Chapter 526: Rumors Spread

At this time, Detian Masato was indeed considering whether to pretend to agree to Masayo's request first, and then find an opportunity to escape after returning to the city. But Masaliang's next words made him directly dispel his thoughts.

"In order to ensure the safety of your clansmen, while escorting you back to Jomura Castle, our family will send a team to relocate all your clansmen under Jomura to Chikugo."

"Poof!" After hearing this, Izuda Masato fell to the ground again, and then said with a little trembling: "Your Majesty will definitely be able to complete the task of the lord." At this time, he had already decided to take refuge in the Luo family. Although he didn't know if Masahiro, who was sitting on the marching horse, would agree to his euphemistic request, he thought of his sister-in-law, who was not yet ten years old at home, so he decided to take a risk.

"Very good, I'm afraid you don't mention the conditions." When he understood that Izuda Masadon's words were asking him for conditions, Masato smiled to himself. If Ideta Masato readily agreed to Masahiro's request, then Masara was really a little worried about sending this guy back to the city, you must know that this is the Warring States Period, and many cold-blooded people will not even take care of the clansmen in order to survive, so even if Masara controls Detian Masato's family and clansmen, he may not be able to ensure that Detian Masato will act sincerely.

And now that Izuda Masato has put forward the conditions, it just shows that he still cares more about his life and death, and he also cares about his family and clansmen, so such a person is much easier to control.

After understanding Ideta Masato's concerns, Masarashi said solemnly: "Please rest assured, if you are damaged in the city, village, and city, then your family and clan will be properly settled, and the matter will be completed." You can take charge of your family's farming. ”

"Yes. Your Majesty will definitely complete the task of the lord. After receiving a reply from Masayo. Detian Masado said immediately. Although he still hoped that Masato would provide a written letter of appointment to ensure that Masato would not be crossed the river and the bridge was demolished, after thinking about it, he gave up. Now it's a man-made knife and I'm a fish, and it's a bit too much to mention such a condition.

After ordering someone to secretly escort Tian Zhengdong back to Chengcun City, Masahiro found the generals and ordered a series of orders.

The first order was to have Watanabe keep the two checkpoints between Yamaga County and Kikuchi County. No one is allowed to enter or leave these two checkpoints without the instructions of the political authorities. This mainly prevents some people from taking the opportunity to enter Yamaga County to instigate, and also prevents some local small wealthy families from fleeing into the mountains of Yamaga County to hide in desperation.

The second order was to order Tomohisa Oishi, Taketori Snake Ranmaru, Tadao Mitsuryūtoshi and others to lead the army to begin to wipe out all the routs in the Rybu family and the castle family's territory. Masayo didn't want these deserters to return to the coalition camp and become a boost to the Higo coalition again. is even more reluctant to let these deserters hiding in the mountains and wilderness become a hidden danger in the rear of the Luo family, if these people regroup, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack the Luo family's grain route, it will definitely not be a good thing.

The third order was to start attacking the castle and village castle that was still holding on, with Shinnosuke Akabane as the main general and Enjoji Nobuyin as the deputy general.

Geographically, both Yumachi Castle and Jomura Castle could flank the Luo family's camp from both the flank and the rear, and in order to ensure a full-scale attack on the remaining Haoqiang in Kikuchi County, Masarashi finally gave up his plan to attack the Higo coalition army with victory. Instead, clean up all the hidden dangers behind you and on both sides before marching.

After such a toss, a few more days passed.

March 18, 14th year of astronomy. After several days of cage fighting, the city's main city, Chengcun City, finally fell. The turning point in the siege war occurred when the castle family's important retainer Izuta Masato staged a coup d'état, taking the castle's new governor, Jo Qinxian, under control, and then coercing the die-hard soldiers who defended the castle to surrender. At this point, the Haoqiang Castle family in the northern part of Kikuchi County finally surrendered to the Luo family.

"You can send this cup of poisoned wine to Cheng Qinxian with your own hands, after his death, the family character of the city family will be inherited by you, and you will be Cheng Zhengdong in the future, and I will send someone to report this matter to Kyoto." The territory of the castle family will be transferred to the Yamamon County of Chikugo, and the knowledge will be 600 stones. After listening in detail about the battle of the castle and village, Masara said to Ideta Masato, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Swear allegiance to the Lord!" Detian Zhengdong, who had been renamed Cheng Zhengdong, was very excited at this time, but he didn't expect that he would really get such a rich reward for taking the risk this time. The legitimacy of the castle family, this is much more noble than his original family character, and this inheritance will be recognized by the shogunate and the imperial court, how can this not make him ecstatic? As for the city pro-sage who was about to be poisoned, he had already been thrown out of the clouds.

After sending away the castle Masashi, Masarashi turned his head to look at Yamamoto Kansuke on the side and asked, "What happened to the camp of the Qingpu coalition army?" ”

"Lord, your rumor plan has really worked." Yamamoto Kansuke said, "The atmosphere in the camp of the Qingpu coalition has become more and more tense due to the rumors, and even the reinforcements from the Otomo family, who are rushing to Higo, have slowed down the march. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? "It was indeed surprising that the reinforcements from the Otomo family's rescue of Higo had also slowed down their march because of rumors.

A few days ago, in order to clear the hidden dangers of the occupied territory with peace of mind, Masashi sent a large army to sweep up, and at the same time, in order to prevent the Higo coalition army in the Qingpu area from making trouble, he also sent a large number of scouts to spread rumors everywhere.

First of all, it is about the fact that the Kai family is a member of the coalition forces. During the night attack a few days ago, all the wealthy clans of Higo were damaged to varying degrees, only the Kai family did not even have a single general injured, and even the soldiers only lost a small part. Of course, this is mainly due to the fearless command of Kai at that time.

However, other wealthy families did not see this. After such a propaganda by the Luo family, the wealthy family found out that it was indeed as the rumors said, the Fei family was really the least damaged wealthy family this time. Then everyone thought that this night attack plan was planned by Jia Fei himself. also participated in the night attack, why is there such a big difference in everyone's damage? For a while, all the wealthy families cast suspicious eyes on the Kai family.

In addition to this matter, the Luo family's detectives also vigorously publicized that the Kikuchi family, who had been cowering in the castle, was planning to join forces with the Luo family to attack the coalition camp at this time. This rumor suddenly frightened all the wealthy clans, and there was even a dispute about the location of the camp that was planned to be moved.

This is just the second blockbuster rumor thrown by the Luo family, and when the Luo family threw out the third rumor, the coalition army exploded even more. (To be continued......)
