"Strategist, how do you think the family should deal with this matter at the moment?" After completely calming down, Masarashi decided to listen to Kansuke Yamamoto's opinion before making a final decision.

"My lord, in the current situation, we should first ensure the foundation of our family." Kansuke Yamamoto said bluntly.

"Did you return to the territory first to quell the rebellion? However...... reason told Masato that he should indeed immediately deal with the rebellion within the territory at this time, but he was always emotionally unwilling.

Yes, now is really a great opportunity for the Luo family. As long as you fight hard, then the central and northern parts of the Higo country are likely to fall into the pockets of the Luo family. How is it that the almost cooked pigeon flies away like this?

"My lord, at this time, the main army of the family is concentrated in Higo, and at the border of Hizen and the eastern part of Chikugo, the third and fourth standing ashigaru teams of the family are in a confrontation with the army of the Otomo family, and the first standing ashigaru team is stationed in Tahei Castle on the coast of Higo Shimahara Bay, and the only area that can be taken into account is Minami Hizen. In this expedition, half of the troops of the second, fifth, and sixth standing ashigaru teams were recruited, so in fact, the only troops that could be mobilized in the territory of the family were the naval forces in the coastal zone, and the garrison troops who could only ensure the safety of the border fortresses in the territory. Kansuke Yamamoto analyzed.

"Is it possible to recruit peasant soldiers on the spot?" Masato frowned. He really didn't want to give up on the good situation of the fat queen.

"My lord, I am afraid that this move will arouse the vigilance of those who are hiding in the darkness to rebel. And now that the spring ploughing season is about to begin, once the peasant soldiers are recruited, it will affect the harvest of the territory this year. The people will also complain about it. I am afraid that this will become an opportunity for the conspirators to incite the people. Kansuke Yamamoto said.

"Besides. Even if the family would rather let go of this opportunity to destroy the rebels in the territory in one fell swoop and recruit peasants and soldiers on the spot to ensure the internal stability of the territory, so that the main army of the family can stay here, but, my lord, will the family be able to quickly pacify the rest of Higo after pacifying Kikuchi County? Seeing that Masato had not yet made up his mind, Kansuke Yamamoto continued to advise.

"Seeing that the rainy season is about to begin, the power of the iron cannon that the family relies on will definitely be affected, and it will be repeatedly persecuted by the family. It is difficult to guarantee that the wealthy family will not break the net with the family, and even if the family wins, I am afraid that it will hurt a lot, and even form a long-term confrontation with the family after the fat. His Majesty thought that at this time, the family should first consider completely controlling the territory they had occupied, and at the same time take the opportunity to eliminate the rebels in the territory. Kansuke Yamamoto said.

After Yamamoto Kansuke said this, Masayo completely came to his senses. As Kansuke Yamamoto said, even if the Luo family eventually occupies the central and northern regions of Higo, they will not only suffer a certain degree of damage, but will even fall into Higo's procrastination war because of this. And the longer it drags on. It will be more and more detrimental to the stability in the Luo family's territory, and after the Otomo family recovers. They will even more likely to send troops again to fight the Ross family after fattening. No one can predict what the outcome will be after reaching the end. What makes Masato even more sober is that, according to historical records, this year is a typhoon-prone period, and fighting in such weather will affect both the offensive and defensive sides, and the impact on the attacking side will be even greater, which also brings uncertainties to the next Higo strategy.

One is the opportunity to stabilize the territory and eliminate the rebels from within, and the other is not entirely sure that the opportunity to occupy the central and northern parts of Higo can be fully achieved. Now it is obvious that it is impossible to do both, so Masahiro must make a choice.

"If that's the case, let the cavalry team secretly return to Chikugo first." In the end, Masato chose to ensure the safety of the territory first.

In fact, looking at his own strategy all along, Zhengliang thinks that he is a family governor who advocates a steady and steady strategy. This can be seen from the layout of the Fat Go Raiders. The first thing I often think of is to keep what I have gotten, and it is this kind of thinking that makes Masahiro make the final choice. Of course, Masashi also knows that he sometimes pursues step by step too much, thus losing his sharpness, such as this time the Fat Queen's strategy, if he chooses the strategy of rapid pursuit and fierce pursuit, then maybe when encountering civil strife within the territory today, there will be many more places to maneuver and choose. It's just that no one can say for sure, and only after trying it can you know the way, after all, war is always full of too many unknowns.

"This is very good, the horse riding team can quickly support all parts of the territory through the marching road that the family has already built." Kansuke Yamamoto agreed, "It's just that the rest of the team, I'm afraid it can only be withdrawn gradually." ”

"Hmm!" Masarashi nodded. At this time, it is indeed not appropriate to make excessive military movements, first, to avoid arousing the vigilance of the rebels hiding in the dark, and secondly, to avoid attracting the attention of the Higo coalition army and even the Kikuchi army in the castle.

Later, Masarashi consulted with Yamamoto Kansuke in the military tent on a specific strategy to deal with the rebellion within the territory.

The day passed quickly. On the second day, while Masayo was in full swing preparing to return to Hizen. Someone else has come to the Luo family.

This time it was Kikuchi Yoshitake's envoy who came. And the messenger is the famous Sagara Miyachi Shosuke Nagayui. Although Sagara Nagayui was only a small wealthy family in Higo Yatsushiro County, he was also an important figure in Higo due to his excellent diplomatic skills (he mediated several disputes between daimyo several times) and business skills (he was an important figure in the Ouchi family's trade with the Ming Dynasty, and his family's business even reached the Ryukyu area).

The arrival of Sagara Nagayui also expressed the hope of the Kikuchi family that the Luo family would turn hostility into jade silk. After knowing the intention of Sagara Nagayui, Masahiro couldn't help but smile.

According to Kikuchi Yoshitake's historical description and Masara's personal observation of him, Kikuchi Yoshitake is a person who perseveres and is good at pretending to be a "grandson" in Masaara's view.

The so-called perseverance is manifested in history, he has been defeated by the Otomo family several times, but he still persevered in insisting on the ideal of revitalizing the former prestige of the Kikuchi family, was defeated, and soon stood up again, and so on several times, and finally after the new governor of the Otomo family, Otomo Yoshizhen, exiled him to Tsushima Island, plus he was already old, and he was completely stopped.

As for pretending to be a "grandson", it is manifested in the face of strong forces, he will always behave appropriately and obediently, so as to give himself a respite and a chance to develop and grow again. Now, it is clear that he has once again put his "grandson" to the end. (To be continued......)
