Chapter 591 Nine hundred thousand stone name
In the early summer of the 17th year of the First Seventeenth year, after leaving Togo Heiji and Akaba Nobusuke to take over the territory occupied by Hirago Kyoto, Masara again led a large army to Asu County, the old nest of the Omiya Shi family.
The army that followed Masayora this time was equipped with more than 90 cloaks and more than 300 samurai teams. The reason why they were not full was that in the Feihou strategy, some cloaks and samurai were injured, and now they can only stay in the safe area for the time being to continue treatment.
In addition, the first regular football team of more than 400 people led by Hoshika, Tetsusuke and Asakura Sectida; the sixth regular football team of more than 400 people led by Hoshikaji Nobuyuki, Gongmori Shigetachi, Kuroki Shigelian, and Masatozo Luo family. These two teams will be the main force of the Asu County strategy this time. The total of more than 300 people of the gentry of the surrendered tyrants from all over the country will also follow the army.
Because Kakai Nao's request to continue to rebel against his old masters, Masara left the seventh standing football team he led in the Hirago area, Yoshikawa Hiroki and Komura Moto Takashi left support, while Takasaka Masanonoki continued to follow the team. Kakai Nao and others' mission was to assist the Inner Political Pavilion led by Togo Heiji and Akaba Nobusuke to speed up the reception of Hirago's newly occupied territory.
Since the eastern part of Himego is mainly mountainous and is not suitable for the combat of the horse riding team, the first standing cavalry troop led by Isono Masato was also left to assist Togo Heiji and Akaba Nobusuke.
Because the mountain road was difficult to move, Masarago abandoned his plan to go directly to Wuzicheng and follow the mountain road to enter the hinterland of the Omiyashi family, and instead changed to enter the Iwao Castle of Shangyicheng County from Kenshida Castle. After renounced with Kato Kanzo and Asu Wei-chan who were stationed there, he then entered the foot of the foothills on the southern side of Mount Asu.
The active volcanoes and hot springs are spread across Asu Mountain, which divides Asu County into two major basins, north and south. The place where Masayoro's army is located is the smaller South Asu Basin, while the Omiya Shinnoku-kuan and the important town of Topu Castle are located in the North Asu Basin on the other side of Asu Mountain.
At the end of June, Masara's army had already marched to the Kurokawa shore on the southern Asu border. Kurokawa is a small river formed by the Asu volcanic lake. As long as you cross this river, you will officially enter the Asu County.
"Kansuke, I will enter Kita Aso before July." Masarara said, looking at the bonfire in front of him. July is officially entering midsummer. Such a season is very unfavorable for marching and fighting in the mountains and forests.
Unlike the planned and built tourist attractions in later generations, At this time, there were wilderness everywhere around Mount Asu, even the mountain roads that often pass by were actually rugged and difficult to walk. In such weather, not only do you have to endure the sultry heat, but you also need to beware of mosquitoes, snakes and rats at any time, especially those almost ubiquitous drought leeches. In addition, the rugged mountain roads have brought great trouble to the transportation of logistics food and grass. Therefore, in such an environment, the longer the march will delay, the lower the morale of the military will drop. Even the Luo family army, which has been trained and has been through many battles, is no exception.
At this time, as the military advisor of the army, Kanasuke Yamamoto wore a square scarf and covered with cloth Yuori on his armor. He sat by the campfire. Seeing Masarara's figure, he suddenly stood up and pushed the seated Kumarara to Masara.
"Lord, according to the news that Black Hawk reported this evening, Asu Wei-Gen in the Hamanomiya seems to have just learned about the incident under Kenshida City. During this war, the Hamanomiyaki was in chaos."
"Well. The time is almost the same." Masayoshi nodded. After the battle at Kenshita City, the Luo family took only a few days to sweep away many areas of Feihou. Although there were barriers from rugged mountain roads, during this period, the fleeing soldiers of the Otomo family's coalition should be able to rush back to the Omiya Shi family to report the news.
Yamamoto Kansuke looked at the shimmering Kurokawa outside the camp. "What is the lord planning to deal with Asu Weifeng?"
"Do you have any objections to my handling of Asu Weifeng?" asked Masara. After meeting Kafari in Uzi City, Masara also personally met Asu Weifeng, who had become a prisoner of the Luo family. After Asu Weifeng personally promised to surrender to the Luo family, and after Kafari's pleading with Kafari, Masara promised to let Asu Weifeng go and his son's life. Yamamoto Kamasuke raised this question at this time, and he must have his own ideas about it.
Yamamoto Kansuke glanced at Masaru and silently added firewood to the bonfire. In the mountain wind, thick smoke rose from Masaru and floated from Masaru to the opposite bank of Kurokawa.
"Lord, although our family will definitely transfer the seal to the lord after the surrender of Asu Weifeng and his son, it may cause the hearts of other retainers to be disappointed. Besides, even if Asu Weifeng and his son were transferred, they will not die for a day, and the leaders of Asu County will not feel a sense of belonging to the lord. Please don't forget the lord's rebellion from the territory that was a few years ago!" Yamamoto Kanasuke was obviously persuading Masaru to break his promise and get rid of Asu Weifeng and his son.
After listening to Yamamoto Kazusuke's words, Masaru pondered. As the territory became larger and larger, Masaru was indeed becoming more and more concerned when considering things. In terms of the handling of Asu Weifeng and his son, Masaru was more considering the use of this to buy the group of fat queens, the fat queen family, so he finally decided to just transfer the seal of Asu Weifeng and his son. Relatively speaking, Yamamoto Kazusuke looked at this matter from the perspective of fundamentally ensuring the stability of the Luo family, so he raised objections.
"Lord, it is necessary to temporarily appease Asu Weifeng and his son, so as to successfully take down Asu County and let more local wealthy families join our family, but we can make an excuse for rebellion afterwards and take the opportunity to get rid of them. In fact, only a glass of poisonous wine can be used to solve the matter quietly." Yamamoto Kazusuke saw that Masaru was interested in his suggestion, so he continued to whisper.
"You can't do it too early. At least you have to wait until the family has completely controlled the fat and completely enfeoff these local wealthy families to various places and cannot unite together before you can start." Zhengliang whispered at the dark shadows in the distance.
"Lord wise!" Yamamoto Kazusuke knew that Masaru agreed to his suggestion, so he immediately took the order.
Of course, the conversation between Masara and Yamamoto Kansuke, which determined the fate of Asu Weifeng and his son was not known to others. After resting on the shore of Kurokawa for a night, the army officially crossed Kurokawa the next day, and then bypassed several lines of defense of the Omiya Shi family at an extremely fast speed and arrived directly at the Honcastle Hamanoka of the Omiya Shi family.
After Asu Weifeng came forward to persuade, Hamatsuka officially announced his surrender, and then the remaining Asu family members surrendered one after another, and Zhengliang soldiers took Asu County without taking action. At this point, the entire Feihou Kingdom, except for the last half of Qiumo County, was included in the power territory of the Luo family.
