Chapter 69
As Chongliang's family fled, the battle ended soon. He ordered Daxi Guozhi and Yinuo to clean up the battlefield and clear the remaining enemy's backs. Zhengliang rode a small horse to a piece of grass on the west side of the city. Zhengliang did not choose to enter Feiliang City. There were several battles in a day, and blood stains that had not been cleaned were everywhere. Zhengliang really had no interest in entering.
In front of him was a natural pasture of about 10 acres, and a stream was not far away. According to Yinuo, there was a larger natural pasture in the forest opposite the stream, and even wild ponies. As soon as he heard this news, Zhengliang's eyes lit up. He had always had the idea of establishing a cavalry, but the horses were too rare and expensive, which was not something his current strength could bear. If he got wild horses in the forest, although he still needed to tame war horses, at least the first step in the cavalry dream. At the same time, Zhenguo was also very satisfied with Yinuo's work, which was temporarily appointed by him. In such a short time, he could obtain this information in the other territory and understand the idea of the head of the family. He was indeed a capable retainer.
The pony was eating and chewing not far from Zhengliang. There were too many tender grass on the ground. After running Zhengliang for a long time, he was too hungry. Seeing the pony eating very much, Zhengliang smiled slightly. Thinking that he must have been influenced by the time travel game system, Zhengliang found that his horse riding skills were good. Although he was not proficient, he could at least be said to be proficient. He could even play a few superb riding and shooting skills. During the two days of patrolling the territory, Zhengliang took advantage of the time to rush to ride a few times and then prepare wild game to improve nutrition.
Just as Zhengliang was in deep thought, Daxi Guozhi walked over quickly.
"Your Highness", Daxiong bowed and bowed.
"Well, what's going on?" Masayora came to his senses and looked at Daxi Kyuji and asked.
"The battlefield has been cleaned up, and Yinuo is leading people to search for rovers everywhere," Daxi Guozhi reported, "The captured peasant soldiers have been put back to their homes, but the ronin warriors do not know what to do. They expressed their willingness to serve His Highness."
"Let them join the samurai team as samurai, but their salary is the same as samurai for the time being. After confirming that their abilities and loyalty are sufficient to comply with the requirements of the samurai, they will be treated as samurai." Masara thought for a while and said, "All the new samurai will be like this in the future. The samurai of our family can only be promoted from the samurai. Tell them that I have taken care of their weapons and armor, but they have to do it well for me. At the same time, we must promote it again. In addition to having strength and loyalty, those who do not have family members in the local area must establish a family member before promoting it." These wandering samurai has no obvious relationship with their own interests. In order to strengthen their dependence on their own interests, Masarara is determined to tie them to the chariot of the Luo family through their families and fields.
"Yes, Your Highness." Although Daxi Guozhi did not agree with it very much, he even felt a little confused, but when he remembered the temperament of his lord, he knew that it would be difficult to change his decision, so he swallowed the words he said.
"Have all the people gathered?" Zhengliang continued to ask.
"Yes, as His Highness's orders, 30 cloaks and 50 foals have been gathered," said Kyuji Osaki. "All the people who gathered have prepared their lunches on the way, which were left behind by Chongliang's family at noon."
"Well, then that's it. I will lead them to the territory of the Oda family immediately. The surrounding powerful people have noticed it." Masara ordered, "The remaining 10 cloaks and 50 feet will be handed over to you and Ionuo, and I will settle down here as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Highness, I promise that this place will be settled tonight," said Daxi Kuoji immediately.
After ordering the rest of the work arrangements, Masara rode a pony and led the gathered people to the original Oda family territory.
............
Time returned to an hour ago. Jiubao City, which was home for too long.
"You mean, the Oda family suddenly blocked the level with the family and was not allowed to enter and exit?" asked Taikuo Yoshihiro, who was the head of the Taikuo family and the one-armed Taikuo Yoshi.
"Yes, sir, the younger ones sent people to enter several times, but they were driven out," said Foolishly.
"Damn Oda Taikyu, what is he going to do? I have lost the news from people over there since yesterday," said Taikubo's son, Harukubo, angrily.
"It must be a problem there. Taro immediately led 100 peasant soldiers to Oda's house to test it out," said Tokubo Yoshi suddenly, "It is necessary to force Oda's Taikami to reopen the checkpoint. If it really doesn't work, he can let Ling Ji and Munibu go back to his parents' home to visit relatives."
"Yes, my father." Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Haruka, who had always been scattered, did not dare to neglect it, and immediately took the order and left.
When Masaruo led his troops to the territory of the Harao Oda family, Taro Hirasa had already led dozens of old and weak peasant soldiers to confront the troops of the Taikuo family at the border checkpoints of the territory for more than half an hour.
Seeing the old, weak and disabled soldiers in the level, Taikubo Haru, who was originally nervous, immediately became arrogant and sent people to yell and scold outside the level, and even attacked the level several times. In the end, he was defeated by Taro Hirasa himself. Both sides were already tense and the battle was about to begin.
But the problem is that the Roches are all temporarily recruited old and weak peasant soldiers. How can they withstand the opponent's full attack? Just when Taro Hirasa was anxious, Masara arrived in time.
"Hmph, you are ungrateful, come and attack with all your strength. I want to see why Oda Taikyu has become so bold and doesn't take my family seriously?" Taikubo Haru pulled out the Taikami and waved it forward, shouting.
"Swoosh", Taikubo Haru, who was proud of his posture, saw a long arrow inserted in front of him less than a step, and he was so scared that he fell to the ground. The peasant soldiers who were about to rush forward according to the order were also stunned.
