thought for a while and said, "In the future, all new samurai will be like this, and the samurai of the family can only be promoted from the ashigaru of the family." Tell them that I'll take care of their weapons and armor, but I'm going to do a good job for me. At the same time, in order to be repromoted to samurai, in addition to strength and loyalty, those who do not have a family in the local area must be promoted after establishing a family. "These wandering samurai are not obviously related to their own interests, and in order to strengthen their dependence on their own interests, Masara is determined to tie them to the chariot of the Luo family through his family and fields.

"Yes, Your Highness", although Onishi Kuniji didn't agree very much, and was even a little puzzled, but remembering the temperament of the lord of his family, he knew that he had decided that things were difficult to change, so he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Are all the personnel assembled?" , Masato continued to ask.

"Yes, according to His Highness's orders, 30 cloaked people and 50 ashigaru have been assembled," said Onishi Kuniji, "and all the assembled people have prepared the lunch that was left behind by the Takara family who did not have time to eat at noon. ”

"Well, then that's it, I will immediately lead them to the territory of the Oda family, it is estimated that the surrounding Haoqiang has already noticed it", Masarashi ordered, "The remaining 10 cloak people and 50 ashigaru will be handed over to you and Ichino, let me settle down here as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty promises that you will be able to settle down here tonight", Kuniji Onishi immediately said on the ground. …,

After instructing the rest of the work arrangement, Masara rode on a pony and led the people who had already gathered to hurry to the original Oda family's territory......

Time goes back an hour ago. Jiubao Castle City, which is home to a long time.

"You're saying that the Oda family suddenly sealed off the checkpoint with the main family, and no one is allowed to enter or leave?" , The head of the family for too long, the one-armed Taikubo asked.

"Yes, my lord, the little ones have been driven out several times when they have tried to enter," Ashigaru said.

"Damn Oda Taimitsu, what is he going to do, he has lost the news from the people over there since yesterday", said Yoshiyoshi Okubo's son, Haruharu Okubo, angrily.

"Oh no, something must have happened over there. Taro, immediately lead 100 peasant soldiers to Oda's house and test it", Taikubo Yoshi, who was frowning, suddenly said, "Oda Taimitsu must be forced to reopen the checkpoint, and it is really not okay for him to let Ling Ji and Mu Nimaru go back to his mother's house to visit relatives." ”

"Yes, Father-sama", realizing the seriousness of the matter, Taikubo Haru, who had always been careless, did not dare to slack off, and immediately took the order.

When Masara led the troops to the territory of the Hara Oda family, Tairasataro had already led dozens of old and weak peasant soldiers to confront the Taijiu family's troops at the border checkpoint of the territory for more than half an hour.

Seeing the old and weak soldiers in the checkpoint, the originally nervous Taikubo Harushi immediately became arrogant, sent people to constantly shout and scold outside the checkpoint, and even attacked the checkpoint several times, and was repelled by Hirasataro himself after the end. The two sides are already tense, and a big war is about to break out.

But the problem is that the Luo clan is responsible for guarding these checkpoints, which are some old and weak peasant soldiers who have been temporarily recruited, how can they resist the full attack of the other party, just when Heisataro was anxious, Masara arrived in time.

"Hmph, I don't know what to do, come here, give me all the strength to attack. I want to see why Taimitsu Oda, the turtle, has become so bold that he doesn't even take his family in his eyes. Taikubo Haru pulled out his sword and waved it forward, shouting.

"Whoosh", Taikubo Haru, who was proud of his posture, saw a long arrow stuck in front of him less than a step forward, and immediately fell to the ground in fright, and the peasant soldiers who were about to rush forward to kill according to the order were also stunned.

At this time, a group of 30 samurai in white cloaks rushed out of the heavily guarded checkpoint, and then a young man who looked to be only about 17 or 18 years old walked out. As the young man walked, he smiled and said, "Are you the one who is called the rat of the Taijiu family?" ”

"You... You... What did you say? He hates others to call him like this, every time he hears someone secretly call him so in the territory, he will try his best to torture those people to death, and now he suddenly saw a little hairy boy actually call himself like this to his face, and he was immediately furious, and immediately prepared to order another order to attack the opponent, capture the little hairy boy alive and then torture him for three days and three nights, and then tied up and threw him into the river to feed the fish.

"Whoosh", before Takubo Haru could order again, Masarashi raised his hand and shot another arrow at Takuboharu. "Wow", the long arrow was inserted into the ground less than half a foot away from Taijiu Baoqing, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly. Haruharu hurriedly crawled backwards, her legs trembling.

"Hmph, it's a failure for your cheap dad to send you here", Masarashi said disdainfully, "Go back and tell Taikubo Yoshi, the Oda family no longer exists, and now there is only the Luo family here." ”

"What?" , Taikubo Haruharu exclaimed, obviously unable to believe the words of the little hairy boy opposite.

