Chapter 173 Situation
The people on the mountain road were completely quiet because of the sudden actions of Masara and Kizuko Shigetachi.
"Your Highness, the other party has reconciled with the Huzi family on our backs, and now we are asking our family to stop their strategy for the Huzi family. If we break the alliance, we can just refuse it," said Mu Zao Chongzhong.
It turned out that the letter was sent by the Hirado Matsuura family about the fact that they had reached a settlement with the Huzi family, and they also asked the Luo family to stop the strategy of splitting the Huzi family and the Huzi family in the tone of the head of the family. So it is no wonder that Mu Zao Shigetachi was so angry.
"No" Masaruo was silent for a while and finally spoke, "Even if it wasn't for the Matsuura family's letter, my family will temporarily stop."
"Ah? Your Highness?" Kizao Shigetachi believed that the head of the family surrendered to Hirado Matsuura family.
"Look at this letter again." Zhengliang took out another letter from his arms and handed it to Mu Zao Chongzhong.
This letter was entrusted by Heiji Dongxiang to Daxi Guozhi to Zhengliang this morning. The content of the letter was mainly reported on some situations in the territory, and the core was about the content of the grain. After the consumption of the 8,300 stones of grain originally stored in the territory and the needs of the territory construction in the next few months, it is expected that less than 6,000 stones of grain will be left in the end this month. There is only one meaning, which is to tell Zhengliang that the territory's reserves are insufficient.
According to Zhengliang's plan, in order to prevent sudden natural disasters and outbreaks of wars, the territory must have at least 20,000 stones of grain reserves during the winter. Not only has it not increased, but it is being consumed quickly, even Zhengliang was not expecting this. Of course, Zhengliang did not count the 6,500 stones of grain that the Shenwu family had not yet delivered. After all, these are just reservations. Before these grains entered the Luo Family's warehouse, they were not considered to be the real food belonging to the Luo Family.
When fighting, it is indeed food. This time Zhengliang fully understood the essence of this sentence. So after Zhengliang analyzed it, he decided to temporarily stop and focus on building. Relying on the monthly snow-salt trade with the Shenwu family, he would first hoard enough food.
Moreover, this time the Luo family's sudden strategy and the territory of the territory were expanded. It is roughly estimated that the territory stone height was more than 9,000 stones. During the Warring States Period, under normal circumstances, 200 to 300 soldiers were mobilized for every 10,000 stones. However, now the Luo family supported nearly 300 permanent troops with less than 10,000 grain reserves and less than 10,000 territory stone height. In addition, frequent battles, from this point of view, Zhengliang, the lord, seemed a bit overwhelming. If he hadn't vigorously implemented laws that were conducive to internal affairs within the territory and the reason why most of the territorial people in the territory were originally refugees, it would have been full of complaints in the territory now.
"Your Highness, this..." After reading the letter from Heiji Togo, Kizao Chongchae didn't seem to see the difficulties the Luo family is currently facing. Therefore, he asked in confusion.
"Haha. Let's go, follow me there for a walk." Zhengliang smiled slightly, interrupted Mu Zaozhong's loyalty, and took the lead in walking towards a small hill on the side of the road.
"Yes, Your Highness" Mu Zao Chongzhong was slightly stunned, and then bowed and bowed.
On a hill beside the road, Masara stood at the top, looking at the distance at the endless forest. Behind him were Kizunaki Shige. And Masara's three close servants, Akimatsu, Kinishmatsu, and even Yoshida Shigemasatsu followed. Although Kinishmasatsu was injured, as the lord's close servant, he insisted on guarding Masaratsu, while Yoshida Shigemasatsu followed because of curiosity.
"Jung Tachiban, are you wondering why I am ready to agree to the Matsuura family's request?" Masarara did not turn his head, but still looked at the mountains in the distance and said lightly.
"Please forgive me for saying that my family's strength is second only to the Hatan family in the Higashimatsu Peninsula. Even in Matsuura County, I am already an important tyrant. My subordinates think that there is no need for me to agree with the unreasonable request of the Matsuura family." Kizao Shigetachi gave a deep tribute to Masaru's back, and then said calmly.
"Well, from the letter from the Matsuura family, it can be basically concluded that the Huzi family made concessions this time, and the Matsuura family also obtained control of the maritime business road, Hirado, Takama and Hakata." Masayoro did not rush to explain why he was preparing to agree to the other party's request, but instead analyzed the situation of each company.
"So, the Huzi family's naval army can only retreat to the Huzi Bay area," said Mu Zao Chongzhong, "No, the Matsuura family controls the maritime business road, and the Huzi family retreats to the Huzi Bay, and the waters where the Huzi family's naval army withdraws will become a homeless place." Mu Zao Chongzhong reacted immediately.
"Yes, after the Huzi family naval army retreated, the coastal waters from Banwu Bay to Huzi Bay will become a homeless place." Zhengliang nodded and said, "The Matsuura family has no time to take care of this water, so it was when the navy army included it in the territory of our family." Zhengliang expressed his inner thoughts.
"The Huzi family won't let go of this, right?" Mu Zao Chongzhong raised a question.
"This time the Huzi family's naval army was defeated, coupled with the civil strife at home, it will inevitably be greatly reduced. I believe that it will not take the initiative to provoke a war for a long time," said Masayoro, "but the Sashi family has become a hidden danger."
"What?" Mu Zao Chongtaka did not expect that the head of the family was not worried about the Huzi family but the Sashi family, an ally of the family?
"There are no eternal allies, nor eternal enemies," Masara looked up at the blue sky in the distance and said quietly, "After this incident, the Higashimatsuura Peninsula has formed a confrontation between three families. The Huzi family occupies the east side of the peninsula, the Sashi family occupies the south side, and the Hoshi family occupies the west side and the central side, and its strength has exceeded these two families. Sashima Tingshi is by no means a fool. After seeing that the family gradually gained power, even if they do not unite with the Huzi family, they will stand aside and watch the death battle between the Hoshi family and the Huzi family. If I expected it, Sashima Tingshi should be now coercing the little tyrants who occupied the Sashima family's previous territories to return their territory."
"Your Highness is wise. Now I think about it. Since the war started, the series of strange actions of the Sashi family are indeed very likely to be like this." Kizuo Shigetachi thought about it carefully and felt that what Masayora said was indeed very reasonable.
