The reason why Masara was arranged in this way was mainly because after he had comprehensively checked the information about the Sahiro family and Sahiro Yoshiki, Masara found that although Sahiro Yoshiki was a powerful general in the Ototo family, this person was always extremely cautious and even a little suspicious (it was this kind of personality that allowed him to maintain his family's wealth in many wars in the history of the Ototo family).

As a later generation, Masayoshi was very familiar with the knowledge of psychological warfare, so Masayoshi simply arranged the current appearance of being ready to attack the city but not being ready to attack the city, which made Sabuki Weijiao doubtful.

What's even more coincidental is that when a team of troops from the Luo family secretly plundered the Sakai family's territory, they actually captured an important official around Sakai Weijiao. So Masayoshi simply used the trick and released the retainers of the Sakai Weijiao back, and intimidated the other party to convey his words to Sakai Weijiao, otherwise the rumors that it was written by the Luo family would spread in the Sakai family's territory.

Just as Masara expected, after Yashiro returned, in order to clear the stains on his body, he honestly transferred Masara's words to Sahiro Sahiro's sect to Sahiro Sahiro again, which increased Sahiro's doubts again. Of course, even so, Masara still felt that it was not enough, so he deliberately let Sahiro Sahiro escape. Everything Sahiro Sahiro said after returning to Sahiro's house was true, but it was true and false, which made Sahiro Sahiro suspicious.

After confirming that Sabuki Weijiao knew that the Luo family army had already been in danger of going around the city and entering the rear to loot the population and materials, Masayoshi still stopped moving, and knew that his arrangement had been basically successful. As long as he added another piece of material, the other party would definitely not dare to attack and block the Luo family's looting and the construction of fortifications.

So today, Masayoshi designed a scene of the people who were led by the Sabuki family who were used to escort the robbery outside the city, and the ambush in it did exist, with the purpose of telling Sabuki Weijiao that there were conspiracies prepared by the Luo family waiting for him everywhere outside the city, which would naturally strengthen the decision that Sabuki Weijiao could not stick to in his heart.

After this scene today, since then, the Luo family army can freely enter the Sabuki family's territory and plunder the population and material wealth. Anyway, the purpose is only one. That is, to plunder every inch of the Sabuki family's territory and not leave any power for the other party.

Of course, although this series of layouts has been quite complicated, it is a strategy for Masayoshi to use attack instead of defense. Otherwise, once the Luo family army does not attack the opponent's city, the other party will inevitably take the initiative to fight, which will affect the construction of Masayoshi's fortifications and the comprehensive clearance plan for the Sahiro family's territory.

Moreover, judging from the strength of the current army of the Luo family, the army will definitely be defeated by the Sahiro family in the field. Even as long as Masaru is willing to increase the damage, he can also capture Yicheng before the reinforcements of the Ito family and Shimazu family arrive in the rear.

However, the Sakai family's use of the castle is actually just a bait in Masara's eyes. His real goal is to reinforcements from the Ito family and Shimazu family. He attracts the opponent's main force here. Then he can build this place into a familiar battlefield as much as possible (this time of clearance and fortifications are to lay out his own battlefield). This is Masara's real purpose.

As for whether the Sabuki family will withdraw from here and retreat to the direction of Hinata, thus causing all Masarara's previous arrangements to be ruined? This can be seen from the fact that Sabuki Weijiao still stubbornly opposes the Luo family after the destruction of the Zong family. Although Sabuki Weijiao is suspicious, he is very stubborn in dealing with some things. And even if the other party really retreats, the Luo family army can follow and attack at this time, at least completely unify the territory of Fenghou Kingdom. In short, no matter what, this time, the Luo family will be the party that makes a profit.

However, Masayoshi's arrangement was successful, but Sahiro Yoshiko was troubled. From the beginning of March to the end of March, Sahiro Yoshiko was suffering.

As the Luo family continued to loot outside the city, at the beginning, there were still people who led the people to come to the city for help, but as time went by, fewer and fewer people came to ask for help. Instead, there were thick smoke rising from all over the territory every day. Obviously, there were looting by the Luo family army there.

While facing the inner torment of the territories outside the city being constantly plundered and damaged by the other party, the anger and dissatisfaction of the samurai and soldiers outside the city, and even the alienation of the retainers outside the city, Sabuki Weijiao felt even more scared. If this continues, the Luo family army does not need to attack the city, and it will be in civil strife for the city. In addition, the less and less food in the warehouse makes Sabuki Weijiao even more desperate. If it weren't for this time, with the full assistance of his younger brother Sabuki Shintaku, he would have fallen long ago.

Fortunately, just when Sahiro Yoshikaku was surrounded by enemies, reinforcements from Ito family and Shimazu family finally entered the border of Sahiro family. His savior finally arrived.

"What? Umemure Castle has long been lost, and Shinna Tadatomoto is gone?" When Ito Yoshiyuki, Shimazu Takahisa and Sabuki Sakuro met in the city, Shimazu Takahisa finally learned about the fall of Umemure Castle. After learning that his powerful generals had no news, Shimazu Takahisa was shocked.

After the three parties formed an alliance, facing the continuous small-scale harassment and invasion of the Sakai family's borders by the Roh family, the Ito family sent military forces several times to support and provided a lot of material support. In contrast, the Shimazu family seemed to have no support. Therefore, in order to express the Shimazu family's determination to fight against the Roh family, Shimazu Kiku sent Shimazu Tadao to lead a team of elite troops to the Sakai family's Ken Castle, Umemu Rei Castle, to assist in the defense. However, now there is news that Shimazu Tadao has disappeared and the elite troops are missing.

You should know that Shinna Tadaomoto is not only a powerful general under his command, but also the Shinna family is also a powerful family in the Satsuma region that supports Shinna family. If Shinna family learns this news, they still don’t know what the situation will be. What’s more, losing a team of elite troops will also have a lot of impact on the Shinzu family’s strength. Originally, Shinna Tadaomoto thought that Meimurei City was so strong that even if he lost to the Luo family in the wild, Shinna Tadaomoto could still stick to the city to wait for reinforcements to rescue. As a result, now...

Just as Takahisa Shimazu was thinking about the dead general, Ito Yoshiyuki looked at Sahiro Hokage with some confusion and asked: "Master Wei Jiao, please forgive me for being rude. When we entered your territory, we found that the villages along the way seemed to have been burned. Why is this?"