"Get out! If you don't roll again, this arrow will be stuck in you", Masayo shouted, and the 30 cloaked people behind him immediately pulled out their swords, shouted, and walked forward. On the white cloak, there were still traces of blood clearly visible, and it was clear that these people had just experienced a killing. …,

The peasant soldiers of the Taijiu family had experienced such a formation, and before they could wait for Taijiu Baoqing's order, they began to retreat one after another.

"You, you...", Taikubo Haru was also frightened by the murderous samurai opposite, especially when he saw that the little hairy boy raised his bow and arrow to aim at him, and before he finished speaking, he immediately got up, turned around and ran back. The young master has run away, so we should run even more, and the forces of the Taijiu family will be scattered in an instant.

Looking at the enemy troops that were gradually moving away, Masaliang took a deep breath, not that Masato was afraid of death and didn't want to fight, but it was really the strength of his own family that had already been at the end of the crossbow after repeated fierce battles, as long as the other party had an impact, it was estimated that the troops that Masayo had just brought would be defeated. In desperation, Zhengliang had no choice but to make this decision. What Ling Zhengliang didn't expect was that the other party led the troops for too long, so the next policy instantly became the best policy.

In the afternoon of the same day, the 30 cloaks and 50 ashigaru led by Masarashi officially took over the territory and defense of the former Oda family, and at the same time, the first line of defense from the coast of Lake Fujidaira to the Oda family originally conceived by Masara was formally formed, and on the left of the line was 50 standing ashigaru led by Tsuda Hiromune, and on the right was 30 samurai and 50 standing ashigaru led by Masara, of course, when the situation stabilized, this place will be taken over by Onishi Kuniji, and Masara will lead 30 samurai back to the lord's mansion in Notakayama.

In accordance with Masara's instructions, Hirasataro led 100 old and weak peasant soldiers who had been temporarily assembled to assist the people in the former Oda family's domain to move to the castle town of Fujihei Castle to settle down, and the 100 peasant soldiers would each receive 1 bucket of miscellaneous grain as a reward when they returned there, and then disbanded them on the spot and returned home, while Hirasataro stayed in Fujidaira Castle to take charge of daily affairs. They were accompanied by 3 spies of the Taijiu family, the Nakoshi family, and the Sashi family who were imprisoned in the cells of Nakao Castle, as well as the 2 maids who had originally married into the Oda family with Taijiu Ling. It seems that Oda Taimitsu is not confused at all, at least he knows the situation in his own territory well, and in order to prevent these people from reporting the news, Oda Taimitsu imprisoned them all before marching to Hira Castle. The 3 spies, Masara did not hesitate to include them in the slave army of the territory, and the 2 maids asked them to directly find Taijiu Ling, who had settled in the castle town of Fujihei Castle. Under the repeated persuasion of the retainers, although the heart was extremely unbearable, the son of Ling who was only a few months old for a long time was still tacitly approved by Masato to return Onishi Kuniji to the Oda family two days ago, and when Masara arrived here today, he had already been killed. Although Hirasataro's report was secretly killed by someone sent by the Chongliang family, the political conscience vaguely felt that it was his own retainers who did it, and their purpose was to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and there were too many things in this era that led to the destruction of the entire family because of a moment of soft-heartedness. It's not easy to be angry about the behavior of his retainers, but for too long Ling, Zhengliang is full of guilt.

Speaking of which, the Oda family is too poor, similar to the situation in Komaki Village. In the entire Nakao Castle, only about 60 stone of miscellaneous grain was found, and not even a copper coin could be found. It's no wonder that after seizing Hira City, those farmers and soldiers of the Oda family began to loot frantically, and of course, the Luo family was cheapened in the end. Even after Masarashi issued an order to forcibly relocate the people of the former Oda family's domain to the castle town of Fujidaira Castle, and at the same time compensate each family with 1 stone of miscellaneous grain, there was no disturbance similar to that caused by the forced relocation of Fujidaira Castle. At first, Masara felt very strange, and he needed to know that the peasants of this era were generally unable to leave their homeland, but when he saw the scrawny people, he understood everything, and for them, the current situation, as long as there was food, let them go there. In order to appease the frightened lords, Masarashi himself told them that most of the men who had gone out with their original lord were safe, and promised that when they arrived at their new home, those who had gone out would soon come to join them.

Standing on the earthen wall of Nakao Castle, looking at the large group of people and horses that were gradually moving away, Masahiro sighed in his heart. The peasants of that place are the most honest and silent, and they will endure even the greatest hardships, and then survive like tenacious weeds. With the departure of the last of the lords, the entire Oda family's territory became a real military camp, and there was no one else except the Luo family's troops.

In the evening, Onishi Kuniji and Togo Heiji came to Nakao Castle together under the protection of 10 cloaked people, and they were accompanied by a guest who was familiar to Masahiro.
