"My lord, a large force has suddenly emerged from the enemy position."

On a low-lying flat ground in the blocking position, a foothead ran to report to Saeki Town.

Not long ago, after leading the brigade to the blocking position, Saeki Weitada immediately gathered everyone in the position on this flat land, but before he could speak, Ashigaru, who was in charge of guarding the perimeter of the position, came to report.

"Well, I see, you can go down."

Hearing this, Saeki Zhenzhong frowned, and then ordered. After hearing this, he immediately took the order and left.

"My lord, it seems that the enemy is planning to attack us." Seeing that the report was gone, Saeki Zhenzhong was still thinking about it, and he had no intention of responding at all, and a retainer of the Saeki family, who was originally willing to stay and take on the task of interception, immediately asked.

"Hmm." Saeki nodded, but quickly fell back into deep thought.

"My lord......" The die-hard retainers who stayed behind were really a little anxious, you know, the army of the Luo family on the opposite side has already attacked, and its purpose is obviously only on their own side, and at this time, only two or three kittens are left on the periphery of their own position, and the rest of the people are concentrated here, and now it is really dangerous.

"Don't worry about it, we still have reinforcements." After glancing at the retainers in front of him again, Saeki Zhenzhong finally spoke.

"Reinforcements?" After listening to Saeki Zhenzhong's words, the retainer immediately shut up. In fact, he had only received instructions from the Governor Saeki Weijiao before, and the task of the people was only to cover the retreat of the tripartite coalition forces in the position, and then wait for the arrival of Saeki Zhenzhong. Directly obey the orders of Saeki Zhenzhong.

Judging from the situation of the Luo family's position opposite at this time. Obviously, his previous task of covering the retreat of the tripartite coalition forces in the position had failed. The army of the Luo family on the opposite side must have attacked only after discovering the anomaly of their own position. And now Saeki Zhentada's sudden offer of reinforcements at this time is indeed surprising to him. But soon he quieted down, anyway, his task is to cover and obey orders, although he feels a little strange about Saeki Zhenzhong's behavior at this time, but since Saeki Zhenzhong proposed to have reinforcements, then it is good to wait for reinforcements, it is not good, his own family governor did have another plan with the adult in front of him before leaving.

It's just that. After the retainer quieted down, the crowd gathered in the rear gradually became agitated. The reason is that just now, some guys who are unwilling to be forced to stay behind as substitutes for the dead have taken the opportunity of the rally to secretly convey the news that the three armies have retreated to other people around who do not know. All of a sudden, the crowd was in an uproar. In fact, not everyone is willing to die.

But for the crowd that was gradually stirring up at this time, Saeki Zhenzhong completely ignored it, and seeing that the commotion was getting bigger and bigger, the retainer who had doubts had to lead those who already knew in advance that their main force was retreating, and they were willing to stay and take the task of blocking the crowd to suppress the commotion.

It's just that after all, the number of people who stirred up was much more. Therefore, the repression of them has provoked even more fierce resistance from these people. In the flat, it looks like it's about to turn from a commotion to a scuffle.

"Your Excellency!"

This time. This retainer had no choice but to find Saeki Zhenzhong, who was still watching the play in the same place, for help.

"Don't worry, reinforcements will be here soon." Saeki Zhenzhong said calmly.

"Reinforcements? Before the reinforcements arrived, it was going to be a mess here, and the Luo family's army that had already attacked outside was about to be killed. After hearing Saeki Zhenzhong's words, this retainer almost didn't have anyone to cut people with a knife.

It's just that before he could continue to ask, Saeki Zhenzhong suddenly said, "Reinforcements have arrived." ”

"Huh? Reinforcements arrived? The retainer was immediately stunned, and then he seemed to see something, and the whole person was directly stunned. It turned out that he saw a large number of soldiers of the Luo family walking out from behind the dirt slope behind Saeki Zhenzhong.

"Enemy attack!"

At this time, some of the people in the flat ground finally saw the soldiers of the Luo family who were constantly surrounding them. The flat ground was immediately plunged into chaos.

"That's it!"

And just when everyone hurriedly raised their weapons, but they didn't know how to respond, Saeki Zhenzhong, as the main general, shouted loudly, only to see him jump directly on a military horse beside him that was originally used for him to rest, waved his hand, and continued to shout: "Listen to my order, everyone put down their weapons." We surrendered. ”

"Huh?" Saeki Zhenzhong's words suddenly caused another exclamation.

"Your Excellency...... Yes! The die-hard retainer who had already woken up from the panic was about to object, but before he could finish the words in his mouth, he was directly cut off by a close attendant of Saeki Zhenzhong behind him. The face of the head who rolled to the ground still had a look of anger on his face.

"Your Excellency!" The sudden killing of this die-hard retainer caused the dissatisfaction of the other part of the Saeki family's die-hard retainers, and they raised their weapons one after another.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" Before these people could make a move, the soldiers of the Luo family who surrounded them shot a rain of arrows like rain. So in a scream, all the die-hard retainers were shot down.

