When Masara received the good news from Yoshida Shigemasa, it was already evening that day.

At this time, his team was stationed in the dilapidated courtyard of a deserted Asu Shrine at the junction of Jigoku and Fenghouku. He will be here for a night tonight.

Since the 500 peasant soldiers temporarily recruited by Heiji Togo had arrived at Hiraki Castle in Toyogo this afternoon, after replied the operations of various armies, he immediately left some injured cloaks and samurai to lead the newly arrived peasant soldiers to defend the castle, and then set off to return to Hiraki to command the battle situation. Masanobu Takasaka and Sotodi Asakura were temporarily left as the main defensive generals of Hiraki Castle and Yufugao level respectively.

Among the good news sent by Yoshida Shigemasa, in addition to the detailed reports on the capture of Shimoyama Castle, there are also detailed reports on the forced surrender of Akashi Castle.

After the fall of Yamaki Castle, in fact, the only Akashi Castle in the territory of the Chihou Kingdom was left in the Ouchi family. However, Akashi Castle had completely become an isolated island. To the west is Asahiyama Castle of the Luo Family of the Hibishi Kingdom. To the south is the Chihou River, and on the south bank of the Chihou River, it was completely in the pocket of the Luo Family. To the east is the Iwaki Mountain Castle and Madi Ryo Castle of the Akitsuki Family of the Chihou Kingdom, which were also hung with the Luo Family's family pattern flags, which obviously belonged to the Luo Family's territory. Now even the only Shanji Castle connected to it is located in the north is also surrounded. Akashi Castle has been completely surrounded by the forces of the Luo Family.

Just as everyone in the city was panicked, the Luo family army suddenly came outside the city. At the same time, a samurai who originally belonged to the Ouchi family brought Sugi Xingyun's head into the city. Obviously, the samurai came to persuade him to surrender.

After several struggles, after getting life guaranteed, the defenders in the city finally chose to surrender. So Yoshida Shigemasa took Akashi Castle without taking action.

At this point, all the forces of the Ouchi family in the Chihou Kingdom were taken over by the Luo family. Now only the three wealthy families in the Chihou Kingdom who had been serving in the Otomo family, Hoshino and Kusino families. Masarae returned this time and needed to solve the problems of these three wealthy families.

After all, it was the third night of the Luo family's night attack on the coalition forces of the Oui family and the Oto family. Tomorrow is the fourth day. The news of this war has been enough time to reach the ears of the rich families in Kyushu, and the Daoui family should have begun to deal with the counterattack of the Luo family. Therefore, Masayoshi must free the troops of the territory as much as possible before these powerful people take action. These three families are delaying the whereabouts of the Luo family's army at this time, so Masayoshi naturally has to take action to solve it himself.

Thinking of this, Masara looked at the three boxes placed on a stone next to it. The three boxes contained Sugi Xingyun, Chusun Weimen and the heads of Tamkita Ken. If he had seen three heads in such a broken shrine in his previous life, Masarara would have been so scared that he had already escaped. Now it was like looking at a very ordinary item, and there was no thought of panic in his heart. Even Masara himself was a little surprised. It seemed that after experiencing several life and death, even these things were very open-minded. He had completely integrated into this world and the role of the entire lord.

"Bring the prisoners in."

After staring at the three boxes for a while, Zhengliang immediately spoke. A cloaked man not far away immediately walked out quickly.

Soon, a samurai in his thirties was brought in. The samurai was the one who arrived at Riji Castle in advance that day and asked reinforcements to receive Otoyo Yoshiki. This guy fell into a coma after delivering the letter, and was left in the room by Usuki Kansushi while escaping, and eventually became an innocent prisoner of the Luo family.

The reason Masara brought him with him this time was mainly due to his special identity. This samurai was named Toji Kanfang, who was the half-brother of Toji Kanlian (Trenchantha Yuki). Toji Kanlian married Toji Kanfeng's daughter Insuku Sok's daughter Insuku Sokanfeng (Nihime/Taoshiyuan, Tatehana Chiyo's mother) as a side room (In the future, after the daughter of the Masara's wife, Hitoshi Kanzhen, was divorced because of Toji Kanzhen's rebellion, Insuku Sokan became the main room). It is believed that the first stop of Toji Kanfang's persuading surrender of Toji Kanzhen, who must have unexpected results, and at least they can gain the initial trust of the Toji Kanzhen.

