what?

What happened?

I just took a nap, why would I get up?

How come I don’t know that I’ve won?

what?

He was really going numb when he saw the title!

No, you journalists always want to make some big news. If there is any deviation in the report in the future, you will be held responsible, do you know? !

The insider of the shogunate army revealed it. Where did you get the insider?

I haven't received any news yet, what can I tell you?

Kujo Takayuki always felt that there was something evil about this matter.

The good news is that the arrangements made by Yae Kamiko and Kamisato Ayato in recent days have become clear.

The bad news is, he's still not sure what the purpose is.

Yae Kamiko and Kamisato Ayato probably got together with Coral Palace.

These newspapers should all be related to the Coral Palace, and they must be fulfilling a certain purpose of the Coral Palace, but he doesn't know what it is.

"Someone, come and find out what happened on the front line!"

If you want to further understand the other party's purpose, you must first investigate the matter thoroughly.

This time, the shogunate army no longer used regular information transmission, but instead expedited it with the personal approval of Kujo Takayuki.

The top moves his mouth, the bottom runs and breaks his legs.

The messenger ran all the way to the Jiu Tiao Formation House, but found that the Jiu Tiao Formation House was also confused.

Change players and continue to move forward.

On the way, he met a front-line messenger who came to report to Kujo Jinya, and only then did he realize that the so-called first battle was just a small and unremarkable conflict.

There have been at least eight, if not ten, such conflicts in the past month.

The so-called victory was just a face-to-face encounter, a few clashes of weapons, and then the Haiqi army retreated directly.

This move actually made it difficult for the shogunate troops on the front line to control the situation. Fearing an ambush, they simply withdrew.

He then sent a messenger to the Jiujiao Formation House to report the situation and ask what to do next.

However, the situation is no longer at a level that Jiujiaozhenwu can handle.

The news was quickly passed back to Tianling Fengxing.

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, reporting from the front, that's it."

"No, that's not right. Let the front line scout and report back! Be quick."

"Yes!"

After sending the people away, Kujo Takayuki looked at the newspapers with exaggerated contents on the table and fell into deep thought.

He actually felt that the report from the front line could not be wrong, but he reviewed it again out of caution.

So the question now is, what is the purpose of making such a trivial matter into a big fuss?

Kujo Takayuki suppressed his discomfort with the exaggerated content and read the articles carefully.

He actually discovered the problem.

Although the content and angles are different, there are some similarities.

Without exception, all of these articles mentioned that food was the biggest problem for Kaigi Island, which determined the life and death of Kaigi Island; the second biggest problem was the lack of weapons, which made it impossible to fight against the shogunate army.

All the articles ended with the island of Kaigi going to collapse, either on its own or at the hands of the shogunate army.

After discovering this, Kujo Takayuki thought about it for a while and suddenly realized it.

The other party is taking advantage of the situation and is like pinching his neck and begging for food from him!

Kujo Takayuki smiled contemptuously.

Are you kidding? If I, Kujo Takayuki, were threatened by you, I would jump off the castle tower!

The smile on his lips had not yet disappeared when he suddenly thought of a possibility.

A possibility that could upset his grand plan.

This made Kujo Takayuki's face look a little ugly.

After thinking about it again and again, I also think that this may happen.

"We have to think of a way to try."

Kujo Takayuki pinched his chin and came up with a good idea.

------

The next day, the news about Kaigi Island and the shogunate was still on the front page, except for some changes in content and title.

But these eye-catching headlines were circulated wildly within Inazuma City.

At the beginning, it was only spread limitedly among Inazuma's upper and middle classes and intellectuals.

After all, the current economic situation is very bad, and those who can afford to buy newspapers are not ordinary people.

These people are relatively rational about the content, they are skeptical and have limited discussions.

But Yaedo directly created the profession of newsboy.

The little kids waved the papers and shouted out the eye-catching, blunt headlines.

The entire Inazuma Castle was filled with the voices of these children.

Even those who could not afford a newspaper now knew the news that the shogunate army had won a great victory and that Kaigi Island was about to collapse.

People are discussing this topic.

Faced with this heated discussion, some people from the upper and middle classes and intellectuals could not help but join in.

From comparing the strength of both sides, to discussing whether Haigi Island will collapse, and then to discussing when Haigi Island will collapse.

Being brought in step by step.

