Since he was imprisoned by the Oui family and was forced to ced the three places of Yesu County, Shangzu County, and Xiazu County, which are located in the western part of the Chumaki Country, to the Luo family, both for the Oui family and the Luo family.

Yes, even though the Qiuyue family was still under the coercion and inducement of the Luo family, they were able to quickly return to their territory in Anshou County, Jiama County and Suirang County, ensuring that the Qiuyue family would not be annexed by the Oui family, but the Luo family always took advantage of the opportunity to rob the Qiuyue family of Yesu County, the upper and lower counties of the Qiuyue family, so no matter what, the Qiuyue family was still hostile to the Luo family.

This time, at the suggestion of Takao Naito, Yoshitaka Ouchi ordered the Qiuyue family to send troops to support the Sonsan family. The Qiuyue family naturally would not agree, so he found an excuse to defend the border of the territory after the battle with the Luo family last year.

At the same time, Qiuyue Wenzhong also wrote a letter to Zhengliang in the name of his allies. Qiuyue Wenzhong also wrote a clear understanding of Qiuyue's attitude towards the conflict between the Luo family and the big family: Zhengliang, I can tell you this matter that I have fulfilled my obligations as an ally. This time, the Luo family and the big family have small businesses and small businesses, so they will not join. The Luo family should not let the Qiuyue family send troops to help with their allies. It would be great that the Qiuyue family could not help each other without helping each other.

Zhengliang didn't care about the attitude of the Qiuyue family. Although the Luo family and the Qiuyue family had secretly signed an alliance, this was caused by the coercion and inducement of the Luo family. At this time, the Qiuyue family treated the Luo family with such an attitude. And as Qiuyue Wenzhong said in the letter, shortly after the Qiuyue family passed the letter to Zhengliang, the number of defenders on the border with the Luo family's territory really began to decrease. The reduced defenders were naturally sent to the border border with the Da Nei family. After all, the Qiuyue family would anger the Da Nei family if they openly disobey the orders of the sect leader.

It was true that as the Qiuyue family expected, Yoshitaka Ouchi was really angry by the reply from the Qiuyue family and the act of increasing troops on the border. However, there was not enough military force to conquer the Qiuyue family for a while, and this was not the best time to conquer the Qiuyue family. Just when he was in a headache, another retainer, Toyomae Guardian Daisugi Shigezuki, offered him a clever plan, which was to prohibit merchants from entering the Qiuyue family's territory, and also prohibit salt from entering the Qiuyue family's territory.

Generally speaking, even in the war stage, merchants can enter and exit areas in the war (the only thing that seems a bit weird is probably the only Luo Family territory that strictly implements the policy of closing the country). In this way, the gangs of various regions can buy some things that are not in the region, and the local lord Daming can also obtain military resources that are not in the local territory.

After the border blockade policy implemented by the Danei family at the border, as the most important food resource, Qiuyue family can still ensure self-sufficiency. Some strategic resources such as iron ore and copper ore have also reserved a certain amount in the territory warehouse. However, the supply of salt, which is necessary for the daily life of the people, has been cut off.

Due to limited technical level, each daimyo basically relies on the ocean to obtain salt. The Qiuyue family's geographical location is located in the east of Chuk-chin Country, separated from Feng-chin Country in the east by a Hiyoshi Mountain Range. To the north is the territory of the Danei family, and to the west and south are controlled by the Luo family. It can be said that as long as the passage connecting the sea to the north is blocked by the Danei family, the Qiuyue family will lose the passage for salt supply.

"Lord, it may be inappropriate to continue like this. The merchants cannot transport salt into the territory. With the current salt reserves of our family, it may not last long." Seeing that the business road was blocked, the Qiuyue family's retainers reported worriedly.

"It would be fine if it was a war. Now that the trade road is blocked, the salt cannot be transported in. There is really no way to do it. Let the leaders and soldiers reduce the use of salt, and even do not use salt in food." Qiuyue Wenzhong also sighed. At this time, Qiuyue Wenzhong did not realize the harm of lack of salt (there is no way, you cannot let an ancient person know the importance of salt to the human body in advance).

In this way, the situation where Qiuyue's family was unable to transport salt for several months. Therefore, the harm caused by the lack of salt was finally reflected at this time. Salt is not only the basic material of food, it is also an indispensable nutrient for the human body. Once the human body lacks salt, it will feel tired and become unstable. In severe cases, it will even cause drowsiness or dizziness, which will lead to nothing being able to do. Gradually, the territory of Qiuyue's family lost its former vitality. When the number of people with no eyes gradually increased, Qiuyue's literary circle finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

"This won't work! Before all the reserved salt is used up, you must find a way to solve it. Is it necessary to start a war with the Da Nei family? But once the war begins, the Qiu Yue family may not only be unable to open the business road, but will even induce the Da Nei family to retaliate." Qiu Yue Wentian thought anxiously.