So after Hujijian was brought to him, Masayoshi pointed to the three wooden boxes that had been opened and said:

"I guess you already know who these people are?"

The latter nodded immediately. Originally, after learning that he was captured, Toji Kanfang had been unwilling to surrender to the Luo family. As a result, after experiencing the so-called "Top Ten Tortures" of the Luo family Black Hawks, he decisively chose to surrender.

"Tomorrow I will send someone to escort you to Changyan City with these three gifts." Zhengliang continued: "You don't need to persuade the family to surrender. You just need to honestly tell the people of the family to know everything you have experienced from that night's battle until now."

After receiving Masayoshi's instructions, the latter nodded immediately to show his understanding. So on the second day, Masayoshi personally led a large army to join the Jiafei-Zhi-Zhi army outside Changyan City. Then Toji Jianfang came alone outside the city gate of Changyan City and loudly reported his identity.

"Let him come in." After learning that the person who came was a Huji Preparation, the supervisor of the family in his fifties finally chose to meet the Huji Preparation.

The Toji Jianfang, who was received, was finally pulled up to the top of the city by the soldiers of the Wenzhuan House on the top of the city with bamboo baskets and ropes. Then the Toji Jianfang saw the Wenzhuan House's photos.

"What's your trip?" After meeting and bowing, the two parties asked straight to the point.

"My elder, I will give the gift to Mr. Zheng Liang in this trip, under the order of Duke Zheng Liang." The Kanshou replied immediately, and at the same time put the gifts around him in front of the person who took the gifts in front of Wenzun's close friend.

"Gift?" The Inspector took a look at the gifts placed in front of him by Toji Jianfang. He saw four things in the gifts, namely three wooden boxes and an account book.

"This is a gift from Zhengliang Gong to the old man. Please take a closer look." Speaking of this, Huji Jianfang slowly opened the wooden box one by one.

When Sugi Xingyun, Tian Beijian, and the heads of the Shu Ziweimen were presented one by one in front of the remaining officials of the Inquiry House in the Deliberation Hall, a commotion suddenly caused. Although some people heard about the defeat of the Otomo family and the Oui family coalition, some people were still skeptical. Now after seeing these heads, they had completely believed it.

This had a huge impact on the remaining officials of the Junzhusou. No one expected that the army of nearly 30,000 people would be defeated by the Luo family. Some of them were even excited because some of their relatives led the Junzhusou family's military to join the Otomo family's camp. These people still had no news. Now they finally knew something clearly. They could not wait to inquire about their relatives from the Hoji Jianfang.

"What is this account book?" The photo of the question note is worthy of being a person who has been going through half a century. Although he was still fluctuating after seeing these three heads, he still took the initiative to change the topic without hesitation.

"Sorry, sir, I don't know what's going on here. It's better for me to see it myself." Seeing that the Insight House was not angry because of his rude behavior in person, Hoji Jianfang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was indeed not sure what was written in the account book. After all, without Zhengliang's permission, he would never dare to open the account book, so he had to salute apologetically and reply.

So he picked up the account book in front of him and slowly opened it. As he continued to read the contents, he couldn't help but burst into huge waves, even more panicked when he saw Shan Xingyun and others' heads.

This account book is the material account book that Yukiki lost in Rijiu City at the time, which records in detail the quantity and situation of various materials stored in Rijiu City.

Could it be that Rijiu City has fallen? Wenzhuo Kenzhao couldn't help but think. You must know that the reason why he insisted that he had not yet surrendered was mainly because as long as the Otomo family still had the opportunity to return to the Jihou Kingdom, the Wenzhuo family should not change to the Luo family. However, if Rijiu City is captured by the Luo family, it would be equivalent to cutting off the chance of the Otomo family entering the Jihou Kingdom again. At least in a short period of time, the Otomo family will not return to the Jihou Kingdom. And the Wenzhuo family has completely become an isolated island.
