Chapter 445: Rapid Expansion (Medium)

Because the armies of the lords wantonly robbed the property of the people outside the country, and the defeated lords could not protect them, a self-defense force to maintain the safety of their property and life appeared in places with a slightly larger population, and developed into small local tyrants, these small local tyrants are generally named after the settlement, such as the Trident and the Zhangxia Public. In addition to the congregation formed by these small tyrants, there are also many existences that can be called congregation, one is the congregation of the mine gathering place, and the other is the congregation of the people who believe in a certain temple, all of which are collectively referred to as the national people. Of course, in addition to these people, there are also the forces of division such as "Ninja Ri", and the power of thieves and water armies.

It can be said that in addition to the daimyo who controls more than two counties, there are also the daimyo who control one county below, the small daimyo of a city, and the local tyrants of the village. The water army is equal to the power of the force, the small group of three or five people, the large tens of thousands of people in an army, directly cut the thirteen countries of the country into small pieces, to this day, let alone unify the world, that is, the lord of the unified country has not appeared, you can imagine the extent of chaos in such a world.

And what made Shen Fei a little stunned was that the place where he was located was the Thirteen Kingdoms, a village under the jurisdiction of Wanshan City, Shanyan County, Fenglan Country, and this Fenglan Country was half-moon-shaped, facing the sea on one side, with mountains and mountains on three sides, and seven ports, and the sea side was a plain, moistened by several rivers, and the height of the entire Fenglan Country was 710,000 stone when the Xintian Shogunate was in place!

This is not what Shen Fei is happy about, what makes him excited is that because the terrain of Fenglan Country is easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with the fertility of Fenglan Country, Fenglan Country has a large population, and similarly, it also makes Fenglan Country's potential force extremely small, and the largest potential force only occupies a few key cities. There is not even a daimyo who monopolizes one county, but you must know that there are seven counties in Fenglan Country. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that they only had to defend a few mountain arteries and dangerous port passes, Fenglan Kingdom would have been annexed by the daimyo outside, and where could they have fought between villages for several years.

The reason why Shen Fei was excited was because most of the battles in Fenglan's country were village-level battles, that is, wars of dozens of people, in such wars, personal bravery was definitely the most important, and with Shen Fei's current personal strength. It's no problem to sweep the battlefield of a hundred people, let alone a village-level war with dozens of people, that is to say, Shen Fei can easily expand his territory rapidly, until he can't control it, or he will stop when he touches the general force.

Thinking that he could sweep through the surrounding forces with one person and one shot, Shen Fei couldn't help grinning, and waved his spear fiercely, a little impatient to start a war. Of course, the current Shanyan family is being forced down, and I want to see if it will damage my progress in completing the task, if it won't hinder it. Then force down directly and rush all the way through. If not, then you can only occupy a place and farm, and then go out again when your strength is stable. It's just that it consumes too much time.

"Lord, there is Mountain Rock City in front of you. Yamashita Yoshida said, pointing to a mountain in front of him.

Seeing the faint lights on the mountain and the castle tower, which can only be seen in shape, take a closer look around. Shen Fei couldn't help but pout: "Actually built on such a difficult mountain to travel, although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the jurisdiction of the jurisdiction will naturally become dull, I really don't know what the people in this world think, go to a remote and dangerous place to build a city." ”

"My lord, the main thing is that there is no need to care about those farmers in this world, as long as the city exists, the farmers within the city will not dare to resist, and will obediently obey the military service and pay agricultural taxes. Therefore, in order to occupy a place, the people of this world will not give up even if they besiege the city for a year and a half for a city that is difficult to attack. Yamashita Yoshida explained.

"Hmph! This is why these brainless guys care so much about the city, if I encounter a city that is difficult to attack, I will directly move all the people under this city, and let the city have a blank land, so that I don't have to attack the city, just see if he dares to come out. Shen Fei said disdainfully.

"My lord, shall we storm this city now, it looks like they are obviously waiting for the attackers to return. Yamashita Yoshida said busily.

"There is no need to attack the city, hold the torches high, throw those heads into me, and then tell me that the destruction of the Zuoshan family and the destruction of these warriors is the work of my Jiangchuan Zongsheng! Let them quickly surrender to my Jiangchuan family, otherwise let them follow in the footsteps of the Zuoshan family and perish the name of the family!" Shen Fei roared with a wave of his hand.

"Ha!" Yamashita Yoshida subconsciously responded, and before he could react, those female ninjas had already stepped forward with torches and shouted loudly, the so-called danger was the same as no for the ninjas, and they jumped twice to the wooden fence of the city, and these female ninjas didn't look at whether there was anyone in the fence, and directly threw the head tied around their waists into it.

Originally, there were only a few fires in Yamayan Castle, and immediately the lights were bright, and a noise came, and at first you could still hear the joy in the noise, but immediately there was a scream, and it was obvious that they had received the head thrown by the female ninja.

Yamashita Yoshida quickly ran to the female ninja with some anger, but he didn't dare to lose his temper with the female ninja, these female ninjas were all higher in rank than himself, so he could only yell at the city: "Listen to the people of the Yamayan family, all the samurai you sent were all killed by my Jiangchuan family! The Zuoshan family that you attacked was even more exterminated by my Jiangchuan family, and deprived the Zuoshan family of its family name! So now my Jiangchuan family's head Zong Sheng has come in person, if you don't open the city immediately and surrender, the Zuoshan family will be your fate!"

There was a panic in the city at first, and then it slowly quieted down amid a few loud shouts and curses, and it didn't take long for a figure to appear on the wall, shouting in a somewhat bitter voice: "Is Lord Jiang Chuan here?

