Chapter 386: Embark on a Journey
>In the forest, although most of the leaves of the trees are left with bare trunks, there are also a large number of winter plants that still have green leaves. Due to the differences in light and nutrients, wild grasses and vines, the participation of vines creates a unique winter outdoor scene, which makes people look very pleasing to the eye. Due to the terrain in the valley, the sky is even more lofty, and white clouds embellish it, bringing an indescribable leisure and tranquility.
Suddenly, a small black dot appeared in the depths of the clouds. Gradually, the black dot became bigger and closer. It turned out to be a strong chestnut goshawk. I saw it soaring in the sky, like a king patrolling his own territory, and his wings gradually lowered cast a shadow of death on the ground.
"Pu Ye!" Perhaps he couldn't stand the pressure from the jing god, an obese pheasant flew out of the hiding yellow grass and was exposed to the sun. He did not seem impatient for the sudden emergence of the "delicious" goshawk, but gradually closed its wings and approached the prey. In addition to the sound of the wind passing by the wings, it also brought out a crisp sound of bells. The pheasant seemed to have also realized its stupid behavior and tried to flap its short wings and flew towards a thorn.
"Swoosh~~Puff!" At this time, a feathered arrow flew over and the pheasant fell to the ground.
"Your Highness is a good archery technique!" Ah Li ran over and mentioned his prey.
"Take it and deal with it, remember to get some good mud by the river." Masayoro said with the long bow in his hand to Bukit Murakami behind him.
"Yes!" Ali and Hiduan happily followed the order. Since the food house jointly established by Taijiuling and Zhengliang's family launched the "beggar chicken", it immediately became popular in the Luo family territory. Many people in the territory rushed to Yegaoshan or the "good food house" in Anyue City to try this delicious food. Ali and Hiduan are even more crazy supporters of this "beggar chicken". Now they are preparing to cook this wild game according to Zhengliang's methods.
"Oh! It's a bit boring!" Masara sighed secretly. After the Luo family's New Year's Eve banquet, after arranging all the affairs of the territory, Masarara led a 100-person cloak and a 300-person low-level samurai team. Accompanied by military advisor Nobusuke Akaba, Cavalry generals Isono Toshimasa, Ametsumasa, Aguda, Kato Kusato, Ari, Hiraku, and Gongmoto Shigetachi, he followed Sefukuji Temple, Lingbu Castle, and Katsuo Castle, and then entered the Chiemaki Kingdom, and finally arrived at the Ouchi Kingdom at the junction of the Chiemaki Kingdom and Fengmaki Kingdom. After that, he was about to embark on the Ouchi Kingdom's journey to the Niko family.
At this moment, the powerful people from the Tuoqian Kingdom and the Toyoshima Kingdom gathered. They all came in response to the call of Yoshitaka Ouchi. Although these guys were harmonious on the surface, they were actually fighting in secret. Many families with hatred were making each other's ideas. The Luo family, which rose like a star, was the focus of attention of these powerful people. Especially after seeing the unified weapon equipment and dress of Luo family, the Luo family became the focus of discussion among the powerful people.
Faced with such a situation, in order to deceive the powerful people, especially the Oui family, Masara, at the suggestion of military advisor Nobunosuke Akaba, Masara took the team to hunt in the wild forests. This move indeed achieved a lot of results. After seeing Masarara's actions, some tycoons shook their heads. They couldn't help but comment in their hearts: deliberately more high-end equipment than others, coupled with a "traveling around" performance, it highlights the appearance of a nouveau riche. This "Eagle in the Former Fat" is obviously showing off.
Zhengliang was not concerned about these comments, and he really hunted down seriously. In secret, he sent people to draw the topographic map along the road to provide information for the simulated sand map of the Luo family, and sent people to investigate the information of the various powerful people who participated in the Nizi family's strategy this time, striving to know themselves and their enemies.
"Your Highness seems to be very unaccustomed to this kind of life." Akaba Nobunosuke said with a smile after seeing Masarara's expression.
"Yeah!" Zhengliang responded from his throat. He suddenly got out of his busy work and suddenly passed by a few more leisurely ripples, which made Zhengliang feel very uncomfortable.
"Haha, Your Highness, there is nothing you can do about this!" Akaba Nobunosuke said with a smile. "This family has been too conspicuous recently. If it is not covered up, it will definitely become the key target for other powerful people to prevent."
"It seems that it's not okay to not pretend!" Masayora sighed. It's really a matter of shooting a gun! This principle of later generations is applicable in that era. Besides, my family has been too troubled recently. First, it fought a coalition war with the Shao Er family, which was organized by the Shao Er family, almost drove out the famous Shao Er family who had been dominating Fei Qian for hundreds of years out of Fei Qian. It even replaced the Shao Er family and became the leader of the Yi Qian country. Then it took the risk of offending the Da Nei family and had a big fight with the Harada family, the traditional retainer of the Da Nei family, and finally forced to enter the bridgehead of the Kuroetsu Castle. The Luo family's move was really a tiger's head. Therefore, the Luo family didn't want to be the focus of attention.