"Hmph. Those who are unwilling to surrender will end up like them. Regarding the bloody scene in front of him, Saeki Zhenzhong seemed very calm, but continued to shout again to the forces of the Saeki family in the flat ground.

The rest of the Saeki family really couldn't figure out what was going on. As the commander of his own family, he took the initiative to surrender without resistance? And he also killed another samurai lord who was clearly planning to resist? What made everyone even more puzzled was why these Luo family armies could appear around them silently? The guys in charge of guarding outside didn't even warn at all?

"Alright, if you are willing to surrender, lay down your arms and walk over here." Just when everyone was still confused, Saeki Zhenzhong directly ordered.

The scene was still silent.

"What? Is no one willing to surrender? Seeing this, Saeki Zhenzhong shouted again.

"Bang dang!"

An ashigaru finally threw down the sword in his hand and walked over slowly. The people behind him immediately looked at this Ashigaru, and it was not until this Ashigaru walked to Saeki Jintada's side and stood still that they all withdrew their gaze.

Immediately after that, the sound of "clang, clang, clang......" began to sound, and people continued to lay down their weapons and began to walk towards the first ashigaru, until everyone surrendered. In fact, in the case of absolute disadvantage, no one will want to die.

"See the lord!"

After the surrendered Saeki family army was guarded by the Luo family's military force, Masara, who was wearing a Luo family chain mail, a Nanban helmet on his head, and a famous sword on his waist, finally appeared, and several people led by Saeki Zhenzhong immediately greeted Dao.

"Good, you're doing a great job." Masarashi looked at Saeki Zhenzhong, who was kneeling on the ground, and nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, the secret letter that Masahiro received in Zhou Fangguo was written by Saeki Zhenzhong. In the letter, for the sake of the survival of the Saeki family and his own survival, Saeki Zhenzhong took the initiative to express his intention to surrender to Masahiro.

Immediately, the Masara-dori Guò Intelligence Pavilion secretly contacted Saeki Zhenzhong several times, and began to lay out the strategy for the southern Kyushu. Soon after, when the Luo family officially opened the southern Kyushu strategy and attacked the Saeki family's Umemurai Castle, it was Saeki Zhenzhong's deliberate surrender that allowed him to quickly take the castle.

Later, the fire that Saeki's family used to store materials in the city was actually prepared by Saeki Zhenzhong a long time ago, and then finally caused by the Luo family's Black Eagle who lurked in Saeki's family as Saeki Zhenzhong's subordinates. As for Saeki Zhenzhong's escape back to the city to assist Saeki Weijiao against the Luo family, it was naturally a scene jointly staged by Masaki and Saeki Zhenzhong. In fact, after deciding to retreat today, Saeki Zhenzhong sent his subordinates to secretly report to the Luo family's position (these subordinates are actually members of the Luo family, and they were only scattered to infiltrate Saeki's house in the name of Saeki Zhenzhong's retainers).

As for this surrender, it was naturally Saeki Zhenzhong's move after receiving Masaara's reply. He deliberately concentrated most of the people in the low-lying flat land in the middle of the position, firstly, so that everyone could not see the attack of the large army in the opposite Luo family's position in time, and secondly, he deliberately let those who were unwilling to stay and send them to death to start a commotion, so as to entangle with those die-hard retainers and buy time for the arrival of the Luo family's army.

At the same time, he also sent his subordinates (who were actually members of the Luo family) to be responsible for guarding outside, in order to be responsible for receiving the army of the Luo family who arrived quickly. But there was almost an accident in the process.,Even he didn't notice it himself.,Leaving a person who wasn't his own person to guard outside.,So there was the initial Ashigaru report incident.,Fortunately, Saeki Zhenzhong responded smartly.,As for the poor messenger Ashigaru.,After returning to the alert position again, he was also subdued and gagged and tied up.。

Why did Saeki Zhenzhong take the initiative to surrender to the Luo family and act as an undercover agent for the Luo family? In the final analysis, it was also caused by the Governor Saeki Weijiao.

Saeki Yukyo is really too stubborn, and when he is obviously not the opponent of the Luo family, he disregards the general trend and acts as a pawn of the Ito family and the Shimazu family. In fact, Saeki Zhenzhong is not optimistic about the Shimazu family and the Ito family at all, he feels that if he continues to follow behind these two heroes, the Saeki family will either be destroyed in the hands of these two heroes, or will be destroyed by the Luo family.

Neither wanting the destruction of his family, nor wanting to lose his life and the glory and wealth brought by his own identity, he finally took the initiative to surrender to Zhengliang under the persuasion of an adventurous appearance of a member of the Luo Family Intelligence Pavilion lurking beside him (the Luo Family Intelligence Pavilion member also made a meritorious contribution because of this, thus becoming a leader in the Intelligence Cabinet, and was able to live peacefully in the Luo family's territory).
