Warring States Eagle

On December [-]th, the ninth year of Tianwen, in the morning.Today, the weather has turned cloudy and cold, and the changes in the weather caught both the offensive and defensive sides by surprise.And Luo's family even urgently transported cold-proof supplies.The soldiers on both sides also curled up together, without the atmosphere of a life-and-death battle.

Compared with the coldness outside, in the meeting hall of Tangjin City, there is a fierce confrontation at this moment.

"I refuse," Ri shouted at Yamato Shouzi.

After receiving the message from Akabane Shinnosuke, Karatsu City suddenly split into three factions.Of course, the vassal tycoons headed by the Ri Xiang family and the Kuji family are unwilling to go far away. After all, they have no foundation in Iki, and when they get there, they will only rely on Porta even more.The other part of the tyrants who didn't suffer much loss decided to accept the conditions of the Luo family after seeing the general situation and in order to protect their family property.As the head of the family who has the most say in this matter, the previous decision to unite with the Longzoo Temple family has already caused dissatisfaction among some retainers, and this time it was defeated again, which directly caused these people to collectively lose their voices in order to avoid suspicion.

"Hey, Sir Xiang, since you don't want to go, what's the use of staying here? If it's not bad, your territory is already occupied by the Luo family at this moment? You don't mean to let me wait Fight to the death with the Luo family with you, and help you regain the territory?" Someone immediately sneered.

"I want to duel with you!" Ri, who is over 50 years old, shouted heavily to Yamato Shouzi.

"I will accompany you to the end!" The other party did not show any weakness.

"You two, please be calm and don't be impatient!" Ri Gao Zongyi, who was a peacemaker, dissuaded at the right time.

"Humph!", "Humph!" The two hummed to each other.

Tangjin city smelled like gunpowder, but outside the city was the Luo family's military tent.At the moment it is a peaceful atmosphere.After watching Akabane Shinnosuke enter Karatsu City, Masara immediately dispatched Yoshida Shigemasa and Aguda to clean up the remaining small tyrants in Karatsu Bay.The owners and main combat forces of these small and powerful families all ran into Tangjin City, making the Luo family's offensive like a broken bamboo.

While Zhengliang was waiting for Yoshida Shigemasa's further report, it was this morning.A guest is welcomed.

"Your Highness Zhengliang, the poor monk is polite." Master Xuanzhi bowed to Zhengliang.

"Master, you are polite," Zheng Liang returned the courtesy.Zhengliang did not expect that Master Xuanzhi, who had been out of the fight all this time, would come in person today.In fact, there are quite a few temples in the entire Matsuura County, but these temples are basically dominated by the Zen sect headed by Xuanzhi. They flatter the purpose of concentrating on practicing Zen and not participating in battles, which made Matsuura County free from the monks. question.But today this eminent monk who has been staying out of the matter came to visit, and Zheng Liang knew that something must be wrong with the other party.

"Your Majesty, I forgot to excuse you for disturbing me." Master Xuanzhi first said apologetically. "Recently, the poor monk has received a lot of petitions from the local people. They are worried that the battle of several families this time will affect their lives, so the poor monk has no choice but to come here to find out His Highness's opinion on this matter."

It can be said that the sudden rise of the Luo family.Let Matsuura County and even the whole Hizen be mobilized.Even Master Xuanzhi, who is a master of Zen and has a good relationship with Zheng Liang, has to pay attention to the situation of Luo's family.But now that Xuanzhi saw that the Luo family would dominate in the east and north Songpu counties, for the sake of the development of Zen, Master Xuanzhi had to come to inquire about this new powerful man's views on Zen.

"Hehe, Master, you are being polite. I have always admired Master. If Master wants to know the current situation, I can tell you about it," Zheng Liang replied with a smile.Since Xuan Zhi took the initiative to mention such a serious issue, Zheng Liang also made a statement.

Generally speaking, Masara has no malice towards the temples currently in East and South Matsuura.At least they don't have monk soldiers.Moreover, most of them maintain the Zen method of Taoism that is indifferent to the world, which really saves Zhengliang a lot of thoughts.certainly.When it comes to the management of the temples in the territory, the time is not yet ripe.So for the time being, Zheng Liang didn't have any malicious intentions towards these monks.

As for Master Xuanzhi, he is an accomplished eminent monk in Matsuura County and even in Hizen, and Zhengliang also intends to form a goodwill relationship with him.With his support, the time for Zhengliang to get the support of the newly occupied territories will be shortened a lot.And every time this master appears, it almost always brings good things to Zheng Liang.

"I see." After listening to Zheng Liang's description of the entire East and North Songpu County, Master Xuanzhi nodded and said, "Since Your Highness has such a benevolent heart, the poor monk is willing to do his best for it."

"Master, what is this?" Zheng Liang asked suspiciously.Just now, under the pretense of not wanting to cause more death, he boasted that he gave a way of life to the people in Tangjin City. Now it depends on whether the people in the city choose to fight to the death or compromise.

"The poor monk is willing to visit the city in person, so that this catastrophe of life can end as soon as possible," said Master Xuanzhi.

"Then it's Master Lao," Zheng Liang said respectfully.He laughed out loud in his heart at this moment, he never thought that he could get the support of this master at this time.In fact, both Zhengliang and the people in Bodo in the city also knew that the general situation could not be changed, and both sides were just stepping down for the sake of dignity.Now that Master Xuanzhi is willing to personally facilitate this matter, then both parties will be given a step to step down.

With Zhengliang's expectations, Master Xuanzhi entered Tangjin City.

At noon, Yoshida Shigemasa, who was in charge of cleaning up the other tyrants outside Tangjin, rushed back.

"Your Highness, it's really boring. There are only a few ashigaru caregivers left in those tyrants' homes, and the ministers have easily occupied their territory. Now there are still some tyrants in remote locations that Aguda is responsible for cleaning up. "Yoshida Shigemasa complained.

"Hehe, what happened to those captives?" Zheng Liang asked with a slight smile, ignoring the other party's complaints.

"According to His Highness's instructions, the supplies are temporarily sealed up and counted after Togo Heiji-sama arrives tomorrow. Those powerful ashigaru confiscated their weapons and returned them to their homes, and those powerful family members were temporarily escorted. Arrive at the camp and guard them."

"Your Highness, are you going to take those family members directly to the city of Dangjin to persuade the defenders to surrender?" Shigemasa Yoshida asked.

"No, we have to wait a little longer," Zheng Liang shook his head.He is waiting for news from Bodo in the city.

In the afternoon, the gate of Tangjin City opened, and Master Xuanzhi, Shinnosuke Akabane, and Ri Takamune walked out from inside.

When he saw Ri Gao Zongyi, Zhengliang knew that the time had finally come for the East and North Matsuura counties to be unified by the Luo family.
