Chapter 509 Joint Request
Masara ordered people to secretly send a secret letter to Yoshihiro Hiroshi, which wrote about the use of local bisons from Iki for food and weapons. Although there are many oxen plowing in the Luo family territory and have even achieved their own production, the more strategic materials such as plowing oxen, the better. There are quite a few local bisons in Iki's mountains. After the exchange, they can be put into production as long as they are slightly domesticated. In contrast, because of the large number of mountains, Iki's grain output is not large, which cannot meet the daily needs of many families in Iki Island.
More importantly, at this time, the tyrants led by the Higashi family were confronting the Hodo clans. From the perspective of overall strength, thanks to the support of the Tsukimae Sugi family and other wealthy families, the Hodo clans have a more advantage in strength. Of course, Masayoro did not want the Higashi family to be defeated so quickly, so while obtaining the plowing ox, he also supported the Higashi family's camp food, grass and weapons in disguise, so that he could continue to persevere.
It is impossible for Hiroshiro to know the intention of the Luo family, but given the current situation on Iki Island, who else can they find besides continuing to seek support from the Luo family? Anyway, judging from his current situation with the Luo family, the Luo family has absolutely no intention of participating in the muddy waters of Iki in the short term. So one side hopes to prevent Iki from settle down, thereby reducing its threat to the Luo family's borders, and the other side hopes not to be annexed by the Hodo family's clan family, so the cooperation between the two sides hit it off immediately.
Iki's Hitaka Soyoshi received a secret letter from Masara, and there were also three letters on the desk of Masarara who had returned to Kishiyu Castle.
The first letter was a letter of request signed by Akaba Nobusuke, Isono Tomotasa and others. The content of the letter was to request Masara to formally send troops to the Homotasa. Last year's battle with the Ototo family not only brought the prestige of the Luo family, causing the Ototo family to suffer a lot. At the same time, it greatly increased its ambition for its own military power. The retainers led by Akaba Nobusuke, Isono Tomotasa and others are no longer satisfied with the results after the battle. After all, the subsequent impact of this battle on the Ototo family will take some time to reflect, but what they hope to see is the most direct and obvious results. Now the Ototo family is in the Kazuo and the Homotasa and the Homotasa has lost the impact on the Homotasasa to a certain extent, so they hope to seize the opportunity to take action against the Homotasasa.
As the power gradually expanded, Zhengliang was increasingly inclined to a steady strategy, so he did not want to launch his strategy for Feihou again so quickly. After all, in his opinion, he had previously separated from Feihou's wealthy family and provoked conflicts between the local aboriginal people and the wealthy family and other means. In fact, Zhengliang's ultimate goal is to mix Feihou into a quagmire through a series of means, so that Yixiangzong, local aboriginal people who were deeply trapped in it had not been fully utilized.
The strength of the Otomo family was greatly consumed. Finally, after seizing the opportunity to force the fat, otherwise, if you intervene too early, not only will it take a lot of effort to intervene, but it will also take more effort to weaken the local wealthy families and other forces after the war, and even deal with the Otomo family's counterattack. In the end, the Luo family itself was also pulled into this quagmire, thus falling into endless entanglement, making the Luo family unable to focus on other strategic directions.
Of course. Although the Luo family was a retainer evaluation system determined by the family governor in one sentence, as the family governor, it was not too arbitrary. Otherwise, it would be too aggressive and even loyal to the retainers. Therefore, after receiving this letter, Masara immediately found Kakukuma Shisong and Yamamoto Kawasuke who were in Kishigaki Castle.
"How? What do you think?" Masara asked after Kakuma Ishisou and Yamamoto Kansuke finished reading the letters from Akaba Nobunosuke and others.
"Lord, now, the last threat to the Goshima Navy in the west of our family has been solved by our family, and Shimazu in the southwest is still deeply trapped in the riots of the indigenous peoples and local tyrants. As for the Sagyu family, they are in civil strife for the heirs of the family. Iki in the northwest is also in civil strife. The only remaining ones are the Oui family in the north and the Oui family in the east." Kanasuke Yamamoto said. He did not give a direct opinion, but explained the situation around the Luo family.
"Yes." Masayoro nodded, then looked at Kakukuma Shisou.
The latter immediately said: "My lord, judging from the latest statistics from the Interior Government Pavilion, after the implementation of a series of means over the past period of time, the population of our family is nearly 300,000, and there is enough population to prepare for the upcoming spring farming. Even if the strategy is implemented at this time, the impact on the construction of the territory will be greatly reduced. In terms of military rations, the grain and grass stored in warehouses in various places in the territory last year's autumn harvest was still nearly 200,000 stones. Even if the upcoming spring farming consumes part of the grain reserves, there is absolutely no problem to support this year's autumn harvest. Moreover, the ministers just learned that after connecting Fei, the main marching avenue built after being built has been completed, and the march connecting Zhuhou and Feihou Yuming County has also come to an end. Our family can quickly mobilize military momentum in these places at any time."
"Lord, please forgive me for saying that if the lord is in love with the world, then the continuous combat situation of our army will inevitably be frequent in the future." Kakuma Shisen said at last. The implication is that this time, this time it is just a good time to exercise the continuous combat capability of the Luo family army.
After hearing the opinions of Kakukuma Ishisong and Yamamoto Kawasuke, Masara couldn't help but smile bitterly. Their meaning was very obvious, that is, at this time, the Luo family had enough troops and abundant food, and the surrounding environment was not threatened, which was a great time to send troops. It seemed that all the retainers, from top to bottom, hoped that the Luo family would take advantage of the victory and pursue this time.
"If you send troops to the Queen of Fei, you must be careful of the place where the Queen of the Woods and before the Woods." Masayoro frowned.
After hearing Masaru Masaru's doubts, Kakumashiro Kazumashiro's eyebrows immediately jumped. It seemed that Masaru had no objection to sending troops, so Yamamoto Kazumashiro immediately said: "My lord, this matter is easy to deal with. As long as my family makes a large number of moves to mobilize military power at the same time in the border areas of Tuohou and Himehou."
"This plan is very wonderful!" Kakukuma Shisong, who was standing by, immediately exclaimed after hearing this, "My lord, I can help you with this plan. First, it can confuse the Outo family and the Outo family, so that these two families do not know where the troops are sent from, and second, it can make the wealthy families in these two places panic. As for the Outo family's reaction, my subordinates think that there is no need to worry about it. When the Outo family does not completely threaten the Outo family and make the Kyushu forces lose balance, the Outo family will not react too much, and they will even hope that the family will continue to fight."
