"You have made a great contribution this time, and you will definitely ask for additional credit for the two after the end of this strategy against Fengzen Country." In the lobby of a courtyard in Ichito Castle, Kinoshita Masanao said with a serious expression.

With the killing of the castle generals, Noi Kanebo and Hyakuru Kanesada, the defenders of Noi family in Ichinoto Castle finally lost their determination to resist, and the remaining defenders who were still resisting surrendered one after another. In this battle, a total of more than 200 defenders were wounded and killed, more than 400 defenders were captured, and the Luo family suffered more than 50 casualties.

After Ichinoto Castle was taken by the Luo family, the gateway to Shimo-gun from Bungo Province was completely opened. Due to the terrain limitations, in fact, after that, cities such as Changyan City and Baimi City could no longer use the terrain to intercept the continued advance of the Luo family's army. If it is not possible to capture these castles of the Nonaka family in the short term, then Kinoshita Masanao can lead a large army to bypass these castles, and then continue to attack other areas of Shimo-gun, or even directly through Shimo-gun to other areas in the southeastern part of Toyozen Province.

At nightfall, after taking complete control of Ichinoto Castle, Kinoshita Masanao was able to meet indirectly with several representatives of the displaced people outside the southern castle at some point. At this time, the young man and the young man, who were among the displaced people this time, also secretly revealed their identities to Kinoshita Masanao.

So after making a promise that he would provide relief to the displaced people outside the city overnight tonight, and arranged for the rest of the representatives of the displaced people to wait, Kinoshita Masanao immediately met with the two of them alone. And these two people, the young man is Masayo's side of the Zhongfei Duan, and the young man is the servant of Nozomi Aso, who has just been given the name Takahashi Shaoyun by Masayo, and he has become a member of the Takahashi family at this time. and became a close crowd around Zhengliang.

This time it was also a coincidence. Just now, when Feiduan and Takahashi Shaoyun were inciting the homeless people to make trouble in the south. Kinoshita Masanao's army arrived in the north, so with the unintentional cooperation of the two, Kinoshita Masanao's army was able to successfully enter Ichinoto Castle, otherwise once the defenders relied on the buildings and geographical location of the castle to block the army outside the city, Kinoshita Masanao's army did not know how much damage it needed to lose before it could conquer the city. That's why Kinoshita Masanao so solemnly promised Feiduan and Takahashi Shaoyun that he would ask for credit to the lord for this matter again afterwards.

"Your Excellency is overrated, compared to the Lord and everyone here who personally attacked the city and fought bloodily for their own family, what they did was just a small thing." Compared to the flying segment that has never liked to talk much. Only eighteen or nineteen years old, but Takahashi Shaoyun, who has suffered from snacks in the world, seems to be much more slippery. His words immediately made the people in the lobby secretly rejoice, such as Kumon Shigetada, Watanabe Tong, Tetsunosuke, Inu Tong Ryan, Takeuchi Hisakatsu, and their perception of him suddenly became much better. I saw that Takahashi Shaoyun was only a teenager, and he was promoted by his own lord from a lowly servant, so the generals here really automatically ignored Takahashi Shaoyun.

Regarding the attitude of the generals towards him, Takahashi Shaoyun naturally knows the way. But he doesn't care, anyway, in his heart, as long as he can do things for his own lord and good government, it is enough to be appreciated by the lord and good government. At the beginning, after Masarashi promoted his status from a lowly servant to a samurai of the Luo family, and even had the opportunity to marry Takahashimi, the next governor of the noble Takahashi family. He regarded Zhengliang as the greatest benefactor in his life.

"It's just that I don't know what Lord Lu Dao plans to do with the thousands of displaced people outside the city?" indirectly curry favor with all the generals present. Takahashi Shaoyun immediately changed his voice again, and then asked.

"Oh? Do you have any suggestions? As an important minister in the family and a member of the Luo family, Kinoshita Masanao also knew that the retainer who could obtain the direct name of his own lord would naturally not be bad in ability, so he asked rhetorically with the intention of taking the exam.