"Lord, why not ask for help from Zhengliang Gong to the west?" At this time, a retainer suggested.

"Call for help from the Luo family?" Qiu Yue Wenzhong still frowned after hearing this. Since Luo Family Masaliang was forced and tempted to cut off the territory of the three counties from him, Qiu Yue Wenzhong no longer wanted to deal with Zhengliang. In his opinion, Zhengliang was simply a devil. If he asked Luo Family Masaliang for help when the Qiu Yue family was in trouble, the devil might make any request to make him vomit blood. What's more, not long ago, he had just written a letter to Luo Family Masaliang, telling the other party that he is very busy now and is not interested in joining the arm wrestling between you and Yoshitaka Ouchi. Now he turned his head and went up to ask for help with his face and dignity, which put his face in it!

So, after another hesitation, another half month passed. At this time, the hierarchical people in the Qiuyue family's territory had already begun to lack salt on a large scale. Even the Qiuyue family's army did not have much salt reserved. The hierarchical people began to complain, and the defenders on the border also became unstable. Qiuyue Wenzhong could no longer sit still, so he had to bow his head and send an envoy to Zhengliang for help.

Masara, who had already learned about the actual situation of the Qiuyue family through a detailed message hidden in the Qiuyue family's territory, had been waiting for the Qiuyue family's request for help. After knowing that the Qiuyue family's envoy arrived, Masara deliberately avoided the direct meeting with the other party, deliberately expressed his anger at the Qiuyue family's failure to cooperate with the Luo family to exert pressure on the Ouka family, and then sent Yamamoto Kansuke to meet the Qiuyue family's envoy.

"Since the other party agreed to allow our merchant house to enter and exit his territory freely, we also need to help this ally." Yamamoto Kanasuke said that the Akitsuki family had accepted the several conditions proposed by the Luo family, and Masara immediately ordered.

"You only know that the other party is your ally, but judging from the conditions that even you may not be willing to accept, you are not facing an ally now, but instead think you are treating prisoners of war!" Yamamoto Kansuke couldn't help but mutter in his heart after hearing this.

With the order of Zhengliang, a large amount of salt that had been prepared long ago was transported to the Qiuyue family territory in the east through the ancient mountain city at the border of Yasui County, Jiqian.

"Lord! Lord! Salt, salt is here!" The retainers, who learned that the first batch of hundreds of stones of salt were sent by the Luo family on the territory's borders, immediately came to Qiuyue Wenzhong happily to report the report.

Soon, as the envoy of the Luo family who was responsible for delivering salt this time, he also came to Qiuyue Wenzhong.

"Master, this is a letter from the repair doctor who asked the villain to bring you." The visitor was the Ai Ji Zhiji who was responsible for taking care of Qiuyue Wenzhong at the house of the divine house and the Qiuyue family who was the second son Qiuyue Zhongshi.

"Why are you okay with Madam and Fujisaburo?" After receiving the letter, Fujimoto Mitsuko took the letter, he did not immediately open it up. Instead, he asked the servants who sent the letter about the news about Jiji and Akimoto Mitsuko. Last year, when the Oui family fought fiercely with the Luo family, Jiji's brother, Saoce, was a retainer of the Luo family, and he forced the Qiuyue family to cede land and negotiate peace. He even forced Qiuyue's love Jiji and his second son back to the Luo family as hostages. During this period, he could only know the situation of Jiji and his mother and son from the letter sent to him by Jiji. Now when he saw the servants of the two mother and sons, he naturally had to ask.

"Hong Fu, the head of the family, both the wife and the second young master are very good. The second young master has already learned to speak in Yaya. The wife is telling him to call the head of the family." The servant replied immediately.

"Really? Hahaha..." Hearing that his second son was learning how to call him, he showed a long-lost fatherly smile on his face, "It's so good, so good!"

In fact, sending Zhiji and his son to Zhiji's mother and son to settle down in the Shenwu family of Zhiji. After all, as an envoy of the Luo family, Shenwu Shaoce was too tough last year, and eventually cut off the three counties from the Qiuyue family. Among them, Yesu County was the place where the Qiuyue family started. The retainers and other wives and concubines in the Qiuyue family will definitely vent their resentment towards Shenwu Shaoce and the Luo family to Shenwu Shaoce's sister Zhiji and his child Fujisaburo. In this case, it would be better to take the opportunity to send Zhiji back to his mother's house, which will make their mother and son's life a little more pleasant.

After learning about the situation between Tomohime and Fujisaburo, Akiyue Wenzhong finally opened the letter sent by Masaru, and the letter read:
Chapter completed!
