On the evening of February 6, in Danxia Village, north of Minghai City.

After hearing the words of Lai Long, Mizuno, who came to ask for help, sat in his seat with a pale face.

"The lord asked us to strictly block the Naruto Sea. Not long after Dagao, he made such a mistake." Mizuno Tadashi clenched his fists and smashed the coffee table. "Is Lord Sakuma crazy? He went out of the city and went out of the city and field. Half of others wiped out, and he was seriously injured. Can't even defend Shanzhao Temple Village?"

"Stop the anger of Master Mizuno." Railong of the Beehouse said in a low voice, "Master Sasa let me tell you that everything is his responsibility. Master Sakuma was forced to leave the city for battle. He was willing to bear all the guilt from his lord."

"Asura is still the same." Tadashi Mizuno sighed, his mood had just calmed down a little, but when he thought that the unauthorized attack of Shanzhao Temple Village made the situation worse, he was furious and shouted: "Why did you go to fight at that time!"

Tadahiko Mizuno knew in his heart that the reason why the Oda family could maintain its advantages on the border and built Iwameng to siege Naruto and Otaka Castle was because the main force of the Imakawa family was unwilling to work hard to expedition. If the Imakawa family really came, the Oda family would immediately fall into crisis. Naruto, Otaka Castle, and Dagucheng were originally Ohachi territory, but at this moment they were controlled by the Imakawa family. Although the Oda family built Iwameng to intimidate the local wealthy families and ensured that most of the land was still controlled by itself, their prestige had declined seriously.

If Shinzhao Temple Village is lost, Nakajima Village, and the Shikizu Village and Maruen Village under the city of Ogao will immediately lose most of the contact channels with Ohashi. More than a thousand people stationed there will be able to escape back in pieces, and Iwam Village can only give up. At that time, the border situation that the Oda family has worked hard for several years will be destroyed, and the nobles of Aichi County and Chita County will also fall to the Imakawa family in large numbers. The Oda family will lose control of the southern Ohashi forever.

Although the total strength of the five Iwagu Villages of the Oda family is quite large, they are scattered in various places. If you want to rescue Shanzhao Temple Village, you must gather together. However, most of their communications have been cut off by the Imakawa family. Each Iwagu Village can only hold on and dare not go to rescue the siege.

"Sir," Lai Long, a beehouse, also knew that the trouble was so big this time. He was always aggressive and rude and strong, and lowered his tone. "At that time, only two people from Yuqiu, the Yuqiu family of the Imakawa Army were monitoring outside the village. We felt that there was an opportunity, so we attacked."

"There is an opportunity? I think it's Asura who is eager to take revenge." Tadashi Mizuno snorted, "Then how could you defeat the 2oo soldiers and dozens of black mother-clothed people?"

"Sir, Yu Qiuhei's troops are incomparable to those slaves who were in Chili last year. Their combat power is exaggerated." Lai Long, the Hibiya, now remembered the opponent's unmoving military formation, his swift and neat formation change and his aura of the entire army as he stabbed, and he was still chilling. "We all think Yu Qiuhei must have led other troops, and it is very likely that it was Semaki or Imakawa Yoshimoto's qinma team!"

"Did you see the horse seal of Imakawa Yoshimoto?" Tadukami Mizuno's eyelids twitched.

"That's not." Lai Long, the Beehouse, said honestly.

"Can you send someone to confirm again?" asked Tadashi Mizuno.

"I'm afraid it won't work anymore, sir." Lai Long, a beehouse, replied, "Short after we left, the Imakawa family surrounded the Shanzhao Temple Village. The internal and external contacts have been interrupted, and it may not be possible to contact the three Iwa Villages in the south."

"Then what are you talking about in the Flag Team?" Tadashi Mizuno snorted heavily, "Don't say more, go to the Kuno Castle to report."

"Yes, sir." Lai Long, the beehouse, led a few black mother-clothed people who broke out before the army surrounded the army and left Danxiazhai and ran towards the ancient wild city.

After they left, Tadashi Mizuno looked at the retainers behind him, "What do you think?"

"Your Highness." An old man said dissatisfiedly, "Sasa and Sakuma made a big mistake, but they were still unwilling to take responsibility. They deliberately exaggerated the power of the Imakawa family to shirk the blame, saying that the Yuqiu family's troops were Imakawa Yoshimoto's Qizhong team, which is obviously nonsense. It is very likely that they were defeated after leaving the city."

"It's right, I think so too." Tadashi Mizuno nodded, "The situation is already so serious, and Shanzhao Temple Village may be lost at any time, so our Danxia Village is the last line of defense."

"Once Danshizhai is lost, not only will our friendly troops in the three Iwa Villages in the south lose their way out, Aichi County and Chita County will lose control, and even the important town of Kurono Castle will be exposed to the Imakawa family's troops." As Mizuno Tadashi said, he knocked heavily on the map hanging on the wall with his hands, "So we must guard Danshizhai!"

"However, the main family mobilized a large-scale autumn harvest last year, which had affected the autumn harvest." Mizuno Tadashi sighed, "I have fought for years and have not stored a lot of grain. Spring plowing cannot be delayed by gathering troops. We have to rely on our own strength to defend Danxiazhai!"

"Sir..." an old man said hesitantly, "What if he is besieged for a long time? Our military rations are not left, so we must ask for support from the Kuno City."

"No, it's too late." Mizuno Tadashi shook his head, "What if the Imakawa army surrounded Danxiazhai before the troops were transported, and we will be able to die here? In order to save us, the master family has to recruit troops to fight again, and this year's spring plowing will also be affected."

"That is what Lord..." the retainer asked hesitantly.