"Since the adults asked, I will also state the thoughts in my heart in the future, and I ask for your forgiveness if it is inappropriate." In the face of Kinoshita's rhetorical question, Takahashi Shaoyun was not stage frightened, but generously received the order.

"According to the following, due to the large number of people outflow from the city, they should be dredged by means of co-optation and division."

"Oh? What is wooing? What is differentiation? When Kinoshita heard this, he immediately asked.

"My lord, the so-called wooing, a large number of displaced people gathered here because of the lack of food and clothing at home, and they came here after being encouraged by the rumors of their own family, hoping to enter their own territory from this place, and then get relief from their own family. As the saying goes, sincerity is the foundation, and now the family wants to turn the rumors that we released at the beginning into truth, so as to win the hearts of the people and increase the prestige of the family. In addition, if this matter spreads to the enemy's territory, it will also be a demoralization blow to the enemy, and it will be a greater temptation for the enemy's territory, which will in turn increase the turmoil in the enemy's territory. ”

"Of course, the so-called relief is also a relief that needs to be differentiated."

"Oh?"

"My lord, when I entered the city, I deliberately paid attention to the number of defenders in the city, presumably the number of my lord's army this time is really limited, if you still have to leave a part of the army to stay in this city, the army will continue to attack even less. So why don't we take the opportunity to take advantage of the relief to separate the young and strong outside the city from the old and young women and children, and send the old and young women and children to the north of the city for temporary resettlement, while the young and strong stay in the army of their own family, so that they can wave their flags and shout when their families are fighting? ”

"After wandering among the homeless people for a while, I found that they had long complained about the local lords and wealthy clans, and if these young men with complaints were put into the rear territory of their own family through this city, I am afraid that it would bring chaos to the rear of their own territory. In that case, why not take advantage of their grievances with the local lords and wealthy clans and guide them to vent their grievances on the local enemy camp. ”

"As for how to separate these young and strong leaders from those old and young women and children, it seems that as long as someone is sent to register their respective information, and while giving relief and giving a promise of reunion afterwards, these displaced people who have just experienced life and death will naturally cherish the opportunity to survive in front of them."

"Although the progress of the strategy of the army of the family may be slowed down because of this, but because of this, these unstable outcasts are controlled, and their strength can be used, so the family will get several times the army at this time. This is a plan to win over and divide the displaced people. ”

"Hmm." After listening to Takahashi Shaoyun's explanation, Kinoshita Masashi nodded straightly, and then looked at the people in the lobby and asked, "Everyone, what do you think of this." ”

"Feasible!" Everyone immediately nodded. Anyway, in the requirements that the lord and the government gave them to go out this time, there was only one sentence, that is, to attack them unprepared, create chaos, and fight steadily. After capturing Ichinoto Castle, it was natural to achieve the goal of attacking it unpreparedness and creating chaos, and now this plan is the embodiment of steady and steady fighting.

"Well, in that case, let's do it according to this plan." Seeing that everyone had no objections, Kinoshita Masanao immediately clapped his head.

Then he said to Fei Duan and Takahashi Shaoyun, "I have already sent someone to rush back to Bungo's Higaku City overnight, and inform the retainers of the Interior Pavilion who have gathered there before, presumably, they will arrive tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and the matter of relocating the displaced people and receiving the nearby territories still needs to be handled by the retainers of the Interior Pavilion in person, and during this period, two people who continue to hide their identities and return to the exiles to spread rumors in favor of their own family are needed." ”

"This is our duty this time, and we should do our best." Fei Duan and Takahashi Shaoyun immediately saluted and said. In fact, in order to cooperate with the future strategy of this army in Fengqian Kingdom, they will remain as outcasts until the end of this Luo family's strategy.

On the second day, just when Kinoshita Masanao cooperated with Takahashi Shaoyun and others to win over the displaced people outside Ichinoto Castle. The first, fourth, and fifth armies of the Luo family also officially advanced towards their respective strategic goals in accordance with the time set by Zhengliang before. Suddenly, this series of appearances has the meaning of flowering more in the southeast of Fengqian Province and the northeast of Fenggo Kingdom, which makes the wealthy families in these areas feel a little overwhelmed.