Goebbels once said a classic saying: A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.

This may not be true, but it describes a fact.

In the environment where everyone was discussing the collapse of Kaigi Island, quite a few people who were initially rational also began to think so unconsciously.

There are always only a few people who can stick to their own opinions.

Such arguments also penetrated from the people to the shogunate.

At this time, a piece of news circulated within the Shogunate army and was intercepted by the intelligence department of the Coral Palace.

[Due to the damage of the narrow plank road in Wuxiang Blade, the connection between Mingzhui Beach and Tengdou Fort was cut off, and the supplies for the garrison at the front line of Tengdou Fort were changed to a combination of land and water transportation. 】

The intelligence personnel even obtained an accurate route map of the action.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

This information soon attracted the attention of Coral Palace.

Xinhai, Wulang and Jiang Ming all thought that this was a test, but they were not sure whether it was bait or whether there would be an ambush.

"We still have to go, but we have to make a thorough plan to avoid an ambush."

Jiang Ming made the final decision.

Chapter 20 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills

Kujo Takayuki arranged much more than just the actions of the shogunate army. He also mobilized some personnel stationed on Umijima Island.

Some were placed in advance, some came in with the refugee group, and some were bribed.

While the shogunate army was taking action, these people were also taking action.

They compiled what they had seen and heard recently into a written report and sent it out.

While Xinhai and Goro were planning how to rob supplies, Kujo Takayuki received the report from this group of people first.

The report presents a different conclusion.

People living inside Kaigi Island and those embedded in Kaigi's military reported that nothing had happened.

However, those who recently entered Kaigi Island among the refugee groups said that food was in short supply.

The reports from merchants who came into contact with Haigi Island were more complete. They said that Haigi Island reduced the food standards of the refugees and persuaded some of them to return.

There were also reports of overhearing a small group of Kaiji troops discussing the food crisis at a border checkpoint.

Of course, what these people didn't know was that while they were secretly eavesdropping on the Haizhi Army teams discussing the food crisis, these Haizhi Army teams were also secretly observing them.

The Haiji Army team deliberately discussed the food crisis loudly in secret and let these people hear it. It was all arranged by Xinhai.

Those who were sharp enough to notice this were secretly dealt with.

You know too much.jpg

When all this information reached Takayuki Kujo, this was the scene:

There are signs that Haigi Island is indeed short of food, but they are prioritizing cutting costs from the outside, so it seems that nothing is happening inside.

Kujo Takayuki believes that the above information can confirm that Kaigi Island is indeed begging for food.

If that were all, then he could ignore it for now.

Of course I still have to provide you with food. If you can't hold on, how can I make money?

He would wait until Haigi Island was on the verge of collapse and then give some of its energy to help them survive. In this way, the initiative would be in his hands.

Then, he could use the war to transform Inazuma's wealth into the private property of the Kujo family, thereby suppressing his political enemies, strengthening his rule over Inazuma, and diverting conflicts within Inazuma society.

This is what Kujo Takayuki was thinking.

But things are clearly getting out of control now.

At the regular meeting of the Tenryo Bugyo, the people of the Takashi family have taken the lead in opposing the further expansion of armaments and the continued involvement in the war.

The reason is: As long as we blockade Haiji Island, they will collapse on their own, so why should we invest in war preparations? It is better to use the money for war preparations to realize the eternity of the general.

Soon after, the Okazaki clan also began to voice their opposition.

[That old guy Okazaki, he finally took sides. ]

Kujo Takayuki cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

This time, it is the Takagi family that is charging in the front. The Okazaki clan not only has the amulet of Okazaki Rikuto's voluntary retirement, but it is also tied to the Takagi family's chariot.

The Tianling Fengxing sect began to split into two factions.

This is the not-so-bad possibility that Kujo Takayuki thought of, and it is now actually happening.

Can't the people in the Yingsi family really understand?

no.

Do the facts alone matter?

The important thing is that they can use this to attack Kujo Takayuki.

This is a rare opportunity.

The pressure that Kujo Takayuki put on them was really too great.

The theory of the collapse of Kaigi Island, which is now prevalent throughout Inazuma Castle from top to bottom, provides a solid foundation for their opposition.

They are even secretly promoting the spread of this argument.

But there is no way to defend Kujo's filial piety.

He also sent people to post notices on bulletin boards everywhere, claiming that this was fake news.
