The only remaining land passage on Shangluo was to start from An Yiguo and follow the Shanyang Road that the governor of Danuei Yoshihide was walking towards Kyoto when Danuei Yoshikawa was rising. △↗

During this period of the Warring States Period, Shanyang Road from west to east included the eight regions of the Nagato country, Zhou Fangguo, Anyi country, Preparation of the Later Kingdom, Preparation of the Former Kingdom, America, and Bomo Kingdom.

At present, the Luo family has established a foundation in the Nagamon Kingdom, Zhou Fangguo, and Anyi Kingdom. Therefore, if you go to Luo from this land route, you can only follow the remaining five countries of the Prefecture Kingdom, prepare for the Later Kingdom, prepare for the former Kingdom, the United States, and the Bomo Kingdom along the way, and finally fight the final decisive battle with the Sanhao family in the Sejin Kingdom, then you can succeed in the Luo.

Of course, following this road can not only temporarily avoid the Sanhao family, which is in full swing at this time (after all, according to historical development, Zhengliang probably remembers that in the next one or two years, the Sanhao family will fall into civil unrest. At that time, it was the time when the Luo family's Shangluo team arrived in the State of Shejin. The Sanhao family that the Luo family had to face would be much weaker), but also could also take a different way of Shangluo.

Yes, Masara was indeed planning to take a path of Shangluo that was different from all the previous overlords of Shangluo. In history, all the overlords of Shangluo led their army to advance to the Kyoto area. Some of the forces along the way were directly destroyed, but most of the forces surrendered to the Daming of Shangluo. This was dangerous. Since they did not fully control these local forces for a while, it was likely to lead to danger on Shangluo's way (such as Imakawa Yoshimoto), or after Sustained, because they were far from their territory, the forces that had already surrendered appeared to rebel. This led to their old nest being coveted (such as Yoshihiko Ouchi). So in Masarara's view, such Shangluo was unsuccessful.

Therefore, Masaliang did not intend to lead a large army to advance to Luo directly by quickly pushing, but instead led a certain military force to gradually annex and digest the forces along the way. What Masaliang needed was to create a completely controlled way along the way of Shangluo, which was completely controlled by him and fully implemented the Luo family rules, so that the territory on this road became a link between Masaliang and the Luo family's old nest Kyushu and the Xiguo region in the Kyoto area. Allows Masaliang to maintain contact with the territory at any time.

Of course, if you follow Zhengliang's approach to Luo River, you will first face two difficulties, one of which is how to deal with the issues of the forces along the way.

In response, Zhengliang and his retainers decided to deal with it, that the forces that did not surrender would be destroyed directly (the captive became slaves from the Luo family and moved to Jiuzhou and other places, and joined the local slave farms); the forces that surrendered would adopt various ways of increasing compensation and transfer them to the territory of Jiuzhou or the Luo family in the Western Kingdom. If the forces that surrendered were willing to cooperate, then all kinds of compensation would be abundant. If they did not cooperate, they would have to face a fierce blow from the Luo family.

With the strength of the Luo family now, this is completely possible. With the relevant preparations of various institutions during the Luo family's dormant period in the past two years, the various consumptions in the process of transcending these forces have been prepared.

After deciding on the solution to the first problem, you will face the second problem. This question is whether you should occupy all the countries and regions you pass along the way one by one.

The answer is obviously no. You must know that in the areas where the Luo family Shangluo is about to pass through, the Beihou Kingdom, the Beiqian Kingdom, and the Bomo Kingdom, the central and northern regions are plateaus and forest terrain, and various powerful forces are scattered in the ground. If the Luo family wants to fully control these areas, they must enter these areas with complex terrain to suppress these forces one by one. In this way, the Luo family really doesn't know that it will be successful in going to Luo in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

Therefore, during the discussion between Zhengliang and his retainers, the Luo family's way of Shangluo was mainly to completely occupy the coastal plains and hilly areas of the countries of the Later Kingdom, China, the Former Kingdom, and the Bomo Kingdom. As for the central and northern areas of these countries, the Luo family had completely digested its coastal areas and then slowly penetrated it. The purpose was to create a Shangluo path in the coastal areas of these countries that was completely controlled by the Luo family.

Of course, since the coastal areas of these countries are mainly plain terrain, this terrain is naturally more suitable for farming, so many forces from various countries are gathered on it, so the Luo family's Shangluo this time was not easy.

In general, when choosing this path, Luo doesn’t have to face too strong forces. The only forces that can make Masayoshi feel a little worried are the Zi family, the Maori family and the Ni.

However, among these two families, the Nizi family is not only an ally of the Luo family, but also among the several countries that the Luo family passed by Shangluo, their power is mainly concentrated in the northern regions of these countries. There is no direct conflict of interest with the southern coastal areas that the Luo family is preparing to occupy. More importantly, the current Nizi family's governor, Nizi Haruki, is seriously ill in bed. Even if he complains about the Luo family's actions of invading the countries of Shanyang Road that it is under its name, he does not have much energy to deal with it.

As for the Maori family, because they were picked by the Luo family during the Battle of Itsujima, they not only lost the opportunity to annex the Danai family's territory in the Western Region, but also the Luo family took the opportunity to encroach many of its territory in Anyi Country. Even the Beihou Kingdom, Bei China and other places within their sphere of influence were infiltrated by the Luo family.

Previously, Komoto Seong and others of the Maori family tried to take advantage of the opportunity of sending an envoy to the Luo family to invite doctors to treat the disease and secretly inquire about the information of the Luo family, but were caught by the Luo family's intelligence cabinet. The Luo family also took the opportunity to tear apart the peace agreement signed with the Maori family under the mediation of the shogunate and the court, and directly mobilized troops to attack the Maori family (this was actually Masayoshi's false action, and the real purpose of the mobilization was actually aimed at the coastal areas of the Beihou Kingdom). They even joined the Nizi family to cut off the Maori family's trade routes and salt roads, so that the Maori family could only obtain goods, salt and other materials through the farther Beihou Kingdom, which was in China and other places.