Shen Fei stepped forward slowly, looking up at the figure faintly hidden in the darkness, obviously the other party had completely admitted defeat after seeing the head of his own samurai, not admitting defeat, so many samurai were killed by +, and the remaining dozen or so peasant soldiers and family members could only be slaughtered by others, after all, the Jiangchuan family's force that could kill dozens of samurai must be very strong, so it was not difficult to surrender. In these years, which family is not surrendered to surrender, when the power is small, it will surrender to the power of the force, and the power of the force is not rebellion or oppression of the power of the force, this is the way to survive in the troubled times of the Warring States, otherwise if each neck is hard to go to the end, this troubled world will have long ended and been unified by the lucky guy who does not know the road!

Shen Fei didn't answer the other party's question directly, but instead tilted his head to Yamashita Yoshida and asked, "How is this defeated surrender generally handled?"

"My lord, this matter of surrender must be surrendered before sending troops. Generally, the fiefdom of Zhixing is retained, if the army is not surrendered after the battle, then one-third of the Zhixing will be deducted, if the surrender during the war will be deducted half of the Zhixing, and if the surrender is defeated after the war, two-thirds of the Zhixing will be deducted, and if the city is breached, then it will be up to the will of the victor, and it is no problem to destroy the family name. And like the Yamayan family. Two-thirds of the knowledge and deeds can be deducted. Yamashita Yoshida said very familiarly.

Shen Fei nodded with satisfaction, raised his head and shouted at the man in the city: "Shanyan Zuosheng, right? I am the head of the Jiangchuan family, Jiangchuan Zongsheng! You also know what the situation is, so according to the rules, I will deprive you of two-thirds of your Zhixing territory! But allow you to keep your family name and this Shanyan City! Shan Yan Zuo Sheng, are you willing to surrender on this condition?"

Immediately there was a commotion in the city, and after a few more scoldings, it fell silent again. Then the mountain rock Zuosheng shouted bitterly: "The subordinates are willing!" and then yelled at the bottom: "Open the city gate to welcome the Jiangchuan family!"

Shen Fei waved his hand aggressively: "Wait until dawn, now you quickly gather the men in the city and follow me to conquer Yamada City! Naturally, there is no shortage of rewards!"

"Ah, Yamada Castle?!, my lord, that Yamada Castle has a height of 6,300 stones, and it is the largest local tyrant in our neighborhood, if it weren't for his invasion, my Yamayan family and the Zuoshan family would join hands to fight together, and my Yamayan family and the Zuoshan family would have been destroyed by the Yamada family. Shanyan Zuosheng shouted in a panic.

"Hmph, don't panic, you just need to decide whether to listen to the order or not, you can think clearly, this is the first time that my Jiangchuan family has issued an order to a subordinate. Shen Fei said threateningly.

There was silence for a while, and then the mountain rock Zuosheng said bitterly: "Obey the lord." ”

Shen Fei's group was quietly waiting for the Shanyan family to send troops below, listening to the chaos in the city, Yamashita Yoshida couldn't help but lean forward and ask, "Lord, is it a little inappropriate for you to directly let the Shanyan family send troops?"

"Ha Luha, what's wrong, directly transfer all their men out, not only can you save them from worrying about attacking Zuoshan City in anger, but also increase our strength, since this is how not to do it, as for whether they are willing, it doesn't matter at all, as long as they have a strong presence on the side. Shen Fei said indifferently.

"But my lord, will it be too big to attack Yamada Castle with our dozens of people? This is at least ten kilometers away from Yamada Castle, and it is almost dawn when you walk to the city, and the other party is also prepared for the possibility of a surprise attack, and the height of Yamada Castle is 6,300 stones, and this table height is counted during the opening period of the Nitta Shogunate, for hundreds of years, the real height is definitely twice the height of the table, that is, more than 10,000 stone high, enough to have 500 standing peasant soldiers, and Yamada Castle is the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yamashita Yoshida regretted mentioning the existence of the Yamada family to the lord on the road just now.

"Hehe, it's because Yamada Castle is the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, such a castle with a castle town and a port is the main city of my Egawa family! And you don't use the mentality of ordinary people to understand our speed, if we run with all our might, we can definitely arrive at Yamada Castle before the early morning, it is easy for ninjas to enter the city, and it is even easier for me to enter the city, as long as we give these people to enter the city, what about 500 standing soldiers? Maybe there are not 500 people. Shen Fei said very proudly.

"Ahh

"Hmph, just let them see the strength of my Jiangchuan family, attack and capture the second city in one night, and it is also a legend to say that it is also a legend, and it can also make the Shanyan family obey me!" Shen Fei snorted coldly and laughed.

At this moment, the gate of Shanyan City opened, and a crowd of people holding torches appeared, and when they looked closely, although the light was insufficient, they could still count the number of people, and there were fifty people, but most of them were either old or young men, and looking at their cowering appearance, it was obvious that they were all servants in the city.

Didn't care about these garbage soldiers, Shen Fei's eyes were on the three people dressed as warriors at the front, one middle-aged man and two young people, all of whom looked somewhat similar, obviously it was Nashan Yan Zuosheng and his two sons.

They also obviously saw Shen Fei who was surrounded by everyone, Shanyan Zuosheng straightened his clothes, led his son and his subordinates forward, Shanyan Zuosheng knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "Minister, Shanyan Zuosheng greets the lord!" The son and subordinates behind him also bowed down and shouted: "Meet the main hall!"

Shen Fei didn't let them get up for the first time, but opened the panel to check the progress of the task for the first time, and his eyes lit up at this look. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
