Chapter 795 More Flowers
"You have made great contributions this time. After you have made this strategy for Toyomaeko, you will ask for extra contributions for two people." In the lobby of a yard in Ichinodo Castle, Kinish Masana said with a serious expression.
After the city guard generals Noi Kenya and Masaru Kenzai were killed, the Noi Kenya defenders in Ichinodo Castle finally lost their determination to resist, and the remaining defenders who were still fighting surrendered one after another. In this battle, more than 200 defenders were injured and killed, and more than 400 defenders were captured. The Luo family also suffered more than 50 casualties.
After Ichinodo Castle was captured by the Luo family, the gateway to Shimao County from Toyogo Kingdom was completely opened. Due to the limitations of terrain, in fact, the villages such as Nagai Castle and Shirami Castle were unable to use the terrain to stop the Luo family's army from continuing to go deeper. If these Nohaka family's castles cannot be captured in the short term, then Kinishi Masana can lead the army around these castles and continue to guide other areas of Shimao County, or even directly cross Shimao County to other areas in the southeast of Toyoho Kingdom.
At night, after completely controlling Ichinodo Castle, Kinisha Masana was able to have time to meet several refugee representatives outside the Nanmeng Castle. At this time, the young and young people who were among the refugees who were mixed in this time also secretly revealed their identity to Kinisha Masana.
So after making a promise to provide relief to refugees outside the city overnight tonight, and after arranging the rest of the refugee representatives to wait, Kinisha Masato immediately met the two of them alone. The young man was Masato's neighbor Hidashima, and the young man was a servant of Asoki, who had just been named Takahashi Shaoyun by Masato. At this time, he had become a member of the Takahashi family and became a neighbor of Masato.
This time was also by chance. Just now in Hidao, Takahashi Shaoyun and the others were inciting refugees to cause trouble in the south. Kinisha Masaru's army arrived in the north, and with the unintentional cooperation between the two, Kinisha Masaru's army was able to successfully enter Ichinoto Castle. Otherwise, if the defenders rely on the city's buildings and geographical location, they would block the army outside the city, Kinisha Masaru's army would not know how much damage it would take to conquer the city. Therefore, Kinisha Masaru solemnly went to Hidao, and Takahashi Shaoyun and the others promised to ask for extra credit for this matter again in the future.
"I'm too proud. Compared to the adults and everyone here who attacked the city and fought for my family in blood, what I did was nothing more than a slight thing." Compared to Hida, who has never liked to talk much, Takahashi Shaoyun, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old but had suffered a lot since childhood, he seemed much smoother. His words immediately made Gongfu Shigetachi, Watanabe Toshi, Tetsunosuke, Inuchi Ryan, Takeuchi Kusaki and others secretly rejoiced, and their impression of him became much better. Before, seeing that Takahashi Shaoyun was only in his teens and was promoted from a lowly servant by his lord, the generals here really ignored Takahashi Shaoyun.
Takahashi Shaoyun naturally knew the attitude of the generals towards him. But he didn't care. Anyway, in his heart, as long as he could do things for his lord Zhengliang, it would be enough to be appreciated by his lord Zhengliang. When Masara promoted his identity from a humble servant to a samurai of the Luo family, and even had the opportunity to marry Takahashi, the next governor of the Takahashi family, who had the noble blood, Takahashi. He regarded Masara as his greatest benefactor in his life.
"But I don't know how the adults plan to deal with the thousands of refugees outside the city?" After indirectly congratulating the generals present, Takahashi Shaoyun immediately changed his voice and asked.
"Oh? Do you have any suggestions?" As an important official in the family and a member of the Luo family, Kinoshita Masaru also knew that he could get the direct name of his lord, so he naturally had no bad ability, so he asked with the thought of taking the school exam.
"Since you are asking me about it, I will explain my thoughts in my heart. Please forgive me if there is any inappropriateness." Faced with Kinish Masato Naoki's remarks, Takahashi Shaoyun was not frightened, but instead took the order generously.
"In the following view, since there are many refugees outside the city, they should be cleared through the method of winning and dividing."
"Oh? What is to win over? And what is to divide?" Kinoshita Masaru asked immediately after hearing this.
"Sir, the so-called "winning" of a large number of refugees gathered here is nothing more than because their family is fragile and food. After the rumors of our family are aroused, they hope to enter our territory from here and then get relief from our family. As the saying goes, sincerity is the basis, now our family will turn the rumors we have released into a mantra to gain the hearts of the people and increase the reputation of our family. In addition, if this matter is passed on to various places of the enemy, it will also be a morale blow to the enemy, and it will be a greater temptation to the enemy's leadership, and then aggravate the turmoil in the enemy's territory."
"Of course, the so-called relief also requires different relief."
"oh?"
"Sir, when we entered the city, we have deliberately paid attention to the number of defenders in the city. I believe that the number of troops in this journey is really limited. If we still have to leave some of the military forces to stay in this city, we will continue to attack the enemy. So why not take the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to separate the young and old women and children outside the city, and send the young and young women and children to the north of the city for temporary placement, while the young and young people stay in our army and let them shout when our family fights?"
"I have been among the refugees for a while and found that they have long complained about the local lords and nobles. If these young and strong men with complaints were placed in the rear territory of our family through this city, it would probably bring chaos to the rear of our family. In this case, why not take advantage of their dissatisfaction with the local lords and nobles and guide them to vent their resentment on the local enemy camp."
"As for how to separate these young and strong leaders from the elderly, young, women and children, as long as they send people to register their respective information, and provide relief while giving them a promise of reunion afterwards, these refugees who have just experienced life and death will naturally cherish the opportunity to survive in front of them."
"Although this may make the strategy progress of our army slow, it will control these unstable refugees and use their power, so our family will get several times the army at this time. This is a plan to win over and divide the refugees."
"Yes." After listening to Takahashi Shaoyun's explanation, Kinoshita Masaru nodded, then looked at the questions of everyone in the lobby, "Everyone, what do you think you plan to do this?"
"It's feasible!" Everyone nodded immediately. Anyway, the lord Zhengliang asked them for their request to take the battle this time, which was to attack him without preparation, create chaos, and fight steadily. After attacking Yinuotuo City, they naturally achieved the purpose of attacking him without preparation and creating chaos. Now this plan is a manifestation of steady progress.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's act according to this plan." Seeing that everyone had no objection, Kinoshita Masaru immediately agreed.
Then he said to Hiduan and Takahashi Shaoyun, "I have sent people back to Rijiu City, Fenghou, overnight to inform the retainers of the Interior Cabinet who had gathered there before. I believe that they will arrive at the latest tomorrow afternoon. The matter of resettlement of refugees and receiving nearby territories will also require the retainers of the Interior Cabinet to handle it themselves. During this period, two people will need to continue to hide their identities and return to the refugees and spread rumors that are beneficial to our family."
"This matter is our responsibility this time, and we should do our best." Hiduan and Takahashi Shaoyun immediately bowed. In fact, in order to cooperate with the future strategy of this army in Fengqian Kingdom, they will remain as refugees until the end of this Luo family strategy.