In the Warring States Period, the family's excessive weakness would be regarded as a piece of "fat pork" by the surrounding powerful people, and everyone would want to come and take a bite; but the family was full of aggressiveness and would be regarded as a threat by the surrounding powerful people, so they would unite and weaken you together. Therefore, they must be realized in moderation. What Zhengliang needs to do now is to reduce others' attention to the Luo family. After all, the history of the Luo family has only been two years, and the foundation is insufficient. We must take the opportunity to develop it well.
"Do your Highness think there are a little bit fewer hunting grounds here? And there are limited prey?" Akaba Nobunosuke continued.
"Yes!" Compared to the Lianmian Mountains hunting ground near Anyue City, there are indeed a little fewer hunting grounds here. The prey is just some pheasants, rabbits, etc., and I didn't even see the footprints of a wild boar.
"Then you?" said this, Akaba Nobunosuke deliberately paused, and then continued, "Are you planning to make the world your hunting ground?"
"Hmm... um?" Masara finally raised his eyelids and looked at Nobunosuke Akaha. His eyes suddenly became jingling.
"Your Highness, although your subordinates did not follow His Highness from the beginning of His Highness's achievements, our family became the guardian of Heiqian in just two years from an unknown little family, and controlled the land of a country." Akaba Nobunosuke changed his idle expression and his expression suddenly became serious, "Your Highness, the retainers are willing to follow His Highness in order to survive in this chaotic world, and even get greater merits and allow the family to continue for a long time. Therefore, after following His Highness to obtain a country, they will hope to obtain greater merits."
"Greater merit? You mean?"
"Looking at the various daimyos, in the Western Kingdom, the Hosokawa family, the Otuto family, and the Ototo family are all overlords for a while. I hope that Your Highness can become such an existence. This is also the wish of all the retainers." Akaba Nobunosuke said solemnly.
"Do you use the entire Kyushu as the hunting ground of the Luo family?" Zhengliang said to himself. Zhengliang really didn't seriously consider the issue of his retainers. When he first came here, Zhengliang's only purpose was to survive in this troubled times. As the Luo family gradually became stronger, the requirements for survival were getting higher and higher. Now that he became the lord of a country, the retainers in the family have new ambitions.
But after thinking about it, Zhengliang also felt that it was normal for his retainers to have such ideas. They followed you and fought for life and death for you, just to make achievements and make a fortune to allow the family to continue with wealth. The greater the power of the head of the family, the better their situation will be. Moreover, even if the Luo family does not intend to join the muddy waters of the heroes, will others allow it? There are conflicts in the world. Before the whole country is unified, this kind of
Disputes will not decrease. In this case, it is better to participate actively than to participate passively and take the initiative in your own hands? Thinking of this, Zhengliang couldn't help but find sadly that sometimes war is not actually initiated by people, but rather caused by the surrounding environment. In general, history. Even if you plan to stagnate, the wheel of history still continues to run according to its established trajectory, and even drags you forward.
"No. Your Highness, your hunting ground is this world!" Akaba Nobunosuke reminded. In his opinion, the stage of Kyushu is too small, and the head of his family should be this world at present.
"Nosuke! The stage of the world is still too big for the family, which has less than one country. Let's be more pragmatic. For now, let's try your skills on the stage of Kyushu first!" Zhengliang looked at the distant sky and said slowly. The bold words matched their strength. With the current strength of the Luo family, it's better to think about how to earn their own world in Kyushu. Thinking of this, Zhengliang couldn't help but suddenly develop ambitions.
"Since that's the case, Your Highness, this time I have great potential to support the Ouka family's strategy to the Nizi family." Nobunosuke Akaba said with the flow.
"Oh?" Masara turned his head and looked at Nobunosuke Akaba.
"The primary purpose of Your Highness's trip is to calm the suspicion of the overlord of the Danei family through actions, right? Not only does I control most of the territory of Feiqian, but I have just extended my power into Jiqian. It is impossible for the Danei family to be suspicious of the family. But unexpectedly, in the end, the Danei family finally agreed that the fact that the family had occupied the fortress in the middle of the mediation of the Fukagotsugaki Castle was obviously inseparable from the support and execution of Your Highness this time." Nobunosuke Akaba said.
Masaru nodded and signaled Akaba Nobunosuke to continue speaking.
"In addition, although our family has arranged for the investigation of the powerful forces to strengthen their investigation of the information of the powerful, such as the Jiqian and Jiqian, this is far from comparable to the situation of the powerful people close to observe. Our family can also carefully investigate the situation of these powerful people through this time."
"Yes!" Zhengliang nodded. Although Zhengliang only brought 400 people by his side this time, in fact, there were a large number of black eagles and detectives secretly following him in the dark. In addition to secretly protecting Zhengliang, they also had tasks of inquiring about information from the powerful and drawing topographic maps along the way, and even some tasks arranged by Zhengliang temporarily.