"Carry grain from the surrounding villages and go tomorrow morning!" Mizuno Tadashi said bluntly.

"But... many of those people fled around Minghai City and Dagao City, and they didn't have much savings. The war last autumn destroyed a lot of farmland and recruited many men from there, delaying the autumn harvest. They were afraid... not much food..."

"Is it time to consider the people?" Mizuno Tadashi glared at the retainer dissatisfiedly, "We are now considering keeping food for the people. When the Danshi village is thrown away, will it be cheaper for the Imakawa family?"

"What the lord said is." The retainers nodded and began to prepare.

On February 7, the Imakawa army was busy strengthening the siege circle and building siege equipment, and did not continue to transport grain to Minghai City - there was no shortage of food anyway.

At the same time, the Zhongdao Village, Vulwjin Village and Marugen Village located in the south made the same judgment as Danxia Village and began to forcibly collect stored grain from the surrounding villages.

On February 8, the Oda family basically wiped out all the stored grains in the surrounding villages, while the Imakawa family successfully surrounded the Sanzhao Temple village. At the same time, the subsequent military rations were also escorted by the Matsuhide family and arrived at the army's military camp outside the Sanzhao Temple.

On February 9, Senashi Toshi left Senashi Yoshi and Okuhei Satoki stayed in the camp, and he took Yu Qiuhei, Asahina Taehyung and more than 20 confidants to ride horses to personally investigate the situation of Danshizhai. In addition, he also sent a horse to investigate the three island villages in the south.

However, to Yu Qiuping's surprise, just as they approached the small village east of Danxiazhai, they saw a group of people carrying small packages and leaving their village with their families.

At the signal of Senashi Tsuna, Yuqiuhei rode his horse over. Several farmers saw Yuqiuhei, Naoe Tadaehide, Amano Keito, and Honta Kannosuke, and all wanted to avoid it in horror. After seeing this, Yuqiuhei hurriedly jumped off the horse and led the horse over. The farmers stopped tremblingly and stopped running away.

"Old man," Yu Qiuping waved to an older farmer, "Are you from Danxia Village?"

"If you want to go back to the emperor, Caomin is from Danxia Village." When the farmer saw Yu Qiuping approaching, he hurriedly led his family to kneel down and kowtowed. Several farmers around him also knelt down immediately.

"Sir, you look like an Imakawa family, right?" the old man asked on his knees.

Keido Amano frowned suddenly, and the crow on his shoulder wailed. He asked in a deep voice, "How did you see that we did not carry the flag."

Hearing the bad intentions of Amano Keidu's words, the old man kowtowed a few more times, and kept saying something like "Sir, forgive me."

"Forget it, get up." Yu Qiuhei smiled and signaled Hontaku Nosuke and Naoe Tadae to help them up. "We can't see that we are not from the Oda family. What else can we do if we are not the Imakawa family?" Yu Qiuhei's smile made the dozen farmers looking at each other feel a little relieved.

"Old man, I want to ask, where are you, the ones who are in charge of your family?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"If you want to know, Caomin is going to flee the famine. My second son is in the bucket and I plan to join him." The old man said honestly.

"Tunsanjian?" Yu Qiuping remembered the village that was devastatingly damaged by the Oda family last year, and also thought of the war that broke out near Tunsanjian last year. "The age scene there is probably not good, and the old man may have to go there in vain."

"It's better than here!" The old man sighed and shook his head. "If I hadn't been able to survive, I wouldn't want to leave my hometown. This is where I've lived for the rest of my life."

"Why? Did you give birth to something?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"Hey, don't mention it. All the adults in the Oda family were blinded by lard!" The old man spat, "When the autumn harvest last year, my third son and fourth son were taken to be civil servants, which made my family's autumn harvest not complete. A few days ago, when we were plowing in spring, we seized all the grains in our village, and we couldn't even get the seeds and grains. How could we live this life?..." The old man complained for a long time, and the farmers also accused the tyranny of the Oda family.

Afterwards, Yu Qiuping followed the farmers back to their village and took a look. There was no one to cultivate the paddy fields around the village. All the old and young people went to the wild fields to dig grass roots and find wild rats to save food. People starved to death could be seen everywhere on the roadside, scent of rotten smell. Several families' houses were burned down, and the bodies of the whole family were thrown at the door.

"This is the end of not paying food..." the old man choked, "It's just a word of death. But what if I pay it, I can't live in the whole village."

The old man took Yu Qiuping to his home, and there was no food left. The rice warehouse for storing the grain was empty, and even the wooden boards were raised to pick up the grain that had fallen in the cracks. The old man's two young grandsons also came back soon, and they were all pale and thin, and they hadn't had enough food for a long time. The two of them held a small basket of wild vegetables that they picked, which was their food for the day.

Yu Qiuping couldn't bear it, so she left the dry food she carried with her to the dozen farmers. With tears in her eyes, she quickly left the village and went to find Shi Meishi Toshi to report her life.

"The Oda family has collected all the stored grains, and the people of these villages around Minghai City will not survive." Yu Qiuping whispered.

"Yesterday, I sent a horse to the south and also reported that the food reserves of the people around Ota Castle were also plundered by the Oda family. It seems that they are preparing to dig their hearts and defend themselves." Serashi Toshi sighed.

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and memories suddenly surged like a tide.

"Although, I have no power or ability to say such things to you, I will be a little arrogant," Yu Qiuping looked at the girl with tears in her eyes solemnly, "But I am willing to promise you and to families who are experiencing misfortune all over the world. I, Yu Qiuping, will do my best to save them so that they no longer have to experience separation from life and death."