At this time, a team of 30 warriors wearing white cloaks rushed out from the strictly guarded level, and then a young man who looked only 17 or 18 years old walked out. While walking, the young man smiled and said, "Are you the rat Taikubo Haru, who is called the Rat of the Tooku Family?"
"You...you...what did you say?" Taikubo hates others to call him this the most. Every time he hears someone secretly calling him this in the territory, he will try his best to torture those people to death. Now, he suddenly sees a little furry who actually calls him this in person. He is furious and immediately prepares to order to attack his opponent again, capture the little furry alive, and then torture him for three days and three nights, and finally tie it up and throw it into the river to feed the fish.
"Swoosh", before Kubo Haruka had ordered again, Masara raised his hand and shot another arrow at Tokubo Haruka. "Shh", the long arrow inserted into the ground that was less than half of his foot, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly. Tokubo Haruka quickly climbed backwards, his legs trembling.
"Hmph, it's a failure to send you here with your cheap dad," Masara said disdainfully, "Get back and tell Tokubo Yoshiki that the Oda family no longer exists, and now there is only the Luo family here."
"What?" Taikubo Haru exclaimed, obviously unable to believe the words of the little kid opposite him.
"Get out! If you don't get out, this arrow will be inserted into you," Zhengliang shouted. The 30 cloaked men behind him immediately pulled out their swords, shouted loudly, and walked forward. On the white cloak, you could clearly see some blood. Obviously, these people had just experienced a killing.
The peasants and soldiers from Taijue's family had experienced such a formation. Before he could wait for Kubo Haru to order, he began to retreat one after another.
"You...you..." Taikubo Haru was also frightened by the murderous warrior on the other side, especially when he saw the little kid holding up his bow and arrow again, he had not finished speaking, and immediately got up, turned around and ran back. The young master ran away, so we should have run even more. In an instant, the soldiers of Taijiu family dispersed.
Looking at the enemy's soldiers gradually fading away, Zhengliang took a deep breath. It was not that Zhengliang was afraid of death and didn't want to fight. It was because the army of his family was already at the end of his strength after a series of fierce battles. As long as the opponent had an impact, the army that Zhengliang had just brought was probably defeated. In desperation, Zhengliang had to come up with this bad strategy. What Zhengliang did not expect was that the other party was the coward of the Too Jiu family, so the worst strategy instantly became the best strategy.
In the afternoon of that day, 30 cloaks and 50 squads led by Masara officially took over the territory and defense of the Oda family. At the same time, the first line of defense along the coast of Fujihiro Lake to the Oda family, Masara originally conceived by Masara, was officially formed. On the left of the defense line, there were 50 squads led by Tsuda Hirozo, and on the right were 30 squads and 50 squads led by Masara. Of course, when the situation stabilizes, Osaki Kyuji will take over here, and Masara will lead 30 squads back to the lord's mansion in Notakayama.
Heisa Taro followed Masara's instructions and led the 100 temporarily gathered old and weak peasant soldiers to help the leaders of the former Oda family territory move to the castle town of Fujihiro Castle to settle down. After the 100 peasant soldiers returned there, they collected a bucket of miscellaneous grains as a reward, and then disbanded them on the spot and returned home. Heisa Taro stayed in Fujihiro Castle for daily affairs. They were accompanied by three Taikuo family, the Nakao Castle, the Nakao family, the Nakao family spies, and the two maids who had married into the Oda family with Taikuo River. It seems that Oda Taro was not confused at all, at least they knew the situation in their territory. In order to avoid informing these people, Oda Taro locked up all of these people before advancing to Fujihiro Castle. Three spies, Masara
It was not like taking them into the army of slaves in the territory. As for the two maids, they asked them to directly find Taijiu Ling, who had settled in Fujihi Castle. After repeated advice from the retainers, although they felt extremely unbearable, Taijiu Ling's son, who was only a few months old, was finally tacitly approved by Masaru Osaki Kyuji to send it back to the Oda family two days ago. When Masaru arrived here today, he had been killed. Although Taro Hirasa reported that he was secretly killed by the people sent by the Chongliang family, Masaru vaguely felt that it was his own retainers who were doing it. Their purpose was to eliminate the roots. In this era, there were too many things that caused the entire family to be destroyed because of his soft heart. Masaru was not angry about the behavior of his retainers, but Masaru was full of guilt for Taijihi.
Speaking of which, the Oda family was too poor, similar to the situation in Komaki Village. Only about 60 stones of miscellaneous grains were found in the entire Nakao City, and even a copper coin could not be found. No wonder after seizing the Feiliang City, the farmers and soldiers of the Oda family began to plunder frantically, and of course they finally got cheaper in the Luo family. Even Masara even issued a forced migration of the territories from the former Oda family territory to the castle town of Fujihiro Castle. At the same time, after each family compensated for 1 stone of miscellaneous grains, there was no such thing as the forced migration of Fujihiro Castle.
At first Zhengliang felt very strange and needed to know that the peasants of this era were generally hard to leave their hometowns, but when he saw the thin and thin people, he understood everything. For them, in this situation, as long as there is food, they can go there. In order to appease these people with fear, Zhengliang personally told them that most of the men who followed the original lords were safe and promised that when they arrived at their new home, those who went out would soon go and reunite with them.
Standing on the earth wall of Nakao City and looking at the group of people gradually fading away, Masaru sighed in his heart. No matter where the farmers were, they were the most honest and silently endured. No matter how great the suffering they suffered, they would endure it and survive like tenacious weeds. With the last leader leaving, the entire Oda family's territory became a real military camp, and there was no one else except the Luo family's military power.
In the evening, Osaki Kyuji and Togo Heiji came to Nakao Castle under the protection of 10 cloakers, and there was also a familiar guest from Masayoro who was with them.
